Is your girlfriend a computer geek? at Twisted DNA

Is your girlfriend a computer geek?

Published August 29th, 2006

A colleague of mine narrated a funny story about how his girlfriend, who is a software engineer, got mad at his playing Solitaire all the time on the computer. She installed a parental control software to prevent opening games on their home computer and refused to give him the passcode. That prompted me to come up with the following list:

How can you tell if your girlfriend is a computer geek?
(You need to be a geek to enjoy this)

She always asks you, self-consciously, does my laptop look too fat?
She dumps you after she finds out your SIMS character cheated on her SIMS character
She describes a perfect date as, “At a romantic restaurant with good WiFi connectivity”
She emails you, “I am feeling kinky, can we have VOIP sex?”
Your friends call you with computer problems and ask, “Can I talk to your girlfriend?”
Her Palm Pilot can play better music than your Hi-Fi music system
She has more software CDs than music CDs
She has a USB powered sex-toy
When you decided to have a kid, she uses the computer to find out the most fertile minute of her cycle. Then she tells you, “There is absolutely no pressure”
When she put “I have the best rack” on her match.com profile she meant rack mounted server
She told you, “You had me at Hello World.”

alan:
Hey! Thanks for all the wonderful comments you left. I will get to them one by one. I can’t believe that you are more in Bollywood movies than most of us laage raho

dharmu:
hmm… that’s a good topic, “how do you know if your gf is a mgmt type.” I will think about it and either post it or send it to you separately

Passing Thoughts

[+] I am excited that the Phoenix probe successfully landed safely and peacefully on Mars. Or, as Ms. Hilary Clinton would put it, “It landed under heavy sniper fire.” [1 comment]

[+] Two girls scouts are protesting girl scout cookies because they say they are endangering some species. If you looked at the nutrition information of the cookies they sell, you would agree that one of the endangered species is mankind. [0 comments]

[+] According to this news item the definition of rape has been widened. If a woman refuses sex in the middle of the act, the rest of the act is considered rape. I guess she can re-accept sex making it consensual again. Don’t be surprised if you see criminal cases with the following description: “She went to his place at 8:00PM. They had coffee. They had sex from 8:30PM to 8:54PM. He raped her from 8:55PM to 9:01PM. Then she reluctantly agreed to sex. So, technically, he partially raped her from 9:02PM to 9:15PM. They both had dinner. Later they had sex after he briefly raped her.” [6 comments]

[+] Pentagon admitted that they accidentally shipped missile parts to Taiwan. Be assured that US is not in the business of selling arms. It might so happen that Taiwan may accidentally ship some money to US in the future. Who knows what accidents happen. [1 comment]

[+] Sarah Jessica Parker is whining that she won the “Unsexiest Woman Alive” award from Maxim readers. If you ask me, she should be quite glad that she didn’t win the “Unsexiest Horse” award. [2 comments]
