Q: Is the Plastic SCM ad on Stack Overflow appropriate for a professional website?

Doug ChamberlainWhat are all these men doing? This is a very bizarre ad, and it seems rather unprofessional. To me, it's very inappropriate overall for a professional website. Please tell me that I am interpreting the ad incorrectly. I work in the public sector and I'd hate to have the wrong person look over m...

^^^ that's creepy and annoying
 
1:06 AM
@Moshe probably because it appears too often, and it's quite in your face to me.
@NineShogsShogging yeah there are worse ads, agreed
 
1:48 AM
So I've got a question: why don't the LINQ keywords highlight?
 
@Justin They hate you.
Personally

A: How to sort an object in a list on a non-unique value?

JustinThe best solution I found was using the Microsoft LINQ (a query language for objects) it works very well and quickly produces the right result. Dim bestCat As ArticleCategory bestCat = (From cat In Categories Order By cat.tempCount Descending, cat.Name Select cat).First ...

@NineShogsShogging lol.. who the keywords or the staff? Lol... I ask about everything I can.
 
@Justin I have no idea why your keywords hate you. But I would recommend against asking them. They'll lose all respect for you. keywords are bastards that way.
 
lol... thanks. Could we add them to code highlighting?
 
@Justin The project is here: code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify
You'd have to submit a patch
(entirely third-party - SO does little-to-no customization, AFAIK)
 
1:59 AM
Well... at least that makes sens...
Ok... I made the patch request.
thx
It's Jeff Atwood's fault! - 99.99999999...07% of the time: love this little thing jsfiddle.net/yijiang/AYPpF/24/embedded/result

Yep... as long as it never says my fault.

@Justin Sob... ... He died in a blogging accident while writing about an old lady who died while knitting in an ice skating rink. The idiot was typing on Wordpress for iPhone while skydiving down an elevator shaft near a campsite.

Wow, I came in here to ask if the phrase: "psuedosingleton factory class " made sense, but I just outdid myself.
 
I'm eating grilled tuna and tomato soup. And watching South Park. Just sayin...
 
@NineShogsShogging Are those also causes of death?
 
3:15 AM
the best
 
@Marc - Can I get blog.Mosheberman.com one boxing as a holiday present?
 
@Moshe well at least we know who dies via blogging.
 
@Justin Lol :P
Sure hope not.
@Justin Kim Jong Il?
 
lol
have another xkcd.com/606
and in case that wasn't enough... take a sneak peak at what I'm thinking
 
seen that one
 
3:30 AM
yep but not this one....
sudo wink!
 
3:47 AM
@Justin Yes I did.
@Justin sudo star my joke about skydiving down an elevator shaft.
 
sudo lie
lol
 
sudo disobey me

Q: Can we bet rep?

R. Martinho FernandesI remember once someone in chat tried to bet 100 rep with someone else about some silly thing. Something like, "I bet you 100 rep this you can't tell what animal is in this picture!" At the time, it wasn't really feasible for the loser of the bet to pay up, so we probably had to beat him up in...

Betting MSO rep sounds slightly less wrong.
 
5:45 AM
Does chat have rep?
Bet that!
Hey who owns this? stackmobile.com
 
6:08 AM
@Moshe (thinks carefully of phrasing) I'm not convinced that is in our top % of referenced hosts from chat...
 
Can you search for unicode characters on SE sites?
 
indeed, we don't give special handling to the Lippert/Skeet blogs....
 
Hmmm, okay. I was searching for a single character 厺 and it gave me the search tips page instead
 
6:48 AM
@Yi if there is an issue with single-character searches, please log it on meta
it might be that we need to disable some validation checks on some of the language sites (japanese/chinese in particular, presumably)
 
7:05 AM
@MarcGravell I'm not sure if this should be a bug or a feature-request
 
on those language sites, it sounds like to me

Q: Merge [dropdown] into [dropdownlist]

abatishchevPlease merge dropdown (1112) into dropdownlist (2207). Here's a piece of dropdown wiki: A dropdown list is something which is used to select a value from a given set of options. Drop down list. So both are assuming the same notion.

