Actually, my major was Electrical Engineering. I would think one of the defining traits of being a geek is avoiding the unecessary. When it comes to an OS, the overwhelming philosopy is "If its not a necessary feature, get rid of it." I'm sorry if I find the SO's uptime or kernel version a completely unecessary relationship feature. Things like actually enjoying the other person's company in the absence of any technological gadget would be a good start.
