"Keep Christ in Christmas" is such a stupid statement

I concur. And I'm a Christian.

Srsly?

You break the GitHub ToS by scraping email addresses, use them for a commercial purpose (also against ToS), send a mass email (using "to" instead of "bcc" or simply sending multiple emails), and then expect somebody to want to work for you???

Thanks, but I've got, y'know... ethics.

Beer and pizza aside.

My favorite part is the replies showing up in my inbox from people (1) taking this seriously and (2) using reply-all (even attaching their resume).

Such facepalm. Very dissapoint.

> "Dont reply to all, Im not interesting about this spam"

Thank you fellow victim.

> "Cool, I will be sending [site] a complaint about using you as their recruiter."

Also thank you, fellow victim. I agree wholeheartedly.

@NathanOsman The atheist media loves to distort Christianity, Judaism and Islam. They find the odd extreme preacher, rabbi or cleric and quotes them as saying "God says you should do this" to try to paint the masses of worshipers look silly. But by now you have heard about fake news. Just another nail in MSM coffin.

Nathan Osman

Yes, that's true. The media has gone from "let's report the facts" to "we need attention to stay in business so we'll report anything that elicits a response".

That is true. There's a lot more going on at the same time.

Probably best left for Politics SE if the bozo mods there don't put everything on hold as "off-topic". Such discussions aren't well suited for AU I don't think. Besides I'm on my fourth beer and looking forward to watching a movie :D

@NathanOsman Ouch. Yeah. I've even gotten a few citing how much they "love my github profile". Considering all the public repos I have are mostly just garbage (half written ideas that I mostly just used for fun and then abandoned) that's not making me inclined to pursue your offer.

@WinEunuuchs2Unix ehhh. Calling mods bozos is not nice ._.

And sites like politics are probably really hard to moderate

@NathanOsman so true :/

@JourneymanGeek yeah I bet!

@muru remaining in user-mode-linux are three definitely valid Qs, one that I gave the benefit of the doubt, one useless unanswered question that someone upvoted (so needs one more downvote) and ~5 closed questions that I delete-voted. So if you have time & care to visit it, and cast a few delete votes and one downvote, it will be clean after one more roomba run (tomorrow iirc) and once Eric C has checked the delete votes page (almost as reliable ^_^)

I also wrote a very quick lazy wiki and usage guidance, but I don't know whether it will help... maybe we should actually destroy that tag and change it to uml?

Oh oops actually there are 2 I only just got closed so have to wait a few days to delete vote, or I can do it after one more downvote

muru

5:32 AM

@Zanna uml sounds like a markup/modelling language

Zanna

Guess we better leave it as it is then?

muru

I suppose so

Zanna

Going back to sleep. Ping me if I should do anything

jokerdino

@Zanna You should sleep more

I'm just a few minutes away from performing the very first transfer with the new NitroShare for Android app.

byte[] ipAddr = new byte[]{127, 0, 0, 1};
InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByAddress(ipAddr);

How the heck can this throw an java.net.UnknownHostException?????

(1) How is this a host? (2) How could invalid input even be provided?!?

This makes no rational sense whatsoever.

And the reason this is a problem is because it causes an android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException.

Q: How to delete merged question?

I asked one question on Ask Ubuntu community. Some one flag it as duplicate and merged that question with another question. My question is : How to find group name and user name and it was merged with : What does the name after '@' at terminal prompt mean? I got -3 votes for this question. No...

A: Why did I get a "There's been a change to your Google account" message and password reprompt?

It looks like this is a known issue, and Google is on top of it. From the product forums: We've gotten reports about some users being signed out of their accounts unexpectedly. We're investigating, but not to worry: there is no indication that this is connected to any phishing or account sec...

Er oops.

I accidentally missed a break in a switch() statement and truncated a file ಠ_ಠ

I keep forgetting that Go is sensible here and makes you be explicit about fallthrough.

@edwinksl I missed 99 999 ;p

Smokey is bussy

By the way anyone willing to have a look at my problems with installing ubuntu? askubuntu.com/questions/758658/…

Jacob Vlijm

Not sure what problems you are referring to. I don't see your name anywhere in the link, and you don't mention if (and why) the accepted answer isn't working for you @Thijser :)

Thijser

Whoops copy didn't take and got the wrong link askubuntu.com/questions/886629/…

(the other was something I was looking at)

Jacob Vlijm

Haha, I see .
