That said, when I heard about it just now and searched for news, the top two results suggested something alarming:

    Are you suggesting that Microsoft paid some raptors to go blow up eBay?

  2. Kevin Says:

    My take on that second headline is that Microsoft is trying to buy eBay’s sports team, the eBay Pirates.

    …Are you suggesting that xkcd had something to do with this? Preposterous! He’s a leading anti-raptor advocate.

    exp(pi*sqrt(-1)) = -1 or exp(2*pi*sqrt(-1)) = 1

    From exp(i*theta) = cos theta + i sin theta? Or was that the point of the joke?

    We, as the enemies of Microsoft, will need to put away our petty differences if we are to assault the power of the Empire:
