Yea,  foxtrot is good like that, ive caught a few jokes of this manner, 
there was one when mac os x came out where the boy (name?) sat in front of 
his apple computer and the computer kept saying 'i have unix underwire' or 
something and the strip ended with the boy standing up and announcing he 
had unix underwear and it said something like chmod 777 or something along 
those lines- my favorite though was when the boy was reprimanded by a 
teacher and had to write X many lines on the board and he just wrote

for(i=0; i<X; i++)
printf("i will not do whatever it was he did\n");

;]

cheers

Those of us that are lucky (?) enough to get the FoxTrot comic strip

were discussing a software security topic.  The author, Bill Amend, addresses 
the issue of the recent leak of some Microsoft source code.  Check it out at:

...well *I* thought it was funny.  YMMV   ;-)
