Geeks, as a general rule, are pretty easy-going. We like to think things through, so passionate confrontations aren't commonplace for us. When we get well and truly provoked, though, watch out! We won't stop talking until every last point that we can think of has been made at least twice. So, what do you say to provoke a geek? Glad you asked…

    10. "No real programmer would ever use PHP."

    - This won't work for every geek, of course, but for those it works on, it should work really well.

    9. "Comic books are just for kids!"

    - I'm sure you've heard this one before-I know I certainly heard it often enough in high school, and even though it's even less true now than it was then, I'm sure comic book afficionados still hear it today.

    8. "Role-playing games are just for people who can't deal with real life."

    - There are, sadly, still a lot of people who think anyone who plays D&D must live in his parents' basement and bathe once a month. Such people must be put straight, and immediately!

    7. "The Pirates of the Caribbean movies are so realistic!"

    - I doubt many people actually believe this, but there are an awful lot of misconceptions about pirates out there, so you never know.

    6. "Yeah, I got an Xbox 360 so my daughter could play Hello Kitty games. Is it really good for anything else?"

    - We've hit the ones that are hard for me even to type, now…

    5. "Mac, Windows, or Linux? Does it really make a difference?"

    - An argument so old its original form was probably first written down in hieroglyphs, I know, but I don't know a single geek it wouldn't work on-myself included.

    4. "The Ewoks were the best thing about the original Star Wars trilogy." / "Greedo shot first!" - I couldn't decide between the two. If one doesn't work, I'll bet the other one would.

    3. "Tolkien? Ehhh, I prefer Terry Brooks!"

    - I almost feel like I should argue with myself just for writing that. I'm going to let the top two stand for themselves.

    2. "Joss Whedon is a hack!"

    1. "I don't see what's so bad about DRM!"

    Top ten lists, of course, are never provocative…

    一般而言，极客都十分随和。我们喜欢全面、彻底地考虑事情，因此，激情对峙对我们来说就不再习以为常了。但是，当我们的的确确被激怒时，请防着点！我们所能想出的最后一点不至少重复两次我们是不会善罢甘休的。因此，你会用些什么话来激怒一个极客呢？很高兴你问了、、、

    10、"真正的程序员不曾使用过代码。"-这话不适于每个极客。当然，但对受PHP影响的那些人还是凑效的，应当真的凑效。liuxuepaper.com
