hi @balpha. Sorry to brother, just a little question out of curiosity. Your avatar on SE... just a random image found around or you actually know the character in it (and probably follow FIM)?? free to not reply if you haven't time now - don't want to.
 
@SPArchaeologist doesn't his avatar just have a photo of him in it?
 
balpha? urgh, sorry.
 
@SPArchaeologist soo... um did you sleep at all last night?
 
@balpha Sorry - wrong person. Autocomplete autowronging my intent :P
 
This whole SE thinghy turns out to be an Anime?
 
10:10 AM
lemme guess.. BoltClock?
 
@Vogel612'sShadow was going to write bolt.
yep
 
I think his avatar is coming from Unicornify
which was developed by balpha.
 
nope, the other one
^this one
 
@balpha again, sorry, was intended for Bolt, please ignore me ^_^'
 
10:12 AM
um they are the same..
his mse name is just different from elsewhere ...
similar to how I did it.
 
@Vogel612'sShadow I know. I just wonder if the avatar is just random or if I have found another watcher.
 
@SPArchaeologist I am wondering when you'll say "We are spreading"
 
so, @BoltClock'saUnicorn, sorry for my curiosity but I was wondering ... Tat avatar you use on SE is just random or you actually follow FIM? Please ignore me if you don't want to reply.

So .... bjb is a bot now?

@Bart He always was.
 
:D That would explain a lot

@AndrewT. Ohh, bot spam again :(
I will kick it
 
Sam
@InfiniteRecursion Again?
 
@Sam Yes, fake Smokey bot spam kick happened before
 
Sam
Oh o_o
 
So ... what's @bjb568's point?
 
@bjb kicked you for one minute for fake Smokey bot spam
 
10:34 AM
@SPArchaeologist My MSE avatar is from balpha's program. My avatar on the rest of the network is indeed none other than Apple Bloom
 
s/gor/for
 
 
@BoltClock'saUnicorn I take that as a yes. So Bolt knows FiM. ^_^ Yay.
^right now, @DroidDev "We are spreading".
 
Nowadays I feel like I am babysitting a borked botling :/

10:37 AM
@SPArchaeologist lol, I feel the need to change my avatar now
there's too much anime floating around on SE now. I am thinking of something bataman related
or even better...Joker
 
@DroidDev you know that FiM is not anime, right?
 
@bummi off-site, eh?
 
jep :)
 
Sam
10:46 AM
@InfiniteRecursion Thanks.
 
Do you have a question or are you just venting? — rene 11 secs ago
 
@SPArchaeologist REALLY!! O_o
 
gone
 
@DroidDev Anime is a term used only for Japanese animation. FiM is made in America.
 
@SPArchaeologist I knew about anime, but I didn't know about FiM made in America

@chmod I think it's more usual to tenderize chicken after it's been plucked
 
user202362
obviously, you have never had an overweight pet chicken before
 
Sam
@Fundamental Interesting. Does the body retrieving part return html or just plain text?
 
12:17 PM
@chmod you're right, last time I chickens must have been close to 10 years ago but I had them on a special diet to keep them slim (works for me too):

Q: More guidance on the onedrive tag wiki

Patrick HofmanWe all know that Microsoft points to SO as community support for the OneDrive SDK's (link, click 'Community' in the top bar). The link now points to the tag wiki, which is an excellent point to include some extra guidance for people coming here fresh. Do you think it is useful to edit the wiki,...

Your input is welcome.
 
@Moosebot alive
 
user280395
@Mooseman I. AM. ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE.
 
s/have/need/
 
1:31 PM
@Mooseman You have been rejected by someone else as 'spam / vandalism', and you now risk being edit banned... There was a reason I took it to meta...
 
@PatrickHofman Can't imagine why for the wiki itself... the excerpt was getting too long though and those names were outdated.
 
Because... shouting?
 
@Mooseman I think the shouting part did it...

^^ exactly
 
oh
then "inverted commas"
 
> There is a large amount of users who downvote just because they don't like the question happens all the time. I think it's a power thing. There are still many decent users on this site too +1 from me. Your question is sound.
 
1:43 PM
@DroidDev What's wrong with correct grammar?
 
@hichris123 link please. need context :)
 
@Mooseman I just said that, in-case you want to write it another way...to avoid sending a message to other people that you are shouting
 
@DroidDev +1

@T.J.Crowder: If the question was unclear, you couldn't answer it... which you did. I suggest to vote to reopen. — Patrick Hofman 8 secs ago
@hichris123: ^^^
 
user259867
@PatrickHofman Not at all. Guessing answers that imagine a problem the OP might have are not uncommon, and they are not a reason to reopen the question.
 
user259867
Unless the question is clarified by an edit, of course.
 
