Humor: You Might Be A .NET Geek If...
Has your love of .NET become an obsession keeping you up late at night looking through IL? Do you organize your trash into generations for garbage collection? Just how many tables will fit into a DataSet? If the answer to any of these is yes, you might be a .NET Geek.
Sean O'Driscoll, Senior Global Director, MVP Community originally came up with this satire that mimics Jeff Foxworthy's "You Might Be A Redneck If..." series to describe the MVPs at Tech-Ed 2005. You may find it shocking how many of these, while funny, are actually true.

Humor: You Might Be A .NET Geek If...
Man, I was looking forward to some seriously funny .NET jokes in this Tale....
But none of the slides had anything to do with .NET at all.
This could just have been called "You Might Be A Geek If..."

thats exactly right - clinton..
Geek is a Geek, news items and posts tss.net just are so superfluous...any news item mandates Microsoft and any humor items are relatd to .net, how can this be improved?
My 2 cents..

.NET geek
I have few (which just recently happened)
* If you get into heated discussions with colleagues over whether to start developing for .NET 2.0 or stay with 1.1, and you keep contradicting yourself because you're not too sure either. (so many pro's for 2.0 yet few con's as well).
* If you can state at least 3 reasons (or experiences) why Managed C++ for .NET 1.1 has you anxiously anticipating for extended C++ for .NET 2.0 (Bonus: And you cannot stop bragging to your C# friends about it).
* If you have two voices constantly arguing in your head of whether to use __gc or stick with unmanaged... And you hate the two voices because they're both convincing...

You might be an HTML geek if...
... you searched through the HTML source to find out why the Flash movie didn't play in Firefox.
Turns out the path to the SWF should be /cartoons/NETGeek/NETGeek.swf, which it is for the param tag (used by IE), but it's simply NETGeek.swf for the embed tag (used by Firefox).

@David: I had the same problem, but it was just a matter of loading it up in IE and it worked fine. Don't know what's up with that, but whatever. If you have the IEView plugin for Firefox it makes it pretty painless.
