| 104803 | 2002-12-10 20:48:00 | Hey Well if the linux.geek.nz domain was any good (infact just www.linux.geek.nz would be good) and it was WAY better organised than all the other crappy linux websites out there, then I would have no Problem visiting them and looking for help instead of annoying you people on PF1 - :D CyberChuck |

| 104804 | 2002-12-10 21:19:00 | linux.geek.nz (all lower case please) would be a subdomain of geek.nz, and whoever gets in first, once the first battle is won...... Appparently "iwi.nz" took forever to battle for,(i'll find out) Domainz after all ARE beauricrats, but i can see some wonderful domains out there like chris.geek.nz or clueless.geek.nz, a Linux site for those as new to Linux as i I could go on forever.. I want it to raise the standards of .nz for the world (think EXPORT potentual here) .Clueless |

| 104806 | 2002-12-10 23:24:00 | Yes, it is kind of fun, but I am not sure I would use a geek.nz address for email. Might be fun for a web site. football.geek.nz perhaps. robo. |

| 104807 | 2002-12-10 23:45:00 | Derivation: Originally, a `geek' was a carnival performer who bit the heads off chickens. (In early 20th-century Scotland a `geek' was an immature coley, a type of fish.) Before about 1990 usage of this term was rather negative. Earlier versions of this lexicon defined a `computer geek' as one who eats (computer) bugs for a living - an asocial, malodorous, pasty-faced monomaniac with all the personality of a cheese grater. This is often still the way geeks are regarded by non-geeks, but as the mainstream culture becomes more dependent on technology and technical skill mainstream attitudes have tended to shift towards grudging respect. Correspondingly, there are now `geek pride' festivals (the implied reference to `gay pride' is not accidental). |

| 104808 | 2002-12-10 23:55:00 | Geek Pride? Awesome idea. So we need the equivalent of a Hero Parade. Um: Bill Parade? Mardi Geek? grep Geek /etc/passwd > ./cool_people? robo. |
