    Take the test and show your score

    Go to www.nerdtests.com then post your score. Don't cheat and use google.

    I got all the questions on the test right, not sure if thats good or bad though...

    Can't visit the site. The Linux router is dropping the connection before it even begins to load due to malware embedded in JavaScript. I'll have to get that sorted and then try the test if it really isn't infected.

    EDIT: To save me the trouble of running to the router to access a command line to "Fix" the issue I took a look at My Web of Trust. Others seem to report Malware as well so it isn't my router giving a false positive.

    Looks as if their webmaster needs to fix that.

    There is no malware on the site, and the only javascript on the page is from google's webmaster tools. (I checked the source code) There is something in your setup that is mistaken.

    If you want to block google analytics and other tools, I suggest you edit your hosts file. Or disallow connections from external servers when you visit a webpage. (that might affect pictures on some pages, but you could make a white list with flickr, imageshack, etc)

    I'll take a look to see what is going on with it. What I run on the router is still a work in progress and of course, does bug up at times. Have to do it via command line as at the moment I do not have a full GUI installed (last time I updated the OS, I removed the GUI) to it and there is no HTTP interface. PuTTY won't work as it doesn't answer to such requests.

    It says,
    17% scored higher (more nerdy),
    1% scored the same, and
    82% scored lower (less nerdy).
    What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

    High-Level Nerd. You are definitely MIT material, apply now!!!


    How do you find such nerdy sites

    No, there's malware afoot in them parts. There's a drive-by download (HTML/Framer) in at least one of the rotating ads, since the warning only comes up on some page loads, not all. (I have a "sacrificial lamb" machine that I use specifically for visiting sites people tell me they're having problems with.) As much as I hate and despise virus writers, I think I hate people who accept indiscriminate advertising from third parties even more.

    What does this mean? Your nerdiness is:

    Low Ranking Nerd. Definitely a nerd but low on the totem pole of nerds.
    Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can’t be done.

    Definitely not nerdy, you are probably cool.

    Probably so high because I said I use 'other' for a browser because I'm on my iPod.
