Since it's more or less an unwritten law that someone most post a message on the RinkForum regarding the Reader Poll of the day, I'll give my opinion on this one:

I like Things People Said better than Computer Stupidities for two reasons--A) TPS covers a broader range of subjects, so it never feels repetetive; while some of the slip-ups on CS begin to all blur together after a while. B) I almost always get the jokes in TPS, but while reading CS my thoughts usually runs something like this "initialize things in an assert?....Huh?....what's an EXE?....oops, I thought that *was* how you code HTML...28.8?....9600 bps?...I'm lost". In other words, I'm too computer illiterate to even understand half the jokes. Oh well.

M"and that's my $0.02"el
