This is the revenge of the nerds. Thankfully, it is possible for us to escape our nerd-inflicted fates. I've been trying to do this by keeping my classmates level-headed. For example, whenever one of them throws a temper tantrum, I chuck some Star Trek figurines at him and reassure him that it's only 1's and 0's. That usually calms him down, but Star Trek is only a temporary solution.
Nerds are a natural resource.
We need to show them kindness and understanding. S ean McBride actually does like computers very much, except for when they don't work, which seems to be every moment of his waking life.
