When I look into your eyes, I see JPEG artifacts. I can tell by the pixels that we're wrong for each other.

Even the identity matrix doesn't work normally

Wikipedia's role as brain-extension, while a little troubling, is also really cool.

10/24/2007 9:29:20 AM

Jesus Christ, that's disturbing

10/24/2007 11:13:50 AM

That track ('Battle Without Honor or Humanity') -- like 'Ride of the Valkyries' -- improves *any* activity.

11/2/2007 11:52:00 PM

emo and techgeek don't go well together. Those comics are kind of lame.

11/3/2007 12:09:20 AM

i agree, the emo comics are pretty lame. but they all ring so, so true.

11/3/2007 12:10:58 AM

^ maybe that's why they irk me so much.

11/3/2007 12:32:08 AM

meh, this never struck me as emo.


when I think emo I think whiny middle class kids listening to shallow self-pity music. xkcd is at least witty and observant.

11/3/2007 9:09:43 AM

^ It is often witty and observant which is what makes the emo ones all the more lame.

They are very simplistic and shallow.

basically, it's just like "boo hoo the stereotypical nerd tries to view love in the scope of math/science/engineering." Not witty at all. Just predictably pathetic.

11/3/2007 11:01:22 PM

I'll buy that.


I don't know that I totally agree, but I'll buy it.

11/3/2007 11:04:41 PM

it's a webcomic, sirs. lighten up.

11/3/2007 11:17:45 PM

But the past was much too cramped!

11/5/2007 1:30:50 AM

11/9/2007 12:05:33 AM

I like that one

11/9/2007 12:06:00 AM

If you're not cool enough to do it manually, you can look up tools like Upside-Down-Ternet for playing games with people on your wifi.

Can't believe you forgot the rollover text for those.

Trivia: Elaine is actually her middle name.

I once asked an NSA guy whether they'd broken RSA. And I know I can trust him, because I asked if he was lying to me and he said no.

Mrs. Roberts would have gotten up sooner, of course, but she was busy piping find ~ and find ~nomad into xargs shred, just in case.

This digital music thing will probably reach its endgame sometime in the next decade or so. These are very exciting times.

11/17/2007 11:22:08 AM

The cola+Mentos trick is up there with corn starch+water (vibrating platter optional) in scientific coolness out of common kitchen supplies.

He made a ball pit in his living room instead of getting a new couch, brilliant!!!

Quote :

" * In Part 2, Elaine and Dr. Knuth are not competing to calculate the time-complexity of a known algorithm. They’re each trying to develop an algorithm to solve a particular problem. His “lower bound” comment is referring to his lower bound on how fast the problem can be solved (akin to saying “the lower bound on comparison sorts is n log n”), and she proves him wrong with her counterexample. * In the interest of time-continuity, panel #2 in the same strip is a montage showing the two children at different times. Bobby is quite a bit younger than Elaine (although he doesn’t strictly have to be — “drop table” has been in the SQL standard since at least the start of the 90’s). * Nick Oliver writes in to suggest that Elaine should have played in the band Perl Jam. * By 2002, Richard Stallman had grown frustrated with the direction of the blogosphere’s construction. He detached his airship and took it to parts unknown. * Upside-Down-Ternet is here. It seems to me that you could do an awful lot of pranks with it — turning everything upside down is just the beginning. "

That ball pit is awesome.

Didn't feel like checking to see if these had been posted. Rollover for caption.

11/20/2007 2:35:01 PM

lol @ the wii one

it's so true

11/20/2007 4:11:39 PM

The TI-86 was bad enough. I don't know how I'd have gotten through high school if I'd had a laptop+wifi.



We should probably talk about this before the wedding.

40% of OpenBSD installs lead to shark attacks. It's their only standing security issue.

11/26/2007 9:22:14 AM

This describes me in a lot of instances.
