DMCA Title IV: Authorization of deadly force
p2pnet view Cool:- “This comic occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors).”
So says Randall Munroe, creator of the web comic xkcd.
He’s a “CNU graduate with a degree in physics”, he wrote a couple of years back, going on, “Before starting xkcd, I worked on robots at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Virginia. As of June 2007 I live in Massachusetts. In my spare time I climb things, open strange doors, and go to goth clubs dressed as a frat guy so I can stand around and look terribly uncomfortable. At frat parties I do the same thing, but the other way around.”
These days, “I’m just this guy, you know?”, he says, going on, “I’m a CNU graduate with a degree in physics. Before starting xkcd, I worked on robots at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Virginia. As of June 2007 I live in Massachusetts. In my spare time I climb things, open strange doors, and go to goth clubs dressed as a frat guy so I can stand around and look terribly uncomfortable. At frat parties I do the same thing, but the other way around.”
And the Pleiades is still his favourite astronomical entity.
What does XKCD stand for?
Well, “It’s not actually an acronym. It’s just a word with no phonetic pronunciation — a treasured and carefully-guarded point in the space of four-character strings.”
The strip on the right is from Randall’s random choices.
