Well the life of the stapler is a boring, and tedious one I suppose there would be a need for recreation drug use. However, we all know that those automated staples are on meth...just look at the way they attack paper.
I first encountered "nerd arrogance" when I was in middle school and high school. Most of my friends were boys. I would see them working on electronics projects or on a computer programming project and, if I asked what they were doing, the response I got was," you wouldn't understand because you're a girl." I was constantly referred to as stupid. Even though prior to living in the state I reside in now I had won a regional and national science fair for bio-chem and I was part of a group called the "young astronauts" which gave me a chance to go to NASA for space camp, etc. I had the love for the sciences but no one gave me a chance because I was a girl and I don't take anything too seriously. Now that I am in college I still put up with the same garbage. Even outside of school my future father in law made me read an article about how oblivious and unsafe female chemists have been in the past; he assumed that I never took my own safety into account nor the safety of others. So now instead of being a loud mouth arrogant nerd like the people I have dealt with before, I listen to those loud mouths and then research what they are talking about to talk with them later. It does irritate me but I think the best way to deal with it is to get those tendencies under control. Remember that not everyone is as smart as you are but the fact that they are asking means they have a desire to learn; this also means they wish to be one of your peers. Also there are no such things as stupid questions ONLY stupid answers...I am sure someone on here will disagree with me but I am hard pressed to care since its faceless name on the internet. Give people a chance and remember that people are watching you be this smug, arrogant, asshole...that's why you will end up only having those friends at the table and ladies usually aren't attracted to that sort of arrogance.
In a world where we are trying to push more women to get into the engineering, programming, and scientific communities...why in the hell would anyone want to if they knew they would be treated in such a manner? The more stories I hear the more alienated I become from males in general. However, this is a convention that gives people a chance to learn new information and see new technology; not some frat party. It really does not matter who the woman is or what her line of work is, they all deserve respect. These ignorant cock-controlled boys need to grow up.
I try not to wear watches anymore since my obsessions with time leads me to look at my watch and my phone frequently. However, I hear that Tag Huer makes some fine watches but I'm not sure what sort of gadgets they could offer that would be "tech" trendy. Other than what everyone has mentioned for divers.
Also the binary watch at Think Geek looks cool but if you are really into binary you don't need the numbers printed around the lights to tell the time. So that watch would make you look like a pseudo tech geek anyways.
Happy Watch/ Toy Hunting!
Thue, I have to agree with you there...at least for younger kids at least.
Speaking of Aural Sex...you know what they say, once you go black you go deaf.
I just went there recently. It would be a good idea to get there early so you can get tickets to the super cool events. It is quite big so it will take some time to get through the whole place.:D If anyone's headed to Florida there are some very nice museums and of course any NASA stop is a must.

Oh jeeze, now I'm going to have to kill you. That was confidential information...hahaha.

I am not sure why any of this actually matters. If a male has good hygiene habits there shouldn't be any issues.
