I'm somewhat concerned, since I tend to be quite picky. However, it doesn't have to be a spectacular laptop. So long as it has enough ram and normal laptop keyboard it should be fine.
@jcolebrand Good point. She may be able to find a good deal.
Alright, I'm going go lie down for a bit and get some rest.
Well, I'm waiting for my MSP welcome kit, so I'm not shopping. :-D But generally I'm broke during Black Friday season. Not sure why, but that's how it has been.
We have a lot tags on SO containing a hyphen, e.g. visual-studio-2010 or .net-4.0, and I was sure that is a common approach for tags containing version or year.
But sharepoint-2010 is a synonym of sharepoint2010, not vice versa.
Please swap.
@YiJiangs独角兽 Thank you, Reddit, for making me curious about NDT speaking at the American Medical Association only to reveal some horrible GTKY meme instead.
I'm surprised there aren't more high-rep users in nominations. Only 5 have more rep than me (and I don't consider me to have that high of a REP, there are over 300 people with more than me)...
There seem to be two advancement paths (manager and senior coder), and different people prefer each one. I would not say there's any downside to having managers who used to be coders; the best managers I have worked for/with were engineers (previously or current).
The one caution I'd say is that...
@ircmaxell I think there's a problem with the chat's inline tags if people use them when inappropriate like for sigh but not when appropriate like for php ;)
On the elections page, candidates with a negative number of votes show zero votes until I specifically request the vote count, either by voting or by explicitly requesting it.

@AManAPlanACanalPanama Ah. A 3 way close race hovering around zero. But there's still a chance! I only see 11 candidates with a double digit score, lol! <-- corrected.
@ircmaxell Looks fine to me -- my bet is that between the time you loaded the page and the time you pulled the vote counts, two more votes had come in. Those votes kept pouring in, especially in the first few minutes
@AManAPlanACanalPanama After the last election, they decided that if someone has a negative score in the primary, they just display zero to reduce embarassment.
i have gone through the link from the email to the post (no idea where it is in terms of inbox though) and i have clicked on the moderators name, qiaochu-yuan... how do i respond to him... or ask a question...?
btw, is the only way to get a profile pik through gravitars (if i remember the term correctly)?
On the screen marked "Moderator Private Message" (the link in the email), there should be a reply option
if there isn't, let me know

@happyseaurchin If you login using Facebook, it can use your profile picture instead. That's the only alternative. (I haven't used it, so I'm not sure exactly how that works.)
interesting... i've been in a discussion with a bunch of people regarding the mozilla initiative regarding open badges, and quoted your site when i initially discovered it a few days ago
@jcolebrand I'm trying to earn it but someone is being all "who the F are you to come in and campaign because I'm never seen you before" on me. Oh well, I'm being polite, as a good mod should be.
thanks all, and @MarcGravell for the assistance... i've fired off an email to the moderator... i really like how you are running things here -- well, apart from not being able to ask a certain, admittedly odd, set of questions :)
@happyseaurchin k... but you could have replied through the message system... via the "respond" link I pointed out, or the direct link I supplied earlier... email should work, though.
@mootinator on stats.se, they get a pencil and paper
@JeremyBanks I assume that a lot more goes into the job than I realize.
But thank you for the vote of confidence!

@PopularDemand I can understand that you might not want to do it, I just think you'd do well if you ran. (Consider this a pledge to vote for you if you do decide to run next time.)
Okay wait. . . C# developer and part time theatre nerd from Canada. I'm starting to suspect this Anna Lear person is just some opposite gendered doppelganger of myself.
javascript:void($('.post-text, .vote-down-off, .vote-down-on, .vote-up-off, .vote-up-on, td[align="right"] div, .user-action-time, .reputation-score, .vt a[href^="/posts/"]').hide()); That's a great little bit of script to really see what's going on in the election
@happyseaurchin I saw, ta. I'll look in the morning. That is... odd. I know it is generally working, as I saw some replies earlier. Something must be afoot.

In the election it says that I withdrew on Novermber 7th 2011.
I did no such thing.
How can we remedy this?
