ALEX: So what seems to be the problem?

QA: Well, we were testing the service pack for Nifty eDoorways 2001, and we would get random lockups and that grey screen. The grey screen had the following message:

QA: "Nifty Doorways has encountered a segmentation error in IEEE:4001h82:00011 eeehh

Please contact Ubersoft eSupport for more information on the nature of this error."

QA: So what does it mean?

ALEX: I have no idea.

"Desperately Unfunny."
- Someone on Dean's World

"The artwork is lame and repetitive, the 'jokes' are either inside software industry jokes or thinly disguised anti-capitalist rantings."
- Someone else on Dean's World

"Are there really 80 people who find any reference to Microsoft in a web comic funny?"
- Someone on Reddit

"Why has this been running since 1996? Who actually reads it? Who is the idiot who reads it every day and posts the 'good' ones up on reddit? Doesn't he realize he is wasting his time?"
- Someone else on Reddit

"My god, my eyes are bleeding now. To think that there are comics out there which are worse than User Friendly is every way, when User Friendly was already pretty bottom-of-the-barrel in all departments!"
- Someone on Slashdot (With apologies to User Friendly, who got hit in the crossfire.)

"I'm burying this alive. Oh, look. Digg's comment window is jumping up and down in excitement. It's like it's nodding and agreeing with me. Yay."
