Actually, my major was Electrical Engineering.
I would think one of the defining traits of being a geek is avoiding the unecessary. When it comes to an OS, the overwhelming philosopy is "If its not a necessary feature, get rid of it."
I'm sorry if I find the SO's uptime or kernel version a completely unecessary relationship feature. Things like actually enjoying the other person's company in the absence of any technological gadget would be a good start.
As a real flesh and blood chick, the fact that you would even spend time thinking about this...
Chicks don't care what kernel you run - they want you to stay away from the computer and do things with them, darn it! Its fine to spend brain cycles on upgrading your OS, but it better be the lowest priority process in the task list. If you enjoy your machine's companionship more than your chick's, then you don't deserve a GF.
