@AndrewT. Gawn.
Unsure if POB since probably only the .NET creators can answer the question WHY: stackoverflow.com/questions/28762307/…
Wall of text, no code.
No discernible question that I can parse. Just "why it no work".
Oh look, a useless edit, code-highlighting random words in the text.
Fixing NOTHING else.
 
should I rollback?
 
That would also be useless, I guess.
Everything's useless. There is only purpose in coffee.
 
Doesn't change anything... unclear -> unclear
 
@J.Steen in coffee we trust
 
10:17 AM
What if you're out of coffee?
 
Then you get more coffee.
 
How about tea?
 
Just don't steep too long, or your caffeine will be useless.
 
Is 12 hours too long?
 
Yes.
Unless you make a new cup after 11h59m.
 
10:20 AM
Off-topic and OP is trying to argue it isn't. stackoverflow.com/questions/28755840/…
 
too broad, POB
 
^^ and off-site resource, not programming, take your pick
 
Just... not for SO.
 
@J.Steen Closed now - thanks
 
10:24 AM
@HoboSapiens And one delete vote ;)
 
@PatrickHofman I have to wait 2 days. I'll mark it and come back.
 
Unclear, or am I just not reading it right? stackoverflow.com/questions/28762773/…
 
@J.Steen agreed
 
I guess he's just asking "how do I set the cursor to a specific position?"
 
I don't even see a textbox anywhere in the code.
@bart But, yes. That is what they're asking without providing an attempt.
 
10:27 AM
@J.Steen sure, still a crap question
 
Uh. I'm instantly curious what business case you could have for wanting to do this: stackoverflow.com/questions/28762831/run-chrome-hidden
 
browsing adult content at work
you can't see it, but you know it's there
 
@J.Steen No idea why, but it looks like a question for Super User
 
So, you're browsing adult content... without seeing it.
Man, the C# tag is on a roll this morning: stackoverflow.com/questions/28762850/…
 
@J.Steen Self-deleted after one downvote
 
10:32 AM
Yeah. Noticed. =D
Anyway. Coffee, anyone? brings the bucket
 
Not for me, thanks. It's nearly midnight and my wife is snoring already. G'night

Suddenly, ass.

Oh my god.
And I don't even believe in one.
 
Argh, downvoted to bits again.
GONE.
 
@Mooseman inb4 mods claim it's an answer
Update on the tex answer: offensive flags helpful / comments purged / closed unclear by community / stuck at +2 score
 
First time I got to cast a delete vote before it got killed as spam :)
 
12:28 PM
@Mooseman You'd better leave it as is
If three users delete it, I doubt if the spam gets handled correctly.
 
Very true.
 
I think any spam flags cause spamdel with penalty if the post is deleted at all. IDK about self-delete.
 
Self-delete marks the flag as helpful but avoids the penalty
 
^
The penalty is only applied by community deletion on six SPAM / OFF flags.

POB?
 
@J.Steen I voted for that
 
And it's been viewed an average of less than 7 times per month.
Which is, granted, more than once a week but still.
 
probably the votes will age out ... :/
 
12:53 PM
The latest answer lends validity to the fact it's POB, since it's entirely speculation and what-ifs.
 
@J.Steen It's in the review queue, I did not vote hoping others will take care on the question too ....
 
People reviewing answers almost never then go on to review the question that might spark such a crap answer.
Unfortunately.
^^ Conjecture and speculation, because there are so many crap questions still out there. >.>
 
 
Hah. =)
 
@bummi User education, slowly but surely.

A banner like this on the review form could probably help ;)

Q: Can we have the option to review the question too, when an answer appears in /review

Lorem IpsumI often come across answers in /review, where the question it's answering needs more fixing/closing/downvoting than the answer itself. Consider these two examples: I don't know jQuery to actually "fix" the answer in the first one or wrap some explanatory text around the code. However, upon dr...

Might also want to "touch" it so it becomes active.
Edit, add an answer, whatevs.
 
@J.Steen at the moment it's touched
 
For the very first time?
(like a suuuuuuuuurgeon)
 
1:06 PM
@J.Steen no, it's in the review and the answer is only 10 hours old ...
 
I meant the suggestion on meta. =D
I'm too lazy to use replies.
However. Time for coffee and commute.

1:35 PM
my hint was to hidden?
 
Maybe you should be speaking so clearly even Zephyr will understand you
 
@bummi disputable. It's written like advertising, but does the username count as disclosure?
Maybe an edit would turn it into a useful answer?
 
@Mooseman Congrats!
 
