@TylerChacha I try not to overuse it when I do it. Don't want to ruin the meme for those around you ;)
@TylerChacha tell me abou tit
@YiJiang I really really like this one. And because you're not doing anything commercial and because it's targeted at a narrow audience I think Mario is fine here. Of course IANAL applies to all of us, and we all know this.
Leave the easter eggs and be proud of them. If anybody's not familiar with the <kbd> castle then they'll just not get the joke. Doesn't hurt that they don't play on meta. They can still use the SE scripts
lol, is it a SFW query that I should run? ;) I have safesearch turned off in my global google settings for argumentative grounds (I don't want google to filter for me, I want to filter for myself damnit) so ... SFW only ;)
I have a jailbroken iPhone. Recently, I have realized that its battery usage is abysmal. Suspecting that it has something to do with the radio, I downloaded Data Counter from Cydia to check real-time data usage and found that even with push notifications off and exchange set to manual, there is a...
(10:12:01 PM) Louie: none of these answers actually help
(10:12:08 PM) Louie: well, maybe the honeypot
(10:12:09 PM) Louie: crackpot
(10:12:27 PM) Louie: and we even have a guy scolding me about jailbreaking
(10:12:28 PM) Louie: ><
Of course, without ever having used a iPhone, I won't know anything about it, but still...
By telling him to reformat his phone and be VERY careful about what he installs in the future
and to recommend him to get an android where this stuff is a little more vetted and doesn't require jailbreaking (which encourages people who are a little more devious)
it's all about the environment. It's like the Mos Eisley Cantina. Sure there are some good people in there (look at the musicians, and the ones who don't cause any trouble) but then there are thugs (my friend doesn't like you, I don't like you) and so Cydia encourages that sort of environment.
@drachenstern Right, so no doubt that the iPhone is hacked and has been used for nefarious purposes? No chance that the activity comes from legit activity?
@YiJiang keep everything in /home or /users/me/documents ... makes it much easier
@YiJiang figured so
I'm just curious if he changed his password, that tells me where the attack vector probably came from, and I'm curious
if he never changed it, then I have a bit of a game for him to play. Monitor daily to see when his computer starts doing that. Install one app per day. That will tell him if it's likely to be an app, or if it's from another phone on the network.
wow, getting rid of two of my twitter folk gave me a much cleaner stream ... :( -> :) I can finally see last nights news without having to wade through their muck
@RebeccaChernoff gotta love Marvin (yes, I realize that's not totally Marvin, but it was indeed inspired by him in part)
Say you want to create a new environment for a team of developers to build a large website on a lamp stack.

> βThere are three boxes, one contains only apples, one contains only oranges, and one contains both apples and oranges. The boxes have been incorrectly labeled such that no label identifies the actual contents of the box it labels. Opening just one box, and without looking in the box, you take out one piece of fruit. By looking at the fruit, how can you immediately label all of the boxes correctly?β
Supposed interview question from Apple (but in reality just an old logic question)
no fair googling for answers on this one
This one is trickier, but it's not intended to be solvable like that one was:
> βHow many bottles of beer are drank in the city over the week?β β asked at The Nielsen Company.
nonsense to both of you, on the one hand elephants love water, on the other hand most of these questions are about nonsensical answers, it's more about the process than the solution
I successfully tested it while running 100 slides and it didn't flinch
It used to crash at 20 slides
I did some memory stuff and it's incredible now.
that app runs on the ipad
But to make things even cooler, i threw together a "mini" app for iPhone that allows users to download the info to their iphone and take the information with them for reference.
They can even share it with other people who have the "mini" app
I'm sensing that I'm almost done.
The app can technically be used elsewhere, btw. Any place that needs a custom slideshow running with specific information.
I just wanted to add asp.net* to my list of ignore tags. However, that doesn't seem to do anything. So I tried asp.net and still no success.
asp* then finally caused the matching questions to be greyed out.
I assume that the dot causes that reaction.
EDIT: this is my list of current ignore-tag...
The information needed by my PHP script is already in the $_SESSION variable, so I don't need to pass anything along to the server. I just need the PHP file to run.
Right now I'm using jQuery's POST method. I'm passing along a fake post variable (whatever: 'you want') to make the browser happy. ...
Is "yay or nay" an acceptable alternative to "yea or nay"? I have seen it several times in recent weeks, enough to make me wonder whether it is an emerging usage or just a common typo.
I've just been alerted to a company which produces board games - you design the game, artwork 'n all, and upload the assets to them. They produce the game and sell it in their store, taking half the profits.

@Fosco I think that this is the first time I've actually been on one myself. I've flown a lot, but I haven't been overseas in a while, and US-based airlines have been a bit slow about picking up the technology.

its a bit overkill though, the idea that the light would be on all the time when the handle isn't being used
5-10 seconds after the handle is used should be enough
A lot of people now have water filtration systems that just exposes the water to UV light as it passes by, and it works very well even with minimal exposure time.
Everyone wish me luck. The senior staff of my company all have a very important meeting which may influence my company's future. Here's hoping we get some great results!
Thanks @Fosco and @ChrisF. I am optimistic that this may be the start of some new money for my company so I can increase (and maybe even double) our programming staff!
Makes my 1600 x 1200 seem small (though I do have 2). Though I do find the modern trend for short wide monitors a bit off-putting. I like some height to my screens
@Pekka Most of the milk glands are in the tissue behind the breast. So in this case size really doesn't matter. (Though they do get bigger when a woman is breast-feeding).
@Pekka Oh, haha, I see what you mean :-) No, it was scheduled for a while ago and hasn't started yet. Was supposed to be very important, possibly could have been great news for my company :-/
@TheUnhandledException I don't know about plasma's but these screens are at least 6 or 7 years old. I got them when I was made redundant in 2006 and they were a couple of years old then.
@TheUnhandledException You should be OK with a TV as long as you don't leave a static image on it for any length of time. I used to think that LCD's were immune - but the evidence before me says otherwise
The screen in the hall cycles through the same things every five or ten minutes. Except sometimes the computer that's running it freezes up; I think that's when the burn-in happens.
Scenario
A new user posts a question quite innocently (but obviously without looking at the preview). It may be a fine question, but because of the user's use of < in the code sections (which of course are not formatted as code), most of the question is not visible.
Because the question is i...
@MichaelMyers Yes, that's also a problem. Another problem is everyone rushes to fix it, while OP tries to add details at the same time and when everyone stops and realises wtf just happened nobody wants to jump in and fix it for real.
When I was first introduced to Linux, working at Cisco Systems in 2000, I was taught the merits of the sync command, used to flush buffers to disk to prevent filesystem corruption / data loss. I was told not only by coworkers there, but by friends in college to always run sync "a few" or "a bunch...
