Reading comprehension, Aja: I didn't compare them.
Ah, I see, you just brought them both up in the same sentence because you believe they share qualities that might appeal to a particular type of person. Right.

Meh, neither of those are as good as Sexy Losers.

I think you've confused
copyrights with patents, the distinction is important.
Yes, it's important - copyrights would never work in world of technology where everything gets broken, dissasembled, rebuilt, and improved upon once per month.

Already read this one like... last week over on the PlanetTR forums. Seems pretty idiotic to me, then again, assholes like that will look for a reason to sue someone.

You still can't read. Where did I say that?

How many of you folks who hate PA think Perry Bible Fellowship is funny? Show of hands.

I hope this succeeds and all MMOs have to shut down.

Why, me. Coincidentally, I understood the Far Side most of the time and believe XKCD has turned from actually insightful and funny into just another webcomic about subcultural identification. It no longer works if you aren't part of the game - Penny Arcade never did, with the possible exception of the dadaist Twisp & Catsby strips.
But then I am a fan of (

Reading comprehension, Aja: I didn't compare them. I asked the question because anyone who likes PBF invariably froths at the mouth at PA. Incidentally, I often find PA funny (sometimes it's more of a political cartoon and isn't really meant to be that funny) and I think I'm the only person who thinks PBF is really rather trite, boring, and meant only for pseudointellectuals who like to pretend they understood the Far Side.
Parking Lot is Full > PBF.
PBF is actually good, because it actually has some artistic merit. That coupled with the mostly nicely morbid punchlines, it ends up entertaining and funny. Stuff like PA or ctrl+alt+del is just some geeks way of dreaming his life was full of awesome stuff from video games. Dunno where the pseudointellectuals come in, they must be all of those people who are not wanking over repeated gaming jokes.
And yeah, if this lawsuit actually goes through, it says something worrying about the patent-system...

Whoa, there's PA and there's CAD. Don't even put them together.
Then there's God Mode.
And yes there's worse
