@slhck The game was fun. Good stuff

@slhck When I've done the game, I could start a stream where people get to decide what I do...
Perhaps download some SC2 replays of pros and cast them, show my own 1v1 games when I'm a bit better, play some team games for fun with (european) viewers.
A lot of possibilities, depends on the moment and what the viewers want. As long as it's fun to do or makes people better at Gaming! :)

The hardest thing on SU is asking a question properly.
 
lol
true, but thats why editing and reviewing exists ;)
 
Good morning
 
morning, @DanielBeck
(Hmm it seems DXTORY may be able to limit the FPS... INTREDASTING)
the good thing in free2play games that I can even write a DXhack to enforce my fps cap. If they ban me, I'll just reg a new account.
YAAAY it works!
 
10:43 AM
@TomWijsman I like it. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
Amazon still hasn't delivered.

11:50 AM
Good morning @slhck
 
hi @DanielBeck — ah… "morning"… I'm already out for lunch in a bit :)

1:24 PM
@DanielBeck: Traffic for Skyrim on Gaming.SE is sick...
 
@TomWijsman Wow, not bad.
And it clearly is more popular than MW3
 
@DanielBeck: Yeah, I'm also getting tired of clicking "not an answer" there...
 
@TomWijsman Me too
3 in the last 5 minutes
And I only have 10 flags there :(
@TomWijsman It's probably just that your answers are good. I like the one on cleared dungeons.
 
1:54 PM
@DanielBeck: Yeah, linked a lot of the others in that one.

how does that work? :D
 
Do you guys have a Kindle reader?
 
Nope, not here
 
If yes, how do you install an application from the store? O.o
I would like to install/buy this one: http://www.amazon.com/Notepad/dp/B004LSLN0I/ref=cm_lmf_tit_7
But I just can't figure out the how...
 
3:30 PM
@RandolfRichardson Does everyone's review statistics (shown on the bottom-right of my screen shot) look like this, mostly with zeros? I've been reviewing many questions, but just not seeing the statistics getting updated.
 
looks fine to me
 
@slhck Where did you get those from? I'm seeing 0 and 1 on mine (as per my screen shot).
 
so you might want to file a bug report?
@RandolfRichardson These are mine ;)
 
@slhck Yeah, perhaps I'll just post something in meta then. Thanks for sharing yours though, at least I can see that those statistics are supposed to work.
It probably has something to do with the recent account merger screw-up.
 
@RandolfRichardson Yeah that could very well be the issue here … maybe the statistics are logged to nowhere
 
3:38 PM
@slhck Logged to nowhere? That's both funny and disappointing at the same time! =O
 
@RandolfRichardson Well, I can imagine that somewhere in your user account there's still some problems with the previous merge – but it's a pity you don't get the stats
 
@slhck Although I'm pretty sure I've reviewed hundreds of posts, I would like to know what I've done. If it's a matter of a very slow database update process in the back-end, then your statistics could be lagging behind too. (I'll post a link to my meta question as soon as it's finished.)
 
@RandolfRichardson You might want to ask on MSO, as @waffles will probably have to look into that, and he's more active there
 
@slhck I just posted a description of this problem, with a screen shot, in meta: meta.superuser.com/questions/3692/…
@slhck What is MSO? Is it another chat channel? I assume it's not short for MS-Office.
 
@RandolfRichardson meta.stackoverflow.com
 
3:51 PM
@slhck I don't have an account on stackoverflow.com.
 
@RandolfRichardson I think you don't need to, it's the network-wide Meta, it's not only about Stack Overflow
Basically, every feature change, feature request, and bug report can be posted there as well
 
@RandolfRichardson Uh oh, the messed up merge account named of "Complicated see bio" is showing up when I browse to that web site. I'm going to stay away from there because I don't want my account to get re-merged incorrectly and be all screwed up again. =(
I guess the merge wasn't fixed completely. Hmm.
This is probably not good.
 
Oh, then that's probably the reason something's wrong

@slhck Oh yay! Lucky me.
@RandolfRichardson I just added a comment with a warning not to move my question over to meta.stackoverflow.com, just in case this causes another merge operation that might screw things up for me again: meta.superuser.com/questions/3692/…
Thanks for your help, @slhck -- especially for helping me to see that statistics do normally work.
 
@RandolfRichardson Sure – I hope they'll sort things out for you

Epic fail. Linux Mint, with an EXTREMELY ugly theme.
 
