Sometimes scientists make things alot harder than they need to. All they've gotta do is put a big spring on the ground where they think it's gonna land, or send a mission to the moon to erect a sign that says "Welcome to Earth".

Yeah, I think geek is the proper term. Both apply though.

I check Tigerdirect.com and Newegg.com during study halls on Fridays!

I also don't use the school web browser (IE6). I have FireFox on my U3 drive and use that! People then ask how I do it and I explain it and they also wonder how I change my desktop background (at school you have to use FireFox and set image as wallpaper. It doesn't do that in IE. It's disabled.).
