This article from the Times Online talks about how easy it is these days to get into the FOSS (free and open-source software) paradigm, even down to your operating system.
People whole know little or nothing about computers are easily running Linux and other open-source alternative software, showing that it's not just the domain of the über-geek anymore.
Speaking of which, I might soon be setting up a friend with Linux on his 3-year-old Windows laptop that's been getting a bit long in the tooth.

The Geek Code desperately needs updating, but in any case here's mine (as of 2010-02-28):
-----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK-----
Version: 3.12
GIT/MU d+(-) s:+>: a C++> ULXB++++$ L+++ M++ w--() !O !V P+ E---
W+++ N o++ K? PS PE++ Y+ PGP t !5 X- R- tv+@ b++ DI++++ D--- e*++

------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------
If you really care about knowing what that all means, you either know the code already, or you can get it decoded for you here.
