I have a BS in CS/Math/Physics and that's why the comic sucks. There's no art to speak of, no humor or emotion to speak of, and so all that's left are the "geek" references. Only the so-called geek references are so simplistic and poorly applied that it's obvious the author doesn't know anything about anything. He's just opening a book and grabbing a math problem or a physics term at random and shoving into the comic. It's like an ignorant layman's idea of what a geek reference should be.
Ok maybe this comic would be better for you.

Cracked.com is another inexplicable browser narcotic. They could write a list of '17 worst haircuts in the Ottoman Empire' and I'd read through to the end, then click on all the links at the end.


I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE! I do this exact same thing for both these sites.

I do that on Wikipedia too. I end up clicking on 4 other links on the page I'm reading. Then I'll find a bunch of other entries on those pages that I want to read. Next thing I know it's 3 hours later... :lol :lol

Funny thing is, he's already done a comic on that, too:

I recently caught up on all the XKCDs I'd missed. I really like this one:

I call rule 34 on Wolfram's rule 34.

I think that's actually my favorite.

not funny


Funny or not, it's true. Both my mom and my girlfriend's mom need to print it out and stick it somewhere on their desks. Pretty sick of being called for every single thing about computers for 7+ years.
 
I liked today's. It's the truth, i didn't laugh a lot, but it IS the truth.
Except usually what i do is go straight to google.
 
Idk, this comic is really random with quality. Sometimes it's just too fucking long and entirely unfunny, other times it's the best comic ever.

outstanding :lol
 
Doesn't really make sense since in the book's universe political debates between important figures had evolved so that the virtual realm was where they took place.
 
Holy hot damn -- click on it to see how intricate it is

The Primer one is great.
 
What the hell is going on with the 12 Angry Men one?
 
Right, but how come their own names are on the timelines twice?

Wow.

It's for visual reference, so the reader can follow who's who more easily. And here's something that will blow your mind: all the charts (except the Primer one) do the same thing!
