@BenBrocka Yeah, they sit perfectly straight up until the point you pull the camera out.

Well

I guess my grandfather has died

Q: What does an interchange do?

After a couple weeks, I got an upgrade option that says "Upgrade one station to an interchange". What does an interchange do and when should I upgrade a station to one?

Q: Brightly coloured eggs at Azure Watch

At the moment the noblegarden world event is taking place in world of warcraft. It occurs every year towards the end of april and lasts for one week.

@Lazers why the downvote?

I'm using it on my Nexus 7

@RedRiderX D:

@Alex I made it rather obvious, dude.

@RedRiderX To cheer you up:

Babies are being named after "Game of Thrones" characters? What parents would name a baby after a sword wielding, mythological character?

@RedRiderX My condolences. Always tough.

user58869

@Frank you downvoted because of the number of links? "This question does not show any research effort; it is unclear or not useful" i would have thought those links are evidence of the research effort that i made.

user58869

they also add value to the post

user58869

they provide information about specific things

@Alex No. They take AWAY value.

@Alex that is not the only criteria for downvoting

10:12 PM

They are utterly useless.

There is no reason whatsoever to have THAT many links.

A single one to the event is all that's needed.

And I suspect even that isn't really necessary.

user58869

that would require whoever is reading it to click that single link and then find the other link somewhere on that site, not all links lead to wowhead by the way, anyway, i understand why you downvoted now, so i'll not trouble you further.

@Alex You're treating your readers like brain dead zombies.

:15121894 I don't troll.

Which I take offense to. I'm a brain dead human, thank you very much.

I pointed out exactly why I downvoted. I even left a comment.

You're free to disagree all you like. Just as I'm free to downvote for more or less any reason I choose.

@Yuki Technically, doesn't being brain dead, and still ambulatory, make you a zombie? :P

@Frank Depends on what kind of zombie we're talking about.

10:18 PM

@Yuki Or how pedantically we're defining it.

Troll (Internet)

In Internet slang, a troll (, ) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, , or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. This sense of the word troll and its associated verb trolling are associated with Internet discourse, but have been used more widely. Media attention in recent years has equated trolling with online harassment. For example, mass med...

I don't see how having multiple links clogs up the question. They're non-obtrustive, and you don't need to follow them.

@Wipqozn They're unnecessary.

There's no good reason to link anything possible to another point of reference.

@Alex You're taking it personally.

@Frank What difference does it make? Do the links clog up the question at all? All they do is change the colour of some text to blue.

I'm not downvoting you. I'm downvoting your linkbait.

@Wipqozn Yes, they do.

10:21 PM

Also those links are from 3 different sources, they're not all from wowdead.

@Frank How though?

If he just pasted a link directly like wipqoznishandsome.com I'd agree, but he did it like this.

@Wipqozn By going overboard on the links.

thisiswhydownvotesareanonymous.jpg

Not everything that can be links, should be.

user image

@Frank Yes, but *how * are they clogging up the question? That's what I'm trying to understand. All they do si change the colour of certain text to blue. I don't understand how that clohs up the question.

10:23 PM

@Blem why are you asking your kitten to smell your finger?

@Wipqozn That, by itself, clogs up the question.

@Frank I honestly couldn't disagree with you more. I don't how certain words being different colours clogs up a question.

With that said, spend your downvotes as you see fit.

It's like those reference/ad add-ons work with extensions.

That turn ordinary words into links elsewhere, for no good reason.

@badp the title of the picture is "Why is everyone elses cat so much cuter than you?"

@Wipqozn You a word.

10:25 PM

@Frank I wouldn't say it's for no good reason if it's providing definition and context.

@Blem the grass is greener on your desktop background

(SEE WHAT I DID THERE)

@Wipqozn I would. There's literally no reason to do it.

@Frank Providing definitions for words in your question is a reason.

user image

thats my background

@Wipqozn Definitions that can be provided with a single link, and readers can follow from there if desired.

10:27 PM

@Blem It's got trees and waterplants in it. My point stands.

