Are you a Geek ?
Ok, prove it then.
Segundo Robert Hayden, o autor do Geek Code, os Geeks e o 'Geekism' fazem hoje parte da Internet tal como a conhecemos. Aliás, não seriam os inventores da Internet eles próprios uns Geeks de todo o tamanho? Claro que sim. O Linus Torvalds é um Geek God (talvez dos maiores).
Mas há Geeks em todas as áreas, nas Artes, na Música, na Política (O Álvaro Cunhal também é/foi um enorme Geek, ou um Geekossauro, talvez...).
O Geek Code é uma espécie de 'Dress Code' para Geeks. Identifica-os, explica alguma coisa sobre os comportamentos normais de um Geek, entre outras coisas.
Um excerto do que poderá ler no site:
'A good many geeks suffer through the use of various versions of Microsoft's Windows running on or as a replacement for DOS. Rate your Windows Geekiness.
w+++++ : I am Bill Gates
w++++ : I have Windows, Windows 95, Windows NT, and Windows NT Advanced Server all running on my SMP RISC machine. I haven't seen daylight in six months.
w+++ : I am a MS Windows programming god. I wrote a VxD driver to allow MS Windows and DOS to share the use of my waffle iron. P.S. Unix sux.
w++ : I write MS Windows programs in C and think about using C++ someday. I've written at least one DLL.
w+ : I have installed my own custom sounds, wallpaper, and screen savers so my PC walks and talks like a fun house. Oh yeah, I have a hundred TrueType(tm) fonts that I've installed but never used. I never lose Minesweeper and Solitaire.
w : Ok, so I use MS Windows, I don't have to like it.
w- : I'm still trying to install MS Windows and have at least one peripheral that never works right.
w-- : MS Windows is a joke operating system. Hell, it's not even an operating system. NT is Not Tough enough for me either. 95 is how may times it will crash an hour.
w--- : Windows has set back the computing industry by at least 10 years. Bill Gates should be drawn, quartered, hung, shot, poisoned, disembowelled, and then REALLY hurt.'
