@JanDvorak curiosity killed the duck?

Jan Dvorak

I thought only cats were in danger?

Braiam

Unihedro

Kudos if you get the reference

bjb568

I give you kudos, or you give me?

Braiam

@Unihedro XKCD

Vogel612's Shadow

Quick question on offensive flags..

Braiam

you know... at the end... everything is a reference to xkcd

Unihedro

8:15 PM

(rolls eyes) why not both?

Vogel612's Shadow

When I flag a question as offensive...

and the owner self-deletes it... that marks the flag as helpful?

Braiam

note: there's no offensice flag

@Vogel612'sShadow yep

Unihedro

Yes but no penalty

Vogel612's Shadow

interesting...

thanks ;)

Unihedro

If it gets a rollback it's disputed IIRC

A: Which markdown should be used for filename of code

Bolding is fine, though I think that the header markup you've used may be a little too forceful. Large text could help, though, if you had a lot of (hopefully small!) snippets in your post. I'm not sure we need a standard for this: use what makes your post most easily read and understood. I will...

I knew that code formatting for filenames is overhated... why the hell?

Unihedro

8:38 PM

On unrelated note, this is valid Java:

http://about:blank
if (true) {
    System.exit(0);
}

Jan Dvorak

oooh, the label comment thingie strikes again. How cute.

Braiam

@Unihedro mm... you mean that runs or that doesn't issue a warning

Unihedro

Both

@JoshCaswell Should XML files of an Android project not be wrapped in code formatting then? They may be part of the program (an essential one), but are not executable. — Unihedro 4 mins ago

I feel proud for that comeback.

Good night!

Question for those with better memory: how does one learn that 2+2=4? Is it shown by means of some example with 2 apples, and 2 more apples being 4? Or is there an addition table to memorize?

Unihedro

8:53 PM

what does this have to do with memory

bjb568

You mentally regroup (..)(..) to (....)

For larger numbers, you count on your fingers.

No addition table.

Sam

@bjb568 It's the British version of what Americans call "Walmart".

bjb568

ah

@Unihedro Adults can't remember their childhood.

anorton

Clearly one learns 2+2 this way.

user259867

Reference to memory means I don't remember how I was taught this, hence the question...

wow

user259867

@bjb568 It's a joke.

bjb568

I get it.

user259867

@anorton Yes, I was thinking of that question. When the top answer says that others are misleading/confusing, and other answerers disagree, because they answer a different interpretation of the question... What to think of the whole Q&A?

bjb568

reopen?

user259867

I want to edit it first, just don't know how.

Damn recessive people.

Well, at least I know people still count thumbs as fingers.

My new car:

Jan Dvorak

Try saying "digit" and people won't understand

Frank

"digit"

aw, you guys didn't understand

Sam

@Frank Meh, I got one of those just last week.

Jan Dvorak

@Sam Just one?

Frank

@Sam This one was for sale at only a little over 500 grand

Sam

9:03 PM

@Frank Dig-it? Dig what?

bjb568

it

Frank

@Sam my new car

Sam

@JanDvorak Yeah, I sold the other to some guy, Obama or something.

Frank

lol

bjb568

:P

Sam

9:05 PM

Night!

bjb568

Braiam

fun fact: in my country, ink cartridges cost more than the printer with the cartridges included...

Frank

@Sam Night!

bjb568

@Braiam same for most contries

Frank

@Braiam same here - which is why you should go laser

Braiam

9:07 PM

all employees of my old office have printers

@bjb568 nah, if we imported the suckers we would be losing (HP)

user259867

@Braiam Are the cartridges included with the printer of the same capacity as those sold separately? Sometimes they have less ink.

bjb568

no, it's just overpriced.

Braiam

@Fundamental we printed more pages with the ones included (granted, we suspected that the ones sold separately were refilled instead of new)

Q: Why the positive bonus rep is so red in the reputation tab?

I noticed that (un)accepts... ...and bounties... are red there. Why to make all the rep received from bonuses RED?! I understand unaccepts - they give negative rep gain and therefore logically made red (on any SE site). But why accepts are with red background? It should be green, that's ...

user259867

@nicael Since you pay attention to pixels... why post screenshots that are hundreds of pixels too large?

nicael

9:20 PM

They are shiny :) and the bigger the redder

Unihedro

So tempted to post "Why does your site look so bad on inverted colors" on Drupal Meta..

nicael

I don't see it... :D

bjb568

@nicael add tag design

nicael

Yep thx

SPAM? bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/22762/…

user259867

That's the thing with Bitcoin: fuzzy boundary between LQ questions and spam.

nicael

Maybe...

bjb568

@JanDvorak guessing no

Braiam

@JanDvorak apparently he was asking people for bitcoins...

user259867

Whatever that "race" was about, it's over now.

Frank

9:45 PM

races

user259867

Flagged for mod attention.

@Frank :O

o noes

You're a tree!

oh yeah, forgot

user259867

9:47 PM

I mean flagged the bitcoin post, not @Frank.

Frank

lol

Braiam

@Fundamental we were so sure that racing in the tavern was wrong...

user259867

I see "Asda" on the starboard, looks like a typo.

Frank

Wow, this dude and his dog

9:49 PM

cats are so boring

Braiam

so says the tree

bjb568

trees are so boring

Frank

@bjb568 at least trees try to be polite sometimes tho

bjb568

Frank

@bjb568 yeah, but sometimes, versus never (cats)

A: Send data from iOS app to HTML5 website

What I highly reccomend is Google Apps Script, which can do exactly that easily with no server (you use Google's servers) and it's free. But, you have to know JavaScript (I can help a good amount because I just finished doing this) I'm going to assume when you POST (what it's called when you giv...
