The comic strip User Friendly often visits the topic of frustrated sysadmins. Good for a laugh. I have and recommend all of the books.

Are you sure? I'd be surprised if you didnt' at least get a chuckle out of this little item.

can best be summarised by this quirky, crazily off-beat cartoon

Have you tried here?

So what you are saying then is that you would prefer the days of dial up and slow speeds and scattered content to the current high speed services that most of us enjoy. Back to the stone ages. Lets get rid of computers and go back to the abacus. Passe? I think not. Let's try to be a little constructive with the bull5h17!

Perhaps they are fighting back for Microsoft in the same style that we attacked them.

This post is from August 25th of 1998, more than five years ago. It's the first mention of the movies being made that I could find on Slashdot. No comments, but it's interesting to realize that tonight's awards ceremony has been the the culmination of a story we've all been following here for more than half a decade.

Ah yes, and I remember the first UF cartoon after the trailer was released: here - note that userfriendly.org discourages deep linking, but you can copy and paste the URL into a new browser window and then it should work.

Semi-obligatory User Friendly reference:

Dust Puppy singing the 12 Days of Christmas:

"5 Token Rings!"

Enter Gollum, stage right: "Precious?"

Erwin: "Wrong Tolkien. Go home!"

I just figured it out -- you're recruiting for the home for the obsolete. You're hoping you'll catch a few geezers here who can actually remember a time before windows, .Net, and bloatware, so you can have us dragged off to the old programmers home. Not that I can remember any of those, of course.

..that came to my mind after reading the headline was this.

Just grab a friend and a deck of cards, and you can play Yahoo vs. Google at home.

They did a series about it on Userfriendly.org a bit ago.

I would think that this comic explains the Slashdot Effect pretty well. :)

what do you mean? We've already got Vigor!

Some of us really dont want to think of the butter<shudder>

User Friendly I love you.

Where did they find 300 million lines of Linux code to begin with, much less 300 million infringing lines?

...is like talking to a dog

looks like it won't take long until we see something like this in courts.

like this?

What ever happend to "Thesis", "Antithesis", "Synthesis". This seems to be rather poor "dot joining", it's a bit like blaming the weather on "Linux Hackers"

I think a lot of folks have mixed feelings on this on.

I followed Microsoft's advice and typed in your address but all I got was the MSN search engine telling me that the domain "fax the webpages" doesn't exist.

Why risk using the Web at all? Just e-mail the webmaster and ask him to fax the webpages to you!

Then praytell me why are there terrorists attacking our troops in Iraq? During a presidential election year? With a host of democrats saying we should pull out of the country

I rarely ever say this, but you are a pussy. Since when are you suppossed to let several thousand people die as two flaming towers collapse and just go on as if nothing had happened? You fight back. You kill every damned one of those sons of bitches. It really fuckin' irks me when the liberals here on slashdot have more hatred for Darl McBride than Osama bin Laden. At least Darl isn't a mass murderer.

Well, I've never seen the GNOME website badmouth KDE. It all boils down to something like this.

Yess so all code will end up looking something like this.

User Friendly did a story on this a while back. Here's the link to one of the cartoons in the storyline. Also see this.

I wonder what world this guy is living in. Certainly not mine. My history books are much different this. I wonder if this guy is from the cyberdine future.

I have the certificates to prove this, and furthermore they're issued by the biggest software company in existence. [...] Mike Bouma, MCSE, MCDST, MS Office Specialist

IBM don't issue Minesweeper Consultant and Solitaire Expert (MCSE) certs (except possibly when their janitors replace the empty rolls).

On second thought, considering where I'm posting: This is camping!

This storyline on UserFriendly is about geeks camping. It's one of the best storylines, IMO. It continues until July 04, 2000.

Well, that's nothing new. (Continue on for a few days.)

And of course here's the images of Beagle for those who missed it.

I think Illiad has the best way of putting it: here

I think userfriendly said it best.

Not only that, with multiple boxes you have failover. One box gets a kernel panic, failover to the other box -- hence, no downtime.

The odds are certainly stacked.

With that said, I present you with a related cartoon.

...from the ill-fated Miranda/AJ romance (storyline starts a few days earlier, Nov 6).

Sorry, you are 4 years late to really annoy people with that one.

A small nuclear device should do. Assuming you can't get Pitr's, try contacting Toshiba about the one discussed in this story

Makes for a pretty good dog-n-pony show, and proves useful too!

Don't forget the chance to come up with NOC NOC jokes

Here is how we will finally win the war on spam.

No, this is AOL's PC.
