You now you're a FemGeek when...
you flirt with someone by talking about your personal sudo rights, and you shoot someone down by denying sudo rights. Bonus points i this happens on IRC.

No and yes - REAL techs use IRC :P But he doesn't lose points for having to explain it, only if it has to be explained.
Not only that, but I have CDs of multiple Linux distros in a 320 CD carrier. For most, I keep 4 versions back - for Ubuntu, it's 7.10, 8.04, 8.10, and 9.04 at this time, with a disc for each of...
I usually offer two options - fix what they need fixed, usually at 1/2 of Geek Squad's prices (They think they're getting a great deal, I'm making enough to be worth it). Or, I offer Linux, and free...
Close, I was installing Ubuntu on a new computer and adding software
Hey, I'd not dump someone for that! Heck, I'd probably be sitting *next* to him, on my computer, maybe even IMing with him!...
Even if you don't run it as root, doesn't it still delete a LOT of stuff? At least documents and such.
You know it's before your caffeine when you wonder about that and decide "Hm. Maybe I cauld...
There's quite a big difference, depending on who you talk to. To me, geek is a compliment, while nerd is an insult.
Geeks are the ones that keep the world running, and continue learning about...
"Mom, dad, I was just adopted by four guys I've never met."
Oh, I did forget about Jamendo. It's been a while since I used it. I'll have to check Spotify out too.
I also noticed that about using Linux - it's caused me to want expensive software less. I...
*grins* But, hey, it's possible to have that much legit and free. Depends on how much indie and classical you like, though ;)
Seriously, though, there's a lot of good free stuff out there. For...
I've priced out building my ultimate dream machine (Basically, state-of-the-art-and-then-some for everything) and I've not gone over $3000. ;-)
To *actually* build a machine I'd use for everything...
Fun Weekend Amusement: Someone drinks out of a glass of water, you stare at them horrified. Say, "Didn't you know that's dihydrogen monoxide? It's fatal if inhaled!" And wait to see if they get it or...
/me points to signature.
Been there, seen that ;)
All of them? O.O I have the Linux Complete Command Reference, and there are 1527 pages. And this was back in the 90's (Granted, not many commands have changed a lot since then, maybe a few bugfixes...
Heh - note the ;) in his reply... though , I'll admit, it wasn't obvious until I saw it in your quote...
YKGAGW you have an Emergency PC Repair Kit ready to go when friends or family have computer...
That's not really much to worry about - it looks like you added the Medibuntu repository but didn't add the GPG key. All that means is that it's missing a layer of security
Open up terminal and...
The main issue here seems to be the difference between the terms "use" and "access" - Most variants of Linux can read and write to both FAT32 and NTFS now, but it cannot use either as its main...
I have personally noticed quite a few improvements, in areas that were small annoyances before. I recommend trying out a live CD and see what's different for you, and whether those differences are...
*snicker*
On an unrelated note, YKYAGW you dreamed that you were in IRC. Happened to me the first time last night. I feel pathetic and yet very amused. I do wonder why I never dreamed about IMing...
...at the same time.
YKYAGW you don't need to do anything to get your machine working after an upgrade - but break things anyways to know how to fix them.
YKYAGW you have built a bash script for a fresh install that...
YKYAGW you're excited that 64-bit Jaunty is MUCH more stable on your system than 32-bit Intrepid (And Intrepid was nearly flawless)!
I also find it ironic the 64-bit alpha of Adobe Flash works...
Indeed. Don't make me take out the baseball bat again.
YKYAGW you have to edit a piece of art for a Photoshop class, and the first thing you think of is M.C. Escher:
<shameless plug>...
I've actually caught myself, when writing essays and such, using "/me" as a shortcut for typing in my name.
