If you fit anywhere on this this handy flowchart. Bonus points for the further down the chart you fit. (I fit in 5 different branches. Some higher up, some lower down.)
heh. I only made a couple spots.
BUT …
mmmmmm… flowcharts… purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Your fingers know more passwords than your brain does.
10.1.1.21 and many more. 
One of the drawers in that cabinet is full of serial mice, 5 1/4" disks, and even an 8K (bit) card of core memory.
…You use “star dot star” in casual conversation.
…You laugh at most every instance of a computer in popular movies and television (Did anyone catch the “IP address” used in a recent episode of Law & Order?).
…You like reading the message headers of spam.
You might be a MMORPG geek if…
You know what MMORPG stands for.
You bite the heads off of live chickens.

Your poor wife, who fits into the flowchart too, no longer understands 70% of what you talk about 50% of the time- d_redguy!
… you know what recursive acronyms are.
… you think recursive acronyms are funny.
You might be a computer geek if …
You don’t trust anything that won’t boot from a floppy if necessary.
You try to fix car problems by turning the engine off, then back on again.
You’ve ever implemented an algorithm using Tinker Toys.
You cringe when someone says they “programmed” in HTML.
You cringe when someone says they “programmed” in BASIC.
You find yourself saying things like this in real life as well as on the SDMB.
You’ve ever muttered these sayings

[li]Compatability is a good thing, except when you have to make it happen.[/li][li]Standards are great. There are so many to choose from.[/li][li]POSIX: Bible to some, toilet paper to the ones you must work with.[/li][/ul]
… you know what POSIX is.
… sockets are not for lightbulbs in your world.

… … and think it’s beautiful.
… this makes sense to you:
for i in $*
do
ps -A | grep -y -e "$i" | awk '{ print $1,$4 }'
done
… cars have nothing to do with transportation in your world.
When I watch television and movies I pay close attention to the pens that characters are using…
In “Enemy at the Gate” I was sure the main character uses a ballpoint to write some letters to his fans. That’s just not right as ballpoints hadn’t been invented yet. Perhaps it was a mechanical pencil… I’ll have to watch it again.
In Apollo 13, I’m sure that in one scene they are using a normal clear stick pen… in zero gravity. Not only would a normal pen not function but the pens used in NASA missions are made by Fisher as they are pressurized and designed to withstand the rigours of spaceflight.
I also have a large collection of comics… Lola and I also have a huge collection of Trek material from books to movies to entire seasons of episodes.
At least the geek found another geek.
…when you are forced to write longhand, your message is peppered with emoticons, actions in ** (eg rolls eyes) and lots of commands starting with /.

You smooth out your skirts to sit down… and you’re not wearing a skirt… and you’re a guy…
You criticize any and all medieval movies fighting, arms and armor, clothes. etc.

-
You spear-hand the elevator button.

You fall down, fall properly, and kiyap when you fall… on the sidewalk in winter…
-
Your friends all run screaming when you say “Hey, I just learned this… grab me!” to them.
-
You’ve spent hours and hours doing wall-running, and don’t understand why people think its so cool in the Matrix… you do it every week… without wires.
-
You do staff spins and strikes with anything of a decent enough length that comes into your hands.
Again, many of these gripped from internet sources…
If you casn’t understand a number unles it is written in scientific notation,
2.5 x 10^3
honestly i have trouble reading a calc if there are any additional zeros
If you laugh at a Volkswagen Beetle with a license plate that says FEATURE.
And Priceguy brings up the One-Part Geek Test.
I think that car/plate combo actually exists in Cally-forn-ya.

“What time is it?”
