You know you're a geek when........

[duncan12]

You know you're a geek when you're programming in C++ and Java at 13 years old. Was programming HTML and JavaScript at 12.:)

Yep, well I'm just 13. PHP, HTML/CSS, C and Arduino. JS and Python's next up.

[winh8r]

You walk into a bar and say "sudo get me a beer please"

[AdmiralMorketh]

You look at a movie trailer and think, "I have that typeface."
Someone asks you what languages you know, and you reply PHP, C++, Python, HTML, AIML
Someone mentions the Q Continuum, and you know what that means.
You can remember your IP address faster than your phone number.
You do your best work after 11 p.m.
You calculate the odds of getting one of the primo parking spaces in relation to your apartment, factoring in time, weather, season, etc, and are accurate over 80% of the time.
Everyone in the neighborhood brings you their computers to figure out what is wrong.
You walk past a Con and people know who you are.
You carry a 12 TB USB Drive to and from work.
You've bought one of those license plate holders on which you can have your URL or E-Mail address embossed.

You have discussions of any kind on Ubuntu Forums.

If you think that your school district switching over to Linux would be better for their financial situation, especially if they can barely afford to put Windows 7 in a few of their schools.

Seriously, can't afford or run any current Windows, just install a good Linux distro, such as Crunchbang, Fedora, or Ubuntu instead, it's free, and actually better in a lot of ways than Windows.

how come you can't hear and drink at the same time?

You wrote a IM program in a batch file!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Robert Moyse]

When something goes wrong in real life, you always hit ^Z, even though a keyboard isn't there.

When you see a piano, you always try to type on it a command that I cannot say here, but it is to do with reformatting your hard disk and starts with m and ends with s.

You know your children are (going to be) geeks when they learn to surf internet before learing to talk.

In fact based on real story. My friend's daughter easily navigates youtube to watch cartoons or some local flash game sites to play some games, at the age of THREE.

You know you're a geek when you primarily only use three graphical programs: A web browser, Minecraft, and a terminal.

[rima]

.....you spend 90% of your computer time researching awesome new terminal commands/Linux stuff/Linux news.
.....trying to persuade your school/college IT department to install at least 1 Linux on one of the computers
.....when your friends finally ask you "what's Linux?" and you have a 3 hour talk with them
.....when you realize you're one of the few people in the town to run Linux
.....understand all the techie talk (obviously ^^''')
.....cannot help but picture everything everyone says to you in a Terminal
.....almost never buy a computer book because you understand too much in it
.....when you talk about computers so much your non-geeky friends begin to understand what you're on about

you realize that downloading crap takes longer to do but requires less work because you don't have to get in a car, walk or use mass transit to get to the store to put a cd/game on the debit then go home to install/rip the game/cd and then (if it a game) wait for it to update and also the down side to downloading, you can't watch your anime while the files are down loading.

When editing in LibreOffice Writer (or Microsoft Word) you keep putting text between <b> tags to bold them.

[sulyi]

When you run through your town yelling "Heureka", just because you had an epiphany putting your bare *** in a hot bath.

Or when the only thing you lack to move the whole world out of its corners is a point that stands still.

Or when you are so hated, that you are killed without prosecution of war crimes, because of your invention that can vanish a battleship from sea in sight.
And yet you have the nerve telling: "Noli turbare circulos meos".

Or you know it when,
centuries later a famous lawyer, told to have a golden tongue, bothers to write a speech to shame those who forgot about your grave. Despite of your unique tombstone that shaped as a constellation of a sphere, a cylinder and a cone to immortalise the accomplishment of determining the ratio of these shapes' volumes, humbly, you thought was your greatest.

Or after more millenniums a bunch of people spends a decade to restore the only known copy of your scripture that some wise guy almost destroyed writing religious songs all over things.

If it is still not obvious who I am praising. here are some hints: he's town was Syracuse, the golden tongue lawyer guy was Cicero, and the last one, the title of his palimpsest scripture is De Methodica.

I had somebody body come up to me in a large (town-wide) crowd and say "how many people do you think knows what that means?" referring to my (black) Ubuntu hat.
