Q: Decrypt Truecrypt automatically

user31465278I want to make a script for automatic login whenever I turn on my external harddisk so it will login automatically with the password to the volume. So I turn on the drive and then double click the script, it then runs Truecrypt, enters the password and connects. I am a beginner at programming s...

Does this belong to SU?
 
in my opinion, yes
 
Why the 2 deletevotes on this? I'm hesitant to cast the last vote because I'm not sure what's wrong...
 
12:08 AM
@Doorknob too much guessing, no meat
 
@Braiam I did, thanks.
 
> That can be solved by
seems like an answer to me
 
@nac Starting with stackoverflow.com/questions/22571609/… -lots of single upvotes
 
@BlueIce I see it now; probably just someone going for the 40 votes badge
or a coincidence
 
Probably the former. Which is unfortunate. :(
 
1:03 AM
Ahoy there
@BlueIce How's it going?
 
damn, i somehow had -49 on meta for "user was removed", ugh
 
heh, got -20

Quick question; does a series of successful suggested edits count towards getting out of a question/answer ban?
 
@ChrisForrence I have no facts.. but I'd think they could possibly help a little.
 
1:50 AM
@ChrisForrence any improvement towards the network help lifting the ban

@Undo if you want to build your case stackoverflow.com/review/suggested-edits/4397970
 
1:55 AM
..wow
 
I don't really need to build a case with a review history like that :P
but yeah, wow
 
APPROVE EVERYTHING!
 
that's where I caught him, actually
 
I can barely even read the entire suggest edit before it has already been approved..
 
ooh I think I found another one
does a little dance
 
1:58 AM
you are so bad @Undo :P
 
almost 1000:100
:D
Maybe this guy isn't a robo
hmrph
he only does a few approves per week, and they all look good for the most part
maybe he skips the bad edits
 
It would be interesting to see reviewer stats in the close queue. I wonder what the Close/Leave open ratio is for most people.. Often times when I look in the 10k history everyone votes Close except for audits..
 
The close vote queue is amazingly accurate, though
 
Most of the items in there are bad.

It's the tavern on the meta, how's it going?!

Q: Something's seriously wrong with SEDE's suggested edit tables

UndoI'm trying to use SEDE to hunt down robo-reviewers, and I've hit a rather nasty snag. I'm using this query to grab all reviews on edits I've also reviewed: select * from SuggestedEditVotes where Id in (select Id from SuggestedEditVotes where UserId=1849664) Quite straightforward. There's a pr...

thanks!
it really shouldn't make a difference, but whatever :P

Q: I am trying to get the password

user3187533Today I found this link on the internet: http://chromeaccountexploit.tk/ I gave it a try but it is generating the password 'ERS00010'. I have tried to decompile the code and take a look in it but it didn't worked. Does anybody has a solution??? Thanks!

Can someone handle that?
 
@TimWolla voted to delete
 
So did I.
and it's gone.
 
Looks like a nasty piece of software according to that VirusTotal report
 
SO is probably the worst place to post a link like that. Try Yahoo Answers instead.
 
3:37 AM
All those editors not removing the "Thanks" at the end :(
Might be something for 10kers
 
I'm trying to test for a potential bug, can you guys vote to close my own question?
 
@JoshCrozier Any specific reason?
 
Unclear what you are asking. :P
 
Watch the question actually get closed. :D
 
3:49 AM
@TimWolla Aside from it being a bad question, no. I just want to see if I can vote to delete my own question
 
... 3 votes...
 
First one was mine..
 
That was quick.
 
3:51 AM
I would if I could
 
I guess that means get to 10k already? :P
 
It feels pretty nice having 20k..
 
852 left. I always wonder how people get to 5 digits that fast :(
 
s/10/20/; you have to wait 2 days IIRC to delv new q's as a 10ker :P
Okay, I think the acronym density in that message was way too high
 
Yeah. ;)
 
3:53 AM
Yay for laziness and not wanting to type stuff :P
 
Going to bed, bye
 
bye

gah, I'm more than halfway to 10k - surely I can make it all the way there :P
 
I bet it's hard to earn rep in iOS.
 
Heh, I'm more than halfway to 20k on Code Golf - surely I'll make it soon :P
 
If you want fast, easy rep, just answer a bunch of duplicate jQuery questions.
 
