You guys remember that awesome dude who submitted the 1,000,000th chat line to IRC?

OrigamiRobot

Was he transfigured into a god?

tiddy

No. Turns out it was meaningless and no one cared

Weird right

good for the opera dudes and dudettes :D

kalina

@tiddy I see the subtle point you're trying to make here!

Shotgun Ninja

knowyourmeme.com/memes/get

tiddy

6:03 PM

You say subtle but I'm holding a sledgehammer

kalina

you're saying that it doesn't matter what the 1 millionth message in chat says

do you know what also doesn't matter?

OrigamiRobot

@kalina That can't be true. If it doesn't matter, why would I care so much?

Fluttershy

waits for the answer

Grace Note

@tiddy No harm in being subtle as a brick.

kalina

@Fluttershy I sense you're hovering over the flag button just in case

tiddy

6:04 PM

I mean is there a JS event that triggers or something

Fluttershy

I really should watch something else on Netflix so my "Recently Watched" is something other than The Walking Dead and My Little Pony...

fbueckert

@GraceNote Sometimes, it's needed.

Grace Note

@tiddy No.

tiddy

:(

OrigamiRobot

@Fluttershy Tokyo Gore Police

Grace Note

6:05 PM

I kinda wish I hadn't botched the delivery of that line, since in full it's "subtle as a brick to the face".

kalina

@GraceNote do you think it's too late to request something?

Coronus

@Fluttershy Doctor Who.

kalina

we could put chat into timeout for a day while they do it

tiddy

Yes

I want a mission impossible countdown that decreases to explosion line by line

kalina

did you know it is 6 hours until payday

tiddy

6:06 PM

The resulting explosion will perma ban anyone caught in the blast.

Thus we will have a memorial, and their sacrifice will mean something

I don't know what, but something

SaintWacko

Someone write a script that posts the number of posts left until 1000000

Grace Note

@tiddy I have been suggesting the thought of a punishment for the millionth message, so that it changes from a mad rush to a weird game of hot potato.

SaintWacko

And anytime there is a new post it posts the new number remaining

kalina

@SaintWacko but that will halve the number of posts left until 1000000

Fluttershy

@GraceNote That's too easy to avoid though. Just don't say anything. <_<

OrigamiRobot

6:08 PM

@Fluttershy We can't not say anything!

kalina

@Fluttershy this

@Fluttershy We can't not say anything!

Ullallulloo

You guys know that we're over eight million, right?

Grace Note

@Ullallulloo Network-wide and room-wide are different stories.

Sconibulus

LIES!

Fluttershy

6:09 PM

@OrigamiRobot I can!

OrigamiRobot

@Fluttershy I bet you can't.

tiddy

Do deleted lines still remain as an ID in the DB?

Ullallulloo

@GraceNote Ooohh..

Grace Note

@tiddy They can still be read and retain their ID explicitly for this purpose, so I imagine they do.

SaintWacko

@kalina No it won't :D

Grace Note

6:11 PM

@kalina I'd have to put us in timeout until April.

OrigamiRobot

@kalina It will just count itself down.

Ullallulloo

@SaintWacko 50% chance that would be 1,000,000 though.

Depending when you turned it on.

kalina

@GraceNote do you realise what this would do to my overall productivity?

OrigamiRobot

Increase it. Mine too.

Grace Note

@kalina I don't realise things.

kalina

6:12 PM

dramatically

Grace Note

At least, not by the book definitions these days.

kalina

you realise it doesn't matter who posts the 1 millionth message, badp will just edit it anyway

Grace Note

Psh, you think badp's the person to watch out for?

kalina

I have no fear of you

cowers in a corner

OrigamiRobot

When @GraceNote lises something the first time, it stays lised.

Grace Note

6:14 PM

Well, of course not. I'm not the type who rules through fear.

Paranoia, now...

OrigamiRobot

@GraceNote Maybe not intentionally.

kalina

oh I'm immune to paranoia

ManishEarth

So, what was the millionth message?

Shotgun Ninja

Hasn't happened yet

kalina

@ManishEarth it was this:

12 secs ago, by ManishEarth

So, what was the millionth message?

badp

6:15 PM

@ManishEarth We're still not there.

Blem

@kalina that is just because your crazy ;)

ManishEarth

@ShotgunNinja ah. The chat list rounded up

kalina

@Blem likely!

Ben Brocka

It's still 201 messages away

Grace Note

The number of projects to which I use "realize" in a phraseology referring to manifestation of conceptual or theoretical into practical is actually... higher than I expected.

