Christmas Gifts for Geeks
scottfi writes "The shopping season is just about over and I'm always on the lookout for the cool geek gadget to get friends and family (or myself). What cool items are on your list this year or you have wrapped up for others? There are a ton of gift guides online, but I always like to see what the slashdot crowd would like under their tree." I recommend the Harmony Remote, an iPod, and of course a Slashdot Subscription ;)

here is my small and very humble wishlist.
I do sincerely hope you will show up at the Christmas party with these items. If so required I shall designate certain items to certain people to avoid getting double presents. Those who do not bring a present in my wishlist may not have any of the food, nor will you be invited again next year. I thank you all.

That's going to take a while to get over.

Like interns as slave labour?
I can see it now... "here, honey! Remember all those chores I never do, like cleaning the garage, organizing the attic, and massaging your feet? I got you an Intern! The best part is, he's free! He gets school credit for all of this!"
In the future, I would want to not be isolated from my friends in the Space Station.

All of these present additional costs. Add to that QoS (It happens to everybody, honey) and downtime (I'm tired...).Your ideal solution lies in the purchase of an experienced adult film studio fluffer. Guaranteed on-demand service without the hassle of a non-professional.
And it makes Steve Job's have a Merry Christmas too.

Let's see, slavishly embracing tedious, obscure and/or unnecessarily complex technologies that the masses are uninterested in, unaware of or wholly incapable of understanding while not gaining any functional (or indeed, technical) advantage in an ongoing effort to justify elitist pride?

just show up to your family's celebration a day late , problem solved...just make sure someone saves you leftovers from din din.
Do dj's count as geeks?
No. DJ's inevitably get laid.
