Why are techies always seen as geeks?
Once again, watching Hotel Babylon and a group of techies turn up and are portrayed as geeks.
Geeks are human too!!!! Give us the respect we deserve. Thank you  |

Most techies are sensitive, its because their only friends are geeks.

Re: Why are techies always seen as geeks?
Because they were the fat kids or wore glasses in school and never did sports or games without looking like pratts, Geeks is a compliment really.

Re: Why are techies always seen as geeks?
I thought that it was one of the best programs of the moment. Quite decent storylines and believeable to boot.

Re: Why are techies always seen as geeks?
Never been a 'trekkie'
I enjoy a bit of sci fi from time to time but not my favourite genre by a long way. |

Re: Why are techies always seen as geeks?
Dont know the answer to your question but have you got the Kororaa Xgl Live CD 0.1?
The desktop cube and wobbly windows are great :-) "The Kororaa project has released a live CD demonstrating the new Xgl technology for 3D window manipulation and other unusual effects: "Today I am happy to release a Kororaa live CD showcasing Xgl technology. If you would like to find out what it's all about, then download the CD and boot up your PC! The Live CD comes with X.Org 7.0, GNOME 2.12.2, 3D support and of course Xgl. Supported drivers are 'nvidia' (NVIDIA) and 'fglrx' (ATI). Minimum recommended configuration is Pentium 3 with NVIDIA GeForce video card." Download here |
