@AviD It's a sitewide setting iirc
But <div dir="rtl"></div> can override it
 
 
3 hours later…
6:28 AM
@M'vy, @Flyk You guys play (or used to play) GW2 right?
 
@TerryChia yeah I did
 
@M'vy You gonna start again once the expansion is out?
 
Not sure. I'm not really into MMO since long
Did not even know about expansion
 
Heh. I just got started again a few days back after a few years.
The changes have been pretty interesting.
 
Well, thanks for the update :P
I'll see about it
 
6:41 AM
@ManishEarth huh. that's so crazy, it just might work.
Simpler than I thought, and not as much has changed in HTML as I'd thought
@ManishEarth thanks!
 
meh, I dont do pins.
2
 
7:28 AM
@TerryChia I might have to reinstall it at some point I guess.
 
7:43 AM
@Adi done
 
8:03 AM
lol dammit, who pinned that?
 
20 mins ago, by Rоry McCune
@Adi done
Also: just look at the history of the message. That tells you who pinned it.
 
@Arperum I KNOW WHO PINNED IT
there could be only one man who would have dared pin that. Nay, not a man.... A SCOTSMAN!
 
@AviD THEN DON'T GO AROUND ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS. JUST BLAME THE CULPRIT.
 
@Arperum THATS WHAT I WAS DOING
ever hear of subtlety?
or rhetorical questions?
don't answer that.
 
@AviD Do I look subtle? I use a friggin open flame to read a bloody book according to my avatar.
ANd If I could summon fire in my hands I would actually use it to read a book.
@AviD Awww :( Why can't I answer that?
 
8:08 AM
@Arperum is that what that is? Who can tell?
 
Is this just real life?
Is this a Fantasy?
 
@AviD Me. Because I have the same design much larger on a tshirt.
 
@RоryMcCune Caught in a landslide
no escape from reality
 
see I knew someone here would be old enough to recognize that :op
 
@RоryMcCune In a room with @RoryAlsop in it there always is someone old enough to recognize anything.

8:12 AM
@ManishEarth well yes
 
@RоryMcCune and be compelled to respond
@ManishEarth even high gallifreyan. especially high gallifreyan.
 
haha
@AviD I'm pretty sure we're all idiots with a box here.
 
@AviD I knew that
 
@ManishEarth not everyone has a box, but everyone is a madman.
 
8:20 AM
@AviD You're using a box to talk to me now :P
And it's larger on the inside, figuratively
 
hehe
@ManishEarth mine especially, its one box that holds a dozen larger boxes inside it
 
hah
 
though practically speaking, my box is pretty roomy on the inside, physically too.
 
It's smaller on the outside though, innit?
 
pretty bulky on the outside too
I've got one of these babies: corsair.com/en-us/…
I could probably put your whole box inside of mine, and still have room for snacks.
 
Adi
8:33 AM
Ugh! She's here!
 
@Adi who's where?
 
 
1 hour later…
9:54 AM
derob
 
10:13 AM
@Flyk derob who?
 
"!derob ma I" fo tnemetats a erom tub "?ohw bored" ton si noitseuq eht
I don't like pillars of eternity
 
@Flyk how come?
 
in The Bridge, 4 mins ago, by Flyk
I can't even articulate what I feel is wrong with it
in The Bridge, 4 mins ago, by Flyk
just... something
 
@Flyk .... you've been two-timing on us with the Bridge!!
 
I had no choice, you started talking to me about games
 
10:28 AM
@Flyk hmm tricky one, I like it but then I like that type of game and I liked baldurs gate..
 
and for some reason they've been talking about me a lot recently
there's nothing... wrong(?) with it
I'm just not getting immersed
 
@Flyk how long did you play?
 
waste of time to play games that aren't immersive
5 hours... of which I was tabbed out for 2 or 3
didn't capture my attention at all
so now I'm back to playing cities: skylines
 
@Flyk ah well back to the drawing board..
 
I found the inconsistent methods of telling the story to be very jarring as well
 
Adi
10:36 AM
I have no clue what I'm doing with this StackEgg
I think I'm killing Sec.SE
 
@Adi main site or just chat ?
 
Adi
@RоryMcCune I have no clue. I'm playing that StackEgg thing
 
@Adi what stackegg thing?
 
