Well,
actually, that's a point of contention. Some people assign meanings as you do, but others assign doctorsleep's meanings. KATG seems to equate nerds with the comic books and all that con culture. There's also a famous quote about geeks vs nerds: "geeks get it done." Comp sci majors often refer to themselves as "computer geeks", as well as the obvious thinkgeek.com and Geek Squad.
Personally, I don't care what I'm called as long as I don't get lumped in with the Con people.
