Hello everytwo.
 
IndeIndeeded
 
So, anyone got a storyline for a game, before I go ahead and write one up myself? </threat>
 
My advice is this:
 
(I had a Coldplay CD lying around, actually two of the same one - shrink wrapped. So I opened one of them and am listening to it.)
@jcolebrand ?
 
There's a girl, a princess, who gets abducted from her castle. The land she's the princess over is a magical land. There is a young man, who is awakened in the middle of the night and has to go into the sewer in the rain, only to find out he's been chosen for this mission to rescue the princess. He'll need to travel in caves and under waterfalls...
 
1:38 AM
lol
Actually, that would be quite clever. You gave me an idea.
 
But they have technology, like computers
and scooters.
but he can't drive a car
 
Remember that this isn't a platformer, but an RPG.
 
and the people who did the abducting have tanks
 
tanks.
 
technology + magic = awesome, everytime
 
1:40 AM
Interesting point
Thank you.

2:43 AM
It's so funny how I give a condescending answer that says "go rtfm more noob" and people say "thanks, good advice" and then when I'm an outright asshole I get "you sound a tad condescending there"
People need to recalibrate, I'm pretty sure my condescension meter is accurate

5:05 AM
Guess what happens in less than a month?
 
@GeorgeEdison Lion
 
Enough said...
 
dammit
5 days before my birthday
 
Think he'll return?
 
maybe my birthday present from @balpha or @RebeccaChernoff or @Shog9 can be to suspend Evan again...
not sure
the last time he was really active on SO was june
so maybe
anyway, I'm going to bed. Night all
 
5:08 AM
Night
 
Gonna just suspend everyone else. It'll be "the day of Evan". The Evaning.
 
That sounds like a horrible Birthday Present...
 
We'll do it on Jeff's birthday then
 
better
night
 
5:27 AM
I didn't think community bumped on SO
I'm looking at TWO community bumps with no apparent edits within 60 seconds of each other
 
Community bumps everywhere.
 
I see this.
I was looking at this year old 5k view post wondering why it was back on top
Took me a minute to figure it out
 
Oh damn, I think this build might have finally worked.
 
That doesn't inspire a lot of confidence there
 
This is why I'm not going to tell you what it's for.
But mostly the build script is huge (and not written by me, and had a bug or two), and the code uses a few technologies I'm unfamiliar with, so it took some prodding. All seems to be (reasonably) well now though.
 
5:35 AM
Oh I bet I know what its for
 
:o
 
It's for a large gov't bureau that specializes in things that the average citizen could never afford to live without but couldn't do on his own. Or one of their subcontractors. Or one of the subs clients. Or someone in the private sector entirely.
 
I'll tell you one thing, he's not building a playhouse for the children
 
What if it were like PeeWee's Playhouse?
 
That'd be one scary build script.
 
5:39 AM
I'm pretty sure that's what that was
 
but what's he building in there?
 
I'm watching Idiocracy right now and right as you asked that ...
Let's just say they're at the scene of the monday night rehabilitation
 
Morning
 
Evening
 
then Good day
 
5:44 AM
There is that I suppose
 
Oh Eclipse, why do you suck so very, very much?
 
@TimStone cough cough Java cough cough
 
I thought it was cough cough Eclipse cough cough
 
@TimStone I've heard rumored... that an object of sufficient mass will collapse under the weight of its own gravity... devouring anything within range... even light cannot escape... nor hope...
 
But would the light be eclipsed by such an object?
 
5:55 AM
@GeorgeMarian Java doesn't suck, it's just...inferior (I have to tell myself something positive, since I don't work with .NET anymore, at the moment).
 
Something about the lesser of two evils comes to mind... ;)
 
I was just sitting here and Eclipse decided it couldn't resolve my class imports anymore, from the same project. But only in one source file.
 
I had to reimport the entire project to fix it.
 
That's ok. Komodo doesn't like large files. Like it really, really doesn't like them. Almost as bad as vim.
 
5:59 AM
How large is large?
 
Several MBs.
 
Huh, I see.
 
6:15 AM
Hmm, I just realized that I wasn't notified about my support tag-badge :o
 
tsk tsk
 
Indeed
The system let me down :(
 
It amazes me how little people understand "a million hits per month" ... 23 hits a minute huh? One every two seconds? Wow, what a load!
 
It amazes me how few people know what a web browser is.
 
6:31 AM
shakes head
 
Yeah, it's pretty bad.
 
Although Google does seem intent on blurring the lines between, well, everything. But that was bad.
 
Google is evil. ;)
I say, as I go about using several of their products. lol
 
looks over at his Chromebook and shrugs
 
So, how are you liking it?
 
