@TheRenamedException No problem, I wasn't sure what to do in some places, so just ping me when you want to deal with it and I'll let you know what's up.

Sorry @Tim, I decided to go to bed, LOL. I am reviewing now

Oh, man, you went through and did Diago and Cawas' for me also!

I had no idea you were doing that, I was about to do that myself. How awesome. Thanks!!

Tim Stone

3:57 PM

@TheRenamedException Ah, yep.

There was one more candidate, what do we do about him?

The Renamed Exception

Sorry, things got really crazy here

Has the other candidate answered yet?

Tim Stone

The Renamed Exception

I'll ping him and ask him to answer the questions is he chooses to

Have a particular MSO answer you'd like me to award a bounty on @Tim? :-)

Tim Stone

@TheRenamedException Hahah, you don't have to do that. But if you're going to, I don't have any particular answer in mind.

The Renamed Exception

OK I'll choose one :-)

OK, reviewing Google Doc before final posting

Tim Stone

4:15 PM

Ah, right. So there was two... "sub" questions...what happens to those?

The Renamed Exception

Let me see. I sometimes just exclude them

Tim Stone

They were both follow-up questions to specific candidates' answers, but then more than one person responded.

The Renamed Exception

yeah, like:

@NathanG how about in terms of ethics? Do you think creating a hackintosh is unethical or whatnot?

?

Tim Stone

Yeah

The Renamed Exception

I think exclude that one, I'll note in the answer to follpow the links to read more on that discussion

Agree/disagree?

Tim Stone

4:20 PM

Yeah, that works for me.

The Renamed Exception

I think 10b should be posted as a second question:

in Ask Different Town Hall Chat on The Stack Exchange Network Chat, 13 hours ago, by Dori

@VxJasonxV How much time would you spend dealing with someone who posts rants as answers? No abuse to other users, wants to be a user, etc. [is this an official question? it got starred... ~ drachenstern]

oh wait

in Ask Different Town Hall Chat on The Stack Exchange Network Chat, 13 hours ago, by Dori

@VxJasonxV It wasn't a general question, so I'd think no…

I think include it in the same answer

Tim Stone

Sounds good. It was basically a specific scenario to go along with my prior question, I think.

Oh, I also made a typo correction in on of Diago's answers, is that faux pas? :P

Rebecca asked how many Mac devices they all owned, and he responded with "In your house we have"

The Renamed Exception

ummmm

I generally leave the replies exactly as they are, typos and all. But I like Diago so I'll allow it ;-)

calavera asked: What's you stance on hackintoshes, both in regards to questions on the site, and in more general terms? :) Nathan G. answered: @calavera See my answer: apple.stackexchange.com/… Nathan G. clarified: @calavera As for the site, I think they're fine as long as they relate sh...

Acceptable?

Tim Stone

Yeah, I think that works. The sub question wasn't terribly different anyway, so the responses are all similar.

The Renamed Exception

cool

ug this garikapati answering the questions too, I don't think he gets it, LOL

I just edited in one of his answers and then thought that's not right...

Tim Stone

I got the same impression, heheh

The Renamed Exception

I cleaned your work up a little on this one:

Rebecca Chernoff asked: What do y'all see as the biggest challenge when it comes to moderating Ask Different? VxJasonxV answered: @RebeccaChernoff Answering this question might be on the list. Predicting the future is hard :). Nathan G. answered: @RebeccaChernoff Right now, increasing traf...

or rather, Nathan edited after you had digested, i think :-)

Hey there @SMark. Feedback welcomed!

Tim Stone

Ah, did he? I was trying to catch when that happened and update them, but must have missed that one. Whoops. :P

Hi

The Renamed Exception

no problem. It's crazyness trying to do these live :-)

Tim Stone

@TheRenamedException Oh, I suppose I could have helped you post this one too huh? Although since you need to make sure I didn't foul up first, I don't know how much help that'd be anyway.

The Renamed Exception

haha, no problem, posting is easy. I meant, compiling them live is the crazy part, LOL

I.E. the part you already did :-)

Tim Stone

I'll just tend to this work-work then. ;)

The Renamed Exception

I'm reviewing as I post, in general you did an excellent job, I am only adding a few missing answers and correcting minor stuff

@TimStone Yeah, and keep my boss off my back for me ;-)

Tim Stone

4:57 PM

Hahah

The Renamed Exception

I keep thinking you probably missed people's answers to the questions @Tim and then I go look for them myself and people just didn't answer a lot of the questions, LOL

Tim Stone

Heheh, yeah. I think that VxJasonxV was the only one to answer every single question?

@RebeccaChernoff I've got a very close friend who's all tech and a designer. He thinks the stackoverflow site is ugly as hell and never really used it, or any SE site, consciously. I think most people don't get the site, except when stumble upon it on google with some good info on it. I don't think I can help much on this situation, but who knows...

WTH? I don't get Cawas sometimes. Like 75% of the time =b

Tim Stone

I was pretty confused there too.

5:16 PM

Is this even a real question @Dori? :-)

in Ask Different Town Hall Chat on The Stack Exchange Network Chat, 14 hours ago, by Dori

The magazine, and the annual winter expo: Macworld, or MacWorld?

Only 3 answers, one of which was "I don't want to answer" and another answered a different question, LOL

Speak now or have your question omitted from history @Dori! ;-)

OK, it was omitted

You have super mod powahs so you can add it if you feel I was wrong :-)

Digest posted. Thanks again @Tim, I'll post a bounty after lunch :-D

Tim Stone

Hooray :D
