| 25335 | 2001-11-24 10:17:00 | Well, as Rob's now got your attention, I need some advice from all you regulars... My wife and I are having a baby, and some friends of my parents found out, so they gave us a card, and a cheque for $200... now I wanna know what I should spend it on. I've been thinking about XP Pro (upgrade... can't afford to put extra towards it) or perhaps a new CD writer... any suggestions? |

| 25343 | 2001-11-26 05:36:00 | Definition of geek from whatis.com:geek In computers and the Internet, a geek is a person who is inordinately dedicated to and involved with technology to the point of sometimes not appearing to be normal. Being a geek also implies a capability with the technology. Although historically, computer and Internet programming and hacking has been a male thing, there are now many 'girl geeks.' The term 'hacker' generally connotes competence more strongly than 'geek' does. The term 'geek' emphasizes dedication and weirdness, although recent use of the term suggests greater social acceptance and tolerance for geeks. (Historically, a geek was a circus person whose role in the side-show was to bite off chicken's heads or perform other bizarre feats. Eric Raymond describes 'computer geek' as 'one who eats (computer) bugs for a living.') The term seems to be used by many in the general populace for anyone who spends a lot of or too much time at a computer. (Memory Add: Don't show this to my kids!) |
