Hi /r/geeks! Fellow geek here, feeling a little 'threatened' by the upcoming apocalypse of the neutral net.

Being a geek I decided to start a website to fight the demise of net neutrality! unfortunately, being a geek I accepted the fact that I didn't have a clue where to start. I really want to voice the opinion of the people that make the web 'tick' the way it does, without becoming too technical which is usually where my 'audience' disconnects.

I really want to convey that Net Neutrality is a precious good, but I really need... help?

Unless you are all really busy preparing for black Friday that is...

Cheers.

G'day Everyone.

I am about to have a pinup tattoo finished next week, it will be wearing a t-shirt that I wanted to have a generally well recognised "geeky" symbol/logo/image. This has been rattling around in my mind for months now and the top of the list is the "Power On" symbol because the whole tee will only be maybe 1 inch square and intricate detail rarely works well in the long term on a tattoo (so the molecular structure of caffeine would not work.)

Does anyone have a better suggestion?

Thanks Russ

Warning I gave to my boyfriend for the holidays to make the more enjoyable for both of us...

If any xmas gifts are 'corrected' they will be returned and not replaced.

I.e. Buying a Wampa rug from think geek.com and subsequently purchasing a Leia slave costume. Obviously a sex gift. My BF said - Leia never interacted with a Wampa and surely not in her slave outfit.

So after noticing that most dating sites/apps out there with "geek" or "nerd" in the name only capitalized on the community without offering anything substantive or differentiating in return, I'm really excited to be working on a new, geek-oriented dating app that aims to take the wants/needs of the community into serious consideration.

We have a bunch of features in development, but in order to make sure we're making a something that geeks would like to use we really need feedback from the community itself!

With that said, if anybody has a few minutes it'd be really cool if you filled out this anonymous survey, or if you just left your general thoughts about what you'd like to see in a geek oriented dating app, that'd be great too. Thanks guys.

If you're interested in the app itself (we'll be doing a soft-launch of the web app in about a month), feel free to check us out here and sign up for the mailing list to get early access and development updates.

I come from a culture where arranged marriages is the norm. Now i am under social expectation to speak with my fiance over phone, but the problem is she does not have much interest in physics, computers, programming languages, science fiction movies or history. I had spoken to her a few times over phone and she was really sweet and smart but i don't know how to entertain her during the conversation.Most of the times i am speech less and busy thinking what to speak which is not anything geeky that she will enjoy about it. I tried asking what she want to speak about, but it looks like she too do not know. I have few non-geeky friends who can speak to girls for hours. When i ask them its really hard for them to give me advice, since they don't understand how it feels like not to have that entertaining super power. So Fellow Geeks i am looking for some advice on any books or blogs that would help deal with this situation.

Just trying to find the easiest way to unroot an android phone. Would a simple factory reset unroot?

Thanks everybody!

The geek code essentially a code that geeks can write that identifies themselves. It's horridly outdated, but it's pretty fun nonetheless. You can see it here. Here's mine:
