商品描述

It's back to Columbia Internet, "the friendliest, hardest-working, and most neurotic little Internet Service Provider in the world," for our third installment from the hit online comic, User Friendly. The cast: Quake-obsessed techies, self-absorbed sales staff, well-meaning execs, and assorted almost-humans. The background: too little office space, warring operating systems, and eternally clueless customers.

Tag along as geeks go camping, Mike finds a new use for silly putty, and Stef decides to beef up his Quake skills with the Acme Forced-Feedback Enemy-Denial Smackdown Ergonomic Game Chair.

If you've read the first two User Friendly editions from O'Reilly, you don't need an introduction to Greg, Jeff, Miranda, the Dust Puppy and the others. But if you haven't, welcome to the world of the hard-core geek, where humor--especially at one's own foibles--can be a survival skill. Since this is true of most work environments, chances are you won't have to know Unix or be able to log in as "root" in order to get the joke.

Illiad's community is truly global--the comic's one-million-plus readers log on from Israel, Brazil, Iceland, New Zealand, and Greece, among other far-flung locations. All kinds of people seem drawn to the strip-- from 8-year-old girls to 81-year-old women--a large, diverse, and very loyal community.

 

商品描述(中文翻譯)

回到哥倫比亞網際網路,「世界上最友善、最勤奮、最神經質的小型網路服務提供商」,我們帶來第三篇來自熱門線上漫畫《User Friendly》的內容。角色包括:對《Quake》著迷的技術宅、自我中心的銷售人員、好心的高管,以及各種近乎人類的角色。背景是:辦公空間不足、作業系統之間的戰爭,以及永遠無法理解的客戶。

跟隨著這些極客去露營,邁克發現了愚蠢橡皮泥的新用途,而斯特夫則決定用 Acme 強制回饋敵人否認打擊人體工學遊戲椅來提升他的《Quake》技能。

如果你已經讀過 O'Reilly 出版的前兩本《User Friendly》,那麼你對格雷格、傑夫、米蘭達、塵埃小狗和其他角色不需要任何介紹。但如果你還沒有接觸過,歡迎來到硬核極客的世界,在這裡,幽默——尤其是對自己缺陷的幽默——可以是一種生存技能。由於這對大多數工作環境來說都是事實,因此你不需要了解 Unix 或能以 'root' 身份登入來理解這個笑話。

《Illiad》的社群確實是全球性的——這部漫畫的讀者超過一百萬,來自以色列、巴西、冰島、新西蘭和希臘等遙遠地點。各種各樣的人似乎都被這部漫畫吸引——從 8 歲的小女孩到 81 歲的女性——這是一個龐大、多元且非常忠誠的社群。
