Hmmm shall we decipher it??? found this nice decoder... comes back with the following: ------------------------------------------- GEEK TYPE CODE [GCS/M/CC] Geek of Computer Science, Geek of Math, Geek of Communications. GEEK DRESS CODE [d-] I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt. GEEK SHAPE CODE [s-:+] I look up to most people. I'm a little rounder than most. GEEK AGE CODE [a---] My age is 15-19. GEEK COMPUTERS CODE [C+++] You mean there is life outside of Internet? You're shittin' me! I haven't dragged myself to class in weeks. GEEK UNIX CODE [UL+] I use GNU/Linux exclusively. I not only have a unix account, but I slam VMS any chance I get. GEEK PERL CODE [P] I know Perl exists, but that's all. GEEK GNU/LINUX CODE [L++++] I am a GNU/Linux wizard. I munch C code for breakfast and have enough room left over for a kernel debugging. I have so many patches installed that I lost track about ten versions ago. GNU/Linux newbies consider me a net.god. GEEK EMACS CODE [E---] Emacs sucks! vi forever!!! GEEK WORLD WIDE WEB CODE [W++(--)] My tendencies on this issue range from: "I have a homepage. I surf daily. My homepage is advertised in my .signature.", to: "A pox on the Web! It wastes time and bandwidth and just gives the uneducated morons a reason to clutter the Internet." GEEK USENET CODE [N+++] I read so many news groups that the next batch of news comes in before I finish reading the last batch, and I have to read for about 2 hours straight before I'm caught up on the morning's news. Then there's the afternoon... GEEK USENET ORACLE CODE [o?] Usenet Oracle? I don't even know what that is... GEEK KIBO CODE [K?] Kibo? I don't even know what that is... GEEK MICROSOFT WINDOWS CODE [w(--)] My tendencies on this issue range from: "Ok, so I use MS Windows, I don't have to like it.", to: "MS Windows is a joke operating system. Hell, it's not even an operating system. NT is Not Tough enough for me either. 95 is how may times it will crash an hour." GEEK OS/2 CODE [O?] OS/2? I don't even know what that is... GEEK MACINTOSH CODE [M-(--)] My tendencies on this issue range from: "Macs suck. All real geeks have a character prompt.", to: "Macs do more than suck. They make a user stupid by allowing them to use the system without knowing what they are doing. Mac weenies have lower IQs than the fuzz in my navel." GEEK VMS CODE [V?] VMS? I don't even know what that is... GEEK POLITICS & SOCIAL ISSUES CODE [PS+(---)] My tendencies on this issue range from: "My whole concept of liberalism is that nobody has the right to tell anybody else what to do, on either side of the political fence. If you don't like it, turn the bloody channel.", to: "Repent left-wing sinners and change your wicked evil ways. Buchanan/Robertson in '96." GEEK POLITICS & ECONOMIC ISSUES CODE [PE(++)] My tendencies on this issue range from: "Distrust both government and business.", to: "Keep the government off the backs of businesses. Deregulate as much as possible." GEEK CYPHERPUNKS CODE [Y+] I have an interest and concern in privacy issues, but in reality I am not really all that active or vocal. GEEK PGP CODE [PGP-] I don't have anything to hide. GEEK STAR TREK CODE [t+] It's a damn fine TV show and is one of the only things good on television any more. GEEK BABYLON 5 CODE [5?] Babylon 5? I don't even know what that is... GEEK X FILES CODE [X+] I've Converted my family and watch the show when I remember. It's really kinda fun. GEEK ROLE-PLAYING CODE [R] Role-Playing? That's just something to do to kill a Saturday afternoon. GEEK TELEVISION CODE [tv] I watch only the shows that are actually worthwhile, such as those found on PBS. GEEK BOOKS CODE [b+] I enjoy reading, but don't get the time very often. GEEK DILBERT CODE [DI+] I read Dilbert daily, often understanding it. GEEK DOOM CODE [D+(---)] My tendencies on this issue range from: "It's a fun, action game that is a nice diversion on a lazy afternoon.", to: "To hell with Doom, I miss Zork." THE GEEK CODE [G] I know what the geek code is and even did up this code. GEEK EDUCATION CODE [e] Finished High School. GEEK HOUSING CODE [h!] I am stuck living with my parents! GEEK RELATIONSHIPS CODE [r--] People just aren't interested in dating me. GEEK SEX CODE [z--] Gender undisclosed. Not having sex because I just can't get any... ------------------------------------------- That decoder takes all the fun out of it... :( -- COMPUTER POWER TO THE PEOPLE! DOWN WITH CYBERCRUD!
