Title: Geek Rites Of Passage
Post by: Niteowl on December 08, 2003, 11:25:19 AM: it would seem to me i encounter more and more geeks on IRC who have not gone through some of the Geeks Rites of Passage i assume anyone who is geeky enough to BE on IRC would have experienced.

it's a set, if you will, of media consumed, acts taken, whatnot, that sorta define you as a geek. now, i've seen the geek quiz, and admittedly, some of that is pretty hardcore (like programming in Assembly). so here is my list of things geeks should have at least heard of, ideally, have done :D add what you think is missing.

actually, this is mostly just media :)

-LOTR, the books
-LOTR, the movies, thus far
-Star Wars, pre-Jar jar
-LOTR animated series
-Robotech
-enjoy logic puzzles/programming/puzzles
-have played D&D at LEAST once
-think the term "windows 3.11 tiled windows rox" is kinda funny
-Battlestar Galactica
-Dr. Who
-Monty Python
-HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy
-Isaac Asimov
-StarBlazers
-know who JRR Tolkien, Terry Brooks, and Robert Jordan
-Forgotten Realms
-The Gunslinger Series by Stephen King
-Dune, the books
-Dune, the movies
-WarHammer
-Red Dwarf
-Rowan Atkinson and all his silliness
-has a doomed/cancelled/ended SciFi series (Firefly, Babylon5, Space Above and Beyond, FarScape)
-attributes "Revenge is a dish best served cold" to the Klingons
-knows how effective a two fisted punch is
-secretly wishes (s)he contributed/contributes to the linux kernal
-if not a coder, wishes (s)he knew how to

err, i'm sure i'm missing something here help me out :D

Shame on those who don't understand Timmy, Johnny, and Spike.

http://www.stephenking.com/DarkTower/index2.html (http://www.stephenking.com/DarkTower/index2.html)

a fantasy, dystopian, western, etc etc fiction epic from Stephen King. his most involved work. he's been working on the series off and on since he started writing.

Post by: Dubbilex on December 09, 2003, 02:08:16 PM: Well, I've never compiled my own kernel. Damn.

*hangs head*
Title: Geek Rites Of Passage
Post by: Jefe on December 09, 2003, 02:23:24 PM: *hangs head also*

I don't know what a kernel is...
Title: Geek Rites Of Passage
Post by: Niteowl on December 09, 2003, 09:44:31 PM: kernel is (someone refine, correct me on this) the core code that an OS runs on. sometimes uber super duper REAL geeks will hack (taht is, add stuff, create more features for) the kernel and recompile.

basically think of it as modding and or customizing yer own PC. i think i read a thread in server admins about ppl tweaking their particular linux kernel to run NS better.. how INSANE is that :D

Only as insane as wanting to be able to run 2 servers on a given machine where you could have run 1.

That said, I can't think of much that you could tweak to get NS to run better... Though perhaps some of the memory access stuff would do it.

I reconfigured the kernel in my personal machine to take out all the crap I didn't want/need and add dual-proc support. It runs really smooth now that it doesn't load scsi board drivers by default. Heh.

Edit: Here (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/daily/mr11)'s a quiz designed to determine which of the three you are. Post your results, I'd like to see what kind of Magic players we have out there. Me: "Your Type Is: Johnny / Spike"

Maybe I should just guess, or something?
Title: Geek Rites Of Passage
Post by: lolfighter on December 10, 2003, 05:24:12 AM: I stopped playing magic about six years ago or so, so I didn't know a single one of those cards. Couldn't take the test. :)

j00 sir, are an uber geek!!
Title: Geek Rites Of Passage
Post by: Dirty Harry Potter on December 11, 2003, 09:34:48 AM: i apply to a good bunch of those, being a PC and RPG geek, about PC i know a little about a lot, but RPGs i know quite a lot about. and i say that D&D isnt all that geeky - at least not compared to other RPGs like: Shadowrun, old-school Warhammer Fantasy roleplaying or some other RPG i've played or heard about XD.

i've read HGttG and some of the Hobbit(it got too boring after a while, i was 14 or so) also seen the half movie of it, made by a group of Media student iirc.
Seen the first hour of Dune, played the Games, and seen the book at the libary.

And who haven't heard of Monty Python :D

Being eccentric and/or strange is definetly a geek trait.
Title: Geek Rites Of Passage
Post by: Grimm on December 11, 2003, 04:28:59 PM: Would being gleefully sadistic be a geek thing, or just an evil thing?
Title: Geek Rites Of Passage
Post by: esuna on December 12, 2003, 04:01:57 AM: I'd just like to add a few rites which i feel are pretty important...

- Terry Pratchett books
- Going to clubs or pubs and spending your entire duration there discussing computer hardware
- Knowing how to strip down and rebuild a machine in 20 minutes flat (or less)
- Having more cables in your house than your average office workspace

Just one or two things i find that you're just not a geek if you don't have / don't do. :D

Post by: Gunner2k on December 16, 2003, 02:51:43 PM: Ahha! Here it is, the all to good geektest I was looking for! ^^
http://www.thegodanubis.net/geektest/ (http://www.thegodanubis.net/geektest/). I got 12 Questions right :lol: I'm a Delta Geek, Which is pretty low since there's 48 Questions on the test.
My response was: You are a Delta Geek
- The lowliest geek in the geek pecking order. You use a PC, but you do not use a PC. When your cursor moves across your screen, you flinch like a frightened rabbit because you do not know what is happening. Your suspicions are correct: It IS a funny little arrow, and it IS trying to kill you.

What did you guys get? ^^
Title: Geek Rites Of Passage
Post by: Malevolent on December 16, 2003, 03:34:11 PM: Woohoo, I got 17, but I still failed. Some of those questions are hard. I don't think that many could get a prefect score.

The title I got was:

You are a Gamma Geek
- not the lowliest dog feasting on the sinew of gutted testing systems, but certainly not as digitaly dominant as the Alpha Geek. Still, you do know your way around a PC with some level of competency. Good enough for government work, indeed.

Title: Geek Rites Of Passage
Post by: GrayDuck on August 12, 2004, 11:19:28 AM: Let me make this clear. I am not a geek! You guys/gals live in a whole different world than me! I have never and am still not a Geek. I play video games because my co-workers made me, I hang out on LM because they got me hooked and changed games up on me. I IRC because I get bored at work. I like LOTR because that’s ALL my co-workers talked about for so long that I had no choice but to watch and like it. I own a couple sets of the star wars movies because my husband used to be a fanatic. All the evidence you have that points towards me being a geek is circumstantial, you can’t prove anything!!!

Oh – for the record I scored an 18 on that test. I think most of my right answers were good guesses. I was, however, pissed that the one question that I KNEW the answer to right away didn’t have the correct answer listed:

47. How do you minimize all windows?
A Alt+Tab
B Ctrl+W
C Alt+F4
D Windows Key+M

Come on test-maker, the true answer is Windows Key + D HELLO MCFLY!

So in closing… I’m not a geek.
Title: Geek Rites Of Passage
Post by: BobTheJanitor on August 12, 2004, 01:32:01 PM: Well, win+m works as well, and is technically the correct answer to 'how do you minimize all windows'. It's just that win+d is the way an intelligent person does it, because the d is closer to your left hand (and who uses the right hand win key, these days? I mean REALLY?) and because it allows you to keep repeating the key combo to minimize and then reopen the windows as much as you want.
