Edit: I definately think that site is geared more towards people 26+. I mean, When it said "Have you built your own computer" I answered yes because one of my first PCs was an 8086 Heath/Zenith kit that came with an etched board, a bag of parts a cross referrence and I had to solder bits to the board. Took me a week to build, and cost about as much as a car.

When it said "Built a Network" again, I paired serial cables on a rack of 27 toshiba 486 laptops and wrote the PERL to plug equations into and let them fry trying to figure them out. Then UNIX came into play and SETI sent me one of their first scripts to try on my 27 processor distributed process. I called it "The Matrix" 2 years before the Matrix came out.
 
No, it was the exact same one, there was another with some different, shit, but this one has been posted.

is there a fine line between geeks and nerds............???


I thought nerds were smart, and geeks are just nerd wannabe's?

'Nerd' is kinda like our 'N' word...

It's ok when your fellow people call you one, but it's a huge insult when someone else does. :)