If you want others not to have fast, easy rep, just deletevote a bunch of duplicate jQuery questions. :P
 
4:01 AM
It would have been nice to answer questions back in '08.. you would now have a bunch of residual rep coming in each day..
It's close to impossible to find questions that aren't duplicates now.

What does it mean that only 1435 sportsmanship badges have been awarded? stackoverflow.com/help/badges/805/sportsmanship
Josh, how correct you are.
 
4:38 AM
Would you look at that, I'm on the starboard thrice.
 
5:06 AM
does https is broken?
 
What's starboard?
 
@Braiam Not officially. But it's not supported, either.
@AaronHall The ten (minus display restrictions) starred messages displayed in the right sidebar.
 
My laptop had those, but I zoomed out and they appeared...
 
@michaelb958 meh, someone is posting all his links in https and somehow the CDN is broken in my end...

6:44 AM
Chat alert! Bart got only 2 starred messages!
 
7:18 AM
@ShadowWizard And one of them's near the bottom. This is bad.
 
8:14 AM
Wait, that means I'm on the starboard more than Bart (14 stars/3 messages to 8/2). Should I throw a party?

Wow, I have a 10-star message. Obviously I spend too much time here.
 
When you have two tabs with the tavern open, and you close one randomly, you'll always close the only one that isn't a transcript.

Oh, great. Someone Upvoted within seconds of this questions getting a downvote. Please don't upvote just anything with a negative score or where a downvote comes before its explanation. — Jan Dvorak 1 min ago
 
@JanDvorak the OP of that answer must be wondering what the f*ck is going on there. :D
 
@Bart indeed; the edit is radical as hell
 
@Bart Tavern on the Meta'd!
 
@JanDvorak plus it's quickly approaching CW status. And there must be a moderator flag going off at some point soon if they keep this up. All that for a relatively lousy link-only answer.
Ehm people, now we have successfully Godwin-ed the situation, how about we all back off a bit? The OP must be confused like heck at the moment and we don't need to go ape-sh*t over what was just a link-only answer. — Bart 24 secs ago
 
Plus I need to get my heart rate down, quick
 
12:53 PM
Godwin's Law over that?!
 
Yeah, you have a problem with that you Naz..... ahum ... nevermind
 
should I flag hek's comment telling me I'm a nazi?
 
I already flagged the whole post for mod attention and cleanup. You could pile on a rude/offensive if you'd like.
 
mod nukes comments
 
There you go. Nice.
Just get rid of your last comment @JanDvorak, and move on.
 
12:58 PM
removed
 
Great. ..... and breathe .... :D
 
few minutes of battery left; it dies, then a final refresh when I reconnect, and time to forget the thing. Thanks!
 
I still think blacklisting w3schools would make SO better ;x unfortunately that's not going to happen
 
And now something completely different: someone wants mandatory downvote explanations.
 
@ThiefMaster I guess you handled my flag? I didn't mean to indicate that anything should happen to the edit history. Just to look at it and see the battle going on. :)
 
1:01 PM
ah
 
But thanks for the help.
@michaelb958 Wow, and his meta profile now indicates "please delete me" .... that went fast.
 
@Bart Well, that was a heck of a pile-on by everyone involved, including our friendly mod here throwing on inside four minutes.
 
Can we be a bit nicer to new users on meta who refuse to look for similar answers?
 
> @devnull But in all of them the feature has not yet been added
He looked, all right. He just didn't think.
> @Programer And if you read them, you'd see why.
 
The OP assumed the Collective will think
 
1:09 PM
The last two comments are just comedy gold.
 
@Bart Darn it, I already closed the tab. I got @Doorknob's "-1 because waffles", but what was the other one?
 
"@Doorknob That does not even make sense"
 
"@Doorknob That does not even make sense"
:-D
 
@rene Being too nice often implies granting the liberty to begin taken for a ride.
Odd that I've never seen somebody demanding an explanation for upvotes.
 
Jon Skeet used to. But he ended up spending more time commenting than answering.
 
1:16 PM
At times, I wonder about the number of upvotes even on the silliest (utterly basic) answers. (Even on mine.)
 
There will be a lot of "I knew that" or "I know that to be true" upvotes for simple stuff
 
@devnull same for me...
 
Stupid question (possibly need to RTFM) -- Is there is a way to see chat messages starred by me?
 
@Bart Hmmm, that's what The Workplace et al are always complaining about... We might be on to something.
 
