Why are techies always seen as geeks?
 

Once again, watching Hotel Babylon and a group of techies turn up and are portrayed as geeks.

Geeks are human too!!!!

Give us the respect we deserve.

Thank you

I thought that it was one of the best programs of the moment. Quite decent storylines and believeable to boot.

I enjoy a bit of sci fi from time to time but not my favourite genre by a long way.

Dont know the answer to your question but have you got the Kororaa Xgl Live CD 0.1?
The desktop cube and wobbly windows are great :-)

"The Kororaa project has released a live CD demonstrating the new Xgl technology for 3D window manipulation and other unusual effects: "Today I am happy to release a Kororaa live CD showcasing Xgl technology. If you would like to find out what it's all about, then download the CD and boot up your PC! The Live CD comes with X.Org 7.0, GNOME 2.12.2, 3D support and of course Xgl.