@Adi .... WAT
 
Adi
10:48 AM
@RоryMcCune I have no idea, man. It just started appearing
 
@Adi is it tomorrow in Australia yet?
 
Adi
Oh nooo!!
April Fools'!!
NO NO NO NO!
I hate this day!
 
@Adi yeah in some faaaar east places it's now april fools day
so at a guess that's what the score is
 
Adi
Worst day in the year!
 
April fools day AKA "international stay off the Internet day"
 
Adi
10:52 AM
1- I hate the feeling that I'll be missing a lot of websites' pranks and be out of the loop.
2- I cannot do any of the ruthless and mean pranks I think about.
3- I hate when I'm pranked.
 
@Adi so @Flyk 's plan to show up in Helsinki may not go down too well, is that what you're saying?
 
11:12 AM
h ttp://i.imgur.com/qesyFiL.png
sorry realised NSFW language in there
 
@RоryMcCune We are off to a good start: phoronix.com/forums/…
 
11:32 AM
@Adi Ah god damn it, I was wondering what it was too.
 
raz
11:47 AM
SE is super slow today
 
@raz it probably means we're not feeding the StackEgg Bot enough
 
raz
12:06 PM
@RоryMcCune Alright... where's Lighty when we need him?
 
@raz Offering users to the SE bot is cheating.
 
@raz actually sounds like a job for @Flyk ... may alleviate her boredome :)
 
I'm too busy winning the internet on M&TV
sorry
 
raz
@Arperum If you're not cheating you're not trying!
 
12:27 PM
OH MY GOD I POSTED AN ANSWER
 
@Simon dude it's a day early, your answers work best tomorrow :op
 
@Simon HOW DARE YOU.
 
SE is indeed very slow today.
 
@Simon Like your mom.
 
pls
 
12:40 PM
So, when did SE get this Tamagotchi/GigaPet thing?
 
Since it's April Fools somewhere in the world.
 
Right. 'Cause that's a good reason to give us yet another way to waste time on SE.
 
:D
 
The game's rigged. The most hearts I can get is 14. Reverse that, and it's 41. Throw in a slash, and it's 4/1 - April Fools.
 
o
 
12:47 PM
@Iszi I've seen all 20 hearts filled on arqade.
ALthough, right now they are back to 8 bacause the internet has been won.
 
It's nice when you post an answer and somebody else decides to post your exact same answer but reworded.
 
@Arperum They've probably got the cheat codes stashed somewhere on their Meta.
 
@Iszi I missed that meta post in that case.
 
@Iszi or of course they cater to the rest of the world and there's no need for the reversing....
 
1:05 PM
@RоryMcCune It's an American company. You can be damn sure they're doing the reversing.
 
@Iszi perhaps it's their attempt to point out one of the many advantages of moving to a more logical date numbering scheme...
 
@RоryMcCune I totally get YYYY-MM-DD, but I will never understand DD/MM/YYYY
 
@Iszi for me either is fine it runs in order of significance either forwards or backwards
 
@Iszi I totally get YYYY-MM-DD, but I will never understand MM/DD/YYYY
 
1:21 PM
 
Adi
@RоryMcCune [Insert dirty joke about going down]
 
@Adi [Insert sounds of @Adi being set on fire by @Flyk ]
 
I... closes tab
 
Adi
@RоryMcCune [Going down -> Fire + Sounds]
 
all pls
 
Adi
1:24 PM
@Simon It's Easter, so it's okay.
 
o
 
Adi
Plus, apparently, I'm a racist. So the more I talk about anything else, the less time to be racist.
 
@Iszi am upset - no machines here will play it, or even show it
 
@RoryAlsop Still rocking the good old Windows 95?
 
3.11 for workgroups. Its a good vintage.
 
1:40 PM
@Simon not quite...
 
Adi
@JourneymanGeek Yeah, it rained enough and it wasn't too cold
 
There'd better be badges and hats for people who participate in this thing and win the Internet. I don't want to be wasting my time here for nothing.
 
@Adi: The programmers weren't too drunk
 
Oh, and the site's down now.
 
And the UI guys. Windows 8 was cause of the UI guys.
 
1:42 PM
"Stack Exchange is currently offline, we'll be back shortly!"
 
a Rory who works for $largebank realises that things on the Internet are a bit more permanent than they thought..... finextra.com/news/…
 
We are disabling the eggs for a moment while we optimize them a bit. They'll return soon!
 
