    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.

    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!!!!!

    Who reads Slashdot without checking xkcd? Anyone? I just happened to check Slashdot first today.

    xkcd is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

    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"?
