…You’ve looked at someone in disgust and thought to yourself “RTFM!!!”
Wait - it’s NOT?? Then that means…so CAS and TOK and your EE aren’t the center of the universe?
I’m so confused…
But yeah, the sleep thing is one of the reasons I’m dropping IB. :rolleyes:
IANASE, but I know what kips are, and my favorite calulator is an HP 15C, which does nothing but RPN.
I will confess that I only know what kips are when a few months ago, we had an advisory meeting that 3- and 4-kip concrete panels part of a new building adjacent to us were going to be swung around by crane over our building and snuggled in around our generator plant so we should keep an eye out for big heavy things falling from the sky. :eek:
Hmmm… think that sentence is at least half a kip on its own. 
A surprisingly large amount of diverse things fit here. Including being turned down for the “Feature” plate. I just have a small Y2K sticker… from 1998. Over it is now a 2038 sticker.
Perhaps I should get a “Ranch” sticker for my Focus when I get it.
You might be a geek if:
You can recite Vogon poetry from memory.
You subscribe to 3 videogame magazines.
You can argue the merits of 3dmark2001se vs 3dmark2003
You’ve ever told a hacker wannabe script kiddie to hack IP 127.0.0.1 hehe
This happened to me this weekend:
When out with your girlfriend, and you see a friend of yours at the bar, the two of them, who have never met, recognize each other solely from your online photo gallery.
You constantly correct people’s grammar. When they’re speaking Spanish.
You saw this thread and IMed the URL to your friends.
But first you deleted “&pagenumber=3” from it to make it neater.
You have had a meaningful conversation with SmarterChild.
And saved it.
And showed it to your friends.
You made a remix out of that clip of Madonna saying “What the f*** do you think you’re doing?”
You’ve had entire conversations like this:
A: has memorized [sqrt(pi)]
[/QUOTE]
That’s all I can think of right now…
You want to type wq! to save a Word doc.
You remember the last 3 root passwords (or more)
You can’t understand why more people don’t set up sudo files instead of giving idiots root access.
(Oh, so many of these aply to me…)
You’re a math geek when:
You can do integration by parts in your head, but you can’t add a column of numbers without a calculator.
You go see “Lord of the Rings” and are horribly disappointed when it’s not about integral domains and fields.
You know precisely why the square root of 2 is irrational.
Your kid asks for help with her arithmetic you explain addition by starting with the words “Take set A and…”
Your favorite bar trick is “The Monty Hall Problem”
Actually, according to the guy that sits next to me here:
There are really 11 kinds of people; those who understand binary, those who dont, and those who just think they do.
just a thought.
You’re an astronomy geek when:
Someone asks if you know where your galaxy is, and you look at your watch, calculate, in your head, where your galaxy will be right now, and point to the correct place.
Had to do it here for my first post, hehe. LCP2972 turned me onto this site.
…you know your GMT offset and use it regularly.
…can remember your favorite D&D character and what level they were 20 years after you stopped playing.
and someone mentioned before that naming your computers makes you a geek…well maybe, but how about naming your computers based on a theme, like B-Movie monsters, comic book characters, or the periodic table?
…and having more than one theme?
…and changing them out on a regular basis?
Or you hit escape when you finish typing so that you can quit or type somewhere else.
. . . and you correct people who say “Inigo Montoya” instead of “Indigo Montoya.” (Yeah, he’s Spanish, so he pronounces Indigo such that the d slips by.)
Or you find yourself constantly deleting “:w” from your documents.
