Nerd is a big word. I am a computer geek, but when you think of someone who is typically thought of as a "nerd", no, i wouldn't fit that description. Point? It doesn't matter. If you like to play BYOND, do it.

Well, when you think of "computer geek", most people would think of a scrawny boy with an odd voice who is socially inept. That has nothing to do with liking computers, it really doesn't. I spend a helluva long time ont he computer each day, and yet I am the most "socially accepted" person out of all of my friends.
You can be a geek at anything, but certain parts of society (The ones with loud mouths typically) make some geekdoms less socially acceptable than others. | |
Then embrace it! It doesn't matter what they think, just do what you like to do. You aren't harming anyone by doing it.

Well, after I get home from my job as the IT specialist at an accounting ferm or after a meeting with my business parner about our business, I think I have earned a little time to be nerdy. I spend about 5 hours a day on the computer, and about 3 of it is at work. You can have a life and enjoy computers. Now all I am missing is that supermodel girlfriend.

Nerds have broken glasses & pocket protecters, GEEKS on the other hand, don't.

Comp Geek, yes. Nerd, no.
| |
My glasses aren't broken, and I've never even seen a pocket protector. I'm definitely a nerd though. =P
| |
I agree. Although it is open for interpretation, I consider a "geek" simply a fanatic, when I consider a "nerd" someone who fits that "computer nerd" stereotype. It doesn't really matter though, it's all just in the eyes of the beholder.

When I consider nerds they are the ones who play board games, hack the government, and study ALL day. >.<

Also, people who hack arnt generally bad people, it's the crackers your talking about. This kid I used to goto school with was nerdy, when he got a 1.5megabit connection he sang about it all day for a week. | |
