I wonder if we put isaac newton, Nikola Tesla & Albert Einstein through the same education, then gave them the same examination in Maths and Physics, who will get better mark?

They'd all get zeros since they're dead.

Still having a little bit of fun on SO? Argh. Fun is forbidden.

Stijn

The real question is not "are people capable of reading a manual", but "should enterprise software respond to standard exit sequences" like, I don't know, "exit"? Having to read the manual to quit seems seriously counter-intuitive. — Kheldar Feb 20 '14 at 14:39

The door crashes open... Snow driven by howling winds whips into the interior from the grey winter barren beyond. A lone figure in heavy furs limps in, struggles to close the door against the gale, and collapses as it closes. The form is shrouded in the returning dark, his outline barely illuminated by fireplace coals that lay smoldering across the cabin. A face appears in the dark, illuminated by the glow of an old, battered Lumia Icon. His face is weary, and shows advanced aging caused by hardship and heart break. The man looks at the small group gathered in the cabin. @Stijn Four. — Will 3 mins ago

Q: Official Stack Exchange application for Windows Phone OS

I have recently seen your official application on Google Play. And it is really nice and useful. Do you plan application for Windows Phone(7.8, 8) ? Update: Also, after reading most of your comments and answers, we can see that the main reason in your opinion is "smaller audience" of WindowsPh...

I still remember this...

Pandya

@Bart Hi!

Bart

Pandya

what do you mean by "person of few words"?

Bart

You posted an empty chat message, so I referred to this expression: idioms.thefreedictionary.com/a+man+of+few+words

tl;dr I'm hilarious

From the comments it seems that user has been rather pushy

@zaq reminds me of a user who linked to an anti-SO blog that was not his, but suspiciously posted about events that involved him ... but it was not his ... nor did he write any of it ... no really

Keeping up with the elections... voting phase at Salesforce and Christianity, nomination phase at Raspberry Pi and Mi Yodeya, question collection phase at Mathematica and The Workplace. Phew.

I thought it's the quiet season

@Bart You're a joke

user315433

Not sure if I want to participate in TWP even by editing...

@zaq I don't remember its questions anymore, but all of them are like ''should I quit because I'm a wuss'', no?

user347575

heh - random downvote on both Physics and SO (probably by the same person who failed to force me to do his will - no way to prove it of course)...lol

user347575

9:17 PM

maybe I caused someone to lose their keys ;)

rene

Yeah, when I lose my keys I normally do network-wide

user347575

such is your power @rene

user347575

had a member get all cranky at me because I would not add in to my answer something he wanted (even though it was irrelevant to the question

user347575

I did not engage them in comments, and meh

user347575

lol

rene

9:23 PM

Yeah, don't make me angry or I close vote all your questions

user347575

LOL

user347575

oh no!

user347575

this question - stackoverflow.com/q/38789670/6613600 - my 1st on the site

user347575

but that question is not that bad is it, @rene?

user347575

hello @Bart

user347575

9:33 PM

I made someone lose their keys!!

user347575

or is my question bad?

rene

@Doc not that bad ... but I'm biased because I see a lot of crap. I do notice it is weird indented ... oh wait ... it is Python ...

user347575

@rene LOL

user347575

so a not-bad question in a sea of crap - that's actually very good!

user347575

@rene that's the one that got key-lost-downvoted

rene

9:46 PM

+1/-1 still in the plus. Be happy

user347575

@rene at +2 for an accepted answer - very happy indeed

user347575

user347575

i have another possible SO question, but not sure how to word it

user347575

10:13 PM

am somewhat tempted to start the question with 'Once upon a time..."

rene

prepares for down voting

user347575

lol - tempted, but not that silly

user347575

not yet anyway

rene

Or close vote: off-topic, we are not sci-fi.se

user347575

@rene be assured, it was just a mere temptation

rene

10:17 PM

My funniest answers had to be rescued in the comments due to users being offended

user347575

currently, the question is at the stage of me knowing what I want to ask, the MVCE ready - but not sure how to put it together so it makes sense and won't get the 'writing advice' comments, rather than the desired answer

rene

did you use the checklist: meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/260648/… ?

user347575

yup, still struggling

rene

good

user347575

I am thinking that it may be not worth posting - and I'll figure it out

user347575

10:31 PM

I sort of know the answer to it

user347575

there is no point posting something that is not totally clear

user347575

and my contribution record is... well... kind of sad

user347575

- which is why I stopped answering/asking, not keen on being banned (for low quality)

user347575

hi @balpha

user347575

10:51 PM

well, anyway.... I'll figure out the answer

user315433

When Triage consensus is Looks OK, do "duplicate" flags end up being disputed? Should they?

user315433

IMO "Looks OK" does not imply "not a duplicate".

user315433

> I don't know where I have to write my codes!

user315433

That's an easy one to answer...
