CS majors are a strange bunch. We have the geeks, the phreaks, the creeps and the meeps.
The geeks just like computers because they are fun. The geeks love to mess around with the computers, and have some form of a social life, in their own little geeky way. Funny geek talk usually follows directly from their lexicon.
The phreaks are the geeks who are so deep into their craft that they kind of lost touch with some of their social skills. At times, they can be found camping out in computer clusters, practically eating, living and sleeping there.
The creeps are phreaks gone bad; they frequent 4chan and other internet cesspools for so long that they start reeking and sound like some random /b/-tard speaking. They talk creepily, walk creepily and laugh creepily, that is of course if they actually leave the cluster in the first place.
The meeps are geeks who have turned to the dark side of money—they are not too deep into their craft but want the quick cash through business. Needless to say, these folks are usually among the most mediocre of all the CS majors, simply because they focus on the business too early. Most of the great IT heroes/businessmen didn't start off with messing with business—they just start with a good piece of code that represents a good idea, and then running with it and eventually turning it into a company of sorts. This is why the dot-com burst came about; meeps tried to to think of the business too early, without having enough of their tech ideas set up properly.
So which group am I in? That's for me to know, and for you to find out.
