You might be a geek if...

Ok I'm not the best at writing gag lists, but I thought this one would be fun for everyone to work on. So far I've got 20+ and the list keeps growing.

Go here to see the current list.

Feel free to post any ideas you think should be added to that list. The funnier the better!

You chuckle when someone makes a bad pun off "All your base are belong to us."

[Fausto]

Using the term "w000t!" in casual conversation is a good tipoff.

If you have more then one messaging program open at a time.
If you have ever messaged some one in the same room.
If you can name every part in your system, including brand names of fans and powersupplies.
If you have ever managed to make a system spark/smoke/catch fire.

When WinXP installation says the Code entered is invalid, you can look at it and immedietely see whats wrong.

I'm reformatting my laptop right now and that just happened.

EDIT: Think your 4 80gb HD's on Raid 0 and your 200gb 8mb cache HD don't give you enough storage room.

 

[LordRaiden]

Wow, great stuff guys! You certainly are Uber Geeks! hehe.

55. You'd consider an hour woeful inadequate to fully debate the merits of competing operating systems, or could speak for more than 30 seconds about why a PC is better than a Mac, and every discussion about these topics concludes by paying homage to a now dead company's product such as your old Amiga or Voodoo2 card.
56. Come Monday morning at work, you're quoting the latest synthetic benchmark instead of football scores to your coworkers.
57. The network administrator at work routinely asks you for input on fixing a problem.
58. Or he asks you to build a system for him.

 

[WinkOsmosis]

Most of this list is not funny at all and downright idiotic. Who writes this cheesy, non ironic, non clever crap?

You can tell what the refresh rate of a monitor is just by looking at it.
After you build your new computer, you surf online to pick out parts for your next new computer.
You haven't watched TV or used the phone since you got internet.
You don't reply to anyone who has an e-mail address that ends in @aol.com.
You know more serial numbers and product id numbers than phone numbers.
You have an ICQ number that is less than 100.
"REPOST" is considered a complete and correct English sentence.
You know who Richard Stallman and Bjarne Stoustup are.

23. Your computer needs so many fans that it sounds like a jet prepping for takeoff.
31. You have ever deferred to the advice of a message board for a medical, possibly life threatening issue.
46. If you have ever managed to make a system spark/smoke/catch fire.

I like these because I've done all of these recently.

In May I badly sprained my ankle and posted here to decide whether or not I should go to the doctor. I didn't go.

About a month ago my power supply blew up, literally, a capacitor blew and sparks flew everywhere.
Now my new power supply and new fan i added make my computer audible from downstairs. lol.

My additions:
55. You brag about the size of your DVD collection, and even more about your downloaded shows collection.
56. You've ever actually said "laugh out loud" after hearing a joke.
57. Your post average on AT excedes your age.
58. If a deciding factor of where you go to college is how nice their RESNET is.
59. A part of your computer dies and regardless of what it is, you have 2 more in your closet you can replace it with.
60. You have 3 or more AIM names you use regularly, but you still insist AOL sucks.
61. You walk into you local computer store and everyone shouts your name as if you were Norm from Cheers.
62. If you've ever considered, or even tried to, add a freon coolant system to your computer.
63a. If you succeeded in adding said coolant system.
63b. If after reading the previous reason, you are now researching adding a freon coolant system.
64a. You can kick anyone's ass in Simpsons, Star Wars, Star Trek, Anime, etc. trivia.
64b. You're proud of the fact that you can kick anyone's ass in Simpsons, Star Wars, Star Trek, Anime, etc. trivia.
65. If you spend more than half your paycheck on items from Hot Deals.
66. If you spend more time playing Everquest (or any mmorpg) than you do working, sleeping, and going to school combined.
67. If you go to more than one LAN party a week.
68. If it's 4 a.m., you haven't slept in more than 24 hours, you have a major project you not finished with due the next day, and you're posting on ATOT.
69. If you're response to this number is "Huh huh, he said 69". And you do it in either Beavis or Butthead's voice.
