These are the ones that apply to me:
- you know, without having to look it up, what LOTR means. - you have either: more than one computer, or more than one operating system. (both) - you can read binary (If you mean trnslating into ascii...or just reading them as numbers) - you have a light-sabre. (not a real one) - you know what TCP/IP, SMTP, POP, USB and RAID mean. (TCP/IP, SMTP, POP) - you know any programming language (other than high-school pascal). - you have more online friends than RL friends. (sadly, this is debatable) - you agonized over the ideal online nick for more than 12 seconds. - you have a picture of a penguin, anywhere. - you are a regular on an online programming forum You know what IDE means if you think nights are for all night coding, instead of sleeping

- you read only books that consist of programming.
- you have dreams of being inside the code. - you buy your wife a programming for dummies for her birthday. - you make little programming symbols out of your roman noodles.