Ben Brocka

6:16 PM

777

You can't stop the signal

kalina

This is the part where @badp bans @BenBrocka

Shotgun Ninja

holy cow, that actually drops the post count.

fbueckert

@kalina Chat mod fight!

kalina

@ShotgunNinja yes

OrigamiRobot

@kalina He can't.

Ben Brocka

6:16 PM

Can't chat suspend mods, actually

Grace Note

He can't. BenBen's too powerful.

kalina

@BenBrocka oh in that case, spam numbers 1 to 200

one line per message

Sconibulus

badp's a monster : () )

Shotgun Ninja

badp

FAE

6:17 PM

@GraceNote That threw me off because that's what we call one of our dogs.

Shotgun Ninja

That's a number between 1 and 200

Blem

@GraceNote that is not something you hear to often ^^

kalina

@ShotgunNinja didn't say between

badp

@ManishEarth I hate you

Grace Note

Nay, 't'isn't.

@FAE Not surprised by this in a sense.

@badp ...what did Manish do to you?

badp

6:18 PM

@GraceNote He's the cause of this.

Sconibulus

he's the one that started us on this million thing

Grace Note

Oh, back at the way way start?

Shotgun Ninja

Curse you, @Manish!

kalina

surely the first person to ever post a message in chat was the person who started it all

badp

It's his fault

Grace Note

@kalina So, Juan.

badp

@kalina That's Juan IIRC. Yeah, he started the proposal too IIRC.

Shotgun Ninja

6:19 PM

Oh man, that'd be funny if Lazers gets the 1m GET

@badp /cc @ShotgunNinja what did I do now?

Tim Stone

yawns

What sort of nonsense are we up to today?

badp

@TimStone THIS. This should've been the one.

ManishEarth

6:20 PM

oh, I made you all crazy about the millionth message. sorry :s

Ben Brocka

@kalina I still get rate limited, and the message moving tool's pretty decent, at worst I'd just leave @badp clicking at numbers for a couple minutes

kalina

@BenBrocka badp likes that moving tool too much

I wish somebody would make it backfire on him and move him to android hell

Ben Brocka

If you like the message tool so much why don't you marry it?

Would you like to marry it? Well I won't let you how does that feel.

kalina

well I thought about it but we're incompatible

It doesn't bother me at all

badp

@BenBrocka You know what? I could just just move in ALL the Android Hell messages and THEN we'll see who was the 1,000,000th message :P

...or I could not do that and you could work it out through math. Both things work.

kalina

6:23 PM

@badp this would be mod abuse though!

the next 100000 messages would all be me screaming mod abuse, and it would ruin the moment

badp

@kalina That'll take a while if you take the rate limiter in consideration

I'd suggest making an ad-hoc room.

kalina

@badp since when has the rate limiter ever stopped me

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@badp Use a random number generator to pick the messages which will get sent back here, just to make it more interesting

Sconibulus

or ten thousand multis!

badp

@kalina stopped you from posting 100,000 messages in a row? Never, because you never tried

kalina

6:24 PM

@badp only because I normally get to about 10 and then get suspended

badp

har har har

kalina

I blame you, it's all your fault

badp

Nope. We've already determined it's Juan's fault.

kalina

hmmm... true

Ben Brocka

@badp Takes Juan to know Juan

OrigamiRobot

6:26 PM

@BenBrocka is banned.

inb4 mod abuse

kalina

Did you know that at the time we get our millionth message, @badp would have been responsible for ~91.8k of those messages

and @fbueckert would have been responsible for 37.9k of those messages

fbueckert

@kalina Wait, what?

I have 38K messages on my own?

kalina

yep

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

@kalina That doesn't quite add up

kalina

@YiJiang'sEvilClone that's what the stats say

OrigamiRobot

6:27 PM

@fbueckert I only have 30.2k!

kalina

37.9k alltime messages in the bridge

badp

Oh wait, nevermind.

kalina

I have 35.2k

fbueckert

@kalina 37902, to be exact.

kalina

which means @fbueckert chats more than I do

and @badp is positively a spammer

Grace Note

6:28 PM

@kalina ...really? Wow.

kalina

(let's just ignore the differences in time spent here so that I am right)

fbueckert

The turtle's got more than I do.

kalina

and now that we've had this little interlude, there are just over 100 messages left to go until THE END OF ALL THE THINGS

badp

@GraceNote @Wipqozn has 54.5k

Tim Stone

I haven't even broken 9k messages on chat.SE, that's outrageous.

