How do you tell a uber-geek from a wannabe-geek?

when they both say "damn hoes" one is talking about women, the other one is talking about the broken water cooling system on his pc.

I laughed, but only because the joke was so stupid.

The terms are interchangable, one isnt technically correct, but people know what youre talking about when you say it :p

Wannabes use stock cooling. Uber-geeks spend 125 dollars on their cooling and mod stuff on their case.

They're not interchangable. They're two completely different things.

Can they recite the powers of two up to 1048576?
Do they memorize their Quake 3 CD Key?
Do they use Linux?
Do they know how to erase a hard disk with one command?

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1

Bye bye, MBR!

If the above are qualifiers I am in the uber-geek territory on all counts... :Q

If youre not a programmer, they are the same.

Unless you correctly type it as über-geek, you can't think of even being considered über.
