Ok...

but be aware, it could be "is just not possible"

@Braiam How would that be? I assume Windows XP remains Windows XP?

Even if it is virtualized?

Why do I have to support crap...

I wanted to crop out the colors in time, but MS Paint won't load quick enough... And the stars CSS sprite is insanely obfuscated... ;-;

3:05 PM

@rene I always assumed that when the snow will start to fall @DroidDev will just crawl in one dark corner of Shadow Den and sleep until spring comes. Not the case??

rene

@SPArchaeologist I think that is true that is why I wondered...

SPArchaeologist

@rene Then I officially propose that we donate acorns instead of repz. Squirrels love them, maybe he will too.

@nicael I said, it might break when the message reaches thousands, as it shows as "1000 000 000"

nicael

@Unihedron prove!

Unihedron

Get bart's socks at work to star that message and you'll see

nicael

@Unihedron I, of course, has a number of mine, but it will be difficult anyway to plant 1000 socks...

Unihedron

Yep, and 20 rep each..

It's for science!

Or, you know, we can try to mimic a DOM event with that value...

Negative, I get "undefined is not a function". I suck at this. xD

Braiam

4:49 PM

wait, can't any user just star things from the transcript? does it really need the 20 rep?

Unihedron

@Braiam I tried on my alt account. If you don't have chat permissions, it gives "You do not have enough reputation to star this message".
