While subtle to the untrained eye, there are clear distinctions between geeks, dorks, and nerds. Often, it takes learning the demarcation of the three by example rather than definition.
In this manner, I present "Name that nerd!"
Rules are simple:
You post an example of each - a nerd, a geek, a dork.
I'll start
Nerd: Star Trek - Original series fan
Geek: Star Trek - Deep Space 9 Fan
Dork: Star Trek - Voyager fan
Now, your turn!

Nerds : Wear black framed glasses
Geeks : Wears fragile, almost broken in the middle glasses with 3/4 parting gelled hair
Dorks : Wears glasses taped in the middle, center parting gelled hair, at least 10 pens in their shirt pocket and they laugh like steve urkle

Nerd: Never bought a whole computer, bought the single parts, and is messing it with a screwdriver all the time. The case is permanently open.
Geek: Uses a self made operating system (definitely more powerful than all the standard ones). If not, there's a very high chance he/she is a Mac user.
Dork: Bought a computer unnecessarily too powerful, the state of the art, with a huge HD. Usually runs out of disk space in a few months. Often needs help by someone of the other two categories to use the computer properly.
