    ...you see YKYAGW and subconsciously pronounce it as 'yikyag'.

    ...you're at a neighborhood block party, and start to describe your rig's specs to a fellow geek. By the time you're done, you've got a small crowd listening. After a few conversations, you realize your machine is the most powerful for a few blocks around you.

    Using a shared computer/a computer where I don't have admin privileges makes me die a little on the inside. I cry a bit every day when I have to use the computers at my office. The company I work for has them locked down tighter than Hitler's ass and will only let us use an outdated version of IE on a machine with Windows 7. There are literally a dozen problems with the Cisco software on them that could be fixed in under a minute, but without admin access... And they won't let me use my laptop instead of one of their computers. I'm literally the only one who seems bothered by it; I don't know that it makes me a geek, perhaps just a bit neurotic.

    Guys, you know you are a GEEK when you just use this thread to put in anything that belong to 'Frustration thread' here but you think that 'Nonsense thread' would have been a better choice !

    What the heck is IE?? I've heard of BSD and GNU and GPL but they don't make me wince. Is it:
    i.e. is used to explain, clarify or rephrase a statement rather than listing options, in which case e.g. should be used.
    Oh! Maybe I get it now. When you have to i.e. something; that is, explain it three or four times to a Windows friend, it makes you wince?? Did I get it?!

    IE = Internet Explorer (aka malware-catcher)

    You know you're a geek when you see cd and think change directory instead of compact disc.

    ...you feel at home only on your machine. Otherwise, all is not right with the world.
