NerdyThingsThatAreSexy

List of nerdy things that are sexy. Feel free to add your own:

• Doing everything on command line
  • Is that a | sed | sort | uniq pipeline or are you just happy to see me?
    • unzip ; strip ; touch ; finger ; mount ; more ; yes ; umount ; sleep
      • You forgot LaTeX(1). (Careful, kids - always practice safe hex!)
• CRCs
• "Hey, you wanna blitz my balls?"
• Parallel processing with dual-cores
  • After graduation, I'm now doing this on thousands of 12-core nodes, all at the same time. It's like a concurrency orgy! -- PhilMiller
• Using LaTeX for everything
  • One might say "Doing it in LaTeX," even.
• Side-effect free languages
• Operating a Cyclotron
• Perl
  • Lies! Python is clearly superior in this regard, what with it being a phallic symbol and all.
    • Do you really want us to get into the details of the potential sexual symbolism behind a pearl?
    • And you're saying there isn't sexual symbolism to a python?
      • However, since Python is a strictly superior language, it belongs more
• Mathematics
  • Funny Story: I fell in love with my first GirlFriend when she easily solved an integral I had been stuck on for days
• PhilMiller
  • Should PhilMiller and HannahHoersting remain on this page? They have already been added to NerdyPeopleThatAreSexy.
• Techno remixes of video game songs
  • Remixes of video game songs, in general
    • Dale North's [SwinginPornoMix]. But not Shael Riley's [Music of My Groin], sorry Shael.
  • The Mario theme, remixed or otherwise
• Rikku
• Multiple flat screen monitors
• A third of the things in the comic xkcd.com
• Thick rimmed glasses
• James Bond's car
  • James Bond
  • Smart Bond girls
    • Arguably also people.
• HannahHoersting
  • HannahHoersting is a person, not a thing. The same may or may not apply to PhilMiller.
    • Probably not.
    • Maybe we should start NerdyPeopleThatAreSexy?
    • I'm not sure either counts as a person. I suppose that wouldn't stop them from being sexy.
• Rez, complete with Trance Vibrator
  • [You have no idea]
• Nuclear Reactors
  • The Cherenkov Effect (prettiest color of blue, ever)
• Nose bleeds
• White, pasty skin
• Malnourished skinniness
  • Makes me think of scary supermodels, myself, but whatever floats your boat...
• Noether's Theorem
  • Ding!
• Celestia
• Enthusiasm about GoodIdeas/BadIdeas
• TimeSuckX
• World domination
• Integral tables
• Unabridged kan'ji dictionaries
  • "Compact" kanji dictionaries that are still the size and weight of a brick
• Multiple compy's, working or not
  • It should be noted that the law of diminishing returns applies here
• Making your conversation sound like a mathematical proof
• "Peotry"
• Using prepositions properly
  • Using apostrophes properly
• Alienware computers
• Lab coats
• Live CDs
• Clean rooms
  • Why are clean rooms nerdy?
    • Silly, silly you. Not a clean room as in "go clean your room". A clean room as in "A room that is maintained free of contaminants, such as dust or bacteria. Clean rooms are used in laboratory work and in the production of precision parts for electronic or aerospace equipment. Also called: white room. ("clean room." The American HeritageŽ Science Dictionary. Houghton Mifflin Company. 30 Aug. 2007. <Dictionary.com http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/clean room>.)" Does that sound more nerdy?
• Not plagiarizing
  • I'd hate to think not plagiarizing was terribly nerdy... really that should just be common decency.
• Bode plots
  • you're kidding
• Outdated comments on FunWiki
• Portal
  • Portal porn, on the other hand, very much does not qualify as sexy.
    • I disagree. With a portal gun and a narrow enough hallway, you can follow through on someone's desire for you to Go Fuck Yourself.
      • And this is not already on WhyGodWhyWouldYouWriteThat why?
    • [Weighted Companion Cube/Turret OTP.] (Only NSFW if you think about it too hard.)
• Nanocrystals
