The way that I understand it best is:

x = 0.999..
10x = 9.999..
10x - x = 9.999.. - 0.999..
9x = 9
x = 1

Since we assumed that x = 0.999.., and have shown that x = 1, it must be the case that 0.999.. = 1

What about other fields where the men are equally geeky, into science fiction, and play video games? The stereotype covered in this article is hardly limited to the realm of computer science.