@Shiki Oh my, that really looks ugly
 
evening all
 
hi @DMA57361!
 
hey @DMA57361
 
 
1 hour later…
5:44 PM
haha, they should really rename Super User to "Windows Backup recommendation tool site" @DanielBeck
 
@slhck Am I right or am I right? It's the same question that has been asked dozens of times, isn't it?
 
@DanielBeck it gets asked at least a couple of times a week, definitely
 
@slhck Although I have to admit, none of my Windows VMs is backed up.
 
> Edit your question to ask for recommendations for good drive image software, preferably Free ones. […] – Moab 1 min ago
 
And it looks like Windows Backup can't backup the whole system
 
5:49 PM
that's a bad advice :/
@DanielBeck What does it back up, then? Only the user's files?
 
@slhck It seems so from the 53 second web video I watched. It's not high on my agenda though as all real data on my Windows machines is in revision control anyway.
 
That's the way to go :)
 
@slhck Why am I not surprised about that comment's byline?
 
oh, now he edited the question
that's even worse now
 
@slhck Are you rolling back?
 
5:53 PM
@DanielBeck It doesn't matter, don't want to get into an argument there. I've stated my position and the Q's gonna be closed
 
@slhck I <3 Meta discussions
 
haha, go for it!
No seriously, that wasn't good editing etiquette IMHO.
 
@slhck Moab's change or my rollback?
 
no, his change
 
@slhck Since Meta isn't good for actually changing anything substantial, the entertainment value is all that's left…
 
5:57 PM
especially the part about "are there any recommendations for Disk Image software's that you use?"
and "which one is best in your experience and why?"
that's exactly what we didn't want
@DanielBeck I wonder when they'll ever change the FAQ
 
@slhck I'd say never but that bet is difficult to win
@slhck Btw, have you tried implementing my Time Machine/Growl suggestion?
 
@DanielBeck Not yet. Doesn't the Watch directive stop watching if the file is actually deleted?
 
@slhck It seems you're right. How useless is that? You could watch the parent directory though, as the files are recreated...
 
@DanielBeck So my guess was right. Yeah, I think one could do that.
 
6:15 PM
@slhck Testing right now
Works
With /private/var/db as WatchPaths entry.
 
Ah, that's nice! Add it to the answer if you like …
Since this has been bugging me as well:

Q: What should we do with those ever-recurring "image entire hard drive" questions?

slhckI think every week or so, we get the occasional "How do I copy my entire hard drive?" question. The answers are always the same, in the sense of suggesting software like Acronis TrueImage or Clonezilla. Recent example: Image an entire computer Possible duplicates – yes, I'm guilty myself, I ans...

@slhck Amen to that. thanks for posting it
 
Why on earth would a university not provide BibTeX entries for their library catalogue?
haha, whut
 
6:36 PM
@slhck Bizarre o.o I did get emailed once before from a question here too
Actually, I didn't have anything to do with the question - they just emailed me because my name was lying around
 
Yeah, I once got this as well
 
@slhck I don't think it is the worst question - obviously looking for a USB Nas Adapter, but, yeah - agree with close... he could of phrased as "what do I need/what would you call a device that does xxx" rather than that...
 
and I'm like … "Dude. I only have a MacBook"
 
Haha, weird
 
turns out, I edited the answer he was referring to
@WilliamHilsum Well, we can reopen it, if you guys agree. It didn't really make sense upon reading it first, that's all. And it's a sort of shopping rec.
 
6:39 PM
"I am hoping you are an IT consultant" .....not quite.
 
@slhck Nah, I agree with you - he phrased it completely like "What can I buy to do xxxx", not "what do I need that does xxx/what do you call a xxx"... I'm fine with it being closed!
I feel really left out :/ Since I started, I have probably only got 1 email (from users that I can find) :( ... (excluding the rude ones... but that's another story!)
... and I have got more spam than genuine messages!
 
@SimonSheehan I got two emails so far regarding SU stuff and both were positive!
One user wanted to express his thanks for an answer I wrote
The other wanted me to publish some content on his site
I'm actually surprised that I received no negative or annoying mail so far

If there are any Javascript/Jquery people here, I am a bit confused... Why does the following launch a textbox on the page being loaded, and nothing when a checkbox is being clicked?

$(":checkbox").click(test());

function test() {
alert("test");
}
 
'Sup @Nyuszika7H? Rare to see anyone here from my country. (Quite the opposite on Stackoverflow!)
 
11:11 PM
So I think we spiked for internet activity yesterday...
 
11:50 PM
hm
any mac users awake?
/me needs a source for adium themes to test something
