LyustenHow get program name from menu - by package name or another path... com.opera.browser.classic - need basic name: Opera Classic And also for other.

@animuson just delete it... the accepted/most upvoted answer link is broken
 
@Braiam Eclipse is decent for Android stuff, right?

@Doorknob Decent, sure. I've played with Studio... dunno which I like better yet.
 
tempting...
 
4:02 PM
I should really start learning Android. Might as well put all that Java knowledge to good use. :P
@ThiefMaster Go right ahead! :P
 
@ThiefMaster You have to add the Android tag to it too!
 
oh it's an android question.. i thought that guy is talking about the desktop browser - hence

A: Can I make money with my Android Engine or should I focus on game-making?

Longerianwow, great work! Try to sell it to game companies rather than personal developers, or try to make money with game rather than engine itself.

How do these answers get so many upvotes? o.o
 
4:03 PM
@ThiefMaster I know... what is this start menu in Android? :P

Can't we simply synonymize and ?

err.... WHAT!?
 
@animuson How did that question even stay around that long?

@Bart and while we're at it ;)

Q: Monkey Islandish Mobile/Web App Develop Using a Game Engine?

SOMAI am trying to make a graphical point-and-click adventure app that can be downloaded as a mobile app, or run natively in a browser.

I'll need some of my cv for the queue...
 
-1 for dumping code without explanation. "Do this and this and it will work" is not good advice to give for a learner/beginner. You're encouraging him/her to copy/paste code arbitrarily without actually understanding it. — Doorknob 12 secs ago
srsly, that made it to hot questions? :/
 
@rene I know... :(
 
I wonder if that was shared somewhere to get that attention

@Doorknob do you mean the Answer Overflow Positive Feedback Loop?
 
Ok, I think I'm done deleting things for a while...
My delete button is getting worn out.
 
@animuson use the mouse, then ;-)
 
Just start a fundraiser then @animuson, so we can chip in for one of those big red buttons for you to smash.

Got to go, got to go, got to go right now, got to go, got to go, got to go.
 
@animuson So you're tired of deleting, eh? Then go close the questions!

@hichris123 I casted some of my cv on this

What's a good tool for ripping DVDs and Blu-Rays to my computer?
I can't find my Nero, though their tool probably won't work correctly anyways.
 
@animuson Try Virtual CD
Oh wait, it's not freeware.
 
@GnomeSlice he never said "freeware"
 
@animuson Vidcoder seems cool.
@JanDvorak I just assumed it was implied.
 
@GnomeSlice good point

Aw man, threesjs is gone
At least I have it on my tablet...
 
currently watching: people in an airport
 
@GnomeSlice loads for me
@GnomeSlice rules pls, touch support pls
 
@JanDvorak Weird, doesn't for me.
 
4:42 PM
@Doorknob Is anyone picking their nose?
 
@JoshCrozier I can never finish that one
 
I dunno if threesjs has touch support.
 
s/nose/partners/
@GnomeSlice swiping doesn't work for me
 
@JanDvorak Guess not then. The original game is on touch devices though. And you should check it out, it's great.
Also the music is really catchy
 
4:44 PM
@GnomeSlice is there a symbian version?
 
@JanDvorak I don't even know what that is.
It's on iOS and Android
 
^ I get the same error.
 
@GnomeSlice have you tried again in a few moments?
 
Yes.
 
hmm... Europe?
 
4:45 PM
@JanDvorak Me? Canada.
 
@GnomeSlice I'd buy an android phone, but WP would push it out of the market immediately.

Q: Why does backspace go back a page? This behavior is so frustrating!

Aaron HallWhen using a browser, like Firefox, I appreciate that I can easily navigate my tab history with Alt+← (for back) and Alt+→ (for forward.) That makes perfectly good sense to me, and I've used that keyboard shortcut for the longest time. I frequently do text input in web pages. On some pages (but ...

@GnomeSlice 1200, first try
 
@JanDvorak Not bad. My highest on my tablet is like 2,800
 
@JanDvorak I've been using Ubuntu for the past 5 years, I did the last 2/3rds of my MBA with it too. I've kissed Windows goodbye for my personal computing. :)
 
Wow. The tetris is hard.

