The spoiler tag is a meta fluffy used to define the type of query and nothing to do with the content of the question.
Tags should help summarise what the question is about and not about what the question may appear to be.
It's noise that shouldn't be proliferating as much as it is since it's l...

@PopularDemand They stream their ads from different servers from their music, so by firewalling off the ad servers, the music continues uninterrupted by ads!
@TimStone Still "workin on mah problemz"? Lazy cat. Did anyone even stop to check his resume before he was hired? What're his technical qualifications, hm?

@Benjol Note to self: post a question on Photo SE on April 1 stating "I can't upload the original image right now, please accept this ASCII art facsimile for the time being."
@Benjol Glad to hear it. I only asked one question there so far. Got kind of a lukewarm response, so I wasn't sure. But then, it was about Photoshop, not photography proper.
@PopularDemand, they've had 'too many' technical-type questions, they'd like more about photography-proper - because that's what's likely to attract the experts.
@Benjol I see. I wonder how long that period lasts. I've been avoiding participating in betas -- and was gratified to see that that became an official recommendation -- because I don't consider myself to be expert enough.
@PopularDemand, I'm not an expert, by a long shot. I think they just want to differentiate themselves from most other photography forums which turn into tech porn ("I've got the biggest telefoto")
@BoltClock, if you jump to where I quoted that, there's some links to related posts on the blog that quote comes from. good blog
@PopularDemand the coolest thing on the photo.se site is the weekly feature photo ;)
It seems like once a week we get someone in here asking about "How can I do this non-photo-related thing with Photoshop?" It appears to come from the name of the site, "Photography and Photographic Editing".
To avoid confusion, should we rename the site? I'd suggest "Photography and Post-Process...
[off-topic: for anyone who's interested, this is an interesting sort for Yi's page:]
$('#userList > li').sortElements(function (a, b) {
return $(b).find('.score').attr('title').split(':')[1] - $(a).find('.score').attr('title').split(':')[1];
});
I have a very odd intermittent issue. It occurs on a shared hosting server running CentOS and Apache/2.2.8, serving mostly PHP based websites at a rate of between 10 - 30 requests/sec. 3.5 GB RAM, kernel 2.6.9-67.0.7ELsmp in case that matters.
What happens is, about once a week (but seemingly ra...
I believe it's a PHP session_start concurrency problem, but that's a total hunch
I would bounty my entire SF rep for the answer. Only reason I don't have a bounty on that question is because as you said, it's really old and if I did, the bounty would expire and be wasted
@JustinjjnguyNelson, I'm not sure how the election works, but I'm guessing that that may be a better indication of who may come top at the end than just upvotes-downvotes
A person that is a programmer, a cook, a physicist and a whatever participant on Stack Exchange and has sufficient reputation points sounds much more like a generalist than one knowing different programming languages.
I would propose having badges not only on the sites individually or on Area 51...
Suggestion to have a Versatile badge for those who have good rep in multiple SE sites.
This is to recognize users active across sites - similar to the combined flair but a badge to go along with it.
This could be 3 tier
Bronze > 200 in at least 7 sites (or some similar threshold)
Silver > 10...
> Earlier this week Google launched an algorithmic change that will tend to rank scraper sites or sites with less original content lower. The net effect is that searchers are more likely to see the sites that wrote the original content. An example would be that stackoverflow.com will tend to rank higher than sites that just reuse stackoverflow.com's content. Note that the algorithmic change isn't specific to stackoverflow.com though.
