<< You have oc'd your coffeemaker :) >>



Or when you've successfully installed Mandrake 8.2 on your coffeemaker, and gotten it to boot...
>>



If you were truly geeky, it'd run slackware or debian or freebsd or something, not mandrake.


Oh, and I've only done one so far (considered overclocking my TI83)
>>



The whole point in doing Mandrake is that 8.2 comes on 3 cd's... :D

(then again, maybe the best part is not only getting it to boot, but to get it to properly recognize the correct brand of coffee filter you're using...

you refer to yourself in the third person and instead of saying "BBWF is hungry" or whatever, you way "/me is hungry"

also when you see someone you tell them wb.

instead of handing someone something, you try to dcc it to them.

you ponder writing a script that would clean your house, but decide that your sed and awk skills just arent there yet.

:D

14. When you see your friends almost daily, but have only ever seen a few of them in real life.

15. When you've got sh!tloads of Divx movies and games lying around, but only seen like 1/10th of them at most, cause you are too busy downloading more.

<< 8. When your motto is "I'm so cool I run at 0 degrees Kelvin". >>


no way! they cant even get absolute zero to occur in labs. that would be a unrealistic motto.
:cool::cool::cool::cool:

So someone giving a "110%" into something is realistic then?

19. If you're joking around with someone IRL, you say "jk, jk!" instead of "just kidding" (I know someone who does this)

20. You refer to things not on the computer as IRL (In Real Life)

22. You have ever been accused of having an addiction to your computer and had someone offer to pay for the rehab.




<< << 2. You have, or have had thoughts about overclocking your graphing calculator. >> >>



Is that possible? Hmm, what would I have to do to over clock it?

#24 When you e-mail someone next to a window to see if it is raining.

I modded my Ti-85 in high scool. I added 1 meg of memory for all the games I had installed:) Never overclocked it.

When someone asks you for your phone number, you automatically take out your Palm/Pocket PC and try to beam it to them.
