Finally someone gets it right. 🙂

“Both Geeks and Nerds are dedicated to their subjects, and sometimes socially awkward. The distinction is that GEEKS ARE FANS of their subjects, and NERDS ARE PRACTITIONERS of them.

“A computer geek might read Wired and tap the Silicon Valley rumor-mill for leads on the next hot-new-thing, while a computer nerd might read CLRS and keep an eye out for clever new ways of applying Dijkstra’s algorithm. Note that, while not synonyms, they are not necessarily distinct either: many geeks are also nerds (and vice versa).”
