Won't be near a computer to see the poll until tonight. Can someone quote the poll?May's Gone, Where do we go from here?
I am still on the "Turns out May doesn't have to leave after all" boat.
MOM shows up in NoHamWell I am moving to New England tomorrow...about two hours from NoHa.
Wait, does that mean he gets to keep him?

Same here.
So he's paper trained?
:-D
"Whose wife?"Wait, does that mean he gets to keep him?
His wife might object.

There's segments of American culture where a few German phrases have snuck in to normal English speech. Auf wiedersehen is one of them.
Another example, when someone wants to use a secular response to someone sneezing, "gesundheit" is the typical choice. ...
And weisbm: your avatar? It ROCKS.I also like it but I can't tell what it says.
"Mornin', Ralph ... Mornin' Sam," right? The original punch-clock antagonists, the sheepdog and the wolf from the Looney Tunes cartoons. Brutally effective antagonists while on the clock, neighbors and congenial professionals otherwise, each recognizing the other is just doin' his job. Got a metaphor goin' there?And weisbm: your avatar? It ROCKS.I also like it but I can't tell what it says.
A&C at their best. Classic comedy. I've heard that routine thousands of times and it's still the funniest sketch ever written."Whose wife?"Wait, does that mean he gets to keep him?

"yes."
after reading this comic for a couple years I finally made an account on the forums just to say that I'm really gonna miss May...

(Anyone else ever find it odd that this "wolf" looks exactly like Wile E. Coyote? Someone at Warner Bros. was a tad unclear on the differences between wolves & coyotes, IMHO.)
So did May actually not have a name before, or do AIs have an identity erase function?Quite possibly she really had no name, if she was working in a semi-anonymous role somewhere in the middle of a transaction chain. Overseeing credit card transactions for fraud/ID theft for example.
But servers have names.
"Now that you've rehabilitated yourself, kid, you're allowed to choose a new name for your new life. Any requests?"

Look out! There are Llamas!
Ok, Alpacas. Same diff.
I suppose I better explain again....
I object, this comic only shows one butt, when there obviously has to be plural butts for an appropriate BUTTS LOL, I mean we have a clear case of Butts Disease, there's a dire need here, so BUTTS!!!!
She's just upset because nobody's alive to hear her pun.
Look out! There are Llamas!*facepalm* I didn't catch the spelling until after I read these two and went back to look again....

Yeah, I don't think those would count for much, either.
thanks to Microsoft's forethought, a flat namespace, every machine has to be uniquely identifiable via it's name alone (even though the FQDN allows them to be recognised through the hierarchical structure of the DNS system).

Interesting difference: Winslow got to pick his own name, May didn't. Is that a civil right you lose in Robot Jail?
Hmm, obviously up for interpretation, but my view of it was that she simply didn't have one yet and/or didn't care... 2495 (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2495), 3rd panelInteresting difference: Winslow got to pick his own name, May didn't.

For companion APCs, I have the impression that the process is pretty informal: if the 'bot doesn't already have a name, it and the human toss around some ideas, and the 'bot picks one it likes. Or if it doesn't have a strong preference, maybe it lets the human pick. (I don't think they've ever mentioned how Pintsize got named, though.)
For an AI prisoner in a work-release program, the rules are likely a bit stricter. In fact, I think May explicitly tells Dale "You get to name me" because of the program she's in. So yeah, that's probably a right you don't get when you're a prisoner.

Pretty sure it's Faye's butt, though. That's worth a few right there...
I don't know if Christianity will save us from the Alpacalypse. Perhaps we should consult the Dalai Llama?Didn't Sim City 2k or 3k have funny cracks now and again involving Llamas? Including some reference to a Dali Llama?

I have no idea what's going on in todays guest comic and am confused that Claire is suddenly built like Triple H.

The guest comic authors really like Claire.

Why is Hanners a dude?

Why is Hanners a dude?
The more I think about that the more questions I ask myself. Why is it so easy to mentally assign a sex based on a picture with so few cues? The short hair is just the Hanners we know. Is it something about facial dimensions, or is it the thick arms?
Hanners has been known to hack her hair short. She really needs to stop reading Wikipedia. (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=663)
Course, one has to wonder how much time has actually gone by in the comic. I think he's only mentioned one change of seasons so far....
In fact, Faye might have ... a side thing with Hanners.
A factor of two? As in, no less than half a year and no more than two?
A factor of two? As in, no less than half a year and no more than two?Thanks for clarifying, because I totally read "factor" as "order of magnitude" :psyduck:
I can't tell if thats Marten or Dora that Pintsize is leering at. The androgyny is........confusing.
Um... TEH shirt, Pintsize (doesn't live with Dora), blue eyes, etc

Remember the Star Trek episode where Kirk said the ship's audio sensors had been boosted by a factor of one to the fourth power?

Sorry, I'll show myself out now.
Remember the Star Trek episode where Kirk said the ship's audio sensors had been boosted by a factor of one to the fourth power?If I heard someone say that, I'd assume they were either an idiot or a very smart engineer with a very dumb client.
It goes to 11, and for $2000 more I'll sell you one that goes to 12.Remember the Star Trek episode where Kirk said the ship's audio sensors had been boosted by a factor of one to the fourth power?If I heard someone say that, I'd assume they were either an idiot or a very smart engineer with a very dumb client.
I can't tell if thats Marten or Dora that Pintsize is leering at. The androgyny is........confusing.I know it's Marten based on the "TEH" shirt, but seriously, the third panel has him drawn looking very feminine.
Not sure if there's a bug thread, but Comic #2318 seems to have vanished; the current one (#2518) has overridden it.
Dammit, that's not the fifth harmonic. Do I gotta animate a version of Pintsize's ass to get some scientific accuracy around here!? ::)
I wouldn't have ran with both butt gifs myself. Or if guest pickings were slim I'd put them on opposite ends of the week.
Since when does Pintsize even have a butt, anyway? And if he did, wouldn't it be hard plastic rather than something that flexible?
I have to agree with Rghfrgl and Akima on this one. Anyone unfortunate enough to glance at my work computer screen the last couple days would probably also agree. They probably think I read an entire webcomic dedicated to animated butt gifs... which isn't true... they're not all animated OR gifs.
Buttonium.It's the stuff the liquid Terminators are made from.
Buttoxfordshire then?
