5:01 AM
@NickT Erm, sure. :P
 
Because when I think radicals, I think Somali pirates.
 
@GeorgeMarian I saw the one building and thought "Oh look, Minecraft."
 
@TimStone lol
 
wonders if @Moshe is just going to get annoyed looking at the issue list, heh
 
@Rebecca I don't know, will I? goes to check
 
5:09 AM
@RebeccaChernoff All seems pretty reasonable to me...
 
@TimStone ditto that.
 
I just have to compare against the original and see what I changed while messing around.
 
@GeorgeMarian lmfao
First it was "Coming soon" scam pages, now "Coming soon" viruses?
 
5:11 AM
And Now, For Your Reading Pleasure, News Hour With @GeorgeMarian. applause [Jib out, fade into scene of @GeorgeMarian at a desk with red shirt and cigar]
 
"Follow me on GitHub!"
 
@Moshe lol I do happen to be reading the Security section of the daily El Reg email. :)
 
@Moshe, is this by-design or bug?
(the fact that there's only 2 border lines there)
 
... silence .... grunt click click click grunt ... more applause fade out
@Rebecca everything is by design. :p
 
5:13 AM
Design.
 
@Moshe lol
 
I'm asking seriously, because if you really meant to for it to be like that I won't create an issue about it.
 
By George, I think he's starting to get this programming thing!
 
I was going to remove the bottom but on small screens (or those cut in half with a chrome inspector) the sidebar overlaps the footer so I wanted some visual sense to that. Try removing the border in inspector and scrolling overthe footer with a small window ...
I meant it
The white just overlaps. Although I could put back a "transparent" bg and remove the bottom border.
@GeorgeMarian you are George. try "by something-else" next time.
 
@Moshe That's not as ironic. :P
 
5:17 AM
Hmm, what haven't I looked at?
 
@Rebecca the mod tools :p
Well, that's what I havent looked at...
 
@RebeccaChernoff You checked out the flag dialog and all that jazz, /review too?
 
No....
Er I may have forgotten that.
 
@TimStone and this is why I fail at testing.
 
@RebeccaChernoff There's also all of those boring Terms and About pages no one ever looks at. Also that weird page that shows you how to format Markdown.
 
5:19 AM
Well check what was covered by the other CSS selectors please.
 
the red border on the flag dialog is probably ok?
 
I go walk the dogs and 34 comments pass
I sit here reading wikipedia for an hour, and 34 comments pass
you people should pick one mode :p
 
/review has the same styles as the other page so it has the same issue, but no other issues
 
@Rebecca make an issue of the border, it should be grayish
Please
 
I'm getting lazy and just filling in the title field lol
 
5:21 AM
@drachenstern I had coffee, George posted links that I felt required my commentary, you know how it goes. :P
 
lol, I do at that
 
Is your title too short to be a real question?
 
> why does everything I whip leave me?
 
Is there any way of knowing whether a bunch of answer is hidden without pressing the 'Edit' button?
 
Hm?
 
5:23 AM
Is the yellow [status-bydesign] or [bug]?
 
Oh, you mean if they forgot to format HTML?
 
@TimStone Right.
 
@RebeccaChernoff what does the source say?
 
Like this answer (in /review): try this : Untitled 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
 
5:24 AM
@mootinator You can view the post history
 
@Rebecca colors are bugs unless they are sprite images.
 
Manually, or by using this awesome userscript:
4
Q: SE Modifications -- Username autocomplete in comments, inline revision source, and utility links

Tim Stone Screenshot About This userscript adds four main features: Various utility links on posts and in the top bar Inline viewing of post revision source Markdown on the post history page Links on comment timestamps for linking to specific comments (with enhanced "link-ability" for people wit...

But generally when people say things and then there's nothing after what they say, it's a good indication ;)
 
I just scored a new high score in the game ...
 
@drach, screeshot?
 
@TimStone Ah, thanks.
 
5:26 AM
@Moshe hang on
 
@Rebecca - "That title is too short to be useful. Can you add some more detail?" q: just make sure your titles are descriptive if you omit descriptions.
 
Jin
@DanGrossman that was my most favorite Unreal Tournament CTF stage.
 
@Moshe well yeah. I think they're ok. |:
 
Checking.
 
5:28 AM
But I bet you could figure out where to find me if you get confused. >_<
 
@mootinator Yeah, hitting edit is one less click though when you have edit privs.
 
I'm pretty sure I can't beat that really
 
Jin
@TimStone we need a rematch
 
@Jin Heheh, alright :P
 
5:29 AM
1,649,458,814Y
 
I'll let you do it so we don't get two games by mistake.
 
