I downvoted this and another comment further up for not being about anything but nerd pandering, which I feel is just ego-boosting noise. Not the type of content I want to see on here.
Well, if you think the quote doesn't say significantly more than "nerds are great" you are right to downvote it.
I think the comment in this thread would have been equally relevant and possibly better without the last sentence, but don't see how the Cryptonomicon quote (which I assume to be the one you meant?) as nerd-pandering, since it doesn't imply value judgments from it about being or identifying as a nerd.
The Cryptonomicron quote was great, I was talking about its child comment.
