And when the Humble Bundle a few weeks back included Age of Empires legacy bundle (which I wanted), I bought it the day before the Microsoft sale occured
which dropped the price of that particular game below that which I paid for the complete bundle
I just ate an entire medium pepperoni pizza for dinner and my roommate started lecturing me on how I'm gonna die in my 30s.
Does eating fatty and sugary foods make your life any shorter?
I've read somewhere that the bad handwriting is due to the very large number of notes that needs to be taken during the education. — Thorbjørn Ravn AndersenJun 19 '11 at 21:01
The same person closed it after revision 3 @Andy, and reopened it now. The only difference between the two revisions is Shog9's note. The note seems to have changed his opinion about the post.
For the third time now in a short period, there's a close/reopen war on a featured MSO question. When it's closed, it disappears from the sidebar.
Seems like a relatively simple check to add so this silliness can be stopped once and for all.
It's obvious that members of the community are expressing their opinion by taking this action. Once you vote to close a post, you can not vote to close it again. So that means 20 different users voted to close that most recent featured post. Stifling their use of the system as it was intended is ...
Any kind of decision, let's say admin privs, can any contributor jump in and grant admin privs to anybody? Generally we respect the owner's choice because they bear the cost of mantainence. I was just giving you an example, so that you can understand why community's arguments opposing the posts isn't justified.
@InfiniteRecursion Frankly any administration of a project whom is sane enough to maintain the project and keep it running wouldn't go nuts and throw permissions to everyone and give chances for the code to be vandalized.
I was just giving you a parallel to think about, since you are fimiliar with open source concepts, and strangely think that community's opposition is valid. Open for all doesn't mean owned by all.
We are contributers here, not owners. Pretty similar.
@InfiniteRecursion It's a meta post about a job position directly concerning the stack exchange network. 1) It's their system, they can do whatever they want, but 2) It's on-topic. I'm more confused why they wouldn't flag it with some sort of specially sticky flag that designates that it's not eligible for closing.
Ok,.. using the guest analogy... It's one thing for a guest to be able to select which hors d'oeuvre they prefer the most. It's another for the guest to pick up the entire plate of hors d'oeuvre and throw it in the trash.
@Unihedron Then the host may want to save it, to return it to the store from which it was purchased to get store credit? (I know, this is getting a little off-topic... it's still not the guest's decision to make with regard to throwing it out.)
Still, a polite host doesn't shut the door on the aggressive guest. How we behave reflects our morals. No matter what the person in front of us does, you conduct yourself gracefully. That's what SE seems to be doing. Frankly, devs can disable close anytime, or just reopen with a click instead of waiting for 5 community members to reopen, but their politeness is inspiring.
Cool :) I've heard of it from a friend of mine, she was an eccentric character so I didn't pay too much attention on the convo, but I could had sworn I heard of pottermore somewhere :P
I love how in this whole "Spanish SO" debate the entire argument switches from the usual "everybody keeps posting the same old tired duplicates all the time" to "oh my god, but what if we lose all those users with all their unique questions we now won't have on SO?".
A recent question on Meta.StackOverflow makes me question the practice of scrubbing comments from audits.*
The user in question was presented with a poorly formatted but decent answer. There was only a hint something was wrong ("Solved the problem for me." at the bottom), but that hint would on...
I can complain because someone only starred my smiley. That is target starring. Your stars were part of the train, next time you can avoid trains and escape stars, but how can I escape @Frank?
@InfiniteRecursion 4 people starred your smiley. Maybe it looked awesome or something. I wonder if your next smiley will get starred. They don't all, you know.
Here you go:
I've made multiple improvements to the tab autocompleter:
The autocompleter now shows avatars.
The autocompleter now shows the user name including spaces (small change, but it looks nicer). The actually inserted name will still be stripped of spaces, of course.
