Stolen from Facebook, since many people here hate FB nearly as much as Windows. I think we may need to create a similar photo to equally alienate a variety of microcontroller fanboys.

    Brilliant.

    Glad they did not put a date on the quote, "2001"

    By the way, it's odd how the meaning of "geek" has changed over the years. It used to mean something like "an enthusiast or expert especially in a technological field or activity" rather than some fan of fantasy fiction.

    Ah well.

    Would that Harry be Harry Callahan and the force referred to be Magnum Force???

    Actually it might offend five groups if you include Patrick Steward's role in X-Men.

    Nothing like being equal opportunity offenders.

    Steward? You just made it six!

    I would have thought that a Frenchman, Jean Luc Piccard, with a decidedly British accent might have set off those 100 Year's War geeks a while ago.

    Hmmm...Sir Patrick Stewart is as English as you can get. Never mind what alien race the Start Trek creators cast him as.
