- 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
