Comic for today (10-02)

[MoRkA]

Could someone explain this for me?

[Karmond]

Ironforge is lag central.
It's a World of Warcraft joke. (however slightly exaggerated )

Are you sure its exaggerated? lol

[Focus]

Depends on the server. I'm on Lothar and I freeze up in there when I first enter Iron Forge. But it runs fine after the first intial lock up. But my server has a medium population. I can't imagine the high population servers.

October 2?? Your calendar is messed up, sir or madame.

Damned Yanks

We should never have sold them that tea in Boston, or whatever happened

[Seir]

Actually, you guys never got a chance to sell it in the first place.

FOR GNOMEREGAN!

What not to do in Gnomeregan.

1) Ignore intruder alarms... that sound, Yeah its bringing people to help you >.>

2) Split up at a 3 way fork and NOT tell the healer... because running to save the tank with no backup is so much fun.

3) Stand under the elivator. No really its only a few tons of falling steel, it cant possably harm you!

4) Stand in tunnels after you have been warned of explosives and cave in's! Because Healers can heal you if your under a ton of rock.

5) Run away dragging all of Gnomeragon at your heals to whoever the poor souls on the exit elivator may be... you'll get away till they hunt you down.

6) Run right up to groups of enemies instead of picking them off. No really. Their just dumb irradiated elite troggs... whats the worse that could happen to your group.

( ran out of ones for now... more will come with more ventures into gnomeregon)

Scandinavian-style date-typing. Or something like that. Days before months, anyway.

Which is what a good percentage of the world uses.

I can get over the amount of server problems WoW has so far.

[Cyberliger777]

I can understand and get along with the WoW being laggy, but when you play AO and it lags that is just wrong.

YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS-etc

Make sense.

[MoRkA]

DD-MM-YY and HH:SS 824 hour format) makes even more sense (:

[Deacon]

No, it doesn't. Why would you put the day before the month? That makes no logical sense. At least in YYYY-MM-DD it makes logical sorting sense and progresses logically and easily from greater units of time on down to as small as you want.

And when used in shorthand, such as in the topic's subject line, well...let's translate, shall we? "Comic for today (10 February)" as comapred to "Comic for today (February 10)".

Then again, who says language has to make sense? In English, for instance, we place modifiers before the object being modified. For instance, we describe "a red truck". In Spanish, it's the opposite way around, where they dscribe "a truck red". Of course, Spanish is a bad example, because they also have other silly rules like not never minding no double negatives, neither.

[Mae Dean]

And in Japanese, you'd say Red Truck a is!

But seriously... for just archiving purposes alone, each comic is numbered like such: 20050210. It's the only way to get them sorted properly, so saying 2005 02/10 makes the most sense, from a LOGICAL standpoint. I'm not saying it's stupid to do it any other way, but it is most LOGICAL to progress from greater to smaller. Even our standard of "February 10, 2005" isn't logical, really.
