It is confusing to not show the reputation change on your Recent Activity page just because it is negative -- for example, due to casting a large bounty.
If nothing is shown, one is led to believe there was no change at all. If today's (or this week's, or even this month's) net result is -68 rep...
Now that Community Wiki is dead (long live Community Wiki!), I understand that there is some concern that code golf questions would be nothing more than rep farms on Stack Overflow.
The basis for that sentiment is that they really don't help anyone, so why should anyone get rep for the question...
I don't support this, but in the interest of completeness, note that the FAQ says code golf does belong here.

It's true. For all the noise that 3-4 users make on meta.P.SE, the vast, vast majority of P.SE users just ask and answer what they feel like without regard to what a tiny minority of Meta users decide.
It's almost as though no one bothered to learn from SU...
What if I hide the GPL code inside an application, if someone finds out, what would happen to me?
Edit:
Now, I know I could be put to the court. I'll convince a friend to register and distribute using his name. I will try to prepare by erasing any evidence I am the actual developer should someo...
didn't realize i had until after development completed. it only affected something in the 'admin' area, so i'm counting on the fact that our client doesn't get hired by the license holder
@PopularDemand Find his school, find his teacher, hand his assignment in while screaming, "HERE'S JOHNNY'S CODE, I DID IT FOR HIM SINCE HE'S TOO LAZY TO DO IT HIMSELF!"
Yes, X NAND 1 is like X NAND Y with Y fixed as 1. The thing you're comparing X with doesn't have to be called Y; it can be any variable, any constant or the result of another comparison. All that matters is whether the value is a 0 or a 1, in the end.
Example:
X | Y | 1 | X OR Y

@PopularDemand Definite +1 for the effort. Helping people like that is difficult, heh. I'm sure if he actually read what you wrote and thought about it for a bit he'd get it, but he seems stuck in his belief that he's incapable of figuring it out.
(in other words, Pops... It's time to recommend a good book and move on. He seems to have at best a tenuous grasp of basic algebra, and everything you're saying is beyond him)
@Shog9 @PopularDemand: I second this, I really don't see what else you can do, unless you have plans of becoming a professor any time soon and want to enroll him in your class.
@PopularDemand Well, if you want to take the time to write an in-depth introduction to expressions, operations, and truth tables... Step him through each one in turn, with plenty of examples and plain language... and hang around to revise it in response to every single follow-up question... Then more power to you. But...
You do not need jQuery to do this...
function sortUnorderedList(ul, sortDescending) {
if(typeof ul == "string")
ul = document.getElementById(ul);
// Idiot-proof, remove if you want
if(!ul) {
alert("The UL object is null!");
return;
}
// Get the list items and setup an arr...
That's just getting stupid. Do I flag the answer, or the comments individually, or what?
I am getting sick and tired of a**holes like Stefan Kendall who come to old resolved questions and comment on my accepted answers telling me how terrible the code is. If it was so terrible, why is it up-voted ten times and accepted at the answer?!
The problem I am having is I get the same 5 numbers in all 5 different boxes.

using System.Windows.Forms;

I must check approximately 1000 numbers against 1000 other numbers.
I loaded both and compared them server-side:
foreach( $numbers1 as $n1 ) {
foreach( $numbers2 as $n2 ) {
if( $n1 == $n2 ) {
doBla();
}
}
}
