I don't think responding to this guy is the trouble.  I just like his
last bit.

"Because I don't live on caffiene, I don't play Quake, I don't read
Slashdot, and I hate Linux."

1. I like coffee, but usually drink the fake stuff.  I've got other uses
for my cardio-vascular system besides hacking, and I like it to work
most of the time.

2. I don't know if I've ever played Quake.  Maybe I did once briefly and
forgot.

3. The people on slashdot aren't fair representatives of geeks any more
than Johnny Cochrin is a typical lawyer or the scary chics at a night
clu are typical women.  We call them "trolls", "slime", and "vectors",
respectively.

4. I like Linux, most of the time.

Some I'm meet 21% of his criteria but consider myself a geek.  So I'm
just going to blow off his entire article as rambling nonsense. :)
