I once had a dream where I was being chased by an Abstract Class: it was trying to force new methods onto me, but I thought I was fine the way I was.
Does this count as nerdy? :p

...when you can count to 31 on one hand the correct way
...when you have an old College Algebra book you use for light reading
...when you own everything ever made by Monty Python
...when you own everything ever made by Mel Brooks

MY GOD! I AM NOT A NERD!

Ok..... I definaly qualify as a nerd. :rolleyes:
At least I'm not the only one.

You know exactly how long it takes for your computer to start and shut down, to the second, without a watch.
People ask you for computer help so often that you wonder why you are going to school when clearly you could support yourself by just answering quesions.
You send long, tecnical e-mails to your friends. They are used to them and just ignor them.
You are asked to define every other word in these e-mails.
You enjoy math and/or science.
You check your e-mail every 5 minutes. (in the summer I was known as the person who, no matter what time you sent me an e-mail, would reply back within the next 5-10 minutes)
You can't stand to have to sit and watch someone else struggle on a computer because you know you could have been done 10 minutes ago.

Check, check, check... check... *goes on reading for about 5 mins* check, check, check... <sigh> At least 75% of UpwardThrust's list, God damn! I'm a freaking nerd... I did not need that today... :(

–You hear Kid Rock's Cowboy song and think of Spike Speigel.
–You think everything strange that happens is evidence that The Matrix was right after all.
–You wonder why Budweiser doesn't make Synthehol.
–You study Japanese because you like anime so much.
–You try to build your own lightsaber.
–You try to use the Force.
–You worship any of the following: George Lucas, Gene Roddenbery, Osamu Tezuka, Larry and Andy Watchowski, and/or Q.

Check, check, check... check... *goes on reading for about 5 mins* check, check, check... <sigh> At least 75% of UpwardThrust's list, God damn! I'm a freaking nerd... I did not need that today... :(
Lol think how I feel (and my list was more focused at comp geek then general geek/nerd)
I make every SINGLE one of them lol (cept the smile one)

I was depressed


hell some of them like the email server ... I own more then three smtp servers :) lol

There's 10 types of people in this world:

Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Undersexed... so I think that fits in the nerd category. ;)

When you can talk in several programming languages and turn in homework assignments in them, only to be told by the teacher that he didn't understand what you'd written.

(AP Comp Sci, in case anyone was wondering)

When you have your hard drive contents memorized and cross-indexed, but can't remember where you live.

Ouch that cuts close! Lol just finished up making most of the final beta changes to one 78 k users

*You spend your weekend with your noncustodial parent reading the Encyclopedia Brittanica (At least I have an excuse - he doesn't have internet)
*You regularly start sentences with "I've developed a theory on..."
*The ends of those sentences range from why a black president would be assassinated to the psychology of popstars to why the fudge you made was grainy this weekend.
*You can talk about electron shells for an entire minute before realizing your parents have no idea what you're babbling about.
*You've been on NS for over a year
*You've seriously considered talking to a friend about American politics over lunch instead of hanging out where you know your crush will be.
*You go to those gay-straight alliance meetings even though you're not gay.
*You've been going long enough to notice that it's rarely a gay-straight alliance but either all gay people, or all straight people that just want to rant about their life.
*You're past middle school and still say you look better in glasses.
*Even in your worst class, people always ask you for help.
*Given three weeks for an assignment, you don't put it off because you're a lazy procrastinator - but because you know you only need two days.
*You've made a graph of the major political parties of your country and how they have evolved over the past 200+ years.
*You get depressed realizing that the U.S.A. has never had more than two big parties at one time.
*One of your favorite baby names is a president's name, and the other is your yoga teacher.
*You have dreams about DDR

I love these "you know you _________ when..." threads.

Which brings me to the next question... what if you don't fit most of the points, but are attracted to people who do? Time to up one's medication?

(hee! I get both the 10 joke *and* the 42 reference! And I'm too humanities-oriented to be a nerd! Go me!)

HA!

Was that ha meaning you don't have to be a nerd to know what a mox is, or that I'm a nerd simply for bringing it up, or something altogether different?

