5:04 PM
I guess Jeff's reply for those scenarios is "close without any migration"
 
Which makes enough sense to me. The OP likely would have been better off just being told to go to Server Fault than the question being shuffled around like it was, especially given the bugginess of it all, heh.
Ugh, it seems my eyes are bruised..Curse you poor sleep schedule!
 
*facepalm*
 
a couple months too late tbh
The best bit about that is that the video is blocked where I am :D
 
That's not very stealthy at all.
 
@mootinator It's so obvious you're clicking to make sure it doesn't do what you'd expect it'd do.
 
6:02 PM
Great idea.
 
6:19 PM
Hmm...
 
After the 2nd bluescreen since this morning...
> Your computer was unable to start, Startup Repair is checking your system for problems...
 
"Unit tests" for code which I don't think I've changed are now randomly failing...
@RebeccaChernoff Uncool :(
To the Event Log!
 
I can't get to the event log
The startup repair is running and cannot be canceled.
 
Maybe it'll fix whatever the issue is on its own... crosses fingers
 
right...
 
6:22 PM
It actually does, sometimes.
But that sucks either way :/
 
@Rebecca :(
I hope it isn't running chkdsk. It's a weapon of mass data loss.
 
I tried to stop it before it started but it wouldn't let me
 
I dislike when my computer tells me I can't stop something.
"I'll bet I can" *finger hovers over power switch*
 
startup repair couldn't repair automatically, but then it booted up when it restarted again
 
Hm..
 
6:34 PM
My Chrome profile didn't load.
 
shakes fist at it
 
erm, not even that
 
@RebeccaChernoff If you have Google Sync enabled that shouldn't be a big deal.
 
IT DELETED MY PROFILE
 
Yeah, well, did you have any other plan for restoring your damaged profile?
 
6:40 PM
all my extensions are gone
 
They should've been synced... maybe not the userscripts though.
 
when my sister's profile didn't load, we just renamed the profile to _old, created a new one, and then copied things back into it.
 
o_O
 
extensions, themes, bookmarks
all my search engines
@#$#@%%$^%$$@!#
yet it can show me my history?
 
That seems dumb, why would it trash everything? :(
 
6:48 PM
I can't be expected to remember all the extensions I had installed. ):
There are no folders in my Extensions folder.
 
@Rebecca Didn't it sync? :(
Extension sync is wonky but...
 
I don't have sync enabled because I don't want things synced between work and here
And I have 1 computer at home that I use, from my laptop I just remote into the desktop so what is there to sync for?
 
You can choose what you sync
 
Yeah, and I chose to sync nothing to work. Heh.
 
@RebeccaChernoff Just sync 'em with different accounts.
So that they can sync with the future versions of your profile :P
 
6:54 PM
Setting up a different account is ridiculous.
 
Losing data is ridicolous.
 
Not helping.
/me grumbles.
 
Well, food for thought
Just because you don't have anything to sync with today doesn't mean you won't have in the future.
 
Syncing everything was not an option. And some things I needed to be logged into my own account. Having to log in and out of things throughout the day is absurd and not helpful in any way.
 
You don't have to sync with the Google account you're using in the browser.
I think they're separate, although I haven't tried.
 
7:01 PM
The Google account that it’s using shows up in the upper-right corner of the new tab page.
 
It wouldn't matter.
I restored an old copy of the Extensions folder, re-opened Chrome, and watch the directory empty again.
 
That's awfully rude of it >_>
 
Hehe
Well got it restored, but no closer to why it bluescreened
 
No more spontaneous deletions?
 
Either No or Not found anything else yet.
 
7:14 PM
Good stuff, though I'm still confused why it felt the need to deleted anything to begin with. What was the blue screen error, by the way?
 
Hello
 
'Ello
 
I like my word better
 
7:22 PM
I just find it funny that people whine about how often I say oy, when it isn't the most frequent uttering. (;
 
7:41 PM
played JIN against Jin
 
Jin
@tim nice one.
 
Jin
Jin is a good word.
 
@Jin Heheh, I've been stuck for the last 6 turns or so with pretty much only vowels :(
At one point I had AIIEOUU
 
Jin
I've been lucky this round, getting a good mix
 
7:46 PM
Old McDonald had a farm
 
@RebeccaChernoff :p
 
I'm getting killed in all of my games right now I think.
 
Jin
one time I had NNNOOOO
 
Hahah
Ouch, I ended up losing pretty badly that round.
@RebeccaChernoff I'm actually not that far ahead of you :)
@drachenstern is a little less fortunate at the moment :P
 
Ok, then I'm getting killed in all but 1 game
losing by 64 to drachenstern, 106 to a random player, 77 to jin...
 
7:51 PM
I need to play against people whose names start with vowels so I can take my moves in an order that lines the waiting list up to form words..
Or I could do work.
I suppose that second one is a little less insane.
 