No.
 
@hichris123 deleted
but visible
 
@JanDvorak Visible to you?
 
yep; I'm 10k
 
Ah, right.
I can still see it since it's my audit.
 
5:04 PM
Finally through security. :-/
 
@hichris123 Someone voted to undelete that answer.
 
@JoshCrozier Probably the OP.
 
@JoshCrozier possibly the poster
 
Ohh...
 
They see "undelete" and think they can unilaterally undelete it, not realizing that they need two more people to agree with them.
 
5:06 PM
We will welcome that OP on meta soon?
 
@animuson has any post ever been undeleted by consensus?
 
Plenty of posts have been undeleted by the community.
 
thanks
have there been any posts deleted by community, then undeleted by community?
 
@JanDvorak The OP deleted it.
 
@JanDvorak Pretty much any high-scoring question that is closed.

I guess the 2048 question is still open?
 
@Jan Which one?

Q: What is the optimal algorithm for the game 2048?

nitish712I have recently stumbled upon the game 2048. You need to merge similar tiles by moving them in any of the four directions. Similarly, I mean tiles with the same value. After each move, a new tile appears at random empty position with value of either 2 or 4. The game terminates when all the boxes ...

On a related note, I beat 2048 on mobile but can't seem to on a computer. :-P
 
@Doorknob O_O
 
I have noticed there's plenty of deleted answers with positive votes.
 
5:16 PM
@animuson Wait, that just votes to undelete it? I thought they had to flag it to get it undeleted.
 
The OP can vote to undelete it. It's just not unilateral like they expect it to be.
 
@hichris123 That's the case if it's deleted by a moderator.

I wish APIs wouldn't return "27:00" for a hh:mm field :|
 
@TimWolla unclear, possibly an audit

@TimWolla actually, 1:120 of the next day

I wish my TV supported AdBlock
 
@JanDvorak Use an AppleTV? :P
 
5:48 PM
I find it funny how the guy that made adblock use to be a Google employee in the Adsense department.
 
@JoshCrozier Maybe middle fingers didn't express his feelings well enough.
 
I also find it strange that Google allows users to download adblock..
 
@JoshCrozier well, otherwise they'd drive people to firefox
 
or even worse, IE.
 
I thought they did forbid the AdBlock extension on Chrome for a while.

Is it acceptable to copy the idea from another answer to improve yours?
 
@AmalMurali you should attribute your sources, always
 
@JanDvorak: "As shown in @XYZ's answer" isn't enough?
 
also, consider deleting if your answer would become a clone of someone else's
@AmalMurali shall do

Excluded

Tried to initiate chat but couldn't find a way. But then that's definitive. Thanks.
 
@Doorknob Where are you?
 
@hichris Stuck in an airport.
 
@Doorknob Duh. I mean Texas? Or somewhere else?
 
So now they say that the pilot is on a different plane and he has to get here but he can't and it might be a few hours until we depart and then blah :-/
@hichris Colorado
 
@Doorknob Ah.

There's a person sitting near me, and I'm watching her play 2048 on her laptop :-P with almost no strategy

@animuson Uh... wat?
 
New status on the board is delayed until 1:30 but I highly doubt that :-/
 
@Doorknob Then go flag stuff!
 
@hichris123 Have you not seen The Fresh Prince of Belaire? What's wrong with you?

That's hard on mobile. ;-)
 
@animuson Nope, haven't. What is it?
@Doorknob Nah, not really...

@Doorknob You can help her!
 
@Tim But it's fun to watch people fail! :-P

@Doorknob That's mean. Not everybody can be as smart as you ;)
 
Well I have only succeeded in getting to 2048 once. :-P
 
@Doorknob Luck or strategy?
 
Both?

Oh yeah, I made the world a better place. On more person using PDO now
 
@Doorknob I know. I don't get why they would do that...
 
Damn it. Windows should indicate when you plug in a charger that cannot actually charge the laptop.

They're doing weird stuff outside now
 
@Doorknob I think it's called "rain"

Lol, no, the yellow... thingy
 
@JanDvorak My Android phone can somehow detect that you're not using an authentic charging cable. I tried plugging it in with my friend's charger once and it popped up a notice along the lines of "This is not an original charger, it may take longer to charge your device."
 
