It may also be a reference to the previous comic, which was a link to a survey for xkcd readers.<br /> <br /> ==Transcript==<br /> {{incomplete transcript}}<br /> :[Ponytail, pointing at a chart on her left and talking offscreen to the right.]<br /> :Ponytail: Our overall FY2015 cyberintelligence budget was $8.1 billion-<br /> :[Interrupted by offscreen]<br /> :Offscreen: -Yet it wasn't enough to pick up on the fact the on one else had used the prefix &quot;cyber-&quot; for like a decade.<br /> :Ponytail: Shut up.<br /> {{comic discussion}}</div>
