@TimStone unless you're both in Texas. Things are really close there. It's only a short four hour drive between the two larger cities in Texas (Houston*, DFW). Most other states would consider each of them a capital. Most other states are half the size. To a Texan, Houston -> El Paso is "a bit of a drive". To most people, that's four states away.
@TimStone I was trying to work in a long and boring topic as a joke. I felt I almost but not quite failed at exceeding to meet the minimumally required joke.
@TimStone If that joke didn't explain the lengths I was going to make the previous sentiment have less distance to travel .... well look I'm not gonna drive to Dallas twice in one week, yesterday was enough.
@PopularDemand I don't think that the space under this fold out table is quite as comfortable as what he made out of his desk, so I'm not sure it's worth the trade off.
@drachenstern Pretty much, yeah, but if someone comes to talk to me, emerging from under the table might be a bit weird. ;)

@RebeccaChernoff - I was wondering if I need anything else/special for the userscripts? I have downloaded a few different ones but in Chrome, apart from one, I don't see any changes... has the recent update broken them or have I done something wrong?

@Wil Hm yeah, seems alright to me. I don't know what you could have possibly done though that would have messed anything up, so hmm... You're using Chrome 10?
@YiJiang the firsttime I read this I misparsed, I read "become unclogged" and thought "why is that a problem" and then "why is rchern being so magnanimous" and then thought "reparse, obvious parse error"

Oh boy oh boy oh boy.. I made some upgrades to a client's shopping cart 2 weeks ago (today) and found out today that customer hasn't gotten any order since then. There was a small oversight in my code which was giving every single not-logged-in user a server error when the visited the checkout page

I'll let someone else do the FHC if you don't see it on the area51 badge.
It's been 12 minutes, and Jeff hasn't replied to my comment. Thus I must declare that, pending the discovery of further evidence, Jeff Atwood hates baby unicorns.
var k=function(){
var x=new Date(),v=x.getUTCHours(),w=x.getUTCMinutes();
if(v<10){v="0"+v}
if(w<10){w="0"+w}
$(".profile-popup .popup-clock").text("UTC time "+v+":"+w)

I've got the base converter computing the correct least-significant-byte for all combinations of from and to bases, but I can't get it to produce other correct significant bytes
What is the general opinion on having a way to vote against closing a question, rather than voting to reopen after it has been closed? There's a question on SO right now with 4 close votes for 'duplicate', but personally I don't think it's a duplicate. I would like to be able to vote against closing it.
I'm not a frequent visitor of user voice, so this could very well have already been suggested there, and I apologize in advance if it has.
My request is simple: Many times, there will be a question where some people feel like it should be closed. At the same time, I'll feel like it's a perfectly...
But most importantly, if you're wrong then posting your reasoning gives others a chance to refute your arguments. Which is far more useful than a silent vote-war.
@ircmaxell so you still have a problem of fractions, but I don't think you're trying to solve this problem in the right way. Can you give me the plain English version?
@NathanTaylor BTW: if you can find someone who is familiar with Rails, getting them to edit that question into something less of a piece of work would go a looong way toward keeping it open.
@JeffAtwood must be one of the most controversial posters on the entire stack exchange network. I've seen so many of his answers downvoted into oblivion
I'm taking in an array of integers. It behaves just like a byte sequence, so array(1, 2, 3, 4) would mean that for base $from, the number represented is $array[0] * pow($from, 3) + $array[1] * pow($from, 2) + $array[2] * pow($from, 1) + $array[3]...
But, there can be any number of elements in the array. It could be 4, it could be 1, it could be 256, it could be 100k
Now, I want to convert from base $from to base $to for just about any given $from and $to...
@NathanTaylor its more of the anti-JonSkeet effect. People see his posts and downvote them. I mean, they friggin LOVE his sites, they use them for all manner of things. Obviously he's doing something right.
@ircmaxell wouldn't it just be more effective to recalculate?
But there's obviously a problem. We can't represent 256 ^ 256 in a normal integer. So I need to figure out a way to do the conversion inline, rather than all at once (meaning convert each element of the array one at a time based on the position, rather than making a big integer and then factoring that).
Interestingly, the [status-declined] 'Vote not to close' has a substantial number of votes for implementing the feature, while @JeffAtwood's reasoning not to implement it is sitting at -30.
So the question is: given an array, such that the elements are like thus, and that the calculation for the number is like thus: find a way to generate a new deriviation of the class given the new base thus:
So as I was saying, post it on CG.SE as a challenge type problem. Let people impress you, convert their answers to usable for you answers. Don't rule out any options, something can always be reversed. Offer a passable acceptance for almost works or something. It's a nontrivial problem, but it won't be impossible to solve for someone with freetime, of which we both lack.
Sometimes you vote to close something and the OP then changes it to fix the issue or issues. You can't take a close vote back though. It would be nice if you could.
Jeff, any chance you changed your mind?
@MichaelMrozek Why does @JeffAtwood seem to think that voting to reopen a question is an acceptable alternative to unvoting to close a question. That's just naive.
He gave the same argument for why 'vote not to close' is not implemented.

I was going to leave well enough alone. I really was. But then I heard that the film will feature a special guest appearance by Shog9... as himself!
