The dorks are still living high on the hog from all the money they fleeced from everybody in the Internet Bubble. As they exhaust their supply of funds, they will re-gain their rightful place in society as the weird guys who sit by the computer servers in the room with no windows.

I was uncool when uncool was uncool.

Amen to that, sass! Mr. Gun is so nerd. Two nerdy kids later, he's still creative!

No but they will probably be cast as the leads in some comic book adaptation someday so that the masses can get from a movie what they poo pooed audiences getting from a "comic book".

Not *this* dork. The vast bulk of us dorks, geeks and nerds work for a living and didn't make buckets of money in the internet bubble. That was mostly the business majors, anyway.

I'm not quite sure which category I fit into, but it's definately down to geek or dork. I'd have to say that dork gets the edge, because in order to be a geek you have to have some sort of special talent or knowledge. I, however, remain a pointlessly eccentric individual with an ultra-lame sense of humor (with a penchant for puns that embarrass the listener) and no discernable abilities.

What are YOU doing right now? Sitting by the computer, but I am not maintaining the network or anything.

What goes around comes around. In the 80's it was Huey Lewis and the News with "hip to be square".

I think that Office Space replaced that for essential viewing.

I'm squarely in the "nerd" camp. However, "Hey, baby, I'm a rocket scientist" is not nearly as successful as one might wish. And neither is "I have over 1200 books" or "I collect fossils and meteorites" or "I'm working on a book about unbuilt US bomber projects."
Where are the nerd girls?!?!?!

It thought it meant she liked sex. Not just any old sex, she's into er, whale sized equipment.

The most overrated motion picture in film history, IMO.
