12:00 PM
@SankarGanesh your really not helping your case here.
 
you mean the cat? technically that's an animation rather than a video.
 
Making racists and insensitive jokes is different from posting off topic content.
 
Black cat animation is cool.
 
@tombull89 yes, what happened i was not able to chat in my own room infact, ask Manjot singh that reno posting too much videos and images in a techincal room
 
@SankarGanesh As Raynos said there's a big difference comparing someone to Hitler and posting off-topic material.
 
12:02 PM
@tombull89: help me why i m getting this message You cannot talk while your account is suspended.
 
@SankarGanesh Is that not self explanatory?
 
You too suspended @SankarGanesh
But you were only banned from the Android room only
in Android on Stack Overflow Chat, 43 mins ago, by Octavian Damiean
@SankarGanesh just so you know. I took away your write access in this room. What you wrote was very offending. That kind of messages are not welcome in here.
 
@tombull89 ok when i m get my access , is that i can ask moderator , why my account suspend , i just lost permission from android room to write i think, but what happened to my account suspensuon level;
 
Octavian didn't suspend from the chat I think so.
 
Your account was auto-suspended because a message of yours was flagged as offensive by enough users to be deleted
 
12:04 PM
no I didn't, I'm not a moderator
 
@SankarGanesh That might for some mins or hrs definitely
 
@OctavianDamiean mate i m sorry , i was disappointed , i just kidded reno, but it was wrong, so u removed my write access i accept it , and i wait for it, but why account was suspensed and i can account get backs
 
1 min ago, by balpha
Your account was auto-suspended because a message of yours was flagged as offensive by enough users to be deleted
 
hey there!
 
@balpha how long it was auto suspensed , and when i can get back my access there
 
12:06 PM
Another suspension/ban war is ongoing?
 
Hey M'vy , yes
 
hey there, yes
 
but the rate is decreasing so that is a good thing
 
@balpha thank you very much
 
12:08 PM
Great @SankarGanesh Your auto-suspension will be over within 15 sec.
 
@OctavianDamiean I m sorry , pls forgive me , i will accept my punishment tell me how long i have to wait, but if reno posted those images again in techincal room , i will point out you to action , pls tell me the punisment duration , i will accept my wrong
@ManjotSingh i hav been in stack for 10 months, but unforatne i kided reno in android room , what usually he did with images but i did in words, that's it, reno has freedom but others donot have such freedom
 
can you pleeeeease stop this "posting images in a technical room" crap?
 
but I'll get my write access in SO on June 23 @SankarGanesh
 
@balpha what , cannot get you
 
@SankarGanesh I think you are utterly failing to understand the difference between posting a cat (off-topic, frowened upon) and comparing someone to hitler (offensive, bannable).

12:13 PM
@SankarGanesh look, we ain't machines. Users sometimes post funny stuff as well which is totally fine. Nowhere did I ever state that it is a problem to post such content in the Android room. Of course only if it isn't solely images and becoming spam, which it wasn't. The only person that made an issue out of it was you. As I told you I have no idea when you are going to get your access back but constantly asking for it is definitely not going to make you get it back any quicker
 
@tombull89 ok , i will correct it,
 
How much would it take to write that message(3 lines omg) Octavian?
 
not that long. I'm sure it is fully of typos and grammar mistakes. ;)
 
but It is understandable.
 
@OctavianDamiean ok No Problem , i understood, I will wait, i was feeling great that my Octavian has applied rule even to his best known frnd Sankar , Good Mate keep it up , :), I feel proud bcoz u are good in rules, rules not be missued for relationship, hand off mate
 
12:19 PM
I know you will get write access Sankar definitely.Octavian is very nice person.
You just wait and watch He will give write access to all users :)
 
aww I always miss the fun parts
... and make typos. hmph
 
no you can have while reading the history.
 
sometimes (funny/relevant) pictures helps cool down the tension in the room. and cats are adorbz
 
exactly
 
@Reno not like that, donot say you are right, stop arguing you are actions are right , in a techincal room stop avoid such things
 
12:31 PM
some people still don't get it, sigh .
 