@TimStone that actually sounds like fun
want to try it? say the word and we can both start a game side by side
 
hmm
stops creating issues to not overwhelm Moshe and plays WwF. (:
 
@drach is Nippon not fun?
 
@RebeccaChernoff Good call ;)
 
5:31 AM
@Moshe it is fun, but do you think I can beat 2 billion yen?
 
Heh, iOS recognized "Nippon"
 
Well, the second part, you should make him earn that t-shirt! :P
 
@Rebecca excuses excuses, I like lists.
If it helps anything I can save shipping costs by picking it up at so hq.
whoops gave away relative location
 
I have the letters HIZ |:
 
@Drach I dunno. I bet I can, once I build my konami code.
 
5:33 AM
I don't think that's a word.
 
@Moshe well Konami code ruins the game thanks
it's only good for testing :p
 
me neither
 
Oh screw you WwF, starting me off with no vowels.
 
@RebeccaChernoff got a "W"?
 
5:33 AM
@Rebecca As in "Hiz got a bunch of bugz tu fiks"?
 
or a "P"?
 
@drachenstern no, board is ugly too heh
 
@drach I'll sell you any letter you want for a few billion yen.
 
Did anyone check the style on the frequently forgotten tag synonym page? :P
I was definitely concentrating earlier too...to the WOB!
Damn you Nick Craver (for not doing my work for me?)!
 
Nice.
 
I seem to be an oddball. Most people who have 20% of their questions with 0 score have low rep.
 
Heyz me haz teh idea - "Letter: Game of the year edition". Buy and sell twenty six letters to up to eight players of WwF.
 
I nominate that Code Golf SE site become the new punching bag for Stack Exchange.
 
5:41 AM
It's time to let Sci-fi rest. They are removing a good chuck of the sub-standard questions, and really cleaning themselves up.
 
This question has a smell:
0
Q: uTorrent application in background?

AlexDoes anybody work with uTorrent SDK? Is it possible to start application (plugin) in background?

 
damn you multiple rooms being open simultaneously
 
Let's see if I can get any stars for that:-)
 
I'm not sure whether it deserves a comment, or a NARQ though.
would be a terrible moderator.
 
@Pearsonartphoto fishing does you no good :p
 
5:44 AM
Hmmm. Tell that to the person demanding stars, @mootinator...
 
What's wrong with code golf.
Other than the desire to write clever one liners trying to leak over into my work.
@Pearsonartphoto I don't see YOU posting an xkcd comic.
 
No reason, I'm just trying to find a new site to pick on, I think sci-fi deserves a break.
 
@Pearsonartphoto If you threw an oy into that thought your chances of getting multiple stars would increase tenfold.
 
I seem to recall Josh going for dinner :\
@mootinator shh, don't encourage him ;)
 
@drachenstern It must have been a good dinner.
 
5:47 AM
So, if I say, I demand stars, oy, it'll work?
5
 
@TimStone ya know?
@Pearsonartphoto not as well as making snide commentary in this room
 
nods
 
I guess it does...
 
Oh, so Josh and I had this awesome idea: we need unicorn emoticons!
 
The Invisible Pink Unicorn (IPU) is the goddess of a parody religion used to satirize theistic beliefs, taking the form of a unicorn that is paradoxically both invisible and pink. She is a rhetorical illustration used by atheists and other religious skeptics, sometimes mentioned in conjunction with the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The IPU is used to argue that supernatural beliefs are arbitrary by, for example, replacing the word God in any theistic statement with Invisible Pink Unicorn. The mutually exclusive attributes of pinkness and invisibility, coupled with the inability to disprove t...
 
5:48 AM
VOX?
 
YES
 
VOX
oy
@DanGrossman why is invisible and pink a paradox?
 
"Pink" is a description of a wavelength of visible light. If it's invisible, it's not pink.
 
sounds like a closeminded evaluation to me
infrared is most definitely a shade of red
just because we can't see it with our eyes
 
So, an infrapink unicorn then.
 
5:49 AM
there are animals that can see that color, however
 
What they're seeing isn't red, it's infrared. One describes [this band] of frequency, the other [this adjacent band].
 
@mootinator and that, @Pearsonartphoto is how you earn stars :p
@DanGrossman but it's a shade of red, and it's a visible light to them
just not visible to us
 
You can call them two different colors...
 
so to say that infrared is a non-visible light ray is a lie.
 
No...
 
