A boy or girl in the adolescent stage where their IQ is high and their social level low. They often refuse to conform, have many geek friends and are strong in numbers (beware!)
They are very underappreciated and are the leading buyers of pocket protectors nationwide.

Dorks beat off in their mother's basement while the laundry machine is going loud enough that she will never hear.

A person who fills the sterotypes generally surrounding one knowledgeable about computers (considers video games a way of life, watches sci-fi etc.) but does not necessarily have that knowledge. A nerd is always a social reject. The term nerd differs from geek in that a geek has knowledge regarding computing or other cutting edge technology, but is not necessarily a social reject. A geek may prefer to communicate over the internet (not making them a social reject - infact they often have more contact with their friends than other groups), while a nerd has difficulty in forming any friends or communicating in a social way atall. Geeks are often (unfairly) confused with nerds.
If you feel nerds are in some way better than geeks just think: how many people have you heard admitting to being a geek? now compare this to the number of people declaring themselves nerds.
Oh - I agree that yes, Mr. Gates is a nerd. Have any or you promoting nerds ever heard of an operating system called 'Linux'? I think you'll find its generally more reliable, secure and controllable than windows - particularly the more recent versions (2K and XP). It does however require a higher degree of intellect to operate successfully than windows, which I feel furthers my point.
There is such a thing as an aspiring geek, who, though lacking the intellectual prowess of geeks in general, realise that there is more to computers than writing word documents and playing games. Often these aspiring geeks will develop into a full geek.

'I'm a geek' - said with pride
'He's a nerd' - used in an insulting manner
'I'm a nerd' - when have you ever heard this used?!
