@Braiam Yeah, I see that every 1 out of 3 page loads or so.
@TimStone Thought you might like to know that Get Off My Lawn! comes out tomorrow. ;)
where is the "less ads" privilege?
@Braiam Reduce Ads is at 200 reputation
user259867
@Rafflesiaarnoldii where is the reference to sites with ads?
user259867
12:07 AM
I took that info from "advertise" page. This list of site is no longer there: only the trilogy is mentioned.
user259867
I assumed that the plan did not work out and was dropped from the advertising options. Apparently, this is not the case.
user259867
Too bad I did not take a screenshot of the page back then.
user259867
Drupal's privilege list says nothing about 200-rep reduced advertising.
exactly why I was confused
can't do screenshots on my phone... but that's funny.

user259867
Well, this is not pertinent to that question, which was specifically about Math.SE. Math does not have ads, and apparently there are no plans to introduce them.
user259867
But it seems we have material for a Meta.SE question now... which sites carry ads?
user259867
12:16 AM
(Also, editing the post now to include most likely outdated information would be odd. Yes, Drupal has ads, but we've no idea if other sites remain in the ad program.)
12:33 AM
@cVplZ Wow, didn't realize you had cast over 10k dvs on SO.
Man
I hate it when a question looks intelligent, and you put effort into a decent answer, then the OP comes back with some retarded question and you realize it was all for nothing.

This is what kills my motivation to answer SO questions.
@JasonC :(
That and seeing these stupid questions with obvious answers that get like 200 upvotes in a day.
@JasonC Are you talking about my first mortarboard and populist?
12:39 AM
@JasonC You should learn to see which simple questions have potential to go hot, and answer them.
@JanDvorak Haha, I dunno, your first 200 rep day looks pretty solid to me
@Frank I'm such a bad judge of that, I've reflected on that before, lol
My judgment is always the exact opposite. Except when I assume my judgment is the opposite and do the opposite; then it turns out I would have had it right.

Reduction of hexavalent chromium using fungi and bacteria isolated from contaminated soil and water samples
>
The reductive adsorption of hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) using six indigenous microorganisms isolated from contaminated soil and water samples was investigated. Quantification of Cr6+ reduction was deter- mined using the 1,5-diphenylcarbazide method followed measuring the absorbance at OD540. Bacterial isolates identified as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus firmus and Mycobacterium sp. were capable of absorbing Cr6+ efficiently into their biomass, whereas the fungal isolates, Aspergi

Sounds interesting.
@JasonC SO is too big for that anyway. When there's a hot question on GL, chances are I've answered it, as I've been answering over 50% of new content there.

Found an ad on AU, edited into @Braiam's post on meta.
user259867
12:44 AM
Now hoping it's not from some adware on my computer; how embarrassing that would be. happened to others
@JasonC Yay, ok. That's the paper.
@rtruszk How does the specific question have to do at all with project euler? Assuming the question isn't a strait-up quote of project euler (as that wouldn't be on topic for SO and the focus would then be to close and delete rather that apply extremely minor edits), it will be a smaller subset of the problem likely (and if not, we don't especially care about it as it won't benefit the community) relating to many other similar (and not) problems in which case project euler is utterly irrelevant to the core of the question. — bjb568 35 secs ago

So, Game Dev and Web Apps also carry ads. This seems to be all, as far as that Wayback list is concerned. Still odd that SE removed the list of sites from mediakit page while putting the ads online.

Step 1: make 12 suggested edits on every SE site. Step 2: downvote 40*130 = 5200 questions daily. Actually, this would not work: most sites don't get 40 new questions per day.

Yeah, I'm quite amazed by the votes on that post
Those who are opposed aren't exactly vocal about it which is strange.

