Luke Allen

anyone here who has had experience with web hosting. can you tell me if slow response times on my webpages about every 30-90 minutes could be caused by what the host (inmotionhosting) calls 'spikes'?

or if im being scammed

Journeyman Geek

hm, I've heard of that happening on shared hosting

one of the other customers is getting heavy load, or is getting ddosed

its not generally acceptable, but then again, I don't use shared hosting

@OliverSalzburg They share most of the commits, master has some commits ahead of the other, but includes does not have any commits that master does not have.

Bob

9:12 AM

@JourneymanGeek I'd assume that's one of the many appliances that accept both. I'd also assume that the guy who did this did not bother checking anyway.

Journeyman Geek

@Bob: true ;p

Challenge: Purge duplicate bookmarks in Firefox.

Journeyman Geek

@jokerdino: how badly duplicated is it?

jokerdino

i don't know. it looks messy in here

like multiple folders with similar links

Journeyman Geek

google has a few suggestions... maybe this? addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/…

jokerdino

@TomWijsman Isn't that to be expected once you merge a feature branch back into master?

Q: can I buy SO reputation, like 100 rep for $1

Is there any such feature by which we can buy rep on SO? Is there any bot by which we can hack and increase our rep?

:D

Oliver Salzburg

10:43 AM

I like how he already has the worth figured

Journeyman Geek

thank you, I got a chance to be massively sarcastic

jokerdino

;D

Journeyman Geek

hmm

was messing with bad piggies. Its a clone of that goblin battlewagon game in effect

jokerdino

It is off the front page now. No more upvotes rolling in.

Journeyman Geek

lol

got 50 rep from that. ;p that's worth a lot of my 2cents ;p

gets vaguely annoyed at people who try to take the easy way out

Q: Un understandable captcha code

Oh yeah. sure

Q: Why SO is a disservice to humanity

No one is going to like this. The Internet(s) have not changed a fundamental corollary of imparting wisdom on the masses. Instead the Internet created in place of time worn practices for hand me down knowledge, a tower of babble of search. Knowledge in the sense that its represented on the Inte...

jokerdino

11:43 AM

I read it and gave it a downvote.

Journeyman Geek

funny thing is

the guy has a chunk of rep on SO

Sathya

0

A: user with no upvote/accept have reputation 4

Just because the question has a negative score doesn't mean it's not received any upvotes.

jokerdino

@JourneymanGeek i think he is annoyed by all the annoying Indians. :P

Journeyman Geek

@jokerdino: I'm annoyed by the annoying indians.

Sathya

@JourneymanGeek 1,295 is hardy a chunk of rep.

@JourneymanGeek tell me about it.

jokerdino

11:46 AM

@Sathya I think they are duplicate accounts.

Sathya

@jokerdino I agree

jokerdino

I win

Journeyman Geek

@Sathya: It shows he's actually bothered to use the site ;p

If he dosen't raegquit

Sathya

lol

Journeyman Geek

Actually thats one thing that was bothers me

Sathya

11:49 AM

it's amusing to see people who're here for very short period of time put willy-nilly things on rep loss as a bug

jokerdino

dude, you are bothering me with that broken English

Journeyman Geek

how the hell does the indian education system manage to train coders who don't get OS basics?

jokerdino

@Sathya That tells me they aren't really new people.

Journeyman Geek

(not all, maybe not some, but if there are at all)

Sathya

@JourneymanGeek cough

jokerdino

11:51 AM

@JourneymanGeek How do I turn off my computer again?

Sathya

(but hey I'm an exception ;P)

Journeyman Geek

@jokerdino: you throw it out of a window, of course.

jokerdino

@Sathya That is quite a surprise to me actually.

There is still some hope in the Indian system after all.

Journeyman Geek

@Sathya: well, hence the qualification ;p

jokerdino

@JourneymanGeek Ah yes. Thank you sir. I almost forgot how to do it.

Sathya

11:52 AM

the education system is decent, the evaluation system is fucked

Journeyman Geek

@Sathya: I've always thought the big issue was society as a whole

jokerdino

Where do you split the line?

The political system is screwed up and you know the rest.

Journeyman Geek

lol

Sathya

@JourneymanGeek yeah, that too.

Journeyman Geek

oh, does anyone have it as fucked up as TN?

thinks the quota system needs to burn

jokerdino

11:53 AM

TN is not the worst. Really

some days, i wonder about becoming a politician ;)

Journeyman Geek

lol. Its the old country, I'm not sure about the rest

@jokerdino: lol

jokerdino

Then I think of any possible assassination attempts and quickly bury the idea.

Journeyman Geek

I've actually considered it, sometimes

@jokerdino: pfft

jokerdino

@JourneymanGeek I think Bihar would be one of the worst.

Journeyman Geek

unless you REALLY piss off someone, no one's gonna try to kill you

jokerdino

11:56 AM

If you are doing what you are supposed to do, you piss off a whole lot of people.

Journeyman Geek

@jokerdino: I heard it got better

jokerdino

I hope so anyway

Journeyman Geek

@jokerdino: Look at TN

they just throw each other in jail

jokerdino

xD

Journeyman Geek

The biggest change in status quo was the poet becoming irrelevant

Sathya

Journeyman Geek

so now its the ex actress in power, and the actor as the opposition

Sathya

Man, you made my day :D -1 anyway :D — H2CO3 2 mins ago

Journeyman Geek

I should be the last one to ask this but...

jokerdino

@JourneymanGeek the shady state of state politics.

