極客力量

In this article， I’d like to acknowledge the

1)unsung heroes also known as Geeks. From his book Leading Geeks， Paul Glen defines them (…uh， us) as “the highly intelligent， usually 2)introverted， extremely valuable， independent-minded， hard-tofind， difficult-to-keep technology workers who are essential to the future of the organization.” Another characteristic of Geeks， according to Glen is that they’ve got lots of love， caffeine， 3)carbohydrates， and 4)saturated fat.

Maybe it is no surprise that these workers are hiding in data centers， heads down developing websites， or fixing problems on laptops—drinking Red Bull and eating pizza， of course. Yesterday’s Geeks are 5)masquerading today as 6)CIOs， 7)CTOs， or some flavor of manager or executive (before Red Bull it was coffee or 8)Mountain Dew and pizza). And what of this thing called programming? Who does it now? Well， Geeks did and they still do!

1) unsung [???????] adj. 未贊頌的

2) introverted [????????????] adj. 內(nèi)向的，含蓄的

3) carbohydrate [????????????????] n. 碳水化合物

4) saturated [????????????] fat 飽和脂肪酸，一種遇冷即會凝結(jié)的油脂，會令血液中的低密度脂蛋白膽固醇水平上升

Geeks are people who deliver technology innovations no matter what era you are from. When you find them， give them a hug. You may in fact wonder if you are a Geek. Here are some clues (feel free to add more). You know you’re a Geek if…

…you see the world in 13)4K pages.

…you have an iPhone， a BlackBerry， an iPad， a laptop， a PC， and a Mac.

…you know what 14)thrashing is and believe it is inherently evil.

…you know what 15)ASP， 16)HASP， and 17)JES are but can’t remember your kids’ names.

…you loved geometry and hated the 18)prom.

…you can’t remember phone numbers but you remember IP addresses.

…you use the terms “19)do loop” and“20)no op” in non-technical contexts.

極客是那些開創(chuàng)技術(shù)改革的人，無論他來自于什么時代。如果你遇到他們，請給他們一個擁抱。你或許也懷疑自己是不是極客。這里有一些提示（歡迎補充）。如果你是個極客，那么……

……在你的眼里，世界都是以4K解析度頁面呈現(xiàn)的。

……你有一部iPhone手機、黑莓手機、iPad、手提電腦、個人電腦和蘋果電腦。

……你知道什么是系統(tǒng)顛簸，并認(rèn)為它天生邪惡。

……你知道什么是ASP、HASP和JES，卻記不住自己孩子的名字。

……你喜歡幾何學(xué)，卻討厭畢業(yè)舞會。

……你記不住電話號碼，卻記得IP地址。

……你會在非技術(shù)語境中使用“循環(huán)語句”和“無作業(yè)”。

還有更多嗎？
