Congratulations on your majorhood! The Geek Test needs desperately to be updated to include shows like BSG and Heroes. Maybe we should establish a Geek Committee to come up with a more encompassing Geek Test. It is very important that we keep Geek Admissions as fair as possible while maintaining the superlative level of quality Geekery that we are famous for. Unfortunately the Venn Diagram of Geek and Goth has no overlapping sections, therefore you may be very unique. Geeks are afraid of Goths since a significant percentage are anemic to begin with due to late nights on the motherboards.org forum and lack of sunshine, and they can't spare any blood to be sucked out. Also not on the Venn Diagram is Voltaire. However, if you shorten that to Volt, you'll get lots of takers. And always remember the Geek Mantra: Ohm, Ohm, Ohm...
I am a totally non gay guy so I can't really comment on Baltar's HAWTness. I see him as a malnourished weasel that wouldn't even qualify for nerdhood, let alone the glorious hierarchy of Geekery. I guess I must be missing something about him. Now Helo is a typical strapping tall boy and I can certainly see how he would be irresistable to the average Cylon sex maniac.

As I explained to gothygeek, it's an unfortunate tendency to segregation but Geeks tend to shun Goths. To Geeks anyone who stays awake all night without Red Bull is unnatural. First of all, Goths don't get Geek poetry. They're up to their ears in Anne Rice and Vlad the Impaler and don't appreciate the romantic subtlety of:
roses are #FF0000
violets are #0000FF
all my base
are belong to you
To snoogins
Sims! Now you've hit a Geek jackpot. But note that Sim people or ants will only get you mediocre Geek credit. SimCity, however, is an ultimate Geek Cred Status Symbol. And of course, not 2000 or 4000. You have to play SimCity 3000, which is the only "true" SimCity. Running SC3000 at a LAN party is the equivalent of showing up at your local club in a pimped-out Escalade, half a mil of gold and diamonds around your neck and Christina Aguilera swooning on your arm.
Books are definitely read, but not Stephen King. Geek tastes run to C++ programming manuals and IEEE reports.
Unfortunately Geek and Dork are closer on the Venn Diagram than Geek and Goth, but share very little overlap. Dork is more of a Gamma or Delta to Geek's Alpha. You really have to brush up on critically important factors such as the latency of OCZ DDR3 and W3Perl analysis of Apache logs.
To Ikusa
49% is very respectable. You're definitely within sight of 1337 status.
To justforumsplease
Yeah, the Mrs. S. line is really a classic. I think it's one of the best ones out there.
I'm sorry that you're experiencing relationship problems with your computer, but you have to realize that as in any relationship, it takes two to tango. Are you open to your PC's needs, hopes and desires? Have you taken your PC for granted? When was the last time you treated your PC to a new mousepad or turned down the lights, lit candles, and slowly and sensuously opened its case and vacuumed out the dust bunnies?
However, you may already qualify for proper Geekdom by the autographed Dune, Scottish Tragedy (a Geek never calls it by name) and Trek stuff. I'm astonished that O'Brien would buy a beer for a woman at an airport... what would his wife Keiko think? Gasp!
To AwP
You have to understand that complete dysfunctionality is highly sought-after. Any "man" can take a lady out to dinner, drinks, dancing and show her a great time. A Geek's idea of a perfect date is when he meets his lady in his basement (or better yet, treehouse) and she brings her own Jolt Cola and just-burned DVD of the latest MS Vienna OS Alpha.
To sassyaquarius
Please tell me that you are referring to the writer of the Geek Test. Personally I'm only acting as a Geekvangelist, a facilitator and introducer of people into the wonders of 1337zoidness. As a nerd, there is significant Venn Diagram overlap, but you may find that your Geek bf's attention will wander when you insist on proving that the Euler-Mascheroni constant is irrational while he just wants to discuss how he just downloaded a secret Beta of Duke Nukem Forever.
To Roxi75
Yeah, why do you think we're here instead of at the March Break MTV Wet T-shirt Contest??? Geeks only go outside for SciFi conventions and fire drills. You never know who you might meet in "the street." Maybe the bully who used to give you atomic wedgies in Grade 9 or worse yet, a relative.
Now, ladles and germs (typical Geek salutation, second only in popularity to Live Long And Prosper) allow me to break the earth-shattering news to all of you. Today is a day that will go down in Geek history. Decades from now, Geeks all over the planet will look back on this day as the beginning of the Third Golden Age. Far more important than Samsung's 2GHz 4Gb/s GDDR4 breakthrough. Far more significant than Nintendo ending Gamecube support. Even far more critical than the new IE7 phishing hole. Yes, it's finally happened. The Hollywood Reporter has just confirmed that JJ Abrams will not only produce but direct the new Star Trek movie.
Someday you'll be able to tell your grandchildren that you were alive on the first day of the Third Golden Age of Trek. They will gaze upon your aged, decrepit body, utter a respectful "oooh" and then go back to playing Torquemada on their holographic RPG. | |

