Saw this on antoher site and thought it may pertain to a few members on here
OK, so it was just explained to me the difference between a dork, nerd, and a geek. It was used on the basis of Star Wars, but you can pretty much plug in your own (e.g. Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, The Matrix).
DORK -- Can explain how things are accomplished via the movie. e.g. how the Millinium Falcon warps to light speed.
NERD -- Can explain same things as a dork, but can also provide scientific evidence as to how something in the movie is possible/impossible. e.g. can give mathmatical formulas as to how much boost would be needed to achieve light speed.
GEEK -- Can explain same things as a nerd, and can also give a detailed explaination of the entire process of the technology used to make the actual movie. e.g. can explain dithering techniques for computer rendered lighting used in the movie.
I found this interesting. Just wanted to know how many dorks, nerds, & geeks are out there. i would be a Nerd, i guess, or a geek in training:)