Also, snow
 
@Doorknob That's a person inside a safety thingy.
How do you call that in English?
 
7:11 PM
@animuson as long as it still charges, I guess that's fine
 
No it's not, at least I think so, since I don't see anybody inside it
 
@TimWolla I believe "thingy" is the most accurate translation of whatever you were thinking of
 
perhaps it detects the exact VA curves
 
A wild @BenCollins appears!

Looks like 1:30 is just as much nonsense as the previous predictions
 
@TimWolla where I'm from, we call that a move theater employee uniform =P
 
@JanDvorak The silver version of that achievement is "Avoid being hammered by a mod for 30 days because you beat them to closing a question." Good luck!
 
@Doorknob k, I'll look at your flight now. :P
 
7:14 PM
@animuson I won't even ask about the gold

Way to many SE tabs open here. I need more screens!

@Doorknob Gold version? Become a mod before the mod hammers you.

@Josh Hahaha :-D
 
@JoshCrozier That's why I linked the comment above.
Lightness surely does not know that those answers are not welcome :)
 
@TimWolla any place that takes user input to construct a sql query could be a potential vulnerability
in the worst, most trivial case, you have a website that does something like:
 
7:19 PM
@BenCollins Yeah. It is possible to wreak havoc in the database, but hacking the server?!
 
mysite.com/q='SELECT * FROM MYTABLE;'
@TimWolla you can do all sorts of things from SQL, especially from a privileged account
 
I also love declined - no evidence / deleted by community
 
@TimWolla xp_cmdshell, for example, executes a shell command: technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175046.aspx

so mysite.com/q?="EXEC xp_cmdshell 'dir *.exe'"
 
I am aware how SQL injection works, but I was not aware of the possibility to execute external programs in certain database engines.
@Doorknob I love the comments on it, though.
 
And a fourth flight cancelled and a fifth one... which is mine :-(
 
@Doorknob rofl It's in the LQP queue. :P
 
@hichris Haha, yes, the canned comment is quite amusing :-D

@Doorknob done
 
Nuked. :D
 
Hrm? Are NAA flags pushing to LQP already? There's not a VLQ flag on that post...
 
@animuson According to Shog they already did. And the herustics probably caught it, too.
 
Is it somehow possible to use code in a list?
 
Darn it; I didn't have time to post this comment

7:26 PM
21 hours ago, by hichris123
@Shog9 I wasn't sure. Thought it was weighted... So what you're saying is if someone flags something NAA or VLQ, it might end up there?
 
:-P
 
@Doorknob *descendeth
 
@hichris123 If it gets caught by the heuristics, we normally get a "low quality answer score [#]" flag on the post, which is listed as a VLQ.
 
Huh.
21 hours ago, by Shog9
@hichris123 right
 
@animuson That does include code-only/mostly code answers, right?
 
7:28 PM
^ Like that.
 
That shows up in the 10k tools, right @animuson?
 
It should. shrugs
It didn't used to give all that information. It used to just be a regular VLQ flag that was just cast by Community.
 
"Low quality answer score [n]" is extremely common on PPCG, and is usually promptly met with "invalid flags (8)".
 
Flagged -1'd dv'd
 
7:33 PM
What does that even mean?
 
Lol
Same for that
So I might have to stay in Colorado for another day. :-(

@Doorknob That's my name! :P
 
Indeed :-P
 
7:40 PM
did you swipe an unknown word?
 
No, I typed it and it tried to suggest
Well, it offered to add it to my dictionary, but when I typed backspace space it suggested
:-P
You can also tell I use PPCG on this phone a lot:
 
mine doesn't suggest when I type
 
@Jan Are you sure it's Swype and not just a keyboard that has a swiping feature?
 
@Doorknob yep. Swype for Symbian, installed by me.
 
Maybe a different version then, idk
This one is also easy to type emoticons on, ex. Swyping from j -> , -> p (: -> - -> P) gives :-P
 
7:45 PM
@Doorknob I can swipe emoticons
 
My favorite thing about the upgrade to KitKat is that they removed the image replacements for emoticons in the default Messages app. Omg was that annoying...
 
Maybe it's a setting
