Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (Russian: Влади́мир Влади́мирович Пу́тин; IPA: [vɫɐˈdʲimʲɪr vɫɐˈdʲimʲɪrəvʲɪt͡ɕ ˈputʲɪn] ( ), born 7 October 1952) has been the President of Russia since 7 May 2012. Putin previously served as President from 2000 to 2008, and as Prime Minister of Russia from 1999 to 2000 and again from 2008 to 2012. During his last term as Prime Minister, he was also the Chairman of United Russia, the ruling party.
For 16 years Putin was an officer in the KGB, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel before he retired to enter politics in his native Saint Petersburg in 1991. He moved...
@DroidDev I'd say “confusing” rather than “puzzling”. We're on rather opposite sides of a meta debate and he prefers to convince people by deception rather than with arguments.
@SPArchaeologist did you find CheapWoWGoldAndSERep.com?
if you can prove to the mods that this happened, I am confident that the bounty will be declared invalid and Mr.Buyer will also get a timed suspension, if not outright ban
@Vogel612'sShadow nope, but it was to give the idea. Would it be actually doable to transfer your rep to others via bounty and have it never retracted even after you are banned?
@Vogel612'sShadow nope, it is that the whole "give me a way to give rep to other" meta question, added to "I gave bounties after one years question was answered" comments gave me this dark scenario...
@SPArchaeologist I didn't read everything but I assumed you were debating gaming the bounty system. I recall Nicael did that ... (and was caught/banned/suspended for that, IIRC)
Oops...distraction, I was on a call...sorry. Battery doesn't last for long on my Nexus 5. I have a Samsung S3, which is older, but is still an amazing phone and the battery lasts longer.
@rene while I would hope that it wasn't banned for debating but for misbehaving while doing so, I was only asking myself if the system allows to perform "rep laundering" by abusing bounties. So far you gave me the impression that it does unless some human intervene. I was hoping for some more automatic.

I understand that the Catholic Church forbade people from eating meat on Fridays for many years. It seems that it is no longer every Friday, but just during Lent. Also, it is not all meat, but all meat that isn't fish (from what I understand).
How did this become considered a sin? Why meat? ...
I have this problem where my laptop becomes unusable (CPU pinged out) if I put it in sleep mode, dock it in a docking station, and then wake it up. The only way to resolve the issue at that point is to reboot. I told our sysadmin about it, and he suggested I stop using sleep mode o_0