Lets face it this has nothing to do with posting pics, I think you don't like me. Which is fine :)
 
But I like Reno ,Octavian ,Shankar Ganesh and many :)
 
22 mins ago, by balpha
can you pleeeeease stop this "posting images in a technical room" crap?
 
@Reno not like that , i like you, but pls avoid such things , that's what i m request , :), there's nothing angry on you , also i just kidded you , donot take it as serious
 
But why Shankar don't like Reno?
I know why :)
 
12:36 PM
@ManjotSingh Not like that , I like Reno, what he did , infact that action , he is also our frnd, donot say like that
 
Few days back Shankar directly ping many users and Reno tried to stop him
 
now, now. be nice while I'm not in here.
 
oh yeah almost time to leave
 
@ManjotSingh: Stop telling this , I like reno
@Reno: bye Take care,:)
 
But this is the fact which you dislike his nature.
 
12:38 PM
@tombull89 just out of curiosity do you watch Outnumbered on BBC ? :)
 
You started complaining against posting an images in technical room
 
@ManjotSingh i request him, not post images that's it, ok, there's nothing beyond on this between me and Reno,
 
I can give you proof if you will say
 
This room was placed in timeout for 2 minutes; the topic of this room is "You can checkout anytime you like, but you can never leave..." - conversation should be limited to that topic.
CAN WE JUST STOP IT?
 
@balpha: yes, how we can apply time out to every room , is this a option only to you ?
 
12:42 PM
@Reno Sometimes, why's that?
 
Limited to that topic :D
 
Oh nothing, I've seen all the three seasons and I wonder if they have started season 4 in the U.K
 
"Not available in your area" why so?
 
@ManjotSingh It's on the BBC which the license fee means you can only watch it in the UK.
untill it's released on DVD, anyway.
 
ok.
 
12:59 PM
Time to say Bye, See you all Tommorow, Bye Frnds
 
Bye Sankar Ganesh
 
1:32 PM
hi guys
 
@Damodar Hi
How are you?
 
@ManjotSingh fine dude
 
Do you have any idea of J2me or Java?
 
@ManjotSingh i have hands on experience on Java
 
Actually I started with Blackberry App development thats why I am asking you.
no issues my luck :)
 
1:45 PM
@balpha no I'm not ;)
 
1:59 PM
@jcolebrand Remember a week or so ago when you asked me why I'd largely abandoned this room? Well, there you go

@MichaelMrozek touche. I figured you left before that.

You're not contributing now are you Ben? :p
 
@balpha youz posted an off topic picture! uz must be banned!
wait, can you post an off-topic picture in an off-topic room? o.O
 
I want to know when this lounge became off-topic anything. The only thing off-topic in here is the discussion of things that are off-topic.
iow: you have to MAKE things off-topic in here.
 
2:05 PM
in that case, I kindly request that this can be made to buy on the SE Store:
 
@tombull89 saw that on reddit yest: very cute.
 
@jcolebrand alrighty, how about this one?
 
are you asking me if I've seen useless crap on the internet? :p
 
@jcolebrand haha.
 
2:22 PM
We're going on an adventure Charlie!
2
 
@mootinator \o/
 
@mootinator Charlie? Who you calling Charlie, friend?
 
is he the one that bit my finger D: ?
 
@jcolebrand has spoken! He has shown us the way!
 
@MichaelMrozek I don't get it ... I was making an Ocean's Eleven reference ...
 
2:27 PM
@jcolebrand I'm sticking with charlie the unicorn until somebody forcibly stops me
 
oh that makes more sense.
also, wouldn't it be Charlie the Tuna?
 
@mootinator To Candy Mountain!
 
