Tavern on the Meta

not really, I've been gauging myself against a few other users that started posting when I did and I'm falling behind. I haven't even come close to going over my rep limit for the past few days

plus I picked up a troll who has been downvoting all of my answers as soon as I post them so I've tried not to post answers for a couple days, until he gets bored of waiting

bjb568

Probably won't get bored.

Tiny Giant

10:14 PM

S/he didn't downvote my last answer

So I'm guessing already bored

bjb568

hm…

nicael

@TinyGiant Lol, you should have done opposite thing :D post trucks of answers, then when they downvote all those answers in one day, their voting would be reversed as serial :)

bjb568

s/s\/h/s?h/

Tiny Giant

Yeah, too smart for that. They only downvote 5 per day

And I don't really care about the rep, just dislike my answers being put immediately to the bottom of the list.

nicael

Three is actually enough to be detected.

Tiny Giant

10:18 PM

hmm, they haven't gone yet

bjb568

Depends on timing.

Tiny Giant

but I'm sure putting space in between them and voting on other things will cancel out

i need a better question than this for this answer

bjb568

Be careful, some people hate general reference questions.

Tiny Giant

Yeah, that's why I need a better question

cybermonkey

this turned out to be a pretty damn long answer, but I've seen longer:

A: Get Offline Installation ID (Windows 8 or similar)

This is possible by querying the WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation)'s Win32_WindowsProductActivation (XP and below) or SoftwareLicensingProduct (Vista or higher) class: Requires these namespaces to be declared: System System.Collections.Generic System.Management System.Text Declare tho...

@cybermonkey But without the images it isn't that long

cybermonkey

@TinyGiant true

Tiny Giant

Formatting of a post can be deceptive about it's actual contents

Braiam

@cybermonkey XP is dead

Tiny Giant

If I were to use windows ever again, it wouldn't be any newer than XP. I haven't even considered windows since vista

cybermonkey

@Braiam true, but thought I'd mention in in my answer since it's pretty surprising how many corporate networks still run XP.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think microsoft is evil, they just aren't very good at writing software.

Braiam

@TinyGiant except Office

Tiny Giant

Open Office / Libre Office, much much better

bummi

pob :/

Tiny Giant

I hate the way MS Office screws with text selection

mm...? I haven't really had that issue

I find OOo and LO being too featureless

Tiny Giant

it doesn't let me select the text that I want to select, it snaps the selection to random arbitrary points making me scream and yell

nicael

Guess who it is.

@Idisagree werent they supposed to be a mod? Or returned, got a diamond then disposed of it?

Tiny Giant

And both OO and LO have plugins for more features

That's the nature of linux

Do one thing and do it well, then allow for plugins

nicael

Or wait, that was on Mathematica?

@cybermonkey lol, don't think anyone can help you here :)

cybermonkey

@Braiam IMHO should be quote blocks

but then I don't frequent physics.se, so maybe code blocks is the way to go

Q: "My Logins for nicael" sounds.. well, awkward

That's about this page. I realize the name is in the title for mods, who can see others' logins, but that just doesn't sound right. If it is my own "My Logins" page, then the name can be removed. If it is seen by some mod, the title and "My Logins" header can have "My" removed.

Eh, I have 10 downvotes and the top answer has two upvotes, one of which is mine, second has an upvote from me. Consensus?

@nicael that nicael is suck?

Tiny Giant

It's pink in both

nicael

You mean, it should be pink for you to be in a good mood :)

Tiny Giant

I don't know how someone could be on a good mood. How do you mount a good mood?

cybermonkey

@TinyGiant it's supposed to be black and red, cries

Tiny Giant

@cybermonkey Lol pink is the new salmon

nicael

10:43 PM

@TinyGiant typo

Braiam

salmon is the new black

Tiny Giant

No black is the new blue

@cybermonkey Spray paint works wonders

just make sure you scuff the plastic and prime before painting

Braiam

I think that only mate red is red for your camera, anything with too much shine will be pink

and you have a Wolfram Alpha tag @Idisagree

btw, how the heck you managed to change your display name before the 30 days are up?

@Braiam We do. That by itself isn't an issue. There are tags for Matlab, Maple, Mathematica, etc.

In fact, there are off-topic questions that really should be asked on Stack Overflow, but the authors may have been banned there, who knows.

hichris123

Nicael, please stop posting your bugs in here.

bjb568

Why? It's hardly disruptive…

I don't want this to become R17 where select users' posts automatically get binned.

nicael

@hichris123 that's exactly my thought ;)

note that that number has a +-5% of margin of error due several people working on sunday and people that don't have to work on monday
