You should use POST instead of GET because GET will automatically handle the redirect, but:
If the 302 status code is received in response to a request other than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might ...
@jcolebrand My mother said she would be looking around. I think there might still be a few copied languishing around the university, but I doubt she can find anything before tonight
There's a lot of "Steve Jobs inspired a generation to think different." going on on Twitter. Which is odd, since his greatest accomplishment was really inspiring billions of people to buy something from a very limited catalog of products.
Apple Computer, Inc. v. Microsoft Corporation, 35 F.3d 1435 (9th Cir. 1994) was a copyright infringement lawsuit in which Apple Computer, Inc. (now Apple Inc.) sought to prevent Microsoft Corporation and Hewlett-Packard from using visual graphical user interface (GUI) elements that were similar to those in Apple's Lisa and Macintosh operating systems. The court ruled that, "Apple cannot get patent- protection for the idea of a graphical user interface, or the idea of a desktop metaphor [under copyright law]..." In the midst of the Apple v. Microsoft lawsuit, Xerox also sued Apple alleging ...
They've sued everyone and stepped on all potential competitors. There isn't a trick in the book to solidify a monopoly on an industry that Apple hasn't use.
And the "free pass" he gets from people who hate corporations, even though he was at the helm of one no better (morally speaking) than any other, "shareholder requirements" or not.
@mootinator I believe the man was pure. I believe the corporation that he needed to have to allow him to produce the things he wanted to produce was part of a society that he wasn't quite part of, and that that corporation was the source of a large part of the ailments of our society, because it had to serve the purpose of providing for the shareholders. I think, if he had had six lives instead of just one, that he might also have gone on to reform corporations.
However, I'm still holding out for a new Jefferson to arise in our generation. I know I'm not that man, but I wish I could be.
@EvanCarroll what I want to reform is the entire western corporate-based capitalistic society that has no pretense of anything other than the sheer exploitation of everyone that is not at the top of the power pyramid.
@YiJiangs独角兽 I just sent you a request on Windows Live Messenger, which for some reason no longer allows me to provide a comment in the invitation to explain who I am..
At any rate. Part of the reasons corporations get away with what they get away with is the absolute refusal to hold anyone responsible for what they do.
@hotveryspicy There's no set timeframe. Historically, response time has generally depended on two things: the topic you're writing about (security exploit: fast; ban removal: slow) and the tone/word choice you write with (proper grammar and calm demeanor: fast; poor spelling and insulting language: slow).
We all agree he was a nuisance. Even Google agrees -- notice he doesn't have a doodle: not an coincidence either. Probably wasn't a good idea to sue Nexus One guys.

Email received by team@stackoverflow.com from Name
Jesus Christ Almighty, what a f***ing mess of a website. I'm trying to post a question. Just the one, you know, f***ing question. So I sign up for an ID and I'm sent an email that doesn't real...
@TimStone I didn't get the invite, so I thought something might be up with Pidgin. Turns out Ubuntu doesn't update Pidgin in its main repo. The version I have now is 6 months old. Hang on while I update...
@TimStone Say, can you try inviting me again? Or use GTalk
Either would be fine I think. I associated both with the Google account, and can use both email addresses to log into Gmail (which is quite amusing, actually)
Okay, I meant to post that in the sandbox, then realized I was in the wrong place and deleted it, and then realized that the sandbox was frozen two days ago.
I think we need an occupy Starbucks. Where the 1% can take up all the seats so when the 99% are done on Wall St. they'll be frustrated because they don't have anywhere to work on their iBooks.
@dancek Theoretically, yes. There's even a tab on the MSO front page that allows for easy access to uncompleted requests: meta.stackoverflow.com/?tab=requests
(By the way, @dancek, if your goal was to get someone to click through to your profile and look at your feature requests, well done, you have succeeded. Sadly for you, I am not on The Team.)
