You know you're a geek when...

[brax.j]

When you get a new e-mail because your friends give yours out so their can e-mail you for buying advice and troubleshooting.

 

[wywern209]

When you realize that you don't have a girlfriend/boyfriend and is sitting in the basement with ur eyes glued to the screen.

Expose. I try to use it all the time on pcs to show the desktop in one corner and another corner for show all windows. Drives me crazy when it doesn't work and I always forget why it isn't working for 1/2 a second.

lol I do this all the time when I am at school on there computers haha


You know your a geek when sit on your computer 60 hours straight coding. ( in which case frozen burrito's and coke are your friends

and as others have mentioned . I can't stand to see people being ripped off by a sales rep and then I proceed to interrupt them to get the costumer a better deal which usually leads to the store hating you lol

Yes the sales person at stores try to sell you extra things like warranties that you don't need. (like for a LCD [TV])

You get excited everytime you see a mac and tell everyone that it's a mac.

Yeah, I went to the movies with a girl couple of days ago and saw two Macs in it, and immediately pointed it out. She just laughed

You know you're a geek when you're 16 years old and run your own web design and hosting companies, on your own servers....

You Know You're A Geek when you saw someone had a site hosted on their own server and immediately DoSed it just for fun

(I do this to my school's servers all the time to contact the IT manager through TCP)

... at electronics/computer stores you eavesdrop on conversations to make sure customers are being told accurate and correct information.

I did this yesterday in Dick Smith, a customer was talking about having Norton and her computer running slow, I was temped to go over and start explaining to her about how crap Norton is, how to get AVG, CCleaner, RegSeeker etc...

Also, you know you're a geek when you run a authorisationless proxy server on your laptop for everyone with a piece of technology that can't use your school's SOCKS5 and HTTP authorisation for some odd reason (read: Cydia). And you know that the proxy is at 10.1.100.22:800.


When you F5 this thread at 11:40 PM.

It's a crappy picture, but here it is

Is that Unibody MB or White MB ?

You get excited everytime you see a mac and tell everyone that it's a mac.

oh my god. I do this to my family every time there is a Mac on a TV show (My parents watch a lot of HGTV- So there's a lot of Macs). [For the record, I had no Macs until last week when I got a free PowerMac G5]

My parents get super mad every time I point out a Mac .
They always think I'm a geek if I can tell that it's a Mac without looking at the actual hardware (OS-X) or without looking at the Apple Logo on the back.

The first thing you do in the morning is get out of bed and check MacRumors for any new posts.

Check!
Also check my RSS feeds to All the Rumor Sites. ....Especially macrumors!

My Mac is off limits for anyone to touch

Same here! Especaily when i first get a new one. and people know im paranoid and try and touch it and take it. so i end up hitting them or kicking them.

I take my iPod Touch into the bathroom for ultimate restroom reading, (I promise there won't be any "iPod in the Toilet" threads from me)
My iPod Touch can do anything...well almost, I love it!

Exact same thing here too! Apps are perfect to pass the time!

...When you Install Linux on ur iMac via boot camp.
...When u watch the spoilerfree keynotes.

When i walk into an Apple store I really really envy and want one of those shirts...
