I'm definately a mix of the casual and hardcore geek. Just remove all the anti-social stuff and throw in some of the love of technology stuff that the ultimate geek has and that's me.

Maybe there needs to be a new category, the athletic geek... but I guess that might be a casual geek. I say that because why I am a geek when it comes to computers and technology, I still play sports alot, and even played for my high school football and soccer teams way back then. :D

A hardcore geek would not even think of using AOL Instant Messenger and would certainly not have 200 buddies.

Anyway, I'm closest to hardcore, but I dream in XML. lol

I am ULTIMATE. I rarely see the sun. I can't live without my handheld or at least some kind of computer near me. Linus is my god. I met my girlfriend on a MUCK. (Mu*, ya know those online text mode RPGs). People call me by my nickname. I wear a t-shirt that says in front, and in the back. I mod all my cases, I throw lan parties, I use /me outside of IRC. I use emoticons when I write on casual paper. I have my own webserver, my domain name, my PHP website. I use Linux. I loooove linux. I have a pinguin doll with a "Anti Bill Gates" button on it's chest. I don't dream in XML but I do dream in shell script. I am all excited at the idea of establishing a IPv6 -> IPv4 gateway. I get my tan from cathodic lights, I type @ 75 words per minutes average. I learned how to type from the dispositions of these letters "I D D Q D" and "I D K F A". I wear a hard disk platter on a chain tied to my pants. I hacked my scholar commision (network of all the schools in my province)'s Novell Netware servers and gained ZEN access. (ZEN = root acess on netware) My desk is covered in used CD-Rs. When I exchange information and data with other geek friends, I give them a hard drive instead of cd-rs. I routed my server mail to my Cell Phone. I have a wireless network across the house. (Do you like the idea of sitting outside next to the pool? One of the rare times I go outside.)

Lol this is funny. I agree with faction i think, i'm somewhere in between non-geek and ultimate, i get excited about stupid stuff, know quite a lot of sh*t and spend quite a lot of time on my PC, but i have a social life and enjoy going out with my friends a lot and get wasted on a regular basis :)

You have more e-mail addresses than you do pairs of shoes.

You spend more than 10 minutes contemplating how traffic lights work.

If you paid $6000 for your computer and $500 for your car.

Someone mentions the Q Continuum, and you know what that means. :)

Everyone in the neighborhood brings you (to) their computers to figure out what is wrong.

You hear the word "Scuzzy" and the first thing you think of is not an adjective.

Enjoy !!

Keldyn:D

Hell ya I know what the Q Continuum is. Even have the 1st season on DVD, and traffic lights are entriging. I'm between casual and hardcore.

One more ? where can I find out what exactly all of the l33t words are.

Hey space guy ive seen threads from you, all over the shack day and night, and Faction mate your a mod here, if your subscribing to forums, or moderating them I think we can conclude you rate as a bit of a geek. No offence to the mods, I just dont see how people can sit here and say "im not a geek" Your either a geek or ya not a geek. Now im pretty sure the people that define whats a geek, namely your mates, would say that just being in this thread rates ya as a bit of a geek.
