sticky: yet another geek test

Posted in site news by sandro on the May 20th, 2007

Since there’s an infinite number of geek tests out there.. why not add yet another one? One that we know for sure that we’ll get 100% .. or at least a very good mark to brag about. What do you guys think? Post questions and possible answers in the comments box, then press the button.

Some sample questions:

  • What resolution is real life?
  • How would you recognize a file type?
  • What operating systems do you run?
  • Why would you run a killall on a SunOS?
  • What makes Bruce Schneier kinky?
  • Which is your favorite MIME header?
  • How did Stanley crack the password in Swordfish?
  • When did you last run a virus?
