MGM, Warner Bros Reboot ‘Stargate’ - Ok, where's my knife? Seriously, I'm going to stab someone. Can the giant S be repurposed for this task?
 
1:02 AM
@Bart Yes, however, raise a custom flag on the post. Then the mods will see what you were talking about, and can show the deleted comments on the post.
 
1:12 AM
This looks like spam to me but I'm used to the screeching ads of the Molvi ji crowd, so am I jumping the gun?

A: Uml diagram Tomcat and Axis2

macy dalbyYour diagram looks great! I used a website called Lucidchart to create my own deployment diagram and it was really easy to understand. If you use diagrams often you should check it out!

 
@Louis Not spam. Lucidchart's an acutal reputable service.
(I've used it)
 
@hichris123 I don't think whether the service is reputable or not determines whether a post is spam.
 
I'm flagging it.
 
@Louis Meh. I'm not seeing spam there, just a really crappy answer (if an answer at all).
 
1:22 AM
I've just recalled seeing this answer earlier today referred in a post on Meta:
If this one was spam, then the Uml one is spam too.
 
@Louis That specific answer was not flagged as spam. It doesn't even have a flag on it.
 
I can't contest to the validity of that one. Since the user was destroyed, I can't really investigate what other activity there was from that account.
Pizza!
 
Ewwww pepperoni.
 
1:35 AM
You don't like pepperoni?
 
Nope.
 
@animuson D:
@Louis Close the question too.
 
@bjb568 Yeah, I put in a close vote before I posted the SPAM warning.
 
Good.
 
1:38 AM
@Louis Meh, again, not sure it's really spam. More of an NAA.
 
Start being sure.
 
When you're a mod, you look at things a bit differently. ;)
Having binding votes is... interesting.
 
Becoming a moderator: when everything changes from "I'm sure" to "I better be sure."
 
yup
Or else you get called out on meta for it. :P
 
Does it matter? It's crappy crap and needs to be deleted.
 
1:41 AM
Eh, you get called out for the things you are sure about too so...
 
Well, both posts I brought up here were treated as spam.
 
Gone.
 
@bjb568 Yeah, it matters. A) 6 spam flags/1 mod spam flag == 100 rep penalty + (maybe) a black mark on your profile for mods. B) That spam flag feeds into the spam blocking mechanism, which might prevent legitimate answers from being posted. Probably not, but still....
 
Crap user, black mark may not be a bad idea. Crap answer, blocking answers like it is a good idea.
What does a black mark look like? I'm curious now.
 
@bjb568 I'm not ready to call the last case I posted a "crap user".
 
1:47 AM
Too much pizza. :x
 
@bjb568 I have no clue if a user gets a black mark or not. I've never seen a user with a spam flagged post on my site, so...
 
Meh. What kind of site doesn't have spam?
@Louis Get ready!
 
@bjb568 ... Earth Science :P
It's only been 30 days in beta, though.
Also, you should join us!
 
I don't know anything about the Earth. Except for me and my computer and the interblags.

just because of this question, I made an account there. I love puzzles
It seems kind of code golf, but without code
 
:D
 
Fine! I'll create an account.
Why doesn't it automatically give me an account SE-wide?
 
I don't want an account SE-wide
I just want account on the sites I like
sitting free and spinning wheel of blame
 
6:01 AM
12 accounts with 101 reputation… >:(
Very spam.
 
@bjb568 check my account ;-)
 
O.O
 
@JanDvorak your created another one.....
 
6:55 AM
it seems if I write less descriptive answers, I get more upvotes.
 
the more you describe, the less they understand, the more they think answer is not good.
 
yeah, more place to argue, etc.
 
I've found that only on meta.

The funniest thing there is that he apparently started typing it out by hand and only after a couple thought "this is taking far too long, let's copy paste"

and yes, spam flag does cast a downvote. I just checked
 
Of course it does.
 
8:00 AM
I just came to know about it yesterday
 
before that I used to first downvote and then flag
 
That casts 2 downvotes. One by you, one by Community.
Which is a good idea.
 
oh!! I can cast two votes on one question.
But there was a talk of question not getting into highlight because of downvotes or spams, I just don't remember it
here they are
 
I do not quite like the idea that answer authors can undelete deleted posts.
 
8:10 AM
Same.
 
@LaszloPapp that is primarily a vote
I can't directly undelete my answer, I have to cast a vote.
 
I think it should be more of a "Your answer was crap, don't post any more for the next week" than "Meh, you can override 4 people who obviously know more than you"
Especially for crap answers by high-reps. I just hate how they don't know better.

steveEvery time I copy something then paste it this happens: <p dir="ltr">YouTube</p> You see I wrote down YouTube and those letters and symbols came up beside it. Its annoying me. Tell me.in the simplest terms how to get rid of it On android 4.2.2

this was undeleted, but I do not understand why.

8:32 AM
There's no sign of it being deleted @LaszloPapp
Ah, someone might have to tell him that if he's still ignoring me :D
 
@LaszloPapp You ignoring Bart?
 
9:18 AM
@DroidDev c'mon now, perfect skin is every programmers first priority, vote to reopen
the ignore feature should not exist...
I just single handidly cleared out the Low Quality posts queue
 
10:01 AM
@Bart as always, the most interesting stuff happens when I'm not here.
 
10:23 AM
You really should learn to use man pages. Type man man and look inside man7.org; install man and manpages-dev packages of your distribution. — Basile Starynkevitch Nov 11 '13 at 17:40
I am not sure if I should flag that. It does not sound constructive to me.
 
