Read the new xkcd? Yeah, it's a shame. But we can't let stuff like this happen.

To a non programmer, it means nothing to me.
Wait, why would I be reading xkcd if I wasn't a programmer?
Then again, I write in java.

xkcd's fanbase is mostly the type of people who descibe themselves as "geeky" when really they mean "drama-seeking attention whory" and people who desperately want other people to think they're smart. It'd surprise me if there were very many actual programmers (or mathematicians, or linguists, or whatever else xkcd purports to be about) among them.

I don't think you're the real Richard Stallman. Enjoy your recursive acronyms.

Every time he talks about Python or Perl, I like xkcd less.

He.. like almost everyone is just a mediocre programmer -- so of course anything he says about programming is going to sound totally idiotic, the major problem though is that he has a lot of influcence.

Most people that I know who read xkcd are “intellectual” idiots who like to pretend they're smart and get the jokes, when I know for a fact that it's impossible for them to understand at least 80% of them, since they don't possess the necessary mathematical, programming or general geek knowledge.
I don't understand how something targeted to such a specific viewer base got so popular.
