Well, i'm a wrestler, so i have to work out. I could bench up to 2,000 pounds now...

2,000 pounds? That's it? Lightwieght!!

That's not physically possible for *anyone*.

Maybe he's from England and is referring to his wallet or something :P

Who the heck would keep that much money in their wallet? That's like $3,500.

--BlueCalx

One of my friend's dad's friends actually carries around $100,000 everyday.. heh. He'd spend $10,000 without hesitation.

Good.
Have him buy me a DVD drive.
One that works under Windows 2000.
And 1 GB of RAM, in the form of two 512 MB PC133 ram sticks. 168 pin.
And the best PPGA processor in existence right now.

My address can be found in the WHOIS lookup for nickd.org.
Thank you.

The new version of WinDVD works under Windows 2000 (though you'll need a pretty beefy machine as it's a software decoder).

But, he said a DVD *drive*.

I'm calculator lifter #3

i'm calculator lifter #61 and, from last survey, nerd/geek #110

that's nerd to you bub!
nerd=someone who knows what their doing, and likes it
geek=someone who whines "the computer won't stuff off when I click the button" not noticing that it's set for "restart"....
nerd #66
calc-lifter #89

I'm calculator lifter #100!

And, from what I know, a geek is someone who seems to know a lot about technology, and a nerd actually DOES know a lot about technology.

then i am definitely a nerd

If we care enough to sign up for an account here, actually read the news item discussions, log in, and post a message, then we are definitely nerds.

You have it backwards. Geek is good, nerd is bad.

Sorry, but (being the nerd that I am), nerds are good and geeks are mediocore (not nessiarly bad).

Let's try the dictionary...

nerd: single-minded enthusiast; an enthusiast whose interest is regarded as too technical or scientific and who seems obsessively wrapped up in it (often used in combination; offensive in some contexts)

geek: obsessive computer user; somebody who enjoys or takes pride in using computers or other technology, often to what others consider an excessive degree

You guys figure it out from there.

so now you're calling me a nerd AND a geek well, ...(sniff) well... you're right! (Cry, Cry Sniff sniff!)

Ok, to all of you who took the time to read this:
<cough>nerd</cough>
<cough>geek</cough>

Are you all on crack?!?!? look up geek in the dictionary its a carnival person that bites the heads off live chickens so if you think that is better then a nerd you have something really wrong with you.

I still like geek better.

|£†'§ try my Dictionary… (Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary)

geek \'gëk\ noun:
1) A person often of an intellectual bent who is disapproved of.
2) A carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usualy includes biting the head off a live chicken or snake

nerd \'nerd\ [an upside-down e] noun:
An unstylish, unattractive, or socially inept person; especially : one slavishly devoted to intellectual or academic pursuits <computer ~s>

Judging from those definitions I am a nerd (and proud of it), not a geek - although I don't agree 100% with the definition of a nerd, because stylish and attractive are subjective qualities, they cannot be defined in a dictionary, and a nerd can have ª sø硪| |¡ƒ£…

Fine, I concede. I'll be a geek or a nerd depending on which is the better definition in the person I'm talking to's dictionary.

Geek or nerd #132

I beg to differ! Geek is bad, Nerd is good! I'd much rather have someone say:
Are you one of those Computer Nerds?
than, Are you one of those Computer Geeks?
Geek sound like someone with pants up to their ribs and all weirded out. Nerd sounds like someone with a brain. like mine :-)

nerd is an avid computer user. A geek is a clumsy nerd. And people with no life are ones that spend time discussing the difference between a nerd and a geek :-)

i am a nerd-not a geek!! i also work out and take aikido. plus i also do farmwork.
