This is a post because I don't have a lot of guy friends who are good with my tech stuff. In fact out of everyone I know, theres a few in uni and my dad and was wondering if anyone had any like.. opinions or ideas on nerdy stuff? Bit like the alcoholess alcohol post but with processors, comic books and other nerdy stuff? :)

Huh? Exactly what are you looking for?

Computer technician talk? Web codding? In-depth Star Trek/Star Wars analyzing? Something else? I do it all but I need a point of discussion in which I can jump in and expand(a post to start on. Example: "When do you think DDR4's are coming out?"). Please elaborate.

I can match up dialogue from the Lord of the Rings movies to where it actually appears in the books and descrbe the different contexts as well of the literary merits of the two different approaches...does that count as nerdy?

LOL I knew Zolrek would be all over this.

If your father really thought there were no tech savvy trans people he had no clue Zolrek existed. :P

You are in good hands. (Just follow him; he'll lead you to their hive...or headquarters....or whatever techs call it)

**leaving before I get crushed by an avalanche of motherboards and core processors.

added in: Oh wait!! I know. (I think I know) "the continuum" B) (oh well, at least I like the word :P )

Actually, you mean GDDR5....GDDR is not the same as DDR. It's based off of DDR3, though.

Well if you ignore the anime, comic books, video games, star wars/lord of the rings/star trek/xena/etc, and computer codding then I am a totally not nerdy guy. XD

Yeah... I occasionally go outside... :P

What codding languages do you know? Just website languages or do you program more then that? Please don't say HTML if you make websites...because then I'll know you fail code. Just say "XHTML" please. :blush:

Pfft. Basic HTML ... learned that in grade eight. XD So while I can make a pretty web page, that is hardily worth anyone's time. :P Though, I prefer just to have a program do that for me.

Imma fan of Javascript in general. Even though it can be boring at times.

All the basic old codes will eventually become incompatible with web browsers...in the future. The problem posed with this is it needs to be very slowly filtered out one by one..otherwise a lot of web pages would go down.

I do Javascript...and the only program I use to make things faster is dreamweavier when it comes to websites but it doesn't "make" anything for me...The programs that actually create webpages for you suck. I suppose when it comes to flash codding I use Adobe Flash but I don't like adding too much Flash to my websites and I don't make flash websites because we all already know how annoying those are.

Aw, I thought you were talking about "Dance Dance Revolution" when you mentioned DDR. =(

No.

DDR aka DDR SDRAM

Umm.... I'm only a semi-nerd. I know more about computers and tech stuff than the general population, but not enough to be a full-blown nerd.

I also know a lot about digital music that most people don't care about. For instance a 128kbps mp3 file vs. a FLAC file at 80% compression and 41kHz that is about 20MB for one song. Bitrates, formats and such.

Don't really do any coding or anything like that.

I'm more of a dork than a nerd though at heart :P

I'm pretty nerdy I guess. I love anime, comic books, old school super hero cartoons, quantum physics (well, science in general), and am a HUGE Star Trek and LOTR fanboy. I spend most of my time on the computer (especially on 4chan haha), am fairly tech-savvy, and have been in a robotics and chess club in high school.

Haha..I was just joking though. I suppose in some sense that could be true. You are who you are, really.

:lol:

I knew you were :P

Still wish that I could classify myself as a nerd :P

As beguiling as us nerds are(LOL I'm joking..), I'm not sure why you feel that way. It's just a very vague label for people whom act a certain way and that may or may not have similar "nerdy" interests. If you don't feel you belong under that category then find something else that suits you - maybe there isn't. I'm assuming at the moment you're looking for a label to "belong" to in order to consolidate your social identity. Keep in mind as well - even if you don't put yourself into that label doesn't mean you can't hang with people who do.

That is the best explanation of social categorizing iv ever heard :) I bow to you Zolrek! B)

I would have to say im a scifi/space/tech nerd. Big fan of all things gadgety, love star trek, star wars, etc. I am currently studying broadcast enginneering cos im not quite clever enough for actual physics and nasa, im going for satellite uplink engineering instead.. i looove space stuff lol i always wish id studied physics and chemistry in college instead of english and theatre studies. Social pressures and all that crap.. anyway im digressing..

I love lord of the rings, bit of a harry potter fan.. anyone here a fan of guillermo del toro movies? (i.e pans labyrinth, hell boy..) or tim burton? :blush:

      Personally, I think the moderators here strike the perfect balance, and I'd like to thank you all for your efforts.

      Don't forget TJ Maxx for purses.  I have purchased several from there.  They offer a great variety with good prices.  You can even find high-end bags at affordable prices.   @Ladypcnj purses are one of my weaknesses as well.

      When I get stuck in androgynous mode for an extended period I have to admit that I salve the dysphoria at times through retail therapy.    And, I've been busy. I search for bargains a lot of eBay, put items on my watchlist, wait for an offer and then typically make a lower counter-offer. Most of the items I buy are new. The strategy has gotten me some amazing deals on brand name clothes.   I will also admi to being a Talbot's Girl and all these are Talbot's items. Their clothes just seem ti fit me well. New in my closet are:

      We have even had them here from time to time I am afraid.   The rights of Free Speech actually carry a weighty responsibility to take the consequences of making that speech and it is that responsibility where the persons making the FREE hateful statements break down.  They insist that the Right shields them from the consequences, but it makes them all the more liable for them in reality.

      When and if a post is removed here, there is always a PM to the poster to explain the action and offer them an opportunity to amend the post to align with T&C's (if possible).     Certainly!  There are always those who will flaunt the rules.

      Good morning!! Nice day preparing hamburgers and chips for lunch today for a visiting house guest.

      Actually, Memorial Day is the day where we remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.   Veteran's Day, November 11th, is the day where we honor all who served.   Here is something I found that distinguishes among Memorial, Veteran's and Armed Forces day.

      I think Norstrom and Marshalls would be the top leading stores for both fashion and their collections of purses.

      Welcome to TGP, Amy! You'll find many like-minded people here as well as tons of information. Don't worry about trying to describe yourself. Relax, ask questions, and join in where you feel comfortable.    I started out like you, crossdressing in private, even hiding it from my wife, before coming to the realization that it was much more. I'm still only out to my wife, therapist and priest.....and, of course, everyone here. We all understand how difficult it can be to find oneself amid the emotions and challenges.    We are each unique yet share many commonalities.    We're glad you found us!

      You are more brave than I. It's only 60 here right now.

      I was doing my best to get past the fear and shame i felt whenever i went out in public so when i went to therapy and later to my doctor i presented as the woman i felt myself to be.  There was a policy that one had to live as their chosen gender for a year prior to starting HRT.  In some ways that seemed almost right to me as one of the hardest things we do is the entry into society as ourselves.     Of course the way you dress is up to you but be assured that your doctor is there to support not denigrate your decision.   Hugs,   Charlize

      You are right, there are no actual 'roos in Tassie, just their smaller cousins like wallabies and pademelons. Devils are really cute. If you got to see the adults in full noise, you can easily understand why they got portrayed that way in the Looney Tunes cartoons! Emus, or 'bush chooks', have a habit of sneaking up on you and stealing food. I was at an open range zoo a few years ago and was holding a bag of pellets behind me to hide it from the emus in front of me, when one snuck up behind me and stole it. I've never jumped so high in my life! I almost needed to change my undies! 😆
