There is actually a difference between a nerd and a geek.
And most people who know that, are nerds.

no, but I've been lightly poked fun at by my friends once in a while, but nobody I know usually cares for my computer knowledge, even at my college, the students at the computer science department don't have a clue about details, example; I was talking to guy about TF2 (who seemed to be the only one who was knowledgeable) and I mentioned anti-aliasing, and he asked me, 'What's that?' and he was completely unaware of the GF 9800 series too 'I thought the 8-Series was just released a few months ago...'
the best way to put it is that there's not much of a geek culture here in Montreal on the English side of things, it's mostly the French people who are the hardcore gamers and tech-junkies, if anything happens, all of it happens downtown too, the tech-shows, LAN parties, etc
my 'local geekery' consists of Yu-gi-Yoh and Naruto fan clubs or Super Smash Tournaments - not exactly my cup of tea XD

shoot, then I guess I have been socially screwed as well. I have been made fun of some, and those people who know about what I know, dont care that I know. I wish there were some geek shows, or tech shows, or LAN parties around here.. I would go all the time..

I know what you mean...
People seem to hate me when i rant on and on about comps
No one hates me for what I know, but I have learned to recognize the glazed-over eyes when i go too deep into a computer subject and how to recover the conversation accordingly.
It does get bothersome when people are constantly hitting me up for computer help. I don't mind helping anyone, but after the second time their computer is infested with spyware it gets beyond the point of annoyance.
