Anyway the unit has a very active message board to complement the class and I just act like the little bitch I am, upsetting them all. It's the best fun ever. I've found a few things nearly always hit a nerve and get them going. And here I'll share them with you.
Call WoW players losers.
Openly deride Firefox
Claim that opensource software are cheap imitations of better products, placing emphasis on Linux.
Explain that no one could give a damn about flash animation.
Champion iPods.
Show great enthusiam for anything that isn't games, graphics cards or anime.
Suggest that someone mustn't have attended the lecture if they didn't know simple facts.
The last one really get's people going, nerds must be the only demographic that thinks it's cool to rock up to lectures.
So which of these offends any of you? I'll rub it in for you

I hate those flash pages with the repetitive music and wallpapered backgrounds, only someone with autism could find them remotely funny.

Openly deriding Firefox is easy these days too. Basically Opera is better in every way except ease of use. In fact I think Firefox gets worse with every release, Mozilla runs faster than it these days.

I think 'ease of use' is a big deal, don't you? But yeah, none of thsoe things are very offensive to me personally. I only champion Firefox over IE, so no harm, no foul.

1. Praise Microsoft products. or
2. Say you prefer the Special Editions of Star Wars.
Though I'd like to point out the irony of a bunch of guys posting on a videogame forum making fun of nerds.
