You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
geeks and nerds have become too co-opted by corporate interests. we need a new term to label social pariahs who focus chiefly on their hobbies and/or intellectual persuits

I remember when a "hack" was a felony offense that you did hard time for and not the sort of thing you would admit to in public.

just a few more years until the 90s are 30 years behind us. then it'll be time for a year or two of genuine strangeness before we're good for another 30.

Wikipedia says no

The original name - with its American English spelling of "color" - remained unchanged even in markets where "colour" was the accepted English spelling, such as the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand.

Does anyone buy one of those cool geeky crates that give you cool stuff like every month?

I have a geeky crate that's got a pacman keyring, a joker vinyl doll, a megaman helmet, and a star wars comic.

And they're all exclusive so they must be really valuable!