Please, when you close off-topic, also point in the right direction

Q: What is the most popular MMO game that has an out-of-game API

hunterpWorld of Warcraft is off the table, because of the "WOW Glider Lawsuit" of 2008. Also see: Where is Blizzards official World of Warcraft API? But, what is the most popular (in terms of usership) MMO Game that does allow programmers to develop out-of-game things (like an Android app).

It sucks to close off topic twice. :(

Q: What site characteristics generate stronger favimon?

sjohnstonIn Favimon, what characteristics of a website correlate to favimon stats? E.g. Higher traffic affecting health or number of pages on the domain affecting attack. Some sites (like Google) that I expected to be heavy hitters are surprisingly weak, so I'm looking for a more scientific method of fi...

got an answer from the creator
 
awesome
 
7:57 PM
Nifty
 
8:08 PM
This board is ugly. >_<
 
Heheh, somehow I played words starting with W in my last move of my three current games.
@RebeccaChernoff I like nice, compact boards...until there's nothing to play off of.
 
yeah...heh.
 
(one of my games with Jin)
Damn me and my vague code comments! shakes fist at himself
// TODO: Remove the hard-coding, should be handled by the rule, but I'm not sure what exactly is meant to be handled, heh.
 
8:23 PM
the rule @TimStone, the rule!
 
No, no, the rule is supposed to be doing the handling!
And even that doesn't make sense in this context..
Oh, very good. I didn't write the comment. :P
 
8:39 PM
@TimStone QIS?
 
@radp Multiple QI :P
 
:|
 
qi and qat. My goto words.
 
Heheh
 
man, I could never play this game
RAGI?
GED?
AFT?
BULBED? YOW?
 
8:41 PM
You don't know AFT? :P
To be fair, I have no idea what RAGI is.
> a cereal grass, Eleusine coracana, cultivated in the Old World for its grain.
 
No, but I know what MONEJQ is
 
a hand you don't want to have at the end of a game?
 
Minus One. Not Enough JQuery. The Stack Overflow Book by That Benjamin Dumke Guy Nobody Really Knows About.
 
@radp Can I get express shipping if I order now?
 
@TimStone Sure, it's included free with a Meta Stack Overflow Premium subscription.
@MichaelPetrotta MON-ET :P
 
8:44 PM
Ah, then I have even more motivation to sign up for that now.
 
9:15 PM
@RebeccaChernoff Hm, Firefox seems pretty well-behaved since I migrated chat to Chrome. I wonder if there's an issue with the userscript or chat. :/
 
9:28 PM
run chat without the script for awhile?
 
Aye, I shall try that in a bit. I didn't see anything obvious in the script, but the thingadongdong balpha showed me didn't show anything wrong either, so I don't know who to blame yet.
 
from the link Jeff just tweeted
 
@radp I got the first one right! is so proud
Pretty nifty though
 
@TimStone indeed!
It makes me curse that I need a three finger chord for { and } though
 
Heheh
 
 
2 hours later…
11:26 PM
I've changed the SkeetStalkerâ„¢ to update the tab title for more comfortable stalking! :P
I might set the favicon too...
 
@#$@#$@#$@#$@#$ think my desktop just bluescreened again
 
@RebeccaChernoff it can has be reinstall time? :(
if you're fast you may get back to something useful by the end of Tuesday!
 
something useful by tuesday?
 
*usable
you know, Chrome VS MSDN DVORAK extensions userscripts github etc.
in other news:
 
This is my home pc. All my personal stuff, oof.
 
11:37 PM
Who'd use document.title = 'New title' when you can do $("title").text("New title")?
 
Need to turn in my laptop on Monday. Not a good time to have issues with my desktop. Grr.
 
@RebeccaChernoff Ouch. I wonder where the problem is...I saw the BSOD information you posted earlier, but it didn't say what the error code was. shakes fist at Microsoft
@AidenBell 'Ello there. Did your country do something to anger the snow gods or something? :P
 
11:57 PM
@TimStone - I figure I owe you one response from my fleeting visits. Where I live didn't get it too bad this time. Thing is, in the UK, there is a difference between where I am (in the north) getting 2 feet of snow and London getting 20cm.
If London gets 20cm, it is snowpocalypse, but if the north gets 2 feet then "some snow went down somewhere" even though the rarity is the same. The BBC, despite it's coverage not being local to London freaks out if it snows in London because the overpaid "reporters" had a hard time getting their mocolatechino that morning and are, understandably antagonistic.
 
So I just noticed I have more MSO rep than Joel Fucking Spolsky.
This clearly must be corrected.
 
@radp - sounds like a bug
 
@radp, offer a 100 rep bounty.
I'll volunteer to be the recipient.
 
It would be more expedient to have a 50 rep bounty to be awarded to Joel himself.
 
@#$@%%$^#$%@#$#$%%$^$% blue screen #4? ):
 
11:59 PM
@AidenBell Hahahahah, very good then. :P
