Go here^. Seems to me many of you will fit the bill, I did.

OMG that`s totaly amazing!

apart from the beer part it`s a match. worst part is though my Wife fits it too! and the handwriting part is just TOO funny

 

we got 3 cats btw.

Hackerdom easily tolerates a much wider range of sexual and lifestyle variation than the mainstream culture. It includes a relatively large gay and bisexual contingent. Hackers are somewhat more likely to live in polygynous or polyandrous relationships, practice open marriage, or live in communes or group houses. In this, as in general appearance, hackerdom semi-consciously maintains `counterculture' values.

 

I have to say I don't quite fit that part of it

[alt_f13]

Heheh, yah not quite.

[alt_f13]

I fit that entire thing... minus being gay, dirty, and living with a bunch of other hackers...

 

 

Edit - Oh yah, I like my beer too. Ever had Rickards Red, YT? Very smooth, perfect sweetness. No monkey piss super alchoholic sweetness most Molsens have.

 

 

[YT2095]

well yeah, the gay bit`s out the question, and I`m monogomous so`s ma wife.

alt_f13, can`t say I have to be honest. I`ve tried beers from around the world but that one doesn`t ring a bell. Baltika 9 was my fave when I was in Russia though, it`s a beautiful beer, 8% but still crisp and refreshing, non of this syrup stuff that`s technicaly a wine.

[Dave]

guinness rules all

[Dudde]

what a bunch of bull monkey:-p

well..okay it's probably mostly true, and most of it is, ...that's creepy...he's stereotyped the hacker...correctly...CRAZY!

 

except I don't deal with the opposite sex except my friends, and I prefer dogs to cats:-p

much more fun^_^

[Sayonara]

Replace the word "hacker" with "internet geek" and it all works.

 

I mean, for god's sake, everyone who said "ooh that fits me perfectly,wow", keep your hand in the air if you have ever used usenet.

Rickards is a Canadian label brewed by Molsen. Once I tried it I've not found anything I like better.

 

And it's the same color as your mug icon.

Sayonara, usenet, fluffynet,JANET, and even ran my own BBS back in the 80`s (2400 baud) had a MASSIVE 10meg HDD too

so ma hand`s still up in the air

[alt_f13]

I played a video game once.

[YT2095]

hehehehe. Original space invaders still kicks a$$

[Dave]

space invaders is overrated, never liked that game

[YT2095]

how `bout pong/tennis the 1970`s atari version, that`s at least gotta come a close second though

 

2 bats 1 ball, and a score each... takes some beating for playablity in my book

\o/ 10 megs!!!!!!!!11112 \o/

[Dave]

there's a version of that (in colour) on my dad's nokia, can't remember which phone he's got though offhand.

[Dudde]

unfortunately, usenet was before my time...*sniff*

[Dave]

I used to use it a bit in the 'early days' about 6 yrs ago, but I don't use it at all now. It always seemed too complicated for me tbh.

[YT2095]

Sayonara, yup, it was half the size of a breifcase and a bit taller

I bought it second hand from a mate that upgraded to 20 meg !!!

AND bought himself (or rather his mother did) a US Robotics Courier 14.4 modem! didn`t even think it was possible in those days and it wasn`t much smaller than the HDD he sold me )

he also lumbered her with a £2000+ fone bill (

we got plenty good pirate s/ware from him though

[Dave]

The sad thing was that I had a 14.4 modem until about 2 years ago :\
