To this end, your age becomes an important part of your geekiness. Use the qualifiers below to show your age (in Terran years).

Shape code is divided into two parts delimited by a colon, the first indicating height, and the second indicates roundness, thus d+++:+++ indicates extreme height and extreme rotundity. - -d+++:+++ -I usually have to duck through doors/I take up three movie seats. -d++:++ -I’m a basketball/linebacker candidate. -d+:+ -I’m a little taller/rounder than most. -d: -I’m an average geek -d-:- -I look up to most people.

Unfortunately, they are all dead, having lived in an era of no computers. All modern geeks have some exposure to computers. If you don’t know what a computer is, you need to go back into your shell. Computers Most geeks identify themselves by their use of computers and computer networks. In order to quantify your geekiness level on computers, consult the following (consider the term ‘computers’ synonymous with ‘computer network’). This category represents “general” computer aptitude. Categories below will get into specifics. -C++++ -I’ll be first in line to get the new cybernetic interface installed into my skull. -C+++ -You mean there is life outside of Internet? You’re shittin’ me! I haven’t dragged myself to class in weeks. -C++ -Computers are a large part of my existence. When I get up in the morning, the first thing I do is log myself in. I play games or mud on weekends, but still manage to stay off of academic probation. -C+ -Computers are fun and I enjoy using them. I play a mean game of DOOM! and can use a word processor without resorting to the manual too often. I know that a 3.5″ disk is not a hard disk. I also know that when it says ‘press any key to continue’, I don’t have to look for a key labeled ‘ANY’. -C -Computers are a tool, nothing more. I use it when it serves my purpose. -C- -Anything more complicated than my calculator and I’m screwed. -C– -Where’s the on switch? -C— -If you even mention computers, I will rip your head off! - -U – UNIX +``` +C++++ I’ll be first in line to get the new cybernetic interface installed into my skull. +C+++ You mean there is life outside of Internet?

In addition to telling us about your Unix abilities, you can also show which specific Unix OS you are using. To accomplish this, you include a letter showing the brand with your rating. For example: UL++++ would indicate a sysadmin running Linux.

If you try and crack my machine don’t be surprised if the municipal works department gets an “accidental” computer-generated order to put start a new landfill on your front lawn or your quota is reduced to 4K. -U+++ -I don’t need to crack /etc/passwd because I just modified su so that it doesn’t prompt me. The admin staff doesn’t know I’m here. -U++ -I’ve get the entire admin ticked off at me because I am always using all of the CPU time and trying to run programs that I don’t have access to. -U+ -I enjoy shell scripting and understand the fundamental importance of the difference between ‘ and ` -U -I have a Unix account to do my stuff in -U- -I have a VMS account. -U– -I’ve seen Unix and didn’t like it.

In v4 you can list a series of languages and your opinions/stance thereupon, for example Lp++/R+ would indicate high proficiency in python and above average knowledge of R.
