ubersoft: First comic of the new year is up. Here's hoping for many more!
ubersoft: ... and Linux said, "OK. I took that. Want to try again?" And I said "AUGH!"
ubersoft: Trying to make kino recognize my firewire port. Compiling from source. Take that, Linux!
ubersoft: Companies are now being sued for using the term "netbook." In other news, my List Of Things To Make Fun Of In My Comic just grew.
ubersoft: @jeffdarlington Leave it to a Thinkpad to be able to fit two monitors in a single laptop!

Endorsements

"Desperately Unfunny."

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

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

"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?"
