Br0wncoats unite!

Brown.

F rown

Drown!

I'm sorry, I may have overreacted.

Hail to the crown!

And just to make everyone uncomfortable:

Flown.

That's worse than bad kerning.

Do I want to look up the definition of that?

3:14 AM

@mootinator It hurt me a little to type it.

@animuson Don't bother.

Because we have this!

I have never been as self-conscious about my handwriting as when I was inking in the caption for this comic.

I hated bad kerning when hating bad kerning was still underground.

Bah! I set up my bootable flash incorrectly. That is the problem here.

@jadarnel when you have the thingy working, I'm curious to hear more.

Oh, @lix, what's with Gaza atm?

@Moshe Sure thing, man =) I'm going to have access to a Mac again tomorrow to redo that flash drive and try again.

Proper use cases for Android UserManager.isUserAGoat() is the leetsest question.

@JeremyBanks Ugh, someone seriously asked about that? |:

Where would I ask about networks. Superuser faq says not network.

Corporate networks and whatnot would be Server Fault probably, @Wes.

Okay thanks

Home network questions I would expect to be okay on SU, but I haven't read their FAQ very carefully, apparently.

No its corperate network with intermittent downtime.

So I think server fault would be correct

3:10 PM

Oh, good then. And you're welcome! Glad to help.

Most of the time, I can't tell if GEOCHET is being serious, being sarcastic, or just exaggerating for effect.

@jadarnel27 yes

@Shog9 wheres the discussion on userIsAGoat question

Why does it keep getting protected unprotected etc

Q: Very popular answer deleted

A number of answers for the question Proper Use cases for Android UserManager.isAGoat() were deleted, such as this one by casperOne. (I'm not sure who is responsible for the deletions of the other answers which where popular and I feel should have stayed) I feel that this is an inappropriate a...

Q: What can we do to quell over-moderation on SO?

It frustrates me how often I run into threads like Proper use cases for Android UserManager.isUserAGoat() which have more deleted posts than non-deleted posts. In this case, some of them are perfectly coherent and provide information that was not provided by any other posts when they were deleted...

thanks

> I forgot why I asked you to do this. Can you remind me?

/facepalm

@Shog9 Heh, good answer =)

3:49 PM

@Shog9 would one of those questions be a good place to register my distaste for the question itself?

@Wes Eh; go ahead and kick off a new question.

@TimStone I think you misunderstand... nobody is joking when they say MSO feeds directly into your brain :-) — The Unhandled Exception 6 mins ago

I was beginning to wonder where these wires were going...

Someone ought to migrate that to 3G or something.

I agree, very inconvenient.

What are these "wires" you speak of?

Are those the things that used to run from my parent's VCR to the CRT television?

Someone get a moist towel, @jadarnel27 is speaking in tongues.

VCR, CRT???

You might as well make up words like "phonograph".

I wonder how long it will take for my daughter to realize that, despite the fact it's full of colourful balls to swim in, she's really just stuck in a playpen so I can work.

5:54 PM

Depends, how old is she?

Two.

She's moved on to throwing balls everywhere and asking me to pick them up though.

I got a good morning out of the deal.

I was gonna guess an hour, hour and a half, and then she falls asleep.

She doesn't fall asleep.

Ever.

Hahaha

@jadarnel27 I was thinking of asking this, but was afraid the answer would be "fourteen."

Mark Trapp is gone? :(

Well, from Programmers.

Hm, his MSO profile box says "No longer here." He was "seen" eight hours ago, though.

It's a misdirection :P

You're a misdirection!

Your mom's a misdirection!

KA-BUUUURN!

Q: How to discourage joke questions

@Shog9 Done

The recient goat example in my opinion is an example of a question though properly formatted should have been blocked much earlier. I know the question in some manner has been beneficial to the stack overflow community but the question and some of the answers could be percieved as just a way to ...

discussion humor

TBH Q&A isn't a good format for what I wanted to put in that.

Hrumph.

I'm going to go make lunch now.

Which, incidentally, involves chopping an onion with a bandsaw.

how do i calculate what my net rep was for given transactions. is there any easy way to do that

9:05 PM

@Wes What is a "transaction"?

Can you give an example of a "transaction", @Wes? You mean your net rep for a particular post?

Wow, really @PopularDemand? We both wait 20 minutes to respond at the same time haha.

The same second, even. Creepy.

Ohboy.

9:25 PM

sorry by transaction i meant question answer edit etc

I like the instructions for accessing a repository I got.

Rather than just copy my public key into the git server, I was told to use su to find an account with no passphrase on their private key which already has access.

Popular Demand and I are same-time brothers now.

I'm not sure how to interpret that, which is why it gets an awkward star.

As intended =)

Awkward stars are the best kind of stars anyway.
