On: How Not to Attract Geeks

I hope women take this advice to heart..... Then maybe I'll stand a better chance of getting a geek to call my own :)

Honestly, I think "techiness" and a genuine interest in your work is sexy. . .

You've got a good point there... a fantastic film, among my faves.

Personally, if my computer got infested with ants like Euclid did, I'd throw a fit.

What really hits home for me in the film (for those of you /.-ers who've seen it) is when Max hesitates when he's about to press return. Reminds me of that split second sweep of fear I get, wondering if my program's gonna compile this time.

nope, not in this lifetime....

I once heard someone say that most tv shows, movies, etc., as a rule, are meant to be put out at no higher than the third grade level. Judging from most of the drek out there, I tend to agree.

Furthermore folks, let's face it... in a time where AOL boasts a usership of 17,000,000+, you're just not gonna get a quality hack/crack film. :o/
