I noticed, that was quite the transition. I somehow feel defeated inside.
@badpssockpuppet Respectable answer. Turns out the fact that the room showed up was a bug anyway, though, on account of it being frozen. Yet another chat ad issue, heh. ;)
I should have made that tag just so I could gather up fist-shaking points towards it.
I'm looking for some headphones that will be aesthetically (and acoustically) pleasing when combined with my MacBook Pro (2011, aluminum unibody).

Over-the-ear style (not earbuds or ear-canal buds) in order to block out some outside noise and avoid leaking noise.

@Rebecca. BTW, I've worked out why I don't downvote much: there's no built in mechanism for notifying me that something I've downvoted may have got better and need my attention. I'm too lazy to favourite them all or keep a list. So only things that a irrecoverably bad tend to retain my attention - and they get flagged or close votes.
I am for this system provided there is an adjustment:
Cap question rep at 500
Allow for another 500 rep more from questions per 2000 rep gained.
Question rep means, all rep generated by question upvotes and accepts.
Overall this change will affect less than 1000 users on Stack Overflow. ...

OK, so in the spirit of Code-Golf, I'm trying out something new here: Code-Bowling.

Here's a short and elegant shell solution:
#!/bin/sh
{ seq 1 "$1"; seq 1 "$2"; } | wc -l
It's great for when you want to add a couple natural numbers that aren't too big.
Here is a generalized version that sums all the arguments:
#!/bin/sh
for i in "$@" ; do
seq 1 "$i"
done | wc -l
New users are frequently asked to raise their accept rate, format their code, read the faq, etc. Unfortunately sometimes old timers get frustrated doing this, which results in the comment being quite terse and sometimes rather rude.
How about having a small collection of template comments with e...
Hey
This is going to take a long while to explain, but the short version is that I am currently attempting to compile the LLVM GCC frontend for ARMv7 to compile apps for the Cortex-A8(iPhone 3GS). I'm running into an error from LD when compiling libgcc(part of the gcc compilation process) that h...
One of my customers is forwarding me bounce messages which look like facebook Phishing attempts... but I can't determine how they are bouncing back top her.. :-/

That's odd, since c2 is later used in bitwise addition
def encode_count(iterations)
case iterations
when 0..1024 then 0
when 65011712..(1.0/0) then 255
else
count1 = iterations >> 6
count2 = (count2 || 0) + 1 while count1 >= 32 && count1 >>= 1
result = (count2 << 4) | (count1 - 16)
result += 1 if decode_count(result) < iterations
result
end
end
Initially, one or more hash contexts are set up as with the other S2K
algorithms, depending on how many octets of key data are needed.
Then the salt, followed by the passphrase data is repeatedly hashed
until the number of octets specified by the octet count has been
hashed. The one exception is that if the octet count is less than
the size of the salt plus passphrase, the full salt plus passphrase
will be hashed even though that is greater than the octet count.
After the hashing is done the data is unloaded from the hash
That sounds like more food than I have had this AM
Am I the only one that hears "oops, gotta run, ttyl" about 10 times a day when I try and start convos with people? Am I just repulsive even in chat windows? Interesting phenomenons
Since ASP.NET is nonproprietary and all that ... and since just about everyone should have that on a production IIS server so it's not hard to find

@PopularDemand I started with a comment about Jon Skeet's Tony the Pony sockpuppet, but since that started to spiral off into a dangerous direction, I'll just respond with the typical: Unicorns!
Accidentally leak your server setup?
There's plenty of room for tweaking the exact links, of course. Entries like adminPanel.htm could link to all sorts of, uh, non-standard mod abilities; for example, a form that lets you punch in a user ID and see who has submitted flags against that user.
When your flag weight is shown, and below 500, you can see it move if you flag. But once you hit 500 you can't be sure that your flag quality is still good - if you flag half a dozen badly and another 6 well, your weight stays at 500.
Is there any way, short of keeping a record of each flag and...
Stemming from discussion at Flag weight 500: How can you tell if you're still flagging correctly?
Statistically speaking, the current system is broken.

@HoLyVieR it's usually done every 3-6 hours depending I think on expected load for the scheduler. Badges are rewards not rights, so just be happy when you get them
I've been on "flag weight 500 (max)" on main for a while (probably the best part of a day, if not longer), but I've not been awarded the Deputy badge.
I'm I missing something or is this a bug?