@Fundamental But why answer it then?
 
user259867
@PatrickHofman That's a valid point.

Q: Merge [skydrive] into [onedrive]

Daniel A. WhiteSince Microsoft rebranded, there are 170ish questions with skydrive that need tagged with onedrive. Can we get a synonym to "rename" skydrive?

cv-pls stackoverflow.com/q/8924582/1699210 two answers would be NAA due to the question, I'm out of votes :(
 
yay, spam.
Ooooh the body thing worked :D
 
user259867
Yes, worked like a charm. It probably did not work for my test because I edited out before a second question was posted on the site.
 
cv-pls stackoverflow.com/q/24817310/1699210 maybe I should rollback my older Edit before, still collection comercials?
 
too broad?
 
@JanDvorak asking me? I could rollback and it would be recommendation ...
 
Then you'd invalidate my NAA flags
 
I think that would mark them helpful
or maybe disputed, can't remember
 
2:25 PM
mhhhh ... I'm out of votes anyway, I think to broad might fit as well
 
reference?
 
just get it closed
ufff ....

^ deleted by author
Thoughts on the quality of this? stackoverflow.com/q/27904303/656243
Feels too broad/pls-send-teh-codez ...
There are two types of answers that the OP could be asking for: (1) give me pseudocode/algorithm or (2) hand me some working code. Either way, there's no effort demonstrated towards or partial (non-working) approach.
I thought comment filters were introduced to guard against putting a comment up like 'what have you tried?'
no?
 
@PatrickHofman I don't think I agree with you that he's looking for a tool/lib/off-site res.
@PatrickHofman I think the OP's just asking for working code.
 
@LynnCrumbling: "some source website and sample coding"
Then he needs to access the SDK page. We are not a sample library.
 
@PatrickHofman Yeah - it's a cv no doubt...
cv'd unclear ...
@Vogel612'sShadow Aww, that was kind.
 
I know ;)
Can't help it... 2 clicks...
 
2:49 PM
@LynnCrumbling OP needs to get more clear on what his problem is...
 
numerous karma points to you
 
Yaaaay, Karma Points!
 
Free karma points?
Is there some EXP too?
 
@Undo have you tried breaking that pile of sandstone there the corner?
 
@bummi done
 
thx :)
 
@Undo ask @Unihedro, he can confirm that block should be dropping EXP, just be on the lookout for some green orbs...
 
@LynnCrumbling You voted to close this question Oct 20 '14 at 8:23 :(
 
2:57 PM
Hah.
Schade.

did you see the user that was constantly posting "http://vrest.io/" as his answer?
Three of his last four answers.
Would this be considered spam?
 
The questions as for it. Close them

@Bart I think I've already cv'd-tools all three; double-checking.
 
The consistent upvotes worry me more
 
^ that's the one from earlier.
 
@LynnCrumbling I left a comment....
 
@LynnCrumbling 9 / 19 I raised to many OTHER flags, maybe someone else want's too
 
Same here, left a comment
 
@LynnCrumbling nearly any question with answers pointing to "http://vrest.io/" should be closed (OT or to broad as far as I can see), and the problem would be solved.
 
Yay I can (help) delete (some) crap now! :D
 
@Undo ooh, >10k. Congrats
 
Well.. I've gone about as far as I want with this guy.
Right. You'll need to sort them into lists, and nested lists.. maybe even three levels deep. Your first level is by year. Within that list, maintain a list of year+month. Within that list, maintain a list of year+month+day. Once you're done expanding the file list into this hierarchy, walk through each list recursively, and build a tree with nodes. — Lynn Crumbling 1 min ago
@Bart claps
sigh... some day.
although.. at this point I'm avg'ing 30 pts / month.. so if we extrapolate that out.. I'll be a 10k'er in 12 years.
woohoo!
@bummi So .. that looks like 6 answers, then: stackoverflow.com/search?q=vrest.io
 
@LynnCrumbling yes, look as if I opened some twice, sorry :(
 
3:18 PM
I don't think this question is asking for a tools-rec, though: stackoverflow.com/q/26379445/656243
The user sort of spun the question to be answered as "try this service instead"
 
@LynnCrumbling agreed, this is the one where I would flag for spam( if I would )
 
@bummi Ok, I submitted a mod flag on that answer and cited http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=vrest.io in my description.
