A nibble (nybble) actually is a half-byte, but a byte is 8 bits, so a nibble is 4 bits, not 2.

The world I live in is one where knowing oct 31 = dec 25 means you might get an interview for one of the current openings in my department. In today's economy, that counts for something.

BTW, who do ya think is sticking around the office late and keeping the light on? It's the guy you call "dweeb" who can easily command six figures on either coast, who may very well still live with mom, and is still shy of his 30th b-day.

I didn't call it geeky.

I already have a job, and I'm not moving to any coast.

No one sticks around my office, and I don't call anyone dweeb. 6 figures means nothing if you're not happy, I'm happy, so I'd say I am as rich as anyone with 6 figs.

I'm 31, and have my own home.
