That is a comic from XKCD ... whoever posted it did not give credit. Curse them.
Secret: I've had a programming/engineering comic in the works for a while (nothing public yet). Here's a bit of nonsense from my archives (not sharing my 'A' material yet):
Code:/* spaghetti code */
int boilingPot(int pasta, int sauce, int garlic)
{
return (pasta + sauce + garlic);
}
A programmer has a problem. The programmer says "I know, I'll use threads." The programmer now has many problems.

A variation on Jamie Zawinski if you are curious.

Computer programming is like sex: every mistake, and every success, needs lifetime support.
And ...
A million monkeys on a million keyboards will eventually write a Java program. The rest write Perl.

Not exactly a joke, but interesting that it doesn't show up in a search.
I first saw it back in the 80's.

False comparison. We're talking about an easily copied image on the internet, not a musical performance of staggering beauty.
And I'm sure the vast majority of public performances of Moonlight Sonata are indeed credited.
Regardless, Moonlight Sonata is a very well known piece in our culture, whereas the work of xkcd is not (relatively speaking).
Unfounded assumption. Maybe not everybody here knows xkcd. Or quite possibly non-members might stumble onto this thread and not know the source. The posting of the image implies a respect for the work of the author, so why not fully respect them and give them credit?Quote:
Everyone here knows xkcd when they see it, no crediting is necessary.
Besides, if everybody thought that way, I never would have known about xkcd myself.
There are 25 kinds of people in this world: those who understand binary and those who don't
I've always seen this one written as "there are 10 types of people in this world..." yours doesn't really make any sense relative to the joke, because 25 is 0x19 hex, 031 octal, and 11001 binary.
on the other hand, there are actually two types of people: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world: those who celebrate oct 31
