2:03 PM
@DroidDev leased line at home ?
 
@Bart did you read sense and sensibility?
 
Hi @Bart!
 
!!/alive?
!!/alive?
 
@InfiniteRecursion kinda sorta
 
!!/alive?
 
@TGMCians plz send teh coffee
 
ok
 
One coffee for me too plz
 
@TGMCians sorry for my english, I wrote it wrong, it's the leased line at my company, not from my company. So, its not at home, it's at office only.
 
oh ok. where do you work ?
 
2:05 PM
At office
 
:)
 
waits with Smokey for coffee
 
!!coffee
 
Hi @Vogel, rene's bot isn't online I guess
 
2:08 PM
@InfiniteRecursion meh I survived worse..
 
Do you need rene's bot @Vogel612? :)
 
also IIRC you were more of a tea person??
 
tester in my company is getting on my nerves
 
@Unihedron who me? naaah. After all I am not at office ;)
 
he created a user in app, with app's name itself
and now client is all confused
 
2:09 PM
@DroidDev :P
 
Yes @Vogel, it's true. I am indeed more of a tea person, I asked for coffee because Smokey told TGMCians to get coffee
 
client is asking me, how did the name of app appeared in chat, it should be username, not the app name
 
Wait, wrong primary question. It should be stackoverflow.com/questions/25511528/…
 
@Unihedron flajjed
 
yes you guys believe in spying others :p :D
 
2:12 PM
@DroidDev I named my parrot Parrot.
 
@Unihedron shouldn't it be Parrot parrot?
 
@TGMCians if we have time, then it is fun :D
 
:D
 
@DroidDev I named my teddy Teddy
 
@InfiniteRecursion @Uni wait, let me send this to client and see what he replies
 
2:15 PM
You shouldn't send it as a response from server to client just for fun
 
well.. he replied, you should hang your tester right now, I guess that escalated pretty quickly
@InfiniteRecursion I wasn't talking about server host and app client, I was talking about real client, the person whose app I am making
 
@DroidDev meh, I'd say a kick in the balls should be enough for now..
 
@Vogel612 you wouldn't say that, if you had a face-to-face with the tester himself :P
 
Ahh, from contractor to client. Got it :)
 
@DroidDev depends, if it's a she, then it might get problematic, but else... I am after all 1.9 meters tall..

My question is not exactly same by your suggested question. I want to ask that float data type of .NET and Sql Server is same? decimal data type of .NET and Sql Server is same? If I use float data type on front end then I should also use float data type on back end? — Husain Sanwerwala 16 mins ago
 
@nagates sorry, I was assuming a minimal level of ability to handle basic language constructs. — Vogel612 9 secs ago
 
@LynnCrumbling I don't know. I recommend posting a comment.
 
> "You should add an if-statement to your answer"..
 
2:22 PM
@Unihedron Done (x2)
If the chart on that second link doesn't help him, nothing will.
 
Hey, today's "Active" questions seems to be more clear and useful. The actual programmers must be at work now. :)
 
@Unihedron His comment is incorrect; the very first thing he asked is, "When I check table after call stored procedure value is : 55.549999 I know that if I change float variable and make decimal variable then my problem solved, but I want to know what is the reason behind that."
@Unihedron The question that bummi set as the dup does that pretty well.
 
@LynnCrumbling :P XY Problem
 
@Vogel612 well... it's a she, so....
 
Just wait till a burnination starts @uni, active tabs are worst affected by burninations
 
2:25 PM
@DroidDev darnit.
 
@Unihedron nod
 
@Inf: I know, I'm still seeing newly asked questions in the active tab, so I'm grateful. :)
 
@Vogel612 hey, it was just to mock you :P, tester is a guy, do you want to hang him with me and my client?
 
Quick, answer a few good questions while the active tab is clean.
 
I did, am getting the income too. :)
 
2:27 PM
@DroidDev not yet, not yet. But if he is a repeat offender, feel free to give me a call.
btw. how do I handle comments like the following properly??
Thanks mate. Your answer is the winner to me! Because of your if statement it stopped crashing. I guess the list loses its selection for a brief moment when switching... — Babydead Nov 1 '13 at 19:32
 
@Vogel612 "Thanks.. But why would you choose that handle???"
 
