A new web comic for me to read! If you're reading xkcd for the first time, make sure you check out all the alt-text for the images. I guess it would depend on your browser, but keep your mouse hovered over the image for the text to pop up. Lot's of good follow-up jokes to be found. |

Do you do this 'I'm gonna be a contrarian Ogre' act for a schtick or is this how you really are? |

No this is how I really feel about people who steal the bandwith others are paying their hard earned money for. Its not a act or anything like that, just making a comment, my appologies if doing so offended you in some way that you will never recover from. |

The line that brettmcd's complaining about is just the alt text for the comic on xkcd, not an editorial comment that Disarm added. There's a better place for you to complain about that, brett. Let us know how it goes. |

BrettMCD, I forgot all about you!!! I'm relatively new at GT and this is the first time I've seen you about. I guess you haven't changed much, this is the kind of thing I remember you doing before. I guess you must a kick out of being "controversial". If it helps you get some satisfaction, then good for you I guess. |

If you want to discuss bandwidth piracy, I'm going to send you a bill for all the 1's and 0's of yours that I never specifically asked for, and which you have so chosen to worry about. If you leave your garden hose running all over the (public) sidewalk, you're worried if someone takes a drink? Get your goddamned hose put away. |

Oh, sweet irony... Back on topic, yes xkcd is awesome today, tomorrow, and until the end of time. I don't always get them (especially the math-based comics), but I don't think I've seen him "miss" yet. |

Get your goddamned hose put away.
"But, officer, the sixteen-year-old girl in the tiny top and Daisy Duke shorts was practically begging me to grab her ass in the middle of the shopping mall. How could I not?" There are good reasons why brett's posts in this thread don't deserve to be taken seriously. This is not one of them. The fact that someone else makes it easy and/or tempting for you do something wrong does not absolve you of the responsibility to use your own conscience to realize that the act itself is still wrong and restrain yourself accordingly. It's not your bandwidth and you didn't pay for it, so you don't have any right to use it. The fact that I didn't take reasonable precautions to protect it may mean I am not entitled to much, if any, compensation from you for your theft but that doesn't change the reality of your thievery. - Ash |
