The 2:10 flight still claims to be on time

Bart

.... I need help. I actually started answering questions on SO today ... that can't be good.

rene

I'll downvote so you get banned

Doorknob

It's 2:11 and the 2:10 flight is supposedly "On Time"

rene

@Doorknob there is no date with that time?

Doorknob

Lol

Bart

8:12 PM

Please do @rene. I'm even answering in C# so I most likely deserve it.

rene

checking...

I might have started an edit-war stackoverflow.com/questions/8583720/…

Doorknob

I Swyped my keyboard randomly and got "guesswork." I Swyped that and a suggestion was "firestorm." I Swyped that and a suggestion was "Gordon." Gordon uses PHP, therefore coding in PHP is guesswork.

...I'm really bored

Bart

@rene Why that edit though?

Ah, 1 question with that tag I see

rene

The retag was requested on meta and seemed OK...

Bart

Hmm...

rene

8:16 PM

So I retagged all questions to have the tag vanish at 03:00 UTC

Bart

You have a link to that request?

rene

here you go meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/225471/retag-mpich2-as-mpich/…

hichris123

Do you guys think that platform should be burniated?

Bart

Okay, reversing the edit and I'll leave the link for the other editor

rene

OK, tnx

Bart

8:18 PM

Wait, ... they got synonymized?

no

Yep

@Bart Ya.

stackoverflow.com/tags/mpich/synonyms

Okay, problem solved. :D

Way to do all the work requested without having any sort of debate about it. Good to know that "community" has a distinct meaning to you (that appears disparate from what it really means). — Kyle Kanos 1 min ago

@rene Just inform him to retag the questions mpich2 if he so desires. :p

stackoverflow.com/posts/22583090/revisions This minor edit from that 144k :(

my niece (4) took my nephew's blanket away, and her mother told her to give it back, and she broke out with "I not LET IT GO, I not LET IT GO..."

@TimWolla No, I just put mypassword.

Bart

Nope @hichris123, not really

TimWolla

@hichris123 Oh, nvm. Carry on.

Doorknob

@hichris The questions should just be closed and perhaps deleted.

Bart

^ that

hichris123

@Doorknob That too. :P

YOU'RE MAKING ME USE MY LAST CLOSE VOTE!!! :(

Doorknob

8:29 PM

Yup, 2:10 just got cancelled

hichris123

@TimWolla Yeah, just didn't want people to say Oh, you forgot your password!.

Doorknob

Looks like I'll have to stay in a hotel for another day

Brb lots of stuff is happening

rene-ng!

:D

cv-plz stackoverflow.com/q/11564149/2581872

@rene You should know better than to answer a question like that! :P

rene

I need the rep, need rep...

8:32 PM

:D

hichris123

@hichris123: I'd agree if, for instance, you had 15 up-votes. 6 votes to me says that no one really cared to even read the post (given the popularity of MSO as compared to individual sites' metas). You also implicitly assume that everyone who has an opinion actually checks MSO, a patently false position. — Kyle Kanos 29 secs ago

Bart

@rene you don't have to draw on glasses, you can borrow mine

hichris123

@rene ^^ lets it go :P

rene

Enough with the fun about my sock-puppet

hichris123

Ooh... you admitted @rene it's your sock! :D

Josh Crozier

I would have never guessed.

Doorknob

@hichris I have a sock too! :-P

rene

I move on meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/225471/retag-mpich2-as-mpich/…

Doorknob

Blah, booking hotel room now

The advantage of this is that I can close questions more efficiently, right @hichris? ;-)

hichris123

8:40 PM

@Doorknob Yeah. :D

@Doorknob Wait, why were you even in Colorado in the first place?

Doorknob

@hichris Umm... furtive glance

It's spring break for me :-P

hichris123

@Doorknob Wat? Mine's not till... 2, 3 weeks?

Doorknob

@hichris Some schools in my district even had theirs a week earlier

Josh Crozier

As soon as it's spring break for me, I'm going to try and hit 30k..

Doorknob

Brb again more stuff is being happening occurrence

8:46 PM

What does everyone think about this question? I just ran across it searching for something via Google and went "wtf o.o"

The question provides no real information and all the answers are basically just guesses about what the problem might be.

Josh Crozier

@animuson Most of the answers start with "I had the same problem.."

hichris123

@animuson Meh, not a good question, not a horrible question.

animuson

Reminds me of the 500 Internal Server Error.

I mean, that's basically what this question is asking, no? "Why am I getting a 500 Internal Server Error?"

Bart

27 answers are a pretty good indication that the question is not all that great.

Especially if they are all of the "let's throw it at the wall and see if it sticks" type.

3ventic

Too broad most likely.

rene

8:49 PM

Not enough info to diagnose

hichris123

Okay, why do we use twitter-bootstrap for bootstrap? No one uses bootstrap for non-Twitter Bootstrap stuff as far as I can tell...

animuson

What if I need help with the straps on my boots?

Doorknob

@hichris Bootstrapping is also a commonly used term outside of web development stuff

rene

@hichris123 there is a meta post on that

Josh Crozier

Multiple meta posts

8:52 PM

@rene Linky?

@Doorknob I know, but recently... not so much. (at least on SO)

rene

Q: Bootstrap tags revisited

There's a world of ambiguity and mis-tagging between bootstrap bootstrapping and twitter-bootstrap twitter-bootstrap-2 twitter-bootstrap-3. Can we sort it? The Issues bootstrap and bootstrapping are stated as for talking about bootstrapping in terms of computer start-up, however the vast major...

Q: Least intrusive antivirus software for development PC?

What is the least intrusive and most effective antivirus software for a Windows PC that is used for software development (lots of small files and lots of disk I/O)? The software should support running from the command line so that virus scan be included into the build process. Edit: I understand ...

security antivirus

Not sure what to think about unsung being first gold. Time for strategy change :/

TimWolla

Anyone that can clear revision histories here?

stackoverflow.com/q/22583422/782822 This one seems to have contained an actual problem with a password (not a localhost one)

hichris123

@TimWolla Any CM can (I think). Also, you can just email team@.

animuson

Unsung was my second gold (after Fanatic). I received it the day the badge was created.

TimWolla

8:55 PM

@hichris123 I already flagged it, but I considered it to be important enough, because the host is not a simple localhost.

rene

@TimWolla now that the OP has that comment in his inbox you better remove it.

Undo

@animuson Give me their name that I may haunt them for the rest of their lives.

TimWolla

@rene Doesn't it vanish then? I removed it just now anyway.

rene

Until your flag is handled (which might take 7 hours) not. Comments are not part of the revisions

TimWolla

@rene I mean: Doesn't the notification vanish when my comment is deleted?

rene

8:58 PM

Oh

uuhh

Undo

yes

IIRC

wait, maybe not

Josh Crozier

No, it doesn't.

3ventic

Nope

rene

There is some condition..If the user is currently logged on it is removed?

3ventic

If it has existed long enough to cause the notification (read: existed at all), people will be notified of it, even if it gets deleted.

rene

9:00 PM

that ^^^^

animuson

Once a notification has been generated, it is forever. Like a fat chick you didn't mean to hook up with at that convention, but you were just so drunk.

TimWolla

Okay, thanks then.

Undo

@animuson but non-mod comments on deleted posts get their notifications baleeted.

I'm now in a bus going to a hotel.
