Maybe this one had more OS X/Unix questions, because I too scored lower than last year.  I think that I only got 31 and just barly made it into the Colonel Panic.

I really like have these quizes though.  They make MA more fun I'd have to say.  Keep it up

Colonel Panic just like last year! Looks
like Terminal geek will have to wait maybe to next year.

This year's was harder - no doubt about it. IIRC, I got 52 or 53. And then 1 of 5 on ubergeek. I agree it was the extra Unix (TM)  questions that were the toughest. Well, that and I said Max was the least likely to crash Jobs' plane. How can a cartoon character crash a plane? I guess I missed the latest issue of "Stalker Update" to know that Jen Mo is a pilot.

Wow -- I guess I'm in the minority. I (still) hold my rank at a Terminal Geek.  Last year I was Carbon-Dated too. Lessee - last year I got 52/60, this year I got 47/60.

I also put    as the one who wouldn't crash the Gulfstream V. Then I read it was JenMo - OOPS.

Oh well. How'd everyone else do?

Ah! Got it. The G5 has 3 million fewer transistors than a P4. Do I get an extra point for guessing that Rik got that number from this page?

Last year, I was on the low end of Terminal Geek, but I got all 5 Carbon Dated questions. This year I got 55/60 and 4

i was driving up from burbank to emeryville, CA to stay the week and decided to stop at apple's hq in cupertino.  i remembered the bar question and saw the building it evidently was in.  it's now a BJ's, one of my favorite pizza places ever, so i ate there (btw, if anyone goes there, the great white pizza is GREAT).
now, i'm in emeryville (right across the street from the apple store).  hey, is niko still up for iPod engraving.

Weird...OK, I'll check again.

Still a Terminal Geek. Scored a 52 this year.

Didn't do very well on the Ubergeek section though. Only scored 2/5. As a CS guy though I've always been more of a software geek than a hardware geek.

52 baby!  Total Terminal Geek here!  Should have had 53... I answered 'E' to question 39, which I thought was a perfectly legitimate answer to a math question.

You referring to that awful conversions one?

Yay Google

Now, now. You didn't use www.google.com during the quiz did you? That would have been strictly verboten according to the instructions.