@Frank or they can follow them here.

or they can just nto follow any at all.

Just because the links are there doesn't mean you need to follow them.

also why do you want to set @PrivatePansy on fire?

@Wipqozn Or we can go in circles about this and not come to an understanding, so we can drop it.

@Frank No, this si the internet.

SERIOUS

BUSINESS

@Wipqozn Sure is!

But I'm leaving now, so you'll be talking to yourself!

So nyah!

10:29 PM

Wipqozn's continued and sustained reign of typoes terror means @Frank is the automatic winner

badp has removed Wipqozn from the list of this room's owners.

Nooooooo

Well, at least when @badp removes me he makes sure there is a reason.

that said, downvoting posts for including links feels kinda silly

@badp he is not on fire, isn't he in singapore?

@Blem I forget on which side of that divide Singapore is.

Either he's on fire, or he's on fire (by effect of kalina) and drowning

(FAIR DISCLOSURE: I am under the effect of musical drugs)

10:35 PM

Uh, OK.... so, I started watching the season 4 opener ("Founder's Day") of Eureka and during the "Previously on Eureka" bit, the very last scene is one I don't remember seeing.

Does anyone who has seen it know if that's intentional?

Q: How to play Call of Duty World at War without having to put in the disc?

This is the Games for Windows version, and I don't like how it makes my computer loud when I have the disc in it.

games-for-windows call-of-duty-world-at-war

Googling seems to agree that it's not part of a previous episode...

@Powerlord What happened at the end of Season 3 again?

Yeah, that's correct. It's a little prologue to the season

@Frank Tess left for Australia and gave Carter a ticket to come visit her.

The "previously on" bit in question shows the two of them breaking up via hologram.

10:39 PM

The time line in Eureka was messed up, but atleast it wasnt as bad as Heroes

It was just so that people didn't go "Where's Tess" without having to give useless exposition

@MBraedley We knew she moved away and I thought the implication was that she was being written off the show

@Powerlord but there was still the thought that it might just be an inter-season bus ride, to use a TVTropes term

Oh, apparently it was a flashback to like 5 minutes before the episode started.

They couldn't just include it as part of the episode?

@Powerlord they probably could have

10:44 PM

damn you @badp how long will i be listening to this?

I just don't think they wanted to "start" the episode with that

Get it out of the way in a prologue bit, then let the episode run it's course

Oh, hey. Hollow Fragment is being localized for sometime this summer.

cc @anyone else who likes SAO.

And Xillia 2 in August! Yay, so many good games.

Now if they'd only give North America Layton v. Wright...

user43095

Red Orchestra 2 is free on Steam today, if you guys didn't know

10:50 PM

@badp I don't live in Australia

@JeffreyLin thx, it is in the Star List :)

I'd love to see avatars, but apparently Nightly doesn't want to let me click on ghostery.

Also Nightly is starting to look a lot like Chrome.

Figures.

@Powerlord I don't remember that either

But I remember seeing that bit

@Frank The last time someone did this, the game released on PSN the following week. :D

Also, Eureka is awesome

Do you watch Warehouse 13, too?

@SaintWacko I'm actually almost caught up with Warehouse 13

I would say "am caught up" but its final season just started a few weeks ago

@Powerlord I need to get caught up

11:20 PM

@Blem I am Death!

Is there a way to turn off the (# (new message)) notifications in the tab title?

@SaintWacko saw the first set of episodes till it went on break the first time, then i never got started on it again

@SaintWacko I still need to watch Season 3.

I keep putting it off.

@James No, that would be @Wipqozn.

11:46 PM

@Yuki Isn't that a picture of him?

11:56 PM

@Blem awww is this @Wipqozn's baby?

Q: How do I get a flight potion flask?

I saw on Jadedcat's stream that there is an item called a Potion Flask, which can have the flight effect added to it. I've looked through NEI, and can't find any of the recipes that use the potion flask though. How can I make a flight potion flask in the Agrarian Skies pack?
