You know you're a nerd when...

**Eisenhower** · 08-04-2011, 07:36 PM

- You want to learn new math topics because it's fun
- You read non-fiction books and write arguments for or against what you read on online forums
- You participate on online forums and your post count is 1000+ (I've been well over 1000 posts on other forums)
- You get amusement from being pedantic about a persons grammar online
- Your night out consists of calling out to a nearby restaurant for pick up, having a glass of wine and getting on the computer to learn something new
- You are heavily engrossed in reading Wikipedia (+2 points if you write or edit articles)
- You buy old textbooks from Amazon/Ebay so you can learn new topics
- Your dialect with your friends include words such as, "Noob", "O'Rly", or "r-tard"

Now it's your guys' turn.

-You carry a USB with multiple OS's on it with you to school.
-Someone says the word 'computer' and you perk up.

**silicon212** · 08-04-2011, 07:54 PM

-You refer to the four flash drives on lanyards around your neck as 'geek bling'.

When you play SMB3 so many times that you have to take the grey cover off and try 20 different positions to get it to play...but you do it everytime anyway. *shakes head*

The only book you really, truly want to read is the dictionary. And you do read it, any chance you get.

-You have a cloud-type identification chart on your wall so you can learn to identify different cloud formations (I had one of these)

**PRBori** · 08-04-2011, 10:51 PM

- you build your own networks
- you play around with open source tools
- you purchase only educational items and brain teasers and consider everything else waste of time and money
- you rather be on the computer Geeking out instead of playing video games or watching non-sense TV shows
- you have VMware workstation to build servers within your desktop OS or have your own dedicated ESXi server for play time
- you emphasized your reading on literature specific to your career of choice

As a child, you find an article even the teacher said was boring interesting.
