I beg to differ:

The Open source geeks actually do something constructive with their
lives. Their software is used in 3rd world nations for noble causes.
I mean, perhaps in their own little worlds they're "Exploring new worlds and
new civilizations." and boldly going "where no one (man? ;-) has gone
before!"

Star Trek nuts are dorks. Open Source nuts are geeks. How do you
easily separate the dorks from the geeks? Geeks tend to make more money. ;-)
(of course there are exceptions) ...and they tend to know their Beer
and exotic foods, only purchase figurines if they involve Japanimation...
/and/, geeks tend to only dress up for SCA events. ;-)

Outlook is as attractive to email viruses as a heap of dead and rotting
cows is to a fly. So long as that maggot-filled pile of corpses is there,
swatting at the flies isn't going to work.
