    Default Does this make me a total geek ?

    Long story short: yesterday I discovered how I could log on to a lab computer running Linux from my own computer at home running Windows, I thought this was très cool. I believe I actually made excited noises out loud (the "cool !" and "woohoo !" kind, you pervs).

    Have I totally passed on to the dark side on computer geekdom now ?

    Yes.

    Actually, I'd be excited about that as well but I'm lacking the incentive to bother with Linux.


    Can anyone tell me why the spoiler tags don't work? Anything changed? Can't I spell anymore? Am I not enough of a geek to be allowed to use them?

    vb code is on, it says for me. And they do seem to work in the backroom whenever someone uses them. But here I can't see any spoiler.
    Being good geeks, we have to find out what causes this and pray to Tosa for help.

    Please allow me to prove my problem with this picture.
    Maybe some geek can tell me why that is the way it is.

    Yeah, I noticed the same thing. Couldn't find a pattern, either - at first I thought it was only not working when I'd do a preview thread, but it turned out that sometimes it did, sometimes it didn't. Randomly...
    Therapy helps, but screaming obscenities is cheaper.

    Now Sasaki's spoiler really works.

    And that thing above your name is the time in Germany or what did you mean?
