Pops as good as the real one. - nofrak1, on 10/10/2007, -11/+188Look, the website is xkcd.com . It's hilarious. read the whole damn thing. But there's no reason to submit each and every one to digg, especially the older ones that I keep seeing (yes, I know this is today's).
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+138I use PHP.
8( - newanalog, on 10/10/2007, -2/+126That would be more like you coming into the office in swim trunks:
Boss: "Why haven't you been at work this week?"
You: "I'm setting up a workstation."
Boss: "So...why haven't you been at work?"
You: "It's a Gentoo workstation."
Boss: "Oh."
You: "I'm just dropping by on my way to the beach to start the KDE install."
Boss: "Good. I guess we'll see you again in a few days."
You: "Yeah. Hey..."
Boss: "What?"
You: "Surfs Up Dude!"
Boss: "Get this guy a raise! He's hilarious!" - xkcd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+110No, no, keep digging your favorites! I love getting links to that comic! Wait, *****, can you guys see my username?
I could probably put a stop to it all by putting in some entertaining redirects for links from digg.com. Getting more readers is nice and everything, but I spend most of my time over on reddit, and I think we're supposed to have some sort of rivalry with you guys. DANCE FIGHT! - coffeebot, on 10/10/2007, -1/+108i click Manic Mode and try to guide my cursor thru the maze w/o popping. (i'm in ur bubble wrap subverting its purpose)

My friend did this just recently, idea courtesy of that xkcd - simpleid, on 10/10/2007, -2/+70Must have more!
- Rahodeb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+52They need to add a foot stomp tool.
- Shorties, on 10/10/2007, -0/+51This applies to video editors too:
"Hey Get Back To Work"
"Rendering"
"Oh Carry On!" - Phocion55, on 10/10/2007, -13/+61That's why my primary distro of choice is Gentoo! :)
- crpietschmann, on 10/10/2007, -4/+47http://xkcd.com/249/
- chrisc262, on 10/10/2007, -1/+44manic mode FTW
- sirber, on 10/10/2007, -2/+38he ment in gentoo you ahve to compile everything, so it's long. Did you at least understand the joke?
- Tyorant, on 10/10/2007, -1/+36I read this comic this morning and thought "This will so be on digg."
- loconet, on 10/10/2007, -1/+27Except of course the real xkcd genius comes around here as randall! You impostor, reddit user, I hope you divide by 0 in your sleep tonight.
- loconet, on 10/10/2007, -3/+29See, while I agree with you, that's the "beauty" of user generated content. It has a mind of its own. And judging by the number of diggs these "stories" get, that mind disagrees with both, you and i. That is why i gave up complaining about things like this and just ignore them.
- h4ppydotcom, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26Just click "fresh sheet" :)
I feel strangely soothed. - wes00mertes, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26"Are you stealing those LCD's?" "Yeah but I'm doing it while my code compiles"
-Hover your mouse pointer over the picture for a bit to see another line of xkcd- - K3ITHK, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23Digg should have a webcomic section that works like the Podcasts section.
- Nougat, on 10/10/2007, -1/+22http://xkcd.com/240/
Notice that the coords in that one are a park in Boston, and the date is still in the future. - crpietschmann, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21http://xkcd.com/237/
- xkcd, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19Has someone been impersonating me? I wonder what he's said. Maybe he's cooler and better-liked than me and I shouldn't try to unseat him.
- wes00mertes, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19Oh wow, I'm amazed. Props to your friends.
- aDJsavedmylife, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20so do I:
"server is rebooting" - toolegittoquit, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17When you get a little beyond 'Hello World!' things take a while to compile even on fast machines. Especially if the optimizations are turned on.
- BlackTye, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Shhh... Don't talk about the alt-text.
- AdamFromMyspace, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15That's the first time an "im in ur" has made me laugh out loud.. hahaha
- xkcd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Have him email me and tell me who's in the picture if he wants me to put it up on xkcd.com/chesscoaster -- email is rmunroe@gmail.com
- jivemasta, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13I bet 90% of the people that digg these comics are regular readers of it by now.
- MCGrunge1, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13I'm sure you're about as funny as a sinking schoolbus.
- AlmostEvil, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12They should paint that red with "tension sheet" written on it in white and sell it. They'd make a fortune.
/obscure - loconet, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12There are many fans of that episode..
http://xkcd.com/chesscoaster/ - TKDEE, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?t=3497
I'm willing to bet that somebody will. - newanalog, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11maybe he installs gentoo on workstations at his office from scratch
- GameMogul, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11For really long alt-texts, it doesn't show the whole caption, it just trails off with an ellipsis (e.g.: ...)
- cmgarcia, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11-dances-
Randall is my hero. - Rekzai, on 10/10/2007, -4/+14Wrong thread.
- Cyborg771, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Man, I read through the whole archives of XKCD. Best random webcomic out there if you ask me.
- psbpv3o, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9or just a picture section...
- playedalive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9WTF i go to the site and end up purchasing the map of the internet! Dam you digg!
- MalDON, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Video renders are the life. Took 9 hours yesterday to render a video. Good times.
- MCGrunge1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9I wonder if anyone will actually stand there at that exact time and date...
- MrPig, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8No... because it's an epic comic. However, that holds true for nearly all XKCD comics.
- tizz66, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Not every comic is going to be as good as this one, so I'm quite happy that people submit the good ones to digg. Then when they're popular enough to appear on the FP, I'll check it out knowing it's likely to be good. I'm a lazy browser :)
- alamandrax, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9meant*.
yeah. i'm going to be a dick about it too. - daridave, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9I feel your pain.
Maybe we should try those encoders... ;P - jtb4, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8yeah, cause sinking schoolbusses are really funny
- morphie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8That's why there is modular programming...
- CraigJ, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Firefox...
