Why are nerds/geeks obsessed with Japanese culture?
Q. I'm not saying that all are, but the majority have some kind of fascination with Japanese. I don't understand why either. Don't use the excuse that Japanese people are smart and that is why nerds gravitate towards that language because Chinese people are also smart. Plus, the Japanese are very unfriendly to outsiders. Although nerds may idolize them and their language, the Japanese use derogatory terms (gaijin) to describe anyone who is not Japanese. Why isn't Chinese a more popular language among nerds? Chinese is a more economically and politically useful language than Japanese and plus, the Japanese copied the Chinese writing system. I may be a little biased towards Chinese because I speak semi-fluent Chinese.

A. I think it is exposure. Japan has been a major world power, and highly involved in the West a lot longer than China has in the same way. China has only recently been growing in power. Japan has been exporting its cultural produce all over the world. Pokemon being a good example. People are familiar with the terms ninja, karate, sumo and sushi. All this 'culture' is entrenched in Western media and text. And nerds are the more likely to be paying attention to things like video games, cartoons and even martial arts (because they don't do main stream sports) On the other hand, China has not had nearly the same influence on pop culture. Perhaps the greatest mark is China's kungfu films. Though they are not labeled Chinese well, so a lot of… [cont.]

Why do so few people know the diference between nerds, geeks, and dorks?
Q. I, personally, am a geek, and I am proud of being a geek. But I find it insulting when people call me a dork. And, although I am just a bit flattered in a way, I often correct people when they call me a nerd.

Computer nerds, geeks, w/e: why does blinking cursor not always indicate time to type?
Q. Usually when the vertical line at the point where your typing has a visible effect is blinking, you use the keyboard and characters result. Why sometimes do you have to bring the arrow to it and mouse-click again in order for characters to register?
Asked by westcoastvoodoo - Fri Feb 15 15:19:02 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It may be because another application is opened, thus, having an active window selected instead of the typing screen, or the memory is loading some data that leaves it frozen for a moment. usually this happens when another window is active or is opening thus transferring the activity to the other window. it might be accidental sometimes, like when a pop up window appears.

A. dork = socially inept nerd = has a nerdy hobby or interest such as sci-fi shows, comic book collecting, etc... Typically knows a lot of useless information. geek = technical/scientific version of the nerd, often one person can be described as both a nerd and a geek. dweeb, all of the above.

My Friends are nerds/geeks what should i do?
Q. Before I never really noticed this, but ever since this Summer i've been realizing that my friends are all geeks/nerds. They spend almost 80% of their day playing computer games. We only hang out like once a day for an hour and even then all they can talk about are their rpg games and their anime. Summer's half over and we haven't even gone somewhere to hang out once. (The 1 hour that we hang out each day is like only walking around in the park talking so it doesn't really count) We haven't gone to the movies, or the beach or any other place people might go with their friends during the summer. All we've done is walk around talking about more nerd stuff. What should I do? I want to be able to hang out more, but it's hard with these friends. [cont.]

A. well, even if you were good at making friends, you should never just ditch your friends. the first suggestion is suggest going places that you want to. speak up. if that doesnt work, you can at least try making friends. i was never that good at it either growing up, but once i stopped being so quiet it worked better. or maybe college is just easier. if all else fails, go to those places with your family. sometimes it might not be as enjoyable, but why not. looking back on my life, i wish i got closer with my family anyways. might as well have some fun with em.

Asked by Stephen L - Sun Aug 27 09:10:51 2006 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Not necessarily. I was a geek, and I had friends from all groups: the nerds, the jocks, the cheerleaders (ahhh, the cheerleaders), the neobeatnik new wave crowds, the kickers, and the socially maladjusted. Hating whole groups of people just because of their 'group' is just more biased BS. If you MUST hate, hate the individual, or do the Christian think and love the sinner but despise the sin.
