Talking about fucking power outages... remember when we(east coast) had that fucking power outage it seemed like a year and it really was only like 30 hours. But my laptop ran outta batteries because i wasnt home untill like 4 hours after the power died. I almost died.

You know your a nerd when you dont wanna spend time with your friends.
 
Giving your email addy as the best possible way to reach you...even though you have a cell, work, and home phone.

I do this all of the time...
 
you know you are a nerd when you spend three days straight setting up your watercooling system, just to make sure you did it right.
 
You know you're a nerd when you closet is filled with older hardware including PSUS and empty mobo boxes.

You know you're a nerd when you spend more hours playing on the computer than you do sleeping.

You know you're a nerd when you're addicting to a 2D RPG.

You know you're a nerd when you met your girlfriend on AIM.

You know you're a nerd when you think of killing people in real life according to game weapons or combos.

The list goes on.

. . . you use ventrillo instead of calling them

. . . you have to talk to the non-techies in a translation

. . . you feel sick when ur computer gets a virus

. . . you carry your pocket pc around to be around a computer at all times

. . . your most interesting conversations are about computers
 
... when you're writing in pen and wish you could hit Backspace when you mess up.

... if you look to see if cash registers have W,A,S, and D.

... if you get in your car and wonder "wtf? where are the arrow keys?"
 
.. when you read [H] forums everyday and see a thread that makes you think about yourself o_O

Guilty as charged. It annoys me to no end when people do this....
 
You know you are a nerd when your roomate is less than 5 ft away, and instead of verbally communicating, you send him/her an IM.


When the basis of all conversations is computers. No matter if the topic is sex, you will find a way to slip the word "computer" into the conversation.



When you walk into a public place and the first thing that comes to your mind "man that is a great spot to camp".:)

! I noticed that the main power connector is fried on your 8KHA+

The same thing happened to mine. Is this common? Know what caused it?
 
You keep hearing things like the POST beep...

You hear the "go go go" cs sound...

You have a strong urge to setup F@H on every school computer and have them all feed into your account, because you believe the admins are complete moronic jackasses.
 
after awhile of c++ i starting putting code into my essays at school like cout;"i went to the store' and and sentences with semi colons and began and ended paragraphs with { those things.
 
you know your a nerd:


Salute our fallen soldier^^ He was a good man. He served well. Its sad to have to retire him :(

Depends, are you doing this in the privacy of your own home or in public? If the latter, I would say really strange.

i'm not as bad as a friend of mine though.. he talks as if he's on the computer.. he says things like "man these cheetos are uber".. and he responds to a joke by saying "lol".. and he's very very pale..

Nope, but a friend down the street had the exact same thing happen to him at the same time, different mobo, so I think there was a power surge or something.