5:50 AM
to say that it is non-visible to us is a viable definition
all things need context
 
The word visible means producing visual sensation in the human eye
 
@DanGrossman not true
it means producing visual sensation in the eye of the beholder
 
The visible spectrum is the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to (can be detected by) the human eye. Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light. A typical human eye will respond to wavelengths from about 390 to 750 nm. In terms of frequency, this corresponds to a band in the vicinity of 400–790 THz. A light-adapted eye generally has its maximum sensitivity at around 555 nm (540 THz), in the green region of the optical spectrum (see: luminosity function). The spectrum does not, however, contain all the colo...
 
we generally assume that to mean human vision
 
@drachenstern Imperceptible to Humans Visible Wavelength of Pink Unicorn?
 
5:51 AM
but my dogs also have vision
@mootinator that I'll take
damn you rate limiter, damn you
 
And we say "this animal can see infrared", we don't redefine visible light.
 
Well, at least I'll have my talkative badge now...
 
@Pearsonartphoto And you're well on your way to that other one.
is eloquent today.
 
@Pearsonartphoto you need a silver badge or it doesn't count
 
I've got a silver badge...
With only one question and one answer on meta, at least, that's how many I had when I earned a good question award.
 
5:54 AM
One day, I will get "Convention".
 
damnit rchern you took the only good spot :(
 
For someone who lurks on meta all day, I sure don't participate.
 
how many letters do you have left?
@mootinator same here
 
@drachenstern She did the same to me! For shame, I say.
 
5:56 AM
does haha mean you have two h's and two a's left?
 
negatory
 
so you have more than one letter left right?
I guess six points is as good as I'll get before going out
zomg ... maggie's first word on the simpsons is in the movie and she says "sequel" ... /facepalm
 
You mean SQL, right?
 
@drachenstern You've just realized this now?
 
I suppose
@GeorgeMarian I never paid attention I suppose
 
6:00 AM
FYI, our servers will be down briefly for maintenance tonight, 3/1 at 1 am CST. Should be back up in a few hours, possibly sooner.
 
woohoo I beat rchern by FIVE POINTS
 
@drachenstern Fair enough. That's one of the great attributes of the show. You always notice something you missed before.
 
@GeorgeMarian doubly so for the movie?
 
@drachenstern ):
 
@RebeccaChernoff doublegame rematch?
 
6:01 AM
I had 5 points in hand too ):
 
According to Wikipedia, her first word was "daddy"
You can't really rely on a show like The Simpsons to be canonical
 
@drachenstern Yup. I'm sure there's plenty that I've missed.
 
@mootinator interesting
 
Wikipedia is cake.
Er. Wikipedia tells cake.
 
@mootinator lol fair enough

@mootinator Link?
 
I mean lies, yea, wikipedia lies.
 
Well you know what they say about that damned cake
@Moshe wait, wikipedia does statistics too?
 
Also @TimStone, yes I did look at the tag synonym page.
 
"Lisa's First Word" is the tenth episode of The Simpsons' fourth season. It was first broadcast on Fox in the United States on December 3, 1992. In the episode, as the Simpson family gathers around Maggie and tries to encourage her to say her first word, Marge reminisces and tells the story of Lisa's first word. Elizabeth Taylor appeared for the voicing of Maggie's first word. The episode was directed by Mark Kirkland and written by Jeff Martin. After its initial airing on Fox, the episode was later released as part of a 1999 video collection: The Simpsons: Greatest Hits, and released aga...
 
6:03 AM
Heh
 
@mootinator Wait, WTF is up w/ the image?
 
@RebeccaChernoff Just making sure :)
 
@GeorgeMarian It's special...
 
@mootinator that's not maggie tho :\
 
> Elizabeth Taylor (1985) provided the voice of Maggie's first word.
 
6:03 AM
Yes it is.
 
@drachenstern Liz Taylor did Maggie's voice.
 
@mootinator was just reading the title, working on the link
 
Hm, WwF apparently doesn't think that "titi" is a word. LIES! Monkeys are words too!
 
I guess it is canonical in the sense that nobody but the audience heard her first first word.
 
@mootinator Yeah, I was just thinking about that.
 
6:08 AM
 
Only 57 points for that? Blech.
 
nice play
 
@DanGrossman lol
> Although it was only one word, the voice came out too sexy and Taylor had to record the part numerous times before the producers were satisfied and thought it sounded like a baby
lmao
 
@TimStone, morning :)
 
'Ello there @Benjol
 
6:11 AM
@Benjol mourning :p
 
@TimStone Is there a 'baton race' badge? :)
 
Night
 
You might have lost me on that one. :P
G'night @mootinator
 
@TimStone Between us, we're on chat 24 hours a day :)
 
Ahh, heheh. ;)
 
6:13 AM
@mootinator g'night
 
By not having a 24 hour day, you too can have a gapless chat activity graph.
 