I'm like 4 seconds away from losing control and quoting the entire video in here, which will probably lead to bans all around
 
charlie...we're on a bridge charliee...
 
@MichaelMrozek go for it
Mostly cos I don't know what video you guys are talking about ...
presumably this:
Charlie the Unicorn is a Flash animated short film and viral video directed, produced, animated, and written by Jason Steele of independent film company FilmCow. The film follows the life of Charlie, a lethargic unicorn, and two other unicorns who bring him on an allegedly magical adventure to the mythical "Candy Mountain". The film was envisioned by independent animator Jason Steele of production company FilmCow. Steele originally created the video as a flash animation test for his mother; the video was partially credited to her and was released by her under the username "TypeQueen" on ...
 
2:35 PM
@jcolebrand So, apparently, you haven't seen all the useless crap on the internet.
 
@GraceNote Whoa ... Grace, when did you show up to this party? Also, I didn't say I had seen everything! :p
 
Grace has magical ninja powers. You should know that.
 
@TimStone I do.
also: skypesucks. That is all.
> References to Charlie the Unicorn were made on an October 26, 2010 episode of Jeopardy.

It confuses me that you've never seen it; we watched it about 4000 times when it came out

Heh.
Sorry, I'm just using this page to be a jerk and keep a wireless session open.
 
2:38 PM
@mootinator We have a purpose! \o/
 
@MichaelMrozek who is this we you speak of? Do you have a unicron living in your apartment? I understand that you're feeling delusional @MichaelMrozek so I just want you to go and lay down now, and the doctor's will be with you shortly. Don't panic, just remember to breathe...
 
The hotel this conference is at was not prepared for 200 programmers with laptops.
 
@MichaelMrozek Yeah, to provde step by step chat/troubleshooting instructions...
 
@mootinator is any?
@tombull89 blasphemy! We are here to make wild and boundless claims!
 
@jcolebrand Oh, I'd imagine there are some Silicon Valley hotels equipped well enough ;)
 
2:41 PM
@mootinator for 200 programmers in one room? perhaps. For a full conference? no.
But I see your point.
Whereabouts are you? In .ca?

Q: Why this is buggin in Internet Explorer?

CuSSI made a website: http://www.saborearte.pt/ I don't know why the website has a bug in IE, I've tryed some workarrounds but i don't find the CSS error.

 
"Why this is buggin"
 
"I made a website" - yes. yes you did.
 
@mootinator cool
 
> We now limit users (and IP addresses) to a maximum of 6 questions per day and 50 questions per month.
And IP addresses?
That's not cool!
 
2:48 PM
It's so people can't just make new accounts/delete their cookies
 
Yep but what about people working in companies?
there may be hundreds of people with the same IP
 
If everyone in your company is asking SO questions at the same time, you may have a larger problem. :P
 
Yep but 6 questions on a pool of 100 is quickly achieved
 
I'd be thrilled if 6 people at my company used SO at all
 
And I do not judge what people are doing, but they have free time too
 
2:55 PM
I think that they accommodated the user in the one actual case this kind of thing happened.
 
well maybe
Or maybe it also work on rep?
What if John Skeet needs suddenly to ask more than 6 questions? uhhhh wait... j/k

A: How do I find my Company or App information in the online portals?

MosheIf you're looking to find a list of existing bundle ID's, click here to go to the iOS Provisioning Portal. You will be prompted to log in. Once you are logged in, look for the sidebar: Then, click on "App IDs" and scroll down. If you're looking for an App ID that you've set up for a specif...

BTW, chat search is interesting. I put in "think" and it returned lots of results with "thought".
 
speaking of chat search, there's a little something hidden in there (and has been for a long time) that to my knowledge no one has found yet

just saying :)
 
Well, it's not clippy.
So, that leaves it be 3,023,445,698,345,980,001,001 things that it could be.
 
searched for unicorn, was not dissapointed.
 