6:34 AM
I admittedly haven't used it very much.
 
did you watch this one too?
 
Mostly because I haven't gone anywhere.
 
@TimStone lol
 
tbh: I don't think I've ever heard of Coalition of the Willing
 
Why does that video have subtitles? :D
Ah yes, I've seen that one before.
 
6:35 AM
because not all the words are highly intelligible
street noises
 
@jcolebrand Oh, man... (and I'm only 22 second in to it)
 
I'm 3 in
it's ... wow
 
Oh, huh.
I just got an Enlightened badge and wasn't notified about that either.
Seems like maybe the badges awarded by scheduled processes aren't generating notifications.
 
@TimStone It's a conspiracy.
 
It must be. Which only leaves the question of who to blame...
 
6:39 AM
wow wow wow
@TimStone the wheel is welded on the top right of the window, no reason to guess anymore
that video inspires me that I may one day be a smarter man than most of the world, and that thought scares the shit out of me
also, it's 2am, I should goto bed.
Tim, have you eaten?
 
I have.
 
And apparently it's Jin's fault, although I'm not sure how.
But the Wheel never lies!
 
It's obvious!
Why didn't we see it sooner?
That it was Jins fault ...
 
ROFL OMG "Which one is throwing the rocks?"
3:34
 
6:42 AM
Yes, wait for "where is the berlin wall"
It scares me that I have to ask these things: stackoverflow.com/questions/6728174/…
 
I suppose I should take the upvotes and shut the hell up
 
Oh, wow...
Israel?
 
on the Berlin Wall?
 
shakes head slowly
 
6:45 AM
Yeah

Q: Javascript for loop and alert

SquadronsI am looping through a list of links. I can correctly get the title attribute, and want it displayed onclick. When the page is loaded and when I click on a link, all of the link titles are alerted one by one. What am I doing wrong? function prepareShowElement () { var nav = document.getElementBy...

I can't ... I just can't ...
Someone else please explain to this guy how loops work ...
 
braces himself and goes for a look
 
Oh God, now I know why he posted that ...

A: Beginner Javascript error with getAttribute

Darin DimitrovThe getElementsByTagName method returns an array of objects. So you need to loop through this array in order to get individual elements and their attributes: var navLinks = nav.getElementsByTagName('a'); for (var i = 0; i < navLinks.length; i++) { var link = navLinks[i]; var title = l...

 
"Your playing in the wrong pond."
 
my eyes, they bleed
holy effing shit
 
Oh, man. The thought of learning programming with JavaScript...
 
6:51 AM
Ok, if I keep up at that I'm gonna cry. OP there needs a LOT of guidance, and to get off JS
 
I don't have it in me right now. Otherwise, I would.
 
Yeah, I just realized it's almost 3 and opted to steer clear.
 
@TimStone oh the .IN crowd have come out to "help"
C'est la vie.
With this, I'm gone to bed.
I promise
 
heh g'night
 
Maybe
 
6:53 AM
G'night

@GeorgeEdison is this the guy who leaked mod info?
 
@tombull89 say what?

I've already seen this
 
I've seen that, @tombull89
 
This was before my time so I'm not really sure what this is about...I guess Aug 14th is going to be interesting...
also lololololol. classy.
yesterday, by Manjot
@jcolebrand I like to call you dick :P
 
oh wow.
 
8:39 AM
room transcript shows deleted chat posts? >:D
 
geez there was that brilliant comic with a over-simplified ipad application ("TOUCH") vs a business application with a lot of unaligned fields etc.
can't find it
 
how long has this room been about?
looks like another hangout for the bollywood nyan cat gang.
 
9:08 AM
@tombull89 you have any problem about casual chat room?
 
@surisahani I was merely inquiring how long the room had been in use.
 
@tombull89 its created just 3 days ago
@tombull89 any more inquiry you want about that room you can ask?
 
@surisahani No, but I know who to ask if I do.
 
@tombull89 ok thanks
 
Morning.
 
9:21 AM
Morning
So how are you?
 
I'm fine, thanks.
 
I want to know that can Fragment play the role of ActivityGroup?
 
you have got to be kidding...
 
row, row, row your boat
 
So its not possible?
 
9:32 AM
Koalas
 
I got an odd response to my question on SO so got confused.
 
Strawberry pudding
 
@surisahani Put a comment perhaps?
 
@badpssockpuppet yes I did put a comment.

sigh :eyeroll:
 
9:35 AM
I'd so like to have my blog design itself.
Deviantart can be a pain sometimes.
 
9:55 AM
@OctavianDamiean hi good afternoon
 
Hello there.
 
i have one question about android
in Android Discussion on Stack Overflow Chat, 6 mins ago, by Dr.Jackal
can any body give me answer if i had set Pending intent using Alarmmanager after 10 minutes and if i restart my device and again switched on within 5 minutes so can i get that Pending intent or not ?
 
