Personally I like this one:
P.S. Do not hotlink the cartoon without the site's permission please.
This question is related to
language-agnostic
The answer is
I knew it was true. XKCD #224
"We lost the documentation on quantum mechanics. You'll have to decode the regexes yourself."
Of course, xkcd!
Can't help but love it...
Religious debates are always fun!

Oh! There can be only one:
It's sooo funny, because it's true :)

The other one I love and couldn't find the image for has the punchline "Failure Mr. Jones, is hardly original. Now sit down."
Also from the Bloom County strip.
John Martz has a blog entry to go with this. 
I think the IT consultant's image is the best:
Reasons why people who work with computers have a lot of spare time

I wrote a production website that has the path /dev/random/ return 4 because of this comic.
Another great Foxtrot comic. Possibly the most incomprehensible-to-non-geeks comic to sneak into the newspaper funnies.
Tragically, my favorite cartoon is too old to be on the interwebs.
It's from Datamation. (Remember Datamation?) A man is sitting at a desk. There are bits of electronics everywhere. Rubble is strewn into every corner of the room. His face and hair are singed.
He is thinking "It's never done that before."

Some engineer out there has solved P=NP and it's locked up in an electric eggbeater calibration routine. For every 0x5f375a86 we learn about, there are thousands we never see.

My all time favorite is probably xkcd's "Sudo make me a sandwich" comic, but there are SO MANY good webcomics out there that I thought I'd throw some others out for fun:

Hackles is frequently about programming. This one's probably my favorite: Hackles, by Drake Emko & Jen Brodzik http://hackles.org/strips/cartoon334.png It's not quite a programming comic, but I also really dug this strip from Full Frontal Nerdery:

Ten reasons you know you're living in 2009
- You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
- You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
- You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
- You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
- Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
- You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.
- Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
- Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
- You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.
- You're reading this and nodding and laughing. :)

('Are you stealing those LCDs?' 'Yeah, but I'm doing it while my code compiles')
I have this one pinned to the wall facing the entrance to our office :)
(I hear this is an option in the latest Ubuntu release.)

For those who have worked at Accenture www.bigtimeconsulting.com has some awesome ones...
Here are just a few:
Another great Foxtrot comic. Possibly the most incomprehensible-to-non-geeks comic to sneak into the newspaper funnies.
Fax me some electricity, please?
Tragically, my favorite cartoon is too old to be on the interwebs.
It's from Datamation. (Remember Datamation?) A man is sitting at a desk. There are bits of electronics everywhere. Rubble is strewn into every corner of the room. His face and hair are singed.
He is thinking "It's never done that before."
(I hear this is an option in the latest Ubuntu release.)
SPOILER ALERT!!!
While not specifically about programming per se....wanting to program games is what got me interested in IT in the first place....
anyway this one made me laugh so hard when I saw it!
I'm going to show my age with the this 1993 classic: On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog.
Lately I started reading Geek Hero Comic. My favorite parts so far:

I didn't see this one which is one of my favorite xkcd :
(His books were kinda intimidating; rappelling down through his skylight seemed like the best option.)
This is from Steve Yegge talking about the verbosity of Java.
Of course, xkcd!

"We lost the documentation on quantum mechanics. You'll have to decode the regexes yourself."
My all time favorite is probably xkcd's "Sudo make me a sandwich" comic, but there are SO MANY good webcomics out there that I thought I'd throw some others out for fun:
A co-worker pointed me to Sticks and Stones, which just got started pretty recently. It's sort of an xkcd ripoff, but there's some good stuff in there. alt text http://www.arcanology.net/sticksandstones/comics/comic-10.gif
Hackles is frequently about programming. This one's probably my favorite: Hackles, by Drake Emko & Jen Brodzik http://hackles.org/strips/cartoon334.png It's not quite a programming comic, but I also really dug this strip from Full Frontal Nerdery:
