    Computer Genius = Your dad...super computer talent, but realizes that there is life outside the box...

    Computer Geek/Nerd = Remember those 3 geeks from the Simpsons, when Homer goes to college? That's a walking talking definition right there...

    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.

    Computer Nerd = Works for a Computer Genius!

    I would say a Computer Genius has also an Outstanding knowledge of business!

    Computer Genius = doesn't wear those thick black bottle glasses with the tape in the middle. Doesn't have the pocket protector with the pens in it. Never brags about the new site that he hacked. No show boating. Someone that knows it all so he doesn't have to be on the computer 24/7.

    Computer Nerd/Geek = everything the Genius is not.

    here...I'll give a better example:

    Computer Genious: Me
    Computer Nerd: You

    See now you should have a good understanding

    A computer genius works with a computer. (Computer=tool)
    A computer nerd/geek plays with a computer. (Computer=toy)
    Al.
    A computer is a tool, not a toy.

    none?
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
