@drach who here is from israel? (or, rather, don't look at me, I'm not israeli.)
(I know you know but I'm just making sure. I've been mistaken for Israeli before.)

I'm on iOS and I need this image link fixed. I forgot the syntax. Long story short, mobile site has a banner bug:

Q: Mobile site banner bug

MosheThe login banner and the "you've been autologged in" banner conflict with each other. This does not make much of a difference for me as far as usability goes, but the redirect link becomes impossible to use. !Broken banners screenshot

Please change the link into a screenshot. I forgot the syntax.
 
I've voted to close as a duplicate instead :P
Hm, I was going to fix the image too, but they one you've linked to is super huge for some reason.
 
@TimStone it's a retina screenshot.
@TimStone thanks. I figured it out. Used the original as a reference.

@Moshe That's horrible.

A: What Experts-Exchange thinks of Stack Overflow

Eric_Pete[Disclaimer: I'm one of Jason's fellow admins; feel free to edit the signature if it's appropriate to do so.] @Randolf Richardson: Jeff Atwood has been calling SO the "anti-Experts-Exchange" for as long as SO has been around. @Bill The Lizard: EE probably knows as much about SO as SO knows abou...

plop
 
YOU DRUNK PEOPLE!
 
wait a minute you haven't accepted that answer Olafur
 
@ÓlafurWaage I didn't know you can consume humans in liquidated form. Please, show me where I can acquire such drinks
 
I tried to accept all yesterday
@YiJiang The drunk store.
"You can accept your own answer in 1 hour"
HAH
 
9:01 AM
@ÓlafurWaage But... Humans, will they blend!!?
 
You know what I hate about FF 4 and Chrome?
If pages have long titles, you can't read them directly.
 
@YiJiang ew.
 
Muha, suggested edits down from 14 to 2
 
@ÓlafurWaage Hurrah for collaboration!
 
HUZZAH!
I just found out that the room I'm currently working in. Is the AI lab for this university.
 
9:05 AM
horay for science. and collaboration. But still science.
 
Aye, science rocks
I think the meta tavern is much better than the vanilla tavern
 
Yes we can have meta drinks!
 
I don't know man, I asked science for a photonic (ie. lazars!) mosquito fence and all I got was a lousy mosquito coil
 
/resists posting Portal 2 joke.
 
Ok let's advertise me a bit. But what do you think of this:

Q: Flagging summary improvement : filters

M'vyHere is my flagging summary on SU. Your flagging history 32 posts flagged as requiring moderator attention 2 are waiting for review 3 were marked valid 1 were marked invalid (older flags were not recorded valid/invalid) 2 posts marked as spam It is too complicated to look for let's...

 
9:16 AM
@YiJiang that guy was here in Iceland a while back talking about that lazer fence.
 
I don't know if there are many people caring about their flags
 
@Mvy I do
 
He said it detected the vibration of the fly, since only the female mosquito have the disease and their vibration is different from the male one.
 
vibration detection???
 
@ÓlafurWaage What was he doing in Iceland, where there are no mosquitoes? Grrr... should've came here, where he could do test out his theories in practice, on the mosquitoes in my backyard
 
9:18 AM
And it's auto targetting?
 
@Mvy Read the article :P
 
oh yes midflight :P
 
that fence would not be a new concept, everyone who has played C&C Tiberian Sun knows that
 
@YiJiang there was a game design conference. The guy that designed it is also a game designer i believe.
 
Besides you can now zap your mother in law :P
 
9:22 AM
@ÓlafurWaage If I was a little younger I would've said "When I grow up, I want to be just like him"
 
Hehe
IIRC what that company did was to put a few people of different backgrounds into a room and make them figure out something cool. And they made this.
 
hi M'vy
is there any platform to contact to SO users other than this chat
@M'vy
 
@Damodar Not unless they mention any other means on their profile page
 
@Yi Jiang :(
 
for a very good reason :)
 
9:27 AM
SO is not designed for social networking
 
@Reno : you are rite. But here all are experts , someone want to have any suggestion of carrier path desing etc
how can they contact to them
 
SO is for programming questions, there are other stack exchange sites for other things.
 
pigeons
 
why because, take an example of Jeff ... he is great guy, without his thoughts there is no SO today
 
Well @Damodar I don't know
may be in their profile if they have a contact
 
9:31 AM
which is great and stuff but it doesn't have anything to do with your question :D
 
Or maybe if you are a mod :P
 
btw whats "carrier path desing" ? :P
 
Imagine, if you would, if Jon Skeet had an e-mail on his profile. How many messages would he get a day?
 
Maybe he will hit the daily email cap
 
@octavian @Reno Ya take Jon Skeet, multi talented guy, with in short age
 
9:33 AM
@tombull89 well as he is Jon Skeet he'd be able to handle that but still he might not want to which might result in him getting angry and destroying the planet
 
@OctavianDamiean Shush now, the almighty Skeet hears and knows all. What you say may anger him!
 
oh god I didn't think about that, lets hope for the best
 
@Reno , how he able to get that knowledge, me to java developer, to be sustain in java iam dieing dialy :)
but how is managed to have knowledge in multiple languages
 
@Damodar by studying them? just a wild guess

9:37 AM
@Reano nice clip
 
@tombull89 he does
 
@balpha wut. Ok, bad example.
 
hey balpha o/
 
ya i can agree , if we have message system , there will be floods of messages to top guys
but still i feel , i dnt have chance to get suggestions from those guys :(
 
@Damodar suggestions like what?
 
