Has anybody made a gallery of real implementations of Randall Munroe's hilarious...

Also, geohashing

I'm waiting for 1Password to implement 936. http://xkcd.com/936/

It's not that I don't trust 1Passwords generation algorithm, but when I'm on a borrowed PC (wife's laptop, inlaws desktop or even at work where I can't install 1P) this would help. It's much easier to open 1P on my iPhone, look up a password and type in "correct horse battery staple" than to constantly have to refer back to my phone.

I actually changed my way to pick password thanks to that comic. There are longer and usually with the same entropy, but so much easier to remember!

I just wish my password manager would do that automatically. I know there are terminal scripts and apps that will do it. I'd just like it to be integrated.

Dropbox did implement this one in their password strength meter; try typing any of the passwords from the xkcd strip :).

I suppose wetriffs might also count.

Never forget the "import antigravity". I can't think of another comic idea that was implemented in a mainstream language. :-)

Burn the infidel implying that elisp isn’t mainstream!

Don't forget the YouTube audio comment preview.

I remembered the comic but but I hadn't seen the actual game, hell tetris that is, he was right, it is hell. http://www.swfme.com/view/1046212

Not quite his comic idea, but you might also be interested in Not Tetris[0], which is a little less hellish and quite a lot of fun.

Awesome thanks!

someone did this, as I recall, ordering random cheap items from ebay. Actual implementation might have been from amazon though

It's documented at http://randomshopper.tumblr.com/ FWIW.
