Hrm, a lot of the things on that test I’ve never tried on account of I don’t own a TV or any Apple products. Who needs TV when you have the internet? And who needs Apple when you’ve got Linux?

And why the hell does that test include basic a-5th-grader-could-do-it HTML?

Psh…rip a CD to V0 quality MP3…real geeks don’t use MP3 because it’s patent encumbered!

I also have to wonder how #1 and #46 differ. I mean, geeks use MythTV not those silly “consumer-grade” TiVos. My old laptop was my MythTV box. Though I never used it as a DVR. See that “I don’t own a TV” thing.
