Are you a nerd?

Am I the only person who wonders whether Linux sytems come with their own security blankets?

eris: Yes. And I think you just lost more points off of the nerd test.

Mac vs Pcs: As someone who knows, owns, and works with both, I shake my head at the endless debate. It's like arguing whether Star Wars or Star Trek is the better sci-fi. It could go on forever.

Both systems have their advantages, both have their cons. I find it amusing how both camps refuse to learn the other. My company gets a lot of Apple business just because in-house IT departments refuse to learn it. And vice-versa. They're not as different as they seem.

I will also say that Mac's OS X is a gorgeous operating system (and soooooo stable), but I still prefer the way things are done in Windows. I will will probably always be a PC user, but I like Macs a lot, too. In fact, the new G5's have me drooling. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

So, was that too much of a ramble on nerdy things?

So Linux would be like the Babylon 5 of computer systems?

Hey, I beat the President at something. *does the beating the President dance*

See?! Brandiflakes prefers PCs! I rest my case!

And just for the record (and 'cus it was mentioned) I think that Star Trek was much better Sci Fi than Star Wars. Star Wars was better action adventure.

How many "nerdy" topics can we (we talented people) come up with do you think?

Enough to fill a barrel, anyway...

dwim! You are the man! I bow to your nerdiness, and secretly rejoice that I am not the nerdiest anymore.

I wonder if dwim keeps a journal like the Secret Diaries. "Still the nerdiest." Heh. Sorry. I'm so bored, and easily amused.
