Welcome to GEEKS!
"The difference between a geek and a nerd is
that a geek has social skills"
-unknown
Geeks is a list for... well.. geeks to share geeky,
technical humor that their non-geek friends and
cow-orkers might not get. All geeky postings are welcome,
as long as it fits this framework:
- It must be technical.
- It must be funny.
- It should have a UNIX/network/Internet based topic.
Here on GEEKS, we think WhinDoze is the spawn
of Satan, and we don't want to see non-geek stuff
on a geek list.
- There should be NO USEFUL INFORMATION given.. This is
a humor list, not a tech support list.. :)
And now, a special message from root..
*******************************************************************
*...PLEASE HELP KEEP THE GEEKS LIST FROM BECOMING A LUSER HAVEN...*

*/\ Watch traffic on the list before posting- "DEC Wars is funny *
*the first time around, but after reading it fifty times, it's *
*really annoying. *
*/\ This list is for computer/technical humor. This is not a *
*majordomo-version of rec.humor- postings here should be related *
*to computers in some way. *
*/\ We're all geeks here. There's no need for "I'm geekier than *
*you are" followups- unless they're really funny.. :) *
