----------------------------------- da_foz Wed Mar 03, 2004 10:08 pm Are you really a Geek? EDIT: The "Answer" is up ----------------------------------- "So, I was walking around campus the other day and I saw a Volkswagen beetle whos licence plate was 'feature'." That is the one statement geek test. Please don't give it away if you have seen it before. I'll post the answer in a couple of days for those who don't get it. I got it from [url=http://www.slashdot.org]slashdot a while back. ----------------------------------- Maverick Wed Mar 03, 2004 10:09 pm ----------------------------------- what am i supposed to be looking at here? ----------------------------------- jonos Wed Mar 03, 2004 10:20 pm ----------------------------------- its probably a riddle or soemthing. ----------------------------------- da_foz Wed Mar 03, 2004 10:26 pm ----------------------------------- what am i supposed to be looking at here? Yes, it is a riddle or something. You are not a geek. The first line is "the statement". ----------------------------------- Martin Wed Mar 03, 2004 11:11 pm ----------------------------------- Fuck I give up. ----------------------------------- da_foz Wed Mar 03, 2004 11:42 pm ----------------------------------- **** I give up. LOL, you will just have to wait a bit then. I'll try to remember to post the hidden meaning before I go out of town this weekend (leaving Friday morning). ----------------------------------- rizzix Wed Mar 03, 2004 11:46 pm ----------------------------------- "feature" ? ----------------------------------- Martin Thu Mar 04, 2004 3:03 pm ----------------------------------- After about an hour of searching on google I *think* I get it. I have way too much time on my hands. ----------------------------------- da_foz Thu Mar 04, 2004 3:07 pm ----------------------------------- After about an hour of searching on google I *think* I get it. I have way too much time on my hands. Wow. I just don't have anything else to say to that. I will post the 'answer' late tonight or tomorrow morning. ----------------------------------- da_foz Thu Mar 04, 2004 11:10 pm Re: Are you really a Geek? Look in here to find out ----------------------------------- "So, I was walking around campus the other day and I saw a Volkswagen beetle whos licence plate was 'feature'." Its a feature, not a bug. The funny thing is that I was looking around the Spam forum and the 'answer' is one of the quotes in the quote thread. ----------------------------------- Tony Fri Mar 05, 2004 9:01 am Re: Are you really a Geek? Look in here to find out ----------------------------------- Its a feature, not a bug. :lol: it's funny, but I had to think for a while even after you gave the answer :? I don't think I would have ever gotten this one on my own :think: ----------------------------------- jonos Fri Mar 05, 2004 11:51 am ----------------------------------- i still didn't get it until i thought it over in metal shop (which is an awesome course), and because of it i almost messed up my threading. ----------------------------------- Paul Fri Mar 05, 2004 11:59 pm Re: Are you really a Geek?

I still don't get it, I would like to know the answer, and the above is all you posted... are you telling us to look in spam? BTW Check my post number ----------------------------------- jonos Sat Mar 06, 2004 12:14 am ----------------------------------- evil evil evil!!!!!! paul in the devil reincarnated. everyone run for your lives... ----------------------------------- Mazer Sat Mar 06, 2004 8:10 am Re: Are you really a Geek? Look in here to find out ----------------------------------- I still don't get it, I would like to know the answer, and the above is all you posted... are you telling us to look in spam? A Volkswagen Beetle is sometimes called a bug. If you make, say a game for example, and someone plays it a finds something really weird in it that probably shouldn't happen, what would you do? Clearly you aren't going to admit you made a mistake, and instead will cover it up, claiming that it is a feature of the game and not a bug. As another example, if you are making a Galaxian type game and every once in a while you see a red line flash across the screen (when it clearly shouldn't be happening), you might try saying something like "That's just the invisible boss shooting at you." BTW Check my post number No, you check mine. ----------------------------------- Martin Sat Mar 06, 2004 6:05 pm ----------------------------------- Haha, finally! Yeah...that was pretty funny.