3:06 PM
@balpha :o
 
@balpha that it's impossible to use to find things easily? (ie: doesn't read my mind)
@balpha That you refuse to tell us because it would spoil some game?
@balpha That it has the power to block certain users from chat??? :p
This doesn't contain the word think at all! chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/…
also, 11k messages out of 28k on the tavern contain the word think, apparently.
that's ... quite a lot
 
I don't think that's right...welp, 11,001 now.
 
@tombull89 I rounded down in both cases donchaknow
 
oops I broke something D:
 
@Reno meh, the cats have always been there
 
3:17 PM
This chat has gone 43 0 days without a lolcat error page
 
Yay, I broke the RSS feed.
 
So can anyone think of a reason this would be a good idea?

Q: Clear all string members from object in C#

xainI have a class that contains about 500 String members and I'd like to "reset" them all by setting them to String.Empty. Can anybody tell me how to do this using reflection so I can iterate over every String member ? Thanks

500 string members??
 
I'm thinking something like resource keys
 
@TimStone that's just one of ASP.NET's many awesome "security" features
System.Web.HttpException (0x80004005): A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (?).
   at System.Web.HttpRequest.ValidateInputIfRequiredByConfig()
   at System.Web.HttpApplication.PipelineStepManager.ValidateHelper(HttpContext context)
 
once I met a guy who wanted to make 500 android screens each having its own java file. SO is a weird place.
 
3:22 PM
@balpha Uh oh, chat perceives me as a threat...I better watch out now.
 
@jcolebrand And you have a problem with using a dictionary??
 
@Hogan no, but if you have custom objects, they could have a string associated with them and other meta-data.
a dictionary, as I understand it, is like a hashtable but for any datatype
 
yeah... key / value pair
(where value can be an object)
 
so this is just a convoluted form of that pattern
anybody that has 500 anything that aren't in a list, idk ... I shake my head to begin with
 
I don't think so... it is just a jumble of 500 things
exactly!
 
3:25 PM
and list here just proves that I work too much in C# :p
I loves my List<T> no matter how inefficient they are
 
(believes that most of the time @jcolebrand and I are saying exactly the same thing -- just not communicating)
 
@Hogan probably.
 
I'm just frustrated that @Kieren made a statement this is a valid thing to do but can't back it up with a use case. I don't believe one exists.
 
How do you tie your shoes in the morning?
 
oh and all you SQL hotshots out there please comment on my question :D

Q: Emulate a TSQL sequence via a stored procedure

HoganI have a requirement to create a stored procedure which emulates a TSQL sequence. That is it always gives an increasing distinct integer value on every call. In addition, if an integer is passed in it should return that value if there has never been a result greater or the next highest integer ...

@jcolebrand I don't I wear penny loafers
 
3:29 PM
@Hogan you're killing me smalls
there's at least 18 definitive ways to tie a pair of shoes, in addition to wearing penny loafers etc
Ergo: Just because he wants to do it that particular way doesn't mean it's the wrong way to solve the problem, just that it makes the least sense to you.
It's still entirely valid (which makes it a correct way to solve the problem)
Now, I agree with you that it's dumb, but that wasn't really the question was it. The question was if it was valid.
 
@balpha I give up, we'll just have to bribe @RebeccaChernoff to tell us.
 
for whatever reason the top hit for "little bobby tables" in this room, up until this message, was
 
@TimStone you were still looking? For shame!
 
Feb 2 at 14:05, by badp
@YiJiang less Lucida, less small caps, more Georgia
 
@badpssockpuppet what the?
This may explain why we never had good luck finding stuff in the mod lounge on chat search
 
3:34 PM
I guess it's synonyming "little" and "less"
 
@jcolebrand I'm of a split mind on this. I don't think the question should be deleted... but if it was a project I was managing I would look at the requirements and use a better object model -- unless I hear of a use case where this makes sense. Of course, that won't happen.
 
