1:00 PM
@badp the wow part is if I wasn't allowing him to get to row 3 for a bit I'd have taken him already
 
Hmm, I'm coming up on 1000 days on Meta. I should probably be committed to an insane asylum at this point.
 
Wlecome!
 
wlecome to you too!
 
day 1019 of Arqade is coming to a close
 
@TimStone Every time I read the starred messages I actually think that the bridge is an insane asylum. Or some crazy anonymous help group.... :)
 
1:02 PM
we wonder to organize something cool for day 1,024 but came short with ideas :(
 
@PatrickStalder Fair point.
 
@PatrickStalder Jin summed it up perfectly the other day
2 days ago, by Jin
I just realized the star wall on the right is like a hall of fame of no-context messages.
 
2 days ago, by OrigamiRobot
inb4 context
 
gawd I just saw what has been started for me.
 
@badp 321 days, 321 consecutive
44 days until I get yearling!

Q: Got an achievement that was meant for another user

StromI think there's a bug in the StackExchange achievement system. I received an announcer badge for a question that I've never seen before. What makes it even more look like a bug is the fact that my user id is 606, and that the user who asked that question is 6066.

 
@kalina Sickening
 
@fredley You live close to her. Go do something about it
 
Sepia Lazers? Is that new?
 
@Sconibulus its just lazers with different colours
@badp what do you mean by "go do something about it"
 
@kalina less colours
@kalina I think @badp wants me to kill you
 
1:09 PM
@fredley "different" isn't wrong, don't argue with me
 
@kalina Don't you argue with me!
 
@fredley surely you know that if you tried to kill me, I'd set fire to you, right?
 
@kalina I would only become more delicious
 
@fredley overcooked
CHARCOAL
I WOULD DESTROY YOU
ahem
 
WHAT YOU GONNA DO NOW???
 
1:11 PM
Tasty charcoal.
 
and then I'd actively sockpuppet using your account, get them merged, steal your gold tag badge
 
@kalina You can't sockpuppet what you can't control
 
@fredley after destroying you, control would no longer be an issue
 
@kalina 2FA Beyotch
 
@fredley Torture with FIRE.
 
1:13 PM
@kalina Once I'm ablaze I'll just hug you.
 
@Kalina You want to torture a piece of charcoal?
 
Hugging is best offence.
 
tie you up in a dark room and intermittently play the sounds of creepers until you break
3
 
@kalina I said "something"
"throw you a party" is "something"
"make you a cake" is "something"
 
@badp Too late, I'm already tied up and hugging @kalina
 
1:14 PM
@fredley Oh, you offered yourself as a plaything to her? Kinky
 
@fredley you wish you were hugging, unfortunately that needle in your arm is filling you with hallucinogenics, you don't know what's going on anymore
 
@kalina You can't make a lump of charcoal hallucinate!
Also, how am I typing this when I have no arms?
 
@fredley I can make anything hallucinate

Q: Where to find better weapons in Guild wars 2

Marco GeertsmaSo i am currently approaching lvl 70 with my warrior but i am quite disappointed with the gear i'm still using. I believe i use an uncommon great-sword and still have regular armour. Although they do quit some damage (or block damage) im looking for some better (cool looking ) armour since i stil...

 
you know that pigs can digest human bones? I wonder what would happen if I unleashed a starving pig in this dark room I have you locked up in
 
1:16 PM
bacon will be had either way
 
honestly I don't have a torture dungeon
2
I wish I did though
 
I'm just wondering how a porkchop can be tortured in the first place... speaking of insane asylum....
 
@kalina you can probably rent it
 
@badp Those things are expensive!
 
@badp meh there are enough abandoned buildings, I could just use one of them
 
1:17 PM
if you offer to be recorded and have the video of it be put on purchase on the internet and your dressing is lewd enough, they could even pay you for it!
 
@badp interesting thought
 
@badp Pork chop with lewd dressing
 
pay per view 'reality tv' torture
 
@kalina that's one way to put "pornography"
 
@badp you are a sick sick person
 
1:18 PM
@kalina reality tv porkchop torture
 
@kalina =D
 
anyway, I don't need to torture @fredley in order to have more internet numbers than he does
 
@kalina ...but it helps
 
not really, I could probably quit the site and still pass you the moment you stop badge hunting
 
@kalina I never stop badge hunting
 
1:21 PM
I SWEAR TO GOD THESE SWEETS TASTE LIKE SOAP
 
I loved how quickly you 180°d as soon as you realized why they'd pay you
 
@badp There's plenty of people who'd pay to participate
 
does the world really need more Kalina snuff?
 
what do you mean "more"?
 
@kalina Some people like me taste coriander like soup
 
1:24 PM
more than what currently exists... whether it be zero, or some other number...
 
