Indeed...

Rather disappointingly, I find myself firmly planted in the "Business" arena... LOL

I'd much rather the business approach.

200 lines of code isn't much.....

That's the point... it's such a complex problem but it only took 200 lines...

I think bageled is just jealous that he's not smart enough to know how to work a computer ;)


to be honest that statement is a more accurate reflection of XKCD itself than IT guys in general

In the future, before posting xckd comics please check this handy reference: http://www.isxkcdshittytoday.com/

People seem to think its the greatest thing since sliced bread but its pretty horrible really.
Half the comics are creepy pining over this megan chick (who is apparently a real person that he bombed out with) and the other half are 'lol I know math/science/computers look at how smart I am'
The humour is usually pretty lame, and there's not much to look at either especially compared to a lot of other webcomics that are drawn by obviously talented people.


http://xkcdsucks.blogspot.com/ is usually more entertaining than xkcd itself... as is goatkcd

I find it rather funny. the math/science/computers part is a key area of its humour