@balpha What are the synonyms for "grace", since we're on the subject?
 
@Hogan You're making this too personal.
 
I am?
 
@GraceNote charm and loveliness ;)
 
3:36 PM
My point of adding to SO is I want everyone to be as good or better at programming as I -- how can it not be personal?
 
If I chat search "Grace" on Stack Overflow chat, it's almost all links to Engadget.
 
@Hogan yes, you are attacking this as tho it were your codebase to be maintained. It's not. Let it go. It's a valid design even if it code-stinks to high heaven. It's just code.
You can't force people to be better programmers.
You can only guide them and offer advice.
 
Exactly
 
@Hogan When I once started on a particular project, I used separate members instead of a dictionary so that I could use Property access like x.ServantName.
I wisened up and switched to a dictionary (and also stored it all in an XML file later on), but point is, it may not be a wise use case, but it's still a use.
 
@Hogan but listen to this: Advice unasked for is ill received. They have to want advice before you can usefully give it to them.
 
3:38 PM
No one asked him why he wanted to "reset" all of the strings? That was my first question.
 
YAY someone on my side
 
@TimStone Junk data happens sometimes, and it may be the "fastest" way to get rid of it from an inexperienced perspective.
And sometimes you can't just up and delete and then recreate the construct.
 
@TimStone pffffft logic.
 
@jcolebrand Person is about to walk off a cliff -- I shout "Stop! Don't continue walking!" they say "I don't want your unasked for advice."
 
well I sure as shit don't tackle them
I scream "there's a cliff you moron"
 
3:44 PM
heh... me too.
That would still be unasked for advice. Plus impolite.
 
@GraceNote Yeah, I guess I'm just having a hard time thinking of a use case where you'd have that many fields and also need to clear them. More of a curiosity thing than anything else.
 
Yeah, and I know some assholes that would ignore that I was screaming at them about their being a cliff
@TimStone I can only imagine loading a saving and binary object
 
Oh, hey, I was right. "Actually it'a WPF app that has 10 tabItems which contain in total 500 fields, and I'm using Bindings to map the controls with the 'huge' class."
To which even Kieren (who still states it's a valid question) suggests "Use an indexer with a proper container".
 
Right... he needs an object for each tab.
 
Ah ha.
 
3:48 PM
Yeah, it would appear I trashed my entire working code from yesterday when I left, thinking it was saved, and it was not. Go me.
Only two hours lost
 
@grace how did you find that out, I don't see it on the question
 
Also, the soln to that C# Q is enough to make me puke. There's no reason that can't be iteratable.
@Hogan probably linked Qs from the author.
 
@Hogan Comment. "@xain - that being the case, you could use an indexer property. public string this[string fieldName] { get { ... } } or a custom TypeDescriptor. Or a binding using a converter with the field name as a parameter. – Kieren Johnstone 12 mins ago"
 
Dammit @balpha, I was writing an email when you distracted me with your dreams of marvelous hidden chat search features, and I totally failed to send it until now. :P
 
I think @balpha does not have a hidden search feature... just want to QA the search box validation
 
3:52 PM
?
 
I used a descriptor of the image and it returned images...
That is it searches the image URL
 
You searched for "lolcat" and it returned messages with "lolcat" in them, including the URL. That's not really a hidden feature, it's kind of the main feature
 
@Hogan no, the url contains the word lolcat. The text is stored as the url
 
darn... ok.
 
It'll probably be fairly obvious, the others were. Ignoring [status-"easter-egg"] over here
 
3:55 PM
oooh I crashed it! fix it quick!
 
wait, what does that do @Michael?
[status-"easter-egg"]
 
[status-YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE EGG]
 
I recall there was one we all went to the sandbox for about 5000 years ago
 
aaaaaagh! I was migrated to dba.so.com, how will I ever get to 10k now?
 
4:03 PM
It is so much a programming question and not an administration question.
 
