Having just spent 17 hours bringing a server back online after a third party team blew up a data center move I am greatly amused. Note to data center migration teams teams when moving large production databases, copy, don't cut!!!!!
It baffles me that anybody thinks it worth the time to write a blog like this. OK, you don't like xkcd? Don't visit it. There is a whole web out there, people. There are probably more webcomics alone than any one person can read. Move along, leave this one behind. For me, it is funny enough often enough to justify the energy spent in clicking on the link to it. Which is not the highest of praise.

So you prefer a blog which complains about such atrocities as "Something happens in fiction that would not happen in real life"?

Except for those of use who don't like it, we keep getting shit like slashdot today. The fawning fanboys shove it down our throats. The worst of it is every time something's mentioned in a strip, there's immediately some dumbass trying to put an "in popular culture" reference on its wikipedia page saying "OMG XKCD MENTIONED THIS!" So, no, it's not as simple as "not visiting it." Unless you're prepared for a blanket moratorium on people mentioning XKCD on the rest of the Internet. Somehow, I doubt that, so in the meantime, I'll continue to visit that blog.

So you're not a fan. Ok. I'm not a fan of Apple. I'm not a fan of... whoever won the latest American Idiot contest. I'm not a fan of a million other things that other people think are just too cool.
But why bother starting a website about something you don't want to deal with? Is people's life so empty, so devoid of anything that they really have the time to devote to things they do not like?
It's not like xkcd (or whatever else you don't like) has any impact on your life. I don't like some of the laws out there, and I'm certain to stand up and speak out against them because they can and sometimes do affect me. But a webpage? A computer brand? Hell, even a singer I can't stand would have more impact on me if I ever forgot to load my MP3 player and had to tune in to a radio station while driving!
Yet I manage to just ignore them.

Although maybe I'm doing it wrong. The next time I'm in a restaurant and I see someone at another table with broccoli, I'm going to turn beat red and throw a hissy fit about how horrible broccoli is and how terrible it is that I have to see the stuff in public because of those damned broccoli lovers who think it's some miracle cancer curing vegetable or something.
Nice start but you fell flat with the hyperbole. Nobody is throwing hissy fits and you're just making yourself sound like a jackass by twisting reality.

This is comment about comments and I realize I might be doing the same thing I'm complaining that other's are. Actually I'm pretty sure I am.
Overall I dont like when comments like 'what's this doing on slashdot?'. Give attention to topics that are interesting to you personally. If a comment is not interesting, why do even bother giving it time? That's a waste of time. Reading an a boring article and then complaining about it.

I know it's idle, but where is the news..? I don't come to slashdot for comics, that's what RSS feeds are for.

Best xkcd comic ever (Well, if you're lucky.)
Actually, I suppose someone should've made an 'Obligatory article' reply...
