Geeks, as a general rule, are pretty easy-going. We like to think things through, so passionate confrontations aren't commonplace for us. When we get well and truly provoked, though, watch out! We won't stop talking until every last point that we can think of has been made at least twice. So, what do you say to provoke a geek? Glad you asked…

    10. "No real programmer would ever use PHP."

    - This won't work for every geek, of course, but for those it works on, it should work really well.

    9. "Comic books are just for kids!"

    - I'm sure you've heard this one before-I know I certainly heard it often enough in high school, and even though it's even less true now than it was then, I'm sure comic book afficionados still hear it today.

    8. "Role-playing games are just for people who can't deal with real life."

    - There are, sadly, still a lot of people who think anyone who plays D&D must live in his parents' basement and bathe once a month. Such people must be put straight, and immediately!

    7. "The Pirates of the Caribbean movies are so realistic!"

    - I doubt many people actually believe this, but there are an awful lot of misconceptions about pirates out there, so you never know.

    6. "Yeah, I got an Xbox 360 so my daughter could play Hello Kitty games. Is it really good for anything else?"

    - We've hit the ones that are hard for me even to type, now…

    5. "Mac, Windows, or Linux? Does it really make a difference?"

    - An argument so old its original form was probably first written down in hieroglyphs, I know, but I don't know a single geek it wouldn't work on-myself included.

    4. "The Ewoks were the best thing about the original Star Wars trilogy." / "Greedo shot first!" - I couldn't decide between the two. If one doesn't work, I'll bet the other one would.

    3. "Tolkien? Ehhh, I prefer Terry Brooks!"

    - I almost feel like I should argue with myself just for writing that. I'm going to let the top two stand for themselves.

    2. "Joss Whedon is a hack!"

    1. "I don't see what's so bad about DRM!"

    Top ten lists, of course, are never provocative…

    一般而言，極客都十分隨和。我們喜歡全面、徹底地考慮事情，因此，激情對(duì)峙對(duì)我們來說就不再習(xí)以為常了。但是，當(dāng)我們的的確確被激怒時(shí)，請(qǐng)防著點(diǎn)！我們所能想出的最后一點(diǎn)不至少重復(fù)兩次我們是不會(huì)善罷甘休的。因此，你會(huì)用些什么話來激怒一個(gè)極客呢？很高興你問了、、、

    10、"真正的程序員不曾使用過代碼。"-這話不適于每個(gè)極客。當(dāng)然，但對(duì)受PHP影響的那些人還是湊效的，應(yīng)當(dāng)真的湊效。

    9、"漫畫書僅適于小孩。"-我敢肯定你之前聽過這話-即便現(xiàn)在聽來沒當(dāng)初那么真切了，我坦白自己在中學(xué)的時(shí)候聽得夠多了。我肯定漫畫書迷如今仍能聽到這話。

    8、"角色扮演游戲僅適于那些無法打理好生活的人。"-可惜的是，仍有許多幻想扮演D&D的任何人的人群必須寄居在父母的地下室，一個(gè)月洗一次澡。像這樣的人必須矯正，要立即矯正！

    7、"影片《加勒比海盜》是如此逼真！"-我不敢相信許多人居然相信這是真的，但這里卻列出了人們對(duì)海盜的大量誤解，因此你是永遠(yuǎn)無從得知的。

    6、"耶，我得到一臺(tái)360游戲機(jī)，我女兒可以玩凱蒂貓，這難道對(duì)別的東西不好嗎？"-我們已經(jīng)破壞了那些對(duì)我來說甚至連打字都困難的游戲機(jī)，現(xiàn)在、、、

    5、"Mac、Windows、Linux這3款操作系統(tǒng)真的各有所異嗎？"-這個(gè)爭論太過時(shí)了。我知道最初的版本初次很可能是用象形或圖畫文字記下的；但是我卻不知道它在哪個(gè)極客手上無法起效-包括我自己。

    4、"伊沃克族是《星球大戰(zhàn)三部曲》原著里的最佳人物。"/"葛瑞多先開槍。"-我無法決定這兩者孰是孰非。如果一方不是，我敢打賭另一個(gè)便是了。

    3、"托爾金嗎？呃，我更愛特里·布魯克斯。"-寫這話時(shí)，我差點(diǎn)要跟自己爭起來了。下面的兩大招我想讓它們自行發(fā)表言論了。

    2、"喬斯·溫登是黑客！"

    1、"我不覺得數(shù)字版權(quán)管理沒什么不好啊！"

    這10大妙招，當(dāng)然，絕不帶挑釁、