Your conversation is becoming sexist, a contractor, client and tester's discussion and abilities are not related to their gender.
 
@Vogel612 ignore it... It adds insights to the thread
 
gets ready to flag if sexism continues
 
@LynnCrumbling not my answer.
 
2:30 PM
Only flag comments that doesn't add value but conversations as too chatty (such as pls accept ma ans and +1 great and thanks for links). If something has been commenced as an edit, flag it as obsolete. Those are the two reasons I flag old comments, everything else can probably stay.
 
@Unihedron fwiw, I've heard both bar and pipe; both are correct in my mind, but I suppose I've heard pipe a little bit more often.
 
@Unihedron but it's utter (flood of expletives)!
 
Income is a nice choice of words @uni
 
@Vogel612 Feel free to flag it, it's just one declined flag anyway.
 
@Unihedron but as what?
 
2:32 PM
Try too chatty.
Just don't repeat declined flags, mods gets a red header when you do that.
 
@Vogel612 sure :D
 
:) @Inf
 
will tell you next time he does the same
 
Just not "symbol". @Lyn :)
 
@Unihedron absolutely.
 
Next time if the same sexist conversation comes up, I will flag without giving warnings
Hiya mehow :)
 
deja vu at @vba4all
 
Nice name, @vba4all
 
@InfiniteRecursion link pls
 
@InfiniteRecursion Tell me if it's just me, but you seem touchy about this..
 
2:37 PM
3 hours ago, by Bart
@InfiniteRecursion never fully.
mehow @vba4all ... ni hao I mean ...
 
@Bart that explains your nonsense :)
 
@TGMCians hiya
@InfiniteRecursion you're saying that reading it will make me sane?
 
@Bart might have helped in your pre-tavern years, now it's too late. You are beyond recovery.
@TGMCians please scroll up ans read the conversation between droidDev and vogel, I find a contractor discussing his client's gender in a conversation about bugs extremely sexist
and unprofessional too. And yes @vogel, I am touchy about this. It's not a level of conversation that any respectable professional would indulge in on a site for professionals.
 
@InfiniteRecursion Correct me if I am wrong, but the gender of the client was never part of the discussion.
and the rest is a bad to mediocre discussion joke about the tester's gender and possible consequences opposed to hanging him.
 
@Vogel612 I just reread it... it appears to be about an assumption regarding the gender of the tester.
 
2:50 PM
@vogel: I will flag and mods will decide. Discussion over a discussion never leads anywhere.
 
@InfiniteRecursion Additionally this site is not only for professionals
@InfiniteRecursion I think it would help me find the line that I seem to need to draw..
I don't see myself as a professional programmer, even though I "live" off it..
 
I shall not indulge into that discussion either @vogel.
 
especially because I never had contact with real clients.
@InfiniteRecursion Fine by me, but then you can't reasonably expect me to learn fast, where the line is.
 
afk; meeting
 
No problem @vogel :)

@InfiniteRecursion hmm I see
don't worry :)
 
3:07 PM
@vba4all: Nice to see you writing on SO again, and your site moved :)
@Bart: your sock starred my message along with your messages with a fat finger and put me on the star wall too...dispose this sock!
 
@InfiniteRecursion my socks don't have fingers, your argument is invalid.
 
@Bart: I corrected my statement. Dispose the sock!
 
Socks will disappear on their own @InfiniteRecursion.
Usually in the drier
 
@Anna just stumbled over a repost of this in MSE, and agree it looks really bad for the thousands of annonymous visitors. Can you work your magic on Jin to have a look? :)
 
will do
 
3:28 PM
But......you have such a vast collection of socks, how do you even manage to notice their disappearance @Bart?
 
It usually becomes clear when I show up with two dissimilar socks @InfiniteRecursion. All my socks come in pairs.
 
A pair of glasses is always a pair despite being alone, so how can your glassy socks get unpaired?
 
