Too often we in the IT industry (and I’m sure others) are faced with very old-school methods of doing things because “that’s how they’ve always been done.” Things change very quickly and even the method of doing something two years ago is hopelessly out of date today.

You really need to be flexible about things.

Speaking of archaic, check out these terms of use. Seriously, I don’t see the harm in putting the actual comic in my blog as long as it links back to the main comic page. I’m not a commercial site, it is in effect like me cutting the comic out of the paper and putting it on my wall. But since they made the rules I’ll follow them. Sure I’ll make fun of them, but I’ll follow them.
