Dress: d-@
I'm usually in jeans and a t-shirt.
    Varying wildly on this topic.
Shape: s-:+
I look up to most people.
I'm a little rounder than most.
Age: a---
I'm between 15 and 19.
Computers: C++++>---
I'll be the first in line to get the new cybernetic interface installed into my skull.
    ... but I'd like to be ...
If you even mention computers, I will rip your head off!
Unix: UL+++>$
Linux:
I don't need to crack /etc/passwd because I just modified su so that it doesn't prompt me. The admin staff doesn't even know I'm here. If you don't understand what I just said, this category does NOT apply to you.
    I'd like to be making money at this.
Perl: P++++$>---
I don't write Perl, I speak it. Perl has superseded all other programming languages. I firmly believe that all programs can be reduced to a Perl one-liner. I use Perl to achieve U+++ status.
    I'm making money at this.
    ... but I'd like to be ...
Perl combines the power of sh, the clarity of sed, and the performance of awk with the simplicity of C. It should be banned.
Linux: L++(-)
    I range from ...
I use Linux ALMOST exclusively on my system. I've given up trying to achieve Linux.God status, but welcome the OS as a replacement for DOS. I only boot to DOS to play games.
    ... to ...
I have no desire to use Linux and frankly don't give a rats patootie about it. There are other, better, operating systems out there. Like Mac, DOS, or Amiga-OS. Or, better yet even, would be another free Unix OS like FreeBSD.
Emacs: E----
Emacs sucks! pico forever!!!
Web: W+++$>--
I am a WebMaster. Don't even think about trying to view my homepage without the latest version of Netscape. When I'm not on my normal net connection, I surf the web using my Newton and a cellular modem.
    I'm making money at this.
    ... but I'd like to be ...
A pox on the Web! It wastes time and bandwidth and just gives the uneducated morons a reason to clutter the Internet.
Usenet: !N
I don't use Usenet.
Usenet Oracle: o?
What's the Usenet Oracle?
Kibo: K?
What's Kibo?
Windows: w--->?
Windows has set back the computing industry by at least 10 years. Bill Gates should be drawn, quartered, hung, shot, poisoned, disembowelled, and then REALLY hurt.
    ... but I'd like to be ...
What's Windows?
OS/2: !O
I don't use OS/2.
Macintosh: M++$
I am a mac guru. Anything those DOS putzes and Unix nerds can do, I can do better, and if not, I'll write the damn software to do it.
    I'm making money at this.
VMS: !V
I don't use VMS.
Politics-Social: PS++>$
I give to liberal causes. I march for gay rights. I'm a card carrying member of the ACLU. Keep abortion safe and legal.
    I'd like to be making money at this.
Politics-Economic: PE-
It's ok to increase government spending, so we can help more poor people. Tax the rich! Cut the defense budget!
Cypherpunks: Y+(++)
    I range from ...
I have an interest and concern in privacy issues, but in reality I am not really all that active or vocal.
    ... to ...
I am on the cypherpunks mailing list and active around Usenet. I never miss an opportunity to talk about the evils of Clipper and ITAR and the NSA. Orwell's 1984 is more than a story, it's a warning to ours and future generations. I'm a member of the EFF.
PGP: PGP>+++
I've used it, but stopped long ago.
    ... but I'd like to be ...
I don't send or answer mail that is not encrypted, or at the very least signed. If you are reading this without decrypting it first, something is wrong. IT DIDN'T COME FROM ME!
Trek: !t
I don't watch Star Trek.
Babylon 5: !5
I don't watch Babylon 5.
X-Files: !X
I don't watch X-Files.
Roleplaying: R-
Gosh, what an utter waste of time.

_Unknown television code tv--_
    I'm making money at this.
Books: b++++(+)>$
    I range from ...
I read a book a day. I have library cards in three states. I have discount cards from every major bookstore. I've ordered books from another country to get my Favorite Author Fix.
    ... to ...
I enjoy reading, but don't get the time very often.
    I'd like to be making money at this.
Dilbert: DI++++(!)
    I range from ...
I've received mail from Scott Adams. I'm in the DNRC (Dogbert's New Ruling Class).
    ... to ...
I don't read Dilbert.
DOOM!: D--
It's an overly-violent game and pure crap.
Geek: G>G--