My definitive answer is strawberry pudding.
 
pudding, pudding, I love thee pudding.
 
@OctavianDamiean hi i had ask you something
 
10:00 AM
I told you. The solution to your problem is strawberry pudding.
You can try other variations like chocolate or vanilla pudding though.
Damn, I'm hungry now.
 
@OctavianDamiean i have try all chocolate and vanilla if you are hungry then i can give you one indian flavor it is very testy i think you will like very much
 
@surisahani Of course. As much as I can get.
 
@surisahani ok sure
 
@DrJackal thanks
 
:D
 
10:13 AM
pudding? Puddi Puddi?
 
I think poti is also a nice dish have you ever had it?
 
and aslo loody
 
@DrJackal yes you are right
where did you hear that?
why dont you take something in your ears to clean it up dear.
 
10:30 AM
who had invite you to talk with me? :D
 
@DrJackal yar he is a flatter so its his by birth responsibility to come in between. lol
 
@surisahani hahhah :D
looks like a child give him a banana :P
 
@DrJackal I heard flatter people change their way by just a goli with loli......lol
 
means lollipop yeahh :D
 
yeah now you got it.
 
10:39 AM
why all people here are muted ?
 
I think its already reached to the respected person so he/she is having it, so quite.
@DrJackal I think because of today's festival "Maka jaki"
 
yeahh think same to you

1 hour later…
12:09 PM
LOL
 
12:46 PM
I am failing to understand how we manage to get so many questions asked on M.SO rather than SO.
 
I think because there are many Hajam's here on M.SO
 
@surisahani how many what?
 
@tombull89 knowledgable person's
 
Well if people ask a programming question on StackOverflow, they are likely to get an answer there. If they ask a programming question on Meta.Stackoverflow, it'll be closed.
 
@surisahani What language is that?
 
12:54 PM
they might not be knowing that.
@tombull89
 
They should be able to tell it's not the same site...different domain name and different colour schemes for a start.
 
1:09 PM
Oh well, there are confused people all over the place. :)
 
1:19 PM
A Hajam is a barber. What me meant is a person without actual work.
 
In your language it might be a barber.
 
2:06 PM
If ther was ever a case for speaking english all the time, this is it.

@surisahani What is your language?
 
"Apple releases iOS 4.3.4 to prevent Hacking and Jailbreaking."... hours later ... "Jailbreakme updated to support iOS 4.3.4 via tethered jailbreak"

@Fosco Yea, lol. This is why they never explicitly mention Jailbreak in the release notes.
 
heh.. i wish they'd give up. :\ they spend too much trying to keep us from using our hardware however we like.
 
2:45 PM
the heck, new login transitions?
 
@Sathya in what, chat?
 
@tombull89 yeah
 
@Sathya Hm?
 
@Moshe area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/33760/locales/33764#33764 - seems like an overlap with Travel
@TimStone avatar floated in in a hyperbolic curve, instead of the regular drop-in-a-straight-line

2:55 PM
heh
 
@tombull89 Tempted to change my display name to The Claw now....
 
- when "oooh" is typed, it plays a mp3/wav of the aliens.
 
@Sathya Feel free to comment ;-)
 
3:33 PM
@Sathya - In a way, yes, but this is more specific to conventions and customs. Travle would be a reason to want to know such a thing, but there are other things to ask about when planning a trip.
 
3:47 PM
> but there are other things to ask about when planning a trip.
which would be covered by Travel SE

Samsung Fascinate is now an officially supported Cyanogen Mod 7 device. <3
 
Hey, nifty... I have that phone
 
@Shog9 Have you played around with other roms?
 
gracias
I have not; it's my work phone, so I'm a bit reluctant to mess with it too much
 
Ah.. very easy to go back to stock. If you have any questions, let me know, I've been heavily into flashing and customizing roms for a while now.
 
thanks, I'll definitely be checking it out
 
4:13 PM
@Fosco which one do you have?
 
@Sathya Samsung Fascinate on Verizon.. it's the best.
 
ah, I have the Nexus S
 
Nice.. I hear the S is a good time.
 
yep, loving it.
CM7 for the NS is not that great though. Pretty unstable, random reboots
 
All of the Samsung Galaxy devices were difficult to figure out... The Fascinate has had different CM6/CM7 builds that have all been terrible for a while now. It's taken forever, but it's looking up now that it's going to be official.
I sent a donation towards JT1134 (the king of this stuff).. then realized that's the third time I've tossed him some cheddar.

hi all

Q: Remove the refresh on voting

NealWhen you vote on a question on the exchange your vote does not seem to take any affect until you refresh the page. The problem with that is sometimes your vote does not count and you get that red box of doom which says an error occurs. The problem with that red box is -- it does not always s...

 
umm... really?
 
guess noone likes my idea
 
5:27 PM
The vote takes effect, you see the vote amount go up.
 
