Ahh, much better. I will use that. Thanks :)
 
but war never changes
 
@WarmFuzzies War, huh...
 
War sure does change. Formerly people were carrying weapons. Now their weapons carry them.
 
I rather call him war than call him "warm" or "warm fuzzies"
 
War, what is it good for?
 
4:03 PM
Some years ago, I had a teddy bear named warm.
 
user259867
> War has changed. It's no longer about nations, ideologies or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by mercenaries and machines. War, and its consumption of life, has become a well-oiled machine. War has changed. ID tagged soldiers carry ID tagged weapons, use ID tagged gear. Nanomachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control. Information control. Emotion control. Battlefield control. Everything is monitored, and kept under control.
 
um...
 
snake, SNAKE!!!
 
This does not provide an answer to my question.
 
Let's not forget bladder control. That's pretty important too.
 
4:05 PM
War protects the citizens of a country from invaders and terrorists @uni
 
wouldn't that just be the military/government?
 
still, it's an act of war. military/government is the organization that participates in the war
 
Good night!
 
night
 
Night @uni :)

Night!
 
wait......
Since when does the question stats get in the way of the revision?
 
Those colors hurt my eyes :(
 
so sorry :(
 
4:11 PM
even the profile name is all caps
 
That's the catch!
 
I like how only "ie" and "etc" is lower case
 
@gunr2171 because ie is not important
 
OH SNAP

so any idea when Stack Overflow is having another election?

nope, not anytime soon

Thanks Infinite
 
@Inf What happened to the recursiveness?
 
I got inspired by War and cVplZ's name changes :)
It's cool to have new names every now and then :D
 
4:30 PM
for (true) { changename() }
 
function what(){ if(true) what(); }
@InfiniteHappiness Hmm... limited to 30 chars...
 
No, everyone uses @Inf, so I kept that. I wanted Happiness or Sunshine as my new name.
 
@Mooseman infinite recursion gives you stack overflow
 
@InfiniteHappiness evil laugh
 
@InfiniteHappiness I updated it on MSE. How long does it take to change here? Thanks
 
user259867
@JanDvorak not anymore
 
@Mooseman: It updates at a certain time every hour, approximately 45 minutes from now...
 
@InfiniteHappiness +1

@Inf nice name choice.
 
Thanks @Frank :)
 
Way better than Warm Fuzzies.

@Mooseman cool, thanks
 
@AndrewT. the title of that question sucks too
 
Go salvage it @Braiam
 
4:49 PM
If someone could edit it, then great. I just passed by trying to research the conflicting POINT(lat, long) on that MS SQL geography bug.
 
I tried too, no success. It's sand, not a pearl.
 
@Shog9 is there any possibility that when the system is bored it will feed old questions to the triage queue
 
...first the unsalvageable button needs a name change...
 
other users don't choose unsalvageable

Stack Overflow is good for questions related to debugging apps using the FB API. (Thus why they point members of the developer's group here.) Inquiring about the availability of information regarding Facebook, however, is completely different and is off-topic here. There is SE site on which this would be a suitable question. — Mooseman 53 secs ago
What to do here? Accepted answer is hardly an answer...
 
@Mooseman there is no SE site (typo?)
 
(for the first one) I don't understand what he means by "if the social networking sites themselves have current versions"
 
When I reviewed it in revision 1 this, it was unsalvageable, but no one reviewed it as such. OP fixed the post 4 hours after triage review

Q: When will design of SO finally updated? Will the other sites of trilogy be redesigned?

nicaelIt has been already two weeks since the new design was announced on Meta Stack Overflow. When Stack Overflow will be redesigned? Are there any plans to redesign two other sites (Super User and Server Fault)? It will be inconsistent for other trilogy sites to have another design.

 
@Inf Nobody told me this... Display name may only be changed once every 30 days; you may change again on Jan 4 '15 at 16:36
 
@Moosemaniseatingpizza You can still go to another site where you haven't changed it, change it back to 'Mooseman' there and choose to copy it to all sites.
That used to work in the past, don't know if it still works now because there have been changes to the profile field system, but it's worth a try.
 
Sam
6:07 PM
status-completed
 
user259867
@ProgramFOX Still works. But it has to be a site where you did not have a profile at the time of the previous name change. That is: change name => sign up => can change again.
 
Ah, interesting.
 
@WarmFuzzies Tried. Not registering a change; I'd have to change Mooseman in the first place. I'll wait it out on MSE.

Q: Outspoken badge not awarded since June?

@UserX Already on meta.
 
@bjb568 What do you mean?
 
@UserX Ok, I'll care about it. Wait, where do want to be suspended?
 
Why do you need to get suspended, @UserX?
 
This conversation makes zero sense.
 
@UserX What's your pleasure? "Voting irregularities" or just the standard "rule violations"? (At least I can take care of your math account.)
 
7:28 PM
@Anna - was gonna oblige him/her, network-wide if needed.
 
@Oded I'm addicted to SE. It takes up time. I need a suspension till july. Chatrooms too.
5
Not only MSE
 
just set up an adblock filter
 
@UserX Can't find it, but there's a meta post asking fiot voluntary suspensions.
 