Posted: 2/24/2007 4:04:27 AM | Actually... I'm a guy, but thanks... I have been working out lately.
Personally, I think the reason he bought me a beer is because I did not bring up DS9 with him. I complimented him on his wonderful performance in "Layer Cake". When I approached him, he had that look on his face that said, "Joy... another Trek fan."
49.677% geek...

Posted: 2/24/2007 5:13:00 AM | ^^^Oops, sorry! Didn't check your profile! But congrats on reaching almost 50% Geek! I'm proud of you!!! Keep up the great work! 
Here, to make it up to you for mistaking your gender, here is a Geek Poem that will impress the Geek Goddesses. You can use pass it on royalty-free. 
<ode>
Geek brains are fantastic,
they get me all hot,
when you speak of things
of which I know not.
Only a g33k
can gawk, unzip, and tty fsck
Without a girl thinking him
a total schmuck.
When a geek eyes my < body >
or considers my < form >
Offended I’m not,
just tingly and warm.
You’ve opened my eyes
and shown me something new,
For only in our world
do 1 and 0 make 2.
But here comes the question,
the most difficult part,
are you 2 1337 4 me?
Perhaps, but I’ll give you my <3.
My point is just that
When all is said and done,
It’s with a geek that I’ll make
my 127 dot 0 dot 0 dot 1.
</ode> | |

Posted: 2/24/2007 5:25:20 AM | Many thanks for the poem...
it's "epic"!
But this new Trek film of which you speak... please, please, PLEASE tell me that it will not wear the foetid stench of any type of involvement by Trek's Bane... COUGH( Brannon Braga )!!! If so, then I will while away the hours by watching my remastered Classic episodes with the new CGI effects. Or maybe invite someone over to watch the whole Season 1 box set of Rome.
BTW...
Am I the only one who thinks that Gaius Baltar is actually just a longer haired, more angst ridden clone of Dr. Julian Bashir? | |
|
| Where are the geeky girls?
Posted: 2/24/2007 5:53:29 AM | I'm deliriously happy to tell you that neither Brannon or his partner in crime Rick Berman will come any closer than just buying tickets to see the movie at the Cineplex. Brannon's only real claim to fame was that he got into Jeri Ryan's catsuit anyway. This movie is a TOS prequel of Kirk and Spock from Academy through USS Farragut and possibly onto the first mission Enterprise, and it is entirely being put together by the Mission Impossible 3 creative team with a couple of guys from Abrams' TV show, Lost.
Have you seen the remastered USS Constellation after she's ub3r pwnd (no non-Geek can translate that) by the Doomsday Machine? Some of the best damaged starship effects since... ever! The warp nacelles are fried, a big chunk of the saucer section is blown off... amazing! It's like... like... like... er... better than a Geek Orgasm!!! Or even TWO!
Gaius and Julian have exactly the same accent and body type. I also wondered why everyone on DS9 thought the Doctor so attractive. I think that there has to be something about the sex appeal of scrawny ferrets with Asian-British accents that I just don't get!
Now will you please sign my petition to have a special POF subgroup sanctioned? Plenty Of Geeks! POG would be a separate, welcoming, techy place for Geeks of all ages and sizes to meet, chat and compare avatar collections! | |

| Where are the geeky girls?
Posted: 2/24/2007 6:26:07 AM | RE: the Constellation? Ub3r Pwnage! With regards to getting into Jeri Ryan's catsuit? It's not at all challenging, from some accounts... and yes, I'll sign the petition, if I can score some free swag. Bumper stickers and fridge magnets are good, but t-shirts are better.
But I will challenge the Baltar/Bashir topic for a second... Alexander Siddig is actually a fairly decent actor. He was very good in Syriana and a bit better in Kingdom Of Heaven... but that's just my 2 cents. | |