I'll admit guilt in all of these. One time my parents took away my internet and e-mail for 3 days. (it was supposed to be a week, but they gave it back early) I didn't realize how important it was to me. I..... found myself writing sad songs while playing my guitar and writing in a jornal. (and being the nerd I am I calculated down to the minute how much time I had left to go....) It's hard to think about. (breaks down sobbing)

I'm a girl and I was just wondering how many other girl nerds there are here. (we do exist, just very infrequently)

I'm a girl and I was just wondering how many other girl nerds there are here. (we do exist, just very infrequently)

Open your eyes, woman!!!

Every chick at my work (all five of us) knows UNIX and speaks fluent binary. I'm embarrassed to admit my conversational hex is a little lacking.

Why such low-level languages? THe lowest language I know is assembly. And I programmed my own Unix clone.

Crown me King Nerd!

...done! :cool:

P.S. To anyone who knows Assembly.... any good starting references you can recomend? I've been trying to look into it.

All I can say is that you know you are a nerd when you've held a conversation with someone over AIM when they are sitting less than five feet from you.

This goes doubly so if you actually use AIM to tell your college room mates something (and they answer on AIM) rather than speak. :) Not me, but one of my friends.

Let's throw a coronation party!

Well I think the award should go to Linus Torvalds.

I'll just settle for the title of "Prince Nerd"

I did that with my cousin (a while ago) literally (I just measures) 0.85 metres (circa 2 feet, 7 inches) away.

[Edit:] And it was MSN, not AIM. AIM is 73h sux0rz! IRC = 1337 ^.^

Thanks man! I'm 16, and I've wanted to leard for 3 years.... except my friends only know J#, C# and Visual Basic! (I know them plus C++, Turing [Grade 10 Programming], and, well, that's it! I want to know more ^.^)

BTW don't by the 2nd edition. It's way to expensive. I'm too poor to buy pricy books so I just bought the old version. Still good though...

Check it out!

Ok. Thanks.

I've been coding an OS. Actually two OS's. java and C are good, "VB is shit."
A famous decesed computer science said that.

I wouldn't mess with assembly unless you plan on doing some kernel hacking.

I guess when everyone else was studying in high school, I was actually getting laid.

VB is shit, I just know it because it's easy.

And to the guy who mentioned, getting laid, I could anytime I wanted, I'm just not that interested. See where I live the girls love the nerds! Please, don't move here! We don't want it to change! ^.^

For some reason I don't think their's a place where girls like nerds.(good looking girls at least)

Java is probably the best.

...you type better in your nth language than natural-born speakers of said language
...you worship all Real Programmers...
...including yourself
...you think stupid people wearing glasses and talking in freaky voices are posers trying to look cooler than they really are
...you know what "I am the monkay" and "I like swords" refers to
...you can make preppies three grades above you look like retards
...even though your GPA is one point below theirs
...your [insert any science class here] teacher hates you because you correct them
...every lesson
...because you read some huge text book on it when you were five and bored
...you think gods are 16-bit
...you can name the exact specifications for any Unreal, H.A.L.O., Counterstrike, etc. weapon
...you think "We Will Rock You" is a take off on "We Will ROXXU"

I love being a nerd. It owns.... making people look like retards is the best. The power, my gods, the power!!! It's the only time I feel alive!!! </BM reference>

You know you are a nerd when you are in Academic Decathlon or Quiz-Bowl.

Guilty. 4th place in medium schools in the state of Texas. Power to AcDec!!!

All I can say is that you know you are a nerd when you've held a conversation with someone over AIM when they are sitting less than five feet from you.

This goes doubly so if you actually use AIM to tell your college room mates something (and they answer on AIM) rather than speak. :) Not me, but one of my friends.

I can top that. My roommate and I were having two separate conversations on two different IM's when we were in adjacent rooms.

I'm a girl and I was just wondering how many other girl nerds there are here. (we do exist, just very infrequently)

The six comp sci / physics geeks from St. M's High School (all girls) would come say hi but we're kind busy with this Cold Fusion thing. Then we have a galaxy to hitch hike, but maybe we'll see you when we get back. ;)

For some reason I don't think their's a place where girls like nerds.(good looking girls at least)

I sorely hope you mean that you don't think there's a place where the *majority* of girls don't like nerds. Otherwise you just called me non-'good-looking'.

