OT: The Geek defense

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/23/AR2008022300693_pf.html

What I'd like to know is exactly HOW you can establish yourself as a Geek,

so you can claim this defence. If writing a file system for Linux is all 
it 
takes (a weekend's work for a COBOL programmer...), then there are a lot 
more Geeks around than many people may suppose.

Did he do it?  (Jo Brand, referring to O. J. Simpson: "Course he did it; 
he's a bloke...")

Thoughts?

Pete.