@Fosco not until u refresh the page
try it out!
 
You do not need to see their adjusted reputation.
 
@Neal You see the arrow light up
 
@RebeccaChernoff Ah, hmm, I'll see if I can repro it. I just noticed that Geoff retagged it with the wrong tag :p
 
i want to be able to
bc sometimes the vote doesnt count
 
5:28 PM
the arrow lights up, the big number goes up.
 
and it fails silently
 
@Neal It doesn't fail silently, it fails with a giant error box
 
@MichaelMrozek you see the arrow, but not the rep
@MichaelMrozek not always.... read the Q...
 
I've never seen that happen, and that would be the issue to fix (if it happens)
 
@Neal Yes, I'm aware of how it works; how is that not good enough? The arrow and post score go up; why would you need the rep to go up?
I'm pretty sure the arrow dims and the score goes back down if the vote fails, actually
 
5:29 PM
@MichaelMrozek bc sometimes (once in a little blue moon) it fails without the red box
 
@Neal Then that's the real bug, that's what should be fixed
 
@MichaelMrozek ok. and that is what is part of my Q
 
I'm not sure I've ever seen that unless you're leaving the page too quickly, in which case changing the rep wouldn't have provided any additional feedback anyway.
 
@Neal You need to pick something; your question is suggesting fixing that bug and adding a new feature. They're two separate things
 
... ok so can we VC? ( i rly dont want to delete it bc it might be relavant in the future...)
 
@MichaelMrozek idk. its both... its a combined thing
 
@Neal "Voting sometimes fails silently" and "auto-update rep on the page when it changes" are completely unrelated. You just happen to want one because of the other
 
@RebeccaChernoff That was so <insert number of hours ago I read a similar article> ago!
 
@RebeccaChernoff Ironic since Firebug is terrible on Chrome
 
@MichaelMrozek eh.... i dont rly agree...
 
5:32 PM
wanders off to delete Tim's earlier message...
 
Shh, no one tell her that I didn't link it.
 
@Neal You don't have to I guess, but he's right.
 
@TimStone lol
 
Also, if you want to use your magic blue powers to reopen this question, I promise not to tell Jeff. The post history might, but (and I know I'll regret saying this) since blaming you is invalid, that's alright!
I thought I'd get reopen votes before it hit 100 views and they started to expire, but 6 people ruined that for me somehow. :P
 
@TimStone It's from February; good luck with that
 
5:35 PM
Well, it had two before my original one expired. I figured I could coax three more people in here eventually.
I wanted to move my answer over, since it's not really useful on the faux-duplicate.
 
how is that not a duplicate?
 
@TimStone how come? it was marked as a dupe, and the dupe is marked status-completed... is it not the same?.
 
No, the piece created the new bug.
 
i removed the question. ddnt seem useful to the community...
 
@Neal If you do see a case where a vote doesn't apply but you don't get an error and the arrow stays lit, definitely report it. I've never seen that happen
 
5:38 PM
kk
 
@RebeccaChernoff The back button was added per the feature request, but it only half-works per the bug report.
 
so people are whining because clicking cancel and then flag is too difficult? (:
 
Yes. :)
 
@RebeccaChernoff If you do it too quickly it goes all "slow down there cowboy" on you
 
It's inconsistent, and that bothers me.
 
5:41 PM
@RebeccaChernoff I sit at a desk eight hours a day, in a car one hour a day, and on a couch eight hours a day! My index finger doesn't have that kind of musculature!
* - above numbers may not be at all consistent with reality
 
I'll go add in a few extra clicks so you can build up the muscles in your index finger, then (:
 
:o
 
What wonderful things have I missed then? Anything interesting?
 
2 hours ago, by Fosco
Samsung Fascinate is now an officially supported Cyanogen Mod 7 device. <3
^ the only interesting thing I've seen all day.
 
@jcolebrand I'm just causing trouble. So...nothing new. q:
 
5:46 PM
@jcolebrand @RebeccaChernoff isn't using her powers for good, @PopularDemand needs to get more exercise, the usual.
Oh, and I'm in a meeting. Which is not interesting at all. But very typical.
 
The Nippon ad is sharp, well done.
 
@Fosco Thanks, I was linking to the other two that I just posted, for the Gaming Blog.
^----Why does that not show the image properly?
 
I guess images do not appear inside answer one-boxes.