@SantaFosco :-P that doesnt work
 
But it is awesome =)
 
Wow
OP deleted that rather quickly.
 
3:39 PM
@jadarnel27 ?
its not deleted
its my Q
 
@amanaPlanaCAnalPAnaMA o_O When I clicked that link just a second ago I got the "Voluntarily removed by its author" page.
Now it works...weird.
 
@jadarnel27 i accidentally pressed delete lol
 
Haha, Ohhh! What unusual timing =)
 
@SantaFosco o hey
 
@badp How's it going? your new avatar is looking a little derp-ish.
 
3:45 PM
@SantaFosco It's freehanded ಠ_ಠ
and looking at your posts inquisitively.
at least that was the idea.
 
lol :)
 
16×16 8 colors blah blah blah I'm content with the outcome :P
wait

where are you seeing that?
 
inspecting my small avatar in chat
dunno if it also does this on chat.SE because I always zoom out chat, which makes my avatar blurry anyway
 
I see it at 16 in chat.
 
3:51 PM
I see it requesting 15×15 avatars for 16×16 img's
and 31×31 avatars for 32×32 img's in the user list on the side
 
@balpha You know I can give you a screenshot equal and contrary... let me try from incognito (with all plugins disabled)
 
@badp Your inspector console is just trolling you
 
@TimStone My blurry-as-shit-should-be-pixel-perfect avatar isn't helping
 
3:54 PM
What really doesn't help is that I don't have a single supported browser installed :P
although perhaps I haven't launched Aurora for long enough that its version has become golden in the meanwhile!
yep, Aurora 10.02a2 doesn't have this
oh well
I guess I'll work around with additional monologues, 31×31 in a 32×32 box isn't nearly as bad as 15×15 in 16×16.
or I can just zoom back out.

=)
 
lol
Vote to delete please ^_^
 
Forgive my ignorance, but where's the Vote to Delete button?
I only see link | edit | reopen | flag
 
@ShawnChin I don't think there is one. You could flag and choose the "custom" option, and say the question should be deleted
 
@ShawnChin I was able to delete. its a priveledge
 
5:23 PM
FAQ says at 10k one can vote to delete Closed questions
 
I do have 10k (was my christmas prezzie to self!), just don't see the button.. oh wait... ahh, I see - "You must wait for a question to be closed for 2 days before you can vote for deletion"
Makes sense
 
@ShawnChin lol I was able to vote to delete
 
Will just have to wish for 20k next Christmas then. "This restriction is removed for trusted users"
 
@ShawnChin lol i just saw that
@ShawnChin haha I got all my rep this yr ^_^
I am @30k ^_^
 
5:32 PM
respect.
 
hehe I just passed the 30K mark :-D
 
I'd probably not get any work done if I aim for that level of increase
 
Just noticed that my rep graph is inversely proportional to my productivity at work. This year was my least productive so far :(

New year resolution: less rep.
 
6:35 PM
@ShawnChin Easy to say after you reach 10k.
 
'noon folks.

Q: Bounty and reputation shenanigans?

LarsTechJust curious about an observation, because it just looks goofy to me. Maybe it's nothing. This question: How to calculate the total time a user spending on an application? was asked back on June 24th and then a bounty of 350 points was placed on it by Predator. Those bounty points being subtra...

A: EEEEEK! What the Fruit is going on here?

FezziwigThe dropdown is what they use on the dev site to show different themes. Apparently it was accidentally deployed to meta, and as people change the theme with that dropdown it changes for everyone viewing meta

 
Anonymous
Oh, anybody changing it changes it for everybody. That's less likely to be left enabled...

but there's nothing interesting there. It just runs more slowly, perhaps because stuff isn't in-cache.
