This is blatantly ripped from xkcd.com
http://xkcd.com/773/
THIS WAS STOLEN FROM XKCD
Yes, stolen so craftily that they linked XKCD as the original source. What fiends.
shhh, let them attack Ms Fix-It. If she gets disgusted with the people here, she’ll come back to thereifixedit where frankie’s not quite cutting it.
Awww, I find your fandom creepily cute bob.
What’s XKCD?

Dude, everyone knows what XKCD is.
Just like everyone knows the rules of Mornington Crescent.
Only the best webcomic since sliced bread… pretty much required reading for geeks and anybody else with a sense of humor.

Way to steal today’s XKCD comic. Talk about pathetic.
It was not “stolen”. XKCD comics are published under Creative Commons by-nc license which means everyone is free to copy them for non-commercial purposes as long as you link back to xkcd.com
But you could at least have copied the alt-text too:
“People go to the website because they can’t wait for the next alumni magazine, right? What do you mean, you want a campus map? One of our students made one as a CS class project back in ’01! You can click to zoom and everything!”
Do you think this is non-commercial? This is a for-profit website, which gets it’s money from viewers who come here to see graphs like this one. That clearly fails the license requirements.
… and they make money from us viewing their graphs… how? The only revenue I see the cheezburger network getting is from their store.
Did you miss the half-dozen ads all over the page?
It’s not stolen if it’s listed as a source people.
True.
You would think that, but it’s still stolen. What makes it OK is the license that xkcd is under.
Stolen from XKCD
Graphs will never be the same
Okay, I’ll go report them to the cyber-police and get them put in cyber jail.
The cyber police will know where to go because I backtraced it.
They’ll be Slaughtered if they resist.
GraphJam, Ya Dun Goof’d.
Because I backTRACED it.
Because I
Because I
Because I backTRACED it.
Randall would probably rather have you see his stuff at http://xkcd.com/ You still have to go there to see the message you get when you put the mouse over the image. So go check out XKCD, and add it to your “Check every morning bookmark”.
“Bookmarks”? People still use those? Have you not heard of RSS in your country?
That’s what I meant… I have a bookmark folder that’s filled with pages and RSS feeds and I open everything in the folder in tabs in the morning and work my through them.
It’s in my “MWF” (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) folder in my RSS reader. Once or twice a year he does every day for a week… but it’s mostly MWF.
Awesome, they finally feature an XKCD graph.
Everything I wanted to say has been said, minus the word “awesome”.
I just said it.
Stolen, not stolen, doesn’t matter. The fact is, this graph is TOO DAMN TRUE
I’m French and love to see we have the same problems we have
(just missing : “a really working link to exam results”)
*to see you have… (sigh)
(and university in France is really different from yours)
(cheaper)
I was bugged less by the fact that it was taken from XKCD, but more so that I saw it and thought I had already seen the graphs from that point on… But they did link it *shrug*
The worst campus map I ever saw on a univesity website was for the University of Washington – you had to use the arrow keys to navigate a little huskie sprite around a badly-rendered 3D map, which lacked labels.
They also never tell you how much the stupid school costs in any obvious place ever. On at least five colleges I’ve looked at…you have to search the word ‘tuition’ to find it.
The comic failed to list the football/basketball schedule for said college/university under “Things People Go Looking For”.
