XKCD Deploys Command Line Interface

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it's-actually-better dept.

ipquickly was one of a large number of users to note that the best on-line comic has just got a little better with the addition of a command line interface. You can also sign the petition to make the CLI permanent.

    It would feel delicious, to me, that right when the iPad comes out, designed for people to consume more ephemeral and pointless information than ever, that a site like this would make itself slightly more exclusive by moving backwards on the user interface timeline.

    Bless your heart, xkcd!

    What is a shell without tab complete?!? Even Windows supports it.

    Also, Arial? WTF, Slashdot? At least pick Verdana or Georgia in the stylesheets, two decent web fonts that ship with Windows.

    Slashdot's not using Arial, it's using the browser's default sans-serif font. For me, this is Helvetica.
