...you use dual monitors as an excuse to install Debian and run a tiling window manager.
...you will drive the same old clunker until the wheels fall off, but you resort to financing to replace a perfectly functional 2 1/2 year old AMD64 X2 4800 with something much better.
Your postcount is over 1000 
... you fill your conky with useless information to occupy all the screen.
Not if your a minimalist geek.

Does putting up a "This Space for Rent" count, if it's done with a conky?

Ahhh yes, the
killall conkycommand, I use it often!
...this is your favorite radio....
That's a good one!
...your friends say "Who needs two monitors?" and you're offended. Just happened today, we're not friends anymore.
You beat me to the punch anonymous, conky definitely qualifies!
We may be "crunch bang" but Hanna, and I say this with all respect, is the "she bang of crunch bang"
Now that's nerdy.
The salespeople at the local computer store can't answer any of your questions.
If you sit at a libary, and get mad because you here more clicking then typing.
And yes, I did watch my disk defrag in windows. And I would think it is annoying in vista where it does it automatically in my sleep, and then it restarts.

Yea, you know you have a winner when they say "What's a bash script?" and that's an easy one!
Or the one I like. Techie comes, from my ISP because I have connection problems:
"Where's the [Start] button?"
"There isn't one this is Linux!" I love it!
I 'm not surprised the people at the computer store can't answer your questions, I had to explain to one here that a gigabyte was a thousand megabytes not a hundred.

What did he say after that?

"Where is Internet Explorer, I need to get on the Web!"
I opened FF and a terminal for him - he ran "ipconfig" he said I had a BIG problem; I had no NET!" And that he didn't know how to fix it because he didn't understand Linux.
I ran "ifconfig", which totally surprised him, "but it's ipconfig!" and then he phoned his "office". They were monitoring my connection from there and the guy he was talking to actually had Ubuntu at home so he knew what to do. I had #! 9.04 at the time.
We have moved and I have a new ISP and not even a hiccup since!

Well if lacking a [Start] button makes an OS buggy I'll pick that every time!

Who needs a start menu when you can have the magic box that does everything. (Also known as the terminal.) And you might also be a nerd if you do happen to describe the terminal as "The magic box that does everything."

Hahahahahaha if that had happened I would have really given him a migraine by hitting [Alt]+[F2]
{I was showing off and had opened FF and terminator that way}
"There you go!"
However see my previous post, ET (Emergency Techy; my term) had already called and was getting help.

Oh that's GOOD! My OpenBox menu now has: Magic Box. Thank you AwesomeFist
I have a couple of choice things on my OB menu.
For example:
Magic Box = terminator (as of a few minutes ago)
Typos = gedit
Spider = iceweasel - everyone else can have the "web", I want the spider!
The GODS (new sub-menu)
T H O R = gksu thunar
Cyborg Terminator = sudo terminator
Power Typos = gksu gedit
and:
I'll be Back! OK! = Shutdown - Logout etc

I'll have to look into .xinitrc that looks interesting.
And since this started I'm thinking a few aliases in case this ever happens again:
alias msie='iceweasel'
alias explorer='thunar'
alias notepad='gedit'
alias ipconfig='ifconfig'... they'll go back to the Office and start spreading the word that Linux is "just like Windows"
Next time someone calls and says, "Can you sent someone that knows Linux please!" I want to be the fly on the wall.
^ that's way too much stuff too remember. but really funny
