I love Google — and I’m not just saying that because they deliver 90% of our traffic and more than 60% of user OpenIDs, I swear. But I am a little bitter that their OpenID support has two major flaws which cause us a great deal of ongoing pain:

While there is certainly an argument for privacy to be made here, it sure would be nice to have the choice between a random per-site hash OpenID like …

And a stable, readable OpenID like …

Well, the good news is, now you can! Google just gave us a fantastic Thanksgiving Day present in the form of Google Profiles supporting OpenID. And with a Google Profile, you get to pick a named URL of your choice! …

This is what I meant.

Personally, I'd hate to have the herculean effort that drove Jarrod to drink in getting the normal OpenIDs to work to be wasted though.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz until it breaks, like any good workaround.
 
@badp This is why I have a second OpenID associated with my account.
Once it's broke, I'll fix it.
 
hey @mordi2k, I see you found your way here!
 
6:15 PM
I've been playing as a discipline priest and it's pretty cool.
It probably doesn't have the raw healing efficiency as a holy priest, but it seems way more fun
 
@Brant Disc is more gear dependent.
In general though, Disc is much more useful than Holy at the very high end.
There's one fight we stack holy priests for, and two where we always make sure to have at least one. There's a few where our priests can heal as whatever spec. And there're at least 4 where we basically bring as many disc priests as we can fit in the goddamned raid.
We used 5 of them for our first Heroic Halfus kill, although that was more 'creative use of game mechanics' than it was any actual testament to the strength of Disc.
 
Hi! :)

Q: Your Favourite Fonts?

JFWWhat is your favourite fonts to use in your designs? They have something like this in StackOverflow and WebApps SE, detailing their favourite programs or favourite webapps per answer. Perhaps we could do this too with typography on Graphic Design SE. (Suggestion: Vote for one font in each answer...

Q: Is it necessary to set the /stopcasting macro in WoW?

KimDoes the top pvp player set the /stopcasting macro and make a key-binding with that in the world of warcraft? Is it necessary? Or just move the character to break the casting spell?

 
6:25 PM
@badp Yes i did!
 
I've uploaded 44.2 GB to Crashplan in one day. Great advice guys.
 
@ArdaXi You're about to tell us your internet plan has a data cap.
 
Nope.
I don't think there's a landline internet plan in the Netherlands with a data cap.
 
Oh, then you're happy. Sorry, not used to that.

@mordi2k Did I guess that link correctly?
 
Why does everyone always assume I'm being sarcastic? I'm never sarcastic.
 
6:27 PM
@ArdaXi Never ever ever, ever.
 
That was ironic.
 
@ArdaXi wow, that was a fast upload.
 
@ArdaXi see now you just killed it
@Brant @Arda has that super Euro-internet that is the stuff of legend here on the other side of the Atlantic.
 
@Brant It's a bit slower while I'm using my computer of course.
 
bah.
 
6:29 PM
@badp Yeah, nice guessing! I obviously forgot to link to the source <.<
 
44.2 GB in 24 hours is 1.8 GB per hour is 31 MB per minute is ~512 kB/s
...my download speed is capped at 400 kB/s u_u
@mordi2k Yeah, being unable to put tables is somewhat annoying. Especially when you want images.
 
Haha, mine is capped at 1,2mb/s !
 
Then, I look at the way MediaWiki does tables, and I shudder.
 
@badp Indeed, i just wanted that friggen table in there, as it was quite informative :(
 
@mordi2k My home connection is still 8 times faster than what university now provides us :P
@mordi2k I can recreate it with Unicode, but it'd lack the icon.
thrusts is friend, the ─.
 
6:32 PM
@badp No need to bother with that :p
 
Fair enough.
How's IPoS++ doing?
 
Don't know, i died of last weekend :(
 
Last I heard, you were swimming in defensive objects.
@mordi2k aw. Desert?
or infection for plumbing?
 
Yep, had to go to the E.R., and didn't make it back in time :<
You should come join us, in our next town!
 
@mordi2k Actually I and the other two die2niters in my coalition are currently dead
Wanted to join a city monday, it'd probably fall before IPoS++ does :P
 
6:35 PM
Can get lucky !
 
There's only one Verve! :P
 
Holy, that CrashPlan was cheap.
 
Although IPoS got beaten at the points by Palisades of Winters, if the points system was in place for them.
Anyway, I heard IPoS++ is doing better so meh.
 
True that! But, there are still competent people out there.
Yeah, they're thinking around 26-28 days.
 
@Nyuszika7H Please don't repost your questions here - the feed user will automatically post it during the next 5 min cycle, and your message will be duplicated
 
6:37 PM
Especially with all those def. items.
 
@YiJiang okay
 
@Nyuszika7H Hmm, I'll see if i can find out where it's stored.
 
@mordi2k Yep, I've did a search, even inside system files.
 
1 message moved to The Relaxation Vault.
@YiJiang to be fair, it was the question he posted a few mins ago
so he didn't accidentally double post it
 
6:49 PM
Right, because intentionally double posting is better, eh?
 
@YiJiang apparently.
I mean, that's a different problem.

Q: Tips for defeating Benezia and her commandos at Noveria

MBraedleyWith less than a year to finish Mass Effect and ME2, I've been grinding my way through. Right now, though, I'm having some trouble with Benezia. What are some strategies and associated tactics that should I be using?

 
Man, how much did those "NeoCube" guys pay for advertisement? That ad must have been there on Youtube for a month now

Ian CordleWhat is a full list of all of the Mothership's powers and what it's advantages are in StarCraft II?

 
10:13 PM

Q: How do you name something that isn't in your inventory?

Arda XiWhile exploring the Gnomish Mines, I found a grey stone. I have reason to believe that this is a loadstone, and as such I want to name it without picking it up. Is this possible at all? And if it is, how is it accomplished?

Q: How to mitigate impact of simultaneous staff breaks in Theme Hospital?

MachaA situation that often happens to me is that I hire a bunch of staff at once in Theme Hospital either at the start of the hospital or during a major expansion, and from that point on, they all go for their staff breaks en masse as their tiredness values are in sync. This devastates the hospital a...

Now I remember why youTube is horrible, among several hundred other reasons. There's no loop function like on nico

Q: TT vs ZZ on Twilight Fortress

Dat ChuAs TT, we were going heavy MM and rush at the 6-minute mark. However, since the map is too large, by the time we got there, they have already expanded and have enough zerlings + banelings. What else could I have done?

 
At any rate, this is every reason to get Resonance of Fate if Jin's videos haven't been sufficient. Or, you could get the soundtrack, which is 6 discs long despite consisting of nothing but in-game music.
 
@Grace Add repeat after youtube in the URL
 
As in, youtuberepeat.com?
 
Yes.
 
11:56 PM
That is annoying. Functional, but extremely annoying.
youTube, you have gotten the better light... for now.
 
:(
 
You're either frowning because you still like youTube or secretly you're its founder.
I say the solution is that you should listen to the song I posted.
 
well
I did
and it's really awesome
but I already have the soundtrack
 
...what
 
also my brother is actually pretty high on the corporate ladder
 
11:58 PM
So, secretly, you're in relation to the founder!
By blood, direct, indirect, or not at all
 
stuff
 
Using an OR statement makes it a true statement. That's how I figure it. At least one is true, which means that you are related by blood.
 
argh
no
not logic
not right now
