You know what I like about the Stack Overflow devs - the fact they are prepared to admit to mistakes in public. Not a lot of developers I've worked with would do that.
@balpha, any idea why the background of Josh's avatar is mostly black in the avatar list to the right? I'm guessing it has transparency and IE8 isn't happy with it, but it's fine when he posts a message.
That was one nice thing about my old company and doing intranet apps. It may have been IE6, and then IE7...but it was still just a single browser version I had to support at any given time.
It's weird too, because the companies that we work with don't seem to care about upgrading in the sense that they don't want to, they just can't be bothered to upgrade older machines. So once the hardware fails, they replace it with something newer and use whatever it comes with.
While equation markups are seldom needed on S[OFU], it is absolutely essential on many science-based SE 2.0 sites e.g. Mathematics, Statistical Analysis, Physics, etc. Unicode art is not enough for not-so-simple equations.
Being a professional site, they should have equation markup support (LaTe...
@RebeccaChernoff if this convo scares you here then ... welcome to the world of men? (something tells me you've learned to long ago overlook such things)
are you worried about becoming an object of worship milady?
@Josh lol, that's where you need a salesman to keep up with his salesmens tactics. And you to say "yes we need that" or "no we don't" ... #negotiations
@Josh lol, true enough, but if you're trying to future proof :p ... datacenter? I thought this was gonna be in-house? for in-house ... if it were in my budget I would get 5TB
On stackoverflow, am noticing a trend of there being like 10 answers with an accepted answer, and no one, not even the person accepting seem to be voting anymore, yes even for the accepted answer. What's happening?
@Pekka That's what I mean by un-verifiable; anything that says "why isn't X as good as it used to be" is an instant winner on meta, regardless of how good X is now versus the past

Yeah but the guy on the other side can't be much of a salesman, now that he's losing the business, is it?
@drachenstern yeah, but it's arguably a lost cause - somebody who's going to make you a $1000/month offer if you say you have a $200/month budget clearly doesn't get it :)
You can't be sure all the other scripts are loaded. Imagine running something on .NET/Java with no gaurantee that all the .NET/Java libs you needed were installed?
that's all
@DanGrossman congratulations sir
Ahhh it's nice to have such a large bit of screen real estate
@DanGrossman Yup, it's usually something like (if you're a single person on an account) either pay $1800 over 2 years for a basic, basic smartphone or pay $2000 over 2 years for top-of-the-line
I just really wish all these awesome phones would come out without carrier obligations. I'd like to be able to test my work on all platforms without shelling out thousands for a contract.
@Noctrine some folks in Europe are working on that with legislation. Apparently people look to screw other people over all the time so long as the screwer gets more [money|fame|prestige] and doesn't give a shit about the screwee
@user10926 Benzaclin seemed to keep it under control, so I tried a non-prescription benzoyl peroxide gel and it seems to have succeeded where everything else failed.
@user10926 I do have a usually itchy beard and it flakes like dandruff, but only when the beard gets long. I shampoo it and condition it like I do my scalp, and I don't have dandruff when I take care of my hair (but not taking care of my hair for a few days, well ...)
@user10926 interesting, just wiki'd it ... I might, I notice if I go a few days without a shower I can scratch my head and smell something sweetly odored ... yet another reason for me to shower religiously ... guess I should see a derm huh?
I have had issues with sebaceous cysts in the past, so that may very well be the case ... thanks doc ;)
ok, but more seriously, I have the opportunity to post a blog entry on another persons site regarding the area 51 derm proposal, and I wanted to know if someone would help me write it?
"Something for the weekend" is a euphemism heard in barber shops, when the above phrase is used to enquire of a customer whether he would like a packet of condoms. Does anyone know how this phrase came about?
