Spotted - The Geekiest License Plates

Geeked by Geek 24 Geeks on 10 October, 2006 - 04:58.

"Alert! Geek spotted driving a Toyota Camry".  "No, I didn't have a geek scanner, he just had a license plate with 'MS-DOS' on his car", that's what James told us, when he sent us  the link with a geeky license plate.

So, we decided to do a little 'geeky license plate' spotting of our own and tag our favorites.  So, with out any wait, we present our  favorite geek license plates  starting from the obvious (via Flickr and thanks to all those who spotted them):

geek license plate

HTTP-COM license plate


binary license plate

HTTP license plate


(did you read live long and prosper?)


XML license plate




Away from Keyboard? :P

close your windows people!







and finally here's something to laugh a bit about

I use to have a license plate XWINDOW but then X-Windows was kind of going by the wayside.

Used to be I couldn't get enough of TechTV...now it seems I never watch it anymore. Don't like the changes myself either. Kudos on the plate though - it ruled in its time.

I had NTLDR since 2001. I don't think I ran into a single person who knew what it meant. When I told them it was often followed by a perplexed look and a ohhh...ok.

Since NTLDR is pretty well gone from Windows I changed it this year to 4VR JEDI. Still geeky :-)

...it does not conform to German plate standards (German plates are made up of a one to three letter long code for the area in which the car is registered, then a dash, then one or two letters and lastly, one to four digits.)
