Q: Blockquote glitch in editor in Chrome 6

can you check this and see if you work or see the issue? code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=56095

@rchern Works for me. I'm actually the first comment on:

Well, I would just bump up this question with an edit, but my meta rep isn't high enough. So I'm posting this as a new question. Here's the problem: in the latest stable version of Google Chrome (6.0.472.53) -- now out of beta -- clicking on the "Blockquote" button in the editor results in a str...

I now think that the "Idiocracy" movie is quite a good guess...

@badp, could you, please, explain what is funny in the last one?

@PavelShved "Humour frequently contains an unexpected, often sudden, shift in perspective, which gets assimilated by the Incongruity Theory. This view has been defended by Latta and by Brian Boyd. Boyd views the shift as from seriousness to play. Nearly anything can be the object of this perspective twist; it is, however, in the areas of human creativity (science and art being the varieties) that the shift results from "structure mapping" (termed "bisociation" by Koestler) to create novel meanings."

I am survivor!

I lost 10 more IQ to VBA but I still can remember to breathe

more or less

LOL

We are very glad @badp :-)

I am off to remind myself that there's a world outside my office...

Going to experience this "life without walls" thing I keep hearing about

In other news I probably need to write zalgo.py

more diacritics for everybody!

Except for real -- that is to say, without walls, I have no need for Windows :-)

@badp That sounds... fun...

if I put a 140 chars restriction it prolly is, yes

lol

5:18 PM

now I just need to remember whether diacritcs go before or after the letter they modify.

I'll need Py3k for this.

MWAHAHAHAHAHA

I even wasted a couple chars there

now to discover the Zalgo code golf already had been run on SO

oh well, a topic for next friday.

sigh...

@badp: Haha, didn't think of that... Should've send that into the system. :D

6:05 PM

@badp Hahahaha, that is SO AWESOME!

Too bad you didn't @Tom :-)

I would have loved to see the look on a reCaptcha employee's face

It's from a sentence so it will sure come back I think...

I feel like sitting here the rest of the day and doing captchas just so I can do that... but instead I'm going to the art museum :-)

Have a good day everyone!

@TheUnhandledException I've been sending TeX to reCaptcha for quite a long time

one needed me to answer, S_{A_i \cup A_b}

We could write a re-reCAPTCHA system... :-)

Instead of OCRing books, OCRing captchas. xD

And the best test is to let the system work onto itself. :D

@TomWij it's already implemented

@TomWij porn site captchas solved by watchers usually come from other sites, and the owners of porn site have thus a network of people solving them

man, the second domain question on Gaming is being quite horrible

currently, 5 answers at the top with 4 net votes each

If there was actual activity I'd ask you what you liked the most

@badp, I did a glitter theme for StackFlair :P

@rchern wooooo :D

How can I upvote again your stackapps entry now?

I also have the url formatting for you

/Generate/options/{options}/{guid}.png

I've only done the html version of the glitter theme though. I'll do a publish once I get the image version done

ie, probably tonight.
