Igor asks:
OK, I am a foreigner. Can anyone explain me what the word "geek" means and what are the origins of this word?
Originally, it referred to a carnival sideshow character who killed chickens by biting off their heads. It now means a social misfit, and we all know that computer programmers have no normal life. Don't ask why I'm online at 10 PM Friday night. Martin.
