26.  You understood that entire post
27. Your homepage is set to BT
28. You have taken sides on the Mac/PC/*nix debate and actually understand the difference
29.  You were pissed the day Adobe bought Macromedia

I could go on...  It's surprising how universal this list is, but then again I was part of the boredom induced conversation where we calculated the strength of a thunder storm that would be produced if you could convert a slice of pizza into pure atmospheric energy.

"Coax" has two syllables.

"ATM" has absolutely nothing to do with money.

Your team name for events at school are done in binary. (True story....our department was teamed with the business dept. for a charity event, so we were Team BIT. I convinced our faculty advisor to enter our name in binary. We were the only ones who saw the humor..... No one else has a sense of humor, I suppose.)

Let me just say how envious of my coworker I am, because HE got FiOS service from Verizon, and they don't offer it in my area yet. Grrrr........ He told me the installer guy said that Verizon was talking about bumping the rate up to 25MB down, 5MB up. For something like $30-40 a month.

Nice, I'm still using DSL at home. Up at work we have obscene connections everywhere; of course that's a perk of working for an ISP.

Oh!

If you ever went into school on a snow day to tend to a science project. (yep, science project studying natural fertilizer (fish poo) vs. synthetic fertilizer in the production of duck weed).

You've done Excel charts of your GPA, GPA variance, and possible outcomes of exams/coursework that would still earn you Summa Cum Laude (yea, my roomate and I are enormously nerdy)

 49. You watch a movie about quantum theory, and force your wife to watch it with you, because it seems "neat".

You can't watch any movie without picking apart the scientific aspects they are butchering in it.  There are some movies that you have to turn off, not because they are boring or too gorey, but because they are so absolutly wrong that you are getting pissed off and verbally abusive with the TV.

Actually, said movie was more documentary-like than anything. And it talks about more than just quantum physics and theory. It's called "What The *&%$ Do We Know?", and I enjoyed it. They also have a website, www.whatthebleep.com

Check it out sometime.