Adi
@Iszi Ooooh, that's the reason for the slowness
So I was right, @RоryM
3 hours ago, by Adi
I think I'm killing Sec.SE
 
@Adi Yeah, I was figuring that was it.
 
Buut but but!
Eggs!
 
1:45 PM
Why is it that the only guy StackStatus is following, is Ryan Seacrest?
 
hey @AviD looks like the new Surface 3 has LTE! microsoftstore.com/store/msuk/en_GB/pdp/Surface-3/…
 
@Iszi The whole thing is a prank, you think they're gonna reward you for falling for it?
 
@Simon Your mom did.
 
"ok, who thought it was a good idea to roll out a game that requires a bunch of users to click stuff every few seconds"
2
 
pls
 
1:47 PM
svp
 
@Simon That's what she said. And I obliged.
 
ffs
 
@Simon Exactly!
 
LEAVE ME ALONE
DID SHE SAY THAT TOO?
 
only while dreaming of you
but that was long after @Iszi had finished with her
 
1:48 PM
@Flyk Damn, beat me to it.
 
-_-
 
sorry, I couldn't witness @Iszi owning you without joining in
 
@RоryMcCune oo now there is a reason
also plenty cheaper
 
@AviD yeah and proper stylus and nice looking screen
 
hmm, but the battery does not last so much longer than the pro to make it worth going Atom.
besides the LTE, only benefit is the price. could be good for kids though.
 
1:57 PM
@AviD true the Atoms aren't getting quite the extension that the ARM processors seem to provide
 
in which case I wouldnt care about the LTE...
wait:
> Network (Wireless and Cellular)
Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac) • Bluetooth 4.0
thats not LTE
 
@AviD the LTE is mentioned in the model choices above..
 
oh missed that... yeah I see that now
doesnt show the additional price tho
 
although notably those versions aren't available for pre-order yet..
 
cuz crap
 
1:59 PM
yeah so it will be but a bit later than the original model
 
I see MS took a page out of Apple's book, and made non-compatible chargers.
 
@AviD that actually looks like it might not be the same as the Surface pro 3 which would be laaaammmmme
 
so yeah, aside from the lack of 3G/LTE - and the price - I'm really not convinced.
> Is the Power Supply on Surface 3 different than the one for Surface Pro 3?

A: Yes, Surface 3 comes with a lighter, thinner 13W Power Supply that only works with Surface 3. It is not compatible with any other Surface devices. You can also charge Surface 3 using any micro USB charger (like those used for charging certain smartphones) or portable micro USB battery packs. Charging speeds may vary.
 
@AviD ah well at least you can do USB charging!
but still that's three different types of surface charger now
and they ain't cheap!
 
I would consider getting one for my kids.
especially towards college...
 
2:02 PM
@AviD yeah it would be good for that especially with the free year of office365 + skype
 
but for me, I'm still sticking with looking forward to the Pro - when I can afford it / when I need it
@RоryMcCune does the pro give you that too?

Q: What lasts 21 seconds at Google ? Pattern analysis

EzayI'm kinda new in IT security and i'm analyzing some flows. The only informations i have are : *ip dst *timestamp *port dst *numbers of sources and flows. I noticed some suspicious flows coming from *********1e100.net. My suspicions are based on the facts that each timestamp is separated from t...

 
@AviD not sure... you'd think it would as it's the more expensive device. MS seem to be heavily pushing free years of 365 at the moment....
 
A: @Simon! bazinga!
actually does anybody understand what that q wants?
 
He's asking tips on how to last longer than 21 seconds.
 
@Simon Finally a question that @Adi cannot rep whore with!
#burn
 
2:08 PM
I'm surprised that didn't backfire to me.
 
that's awfully sharp for you
 
@RоryMcCune got that with my stream too
 
don't cut yourself
 
@Flyk you think he's upset about Zayn? #StillDownWithTheYouthMe
 
Isn't Zayn the kid that had rumours about him cheating on his gf too?
Then he made a "oh so romantic" post on twatteur.
 
2:15 PM
why restart?
 