Clearly, you've not spent any time with goths. There's maybe 2 within the entire movement that aren't total and complete geeks. Especially since we tend towards techie fields, attend every con there is and are the entirety of Voltaire's audience.
Proof of Voltaire's geekyness...
The U.S.S. Make Sh!t Up Lyrics
I was stranded on a planet, Just me and Spock
We met a nasty nazi alien who locked our *sses up
We found a hunk of crystal and a metal piece of bed
We made a laser phaser gun and shot him in the head
Bust a move, Tog
I was standing on the bridge when Sulu came to me
His eyes were full of tears he said ;Captain, can't you see
the ship is gonna blow do something I beseech;
I grabbed a tribble and some chewing gum and stopped the warp core breach
And I say,
Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish
Thats the way we do things, lad, we're making sh!t up as we wish
The Klingons and the Romulans pose no threat to us
'Cause if we find we're in a bind we just make some sh!t up
And though he's just a child, and some think him a twit
Wesley is the master when it comes to making up some sh!t
He's the guy you want with you when you go out in space
Now if only he could beam those pimples off his face
And if you're at a party on the starship Enterprise
And the karaoke player just plain old up and dies
Set up a neutrino field inside a can of peas
Hold on to Geordi's visor and sing into Data's knee
And I say
Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish
Thats the way we do things lad, we're making sh!t up as we wish
The Klingons and the Romulans pose no threat to us
'Cause if we find we're in a bind we just make some sh!t up
Sisko's on a mission to go no bloody place
He loiters on a space station above Bajoran space
The wormhole's opened up and now they come from near and far
We'll keep the booze but please send back the ****ing Jem-hadar
What is with the Klingons, remember in the day
They looked like Puerto Ricans and they dressed in gold lame
Now they look like heavy metal rockers from the dead
With leather pants and frizzy hair and lobsters on their heads
And I say
Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish
Thats the way we do things lad, we're making shit up as we wish
The Klingons and the Romulans pose no threat to us
'Cause if we find we're in a bind we just make some sh!t up
Well, I was stuck on Voyager, pounding on the door
When suddenly it dawned on me I've seen this show before
Perhaps I'm in a warp bubble and slightly out of phase
'Cause it was way back in the sixties when they called it Lost in Space;
We were looking for a way to make the ratings soar
So we orchestrated an encounter with the Borg
Normally you'd think that that would get us into sh!t
But this one has a smashing *ss and a lovely set of t!ts
And I say
Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish
Thats the way we do things lad, we're making sh!t up as we wish
The Klingons and the Romulans pose no threat to us
'Cause if we find we're in a bind we're totally screwed but never mind
We'll pull something out of our behinds, we just make some sh!t up
I rest my case.  | |

Posted: 2/24/2007 7:48:21 PM | Bashir and Baltar:
Bashir is hot! I love seeing and hearing him when I watch a DS9 episode.
As for Baltar, he may have the same accent and body type, but he definitely does not have the sex appeal of Dr. Bashir! Baltar is scruffy and looks dirty half the time, while Bashir is dashing and sexy. Dr. Bashir definitely turns my jets! | |

I'm pretty happy with that. I would have scored much higher, but I don't attend Cons or Role Play. I prefer to do normal things...
It might just be me, but I think only the Geek wannabes drink Jolt. Real geeks are creatures of the night by their very nature.
As for Barcelona vs. Penryn. I hope that Barcelona can narrow the gap, but I don't really care. The important thing is NetBurst is a dead and distant memory; the geek inside me will continue to rejoice for a long time to come. My nostalgia for Tualatin chips came to a close with the addition of a fine Conroe.
Anyway, geeky girls are awesome, it'd be great to actually meet some. I suppose I need to look harder. | |

Just because the interior of Jeri's catsuit isn't exclusive property, doesn't mean that I would throw her out of bed for sawing off my arm and attaching a Borg implant.
I'm all for printing up Plenty Of Geeks T-shirts. The girls could wear one that says:
I can turn any floppy drive into a hard drive.
The guys can have:
I wanna RAM your PCI slot.
Now onto the significant aspects of Baltar/Bashir. I agree fully that Siddig may be a far better actor than Callis, and I think it interesting that they both play hyper-intelligent "artificially augmented" characters. However, I'm referring to the sex appeal of these actors and their characters. I think that from a physical standpoint they are the antithesis of what I would think appeals to women, but I guess I be wrong. Whenever Siddig or Callis show up on the screen they are usually being chased around by fawning supermodels. I just don't understand that. But then again, I don't understand why the standard of beauty for young females has to be advanced anorexia to the point of amenorrhea.

