Sometimes I feel like you two should have a special workflow, where animuson hands over his handling-flag power to Undo for an hour, but has a giant red button where he can stop Undo at any time and undo the last 2 minutes of work. And give him an electric shock (that'll teach him!)
Background
There was a meta question over at The Workplace which had me wading through a lot of closed questions. Every closed question has a nice box like this that shows who closed it:
After a few dozen questions, I saw clear trends on how people were voting, and thought to myself, "Wouldn'...
@Undo I think I am going to lodge a formal protest with the UN. I'm sure they have some declaration of asker rights in regards to Stack Exchange. Perhaps I can get the security council to issue a statement that Undo is a naughty editor trying to impose his will on neighboring questions.
@Duncan That would definitely be the pinnacle of awesome. I would resign from my job in red comic sans, but I'm afraid people would enjoy it too much. Design is not the forte of the Japanese office.
The Spanish brought the concept of caching with them. At first the Mayans were amazed and used it to speed up human sacrifices and so on. But eventually it got the better of them and their civilization collapsed. Easily done.
Just recently, my Eclipse installation has stopped reliably displaying Javadoc information for any of the classes in rt.jar. Neither the hover-over documentation, nor the content assist are able to display Javadoc for any non-local types. The issue is sporadic, with the Javadocs sometimes working...
@balpha: as for the realtime update fix; if I use the mouse to click on the 'x new question(s) with new activity' link, keyboard navigation does not include the newly loaded posts still.
Is it right for a meta question to be closed because it requests a new feature that is a subset of a wider range of features mentioned in another question? I guess the answer is yes, but I can't help thinking that a feature on its own might be more likely to be implemented.
The feature requests are only there to amuse developers like @Oded, @Duncan. If you listen closely, each time one is posted you can hear him say "Look at that, how cute. They still think they can influence something".
I'm making a mockup for this, and I need an example of the source HTML for a comment flag. Anonymize it, whatever, but I'd like to have it to work off of.