Monocles.
 
starts looking for monocles on SE
 
But do keep this mention of socks somewhat quiet. Anna is watching ....
 
3:37 PM
notices that Anna is wearing identical glasses too...(hides)
 
/me also
 
notices that TGMCians is wearing identical glasses too....(hides again)

notices that I'm wearing glasses too. walks away.
 
notices that glasses have taken over the tavern....(slowly paddles away)

@Unihedron but you're not a duck
 
@Sam it's not illegal to swim yet

@Unihedron it is for glasses
 
the key part of this sentence is "yet"

Q: The question structure of StackExchange sites is driving me insane!

JoeI want to know how a question like Are automatic log outs standard with some Windows Server updates? considered off topic. I want to know from a coder's perspective how updates may affect VB.Net web coding. Do I have to spell that out every time I post a question that may involve more than just...

^@lostsock: your active voting makes users rant on meta
 
4:36 PM
^^
 
Hiya @Frank
 
Hiya
 
You are right, eyeball left :)
Also, eccentric changed the image.
 
@InfiniteRecursion Did he?
I don't see his profile.
 
Yes, he did.
 
4:40 PM
@InfiniteRecursion posted a comment.
 
@InfiniteRecursion Oh, found it.
 
:)
 
Sam
:)
 
@Unihedron Oh you are, are you?
:P
 
@Frank I quote from the question :P
It is of such insightedness I cried
 
@Unihedron I know. I was being facetious.
 
glares at @uni and salvages the answer
 
5:26 PM
Oh you're so kind :) Thank you!!

Just looking over my points. :P Bye now!
 
Why are you pointing at the star wall @Inf?
 
@Unihedron good night
 
night night
 
@Unihedron cya again
 
Just to break the pattern @Frank. I pointed in a random direction.
@Anna are you here?

@InfiniteRecursion what's up?

@Anna Thanks!
 
Thanks @Anna
 
I didn't do anything... but you're welcome!
 
@AnnaLear Someone did
 
6:03 PM
I'll take the blame praise.
 
praises Anna
@InfiniteRecursion you delete everything you say.
 
Not everything is worth keeping permanently in the transcript, and mods and devs can see deleted messages too, so as long as the person it was meant for can read it, it isn't a problem.
 
@InfiniteRecursion Yeah, don't do that. If it's not worth being in the transcript, don't say it.
 
sorry for the inconvenience my deleted message caused @Frank. Ok @Anna, will follow that.
 
@InfiniteRecursion Oh yes, I'm soooooo offended. :(
No, all's good.
@InfiniteRecursion I apologize if I've made you feel bad.
gives Inf very nice flowers
 
6:39 PM
LPT: Doing calculus homework last is the way. Makes you happy.
 
@bjb568 As long as you do it.
Hey @SilentKiller! I like the new avatar.
 
@Frank thanks.. :) hows you..??
 
@SilentKiller doin' all right. You?
 
@InfiniteRecursion ? I didn't do any actions on that post? I wasn't even logged in within the last 4 hours? confused
 
@Frank with grace of the Allah all fine what about you.?? Hope all well.
 
6:49 PM
I think there has only been one meta post that was started where I was a close voter of or something and it wasn't a rant. I always check to see if I was involved in the post, but I like never am, which is both surprising and disappointing
 
@SilentKiller I am always doing well. :)
not sure Allah is all that graceful
 
If we have some critical conditions it doesn't mean we don't have grace of God.
Everyone having some crucial time but it will end
 
@SilentKiller :) Very true, but you can't confuse Allah and God.
I was blessed with an awesome immune system, so I never get sick. The downside - I'm the one who has to clean up when everyone else is. :/
 
@Frank you need to stop breathing in the CO2, it's a pollutant I hear
 
Nopes i dnt. Some call me SK some Sil even some with my real name it doesn't change my real identity. Name may change...
 
6:56 PM
@lostsock Actually, if you are a plant, you need it in order to grow/live.
 
Night! Cya... :)
 
good night guys
 
Sam
Good night.
 
