I am a failure as a nerd

I was reading the new Slashdot poll:

Your Biggest Failure as a Nerd?

  • Haven’t seen LOTR.
  • Didn’t build my own computer.
  • Don’t run Linux.
  • Have a significant other.
  • Don’t use caffeine.
  • Exercise regularly.
  • Only have one email address.
  • Less than excellent karma.

and it seems that I’m a failure as a nerd. I have seen LOTR-fotr and LOTR-ttt dozens of times (literally, I know every single line of the dialogs), LOTR-rotk only like 8 times, I did build my own computers, I have been running linux since 1997, I have caffeine instead of blood, I _never_ excercise, I use 5 email accounts (and have some other dummy ones) and my karma is excelent.

The problem to my nerdhood is that I _do_ have a significant other. I wonder… how exactly is that a bad thing?
btw, it seems that to regain a perfect nerd-score, I should leave my wife for a lesbian and get a webcam. I don’t think so.

    Tabo, no te has dado cuenta del ROCON que estas hablando!?!?!? (blogeando!!)

    Evidentemente que eres nerd y evidentemente NO has fallado el TEST. Se supone que si NO has visto LoTR o si NO has construido tu propia PC, etc fallarias el TEST pero tu si has hecho todo eso. Lo que si creo que fallas es lo de tener un “significant other” :)

    Should it post in english?? Whatever, it’s done. See ya.
    I failed “not building my own computer” for example :)

    I’m with you Tabo, my only nerdy “mistake” is having a wife, but I’ll try to talk less and less to her and spend more time doing other useful things, like building and rebuilding kernels or guessing the final release date for GNU/Hurd. Promise.