@Sconibulus good save there
 
KALINA SNUFF: IT'S THE STUFF OF ANGELS*
2
 
my angel dust brings all the boys to the yard
 
You got saved there by my lack of Gimp installed on Ubuntu
 
even if you had gimp, any graphical work done by you is of such a poor quality that nobody would be able to tell what it is anyway
 
1:27 PM
I'd reuse my portrait anyway
 
the quality of some of the stars today is poor
 
 
terrible
 
awesome
 
surely the best form of torture would be the play the sound of a crying baby at really loud volumes
 
1:29 PM
That is literally my mind canon of you
(well adjusted to a 16×16 resolution)
 
your mind is only capable of 16x16
you'll never see the big picture
 
citation needed
 
you're probably stuck in 16 colours as well
@badp this wasn't done by the real badp
if you look closely it's actually lots of different 16x16 pictures, stuck together
 
img[Attributes Style] {
width: 352px;
height: 218px;
}
218 isn't a multiple of 16
 
with some cropping to try and disprove me
 
1:33 PM
my point stands
16×16 = 256
352 > 16×16
 
doesn't prove anything
you're now apply arbitrary limits in an attempt to look right
desperately trying
 
if my limits are 16×16, my collages must at most be limited to 16×16 pictures
 
here, have a cookie
and then perhaps your 16x16 collages also consist of 16x16
 
your fleeble attempts at recursion leave me unimpressed
 
your feeble attempts at spelling leave me rolling on the floor laughing yet somehow still typing

Q: I'm a blind manager for an artist and im totally lost on how this works

Andrew Charles KochI need help with learning how to set up a web page for a country signed artist being blind im totally lost on this.

Okay, being blind is probably a legitimate excuse for getting Meta and Stack Overflow confused.
 
@badp Your feeble attempts at recursion leave me unimpressed
 
@fredley You're a porkchop, the only impression you have is the one of your ribs
 
@badp I'll leave an impression on your ass.
That is, if you eat me.
 
@fredley I'll pass
 
@badp Probably wise. Pork is a relatively unhealthy meat.
 
1:39 PM
@fredley fresh meat! Would eat 10/10.
 
@PatrickStalder This porkchop has been sitting around here for three years
I wouldn't call that "fresh"
 
@fredley is secretly a McRib.
 
@badp Rare-breed, aged, hung pork.
 
@TimStone well that'd make sense, McD's never goes off...
 
@TimStone I'll have nothing to do with Capitalist Pigs

Q: Posting cheats/easter eggs

hjpotter92I think I found a cheat/hack/easter-egg in some game. Is it OK to post them as my own question and answer? ( http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/07/its-ok-to-ask-and-answer-your-own-questions/ ) Or are we disallowed to post tricks/cheats?

Q: What benefits does a sniper rifle offer over a rifle?

BeofettIn my first playthrough, I was using a rifle a lot with my Engineer. When I found the ingredients needed to upgrade to a sniper rifle, I did so, assuming it would be a better weapon. Instead, it seems pretty much the same, except it takes a lot longer to reload. It could have been coincidenc...

Q: Is there a way to catch a Pikachu fast on Pokemon World Online

JiaWei YangI have been trying to catch a Pikachu for like 2 hours and I haven't had any luck yet. Is there a fast way to go about it?

 
2:14 PM
urgggh i'm so bored.
 
Gah. I hate how you have to put a bounty on any reasonably complex question on SO to get people to read it.
At least, for something with only popular tags
 
@fredley You are doomed.
@fredley DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED
 
I've never had a question on SO answered with something that fixed the problem
 
@badp Luckily, I have reps on SO to give away
It still means you have to wait at least a few days to
ugh ugh ugh
 
DOOO
OOOO
OOOO
OMED
 
2:23 PM
Also, people downvoting your question because they've misunderstood it, because they haven't read it properly.
UGGGHGHGHGH
And having to restate your question in multiple comments
 
what question?

Q: OutOfMemoryException - How can I work around it?

Tom MedleyI'm capturing an image from the camera which I want to pass through some processing in OpenCV. On older devices, this is failing at the first hurdle though: public void onPictureTaken(byte[] jpeg, Camera c) { mImageBitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(jpeg, 0, jpeg.length); org.opencv.andr...

I don't want help on downsizing the image to display it
I just want to know how to calculate a reasonable size to downsize it to
 
@fredley SUCK LESS
I guess the screen resolution is reasonable
You can't show any more pixels than that anyway
...you're taking a picture? boo
 
@fredley I got that, it was pretty easy to under stand i would say
 
Enabling stalkers everywhere to keep tabs on @kalina
 
2:27 PM
@badp Fuck off. I am not displaying the image, read the question!
 
@fredley THAT IS CHEATING
You first smell it with your eyes closed
and say "yeah, this guy is doomed"
then you read every fifth word
this is important
"capturing" is the 2nd word so it gets skipped
"camera" is the 7th word so it's skipped too
 
@badp You are worse than useless.
 
@fredley I'm telling you how to StackOverflow man
 
@badp how do you know what words are being skipped without reading them?
 
@Sconibulus It becomes second nature
 
2:29 PM
@badp I second your nature
 
I didn't realise how high off sugar I was until I stood up and nearly faceplanted on the floor

PaperStare @badp
 
@badp  à² _ಠ
 
That is inefficient. I can get @OrigamiRob to stare at me all the time without the need of fancy paperstare incantations
 
@badp ಠ_ಠ
 
2:31 PM
@fredley getting asked to perform things you've already clearly stated you've done in the question over and over again
 
@kalina Yes.
 
