Is it possible to configure web access to work with Mail for Mac, either directly, or through a proxy gmail account? My school uses an outlook based system. Setting up on iOS is a breeze, but for some reason, I can't get it to work on Mail for OS X Lion.

Hey, is it crazy to try to get a DevDays like event at my school? With the whole SO gang.
Well, not necessarily everyone, but, something would be cool.
It kinda bugs me to see the CS dept the way it is. The profs are nice and all, but the websites are outdated. How hard is it to get CS students to do some volunteer work?
I'd help out.
Also, I can't access the BC email with Exchange, need to use IMAP, because there's invalid SSL set up.
@RebeccaChernoff - Would you be someone to speak to about that, since you're a CHAOS member?
@GeorgeMarian Do you have any thoughts? I've only been there for 2 days, so I don't want to jump into a meta post... I'm curious to ask around here first.
> Father of Java James Gosling has quit Google and turned his back on tier-one tech companies altogether by joining a California start-up which makes unmanned ocean-going robots.
@RebeccaChernoff nothing short of causing trouble... May I quietly ask if you think my duplicate flag for this question should be invalid? Note the accepted answer noted that it's a duplicate.
@RebeccaChernoff Sorry to be an occasional thorn in your side.
@RebeccaChernoff No, I mean for a future event. I wasn't necessarily talking about the current round of DevDays. I'd just like to see a DevDays like event, or an SO event at my Uni.
That, I take offense to. My time is precious. As is yours. As is everyone's. Personally, I sleep four to five hours so that I can do my job & spend time with my family & contribute here. Losing two-three hours of a contribution here is a big deal, to me. It makes me not want to continue contributing. But then again, ....at about 7K in reputation I really haven't contributed that much anyway.
A lower flag weight does not in any way devalue your past contributions. The fact remains is that things were cleaned up that would have been otherwise overlooked, there's value in that as well.
I still think it would be better if flag weight wouldn't be displayed at all. If you give people a metric, they will strive to increase it. If you then introduce a system that punishes a "wrong" decision by 10 times what you can "earn" with a "right" decision, it makes for unpleasant experiences and complaints.
I totally agree it's not a big deal either way, but it's a deviation from the principle of how SO works otherwise IMO
@EatmoreTwisters this is where I come from. I try not to take these little things to heart, but it is frustrating -- especially when I've realized a mistake and been powerless to undo it.
one further small comment -- we aren't getting any reputation for this work -- the only thing we have to look at is flag weight. Hence why it appears to matter more, much more than it should.
@RebeccaChernoff I know. Sorry to sound flustered.
To play devil's advocate, there also isn't any method in place for calling into question a decision. Most everything here is reviewable -- but flagging decisions are usually closed quite quickly. This is one of those few places where the Stack Exchange engine is actually permitting personal opinions to rule. Ok wow. Soap box ceded. g'nite all.
@M. The generic counter-argument to that is that a flag is such a small drop in the ocean, a full review process for each one would clog the process way too much - there being hundreds or thousands of flags a day. I tend to agree
Darn you Gawker. I really want to see a pic of that mockPad, but I refuse to bow to your ridiculous requirement to have JavaScript enabled to see anything of value on your site.
I'm planning to get a few of the Chinese knock offs to play with once I have a little disposable cash. The two I've played with were actually rather nice .. more or less the screen size you'd get with an IPad, but with Android and more options (dual SIM, dual micro SD, etc)
Well, it's proof that when you combine the most desirable features from a few competing products into one, you end up with something rather cool. I'm just worried about plunking down $250 - $300 on something that isn't going to live very long. Still, the devices seemed to be reasonably well constructed.
@balpha or @TimPost I have seen something like "StackCentral", which was site to show all statistics from all stackexchange profiles I own. Does anybody have clue what was the URL? I think I have seen it in your profile(s)?
@TimPost NoNoNo... it was external application which was taking data from API. There was graphs, and a lot of more stuff not visible on class SE profile
I do rate limiting for some of the low level RESTful API's I've written, and quite frankly I find it easier to leave that kind of logic to something else like HAProxy .. and keep that clutter out of my core code
that lets me stop caring about a bunch of stuff, like DoS'ing due to slow requests, etc as far as my code is concerned, and then I just roll out the program bundled with HAProxy, or something similar
If that's not an option, something token based can work, but that necessitates a bit of cruft in your sessions which can be problematic
So this session has token abcdefg, and 112 requests have come with token abcdefg. Since tokens live only for 60 seconds, it's pretty easy to start rejecting them
Yeah, you can define a lot of rules that apply to certain requests. You might want to rate limit something that can't be cached and always has to run a query, but not rate limit a request that hits a cache 99.9% of the time
That's why I love just keeping that out of my code completely, really simplifies things
But doesn't it lost it's magic? I though that loadbalancer is just like router - pings to two servers for example and which responses faster, is winner to procccess request?4
So there are soft and hard, hard is working as router, it means it redirects to server which is availble and soft one is doing the same just in software interface?

@balpha I dont like google-code Mind if I make a github clone of pagedown? (It also needs a package.json file & a npm registry to be compatible with node.js)
a) I don't like google code either, b) it's open source, clone all you want, c) "to be compatible with node.js" -- that's just wrong; npm is a completely independent project from node.js, it works fine without it, d) but as you can see on the issues page, it's planned
Oh. It's confusing. http://stackauth.com/1.1/users/364a02a2-f094-480c-955e-986ede9826b7/associated is without these details and http://stackauth.com/users/364a02a2-f094-480c-955e-986ede9826b7/associated with
I've been keeping a pretty close eye on the mini site. It's difficult to tell if some questions (not quite as absurd, but close to) that are actually serious or just practical jokes.
But for the most part, it seems to be going really well.
I think it's a mix of things that determine placement .. last activity (edit or answer), views, votes, favorites, etc
However I notice that when I convert an answer to an edit of a question, it doesn't get bumped. So I'm sure there's even more special sauce in the mix.
@genesis The source code to Stack Exchange is not open, so your only hope is to look at the results and work back to the most efficient way of obtaining them.

@TimStone Except of course mine was so barebones it didn't even have the option of closing questions. Or reputation magical internet points, for that matter
Moderator tools and privileges was next on the to do list, but I ran out of time, so I just submitted this
Community Tracker is probably one of the best adaptations of SO that I've seen. It's not an outright clone, it's just a project that took the basic idea and applied it to something else.
To me that's a much better exercise than outright cloning something. Just take the elements you really like from something and apply them to a different concept
anyways, we were looking at it last night so that's why I had @lerted you. Though really we were looking more at how to indicate you could hover instead of the actual hover animation.