@bjb568 Welp. Someone's not supporting Stack Exchange.
(I actually voted unclear but wish I could change; I cast my vote before his comment about the compiler error.)
user259867
@hichris123 It's a negotiation tactic. Won't unblock ads until you let me review more!
Huh; I didn't know Remy Lebeau was active on SO. He was a staple on the Borland/Embarcadero forums in my RAD Studio days (some of the darker days of my life). I like running into people on SO I've seen before.
pcpartpicker.com/p/gMCMmG - thoughts on my configuration so far? (yes, this again)
@hichris123 Why don't you get a hybrid drive?
3:04 AM
@JasonC I don't really see a point in it -- use the SSD for Windows & a little bit of other stuff, use the 1 TB for everything else.
Sure; although if you leave it up to the drive to figure out what it wants to put on the SSD half, you get the bonus of e.g. uncommonly accessed windows system files not taking up space on the SSD but commonly accessed program files being placed there instead.
eh, true. Though with a hybrid, you don't get the whole speed boost that you get with an SSD.
Yeah; that's the balance I guess; average access times hybrid vs. windows ssd + everything else hd. Er I'm too tired to make sentence of a sense making type for.
Or splurge and get a 1tb samsung 840 evo.
@JasonC How much is that? $400?
@hichris123 Yeah roughly. I've had one in my laptop about 6 months, it's been rock solid so far.
I don't know if new more competitive drives have come out since, I haven't followed it.
3:12 AM
@hichris123 that memory GB per buck is a bit pricey
@Braiam RAM or hard drive?
@hichris123 RAM. Are you into games?
@hichris123 You can save a few bucks on the case, too:
@Braiam Not super intensive games, more casual. But I would like to have 16 GB for... uh... compiling certain programs (cough chromium cough) and perhaps editing videos.
@JasonC xD

> latency is more important for non-linear applications like compiling code
you should look for low latency rather than raw speed
It is a 9 CAS.
also the SSD may help
Ah, the sweet sound of a cat making a hairball drifts in from a distant room.
meh, maybe I'm too serious trying to get more-per-buck
didn't found better deal for the ram that had that many reviews
@Rafflesiaarnoldii `Score: -2
3:27 AM
@Braiam It seemed pricey to me too, but I guess RAM is just a little on the expensive side.
Probably because we're talking about 16 GB & not 8 GB.

Yes, SO tends to have these scrappy little companies/individuals looking for questions that might or might not be solvable with their product, whatever it is.

I believe that StackOverflow is intended to enhance our knowldege,but at the same time some people giving answers to some queries are not enhancing the knowledge but just giving the solutions to the problem(or say short cuts but not efficient way).As these solutions make the OP's code run(the way he/seh wants),so they accept them as answers. But there are other correct and efficient ways by which the problem can be solved. I have seen this happening a lot on StackOverflow. — nobalG 11 mins ago

@SilentKiller I usually just press space bar four times, then copy all the spaces. Then paste them wherever needed.

@DroidDev did same. but sad thing is OP has 8.4k repo and still this kind of format. :/

@SilentKiller Umm, not sure... just there are some typos, but not too critical
@SilentKiller people here are very dedicated towards community. But, then again, when I look at posts from Jeff himself and the lack of corporatedness in his answers, I wonder, why is that missing from the members that succeeded him.

7:22 AM
@DroidDev nothing is really missing, maybe no one is so verbose about it anymore because the volume of stuff that needs cleaning has increased massively over time, e.g drupal.se didn't exist when those posts were written, so everyone is busy cleaning up ;)
I don't cv dupes, not enough domain knowledge in android
i am sure about this. @inf that it is dup'
@InfiniteRecursion yes, everyone is busy/dedicated towards making a better community. I said that. I talked about corporatedness because of some other incidents(I don't have the link now), where a reply from someone from inside the SE was needed and it wasn't there. Instead, some other high rep, experienced user replied with a perhaps this might be the reason answer.

Hi all
Can I create a room to hangout with colleagues ?
the room will be for casual chat and frequent about technical discussions too
I can ofcourse create a room, but I just want to make sure whether I am breaking any rule or not
I will ask a question on meta.SE after 5 mins if I don't get response here :)
@Mr_Green I don't think many people are around right now. MSE might be the place
ok thanks
7:45 AM
@Mr_Green I can't say for general case, but seeing there are other rooms that are not really related to SE, probably it's safe to do that.
@AndrewT. thanks.. but still I will ask so that I can show proof if someone attack that room later :P

Q: Can I create a casual chat room for my colleagues?

Mr_GreenI like the chat room features provided here on SE. I am planning to create a public chat room (possibly, with my company name) here where my colleagues and I can hangout. The reason of this chat room would be to have some fun while working in office. The fun can be related to funny stuff (mostly)...

ya, 2 of them. I think people disagree
yeah now 3.. but there are many chat rooms here?
8:05 AM
I haven't voted yet, but after reading it, I found it... a bit unconvincing to do that.
not sure.. will wait for a while.. still no comments but downvotes.. that is rude.
Given arguments are not strong enough, I guess
@AndrewT. you mean creating a chat room or downvoting?
chat room to have some fun (added: with colleagues), etc
@Mr_Green I think words "company name" and "for my colleagues" are reason for downvotes
8:07 AM
yeah I know.. that is why I was confuse to create one
you can also do it in your company. Like I have created a chat group on skype in mine
it just SE provide good features.. :|
but I agree.. I should not over use it
