    Dresden Codak: Awesome. A little bit more philosophical than the others, especially the whole HOB storyline, but comes with robots, lasers, and time travel.

    @Ruthless, If you let me: God that story was so stupidly tedious. It's like he read all three Dune books in a single day and then freaked out and made the world's most boring comic book arc that began nowhere, went nowhere and always featured way too much dialogue.

    The only worse comic is "Goats", which is the dismal ass end of boredom squared.

    @Pope John Peeps II: Although the story might have been a little convoluted, it still doesn't deserve your diatribe.

    I am sure you are not the greatest critic of comic strips to have read ALL the comics and make an egregious offhanded sweeping statement like the one you made above.

    The arc began with the HOB, went to (as any comic strip does) different characters, and featured enough dialogue to make it understandable. Although if you are naturally averse to dialogue and like moving images without any content, Tom & Jerry might be right up your alley.

    @OCEntertainment: I always thought QC was more hip to indie rock culture than nerds (though maybe there's some overlap there that I was not previously aware of).

    And yeah, not sure I've read much else that's comparable to xkcd's nerdiness...Phd comics might have a chance, being entirely about grad students. Hmm..

    @Pope John Peeps II: Questionable Content gets old pretty fast because it doesn't go anywhere! Even when I first started reading through, going through the first 800 or so altogether, it felt like it was taking years to get through a single scene. In real life, it probably did.

    The comic included here, though (which was actually just released recently) fits in the nerdy genre a bit, though. I'd always wished I could see more of those little Anthro PCs. They make the strip for me.

    I'll get flamed by Koreans but here it goes. Korea has always been trying to "one up" Japan and China for decades. They're also notorious for "borrowing" from Chinese and Japanese culture and claiming it their own. Hell a year ago they were claiming that Confucius was Korean.

    Alright, if us Americans were to build a robot to represent for our country, who would we build? And no talking about past plans for Michael Jackson walking about in the Nevada desert with lasers. That shit does not count.

    Also, if these countries really wanted to, why couldn't they just build fully functioning robot replicas, so that they can be alive and easily controlled? Well, besides financial reasons, of course.

    @Saboth: Unfortunately, Optimus Prime, despite being embraced by a generation of American kids, is not an American robot. Just a carbon copy of a Japanese cartoon, slightly repackaged for American consumption during the boom of 80s Japanese animation imports. He's still awesome, but not 100% uniquely American in conception and execution.

Moreover, isn't OS X kind of known for having awesome brain-dead peripheral support? As long as you're not talking about BluRay, just about any damn drive or USB device will work with that OS right out of the box.
