@TimStone from some time today, link only answers are going to be banned, I added an html parser that strips to text before measuring the length of the post — waffles41 mins ago
How many of you feel that the first vote on a borderline good-bad question determines all the rest of the votes?

It feels like it usually does.

Depends on the community, some vary in bandwagonishness. (Or at least it feels like that. It's hard to tell how much is imagined; I've never tracked it.)
Proposed Q&A site for just as there is a code review site where expert programmers are asked about concrete programming snippets, there could be a proofreading site where expert writers are asked about writing snippets and forms (poems, metaphors, analogies, tech writing)
Currently in definition.
Does this guy realize that Code Review has been in beta for 477 days? o.o
I was just reading the Terms of Service, and noticed something:
Subscriber certifies to Stack Overflow
that if Subscriber is an individual

Subscriber is at least 13 years of age. No one under the age of 13 may

@Shog9 I believe it's SmartFilter. Appears to be working again now, but I don't know if that's because SmartFilter updated their database, or the sysadmin here introduced an exception (I never got an answer back from the helpdesk).
So this was a false positive by McAfee (that filtered down to workplace proxies and filters), we pinged them with the relevant info and got it removed from their malicious list. Here's that email response:
Hello Mr. Craver,
Thank you for bringing this error to our attention.

Yeah those badges usually get awarded within 15 minutes.
@TimManishEarth That was my first gold badge on SO. I remember I got both of them at the same time, I believe when they first created the badge. I was confused because at the time I was still somewhat unfamiliar with the badge system and didn't understand what the text for the badge meant.
@animuson I think that happens during some kind of automated process. Area 51 is designed to require very little moderation. Proposals that languish (IIRC) are automatically closed after some time, and then ultimately deleted after an additional amount of time. I believe this is done so that a fizzled out proposal doesn't block a newer effort that might be focused in a way that it actually gets traction.
An e-mail notifying you of that would be rather chilling and non actionable, imho .. but I can see why you'd want to be pinged when that happens.
$ ssh -vT git@github.com OpenSSH_4.6p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007 debug1: Connecting to github.com [207.97.227.239] port 22. debug1: connect to address 207.97.227.239 port 22: Connection refused ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Bad file number
That's annoying, a local ISP here shut port 22 just like they do port 25 .. and they have tons of wifi hotspots so you never know when you're stuck with them. I just use https
That should work for you. Just remember, if you add remotes, use the https:// URL.
Well, yes. You'd have to set up a SSH server listening on a non-blocked port as a proxy
I don't think Github runs SSH on a non standard port to get around the issue of ISP's blocking port 22 due to brute force attacks (similar to SMTP) . but they might.
:) Typing your password when pushing is a minor inconvenience, but no less convenient than using a pass phrase protected key. Still, shutting port 22 is a bad idea on the ISP level. Lots of people manage servers and stuff remotely, that really creates a problem for them.
Seriously, this guy answered the question, then commented about the OPs accept rate, and then added "I might have dug out my solution for you, but I can't be bothered. Soz" to his answer.
Alright, we have a nifty new feature for our Supercollider. It runs realtime updates and glows red automatically.
Well, I keep lots of tabs open, so all the tabs get the glowing red thingy. Fine with me.
But, if I read the inbox message from one tab, the glow is still visible in the others. And...
Had a bit of a situation this morning between two users in chat...
Won't go into detail, but we'll be strongly encouraging one of the users to never return to chat (or Stack Overflow) as a result.
But I'm left feeling uneasy about it, because I can't be certain this is the first time it's hap...
