@BlueIce Maybe you've got a better handle than I do on the reasons. :) Very often I feel that question that say very little (like this one) are hitting multiple close reasons.
Description:
I noticed some strange behavior when you have a really slow internet connection and you click the "flag" button on questions and answers more than once.
At first, a single "loading" throbber appears next to the "flag" button. But if the internet is slow, and you click the "flag" bu...
@LaszloPapp By the way, sometimes mods disagree on the "link only" thing; I've found 100% success if I flag link-only answers with custom flags and leave the detail message: Not an answer. Undesirable link only as per meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/225370/….
Hey @animuson, just out of curiosity, did the close vote queue slow down / did complaints about it slow down since the count was fuzzied? It's something I was really pushing for, too, curious if it actually worked.
It's so sad, that you worked so hard, and drew those circles, and then it was a duplicate, and all you wanted to do was try and help, and then... and then... :'''(
So if I downvote every single one of a user's questions, not because I dislike him, but because every one of his questions independently sucks, will I get automatically flagged for some sort of serial downvoting?
I really want to write a Q&A style "How to do everything with Scanner" that I can start linking all these stream parsing questions too. I just don't know what the Q should be. I want to cover newlines being left after next(), InputMismatchExceptions, tokens being left on the stream after nextXXX() failures (and the infinite loops that follow), and all the other gotchas that people keep asking about.
Sounds kinda fun actually. I love digging around through data like that.
"Sure, I'll totally give you all 5 seasons of Adventure Time, I have them downloaded, no problem." -> Realize I have nothing to copy data to. -> Run around on Sunday looking for an electronics shop that's actually open to buy a thumb drive. -> Crap, I forgot to check how much space I need, 4GB will be enough but I better be safe with 8GB. -> Run home. -> 10.5GB. :''( Keeping promises sucks.
Hi, I am curious. I edited many posts but recently I realized that they are gone and my reputation decreases. I have not written any stats so I cannot figure out if review stats were decreased as well. It is hard to achieve Strunk and white badge, if somebody deletes my edits.
This link does contain undo for deleted edits. For example today: -2 7 hours ago removed Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01747: spécification utilisateur.table.colonne, table.colonne ou colonne non valide
@Leos You lose all reputation from suggested edits when a post is deleted. Similarly, you lose reputation gained/lost from upvotes/downvotes when a post is deleted.

@JanDvorak @ping Sorry for the late reply - my flag was ultimately declined. Quote: "declined - This user copy/pasted this answer to a dozen questions to promote their library."
This is definitely the most irritating aspect of an otherwise excellent service:
As of 6/4/14:
No Italics:
*app/controllers/users_controller.rb*
Italics:
app/models/user.rb
Why? Because there's an underscore in the first path? This is a bug, right?
I am in my first class of Java programming and one of the assignments we were given was to create a value string which displays in reverse order separated by commas. I know I am probably missing something very simple, but after hours of trying I just don't know where I am going wrong?
My code wo...
I'm searching about any paper or book about weak scaling,
because I am looking for straightforward way to measure 'weak scalation' of our parallel algorithm O(N).
The algorithm haven't single processes solution and we need at least 8 concurrent processes to solve the least instance of problem.

@BlueIce Look ^, all that guy wanted to do is ask a question, he was just trying to get his code working, then he got 12 downvotes, then he gave up. It's just... so sad... it's all so sad, everything is sad... :''''(
@Bart Haha, I see the indentation was keeping you awake at night as well.
@Bart Partially my doing; I flagged the whole side-conversation as not constructive. Nothing personal, it just wasn't directly related to the problem and didn't seem to be going anywhere (plus I think the OP got the point).
@user13500 Yeah that one got ganged up on pretty hard, haha.
A cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG) is a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) with properties that make it suitable for use in cryptography.
Many aspects of cryptography require random numbers, for example:
* key generation
* nonces
* one-time pads
* salts in certain signature schemes, including ECDSA, RSASSA-PSS
The "quality" of the randomness required for these applications varies.
For example creating a nonce in some protocols needs only uniqueness.
On the other hand, generation of a master key requires a higher quality, such as more entropy. And in the...
