Well "All your base are belong to us" has left its mark there. I couldn't find a link to it for those that don't get the comic strip in their paper. Sorry!

Edited for typos!

That got a laugh out of me at 5:10AM when I read it! The best part was that there was no explanation at all about what it meant. You either knew already, or you'd be sitting there scratching your head.

kranky I know what you mean. I was laughing out loud at work when I read it and people were looking at me. I knew it wasn't worth the effort to explain it, so I guess that's just one more mark against me as the "wierd guy" in the office.

You've just got to love the fact that he gave no explanation at all as to the AYBABTU reference. Classic!

haha

I can't wait for the translation to swedish :)

it gets really funny when the translators don't get the joke themselves and decide to just translate the thing straight across the languages hehe.

then you have to figure out what it said in english first...:)

I bet 99% of the people who read that comic didn't have an idea what that was about ;)

Jason is great...but he is a Mac User.

Are you sure about that? There was a long-running thing about him loathing that "fruity" IMAC his mom bought. And if I remember correctly, the PC he was drooling over had an Athlon derived name...

But I could be wrong, it's happened before.

I wonder what would have happened if Jason told Paige that "You have no chance to survive, make your time!" :D
Another pair of broken glasses ;)

Saw it this morning. HAHA. The writer is pretty informed about computer related material. He includes much of the latest knowledge in his strips sometimes.

Actually they have an 'iFruit' computer :D

Jason had no choice in the matter because it's his moms work computer.

If Foxtrot gets translated back to Japanese for the Japan newspapers, will the phrase make sense in their comic strip? :confused:

No, he wanted to install Linux on it. Too bad his mom said "Ick! I don't want open sores!"

hehe. The foxtrot guy is a linux fan.
