@Trufa I must say, it feels good have truly helped someone today.
@TheRenamedException I love that it's flexibility allows things like jQuery, prototype.js, etc. I hate that it so desperately needs a library like that.
We may have some jobs in the future, but you wouldn't be without competition for it when it happens :-) Send me a resume to georgemarian@josh.gitlin.name
I am hoping we will be bring some people on part-time in the near future, but, we'll see
Actually, if I could find enough steady part-time work to just make ends meet, that would allow me to work on other interests. I think I feel the entrepreneurial itch.
@GeorgeMarian if you ever need a helping hand I would love to get more involed in ther programming industry (I'm in Business Administration / online marketing)
@TimStone While it is technically true that enough monkeys at enough computers would eventually bang out the complete collected work of Linus Torvalds, I don't think you have that kind of time on your hands.
@TheRenamedException BTW, that's not necessarily my "best" resume. I have rearranged it a bit, but I wanted your input on that version. (The differences aren't huge, mostly order of sections and the style of the summary.)
So somebody help me out here, what's the deal with Geoff Chetwood? I know the name part, and the URL is reminiscent of someone who was a troll on tdwtf forums. Is the guy a professional troll? Also, is it the same guy that was trolling on TDWTF?
@TheRenamedException just sat back down and was scrolling over the transcript and noticed it
thought I would help someone else get as much done as I am today :p
@drachenstern I dunno, I think I only caught like the last two weeks before his suspension when I came to Meta; maybe not even. You may know him as Rich B.
Is it true that an user can delete his/her own question when it has no answer? I think it's the case and would like to suggest it in a comment to stackoverflow.com/questions/4902657
How can a post be deleted?
You can delete your own posts
Moderators can delete any post
Users with a reputation >= 10K can vote to delete a question after it has been closed for 48 hours (it takes 3 votes to delete... more if the question is popular).

Starting a serious site and need some help.
We are bringing 100+ experts and launching to 10,000 users. We really like the stack exchange site, but looks like we'll never know if we'll get kicked off or shut down. HELP????
What site should we use? What assurances do we have with area51.stack...
My group and I have a site that we feel could seriously benefit from the SE2.0 infrastructure, and we feel that we could draw in at least 100 seriously avid users and a crowd of at least 10,000 contributors, but we're not sure that we can maintain the required velocity to obtain a complete site using the Area51 system.
What advice can you give me about launching this site that I haven't told you anything about, and getting it to have a successful launch velocity?
Unfortunately I'm not an avid user of the SE2.0 infrastructure and don't know enough of how it functions to know how successful…
So anyways, in unrelated news: I will not be creating additional sockpuppet accounts. The one titled drachenstern is sufficient. I'm pretty sure I can have a sockpuppet without having an original account, yes?
It's against the rules creating sock puppets. Period! (Ok, Jeff is an exception). Flag one of his posts for moderator attention and explain your concerns.
Or post a question here on Meta ;)
@TheRenamedException heroeswiki.com/Yatta! <-- I say it often enough ... one would think you'ld have seen it by now ;)
Also my favorite TV show that I'm SO bummed got cancelled and (secretly) hope that SciFi will pickup and revamp/continue. Cos it had a lot of potential. But Kring has already moved on, so I think it's gone forever.
Considering getting a tattoo of The Symbol but that may be too hokey.
@PopularDemand Someone earned a badge 44m ago ... don't you have to login for the system to notify you of such a thing? meta.stackoverflow.com/users/5640/…

I have a couple of networking components in my rack that take giant AC adapters ("power bricks") that don't fit neatly into my rackmount PDU.

you have to love this guy though:
Wow. Extension cord. I would like to apologize to Planet Earth for the fact I required 12 people to tell me something that obvious. Score: Portman 0, ServerFault 92.

I used to be a sock puppet, but I have become independent now. I don't need the hand.
