50.0.108.18: /* Fifth Panel */ No idea how generic this variant was

}}

==Explanation==
This comic isn't a static image - even the title text changes depending on which part of the image you're hovering over. The blank regions in the above image are dynamically generated from various sources.

*The university that is being recruited changes depending on which university is winning the hash finding competition in the fifth panel.
*The company doing the recruiting is the first NASDAQ-100 company mentioned on a varying Wikipedia page (so far: Technology, Research, Sith, Jean Luc Picard, Aer Lingus, Human sexual activity, Auction, Sinking of the Titanic, Guards with the most complicated knives, Bizarro, Map, 24-hour analog dial, Berlin Hauptbahnhof, Centrifugal Force, McDuck, Maryland Route 147, Interplanetary Transfer Network). It has also shown <nowiki>[[]]</nowiki> as the source.
**It has started using hints instead of titles, with another article linked somewhere else in the first panel. This article sometimes matches the hint.
*The text in the second panel may vary: See [[1193: Externalities#Second Panel|this section]].
*The text in the third panel may vary: See [[1193: Externalities#Third Panel|this section]].
*The text in the fourth panel may vary: See [[1193: Externalities#Fourth Panel|this section]].
*The text in the fifth panel changes, depending on which university is currently in third place in a hash finding competition. Clicking on the panel takes you to [http://almamater.xkcd.com/ a webpage] where people can enter their school's domain name and hash data, and ranks schools on how close their students can come to matching a Skein 1024 1024 hash value.
*The text in the top half of the sixth panel may vary. See [[1193: Externalities#Sixth Panel|this section]]. The second half of the panel is always the same. 
*The last panel varies with the amount donated to the Wikimedia Foundation via [https://donate.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:FundraiserLandingPage&country=HK&uselang=en&utm_medium=socialmedia&utm_source=fr-redir&utm_campaign=xkcd_april1 this link].

==Explanation==
This comic isn't a static image - even the title text changes depending on which part of the image you're hovering over. The blank regions in the above image are dynamically generated from various sources.

*The university that is being recruited changes depending on which university is winning the hash finding competition in the fifth panel.
*The company doing the recruiting is the first NASDAQ-100 company mentioned on a varying Wikipedia page (so far: Technology, Research, Sith, Jean Luc Picard, Aer Lingus, Human sexual activity, Auction, Sinking of the Titanic, Guards with the most complicated knives, Bizarro, Map, 24-hour analog dial, Berlin Hauptbahnhof, Centrifugal Force, McDuck, Maryland Route 147). It has also shown <nowiki>[[]]</nowiki> as the source.
**It has started using hints instead of titles, with another article linked somewhere else in the first panel. This article sometimes matches the hint.
*The text in the second panel may vary: See [[1193: Externalities#Second Panel|this section]].
*The text in the third panel may vary: See [[1193: Externalities#Third Panel|this section]].
*The text in the fourth panel may vary: See [[1193: Externalities#Fourth Panel|this section]].
*The text in the fifth panel changes, depending on which university is currently in third place in a hash finding competition. Clicking on the panel takes you to [http://almamater.xkcd.com/ a webpage] where people can enter their school's domain name and hash data, and ranks schools on how close their students can come to matching a Skein 1024 1024 hash value.
*The text in the top half of the sixth panel may vary. See [[1193: Externalities#Sixth Panel|this section]]. The second half of the panel is always the same. 
*The last panel varies with the amount donated to the Wikimedia Foundation via [https://donate.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:FundraiserLandingPage&country=HK&uselang=en&utm_medium=socialmedia&utm_source=fr-redir&utm_campaign=xkcd_april1 this link].

This comic isn't a static image - even the title text changes depending on which part of the image you're hovering over. The blank regions in the above image are dynamically generated from various sources.

*The university that is being recruited changes depending on which university is winning the hash finding competition in the fifth panel.
*The company doing the recruiting is the first NASDAQ-100 company mentioned on a varying Wikipedia page (so far: Technology, Research, Sith, Jean Luc Picard, Aer Lingus, Human sexual activity, Auction, Sinking of the Titanic, Guards with the most complicated knives, Bizarro, Map, 24-hour analog dial, Berlin Hauptbahnhof, Centrifugal Force, McDuck). It has also shown <nowiki>[[]]</nowiki> as the source.
**It has started using hints instead of titles, with another article linked somewhere else in the first panel. This article sometimes matches the hint.
*The text in the second panel may vary: See [[1193: Externalities#Second Panel|this section]].

*The text in the fourth panel may vary: See [[1193: Externalities#Fourth Panel|this section]].

50.0.108.18: /* Changes, Changes */ new section

Any chance we can convince Randall to let other universities in: the Canadian ones only work if they have a .edu, so uwaterloo.ca and sfu.ca are out.
: As are [schools].ac.in

The person who provided the shopped image either isn't using a modern browser or is using IE. The font is supposed to be "xkcd-Regular", which I assume is a font that gets downloaded from XKCD's server. Loading the same page in IE 9 gave me that Times New Roman-esque font instead (Chrome, Firefox, and Opera use the special font, although it's rendered a little fuzzy in Firefox).

: It's April 1st. Maybe the idea that the company is sourced from a Wikipedia page is not true.

The top of the page for the comic now mentions this: "You can change the company in this comic. Mouse over its name in the first panel. The schools are selected by a hash breaking competition." Don't think that was there before. More interesting is the first sentence. Do we have a list of wikipedia pages that he's tracking for the first company mentioned in the page?

Has anyone been able to reproduce the 1024-tit Skein hash values that he is generating at http://almamater.xkcd.com/? The hashes that he shows don't match the ones I'm getting from my Skein hash calculator (using 1024 tit output and 1024 tit internal state size). I tried feeding the same string into the hash function both with and without a trailing null character and neither matches. For example, if I type abc into the form, he shows 35a599...1f1f (edited for brevity), but I calculate that a hash of the 3-byte message "abc" should be 10a866...035c.[[User:Theodric|Theodric]] ([[User talk:Theodric|talk]]) 22:03, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

"Wikipedia article on {{hint: The perpetrators of the largest extinction in Earth's history}}" Would this be humans?

== Changes, Changes ==

The opening line of the first panel has changed. It's now "Ahoy, Carnegie Melonites!" (for the current school) rather than "Hey, [university] students!" (as listed in all the current entries for the changing first panel text). The question and response seem to be the same as before.
And the fifth panel now has "if they're clever with their applications" instead of "provided any of them manage to fill out the application correctly". So showing the text as static in the comic image is no longer accurate.