9:40 AM
see in india , java developers are more, out of 100, 65 are java developers
so compition is more among them... only well effencient guys will be in gud pay, mine aim is to be perfect at technical... also java architect , so how to achieve those thing, i have 4 years of experience...
@octavian do i ask any vage question, y all are calm?
 
That is a very subjective question.
 
@Damodar well it is more because it is quite self-explanatory if you ask me
How could you improve in something (it really doesn't matter in what)?
 
@octavian ok
 
the answer is, by just practicing. In the software world it is by picking a problem ans trying to solve it for example.
 
BTW I think it would be better to see : Jon Skeet wants to be your friend than the contrary :P
 
9:56 AM
definitely
 
@OctavianDamiean I lurk in here because it's a m.so chat room, although I'm more active on SU and SF. All of my knowledge is self taught, I don't expect anybody to give me step by step instructions on how to do my job. Guidance and advice, yes, but not do my job for me.
 
@tombull89 it was not towards you but as an answer to Damodar. I'm also not here to give any advices on that honestly
 
@OctavianDamiean yeah I've realised that now.
sorry for misunderstanding.
 
no probs :)
 
@octavian sorry dude , for the sack of me you got blammed
 
10:14 AM
For lunch, I'm having pink pasta with pepperoni and ham.
 
Lunch is in an hour or so.

Q: Better way to decode binary coded decimal (BCD)

Golden LeeDear Sir, I totally have 3 questions. All of them are concerned with binary coded decimal (BCD) conversion. My coding snippets are listed as follows. But I don't satisfy my algorithem because my user cant't wait such a long time when dealing with tons of data. Any performance improvement solution...

@OctavianDamiean Well, the weather doesn't change throughout the year either except for precipitation, but that doesn't change much either
 
@olafur really dnt heared that place
 
We still have snow here in the northern region. Which is quite rare for us.
 
11:01 AM
best thing about Singapore, :)
 
@Damodar what place?
 
oh yea we have snow too, quite a low actually :/

@Reno Might be the worst thing too. I mean, if you don't like warm places this place is hell - its hot and sticky, and there's no reprieve in winter
 
@Olafur seattle
 
You don't know where seattle is? (I'm not there by the way)
This is on the eastern shore of Iceland. Taken by webcam just now. vegagerdin.is/umferd-og-faerd/vefmyndavelar/fagridalur_1.jpg

@Damodar It's a song.
 
11:53 AM
@ÓlafurWaage you are enjoying at ur work place.... great
 
Skype is down, long live Skype :)
 
Is that... a room in SO chat claiming to be 'professional' yet uses 'hey guys' in its room description and an all caps room name?
 
@YiJiang, don't tell me, the only thing that is lower case is the i's ? :)
 
"android solver" I lol'd
 
@Reno u back again
iam getting script error in down to this chat room
may be its IE7 specific
Line : 130
Char : 480
 
12:02 PM
@Damodar Dude, you really shouldn't be using IE7 with this - your experience will be very much improved if you use a better browser
 
messge : object doesnt support this property or method
 
@YiJiang some people don't have a choice :(
 
@YiJiang i have only browser in my machine is IE7
 
download chrome obvs
 
@tombull89 I know, but if you can, I mean... just...
 
12:04 PM
@YiJiang yeah yeah. I'm on IE8...
 
@Reno i dnt have Admin previlages to download and install in office :(
 
@Damodar Both Firefox and Chrome do not need admin privs now to install
 
@YiJiang but i should not install any software without knowing to Admin, there is chance of firing me
 
Ah well, sucks to be you
 
Yano I've heard that some corporate companies do that to save bandwidth.
 
12:07 PM
@YiJiang very confidential , even i cant carry cam mobile to my seat
@Reno sometimes i feel its as preson
but it provide me food tooo, i cant blame that...
 
Jail break then ;)
 
ohhh everone went calm ......
 
@Benjol Skype is having issues. @skype on twitter
 
me to have skype , but using only at home
 
12:32 PM
Skype suffers a disastrous crash, users question Microsoft buyout - really~?
 
@tombull89 i updated it to new version, from that point , when ever i login for first, its hangging my machine. Some times messages reaches very late....
 
Looks like it is on Skype's end, just need to wait.
 
@mootinator - what's horrible?
 
12:48 PM
Because of an update to the chat, things may go a little crazy for a moment. Should just be a few minutes, and you may not even notice anything.
??
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I've gone crazy
 
I got that.
 
lol
 
UNICORNS! I SEE UNICORNS!!
 
TIL the only proper noun in Icelandic not written with a capital first letter are the names of the devil.
 
dropdown banner! Our old friend!
 
12:50 PM
Things are going crazy here
 
@Reno Well actually, only ourselves
But I swore I'm seeing UNICORNS
 
(I'm only joking)
 
@Reno YES! Yes you are! You're a unicorn! Good unicorn!
 
Any visible updates ? o_O
 
nope, that's just backend stuff
 
12:54 PM
@Reno Shirley you'd have to refresh to see any, hmmm?
 
I went to M.SO as suggested, expected ponies. Was dissapointed.
 
@tombull89 Egad!
 
lol
