    Please, regardless of whether some people think it's funny or not, move this off the front page. The amount of allowable noise is taken up by ads already, I don't need this on there too, bumping the stuff I visit for off the bottom of my screen.

    Note from Alex: To help quell the bounty of boo-hooing over the need to use a "scroll bar" to bypass certain content, MFD is now displayed on the front page only in "Full Articles" view. If any further customizations are needed, please provide me with your IP Address your specific requirements so I can build a site just for you. Now, cue the "you're just doing that to increase page views" whining in 3... 2...

    Oh damn. The third time. Don't worry about it; these people are morons. Natural selection, in a webby sort of way, will take care of them. Personally, I'd nail the buggers down on a wooden table ... but somebody seems to have beaten me to it, by about two thousand years.

    I think the comics are just fine, and am happy to see more content on the site.

    George, don't worry too much about the detractors. New content is like pizza. No matter where you get it from, some loudmouths are inevitably going to complain, "this sucks! Garry's Pizza-Down-The-Street makes waaaaaaay better pizza than this."

    Keep at it.

    Actually, it's Guido's Napolitana, somewhere in Brooklyn Heights. I forget where. It's bloody good, though; the best that the five boros have to offer.

    What? You wanna pizza? I meant for comic strips.

    Scuse.

    George,

    You're like a misfit telling lame jokes at a party. You try to shock and provoke, but you nag and bore.

    You can't tell a joke. The best you can do is make a reference to a cliche, but that's NOT a joke.

    Your writing is dull, and your art betrays a childhood trauma.

    Nothing personal, but you are a disaster as a cartoonist, and this website would be so much better if you quit.

    Hey Alex,

    Off-topic: On what basis do you normally select 'blue' posts?

    If you select them on the basis of what readers might find interesting (sort of like 'selected comments'), then wouldn't it make sense to let readers select these comments with some sort of rating?

    Thanks to alex for making the change. I'm not a big webcomic fan and don't have that high a resolution screen, so the hiding of the comic when not in full article mode is much appreciated.

    And it's still early days for it, so i'll check back every now and then to see how it progresses.

    I don't see why anyone is surprised at the reaction to the comics, given the self important nature of the jackasses that log on this site daily to trash other people's work. Not that I am NOT one of the aforementioned jackasses. Just calling a spade a spade.

    It takes a true comic genius to take a worn stereotype and make it funny. Tragically, the first time I heard these jokes I laughed so hard I nearly fell off my dinosaur.

    (FYI: we all know that you're using stereotypes and personal experience to create humour. We just want you to use stereotypes and personal experience to create a joke we have seen less than a thousand times before. Honestly - next you'll have a "M$" joke to help show that you're unbiased, as if Microsoft bashing is any more creative than Linux bashing.)

    haha.. that comic made me laught

    HOLY COW NOW THIS IS A WEBCOMIC!!!!!! WILD APPLAUSE

    Thankyou Alex for moving the M.F.D. comic, though I've so far read them all I really appreciate that we are no longer forced to.

    The real WTF though is the disclaimer though. While I'm not above laughing at dev jokes, stupid/childish jokes, stereotypes, etc I just haven't found the comic to be funny yet; unlike those posted in the comments - they're great!!! Maybe after Anonymous stops fighting that "sci-fi religion" more of these comics could be included here?!

    Would include my captcha but I'm still trying to figure out how to fax the damn wooden table through to the inta-webz.

  • fizze (unregistered) in reply to Now former reader

    Oh my, yeah, like its bothering Alex if you're not reading this anymore. Right. Besides, there are fancy things like aggregation/syndication that allow you to specify the posts you want to see. Like only those that are actual CodeSODs, for that matter.

    shakes head in disbelief

    [captcha capio: now thats irony ;)]

    It seems some people need to calm down. I for one love the comics, it just seems the OSS guys can't handle even some gentle stirring.

    NOTE: I've never commented on The Daily WTF before, but thought I would just to show my support. The guys in my office love the comics - keep up the good work!

  • Jb (unregistered)

    Yeah... he only funny thing I've seen so far is the Linux tshirt. But I strongly encourage this expiriment. Rome wasn't built in a day and Dilbert didnt become iconic in a week. If I can give any constructive criticism at all: think more subtle.

    Challenge us! The best WTFs after all, are those which draw us in so much that we are compelled to either post or read the posts.

    It’s incredibly true. I really like this. It was thinking about whether I could utilize this review on my other site,.Great Thanks.
