I would think "archive.org mirror" means a mirror of [company]'s website on archive.org, not a mirror ''of'' archive.org. [[User:Sjorford|Sjorford]] ([[User talk:Sjorford|talk]]) 11:51, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

:But a mirror of archive.org would be funny because a) it's essentially a mirror already and b) it would be absolutely enormous. [[Special:Contributions/141.101.70.55|141.101.70.55]] 23:25, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

::I think a mirror of the company's site on archive.org would be much funnier, because it would imply that this whole stack is pointless because it recursively requires a mirror of its own operation as part of itself.

There actually was something called "MacromediaJava" (one word). Before Alchemy/FlasCC/CrossBridge, there was an earlier C-to-AS3 compiler meant to demonstrate how cool the AS3 runtime is. Someone managed to port enough of Kaffe and Classpath to it to build a replacement for the Java Plugin that ran applets in Kaffe under FlashPlayer instead of directly in Java. It didn't work on most applets, and was slow and glitchy, and it was never meant as more than a demonstration, and normally I'd say there's no way anyone would be referring to that in 2016… but given the theme of this comic, the XKCD stack may be the one place where it was used. --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.255.82|162.158.255.82]] 23:34, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

I changed the table in the transcript to a list. If this fits the requirements for transcripts, please remove the incomplete-tag. --[[User:LaVe|LaVe]] ([[User talk:LaVe|talk]]) 22:36, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
 
:Thanks for bringing this up, but removing that table means you have to explain it. Furthermore have a look at the standard layout like I've done. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 23:48, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