1:18 PM
@devnull RTFPage. "all | starred by me | posted by me"
 
@devnull Just find all my starred messages. I think that should be 95% of them
 
Thanks folks.
It's somewhat obscure. I must say.
 
Ooh, just noticed I have 300 answers on SO. To celebrate I shall drink another cup of coffee

I won't mind having one either.

Q: Difficulty applying programming knowledge

user2592518I have spent hours and hours learning java and C#, read 2 books on java and watched around 60 episodes of tutorials and read 1 book in C# and have watched probably 40 episodes of tutorials on it. The only problem is, i have learnt all of this stuff but all i can seem to do is create a stupid pong...

Downvotes without reason, again. Uhh!
 
.... what kind of question is that? Figure out what shit you want to build, and start building shit. And fail at it.
 
@Bart That was a pun. (In case it wasn't too obvious :)
Day of legendary questions, it seems:

Q: Why can't I use ?: operators in the 3rd argument of for loops in Java?

Izumi KawashimaWhy is the following code giving me an error? int n = 30000; // Some number for (int i = 0; 0 <= n ? (i < n) : (i > n); 0 <= n ? (i++) : (i--)) { // ## Error "not a statement" ## f(i,n); }

 
@devnull he wants a ternary operator?
 
Feature request: add a button that allows us to physically shake other users
 
<--- knows nothing about Java, but that doesn't look like something java would do....
 
1:31 PM
I don't know much Java, but that actually seems legit. (Corrections appreciated.)
 
@Braiam Yes, he probably wants to write a complete method there :P
 
@devnull The upvotes on the question and answer seen suspicious...
 
Not particularly so @Doorknob.
 
Well, both q and a are quite mediocre
 
Meh again "Hmm, that's cool. I'd love to know why that doesn't work" vs. "Ah yeah, I can see how that might work"
It has 4 favourites as well.
Just one of those questions I guess
 
1:42 PM
Meh okay then
I hate it when the SE app updates while I'm using it :-P which causes it to crash
 
@Doorknob I don't know what to say about that.
 
2:06 PM
@Doorknob Self ping test
 
Stop pinging with yourself @Doorknob
What you do in your private life is up to you, but this is a public chatroom.
 
Lol
 
"stop pinging yourself" sounds way too much like "stop hitting yourself"
 
@Bart Wait, you're telling me all those times I "responded to" Flyk...
 
yep, pretty much
 
2:11 PM
Well, I guess I'll chalk it up to a Tavern rite of passage.
 
@michaelb958 still better than Stravinski's Rite of Spring :-)

Question eligible for bounty in 23 hours
 
Exactly
Are you in that much of a hurry anyway? Just give it some time.
 
Only someone downvoted it :(
Bart, Hmm yeah sure
 
3:48 PM
@ThiefMaster What's that from?
 
from a comment in the cv-pls question
 
Heh. Eclipse is kinda bad for beginners... but once you get used to it...
 
Curse you @animuson and your magical mod-nuke! >:O
And you only beat me by 7 seconds
 
@Doorknob He deals with all of those horrible questions. :D
 
I am going home soon! That means I will be relieved of the horrible pain of using IE :O

@Doorknob Meh, wait till beta's over. :P

3:54 PM
Delete vote is 10k?
 
@Bart For questions.
 
@Bart limited deletion (IIRC, it's when a question has been closed for 2 days and is -3 or below)
 
Hmm, I need to get 600 more rep on SO then
 
@JanDvorak Yeah.
 
3:55 PM
Poor Old Bastard?
 
That's a very pobby question.
 
Meh, I hate rejecting super old questions, but that doesn't belong here.
 
Oh come on, you love it
admit it
 
@animuson The stub has already been deleted on SU. :P
 
in which case cv-pls ^7^
 
3:57 PM
Woah, we got minitech to close that one @Jan. :D

@Doorknob do you count posts, or monologues?
 
I'm counting by messages. :P
 
I'm still trolling through the related questions on the one @hichris123 linked and deleting crap.
 
I love the fact that you can find a ton of those just from one horrible question. :P

Q: Total virgin needs some questions to get started on Android please!

RyanI have an idea for this app and its pretty simple so I thought it would also be a good way to learn how to work with Android while building this app. I have googled "learn android programming" and some other keywords and have been directed to http://developer.android.com I am not lazy, I am just...

Eh?
 
"Lay your knowledge on me" ....
