@ShadowWizard :D :D :D

It was the Andropov era, so I'd have been surprised if he could.

Would you be terribly inconvenienced to give me 1 upvote to counter the 11 downvotes I got for searching and failing to find an answer?

The Meta crowd is a very angry crowd...

@Fabby you shouldn't ask for votes

Shadow Wizard

@Fabby well, it should be trivial to find, so... :)

Anyway you can safely delete your question, unlike other dupes, that one doesn't really have future value. No harm will be done, you'll get your rep back and you're really far from any auto ban.

Fabby

@PrincessLuna I've never understood why meta has a ranking system too: here we should be all equal...

@ShadowWizard :-) I hope I'm far away from a ban...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Shadow Wizard

I can only imagine how one who used to command others feel when peeps third his age downvote his precious posts.... :D

Fabby

@ShadowWizard :D :D :D

No, that's not it:

Duplicates are useful as they serve as signposts to the real thing.

Heh! Su unsused to type "serve" and so used to type "server" that when I want to write the former, the latter comes out!

Shadow Wizard

omg you're right!

Let me fix it...

I've deployed a Google Appliance at DHL that crawls their internet and knowledge base articles and it's unbelievably good...

Lemme research it again and I'll post a question

Shadow Wizard

buh... even after editing it to contain all the key words, the actual post is 5th in search results. o_O

@Fabby don't expect too much, the MSE crowd, overall, is very conservative and against big changes.

I can use the internal search just fine, but agree it's far from trivial or perfect, and can see how others can easily miss tons of things.

Fabby

>:-)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@ShadowWizard Reality bites! :D :D :D

@ShadowWizard No, it's a Joel Spolsky thing and we have googlers here on the site as well.

Shadow Wizard

Princess Luna

@ShadowWizard Sorruy: I have guests today and am making the chocolate mousse;

What I meant was: I have a solution to their awful search and will be posting a question suggesting an answer.

(just not right now)

Back to my kitchen!

12 eggs to separate and beat and chocolate to melt and ...

0:-)

@Fabby I got that, but not what you meant by Joel and googlers... lol

Fabby

@ShadowWizard Joel needs to shell out money

OR

Shadow Wizard

@Fabby good luck! Make your guests drool in anticipation for your mousse! :D

Fabby

Googlers on this site need to give him some piece of hardware

I'm gone before the chocolate burns!

Shadow Wizard

Urgh. Morning :)

Fabby

@ShadowWizard Did you just make that Crèmre brûlée?

Wow! Impressed!

Ah!

Still Impressed: Great recipe!

Chocolademousse is in de koelkast, varkennsgebraad is aangebakken en ligt lekker te marineren in de provencaalse groenten in een ovenschotel in de (koude) oven...

berserk

Schokolade ist lecker

Tinkeringbell

@Fabby Iets 'staat' in de koelkast, in plaats van dat het er 'is'. Niemand gebruikt het woord varkensgebraad meer, en hopelijk had je het vlees gemarineerd voordat je het aangebakken hebt. Ik heb ook nog nooit gehoord van iets 'marineren' in groenten :P

Shadow Wizard

@Fabby thanks!

Fabby

@Tinkeringbell Dank je!