@dancek yeah, I can imagine! (It's been a long time since the last decent winter in Germany so I can only imagine actually :)
@dancek yeah, me too! We used to go to the Oulu and Rovaniemi areas for the christmas holidays every year when I was little, most of my relatives live there. That was snow!
@Pekka yeah! Actually the last two winters have been exceptionally good, so even near Helsinki we've had as much snow as in Rovaniemi ordinarily... (of course that's not good for everyone, but that's another story)
@dancek Nice! Once my project to emigrate to the US has worked out (I hope next year) and I'm settled there, I need to come to Finland for holidays. It's been more than six years now!
@dancek well, okay... It's better to have it produced in a finnish reactor than an old russian one, I guess. But still! Look at Germany, it's in the process of leaving nuclear energy completely, and it's a big-ass industrial nation with 80 million inhabitatns. (Although there's a lot of unanswered questions there so we will have to see how that works out.)
@dancek yeah, that is the problem. In the end, there would have to be a massive reduction in consumption. That is going to be the result of the German exit plans as well. And I can't see the western civilization cutting its energy consumption to be honest.
But the shit that we're generating in the nuclear plants is going to be a huge and mortally dangerous liability for dozens of generations to come. We can't do that really. That is worse than accumulating a lot of debt
@dancek mmm well, there has been leakage and temperature rises in German storage locations that wasn't supposed to happen - according to what the latest science said in the 90s
I say it's not right. I can't see an alternative to it but it's still not right to leave this stuff behind
The risk of catastrophe is something that a society can agree on taking (like we accept a certain number of traffic accidents etc.), but the people who will carry that burden haven't been born yet. That, to me, is the one big argument against
Still, if given the choice between a western reactor and a RBMK, I guess I'll opt for the former.
There are so many things wrong with the world it's hard to believe. I really take the energy issue in a very practical way without caring much about the consequences after 1000 years. I hate to admit that.
I keep getting notifications for some other Rob on SO. And of course I can't ask about it on meta, because some shitty automatic question ban has kicked in.
Unfortunately, the first name of a popular individual here is also a prefix of my username. As a result, I get his chat notifications whenever someone refers to him by just his first name.
Is there a way to improve this? Besides my initial proposal that he find a new name. :) Perhaps take into a...
So I go into the PHP chatroom when I'm bored, and hang out there and talk with the guys. Sometimes a Robert or a RobRonJenkins or a RobRoy come in, and everybody gets lazy and calls them @Rob, same as me. Well, when I don't go in there for a few days, I still get notifications when they address those other guys. It even happens when I haven't been in the room for like a week.
Also, I would like to introduce you to @MichaelK, @MichaelPetrotta, @MichaelMrozek, @MichaelMyers and I'm sure there's a couple more mods called @Michael ... who all get pinged if we only do @Michael (which we sometimes do to be annoying)
@jcolebrand Thanks for your advice. Although, I would argue 3 questions is far too small a sample size to activate a question ban -- a little more consideration and tweaking is necessary, I think.
It's odd that the ban would kick in after you posted an upvoted question, not after either of the downvoted ones. Maybe there's a three-question minimum.
I did put effort into those questions... although my first question I forgot to check for duplicates, and the second I don't consider to be an exact duplicate... so I was kind of offended to find I have a question ban.
wait until you're a mod that's helping deal with cross-site issues and other mods are toying with you by the handful and hitting one of you but doing it to alert all of you :p
hehehe, one can only hope @mmyers isn't still here ;)
We mods generally all hang out in one room (it helps to concentrate the firepower) and we're usually in there daily, so the rule about "pings you if you were there in the last xx hours" pretty much stays active for all the mods in that room :p
@mmyers I know, but then you were Michael for a while. I never understood why you were. Either that or I have really got to lay off the caffiene.
So I'm told once you have +200 on one site and two or more linked accounts, every account gets +100
And right now you're at +180, but I'm willing to bet that somewhere you answered and then something got deleted, so that would've put you over 200 at the time