@nicael Thanks! :)
 
1:38 PM
Oh, wait, the question is a different one
I support flagging as spam
 
@JanDvorak ufff ... relief

Q: What is encrypted in this image?

user69149 In the image above apparently has a hidden link?? I don't know how to do this (even if it may seem simple for some) however I don't believe it's anything malicious. It's a part of a puzzle, but even I don't get where it will ultimately lead.

 
everyone was talking about this yesterday afternoon.

Q: Which 3D shape can you make out of this?

Nathaniel The above shape can be folded into a closed 3D shape using no more than 14 distinct folds, with no parts overlapping. What is special about the shape that results? (The dotted lines are just to show you how the shape is constructed - they don't necessarily indicate where to place folds.) You ca...

I propose a Katamari
but that voids the rule on the max number of folds :P

I don't care for parties that much, but a donut right now would be good.

I ate a cookie, didn't eat donut because not hungry in morning.

If you found an user who is promoting his site on 3 different SE-Sites 4 post (3 times edited out) on still standing on SO will be flagging with Other on one site (providing the links) be enough or should the posts be flagged on every site?
 
Idk, if you flag only one the mod might head to the teachers' lounge
but that's not effective

Q: How can I merge another Stack Exchange Account with my Stack Overflow Account

user2770919Alright, I already have an account on Stack Overflow, and have a guest account on Code Review. I want to know how I can merge these two accounts. Any ideas?

@JanDvorak The (removed) one.
 
What information do you mean?
 
@JanDvorak The image was in the removed message.
 
@Mooseman Do you mean your list of programs? The one to the left of Chrome is a particularly incriminating one...
 
@JanDvorak If you don't mind me asking, how are you able to see it after I edited it?
 
I opened it in an extra tab (to zoom in) before you deleted it
 
4:52 PM
Oh. Nothing fancy.
And there's nothing wrong with using IE for testing.
 
@Mooseman that the one you want deleted?
 
@Shog9 In the removed message, yes. Thank you.
 
Do you not want to reveal your musical tastes?
 
@LynnCrumbling Might be useful, though </devilsAdvocate>
 
4:57 PM
@JanDvorak Ha. Troll.
 
@JanDvorak Nothing wrong with promoting Hillsong ;) My bigger issue is... well, if I told you you'd exploit it. :p
 
@JanDvorak But, if you want to write up an answer, go for it :)
@JanDvorak I'll upvote it.

nicaelThe text of how can I earn the badge is taken directly from the badge description, but it sounds incorrect under the heading "How can you earn the badge". E.g.: "Edited and answered". Should be "Edit and answer" in this case.

Nothing said about the 3rd site, ru.Math.
 
well, we already have a math site
 
user259867
We already have a programming site, too.
 
user259867
ru.Math looks pretty crappy, actually. Identical titles "How to solve this equation?", followed by some pre-calculus equation. And it's essentially one user answering everything.

cute pic ^

that's a big pic
 
user259867
Yes. Some users don't realize that when they upload a profile pic, the full size is stored and is accessible to others, not just the 128 px version.

This isn't an issue with the fox as much as with pictures of people.

yes, I like your pic, very nice.
also, I have a lot of chat tabs open, so I really don't mind which one you use, I'll see the activity.
 
Sue
8:38 PM
@Frank Very cute! Hadn't watched it all the way through. D likes to torture our cats by making them chase a flashlight beam up and down the walls, but I make him stop cuz it's sad!
 
@Sue some cats love jumping and chasing lights
 
Sue
@Frank Yup, especially the jumping part.
 
xD
 
Sue
I have one that just likes to sit and watch TV. That's my fattest one, though, probably because he sits around too much and doesn't like jumping!
@Frank So does that mean I have to upload the pic separately on the network profile?
@Frank That place looks cool!
Funny - I just noticed there's been discussion here today about uploading pics. I didn't know that when I came in. Did I do my pic properly? I downloaded it from Flickr and didn't know what size option to choose. Is it okay? They had other sizes...
 
It looks fine.

@Sue you may have.
 
@Sue The tea is the best, though. It's like drinking flavored sugar.

@LynnCrumbling That was expected to happen in HTML5 a while back. Glad it's finally happening now.
 
Sue
I went back to the site and don't see a store locator thing. Looks like a fun place, like Ben & Jerrys' in Vermont.
 
@LynnCrumbling I don't like tea
 
Sue
@LynnCrumbling I love tea!!!
 
@Mooseman They're actually saying "use IFRAME/CSS"
 
but ice cream is my favorite food
 
8:59 PM
@Sue Ever have the Swiss Tea?
 
Sue
@LynnCrumbling Nope - what's that?
 
@Frank And they are masters at making it. I love THIC