@RоryMcCune doubtful
oh, you mean @Simon?
he might be upset about One Direction breaking up
he's a bit mainstream like that
 
pls
 
I doubt @TerryChia even knows who One Direction are
since he's made entirely of awesome
 
I'm willing to bet that he does.
wat
 
wat
I can't help the fact that @TerryChia is considerably more awesome than you, @Simon

2:25 PM
ok
 
2:49 PM
@Flyk gives @Flyk a cookie, sets @Simon on fire
 
all pls, help me to rep train instead of babbling about.
 
3:12 PM
@Simon Gnn?
 
> [ 1104.370391] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Oops.
 
@Stephane Huh?
 
@Simon I don't see this conversation going very far :P
 
Stephane, don't be a donut.
OR IS IT STÉPHANE?
DID I BUST YOU?
 
Damned! Foiled again
 
3:22 PM
@Simon did they ever come up with a name for what is wrong with you?
 
@Flyk Yes, "Extraordinary".
 
@Flyk Doughnutitis
 
@Flyk They call it @Simon syndrome.
 
@Simon ahahahahahaha... no
 
3:35 PM
@Simon 10/10
 
ty
AM I GONNA REP CAP?
O M G
 
raz
4:13 PM
@ThomasPornin or anyone else who can answer this. I have a 3DES implementation that's passing the Variable Plaintext KATs, but fails Permutation Operation KATs. Any idea what could be going wrong?
I don't quite understand what the Permutation Operation is testing.
 
4:34 PM
I think because my room was dirty last time and I complained that they gave me a free room upgrade this week
I have a round bed and a jacuzzi
 
@LucasKauffman Awww yiss
 
5:04 PM
Google have placed a great Easter egg in Ingress today
 
Are you gonna check that snapchat or?
 
@RoryAlsop ahh that ties into the google maps one (you can play pacman on Google maps)
@Simon is that the little ghost looking icon 3rd from left?
 
@RоryMcCune Yep!
 
@Simon ahh not an app I've used
 
@RоryMcCune You're missing on some nudies opportunities, man.
 
5:10 PM
@Simon LOL, I'm a married man living in Lochgoilhead, I'm fairly sure there's no-one I know who might send me that kind of thing that I would actually want to receive them from :)
 
@RоryMcCune Just ask @Flyk, I'm sure she'll gladly send some.
 
@Simon it's 'cause Canada is so cold right?
 
Poor Canada.
 
@Simon that's why you keep asking to get set on fire..
 
:D
 
5:12 PM
Yup, internet at work officially sucks.
 
@DavidFreitag wow, that makes @RoryAlsop 's Internet look good!
 
@RоryMcCune trying to listen to a song over google music on wifi is like tearing chunks of hair out
 
@Simon I know what it is. It's my mate Stewart doing something in gorgeous weather in Italy. Probably drinking a beer
that's what it usually is
 
@RoryAlsop Oh right, no need to hurry then. Jerk.
 
@RoryAlsop I take it you'll be going to scot-secure.com to heckle Glenn?
 
5:18 PM
@RоryMcCune heh - I might have to
 
@RoryAlsop interesting to see that kind of conf. starting to happen north of the border.. I guess security is on a bit of an upward trend in co's at the moment
 
@Simon I have never had a single nude pic sent to me over snapchat. I only have 2 friends on snapchat, and they both send me pictures of them openeing or drinking beer or rum
 
@RoryAlsop Well, I think that's fine if they are both 2 males.
 
@Simon one is
 
o
 
5:20 PM
women drink rum too, you know
 
I honestly would not know what to do if I got a nude snapchat.
 
@RoryAlsop Oh.
 
@DavidFreitag I would look at it for 5 seconds and then it would vanish
meh
 
@RoryAlsop although I take you saw what happened to that dude from RBS today
 
Probably mash screenshot before it vanished...
 
5:22 PM
@RoryAlsop finextra.com/news/… dude posts stuff to daughter via SnapChat, she then reposts on Instagram, newspaper picks it up and he gets fired :(
 
There's nothing like wondering if the next snap will be nudies :)
gud times, gud times.
I was young and all (a year ago).
Now I'm old and all.
 
@RоryMcCune that was rather funny. But I have to say - what a moron for doing that
@Simon but, why would you use snapchat for that?
haven't you seen the vast store of pics from the snapchat compromise?
 
@RoryAlsop yeah not the brightest move in the universe... another lesson in What happens on the Internet... may get made public at any time!
 