We are not worthy. You pwn. I hereby award you the Uberlady of the Year award. You have just proven that Goths Rule! I'm such an ungoth loser that I thought you were referring to Francois-Marie Arouet instead of the Cuban musician. I bare my neck to you!
To designingwoman
So... Bashir is hot, huh? And what am I, chopped qagh?
Va! That's it! I take back my dedication of my death in glorious battle against the Romulan petaQ to you. Somewhere out there, there is a Klingon princess who is worthy of eating from the heart of the targ with me. You're just interested in Bashir because you want to see if that "genetic enhancement" applies to his Qa'Hom! 
To jeffin
Way to go, dude. Great score. Keep up the good Geek work!
Hector has just pushed K10 into Q1 08 at least, while Penryn was taped out about three months ago. This may be the edge of the precipice for AMD. By the time they get out their first maxed-out 2.5Ghz CPU, Intel's 45nm chips will be wiping the floor with them. I'm just waiting for an announcement of a dual socket 775 mobo. I'll go 771 if I have to but the extra cost of the FB-DIMMs is a pain as I'm going for 8GB and preferably 16GB.
And as for awesome geeky girls, you resemble Alexander Siddig enough. IM designingwoman. But beware... she'll do to you what she did to me... draw you in and then break your heart... sob... sigh... bwaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... | |

Well, I bought my mister a t-shirt for Christmas that said "I'm thinking nerdy thoughts".
I personally would love one that says "Talk Nerdy to Me".

Well, I don't know that I'm your standard-issue women (I'm a wee bit on weird side, No, really!) but I kinda dig teh scrawny fellers (points to user-pic). It's really more about the size of the brain than anything though. Mmmm, brains........
Sidenote: My English brother-in-law is friends with Alexander Siddig and says he's a very nice and interesting guy.
Additional Sidenote which sorta-kinda applies to this subject: The first time I met my brother-in-law was at Norwescon. He was dressed as a Borg and the costume was dead-on.
All of the women in my family (including my 20 year old daughter) are in love with/married to geek boys. I guess it runs in the family; true that women pick men that are like their dads. My father is a old-school geek guy from back in the day....

Now, see I'd be tempted to munch down on that yummy neck of yours but:
A) I'm one neck kinda woman so no eating out and
B) Alas, I am not a goth of the Hand. Staple. Forehead variety. I don't do the "swoony, tears of woe, writing bad poetry with my own blood at the cemetery" thing very well. I suspect they will revoke my Hawt Deth Chixx card any day now. Boo.
P.S. The "All your Bases" poem caused a LOLacaust. I hadn't seen that in ages.
P.P.S. For further proof of the Goth/Geek connection see the CombiChrist song: All your Bass Are Belong to Us". | |

Applebee's? Their Rokeg Blood Pie might as well be made from squeezed Tribble! And their watered-down blood wine is served in tiny glasses instead of vats. How can warriors drink like a Gideon lemming?

I'm with ya, bro. Every night I go to bed and say a prayer that the next day will bring me a Geek Goddess sitting nude on a mound of DX10 RPGs. And every morning, I wake disappointed... Where are the Geek Goddesses? Come to me, lovely AMD Aphrodite, Vista Venus, Crysis Cytherea, Broadband Basilis, K10 Kallipygos, Dualcore Despina, Halflife Hetaira, Photoshop Porne!

Damn! You can cast spells? Remind me not to get you mad at me! Especially since you read psych! That way you can get me to regress and cast a spell to keep me there! Enjoy SC3K! It's got a pretty steep learning curve, but soon you'll be getting road and rail tunnels under water and filling every one of your airport squares!
To gothygeek
Now that you admitted that you are less than six degrees away from Siddig, I'm sure that you will be getting IM'd by half the Trekkie chix in the Alpha Quadrant asking if you can hook them up with him. I can certainly respect your commitment to mononecky. You are a testament to all that is greatest in both Goth and Geek. And your bro in law is a Borg too! I can only repeat myself. You pwn.
