probably because of the odd character in your username

or hm, usernames are not unique so maybe you have to choose one for the url somewhere?

@NullPoiиteя: go to "privacy settings", you can specify the username for the url there

Y r u on so many chats ThickMaster, are they your clones or just the decoys. Every chatroom I visited within the past 24 hours (like 3 of them), I see a piece of you. Are you a bot sent into the chatrooms to collect our valueable information?

@balpha If I may beckon you: chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/9805021#9805021

interesting, I'll have a look

IMDB is not going to happen, though.

Yeah, it was proposed as a general way, since a majority of the requested sites use OpenGraph

But there did seem to be a trend (in these meta questions) to only support one-boxing for sites which are universally helpful

It's still going to be enabled on a per-site basis, but OG may make that easy

> from our FTP sites

SERIOUSLY?

/me checks the calendar.. yeah, 2013

oh, sorry, forgot about that. WTFPL good?

Also, if you can tell me what DOM parser you use internally, I can port it

GitHub really needs an option to specify a project's license if there's no LICENSE file. I'm sure 99,99% of all projects with no license file are not supposed to be All Rights Reserved but more like WTFPL

And I'm just waiting for some German asshole lawyer to start sending C&D letters (which cost you money in Germany) to people who fork projects with no license file ;x

Added the license

@ThiefMaster hello

uh, hi

user4035

@ThiefMaster I asked a question: stackoverflow.com/questions/16916271/…

But after some conversation in the comments

I was able to find a partial solution to it

now I have another question (more narrow, then the original)

should I edit this question or create a new narrow one?

and answer the original myself

if it's not a totally new question you could just edit it

user4035

ok, thx

Are any developers around? Are Community managers?

@Seth I'm here, and I'm a developer. You probably mean SE developers

@Seth what's up?

You'll find that direct questions get much better answers in the future tho ;-)

'lo AnnaLear! /me waves

I was wondering if you guys have the ability to kill a tag outright.

Which tag?

9:09 PM

Some of us do, yeah.

At this point it's this one: askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/disable

@AnnaLear Which ones may I ask? :D

@Seth any community managers or devs, and mods can at least make them disappear within 24 hours

It depends on the egregiousness of the tag, and mods always have a direct line to the Community team for crisis situations

@jcolebrand Well I talked to a mod and he was of the opinion he would have to manually retag them all...

@Seth there's a process to make them disappear ;-)

I'm asking first 'cause I was going to create a feature request to make it easier.. But I wanted to better understand who can do what to tags first ;)

9:17 PM

@Seth Destroyed.

Apparently I'm one of them now. :P

@jcolebrand not all comm managers have dev access

@AnnaLear Thanks!

@seth you guys have a few things in [untagged] that need love: askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/untagged

and by love I mean tags

I'll have to look at those..

@AnnaLear no, but "if it's egregious enough" you can get it resolved PDQ

9:43 PM

ok, @jco - what's this "PDQ" shit?

@Shog9 do you mean you're unfamiliar with the phrase?

yeah

also, I just saw it posted twice in two different rooms within about a minute

so apparently it's suddenly a "thing"

I DON'T LIKE CHANGE

I assure you it isn't sudden

It's been a "thing" since before I was born.

Ever watch any episodes of M*A*S*H?

Sherman T Potter used to use it all the time

Pretty Damn Quick

ahhh

well, shucks... Just say that then!

@Shog9 you just haven't lived in the south enough

9:46 PM

yeah, I'll agree to that

PDQ

This is a three-letter abbreviation which means "pretty damned (or darn) quick(ly)" but may refer more specifically to the following list of products or services available: * PDQ Food Stores, a convenience store chain in the American Midwest * PDQ (game show), an American television game show which aired from 1966 to 1969 * PDQ Chocolate, a flavored drink mix * PDQ Manufacturing, a car wash manufacturer * PDQ terminal, terminals which process credit and debit card transactions * Prose Descriptive Qualities, a role-playing game system * PDQ, a code name of specific models of the Apple Powe...

I just honestly thought that since it was something from before I was born, that most folks knew what it meant