@Sathya Haha.

Journeyman Geek

why the heck are these guys so obsessed with rep?

@jokerdino: ya.

Central isn't much better either

jokerdino

11:59 AM

@JourneymanGeek Numbers are everything.

@JourneymanGeek Don't start talking about it.

At least on SO, it can get you a job.

Journeyman Geek

lol

or SU

or at LEAST get you noticed

jokerdino

or AU

Journeyman Geek

IIRC wil got a job partially through SU

I'll let you know how it worked out for me in a year or so ;p

jokerdino

yeah, like you got one from Google.

You cheap mustard.

Journeyman Geek

lol

But it isn't just the rep i suspect

its the community involvement as well

Sathya

12:04 PM

@JourneymanGeek yep - think his posts impressed the employers? Something of that sort

jokerdino

That is good news I guess.

Journeyman Geek

docs.google.com/spreadsheet/… this may be of interest WRT to google

Sathya

holy crap - 360 car visaulizer in WebGL / Three.js

Journeyman Geek

thats awesome

today is a very good day for flags

Sathya

I'm in a good mood. issued a suspension instead of destroying

jokerdino

12:14 PM

I guess I am not doing terribly bad on SU

Sathya

jokerdino

Yay

The serial downvotes be damned!

Sathya

I think I haz the deputy on Ask Ubuntu

jokerdino

You do I guess

Farming flags on AU isn't that hard, seriously.

Sathya

@jokerdino tr00

jokerdino

12:18 PM

Looks like there are two people.

Sathya

yep

jokerdino

Who did you piss off so much?

Journeyman Geek

lol

@jokerdino: some people might just do it to see what happens

like the time I had serial upvotes

jokerdino

but you don't serial downvote a moderator on multiple days :P

Journeyman Geek

well, votes are anonymous

jokerdino

12:27 PM

it's a matter of time before he shows up in the mod tools

Oliver Salzburg

@jokerdino That counts only upvotes for fraud detection

jokerdino

Oh

You see, I never used these things.

Journeyman Geek

I didn't even know they existed

jokerdino

Journeyman Geek

lol

jokerdino

Q: How does the site look like to a moderator?

The site has special features for moderators. Can I see how the site looks like to the average moderator(tools and stuff)

discussion moderation user-interface

Journeyman Geek

Ya. I always figured they relied on flags and instinct

theverge.com/2012/9/29/3426484/… I really love the idea of this

Sathya

12:53 PM

@OliverSalzburg and downvotes too

(btw, I know who went on the dv spree on me.)

jokerdino

(???)

Sathya

@jokerdino closed his question :P

jokerdino

@Sathya lol closing annoys people so much?

Sathya

@jokerdino the tools show clusters of voting information - so if a user's never downvoted, and goes on a downvoting spree, then that's a cluster.

jokerdino

Ah, nifty tool.

Sathya

12:55 PM

@jokerdino oh you have no idea

jokerdino

FFS It's just closing a darn question.

Ghost answer.

Or I don't know..

@jokerdino Now it isn't spam. Please vote up. — Subin 1 min ago

Mission accomplished.

Bob

1:17 PM

@jokerdino I wonder about their thought process..

> A moderator closed my question, I should punish them. Oh, I know, I'll downvote all their posts! There's no way that could go wrong!

jokerdino

Hahaha

It is like the silliest thing.

Bob

It's not like a downvote spree will get the question reopened or scare users off closing... -_-

jokerdino

They do have collateral damage don't they?

Bob

Well, maybe the latter... until they see it's reversed anyway.

jokerdino

I see two people downvoting though.

Journeyman Geek

1:28 PM

@jokerdino As i ranted on G+, People who post links to their blogs and nothing else are annoying and stupid. The site does use the nofollow tag ;p

jokerdino

I saw your rant and chuckled a little. ;)

but the site does switch to follow once the post is quite old and has certain number of votes

Journeyman Geek

shhh ;p

jokerdino

oh too late

Journeyman Geek

meh, I need to know the equivilent of dpkg for red hat distros

jokerdino

yum

Bob

1:35 PM

@jokerdino It does? o.O

jokerdino

oh never mind

@Bob i am trying to find the link on Meta

Sathya

@jokerdino downvotes on questions don't get the -1

so the downvote spree

jokerdino

@Sathya oh they are targeting your questions?

Sathya

jokerdino

semi smart dumbasses

Bob

@jokerdino Ah. Basically, not something to worry/care about..

jokerdino

I would think so.

Bob

I doubt any truly spammy link would survive long enough :P

jokerdino

Bob

1:43 PM

Whatever happened to the broken link review queue?

jokerdino

It's still there.

But hasn't been completed since waffles left SE.

I want to upgrade my Snow Leopard machine (which is somewhere else) to Lion OS X. In the Apple app store, the Lion OS X download isn't available on my Windows PC (it only shows iPad/iPod software). I want to download the disk image using this (Windows PC) computer and transfer the installer to ...
