QFT....I mean ***!

481428 2006-08-30 21:05:00 Ok. So let's say I am a study-mad person, does this mean that the books are loaded with geek factor?

Cheers :)

Not if you were say studying Art or something. But possibly if you were staudying hacking.

481429 2006-08-30 21:52:00 My interpretation of geek factor is some geekish object that you have that other geeks admire, are envious of and desire. The ultimate geek factor would be something that no geek can be seen without. :cool: FoxyMX (5)
481430 2006-08-31 00:32:00 I feel pretty geeky for having 15 CD wallets, 2 printers, 2 computers and a spare mouse :o trinsic (6945)

481432 2006-08-31 01:03:00 How about this: there is 3 people in our house & we have 5+ computers :D stu161204 (123)
481433 2006-08-31 01:21:00 I think it's the excitement about numbers is one of the defining things of a pc geek.

My brother always laughs at me when I sit down and try and tweak another 10fps out of a game and stuff like that. Or when I get excited about a new product. He says I am addicted to higher numbers. (Not quite right, because I would rather have a 1.8ghz conroe than a 3ghz p4)

Personally, I think a geek can be anyone who devotes a large amount of interest into a particular area, so much that they can appear rather obsessed and addicted to the non-geeks of that area. So therefore you can have music geeks, maths geeks, pc geeks, whatever.

But computer geeks are the most special :)

Oh? Why not? :confused:

Amen. :D

BTW this thread is supposed to be about geek factors, not geeks. :rolleyes:

481436 2006-08-31 02:12:00 You are 7% geek
OK, so maybe you ain't a geek. You do, at least, show a bit of interest in the world around you. Either that, or you have enough of a sense of humor to pick some of the sillier answers on the test. Regardless, you're probably a pretty nifty, well-rounded person who gets along fine with people and can chat with just about anyone without fear of looking stupid or foolish or overly concerned with minutiae. God, I hate you.
