Humourless “Uber Geeks”
The problem with being uber geeks is that they get so excited about technology and to what uses it can be put that they sometimes miss the point. You know the kind of people I mean, these are the folks who are avid Slashdot readers; they spend hours in darkened rooms, probably not seeing natural light for days on end; and their idea of a great social night out is a LAN party.
So it should come as no surprise that when dme’s suggestion for In-Car Enterprise-Class Entertainment was highlighted in this article on Slashdot that the comments that followed both on Dave’s site and Slashdot failed to spot that he was, in fact, pulling their collective legs.
As “Da Wimp”succinctly put it: “It’s easy for an intelligent man to act like a fool, the other way ’round it gets harder. I’d add another one: It’s hard for the fools to notice.”