*feels slighted*

... you count in the hexadecimal system

... you count in the hexadecimal system

I ended up doing that for a while after spending way too much time modifying genetic files for Creatures 2.

Left me rather muddled when the holidays ended, and the dreaded maths classes started up again.

When you chat to people overseas daily, but couldn't name more than 3 people in your street.

I am a female. I love nerds. You animals. One thing, if you do something you do it right.

Post a pic and I'll judge.

You're definitely a nerd when your teacher mentions Soviet Russia and you automatically think of 'In Soviet Russia' jokes.

You're a nerd if you've ever been to a LAN party...
...and a bigger nerd if you've ever hosted one.


If you have 40 newegg tshirts sitting in boxes around you
If you were up at Midnight pacific with multiple countdown timers throughout your room/house

Actually, I have no idea. But it was a nice thought, right?

If you have 40 newegg tshirts sitting in boxes around you

You remember Egg.

Dammit i think i've got myself geeked into a corner ;-)

Oh, and you get phone calls from elderly neighbours asking how to work their e-mail...

I knew I was a nerd before I even looked at all this stuff. Still. LOL. n00b is in my vocab. its weird.

...Napoleon Dynamite is your ideal person/life partner.
...You can multi-task your computer into burning out its power supply (I managed that before, it's weird.)
...You think braces are dead sexy.
...You own more video games than you have teeth.



Napoleon Dynamite rocks man

Aren't those things more 'geeky' than 'nerdy'? I thought geek was like someone who was obsessed with computers, and a nerd was someone who was obsessed with an interest like science and technology.

I have to agree - I'm a maths major at uni, which makes me a nerd, but I'm still way cooler than a geek. :headbang:
And caffeine should be one of the major food groups...

You'd rather spend time on your computer than with people
You get frustrated when you can't move your mouse into real life
You leave your computer on, all the time

* You don't need to study for school, and you still pass

- You think its weird when people come to say and complain that they can't sleep because of all the computers in the server/guest bedroom being on.
- You have actually calculated the air veolicty of an unladen swallow.
- You have done this for both an African or a European Swallow.
- You have told someone that when their hard drive was behaving abnormally, that it was due to electro-magnetic fluctuations from the sun. Therefore they must protect their hard drive inside a pillow case full of magnets to maintain a stable field around the hard drive.
- They have done this.
- You read the tales of the BOFH religiously.
- The reason you went to university to study computing was to become a BOFH.
-You know what BOFH and PFY stand for before you click on this link and read all about it: http://www.theregister.co.uk/odds/bofh/
- You cringe over the fact that your mother says "oh that looks nice, why don't you get that" when you walk past an iMac

* You don't need to study for school, and you still pass

heh..you don't need to study for school and still do good...
1 semester in to college and it's still working : )

You quote star trek... reguraly

you worship, and offer sacrifices to , the god of averages

your two favorite channels of Sci-Fi and cartoon network.

your NES is defunct so you convert your laptop to act as one.
your considering doing the same thing for the Comadore 64
and the coleco vision.

you've ever had any one describe you as "knowing everything" (and know it's not true)

you've read the last two books in the 2001 series, and await the movies impatiently

you delibertly avoid D&D because you know you'll become adicted if you don't

you spontaneuosly start humming the starwars imperial march... and your friends join in.

your away message is Kaaaaaahn!

you know what a MUD is...

You think caffeine is one of the major food groups


you think caffeine is the ONLY food group

...you say Grand Theft Auto and you think of the game before the crime

How is grand theft auto for nerds?

There's a lot of Monty Python fans out there ...
Fetch me a shrubbery!

I don't get it...
binary use your fingers as powers of 2 (1,2,4,8,16 in this case) and then any fngers which are up you add together.
...You can multi-task your computer into burning out its power supply (I managed that before, it's weird.)
sadly I have no chance of doing that because my screen usually turns its self off first (so that means I can boot the computer with the screen off.
To the girl who was asking, I'm another nerdy girl, but only on occasions.

*my criteria is if you have more than 200 IM contacts and less than 20 are people you know irl.

When I was growing up my parents used to light the candles on my birthday cake in binary ... it was a lot easier to blow out, although I felt a bit stupid blowing out one candle for my sixteenth birthday.

I answered yes to some of these, but only because of NS.