In fact, they have special CO2 rooms in which they raise plants to sell, plants grow so much faster in high CO2 levels :)
Good night!

meh. I've only got 286 priv in motor
I've left a comment, but her post needs to be edited to be useful.
 
@LynnCrumbling I should get active on there.
 
I don't want to bump troll posts
 
I can't edit either.
 
It should be deleted...

Q: How do comment @replies work?

Gnome How do I respond to a specific user when entering my comment? Will they be notified? What do people mean when they talk about "pinging" another user? Related: How do I view my recent replies? Return to the FAQ index

 
Oh.. wow..
@rene thanks for that
@rene I always assumed... you see where that got me.

My suspicion is that he'll read it. I'll delete the comment in a day or so either way.

I'm lost in reading posts on mechanics.se...
 
@rene I have no idea why I'm not active there.
Oh, actually probably because I don't have time...

Yeah, it is cool, with all those pictures...
Seeing the popular tags: don't buy a Honda...
 
@rene I like honda.

Anyone from UK/Scotland? Thoughts on the ballot?
 
Sam
@hichris123 (I'm half Scottish, live near London though.) My thoughts, in great depth, are; "don't know, don't care." (Not meaning to sound rude at all, it's just my view of the general situation.)
 
@Sam Oh, cool. I have no idea on this as us Americans have only gotten interested yesterday. ;P
 
Sam
lol, it's been talked about for months. It's getting mind numbing now...
The only thing I would hope to see, is that Scotland stays away from the EU (but that's unlikely to happen).
 
7:50 PM
I generally think it is not a wise move, but now that Westminster woke up so late in the game makes me hope the Yes voters win. Just to learn those politicians where the real power is...
 
Sam
Meh, if the politicians want Scot to stay, they'll find a way.
 
If that happen I hope they reenact Braveheart
 
How does the UK keep the media from reporting exit poll numbers? The most I've found was a small sentence on the BBC saying that they aren't reporting exit numbers until polls close. Here in the US, we'd have every network and grandmother making predictions and they would have been doing it since the first person left a poll booth this morning.
 
The BBC was accused of not being neutral...
I guess they don't want to get burned...
 
Sam
This is the precise reason why I stick to the sidelines.
 
7:57 PM
@rene But I can't find polling numbers from anyone.
 
@Sam wise...
@Andy The media is controlled by the state...
 
Sam
^
 
@rene Ah. Did not know that. world view expands a bit
 
There can be some general agreement that not a single media will publish exit polls
 
@Andy I thought the Guardian was doing some polling.
Aha!
> When polls close, usually, we then get an exit poll that gives us at least an indication of how people have voted. Not this time. My colleague James Ball explains why: neither the BBC nor any other media outlet has paid to get one done:
> Why no exit poll for such a momentous and consequential vote? The first possibility is that no one thought the vote would be close, and so deemed it as not interesting enough to be worthy of the spend.

More likely, hopefully, is that the broadcasters were afraid of the consequences of a poll being wrong: if the BBC spends four hours discussing a poll that’s 51-49 in favour of yes, and when the final votes come in the result is no, deputy heads may roll amid the backlash.

In reality broadcasters may have been too cautious: campaigns are very familiar with arguing against exit polls they

10:32 PM
:2424068 That's not a format Zephyr checks right now. I'm working on a threading error that ChatExchange is throwing. Once I figure that out, I'll work on all formats it should be checking.
 
@Andy I realized you did it manually. ;)
Threading error?
 
@hichris123 Manually? No, anything Zephyr posts is automatic.
 
@Andy Manual as in you typed it into the Sandbox.
 
@hichris123 I keep getting errors on this line: github.com/Manishearth/ChatExchange/blob/master/chatexchange/…
@hichris123 Oh. Gotcha. Yes.
 
@Andy Huh. What error? What version of Python?
 
10:36 PM
@hichris123 2.7.8. I'll post an error in Charcoal next time I get it
 
@Andy ok.
 
@bjb568 They meant crack instead of hack, too.
 
@Unihedron! Where's my code? ;P
 
I still haven't figured out how to get the code yet. I have no clue how the package woks, but it doesn't have code that compiles.
