I won't deny that some of the comics that have more elaborate backgrounds indicate an ability to draw well, but in general xkcd is about not having the best drawing. It's about dialogue and the ideas behind it.

It's OK, I don't like cake. Pepsi > Coke Pepsi == Coke I actually did a taste test of Pepsi and Coke, not knowing which was which, and I couldn't taste the difference. I know some people may have a more sensitive sense of taste than me and can taste a difference, but I will not accept that anyone's preference is more than psychological unless they have also done a reasonably reliable taste test and were able to tell them apart consistently. Random observation: I still drike mainly Coke out of habit, and I never minded having Pepsi if Coke was unavailable, so this relevation didn't really change anything for me.
In context Forum: Debate 2008-04-16 16:21:45	purely logically the game is pretty unwinnable though The game is only unwinnable because the rules don't specify what the winning conditions are. That is why you have to break the rules in order to win.
In context Forum: Debate 2008-04-16 16:18:17	It's easy enough, depending on the assembly you use. I would guess it shouldn't take more than 24 commands, absolute maximum, for any reasonable assembly language. That's about what it would take for the language we used in one of my CS classes (I can't remember the language's name), and that was a very limited language.
In context Forum: Comic Discussion 2008-04-16 16:13:05	Don't worry about the art. Some of the best comics I read (xkcd, Decorum, User Friendly) have sketchy art. Pun fully intended.

In context Forum: General 2008-04-15 23:23:37	It tells people that you're talking about the past and not the present. Most of the time it's used, the rest of the sentence it's used in conveys that information already. Also, there is no present.

In context Forum: General 2008-04-15 03:54:40	I hate those pink shirts for guys that say "Real Men Wear Pink". It strikes me as more pathetic than someone who is more traditionally "macho". I mean, the guy who is wearing that went out and saw it, and said to himself "hey, this is great. I can seem even more manly by wearing this and pretending not to care about how manly I look." (Or someone else gave it to him as a gift, but that doesn't matter in the context of my rant). To me it just seems horribly stupid. Along the same lines, mindlessly gainsaying something that is traditionally very uncool or stupid as "awesome" or "great" simply because of its traditional unpopularity is also annoying. (I have been guilty of this myself.) Nowadays I try to avoid doing anything based on others' opinions. I try to do things that I want to do and wear what I want to wear, and I try to want them for valid reasons. To me, this is the only valid way of not caring what other people think. As a side note, I'm not entirely successful in my ventures. For example, I avoid wearing anything on my torso more than a T-shirt, even in the coldest weather. I don't have a better reason for this other than I like the challenge and the idea that other people will notice me. Oh well, as long as I recognize and accept the fact that I'm a hypocrite, it's ok! So that was my rant. What's yours?

In context Forum: Debate 2008-04-15 03:27:26	Software-related services will probably become the new market once all the base software requirements have been fulfilled by OS. I for one hope this never happens (the OS fulfilling all basic requirements). I do not want one big company trying to make all the basic software that I use along with my OS. In my opinion, many different companies, each focussing on their own type of application, will end up with better products overall.
In context Forum: Debate 2008-04-15 03:17:26	Hello World. It does precisely what it is supposed to. So it's not crappy. Doing what it is supposed to does not make software not suck. If the purpose of the software is itself "sucky" then software that does that purpose perfectly can be described as "sucking". As for Hello World, that sucks because as an actual piece of software, it is utterly useless. It is of great use as an example of programming in a particular language, but that is not software, that is an example of code. The program that code writes is actually pretty sucky.
In context Forum: Debate 2008-04-15 03:12:29	You guys were going about this all wrong. I didn't have to get xkcd's permission to win the game. I just decided to win, and I did. Then I stopped playing. It's all very simple. To win the game, all you have to do is ignore the rules.

In context Forum: General 2007-11-23 04:35:26	There's a difference between logic and math. Logic I'm obsessed with. Math I'm obsessed with /avoiding/. But logic is math. It's got equations and variables and proofs and all that stuff.
