Heh! My most controversial question ever so far. +12/-10. Why is there no badge for that!

reminds me, I have to downvote :)

@balpha err -1?

Hmmm, new neighbors o:

@balpha Depends on your definition of "fanatic" :P

Which is, I think, what @Pekka was getting at

@RebeccaChernoff is that good or bad?

I dunno. They look normal at least. (;

well that's just not fun at all, you need wierd neighbors

pfft

@RebeccaChernoff do you smile backwards to them too?

I think I recall @MichaelMrozek planning to move... Maybe he finally did.

oy

@balpha I did say that they seem normal. q:

@RebeccaChernoff Appearances can be deceiving. ;)

@RebeccaChernoff They always seem normal. Until you look them in the eyes.

Hahah

lol

Always good to start off on the right foot, being known as the "Person across the street who stares out her windows at neighbours".

:picked up a bunch of free-after-rebate junk at staples' presidents day sale:

I'm pretty sure there's more than one episode of Law&Order where a murder is discovered by a peeping tom in a building across the street.

hmm, I thought the [tag:<tag>] syntax worked in comments?

no

That looks an awful lot like my cat

@balpha If I don't leave the blinds up a bit my cat has been known to destroy blinds.

@balpha that's unfortunate

@RebeccaChernoff do you want comments to look like this?

I certainly do

If we took out all the features that people abuse, there wouldn't be too many left.

@RebeccaChernoff yeah, that "ask question" button is a real pain

absolutely

We'd have to eliminate chat entirely, which would make balpha sad

(;

I'm sure someone would write a jQuery interface to IRC so we can pretend chat still exists.

Teachers make too much money!

> Renesys confirms that the 13 globally routed Libyan network prefixes were withdrawn... and Libya is off the Internet. One Libyan route originated by Telecom Italia directly is still BGP-reachable, but inbound traceroutes appear to die in Palermo. A minority of our peers report some surviving paths through the peering connection between Level3 and Telecom Italia, but traceroutes into those prefixes fail, suggesting that the Libyan cutoff is complete.

I wonder how confident bit.ly, adf.ly, ow.ly, etc. are feeling right now.

"no, chkdsk SPACE /p"

I'm impressed you even got to the point that your family member had a prompt open to type on.

took a while, had to find the silly OEM recovery disk

still ongoing.

they're my parents, they gave me life, I need more patience.

"stop saying "blue screen" unless it's THAT kind of bluescreen!"

@MichaelPetrotta What you really need is....Rovio!

@Tim: passed that on to him, thanks

wait, so C can return structs with arrays inside them, but not arrays.

I'd really need to relearn it, I'm tired of going wtf

also yay for mixing stuff requiring char *, stuff requiring char * restrict and stuff requiring unsigned char *, as if there was any goddamn difference when handling "strings"

your disapproving silence, noted.
