  1. True Geeks on The Urban Geek As A Mugger Magnet? · · Score: 1

    True Geeks shouldn't have to walk on the streets, and face it: wearing 'phones that don't look like headies from and ipod won't make a difference because muggers will think your ipod is just a casette deck anyway, muggers not being the most technologically literate people on this planet.

    But back to true geeks.

    True geeks can only do anything significant at times that resemble binary, such as 10:10, 01:11, etc.

    Also true geeks only go to stores for products that aren't available online, and for the most part get a non-geeks to go with them.

    And finally, true geeks either are the kind of people who look homeless whenever they leave the house anyway or people who make enough money to drive cars.

    Oh, and as if you'd carry your lappy in a seperate bag. get the 3mil thick slimline bags and place them into your backpack or breifcase. unless your a femgeek who only takes a hnadbag and a laptop bag, in which case your asking to be mugged by walking around the city at night. (not trying to be offensive, but muggers generally go for women over men due to the genetic and socialogic differences that make them easier targets) I know you can't help it gals :P

  2. Orkut? Why? on Slashback: Zip, Language, Opportunism · · Score: 1

    Hmm... what is the advantage of the orkut system over say chatting to your mates in a private chan on IRC, or on MSN, or posting on a forum?
