Nice. That's a fun idea.

I don't mean to be a jerk... but you missed a space ;)

Wait... Is "Pops" the same person as "By popular demand"?

@Seth Haha, if nobody tells me... This keyboard sucks. I miss spaces a lot.

status-completed

@animuson lol. That's a bad key to be missing...

Though I guess there isn't a "good" key to be missing. or not working

2:49 AM

@Seth Yes, Popular Demand changed his username when he got hired.

@jadarnel27 Oh cool. Was there ever and official blog post about that?

Or at least an article in the evening paper?

I don't believe they've posted about it yet. We were informed by Anna editing him into the list of community managers in the Meta FAQ.

:o Another missing space.

oh the faq I should have known.

@Seth Props on living somewhere that still has an evening paper!

I didn't even know that was a thing.

Why would one need more than one paper in a day?

Because one lives in the year 1924 and can't turn on a 24-hour news network.

3:26 AM

Why would anyone do that?

Seems like a lame when to live.

On the other hand, so is this. The singularity is near, haven't you heard?

Which one?

Technological singularity

The technological singularity, or simply the singularity, is a theoretical point in time when human technology (and, particularly, technological intelligence) will have so rapidly progressed that, ultimately, a greater-than-human intelligence will emerge, which will "radically change human civilization, and perhaps even human nature itself." Since the capabilities of such an intelligence may be difficult for an unaided human mind to comprehend, the technological singularity is often seen as an occurrence (akin to a gravitational singularity) beyond which—from the perspective of the present...

Ohhh. That one.

I'm sure that will all be fine.

I dislike that I have an entire Social Networking list and only one link to put there. xP

Not something I ever planned on saying in my life.

Can someone take a look at stackoverflow.com/questions/15749198/…? 2 different users with rep 1 give the exact same answer. Something is going on there ...

While I am here, anyone like this idea ... When doing audit reviews, only inform the reviewer if they got it wrong. If they get one of these audit reviews right, just act like it was another review.

@demongolem Several of the queues actually did work like that before. People complained because when they clicked something it automatically skipped to the next review without actually giving them any confirmation of what happened. It was rather confusing. So now you always get a message.

Hi again all. I am having trouble editing a particular answer to a particular question. The link is stackoverflow.com/questions/18457178/…. Is this a case where there is too much something on a page whether it be content or marked-up content or something? I have never seen a case where a page is too large is to edit.

In this case, the answer needs some non-code text removed from the code block.

@demongolem What do you mean it's too large to edit?

The answer has been deleted now .... but there was an error saving the edit and it wouldn't let me save it. A pretty generic error message. I tried it like 10 times over a long period of time. All my other actions succeed.

Do you know what exactly the error message said?

Um .. no sorry I don't remember the exact wording. I was thinking maybe because I was editing a very very large code block, that was the culprit. But I can't duplicate anymore because the answer has been removed.
