The new Facebook partnership has been great and it has attracted a lot of new developers to the site. Unfortunately, it has also attracted a lot of people asking completely off-topic questions and a ton of duplicates. For example, I think there are 15 questions a day asking why their Facebook lik...
I guess it bothered me more back when I couldn't VTC... I felt helpless in all that crap... now that I can kind of do something about it... its less annoying :P
ohh... I see what you mean... bugs about the facebook mini site...
yea yea... I can see where you coming from with that...
hehehe.... um...well its summer - there are always things to do in the summer... beaching and stuff...
usually there are lots of concerts also.. not sure about this year...
ummmm... I'm not 100% sure what to suggest to you hey :P I'm sure though also after your BR trip you'll see some cool places that you might want to go back to...you know...
I've worked with a company called Davka, which is based out of Beit Shemesh, but those folks are originally from Chicago, so it won't necessarily help my Hebrew.
@awoodland - I bet they do, and I would guess applications would be long closed. But that's a good idea to look into.
@Lix - if you find anything, please poke me. I can do iOS/Objective-C, web programming with the LAMP stack, Actionscript (ugh), studied C++ in school, and I've toyed with Python, Ruby, .NET, but it'd be a bad idea for me to work with most of those things, considering the time constraints.
Actually, what do you think about Israeli colleges? Any shot I can get a summer class in?
@mos - its a long story :P I was born here but left at age 4... so my roots are here... but i was brought up in africa - only came back when i was 16.... I am native israeli by the books... but i don't feel that israeli :P
@Lix I thought there's no ניקוד in anything made for people above the age of like four. My גמרא in school never had ניקוד.
I haven't seen any on photos of Israeli street signs either. (Not the hebrew part anyway, I dunno what it's called in Arabic, but there's plenty of it.)
no its true - there isn't much anywhere... not in the newspaper for example.... and no - none on street signs - but the signs have hebrew english and arabic... so that won;t be much trouble...
I want to point out that why bounty could be start according to the suggested points by stackoverflow. It could be user defined how much a user wants to start with. if i have a question of 10 reputation so why should i start bounty with 100 or 50.
thanks
That question I linked to just keeps getting better. Apparently, the OP created a sock puppet account, answered his bounty question, and awarded himself the bounty.
The only way you as a user can remove a bounty is by awarding it. — awoodland2 hours ago
I was worried that comment might have been what persuaded that user to bounty his sockpuppet but then I realised that can only be a good thing since it made the sockpuppet damn obvious
Did I misunderstand something here, or is this post basically asking "my code is producing the following incorrect output, what's wrong with it" without actually providing the code?
I made a timezone conversion script in Java. When I ran it, it completed and I got output. When I ran the same code in a Jetty server, I got some problems.
E.g. for system time 2012/05/29 18:36:41
converting to "Pacific/Apia(-11)" gave output: Wed May 30 02:06:41 IST 2012
"Pacific/Honolulu(-10...
The International Date Line (IDL) is an imaginary line on the surface of the Earth, that runs from the north to the south pole and demarcates one calendar day from the next. It passes through the middle of the Pacific Ocean, roughly following the 180° longitude but it deviates to pass around some territories and island groups.
The International Date line is on the opposite side of the Earth to the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian helps to define Universal Time and is the meridian from which all other time zones are calculated. Time zones to the east of the Prime Meridian are in adva...
Links to this question are appearing EVERYWHERE - hence the 15000 views. Everything about this question and the way its used and linked to all over the place is completely negative. How do you think a user feels when they ask a question only to be told "Stack overflow is not your personal research assistant" with a link to this question. Its offensive, condescending and downright bitchy. What Stack Overflow is not..... this question, and the way its used to enforce the rules and opinions of <200 users like its the gospel truth, epitomises everything stack overflow isn't. — reach4thelasers2 hours ago
There's a mechanism in place for questions to be moved between Stack Exchange sites automatically. I have flagged for a mod to roll your question back and move it so the existing answers aren't lost. I don't use UX SE myself though, so I can't guarantee that your question will be welcomed there. — Lord Torgamus5 mins ago
"SNAPSHOT ON PS VITA, PS3 THIS FALL" - I was so excited they were finally adding a screenshot feature to PS3, then I read it and found out Snapshot was a game and was very disappointed... -.-
@jadarnel27 Dangit, I was trying to duck you about that invoi... er, uh, I mean, you can just send that bill to, um, the OP of the question that got migrated.
@JeremyBanks @TimStone tl;dr: he's requesting a feature you wouldn't approve of.
@PopularDemand Done and done. Well, I've done my some-kind-of deed for the day.

@balpha Ah, well that's good enough. I was trying to figure out how spin "1% of linking posts are affected" into "you all should care about this", but that's a bit difficult.
Jeff's answer makes it sound like it's just a regex on the post source for things matching the full URL? So I guess the full solution involves only linking things that would be linkified and are of the applicable URL type, if that's still true.
Hmm, speaking of super-serious bugs, my mobile site bug is still pending. Good thing I don't go anywhere that requires me to use my mobile phone for web browsing often.
I don't see any deleted comments, so I can only assume you're making this story up to try and hide the fact that you are even more of a madman than usual today.
I imagine them staring intently at their keyboard while typing, sweat dripping from their brow; then furiously clicking "Post Your Question" as quickly as possible after finishing.
By the way is there any similar web site like stackoverflow.com where I can write with developers very fast? — user989100Mar 16 at 20:58
Now that we've got a lower priority place to shove "somebody suggested an edit to your stuff" notices in the notifications tab, this will go out with the next build.
Whenever an edit is suggested to a post you own, a notification with a link to both the post and the suggested edit will be sent y...
No, I just felt like switching up homonyms of write. I realized 15 seconds too late that I should have added "wheelwright" (well, a misspelling of "wheelwright") as a second job instead of the ambiguous signature.
Aagh! This is so frustrating! I found the actual answer to the problem in this yahoo answers question: uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20101230063018AAaENXu and I can't answer it or leave a comment saying the accepted answer is no longer correct.
The problem is that I think it's too specific to be a good Super User question, so it looks like the secret to using that program will die with me.
@Kalamane It may not be a "great" super user question, but the link that points to has several people commenting that they have the same problem, so it does have some value.
