yesterday my friend and i were hanging out at my house and we were in my room playing gamecube and then he notices one of my c++ books...
friend: whats c++?
me: its a computer programming language
friend: and your into that kind of thing?
me: big time
friend: your a geek, dude.
me:
just something i thought id share...
You're a geek dude.

Yeah, you tend to get that, or "YO OMG U MUST BE 1337 H4X0R"
And that's why I don't openly preach that I'm a programmer...

You're geek, and so the rest of you above
Funnily enough I get that kind of attitude from my collegues in Computing labs and it really ........es me off. It's just one of those attention things I don't like and it leads to everyone copying my work (especially coursework) and it's not entirely the fact they copy that ........es me off, it's the fact that they'll get nowhere when I'm not there etc.Yeah, you tend to get that, or "YO OMG U MUST BE 1337 H4X0R"
And that's why I don't openly preach that I'm a programmer...
Our lecturer(s) are completly oblivious to the fact this happens in classes so my collegues give off the impression they know (sometimes a lot) more than they really do know. I mean it's OK for us to go into complexities in programming labs if we're capable (their beginners lessions that I have to take thru the course whether or not I know what I'm talking about, the lecturer generally ignores me).
Today was a good example, a simple program to introduce the others in my lecture to arrays. We had to write procedures (oh yeah, we have to use Pascal in my college) which search, sort and initialise an array. No problem then. So I decide I want my program to be able to tell when the data being searched for is not found and report this to the user. After a bit of fiddling I get this working, and everyone over my left should has copied it word for word.
I mean there are exceptions to this copying, and I don't mind helping others in my lectures either; the guy who always sits on my right very rarely copies me (or he just asks me to explain how my program solves the problem then he does it himself).
In a way I do 'care' for my collegues as far as they'll be ........ed if they can't copy.
Yes, yes, this is blabber which sounds like I'm blowing my own horn (well I am, but trying not to be cocky about it) but I thought I'd share this with you.
Good class architecture is not like a Swiss Army Knife; it should be more like a well balanced throwing knife.

TO HEADBUTT THEM WITH IF THEY DON'T STOP COPYING.
Wow. This is the first time ive seen a thread with a lot of senior members replying to it. New ones ive never seen before.
you will get called geek... but of course I used my info to better the tech class... actually teach 3 of my friends
programmers are geeks ------ no one can get around that
I am a geek and am proud of it. In fact I have a shirt that says "Geek." and I wear it often.
BTW moving this to the correct board
What's C++?
I'm not immature, I'm refined in the opposite direction.
You are kidding right?
that has happened to me before. Probably because I have the OpenGL Red Book (OpenGL 1.4) Programming Windows 5th edition, and The Unofficial Guide to Ethical Hacking, and until I gave it to a friend (probably should have kept it duh...) I did have a C++ college text book. BTW If you think that is bad I'm only 15.
give it time.You are kidding right?

My bookcase has nothing but programming and tech manuals.
all focussed on linux.
full bookcase.
no-one ever calls me a geek to my face.
( the whips and chains hanging from ceiling might intimidate them)
what...i googled for 'porn' under image search and i got to this website...how do i get to a different webpage? THE INTERNET SUCKSYou are kidding right?