Grace Note

6:29 PM

@kalina Well, you're the 4th place, so you're not in the top 3, so you don't much count as a big chatter.

@badp I know.

kalina

@badp I blame "currently in room" vs "frequently in room"

fbueckert

But then, he's been around for a solid year longer thanme.

kalina

don't forget @LessPop_MoreFizz

he's got 37.6

badp

I'm looking at frequently in room, which I don't think necessarily is a classification of top posters

kalina

so I'm not forth

Wipqozn

6:29 PM

@GraceNote You know? HAVE YOU BEEN STALKING ME?!?!

badp

For example, tzenes isn't there. He's posted his share.

Grace Note

@TimStone Don't worry, you're still in chat meta.

kalina

@badp he's so inactive that it has stopped showing his counter

Grace Note

@Wipqozn Yes. No.

Tim Stone

@GraceNote I'm in fifth place there, although I'm about caught up to Jeff now.

badp

6:30 PM

...oh, he's only got 12k users top.

kalina

but if you look at his profile, it says he's said 11.8k messages in the bridge

Wipqozn

@GraceNote Oh, okay.

I was going to check how many messages I had in here, but then I had no idea how.

Sconibulus

wow, you're making me feel all self-conscious about my little 350ish...

kalina

so, now it's all in context, @badp stop forging the stats by moving everybody elses messages to Android Hell! :p

badp

I'm just happy that in the overall leaderboards I only have barely over 50% of the top user

chat.stackexchange.com/users?tab=active&sort=activity

kalina

6:31 PM

@badp still a spammer though, regardless of how you look at it

badp

@kalina Like half

kalina

@badp I can't believe I show up on that page, I've only been here 10 months

Grace Note

Most of mine are in here. That's good.

@kalina 35k messages will do that to you.

kalina

I should not show up on any network wide stats

the rest of you are just idlers in comparison I think

(80 messages)

you realise that by the end of this year at the current rate I'll have ~70k messages right?

badp

brb banning people

kalina

6:33 PM

blah, talk to you all in an hour then!

badp

@kalina lol, I'm not even joking.

Grace Note

I would imagine you'd have more than 70k, actually, but that's accounting that your chat rate will increase.

kalina

@badp I wasn't either, I'm bracing for impact

Wipqozn

@badp my Word. I'm one of the most active chat users. Hot dog I'm handsome.

Does that mean I get a prize or something? Maybe a medal?

kalina

@GraceNote true enough, I've had an extra 5 months this year regardless of how you look at it

@Wipqozn Don't flatter yourself ;)

I should get a badge or something

"Mod abuse" badge would be best badge :(

kalina

6:37 PM

@badp having fun?

Sconibulus

@badp why do you hate our fun so?

badp

because counting is lame. Just spam F5 on the info page.

Grace Note

Think of his actions like garbage puyos.

kalina

this is what I was saying, it doesn't matter who posts the message because @badp will just manipulate it

user15026

@Sconibulus badp is the meab-est

Ronan Forman

6:38 PM

@kalina I was just typing that letter for letter. Get out my head!

kalina

@RonanForman :D

OrigamiRobot

@badp That doesn't help us find which message was 1m in the ensuing chaos

Ronan Forman

Actually, mine had a capital 'h'

kalina

quick, let's have an argument about it

so that our 1 millionth message is in the middle of a mod abuse argument

badp

Yes. Message 1 million should be an argument about the millionth message. So meta!

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

6:39 PM

*yawn*

Wipqozn

Oh my. We'll be the first room to hit 1 mill it seems. I think that means we're the best site on the network.

badp

besides, why are we discounting deleted messages anyway?

Ullallulloo

47 left

fbueckert

Anyone who has an android phone, I have a question.

badp

clearly we need to email balpha about it

kalina

6:39 PM

@Wipqozn I didn't realise that was open to debate

Sconibulus

@Wipqozn second actually... stupid C++ Lounge

6:40 PM

@Sconibulus I hate those guys!

kalina

turn it off if you don't want it to use your battery

badp

@fbueckert Brightness levels?

Taking our spotlight.

fbueckert

When I check the settings, it claims Maps is using something like half the power.

Ronan Forman

It's almost like it takes the charge to run or something.

fbueckert

6:40 PM

@badp It's all on standby.

badp

@fbueckert Uh, that's... weird

Tim Stone

Argh, my computer is oddly sluggish today...hm.

fbueckert

badp

Do you have Latitude turned on?

