@38thsignal: You'd need an assistant. I know some guys into BDSM who might be able to help out. ;-)

@Cheetah Eldrick Woods: both I and my coworker loved this comment. Well done, sir.

@LetsTryThisAgain: what's the deal with XKCD anyway? i read it once. then i analyzed the comic's mechanics, deduced that the rest of the comics would be telling geeky jokes only a few would get and came here to continue this meme.

@Nyxll: True, but for me it was merely a hobby (and I don't think trueSpace ever had a student edition). I later started doing bridge sets and such for Star Trek fan films and RPGs, but that was after I'd gone legit. You can see some of my work here: [webolutionary.com] - all of that is over five years old, BTW.

@Stem_Sell: is that seriously a superman version of a mechanical bull? Wow.

@Rakkoon: Believe me, there wasn't ten years ago when I started doing that stuff.

@xaronax: Flawless. Absolutely flawless. :-D

@WestwoodDenizen: true enough. That kind of software is so damned expensive hardly anyone can afford it even if they do want to be legit. I learned 3D graphics initially on pirated software, but bought it as soon as I was able to. There was no way I was coming up with $600 back then after I'd already spent what I…

@Animan: not bothering me any - the second guy is gorgeous! ;-)

@JS_Drupal: that one is funny as hell.

@nuclearbalm: insert comment here about lusers. ;-)

@JS_Drupal: Google's compromise on Net Neutrality was at least half evil. There can be no compromise on that issue. Fuck the telecoms (without a reacharound).

@chefgon: Anyone not at least storing them as MD5 hashes is an IDIOT. FWIW, all Drupal sites do that automatically, so you know your safe with any service built on that unless some idiot deliberately wrote a custom module to intercept the password before it's saved.

How about throwing straight versus gay into the mix. Being gay myself, I'd love to see the exact same breakdown done specifically of gay men in the various racial and religious groups.

@branchan: LOL, yeah, I'm not looking for goatse either.

@Stem_Sell: ROFL, if I could promote that, I most certainly would.

So where the hell is the download link? They should have launched it simultaneously with the announcement. That's a fail in my book.

@albokay: I could give you a cookie for that Shepard Fairey graphic.

@El El: More like Salvador Dali

@Waffles And Syrup: funny thing is years ago, one of the big microsoft sites went down and was found to have been running on a unix box. ;-)