10:40 AM
@Laszlo: Dunno, it seems to be useful advice, and I'm not sure how to phrase it much better than that. It doesn't answer the direct question, but then, it has been answered already (and comments shouldn't be answers, anyway).
 
@IlmariKaronen if the question is a typo question, it should be closed, not answered
then answering in comments is appropriate
 
?
It's not a typo question, but it does show that the OP didn't read the manual for the function they're using.
Ah, I see what you mean.
 
11:05 AM
it is definitely not a typo question. It is trying to grasp the concept.
@IlmariKaronen: there is plenty of ways to express it better, e.g. copy/pasting the corresponding lines from the manual without being harsh.
 
11:16 AM
@LaszloPapp: Copy-pasting from the manual would be kind of redundant, since there's a perfectly good answer that basically does that already. Yes, the comment could've been softened, e.g. by prepending "If you haven't already..." (the OP clearly hasn't, but it would still soften the tone), but I still would not call it "not constructive" -- telling the OP about the existence of man pages, and how to use them, is very much constructive.
 
@user0000000 don't have that much of rep for reopen vote :((((
 
The direct man-page link in the first comment is kind of non-constructive, though, since the page it links to doesn't actually contain the answer. (That would be found in the ctime(3) man page instead.)
 
11:34 AM
@rene although he raised a good point: people hunting for only rep and quality is not the thing people are going for
somebody is crazy about fitness
 
@DroidDev please don't onebox spam. The correct format is: SPAM [link]
 
@JanDvorak ok, sorry for this time, will keep that in mind from now on
 
@rene I agree it's the 40+ year olds that are trouble.
 
At least that is out of the way then .... :-)
 
P.s. do note that this boundary will shift over time, coincidentally at the same speed as my age progresses.
 
there are 16000 guys of my age
 
I opened bounty tab expecting some good question, even found some good ones, but this one is just.... what can I say.... :-|
 
12:04 PM
@IlmariKaronen: people are aware of manual pages, otherwise he could not have written a program using functions from the manual pages....
and in fact, it is not only non-constructive, but also pointless as there was already an answer available. I do not see any point in that comment.
and the first comment is the only constructive there.
 
@3ventic That looks like a tsunami is coming after me...
 
Maybe it is
 
@rene LOL, you are about to ride a wave.
 
Average age on SO is 29, on gaming it's 30 o.O
 
REALLY!!!!
well, most of the youngsters don't play much arcade or that kind of games, they mostly like speedy games.
warfare etc

@DroidDev I'll start learning how to surf...
 
@rene you better start now, wave is coming. :D
 
12:24 PM
Question for the community. Does anyone know if any browser or external tool provide a client-like version of Delicious? Basically an archive of favourite links with tagging/searching options...
to much Stack. I was browsing this page and I got stuck thinking why this "Rene" didn't had the usual avatar.
 
LOL
sometimes I think of pressing ctrl+F in newspaper or a book in order to find something

Perfect timing @GnomeSlice. :) Thanks
 
If it's not to your tastes, let me know and I'll give you something else.
 
My ridiculously sized feet are tapping @GnomeSlice
 
1:52 PM
@LaszloPapp: Seriously? A bare link to an online copy of a man page that doesn't answer the question is constructive, while an explanation of what man pages are and how to use them isn't? We must have a very different understanding of what "constructive" means. (Hint: It's not just an antonym of "rude"; a comment can be both very polite and totally unconstructive at the same time.)
 
....... SharePoint dead chats are dead.
 
@LaszloPapp: Now, I can see where you're coming with the "learn to use man pages" comment -- it would be terribly rude and unconstructive to offer only that as an answer. But that comment was posted almost five hours after the question had been properly answered.
Yeah, it's not really very nicely phrased; feel free to flag if you don't like it. But the OP is probably better off for having seen it, nonetheless.
(whereas the link to man strptime would've been totally useless to them, because the answer is on another man page)
What's surprising to me is that the question does not seem to be a dupe; the only good match I can find is this, and that's about the Java calendar API (which inherits the same issue, but is not really the same otherwise).
 
2:18 PM
@IlmariKaronen: just move on.
 
I will, but I did want to edit that question into shape first, since it seem to be the best question we've got on this subject. Anyway, you might be amused to know that I just flagged the comment you were initially talking about for removal, since it's indeed not very useful if the question is going to be used as a dupe target. And yes, I chose "not constructive", because it's the closest of the canned flag reasons.
 
2:42 PM
Please tell me there's already a topic on this, but I think the vote lock time shouldn't be 5 minutes.

4:09 PM
 
Flagged @Braiam. Or wait, wasn't I supposed to do that?
 
:D
 
@Braiam OK, I think I didn't messed that up. Most of them I had were install/dual boot issue, not kernel compile/grub thingies. On the efi tags I was not so sure but I didn't handle much of those (yet)
 
@rene yeah, I think most of the "on topic" side are about grub, efi/uefi I doubt so
 
4:16 PM
OK, when in doubt I'll skip or call for help...
 
... that's not how you do evil @rene
 
Just turn on the batsignal Braiamsignal.
 
Does that make @rene Robin?
 
More like Commissioner Gordon, I'd think. (I don't recall Robin using the signal, usually.)

@Braiam What? There's no signal?

We did not invent the algorithm. The algorithm consistently finds Jesus. The algorithm killed Jeeves.
The algorithm is banned in China. The algorithm is from Jersey. The algorithm constantly finds Jesus.
This is not the algorithm. This is close.