I suggest a script that replaces all time greetingd with local Greets.
So I'll always see "morning" in the morning locally.
 
Yeah, my graph appears to have developed a bit of a hole.
 
@DanGrossman I actually proposed a "Zombie" badge for people with no holes in their activity graph. You & @GeorgeMarian would be the main recipients :)
 
Yay, I'm good at something...wait. ;)
 
6:16 AM
Hahah
Oh, the hole in my graph is apparently smaller than I thought. One of the intervals is there, I just didn't say enough for it to show up in comparison to the other bars. I'm not sure what to make of that. :P
 
@Rebecca think the spacing issues go away if we make the font narrower?
 
mine is just shifting lol
@Moshe yeah, that'd fix lots I think. What font are you using?
 
AxelBold, LucidaGrand, LiberationSans
Well, with quotes.
 
Hm gist api doesn't do jsonp :(
 
I was afraid it didn't, hrm.
 
6:24 AM
In fact, it wouldn't have helped much anyway, because it doesn't tell you the last change date, which is all I needed.
Maybe I should use the StackApps question instead...
 
@Rebecca I suppose the hunt is on for a narrow font.
 
6:40 AM
Is there any way to suggest features I would like to be added to stackoverflow?
 
Meta
 
I know but should I just post it as a question?
 
@jsoldi, yes, But don't be offended if it gets downvoted. That just means people don't like the suggestion, not that they don't like you. And Jeff's automatic reaction is "no", you have to convince him :)
 
OK
 
6:42 AM
OK I'll do my best
 
Oh WwF, always trying to pretend words don't exist.
 
oh good lord is it 1am almost ??? ffs
 
@drachenstern Apparently, meh.
 
@TimStone Doesn't it accept "reps"?
how about "retag"
 
@TimStone that's ok, I wrote my little bit of an app that I wanted to start on, now to narrow down my collection of swaps tomorrow and then to work on the actual replacement methods
 
6:46 AM
@badpssockpuppet Probably, but not in the context you're thinking. :P
 
@TimStone, here goes nothing... jsfiddle.net/XS4et/3
 
Am I the only person in here who thinks smileys in the chat could be fun?
 
@drachenstern I have a 10:00 meeting that I'm sure'll be pushed to later, heh.
 
@drachenstern I'm sorry, MSN Messenger ruined graphic smileys for everybody else
 
And I'm waiting on a deployment I was supposed to make tonight, but that seems to not have happened.
 
6:47 AM
Although I've seen a kind of interesting take of emoticons on the Nokia forums
 
@badpssockpuppet They're so hideous!
 
@TimStone hehe, I'm sure it will
 
@Benjol :o
 
@badpssockpuppet ah, but MSN Messenger doesn't have inverted smileys for southpaws does it?
 
@drachenstern No, because I abuse them far too much.
 
6:48 AM
it went more or less like .emoticon { border: 1px solid black; background: yellow; font-family: monospace; border-radius: 3px; }
 
I used to have conversations with someone that mostly consisted of just smilies and random letters..
 
@drachenstern that's not leftsideright. -1
 
it's the opposite of this:
(: <-> :)
sure sure, I could rotate them all 90 to the side, but that's no fun
 
for some lame definition of 'fun'
 
6:51 AM
@badpssockpuppet huh?
 
I personally would like to see it if only to prove to myself that I could make it work ;)
 
My favourite :)
 
@Benjol Likewise.
 
@GeorgeMarian, this one's for you & @Tim :)
 
6:52 AM
Hahah
 
I'll stop now, or the gif police will come after me :)
 
Nov 6 '10 at 17:52, by Tim Stone
user image
 
@TimStone which one was that?
Oo?
 
@drachenstern Before it was o_O-ish, yeah. Now it just looks pervy.
 
6:54 AM
probably giving rchern a free TW was a bad idea
 
@TimStone lol
Yah, my favorite non-image smiley is O.o. Both are typical reactions of mine. :)
 
@Benjol You wouldn't happen to have a "rolls eyes" animated smiley in your collection, would you?
 
@drachenstern you can have that one. for now at least.
 
look ya'll, she plays PANT for 67 points
 
6:58 AM
@GeorgeMarian, I have: AussieSmiley, BumSmiley, CrossEyedSmiley, DarthSmiley, DollarSmiley, SharkSmiley and the two you've already seen :)
 
Darn. Though, Darth is pretty cool.
