You know you're a geek when another computer BSODs or Kernel panics and you can infer the cause by the register dumps.

lmao, I completely agree.
the other day, me and another techie friend were trying to get OSX on a pc, and it had a kernel panic and I was able to find out that it was not enabling PAE correctly. =)

You know you are a geek when your girlfriend is a robot and your avatar is the Transformer emblem. I myself do both, so I win!

My girlfriend's not a geek but she's made straight A's a few times. I'm proud of her (I like to brag ).

You know you're a geek when you (as I have done) spend money on these and think they are the most awesome toy ever!

You are more than a geek
you have 8 * 12 / 1 = 96 X times more experience than me + also have more exposure and oppourtunities than i have here
List updated
4) You are not a consitent B- (sometimes C ) grade scorer for a span of 7 years

Hi,
... when you count sheeps in octal when going to bed
... when you count until 1023 with your fingers only because you know how to do it
I think the thing with start counting from 0 is the most significant characteristic. It is really a problem for me, because my result when counting is always 1 less then others. Or for example I think the 'Z' is letter 25 in the alphabet, because 'A' has index 0.
