Taking the number with the title, we have a 1337 Hack. Has to be related. 108.162.237.64 08:28, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

I concur, I don't think 1337 and Hack are just a coincidence 108.162.250.223 10:36, 3 March 2014 (UTC)


.... ok ... I bet that if the probe destroyed three of the Klingons' new K't'inga-class warships and the monitoring station en route, they would rethink the "we can no longer communicate with it" ... (seriously, probe from time of Voyagers returns to Earth and we are not able to communicate to it ... Roddenberry got surprisingly close). -- Hkmaly (talk) 10:42, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

I wonder if it comes close enough to Earth so that it has enough delta-v left to deorbit like that, and where it would end up. Maybe someone could model it in KSP or something... 173.245.48.84 11:37, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, Randall, for making this possible. I will now forever lay claim to this comic as per this log: http://pastebin.com/bpexL7zL

You rock, dude. Keep on it. :)

I added the transcription - feel free to adjust the names of "Guy", "Girl1", and "Girl2" as I can't recall any "Randall appropriate" names. I've grouped all panel elements into groups, which I believe is correct. It's my first transcript. ;) Jarod997 (talk) 14:00, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Wow, um, and if someone could "pretty" up the transcript so it shows a bit more nicely on the "front" page, it would be appreciated. Jarod997 (talk) 14:07, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

When I first saw the explanation, I thought the move "Hackers" was the subject of comic 130, rather than "Ghostwriters". Has anyone actually seen both? I get the impression Ghostwriters falls under the category of "so bad it's good", whereas Hackers is more of a cult classic. Maybe it's worth mentioning this emerging xkcd theme somewhere in the explanation. Thoughts? --108.162.219.16 14:43, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
