[GeorgeTuk]

Lets start with Georgetuks signature, currently my favourite signature on the forum.

The Stealth Geek - A kind of geek that is becoming more and more common in todays society. 2-3 years ago, anyone with a PDA was an uber geek, but now if your phone isnt a PDA, MP3 player or Skype compatible, you just aren't in the game. The stealth geek however, while having a combination of the above, will actually use all features and even configure parts of them to suit their own needs!

Wow! Thanks mate!

[Dareos]

we had a conversation about it at the Glasgow meet mate, classic sig

and its all tongue in cheek folks, remember your bible :-

The Geek shall inherit the earth

[tiggerai]

We did indeed!

There were many a random conversation being had in Glasgow. I think the randomness went up with my alcohol consumption... Apologies all!

[G4Z]

and on another note I'm a ninja
Personally I believe that it's societys fault and those blasted womens magazines for coming up with names for groups like WAGS, Digital Nomads and such forth and now this has snowballed to cover nearly every area and genre you can imagine.

What the hell is a 'Digital Nomad', a geek who moves house a lot?

Supah Gonad.

[tiggerai]

Girly geek - Minority of the Geek genus who does know how to build a PC, Overclock and Mod a Chassis but will persuade a Male geek to do it for her because its fun to watch. Is able to code and talk geek talk, but struggles with any other electronic equipment, esp hifis and AV stuff.
Also is not presented as a geek, has no outwardly visible geek characteristics. But look in her bag and you'll find a small screwdriver, tweezers and nail polish remover. All very important items for the average PC build. There also may be 2 sticks of RAm in there and the specs to the next upgrade.


I'm not like that at all. oh no!

throw( new Exception e )

am i the only one in a geek thread who is disapointed by that?

Either its my language ignorance, but that just dosen't make sense.

if its a prototype, then the new keyword makes no sense. If its an invokation, then the e should surely be ()?

honestly the standard of geek threads these days!

Digital Nomads you see them everyday if you work in city centres

These are the folks that move from coffee shop to office and back again and can generally be found at starbucks slurping their latte's while connected to the wireless with their laptops doing work.
