You've heard of the "You know you're a geek when..." and the "You know you're a stupid computer user when..." threads, now here is the you know you're a masochist when thread! For anyone who doesn't know: a masochist is someone who likes to cause pain to themselves.
I'll start: YKYAMW someone mentions configureability, you think of programs which you have to recompile in order to change a setting. ;)
YKYAMW you buy Maple's DRM music and approve the restrictions. ;)
But that might be another thread "You know you're a Maple fanboy when..."
ykyamw, after years of windows usage, you switch to linux, and undergo all the torture and frustration of learning a different but superior os, and still love it :D
YKYAMW you do all of your web browsing in Lynx.
YKYAMW you change something in DWM just to see it compile again. :P
Ykyamw, you install Gentoo 2007 just to watch it update all them programs.

YKYAMW...
You like compiling programs which were made for old versions of make... just to fix them! :P

YKYAMW you keep resurrecting this topic only to have it die again. :(
You know you´re a masochist when you prefer windoze over linux/BSD/OSX.
YKYAMW you even consider using Slackware Linux in the modern age.
you hack in machine code...using a numbersystem you made up...involving 256 different characters
YKYAMW formatting ur hard disk again to ext4, after short jumping to Windows 7 :(
Wow.. If you had done this in the "necromancy thread" you would have earned a huge load of points!!
By the way, YKYAMW you still see your ex (and not conclude anything, of course) even if she's already found someone to replace you.