Shotgun Ninja

Wait, why is Maps using half of the power?

Tim Stone

6:40 PM

Ben Brocka

GPS omnomnoms battery if it's using it

fbueckert

@ShotgunNinja That's what I'm asking.

user15026

@fbueckert Can you tell it not to auto-update your location for things?

Ben Brocka

Shouldn't be unless you're actively using maps or stuff

kalina

huh, chat just started lagging

fbueckert

6:41 PM

@badp I double-checked; my recent apps has nothing at all in it.

Shotgun Ninja

Maybe it's using the GPS transceiver...

Yi Jiang's Evil Clone

Could be the GPS service

fbueckert

I even re-opened Maps and closed it.

Sconibulus

yeah, probably GPS

badp

@fbueckert Latitude is a setting inside Maps.

user15026

6:41 PM

GoogleNow can sometimes chew on GPS, for like yanking nearby traffic stuff and bus stuff and so on

Tim Stone

@kalina It's stuttering in anticipation.

@TimStone This happens on a monthly basis and has failed to end the world so far

kalina

@fbueckert yeah if you turn it off the problem will go away

OrigamiRobot

@fbueckert Not the 1m message. Don't care.

badp

@fbueckert Yes. I have no idea. GPS is its own line on the battery report right?

Tim Stone

@badp Yeah, but you know the nth time is one time too many.

Grace Note

6:45 PM

@badp On my phone it is.

badp

@TimStone I'll make sure it doesn't happen pi times then.

Grace Note

@TimStone Listen. It's turtles all the way down. That means that no matter how far we go, he'll be an owner at some point.

@badp GPS isn't even in the list.

badp

@GraceNote (Are you aware of the current Humble Mobile Bundle?)

fbueckert

I've got Maps at 48% usage, and Android OS at 32%.

Grace Note

6:46 PM

@badp Possibly not. Is there anything I would enjoy?

Ben Brocka

@badp trutles can't be trusted as room owners, what if he rolls over on his back?

badp

@GraceNote Not having taken the mushroom test, I can't tell you.

fbueckert

GPS is on, yes.

It shouldn't be used unless there's an app using it, though, right?

badp

I have Screen at 60%, Media Server at 14%, Android System at 5%. Android OS at 4%. WiFi at 3%.

Ben Brocka

in new versions of Android, GPS is a line item under the app

badp

6:47 PM

although to be fair this is a 7" tablet so the bigger screen obviously draws more power

fbueckert

It's only been doing this for the last couple of days.

Grace Note

@badp Link then?

user15026

@fbueckert You should be able to tap it and tell it to not let things have access to your location, and turn off the mobile/wifi network location, etc - that might hlep

Grace Note

@fbueckert As long as it's on, it should be draining, even if you aren't directly running Maps.

Ben Brocka

Tap Maps in the battery app and see if it has a large time of GPS running

badp

6:47 PM

@GraceNote Perhaps unsurprisingly, humblebundle.com

Ben Brocka

it's 2m0s for me

fbueckert

@GraceNote Draining to the point of dying in six hours?

Grace Note

@fbueckert Yes.

Ben Brocka

Not remotely that much

fbueckert

@GraceNote That's weird; it only started doing this a couple days ago, and I've had it on since I got it.

user15026

6:49 PM

@fbueckert It using that much is a little ridiculous, I think

Ben Brocka

do what I said and tap the "maps" item in the battery app

Grace Note

I figure the more I make my statements as if they were facts, the more it'll sound like the case.

badp

Anomaly Korea is like Anomaly Warzone Earth ("tower offense") but richer. Bladeslinger might be a fun slash and gun game, but I'm a noob in this genre so I can't tell you much about it. Contre Jour is a physics based game where you control the level and not the sphere. Plants vs Zombies is tower defense. The Room (I haven't bought this) is "point and click." Metal Slug 3 (also haven't got this) is the classic game with some bugs.

fbueckert

Android OS has "Keep Awake" totaled at almost five hours.

@BenBrocka GPS is 36 seconds.

Grace Note

@badp I know Metal Slug 3. I played it back when it was on a real system.

user15026

6:49 PM

I mean I have my maps running location services stuff, and it is only taking 3%. I would try turning off some of the GPS options through the battery app

Q: How to deal with (orphaned) WakeLocks?

I guess most of you at least have heard about WakeLocks. Many of you will have experienced them already -- wether knowingly or not. Some may know how to deal with them in general -- but only few know how to deal with the "more complicated candidates". For those who don't know, though above link ...
