I'm pretty depressed that I'm finally one of the people posting this, since I'm usually telling those people "you're obviously wrong", but either I don't understand how consecutive day counting works or this seems impossible:
The last activity count is right; I was on SO at about 18:30Z yester...
The "William Tell Overture" is the instrumental introduction to the opera William Tell by Gioachino Rossini. There has been repeated use (and sometimes parody) of this overture in popular media, most famously for being the theme music for the Lone Ranger radio and television shows. It is quoted by Dmitri Shostakovich in his Symphony No. 15. William Tell was composed in 1829 and was the last of Rossini's 39 operas, after which he went into semi-retirement, although he continued to compose cantatas, sacred music, and secular vocal music. Franz Liszt prepared a piano transcription of the ove...
RE King Atwood's threats, I doesn't believes it are going to happens any times soon.
I happens to has two house right now (both of which is under the waters, so plz contacts me if you is a mortgage brokers), and I uses a doubly random random-number generators to decides which houses I stays in a...
I originally posted this on the Programmers Meta here, but as @MichaelMrozek pointed out, the same typo is present in all sites' messages.
The banner message for new/not-logged-in users reads
Welcome to Q&A site for [site-specific description]...
There should be an article in there:
...
@PopularDemand It seems to only be wrong for some of the sites. Some of them (including SOFU) say "Welcome to Q&A for [type of person]", while the rest have "site" jammed in there for some reason.
Eh, probably for the best. I can imagine a lot of people getting in trouble for "Don't wait up, I'm going out to meet an 11-year-old girl I've been talking to online."
@JeffAtwood You know what I don't understand about this whole webapps.stackexchange.com shebang?
webapps.stackexchange.com is linked to from StackOverflow
and should be keeping its previous pagerank per virtue of the 301 redirect
this should lead in a huge increase of PageRank
I don't have the hard data, obviously, but I have to guess it's much higher than the effect whatever domain name the site happens to have may be able to bring
NothingToInstall.com
I just registered it. Succinctly conveys WHY web applications are awesome and we love them. Easy to spell, easy to pronounce, no hyphens, impossible to misinterpret.
By the way, when trying to serve CSS as a static file, I tried updating my`app.yaml` file, and apparently I had to move the default handler to the bottom of the list. Does it make sense that it should be order sensitive?
@Moshe it's a trade-off -- on the one hand, it's easy, and probably more secure than anything you (or I) could come up with, on the other hand, you'd relinquish control and require your users to have a google account
in my application a user can post his/her article that other users can response upon ans vote up and down also like stackoverflow has for posted question ans answers.
How can I restrict user so that he/she can't vote twice ?
The unique poll/vote/survey i mean here is, user can only vote once. How do i do that? Track their ip? Login? Beside login, what else? (login is my last option, thus beside login, is there anything else I can do?)
Voting contests seem to gain a lot of attention from people who want to game a system for fun. I know I spend a good amount of time fooling around with their forms and URLs, deleting cookies and writing the occasional crappy script.
Is there a way to create a foolproof voting system that only al...
@balpha - I just had another take on the vote thing. If someone is bored enough to spend time pushing a router name, so be it. It must be popular then.