And the reason shouldn't be something that will stick with me when I get back.
 
Sam
@UserX Welcome to the club.
 
7:29 PM
Instead of, you know... closing the browser?
 
Yea, I just can't.
 
@UserX No way around that. You get suspended, it's on your record.
 
@UserX so you want to have your cake and eat it too?

@AnnaLear don't make it "vote irregularities" for example, I'm picky on votes.

@Shog9 /me rushes to see it
 
Can it be done?
 
you could just edit your hosts file...
 
Suspended network-wide for 200 days. It's gonna take a few mins to propagate.
If you want to come back earlier, good luck. :P
 
lol :D
 
Sam
I still don't see how this is going to solve the root problem.
 
7:32 PM
July 1! :P
 
@Sam It doesn't.
 
But thanks. Now I need a ban from all chatrooms.
 
that'll happen eventually
 
@UserX That will kick in as chat suspensions propagate.
 
You will be. 1 rep and you can't join in.
 
7:32 PM
@Oded It's not even that. Chat inherits suspensions.
 
@AnnaLear thanks.
See you in july.
 
Sam
Ok, this is weird.
 
@AnnaLear ah yes. I knew that. Once.
 
Thats the most hilarious dialogue I ever seen there...
 
Though, not the first time this has come up
 
7:34 PM
I want medschool, not imaginary internet points. It doesn't solve the problem but it helps.
 
any chance of "I've been suspended for no apparent reason" is July?
 
Any med school that doesn't accept imaginary points as transfer credits isn't worth graduating from.

A: Profile Page Makeover, Part 3: the Prototype returns

nicaelThere is no notice in the "Profile" tab if a user is suspended, it just looks like he is 1-rep user.

 
Is the chat ban getting done?
 
7:38 PM
Do you want a kick on top of that?
 
@UserX It should be. It probably takes a while to update.
It might have just updated.
 
y...ay?
 
Oh.. key, Kay?
 
@UserX good bye!... Eh, thats actually strange... Who wants suspension...
 
@nicael eh. That's kinda between by-design and for-new-design. We are still discussing that one.
It isn't clear that it should be on both pages. And if it shouldn't which one it should be on.
 
7:41 PM
@nicael Last spring, I actually considered doing exactly what UserX did. Then I started getting bored of SE, and partially quit.
 
@Oded Eh, should definitely be on "when others view the profile". Hella confusing otherwise.
 
@Sam who cares about solving the root problem?
 
Agree; just becomes a support issue if folks can't figure it out easily.
 
@AnnaLear yep - with you there.
 
@Braiam Indeed. We aren't in the Tavern because we like to actually solve problems. ;)
 
Sam
7:43 PM
@Braiam Eh, true. Sorry, I was still mentally in "debug mode".
 
hello people.. I need your help testing a change to captchas - if you edit something in the near term slap ?captcha=1 to the URL on a question and it will force a captcha. Let me know if it works
 
@GeoffDalgas All sites or just MSE?
 
just MSE / MSO
 
finds something to edit
 
@Sam are you suggesting we shut down Stack Exchange?
 
7:45 PM
HALP!
 
lol
I didn't say the text would be any more readable

hit the refresh and get a new one
 
yeah, first load takes some time
 
@GeoffDalgas I don't get how to get this captcha...
 
Sam
@Oded Lol, not at all.
 
visit a question - add ?captcha=1 to the url .. then click edit and make an edit
 
on submit it will pop the captcha
 
@nicael add ?captcha=1 to the URL of a post you want to edit, hit return, edit.
 
@GeoffDalgas yeah works
 
btw, it isn't async, right?
 
@Sam well... talking about root causes and all that ;)
 
7:49 PM
it should be a small improvement - seems about 40% of the time it will just let you click the box and done
60% will still prompt for words
 
meh, my country seems to be in the black list, it keeps giving me the most impossible captchas

Q: Please use the new reCaptcha on the human verification dialog

I have yet to see the cat captcha
I REALLY want to see it.. It would make my day
 
The catpcha?
 
@Braiam holeee. They seem to have mistaken the number for a face.
Either that or you got the wrong image ;)
BTW - if you need to edit, you can use the formatting sandbox
 
7:56 PM
@Oded There is no need to edit - just append ?captcha=1, click edit, change nothing, save edits. Captcha will appear.
2
 
so it's working for all who tested it so far?
 
works fine for me
 
@GeoffDalgas yeah except... why ask captcha if nothing changed? May I post a request not to ask captcha if nothing changed?
 
the ?captcha=1 is only for testing .. all other logic is ignored (changes, etc)

8:18 PM
I was mistaken for not-a-robot without being shown any captcha. Twice
 
@WarmFuzzies Wait....oh

I suppose it tracks mouse movements in the moments after the click at the box? If they look human-like enough, the test is passed.
 
> And if you're worried about the privacy implications of Google analyzing where your mouse moves on a page, Shet pointed out that Google will only be tracking your movements over the CAPTCHA widget when it appears on other sites, not on the entire page.
