• Grammar mistakes make you twitch.

Though I guess that's more "pedant" than "geek".

Grammar is merely the designated syntax for interfacing with external humanoid lifeforms utilizing verbal or written communications protocols.

 

[dynomot]

Everybody and everyone's friends, family, and the bloke they know in the pub randomly call at your house with phones, laptops etc and "know" you can make them "work properly" again.

But language is so imprecise. Can't we all just speak binary?

I thought most people just spoke Mandarin.

Not any longer.

At a wedding reception, even slurring and unsteady on your feet, you have a queue of people wanting help with "this little problem". Yeah, thanks for ruining MY evening you thoughtless....

Tsk tsk ... that's the perfect time to embrace your inner geek and set their web browser proxy to a DNS server that offers nothing but clown videos and p@rn.

I'm more nerd than geek...

 

[dynomot]

you know your a geek when......

you can tell the difference between kbps and mbps
when you start getting upset because your apps are using up your excess ram memory
you shop for electronics according to tech specs more often than looks

 

[lunatic59]

you shop for electronics according to tech specs more often than looks

And you seek out the pale, skinny guy with the thick glasses for help rather than the 18 year old girl with the big ... personality.

 

[codesplice]

when you start getting upset because your apps are using up your excess ram memory

You know that free RAM is wasted RAM.

 

[lunatic59]

You know WHY free RAM is wasted RAM.

FTFY.

 

[codesplice]

Even better ^