@fredley Okay, I'm honestly not sure what bitmapToMat does but I've tried to improve your title
 
@badp It turns a Bitmap into a Mat. Make sense now?
 
Nope
 
@badp You are a stupid
 
2:33 PM
Your face is a Poqriowniz
 
@badp You don't get to make up words
 
oh wow, the world is spinning
 
You are not a dictionary
 
I may have consumed too much sugar
at least I'm not nearly falling asleep!
 
2:34 PM
@fredley If there's one thing that doesn't get to make up words, it's a dictionary
 
@badp Yes it does, where else do you think new words come from? @Wipqozn?
 
if a dictionary makes up a word it becomes literally a dictionary word in the process
@fredley That's precisely right. He's a member of the Commission générale de terminologie et de néologie
 
He's the guy who comes up with telechargez and fiche and courriel and jeunes pousses
 
oh, wait... already happened
 
2:38 PM
@badp And weekend and t-shirt
 
@fredley That would be @agent86
He's a UrbanDictionary contributor.
so that's how words are born.
You Poqriowniz
 
@badp No, those are all actually words, just with new definitions
@badp Porb
 
shhh shhh go back to your Mats
 
eugh, excessive sugar feels horrible
 
@badp I don't wanna!
 
2:40 PM
@fredley Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats Mats
 
I can think of loads of things its nicer to consume too much of
 
@kalina Surely by definition consuming too much of something is unpleasant?
 
@fredley too much salsa doesn't make the world spin and your head buzz
 
@kalina It does eventually
 
nuh uh
 
2:42 PM
@kalina Yuh-uh
 
NUH UH
 
@kalina YUH ... UH
@kalina I have no idea any more
Reading up the page is too much effort
 
too predictable
STARDENIED
 
mmm ice cream
 
2:47 PM
@RavenDreamer Yeah... Mine was at 3:36:19, yours was at 3:36:27...
Morning, Bridge
 
@SaintWacko evening
 
@kalina You have some wonderful stars this morning/evening
 
@SaintWacko I know, I don't know why
 
@kalina Smile Dips.
iTunes is... *sigh*
5
And no, there's absolutely no way of distinguishing these
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I hope this is a bad sigh
 
2:53 PM
I was going to say 'fucking retarded', but I'm afraid that would be too polite
 
yet you use it
 
Oh you can never be too polite
 
This morning...
I forgot my keys and authenticator and hardware key, so I had to go back home to get them
By the time I headed back to work, the ramp between the two highways I use was closed for construction >.<
And now someone at work has a new turkey call that they brought in to show off, and they won't stop playing with it
 
@SaintWacko set fire to them
 
@kalina Mmm... roast turkey for lunch...

Q: What is the name of this dungeon-crawler style rpg?

defhandIn the early 2000s I played this RPG with a friend.

I cannot for the life of me reme...

> Twitter Celebrates Earth Day By Being Rude To All Other Planets
That's either the stupidest or best headline I've read today
 
it would be hilarious if we could blame Twitter for an invasion of Earth by an alien race taking offence to that

Pft, the Martians are probably too drunk to drive over here and start an invasion. THAT'S RIGHT I SAID IT
 
somebody take these skittles away from me before I die
 
@kalina Are you hallucinating giant dogs and dolphins with arms popping out of their mouths that shoot rainbow lazer? If not you're not eating enough.

Pvt. GrichmannI'm playing the unmodded European version of the game, and I suspect the mission "Top Secret" is either bugged or made it into the game in an unfinished state.

Q: Will installing the game let me be able to play it if it gets scratched later?

AxshunJaxunWe have a bad habit of scratching games. I just bought a 320GB hdd for my 360 Slim. I plan on keeping the discs around still, but I know they will get scratched.

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Only on MSO so far
 
@MadScientist Of course. MSO always gets the goodies first.
 
@MadScientist Do beta sites still have that HOLY MOTHER OF SITE LINKS footer?
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone And I directly had to protest because Skeptics is in the wrong category
 
@YiJiang'sEvilClone MY Yoda = Jewish Living?
 
Also, SF&F goes into Life/Arts and not Culture/Recreation?
@Blem Yup
 
3:42 PM
skeptics should obviously go under 'other'
 
@kalina No, we're SCIENCE, dammit
 
ROFL
 
I suppose it could go both ways, but calling it Art is a bit of a stretch
 
@kalina Skepticism is obv. Recreation
 
@MadScientist Yeh ... no. :P
 
3:43 PM
@MadScientist that's brilliant, I've not laughed that much at anything you've ever sad
I'm going to be laughing about that for the rest of the day
 
@MadScientist someone could make a browser plug in to fix that!
 
@Blem We managed to sneak one Skeptic inside SE, so I think we'll be able to get it fixed properly
 
3:57 PM
hey, I'm a really skeptical person, does that mean I can call myself a scientist?

Q: Separate "Ask question" page for new users?

w4rumyIt seems that the more new users ask questions on SO, the more "bad quality" questions are asked as well.
