Nice score for posting less than 50 chars^

Only answer too, and over 15,000 rep.

user259867

Quite possibly, the highest-reputation unregistered user on the network. Not easy to search among those, so I'm not sure.

Frank

@justabrickinthewall Ha, yeah.

user259867

Highest answer score per character on GL:

A: What are the best conditions for basil?

Additional to the other answers, basil famously doesn't like to be damp overnight. Water mornings, not evenings.

user259867

On SO, the edit-incorrect-commit answer is 14th in score per length. The winner is:

A: Get selected text from drop down list (select box) using jQuery

$("#yourdropdownid option:selected").text();

Frank

Huh.

user259867

Oh, and on Math it's the legendary answer by Did. Does not onebox correctly, b/c no MathJax here.

@justabrickinthewall I hate how the "bikeshed" answers & questions always get so many upvotes.

bjb568

^^ Yay, I figured out markdown parsering

user259867

10:19 PM

Is there a fiddle for us to break this parser?

bjb568

@justabrickinthewall Make one.

(note that it requires * for bold and _ for italic, only inline features)

hichris123

@justabrickinthewall Can you change your name back plz? So confused... :/

user259867

To which one? I am as confused as you are.

user259867

in Mathematics on The Stack Exchange Network Chat, yesterday, by Committing to a challenge

@wordsthatendinGRY Did you take that name from "user147263, wordsthatendinGRY, This is much healthier, 900-sit ups a day, Thursday, Care bear, Weapon of Choice"

bjb568

Just go back to care bear.

> yeah, see my edit - change select * to select RESULT.* one row

user259867

Breaks the parser, of course. Example from Atwood's blog.

user259867

Renders as "yeah, see my edit - change select to select RESULT. one row "

Frank

@bjb568 That's boring.

bjb568

@justabrickinthewall Escape it.

(by design for my flavor, I want things to be exact, not assumed)

(tho front-end warnings could be a thing)

Anyway, GTG now…

user259867

10:34 PM

Escaping with backslashes did not change anything.

Frank

@bjb568 Cya later!

@justabrickinthewall Your next name should be George.

Frank

you do know you can change your name and avatar at the same time & pretend to be a mod/SE employee. when questioned why you don't have the diamond or your rep is so very different, say there is a new feature on SE that allows the off duty staff to be like normal users </troll troll troll>
