I thought the point was that given two .......what? I thought the point was that given two numbers of the same visual size on-screen, the eye will conflate the two into the same scale, regardless of the given units. I'm not mathematically illiterate, but I did brush over the first panel and assume that those numbers were the same size the first time I looked at them. Giving pairs of related numbers at the same scale would, in fact, seem to be more transparent.<br /><br />It seems like there's a lot of grasping for the hate going on around here. Is this what sustains you guys? Get some fresh air, get girlfriends (or boyfriends), chill out a bit. Maybe try a project with the potential to do some good, instead of wasting a bunch of time to annoy a guy who draws comics on the internetTedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17145592987019297459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-50873653291074653722009-12-21T00:12:21.275-08:002009-12-21T00:12:21.275-08:00JERKFACEJERKFACErshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15828938843801425383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-17695900726576428142009-12-21T00:05:54.406-08:002009-12-21T00:05:54.406-08:00BULLSHITBULLSHITAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11192581573588205095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-13783600804609606582009-12-20T20:21:32.423-08:002009-12-20T20:21:32.423-08:00FUCKTARDFUCKTARDCarlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01074589998141327538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-73142138784567693272009-12-17T17:41:50.456-08:002009-12-17T17:41:50.456-08:00Hah, I love watching people argue on the Internet....Hah, I love watching people argue on the Internet. bullshit, fucktard, one point with substance for each then a bunch of name calling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-63567885941195377302009-11-15T23:35:53.392-08:002009-11-15T23:35:53.392-08:00ahahaha ur all fucktards who cant do anything but ...ahahaha ur all fucktards who cant do anything but make fun of a blog<br />ahahaha get a fucking girlfriend and a life dude.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-75979814063340637562009-11-15T12:20:14.396-08:002009-11-15T12:20:14.396-08:00ahahaha ur all fucktards who cant do anything but ...ahahaha ur all fucktards who cant do anything but make fun of a webcomic<br />ahahaha get a fucking girlfriend and a life dude.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-48081002800842204622009-11-15T04:06:09.967-08:002009-11-15T04:06:09.967-08:00You know, I’m not really fond of your blog general...You know, I’m not really fond of your blog generally, but JESUS CHRIST THIS COMIC IS HORRIBLE. Seriously, how can you make jokes about the Pauli exclusion principle and then chew out the Mainstream Media™ because they give their audience credit for knowing the definition of the word “billion”? Is this really the same comic that has at various points made 2 references to Fourier transformations? How can anybody responsible for XKCD possibly call out ANYTHING EVER over giving its audience too much credit? How THE FUCK is the number “173 billion” misleading when “billion” is the TERM CONGRESS USED WHILE ALLOCATING FUNDS? Congress didn’t commit 173,000 million dollars to the bailout, Randall. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN STUPID.<br /><br />I tend to think that you have an unfortunate tendency to willfully concentrate on the negative and ignore alternate interpretations almost to the point of ridiculousness, but you definitely hit the nail right on the head with this one. Major kudos on giving this patronizing bull the thorough pounding it deserves.<br /><br />The thing is, I like XKCD. It’s just that this comic is really bad. It’s irrelevant and condescending and patronizing and hypocritical and GODDAMNIT, IF YOU’RE GOING TO PUT DUMB POLITICS IN YOUR COMIC WHY NOT ACTUALLY SPEND TIME ON CRAP THAT’S IMPORTANT, LIKE, I DUNNO, GENOCIDE, INSTEAD OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MILLION AND A BILLION?
