I am somewhere between a pro (Computer Science major) and knowing what the GNU license is. I refuse to use Linux because of poor ATI graphics card driver support.

I've built my own computers, know many programming languages, have used both Linux and Windows, and I'm on my final year of a computer science major.

I'm probably about the same as banmenow in that I'm proficient but far from the best.

Not to mention the whole lack of general gaming support as a whole. I guess Wine is helping, but Linux still faces delays to implementation of certain games and lack of official support.

I use computer to play games and surf the net, -_- i m pretty good at C. I am definitely not a pro, i don't think i would (ever) solve a technical problem about computer, i only care about certain applications like MATLAB, Mathematica, and Maple, and use them to my advantage ( and i find graphing in Matlab superior to the other )

I know lots of little things about computers.
Which is good, because I'm a pro failure at using electronics.
So while I can keep my box happily humming along, don't ask me to do anything freaky with technology 🤢

I've considered myself a pro since the day one of the IT guys from my dad's office called me for help.

Voted "I know what the GNU is". I don't use linux enough to qualify for "Proud Linux User".

For those of you who voted "I'm a pro".

I am not prostrate. I am looking at the sky on the other side of Earth.

You should totally Join Vagrant Scans. No experience necessary.

You should also totally read this cool blog.

If that's the case, I fall in between the"A little bit" and "Hardware or software?" category

Sarcasm just doesn't work over the internet.

well compared to baka-updates community i'm a superpowerfull computer & Linux grey (not white nor black) wizard ^^ , but believe me i'm nothing against the godly RMS, Angelic "Linus Torvald" nor the Mighty Satan "Alan cox" 😀

Programmer...

I guess I'm just an expert at the first one. Though I know the basics, I just realized I can't stand using the computer when it comes to computer class. It's good that I didn't take up a com sci course, It'll kill me.

I just know the basics. Though I probably would kick the computer to fix it too.

...And why are there 4 Manicks?

Simply another normal human being...

I generally know what I'm doing (aka basics), but when something does go wrong it's time to press buttons, unplug & replug, kick things, and all that mother jazz. So I went with the good kick option.

Other for me because I do normal stuff on it as well as knowing how to get rid of viruses and upgrade parts of the PC, but I'm less knowledgeable on other things.

Just because someone's head was chopped off doesn't mean they're dead. That's just silly.

I don't buy that being a CS major makes you a pro*. I've encountered plenty of people in CS who are somewhere between "basics/call a pro" and "kick" who know what a GNU license is. Lots of the theorists try to get out of coding as much as possible, and a good chunk are really mathematicians and logicians. I'm not bad (I know my way around linux/mac/windows, got to play with Solaris at an architecture conference, modify open src. python projects when they break my code, know a couple programming languages, have taken apart almost every type of computer, am tech support for my family, etc) but am in awe of manick 'cause I don't know much about web dev.

*My undergrad was in computer engineering and just started a phd in CS, so my sample set is pretty large for making this judgment.

String be args!

Which language?

Also coding at the moment. Prolog for the win-I think CS professors get a kick out of using semi-obscure languages for any class that's not totally applied (think web programming or design lab.)
