I don't consider smart people geeks at all, I mean the geeks/nerds stereotype of either skinny or fat, hair completely gelled back, acne, squeaky strange voice, play Runescape and Warcraft non stop and thick "you should have gone to specsavers" glasses.
I consider myself quite smart (I suck at maths though) yet I really do not consider myself a geek at all. Since I'm the complete opposite of what I just said, as in neither skinny or fat (I have muscles yet I'm closer to skinny then fat), my hair is gelled forward, no acne, deep voice, I don't play computer games alot and do not wear glasses.
I just enjoy the internet and making games, sites and stuff.

Geeks are those people in 80's teen movies that get beaten up frequently by the jocks. I'm sure there are some geeks and nerds around here (Angelus for example :D ) but just because people know how to use a computer doesn't make them geeks. BlackThorne's not a geek, he drinks way too much for that.
Good definition of a geek. Quoting Monty Python's Life of Brian and thinking you're funny for knowing it all.

HEY!
I thought both Angelus AND Vamp, since they are the perfect couple. So I thought Angelus was a muscle man, and I thought of Vamp as beautiful as Annononmous Game Creator 1 (I hope I got that right), and they said Angelus isn't a geek so I assumed he was the oppisite and I remember seeing a picture of Vamp a while back so I know she's beautiful. So it really isn't wrong to say someone is strong. :|

Da_Elf: I'm now pretty sure the answer to your question is "yes". It seems that since he got out of jail Mitnick has started his own security consulting company. That probably means he can use electronic devices. Hell, I'd probably hire him if I had some top secret corporate data to protect. I doubt many people know more about the "social engineering" aspect of security than he does. I think that's still one of the major weak links in computer security.
