@Unihedron more #unirants pls - Unsung hero in my first month on SO
@JanDvorak nuked
 
@InfiniteRecursion See, that's exactly why they shouldn't put "25% of more" as part of the requirement. Just make "10 or more zero-score accepted answers" already. Votes indicate usefulness of the answer, and by the time you understand how to answer properly, you'd stop getting tumbleweed drafts and get a higher Profit! ratio. I just happened to learn faster, and lost the chance for the badge.
Oh well, at least I'm closer to Steward than I thought.
 
@InfiniteRecursion "I ♡ coding, colors and books" so your ideal birthday present is a colouring book? :)
 
@Stijn Ideally a book about how to add syntax coloring to the code. I actually wrote that book just then. ;)
 
@Stijn Yes, indeed.
@Unihedron Please gift it to me on my birthday
 
@InfiniteRecursion You're the enthusiast Stack Overflow user! :) But I have two bronze tag badges, so I win. :D
@InfiniteRecursion It's written in such dialect which would probably drive anyone who attempts to comprehend it mad.
Hi @ita, this user might need your help, he's struggling with javafx:
in RegEx on Stack Overflow Chat, 37 secs ago, by HamZa
@Unihedron I am struggling with background threading with it. Basically I have made a GUI and I've created a server socket, I can receive messages but the second thread doesn't seem to work (the one for sending messages). I'm basically searching for a link/tutorial/talk/whatever to debug this further
 
9:13 AM
@Unihedron you win :(
 
Well, since some time ago awesomeness(tag badges) > awesomeness(gold badges), so. ;)

@Uni Btw, I've had an idea that should hopefully increase the filters' overall accuracy. Currently, we have a white/black list, if a term is found in the whitelist then the post is ignored, if a term is found in the blacklist the post's "score" is increased (to calc the accuracy percentage) then the post is reported. My idea is to have a scoring system for the whitelist too, so, instead of ignoring the post, it'll simply deduct X from it's total score.
And I also plan on adding an analyse command, which will inspect the post for possible terms that could be added to the existing filters, of course the current users with command access will be able to use this when it's implemented.
 
looks good

A: jQuery validation plugin: accept only alphabetical characters?

user2915479Read the question carefully. What, specifically, is the question asking for? Make sure your answer provides that – or a viable alternative. The answer can be “don’t do that”, but it should also include “try this instead”. Any answer that gets the asker going in the right direction is helpful, but...

 
@Unihedron: I'd say that for all of the last 3 answers

A: What's the origin of asking interviewees to manually parse a string as an int?

user151323I never heard of this interview question. But looks like one of those many quite simple questions designed to check if the person is able to think.

Great answer
 
with 8 uv. :P

Are they really that bad to the point a nuke is necessary? o_O
I'm tempted to poke sam but he's having a lot of fun... :p
 
@Unihedron no, closing is enough. They were the old off-topic questions that got missed, and the old cv's are going to expire soon. I voted on them couple of days ago.
 
@InfiniteRecursion Oh, I see. As a note, I think close votes only tick to expiring after they reach >100 views.
 
@Unihedron I am poked Jan and I felt like I am becoming hichris :P
All closed, thanks :)
@Unihedron Is it? then I will check the view count from now on
 
11:55 AM
Yes... I'll learn from you and link a post :)

Q: Why do close votes expire?

ripper234I nominated this question to be closed as a dup. I see that two other people upvoted my comment, so they might have voted to close it as well. Now, we didn't gather enough votes, and all close votes expired ... and I can't re-vote to close. What is the motivation behind expiring close votes .....

> If the question has less than 100 views, the votes never expire
If the question has more than 100 views, close votes expire at a rate of one every 4 days.
 
@Unihedron Pham is keeping @Sam busy :D
 
:D
Some of the low view questions aren't bothered with and never get traffic hits, it's enough if you kick it into the queue with one CV and let the reviewers take care of it, but if it's severely off-topic and won't get closed sooner enough (new questions that are attracting spam already), then get it closed like you're doing. :D
 
@Unihedron lolz, look at this, people want to test me chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/18982005#18982005

@uni done
@Braiam need 1 more cv
 
12:28 PM
@InfiniteRecursion everybody beat me to it
 
@Sam maybe we should add burnination-requests to the tags of SO, since, you know, bad tags are normally accompanied of bad questions ;( (also, we follow Shog guidance about tags)
 
@Braiam uv'd
@InfiniteRecursion closed, closed, and closed.
 
Sam
@Braiam That's actually where I got most of SO's tags from ;)
 
Oh, cool
 
@Braiam closed
 
12:32 PM
@Braiam We're looking over that. If you find where a tag should be added, tell a user with command access to the bot, or submit a PR.
 
Sam
Same with SU.
 
12:44 PM
The tag-wiki for seems to be obsolete. (For example, it is no longer possible to trigger rep recalc.) However, I do not know enough about this to correct the information given there.

@LynnCrumbling nice pic on SO.
 
@SilentKiller we did an article that required a publicity shot at some point, and our in-house graphic artist played with the image a bit. I look a little too smug. hah.

Q: ActiveX registered as Media Type Player fails under IFrame

The player works fine when you browse directly to content that matches the media type, but fails to load the control completely if the URL resides i...

Worse yet, this thing may even still qualify for tumbleweed.

You can crash their dream of that by downvoting, @Lynn
 
@JanDvorak Their website is cool though.
 
Hope somebody snipes in at the last second and provides some sort of answer. I need to get the solution working :(
 
Favourite it, that's what it's for.
 
It's just too niche... There's not many people that have written activex controls, and even fewer that have had to deal with Iframes..
I'm going to end up opening a case with MS.

Also I love your avatar :)
 
Yours is better, it's artful and enduring. :) Heard of MS buying MC yet?
@PeterJ Flagged, thanks!
 
@Unihedron Yes. Luckily I own the PC version. I heard Microsoft gobbles projects and dumps the non Microsoft platforms quickly.
 
@Rainbolt Well I researched a bit after the news and found out that they ditched Skype API since they bought Skype.
