62% scored higher (more nerdy), and
38% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Not nerdy, but definitely not hip.

Overall, you scored as follows:



3% scored higher (more nerdy), and

The fact that we're getting the same percentages even though at least 4 people tried the test tells us something about the test as well... either millions of people did the test before us, or they don't actually update the statistics...

Erm, okay... </nerd>

Notepad? Yikes, now I see why you are only 87% nerd. Shocked

You need to upgrade to VIM. I haven't used Notepad for 10 years. Laughing

It looks good, but I try to use only programs that run on all three major desktop operating systems. I guess that makes me more nerdy. If you want a good HTML editor that does run everywhere and is free, try NVU (from Mozilla). It's not perfect, but it's improving every day.

Check dis!

93% scored higher (more nerdy), and
7% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Definitely not nerdy, you are probably cool.

That is the first time i have been refered to as cool.
I don't think harmoniums are cool. (but they are fanastic!)

Overall, you scored as follows:

94% scored higher (more nerdy), and
6% scored lower (less nerdy).

What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

Definitely not nerdy, you are probably cool.

I don't know, who gives a toss, eh? Mind you, I managed to start editing my newly aqcuired Yamaha CS6x after only a quick glance in the manual, and storing my sounds on the third try. Cool

Funny thing is, I'm generally VERY sceptical of cool, probably more so than of square. You just can't win!

90% were more nerdy than me. I guess I have always been an underachiever.

Since I did it, I might as well post it.

[img]I am nerdier than 14% of all people. Are you nerdier? Click here to find out![/img]

But I think I'm nerdier than that, because now I really wonder why I did it.

Then again, I decided to leave the faulty img-tags in the message (just to prove my score).(which makes me a nerd again - aaargh, no end in sight)

hehehehehehehehe,
the reason im not changing anything in that code
is because I wanted to keep it at 64 bytes maximum :X

but you could probably squeeze it down to about 50 bytes
or something with more optimizations. but im not a fullfeatured
asm coder, im just a asmhobbyist :X , making stupid programs
for fun ;D hehehehe.