Also, did you want knowledgeable experts or a fast answer?
no, it's about the workings of the database
 
:o
 
I want the best possible / correct answer -- including walking off cliffs warnings.
 
Today is my birthday. On Stack Overflow.
 
@Hogan then you want dba.se
@TimStone that makes you ... 1?
 
4:04 PM
Indeed
 
ok... I will be happy about it.
Congrats Tim!
 
It also makes me disappointed since I'm about 9K rep lower than where I should be had I kept up my initial commitment, but. :P
 
@TimStone same here ;)
Also, is the threshold for deputy 500? I think I'll be getting a deputy badge today :D
 
Well they do have negative index values
 
@jcolebrand I wonder if that's the "little something" to which @balpha was referring.
 
try again with or without the room
there are several of them
 
I've already reloaded several times. That doesn't answer my question.
 
@PopularDemand oh, I figured it was what @balpha was referring to when you said that
 
4:31 PM
@jcolebrand I would guess that they're not real messages in the system.
 
@PopularDemand but they repeat steadily, I would've figured they were.
@PopularDemand oh, you're right, they're no...
 
Yep, that's it. And yes, the messages aren't real
 
works for either easter or egg eh?
What about when we have a real discussion about aviary offspring?
 
jeff wanted me to disallow searching for "easter egg", and I felt a plain "forbidden" was a little boring.
 
So we should /blame Jeff huh?
I feel the need to submit a meta ticket on this :p
 
4:34 PM
We'll need to come up with a code-phrase when we want to discuss easter eggs, so the conversation is searchable
status-dryer-lint
 
I like it
 
@balpha Now people won't be able to figure out what easter eggs chat has. Clever
 
@jcolebrand This feature has existed since October 19th, and nobody has complained. So I guess it's not really a problem :)
 
You should insert some fake chat transcript from Eggs McLaren
 
@balpha we need to talk about the reproductive process of reptiles more often in here I suppose.
 
4:55 PM
@jcolebrand what @Bill the Lizard does in his private time is none of our business!
 
@Pekkasothertrollingaccount THIS!!!
 
Woo-hoo, more Amazon wishlist booty!
Thanks very much to esteemed veteran user @Karim79!
I still have no idea what I did to deserve it - I can't remember having helped him out really. :)
But in any case, thanks! It was a brilliant surprise.
 
5:34 PM
One more correct flag for deputy (I stink at this game of flagging)
@Pekkasothertrollingaccount congrats!
 
@Trufa yeah, I got awarded mine today :D
 
@jcolebrand yey!
I'm waiting patiently stackoverflow.com/review/…
Where is the "thanks me too" answer when you need one?

Q: what are programming languages written in?

usealbarazerThis might sound odd, but what is the 'language' that programming languages are written in? Is it like binary, or some lower level programming language? I just can't comprehend :-|

Hey I'm on a first page of something :) stackoverflow.com/users?tab=editors
 
Grats!
 
hehe thanks,
 
5:54 PM
iz back
oh god no! You guys reminded me of Charlie!
 
Everything reminds me of Charlie
 
I must have watched that video hundreds of times :D
a land of sweets and joy, and joyness :D
hehe
seriously the bridge scene reminds me of the constant pinging here on chat :)
 
@TimStone o:
 
@RebeccaChernoff Seemed like the easier option :p
 
@OctavianDamiean From now on whenever I'm tired of a particular topic in here I'm just going to interject "we're on a bridge, Charlie!"
 
6:09 PM
:D
 
Lost, what movie/tv/book is this Charlie/bridge reference?
 
wow... speachless
 
6:44 PM
Absolutely. Terrible.
 
6:57 PM
@RebeccaChernoff If we're going to call it the shop, it should probably call itself that ;)
 
meh, that was so 20 minutes ago when I pointed out the discrepancies and asked which is correct. q:
it'll get changed. (:
 
Why did it change, anyway?
