Well, I'm not sure whether you should admit it or ask for a second opinion, but you should at least say "Avast, ye matey, I be a pirate nerd! YAARRGHH!"

This thread is for pirate nerds, not normal nerds. (Well, blow me down! This forum don't have no pirate smilies!)

 

[Evo]

When I took the test (last year when it was first posted) I made either 42 or 47%, I was a "major geek".

Seriously, i was into heavy metal (still into it now) before I got into physics. And of course, I know nuts about computers, and really can't be arsed to learn anything about them. I use XP and have not updated it for eons, that says alot, i guess.

Yeah it says that you've been doing the computer equivalent of having sex without a condom in a third world country with AIDS rates of greater than 50%.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out someone has completel access to your system by now.

A recent study showed that within an hour a system running XP SP1 was completely runnning under remote control and was being used to attack other systems, and had been subjected to over 4,000 separate attacks, and stopped almost none of them. All in a single hour of being online.

Yarrgh! But not for good!

We merely be 'trollin' the high seas in search of Bounty (It's the quicker picker-upper, you know). Alas, we only found Scott paper towels - cheap millionaires they be that stock their galleys with Scott instead of Bounty! Yarrgh, we sent those misers to Davy Jone's Locker!

Yes. Not really...I don't care. LOL. Yea, I love chemistry and math and listen to southern gangsta rap...I don't think I'm a nerd.

 

[Danger]

I don't have time to take the test or even read past the first couple of pages in here. Will do so when I get home from work. Meanwhile, I submit that the term 'nerd' was invented by the writers of the 'Happy Days' show because you weren't allowed to say 's**t-head' on TV. (Nor here, apparently. ) At least, I certainly never heard it before that. Anyone else?

 

[russ_watters]

Are you a nerd?

I bought a http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4660&item=7502077595&rd=1 just to play with it. You tell me.

Okay, I finally got to try the test.

Actually, that was just the top one on the list - I got a 40mm one (100w or so, iirc). I may use it to chill my beer: http://www.stud.ntnu.no/~arnesen/peltierbeer/

Or, perhaps, to cool a ccd camera for my telescope.

 

[Evo]

Yep, Russ is a nerd.

i am a nerd because:
most people, except other nerds, shun be because intellect is not cool
tom clancy books are now light reading for me (tom clancy books are often 5 inches thick or larger)
and i have very large thick glasses, have a pocket protector, and wear a pencil in my ear





(just kidding about the last part, i do have some self-respect)

We have a pretty nerdy TV set up going here. Due to the fact that we only have one spot to get the southern shot needed, the Direct TV antenna feeds parallel outputs several hundred feet to my office. From there, one signal is re-xmitted up to the house on five of the ten, 500 foot runs of twisted pairs of CAT5 connecting my office to the house. From there, the remote control is transmitted from the house down to my office to control the DTV receiver. I also have two phone lines, and now I want to network our computers. So, since I've used up all ten pairs, I need to put in another 500 run of CAT5. I really thought that ten pairs would do it, but I never saw the DTV thing coming. Of course we may not be here long enough to worry about it.

 

[Moonbear]

Yaaarh, me nerd pirate mateys, I be finding a new quiz for ye!

My pirate name is:
Captain Ethel Flint

Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

Get your pirate name http://www.fidius.org/quiz/pirate/

 

[JamesU]

Red James Kidd
Passion is a big part of your life, which makes sense for a pirate. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

Well, since my name is James

 

[Gale]

Your pirate name is:
Captain Anne Roberts
Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Two things complete your pirate persona: style and swagger. Maybe a little too much swagger sometimes -- but who really cares? Arr!

YARH! i be the real cap'n of this herre ship! arrrg mateys!

 

[Moonbear]

YARH! i be the real cap'n of this herre ship! arrrg mateys!

You still be havin' Cap'n Ethel Flint to look out for, yaaarrrh!

Rig the missen mast and hoist the mains'l! We be gettin' underway!

 

[Dawguard]

Captain Roger Cash
Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. You're musical, and you've got a certain style if not flair. You'll do just fine. Arr!

22.28797% Geek.

Definetly more of a pirate then a geek. Now surrender or die!

 

[BobG]

Dirty Tom Kidd
You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

Yarrgghh! Ye be bringin' the dead back out of Davey Jone's locker, eh! Mmmmm, smell's like 8.539722267357! Smell's like victory!

 

[Math Is Hard]

Avast me hearties! Pass a swig 'o rum to yer mate here, Miss Dirty Charity Flint. 'Tis a fittin' name for a wench if ever I did hear one!

 

[Dawguard]

We should form our own pirate fleet in conjunction with the PF sisterhood. Think of the leverage and power we could have!

[mattmns]

Your pirate name is: Bloody Sam Bonney
Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!

Arrrrrrr!

 

[Smasherman]

I'm not going to read this entire thread: no time.

I'm pretty sure I'm a geek or nerd because: a) Everyone thinks I'm smart, even if I try to send the opposite message. b) I'm very adept at computers. c) Grammar errors make me flinch (I'm joking.. mostly). d) I spend a lot of time creating mental constructs.

Also, looks matter a lot to people, just so you know. Almost everyone who sees me thinks I'm a stoner, even though I actually avoid all drugs and getting drunk. Stoners are usually mellow people to hang out with, though (as long as they're not [explicit deleted] who try and use peer pressure against me).

A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you're a tough person. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!

Wow, I was surprised during the test at my geekiness. Where's the pirate test?

I just tried to shoo a fly away from my monitor with the cursor. I think I'm beyond nerd tests now.

I don't think of myself as a nerd, but I asked my 15 year old daughter anyway. It turns out that I am a nerd.

I did that once, thinking that maybe the light difference would make it fly away
