There was a problem starting the Quiz. Please try again later.
Is this part of the test? Am I supposed to figure out how to make their servers display the text of the test for me? If so, I failed BIG TIME.

Meh.
I hacked the test and scored 142%. That is how an Ubergeek shows a crappy website who's boss.
Damn_registrars has no butt-hole. Damn_registrars has no use for a butt-hole.
This is when "normal" people are sitting around drinking and one of them points out a beer bottle is brown cause it blocks sunlight, and the rest of them chide him or her for being a "geek". And then they have a hearty laugh when the newly labeled geek seems to have forgotten their otherwise inevitable pocket protector, because that is a hilarious joke to make about a geek.
That's what a normal person decomposes a geek into. That's the signal they get. The rest is noise. You're so lonely sitting there with your xterm flashing green text. No matter how bright you make your screen session, it will always be a jumble of Hollywood Hacker to the normal guy, sipping his domestic beer.
I encourage you, actual-geek, to hide in the noise that you will never be noticed in. For it is the curtain that masks you from the mundane torture that is experiencing a meal for the four remaining senses (you abused your rights to experience touch) -- a meal for the common man, pre-processed delicious monotony.

Question 0: How do you set up a website to survive the Slashdot effect?
That's normal. Everyone on Slashdot has an IQ above 150 and a 10" dick.
(The last one is a bit of a waste since nobody on Slashdot has ever had sex.)
...would increment the score several times, if you hit the Next button repeatedly. So I wrote a Selenium test to hammer it as many times as it could before the next page loaded.
I managed to get "1019% Geek".
Which sounds about right, come to thin of it...
The secret to Mensa is to pass the "test", then prove that you didnt cheat by refusing to pay the fee to join.

But is it on fire?

An übergeek knows life, the universe and everything, including Windows.
With the exception of the vagina. Being born through one doesn't count. Nor does a fleshlight.
Seven puppies were harmed during the making of this post.

Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.

*Restarts computer*
*Waits for CD to boot*
*Types the letter A followed by return*
*Types the letter B followed by return*
*Waits*
*dies of old age*
The only question I got was how many geeks it takes to slashdot the site. Which apparently is how many people have visited it in the past few hours.
I read TFA and all I got was this lousy cookie
You missed the last question. It was:
Which of the following aborts the quiz and starts a discussion about "nerd" -vs- "geek" ? :-)
A. Nerds
B. Geeks.
C. Trolls
D. Females.
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?
Yeah, and I'm playing a CG Paladin / Beguiler.
I'm still not having sex, but that's because I've been married for 13 years.

ECHELON is a government program to find words like bomb, jihad, plutonium, assassinate, and anarchy.
A programmer and an engineer are sitting next to each other on a long flight from Los Angeles to New York.The programmer leans over to the engineer and asks if he would like to play a fun game.The engineer just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.The programmer persists and explains that the game is real easy and is a lot of fun.
He explains “I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the answer, you pay me $5.
Then you ask me a question, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $5.”
Again, the engineer politely declines and tries to get to sleep.The programmer, now somewhat agitated, says, “OK, if you don’t know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $100!”
This catches the engineer’s attention, and he sees no end to this torment unless he plays, so he agrees to the game.The programmer asks the first question.
“What’s the distance from the earth to the moon?”
The engineer doesn’t say a word, but reaches into his wallet, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the programmer.Now, it’s the engineer’s turn.
He asks the programmer “What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down on four?”
The programmer looks up at him with a puzzled look.
He takes out his laptop computer and searches all of his references.
He taps into the the net and the Library of Congress.
Frustrated, he sends e-mail to his co-workers–all to no avail.
After about an hour, he wakes the Engineer and hands him $100.
The engineer politely takes the $100 and turns away to try to get back to sleep.
The programmer, more than a little miffed, shakes the engineer and asks “Well, so what’s the answer?”
Without a word, the engineer reaches into his wallet, hands the programmer $5, and turns away to get back to sleep.
Question 7: What does "GUID" stand for?
Graphical User Interface..... Duh!
