i think i saw this on xkcd.com.

Yeah, but the original comic strip is from GeekHeroComic.com. Check it out - they're fun to read.

oh cool! thanks!

Check out the comic strip at www.phdcomics.com . These are fun too!

that she'll understand those.. so far so good!

Ph.D. comics are about a guy named George Cham who joins Stanford as a research student to earn his Ph.D.

It's fun. There are other characters in it who are quite entertaining too!

yeah, they're quite easy to understand.. though i like the geek hero comics more

In the Geek Hero Comics, there's a (green) character named Randall. He's a Linux programmer. Boris is a Russian hacker who joins them later.

Bob is a project manager. Ali is an network admin. Ross is a wannabe-Windows-programmer. Ted is a Windows programmer.

There are other characters too, but these are the main characters in the comic strip

yeah, read the whole thing boris is so fun! pretending to be a PM..

Are you reading the comics from the beginning? If you aren't, you're killing the suspense.

yep, i did.

I won't tell you what happens, but something really weird happens with Boris halfway through the story

read up to the recent page/panel. boris is such an interesting character

Already? It took me about 2 days to go from the start till the issue for the day I was reading... and that was 6 months ago!

eh? really? O_o
