The geek code consists of several categories. Each category is labeled
with a letter and some qualifiers. Go through each category and determine
which set of qualifiers best describes you in that category. By selecting
the right qualifiers and submitting this form, you are able to construct
your overall geek code. It is this single line of code that will inform
other geeks the world over of what a great geek you actually are.
<p>
Some of the qualifiers will very probably not match with you exactly. It
is impossible to cover all possibilities in each category. Simply choose
that qualifier that <b>most closely</b> matches you. Also, some activities
described in a specific qualifier you may not engage in, while you do
engage in others. Each description of each qualifier describes the wide
range of activities that apply, so as long as you match with one, you can
probably use that qualifier.

<center><h2>Variables</h2></center>
<hr width="80%" size="3">
<hr size="5">
<p>
Geeks can seldom be strictly quantified. To facilitate the fact that
within any one category the geek may not be able determine a specific
rating, variables have been designed to allow this range to be included.
</p><p>
</p><hr>
<p>
In each category, there will be four buttons right after the category
description. Each is described here.
</p><dl>
<dt>@
</dt><dd> for this variable, said trait is not very rigid, may change
with time or with individual interaction. For example,
Geeks who happen to very much enjoy Star Trek: The Next
Generation, but dislike the old 60's series might list
themselves as t++@.
</dd><dt>$
</dt><dd> Indicates that this particular category is done for a
living. For example, UL+++$ indicates that the person
utilizes Unix and gets paid for it. Quite a lucky geek,
for sure.
</dd><dt>?
</dt><dd> Unless stated otherwise within the specific category, the ?
is placed after the category identifier and indicates that the
geek has no knowledge about that specific category. For
example, a person that has never even heard of Babylon 5,
would list their Babylon 5 category as 5?
</dd><dt>!
</dt><dd> Placed BEFORE the category. Unless stated otherwise,
indicates that the person refuses to participate in this
category. This is unlike the ? variable as the ? indicates
lack of knowledge, while the ! indicates stubborn refusal to
participate. For example, !E would be a person that just
plain refuses to have anything to do with Emacs, while E?
would be a person that doesn't even know what Emacs is.
</dd></dl>
<p>
</p><hr>
<p>
For each qualifier in a category, there are three buttons. The first
button is manditory for the category. This is your baseline rating in
the category. The second two buttons are optional and may be used to
modify the baseline rating. Those modifiers are described below
</p><dl>
<dt>()
</dt><dd> for indicating "cross-overs" or ranges. Geeks who go from
C+ to C--- depending on the situation (i.e. mostly "c+") could
use C+(---). @ is different from () in that () has finite
limits within the category, while @ ranges all over.
</dd><dt>>
</dt><dd> for 'wannabe' ratings. Indicating that while the geek is
currently at one rating, they are striving to reach another.
For example, C->$ indicating a geek that is currently
computer savvy, but wants to someday make money at it.

Geeks come in many flavors. The flavors relate to the vocation (or, if a
student, what they are training in) of the particular geek. To start a
code, a geek must declare himself or herself to be a geek. To do this,
simply choose the button which denotes your occupation or field of study.
Multi-talented geeks with more than one vocational training should click
on all applicable areas (For those with many areas, the GAT check box
might be for you).

<h3>Age</h3>
<p>
The only way to become a true geek is through practice and experience. To
this end, your age becomes an important part of your geekiness. Use the
qualifiers below to show your age (in Terran years). Also, please use
BASE 10 numbers.

<h3>Computers</h3>
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.

<h3>UNIX</h3>
It seems that a Unix-based operating system is the OS of choice among most
geeks. 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.

<h3>Linux</h3>
Linux is a hacker-written operating system virtually identical to unix. It
originally and continues to run on your standard 386/486/Pentium PC, but has
also been ported to other systems. Because it is still a young OS, and
because it is continually evolving from hacker changes and support, it is
important that the geek list his Linux ability.

<h3>Cypherpunk</h3>
With the birth of the overused buzzword "The Information Superhighway",
concerns over privacy from evil governmental bad-guys{tm} has led to the
formation of of an unofficial, loosely organized band of civil
libertarians who spend much of their time discussing how to ensure privacy
in the information future. This group is known by some as "cypherpunks"

<h3>Babylon 5</h3>
<!-- HTML Marker Upper Note: Babylon 5 *is* the Last, Best Hope for Good
Science Fiction on Television. -->
For many years, Sci-Fi geeks have wished for a television show that would
overcome the limitations of Star Trek. For many, a show called Babylon 5
has met that demand, with a deep storyline, exciting characters and
state-of-the-art computer generated effects.

There is a game out for the PCs and other computers called DOOM. It's a
3D virtual reality simulation where you race around and blow things away

<h3>Sex</h3>
Geeks have traditionally had problems with sex (ie, they never have any).
Because geeks are so wrapped up in their sexuality (or lack of sexuality for
that matter), it is important that the geek be willing to quantify their
sexual experiences.
<p>
This code also is used to denote the gender of the geek. Females use 'x' in
this category, while males use 'y'. Those that do not wish to disclose
their gender can use 'z'. For example:
</p><ul>
<li><input type="radio" name="34" value="x"><b>x+</b> -- I am female
</li><li><input type="radio" name="34" value="y"><b>y+</b> -- I am male
</li><li><input type="radio" name="34" value="z" checked="checked"><b>z+</b> -- I don't
wish to disclose my gender </li></ul>
<p>
For those persons who do not wish to give out any details of their sex life,
the use of z? (where z is the gender code) will allow you to do so.