(I obviously haven't - someone told me about it...ahem)
 
@RoryAlsop Probably because of how the timer makes everything kinky.
2
@RoryAlsop That was pre-compromise.
 
5:26 PM
@RоryMcCune I notice Gillan isn't so vocal on Facebook any more
@Simon ok
 
@RoryAlsop yeah I guess especially as people get more senior, the potential consequences must makes themselves apparent!
 
@DavidFreitag Cool intro track.
 
@Simon Those guys have some really cool tracks. You should check them out on gm
 
6:32 PM
SE TOMAGOTCHI
GODDAMNIT I HAVE WORK TO DO
 
lul
@Ohnana I only ever got one of those stupid things and I ended up getting it instead of a giant jaw breaker from one of those coin-op machines. I made it my life's goal to kill the thing.
 
lawl
i had a neopet thingy
they kept running away
 
Sad thing is no matter what I tried it would never die
So I took a hammer to it.
 
oh jeez
 
Well, ok. That's a lie. I took it apart very carefully to see what was inside. Instead of proper circuitry it was one of those board-mounted dies with the black silicon, and the screen wasn't usable either. So then it smacked it with a hammer.
 
6:43 PM
ahaha
 
I was really hoping to get a small nand chip or even a microcontroller out of the deal. But no.
 
someone keeps spamming flag on my stack egg
fucker

A: What is the optimal strategy for the launched site in Stack Egg?

PearsonArtPhotoSo far as I can tell, this is the optimal strategy for the launched product. Every round, choose the top item from this list. If an item is 4 hearts, then go on to the next level. If an item is red, it deserves immediate attention. Raise the Questions via ask to 4 hearts. Raise the Answers via ...

 
flagging an egg with all hearts above one is useless tho
 
the flag button only works once
 
6:56 PM
that's what i mean
 
nurdz
 
so that person isnt' really hurting anything
Also, this is a voting thing. Only one selection actually happens
and afaik the priority for ties is topmost wins
 
but they're just annoying
 
GODDAMMIT
 
@DavidFreitag Only four hours ago? Took longer than I expected.
 
6:59 PM
I have added chkconfig, now I'm getting permission denied when I try to start my script in init.d
 
oh balls
 
@Iszi shrug don't look at me
 
I spy with my little eyes 2 ex-dads.
 
7:14 PM
aw man our stack egg is almost at 4 hearts for everything
 
IT'S SO CLOSE!
 
ikr?
 
Some dude keeps trying to do "Restart" on SO, it's funny as hell.
 
And terrifically annoying.
Woo \o/
 
oh fck it's graduated
 
jrg
7:17 PM
Nathan built a userscript that votes to restart if it gets to 95% completion.
 
Evil!
 
rude
 
lol, thats messed up
 
jrg
lol
 
7:28 PM
lol, i totally just clicked downvote and it highlighted close
 
it selected downvote for me
come on man we need dat traffic stat
wait what
jesus fucking christ
 
I swear to god i'll ragequit
> This has to be confirmed by a second vote.
So if only one person ever votes...
 
why the balls is someone trying to reset
 
Someone's trying to reset? Aw yeah let me help the lad.
 
i swear on your mum's balls I'll slap you through the internet
 
7:33 PM
It looks like the lad is gone :(
 
@DavidFreitag Yeah, I saw the whole thing.
 
lolz!
 
@Simon You should scroll down and read more of deadmau's tweets
They're hilarious
 
had no idea that krewella was two women
 
7:41 PM
Really?
 
i don't follow faces
 
It was them and some dude, but they ganged up on him and forced him out
 
@DavidFreitag Yeah I witnessed the whole thing on Twitter when it happened.
 
But if you watch their set from ultra they had some guitarist and a drummer. Their set was shit.
 
@Ohnana Two talent-less little bitches who cry about being "cyberbullied" and sexism every fucking minute
 
7:43 PM
jesus
 
As you can see, I love them.
 
their music is okay
 
I enjoy their music to some extent
 
i don't skip it on pandora
 
Their music was produced by Rain Man, they can't produce shit.
(The dude that used to be part of Krewella)
 
7:44 PM
Yeah their newest album is basically a rehash of the old one plus a few extra tracks
 
I wouldn't be surprised if the eventual stuff they're gonna release is ghost produced.
