After reading this, I realised perhaps I had commited this most heinous of criminal acts.
I went to elaborate lengths (the library computer system erased my loan record and I never returned the books) to steal some linguistics books from a library. I feel somewhat lame.
Have you commited nerdcrime? What did you do? |

I'll confess. When I was 13, with my nerdcrime instigating friend, we swapped price tags on a book to get it half-price. The book?
A strategy guide for Sid Meier's Civilization.

I was also thrown out of a game shop, with the threat of the police being called if I came back, for attempting to swap prices labels on a RPG sourcebook.
I was 11. |

Sid Meier and Civilization are classics, so that is forgivable  |

Once my old roommate's computer, where I was getting net access from at the time, turned off or rebooted or something, making me lose my net connection. I immediately used a credit card to unlock his door. Then I guessed his screensaver password, found out that the version of WinSOCK he was using to give me net access had expired, downloaded a crack, installed it, and got my internet back in the space of about 45 minutes.
I guess that counts as nerdcrime. |

I worked in a softwhere firm and one of my buddies went to the bathroom. I opened up his email program and changed his reply name from his real name to : I'm fritz, I'm gay, and proud of it.
The MIS guy did not think it was funny. |

Ah, this reminds me of a time back in the day before the Internet blew up. People were using BBSes, which as you may remember were based out of one person's computer and limited to one or sometimes two or three users at a time. One of the most popular ones in my area was called The Limerick's Cube and it was operated by a gay man. I was angry at my friend, so I logged on with his account and wrote a PM to the sysop disparaging him for his homosexuality. My friend got a call the next day from a very angry, lisping sysop, who informed him that he had connections in the Polk County BBS community and would get my friend banned from them all. Of course, that never came to pass, because the only connections he had were at Saddle Creek Park behind the tall shrubs. |

I'm speechless with rage! 
Actually, I don't have a presence over there. I did, same the one I used to have here, but it's locked, the same as the one I used to have here. Anyway, there is only one true Zoidberg, who can be indentified by the fact that Zoidberg rarely gets enough respect to be called "doctor".
Thanks for the headsup though. |

Gee, you fail the nerd test. A pocket protector is a white plastic sheet/pen holder for nerd's dress shirt pockets. It protects the shirt if one of the pen leaks. |

| Most of my lifes crimes have been Nerdcrimes. While working at...well, lets call it "Farms and Royals Booksellers", I read a store copy of a Star Wars series until it was scrapped as damaged. And workers can take home defective items, so...I also took demo disks from video game magazines. I stole a Yo-Yo from Fred Meyers. I'm sure I did other things while working for Software Etc, but its just to much to delve into. Now that I catalog these crimes, I feel like both a bigger nerd and thief than before. I'm glad I'm married and my wife accepts (if mocks) my InNerd. |
