From what I've seen

Q: Please help me find the name of this card?

OsirisI've been looking for a certain card, but cannot remember it's name or effect , all i remember is its design, a green backround, with a David's star looking desing on the foreground, it's a trap card , what is its name?

 
8:44 AM
@Taisho what
 
@Prix I don't know where that is from, but you can try Google reverse image search, TinEye, SauceNAO or iqdb.
 
@AsadaShino thx ;)
 
^^
Sacred shoe school of seven miracles? (VERY loose translation)
I have a lot to learn, in terms of kanji and just plain words xD (Thank you rikaikun) :P
 
@AsadaShino of what
 
@Prix The image you asked taisho about
the Google reverse image search gives that as sort of 'alt' text
"聖 靴 学院 の 七 不思議"
 
8:50 AM
Oh I just wanted to see the what text lol
 
Oh lol xD
 
Hijiri kutsu gakuin no nana fushigi
my auto translation gives me a better text then yours it seems
Seven wonders of the Kiyoshikutsu School
 
Hahaha, yes, much better xD
As I said, very loose translation, based on a very limited knowledge of vocab and kanji and overall language :p
Still learning ~_~

@Krazer Oh god, please tell me they aren't going to reuse his voice as an adult :|
 
What do you mean exactly? The seiyuu for naruto, being an adult or naruto being an adult and still using his old (young?) voice?

Good <appropriate designation for your respective timezone>!
 
@Yuuki Morning
Always say "morning" when you enter
and "good night" when you leave.
Yeah
Although Hamas did manage to kidnap a soldier
So a shitstorm is coming.
 
@MadaraUchiha There always seems to be a shitstorm on the horizon in that area of the world.
Hoo boy, bringing Ebola patients to America.
@ton.yeung And the CDC and a bunch of other organizations are overseeing things.
It should be fine.
But yeah, Ebola is scary as f---.
@ton.yeung Yeah, I shudder to think of what would happen if the 85%-fatality strain began an outbreak.

Anyone remember something from Digimon?
 
@ton.yeung It's gotten up to ~90%.
And one "outbreak" was technically 100% but that was because it only infected one person.
 
4:51 PM
 
@MadaraUchiha I remember a couple things.
Is there anything specific you want me to recall?
 
@LoganM Honestly, not surprising. It's kind of weird, but it's definitely very true.
 
Gigantic cube digimon that's capable of undoing digivolution
 
@user1306322 Siegmeyer!
 
Anyone remembers the name?
 
4:55 PM
@MadaraUchiha ... Apocalymon? Maybe?
 
That's the one
 
@Yuuki Dang it, you won. :(
 
@ton.yeung It was in one of the movies.
@Eric I'm a little terrified that I got it so quickly.
I haven't watched or touched Digimon in ages.
 
@Eric The last thing about Digimon I recall was something "Tamers" and humans turning into Digimon. Those two might not be related.
 
4:59 PM
@ton.yeung I did at first, too, but the original characters were in Adventure 2 so much that it was amazing. Tamers was good, too, because of how meta it was mostly.
 
@ton.yeung So you prefer the Pokemon-style of "forever 12-year old Ash"?
 
@Yuuki Really?
 
@Yuuki They are not. Tamers was amazing. The latter, I do not recall which series it was in because I never watched that one.
 
I'm pretty sure I saw it in the TV anime
Which movie?
 
@MadaraUchiha I remember the timeline was the second generation, but they brought the original DigiDestined back.
I think it was actually introducing the second generation.
 
5:00 PM
@Yuuki ten
 
@MadaraUchiha Yeah. I guess I'm thinking of a different Apocalymon.
@ton.yeung Can't find anything about a Chinese kid.
@ton.yeung Can't today. I have to take my sister to a dental appointment. Maybe tomorrow?
 
5:15 PM
hey, the antipiracy movement of manga sites continue: meti.go.jp/english/press/2014/0730_01.html
@ton.yeung I'm jelly
@ton.yeung touring with lady gaga apparently
 
@Krazer ... Hmm... does that count Batoto? Because I'm pretty sure they take down any scanlations of manga that have been licensed overseas.
Not sure about what constitutes piracy or not when it comes to manga.
 
@Krazer Great...
Because MangaFox, MangaReader, and all those MangaXXX are run by people who don't give a flying f--k about C&Ds.
 
5:53 PM
@MadaraUchiha right that was supposed to start today
@Yuuki I'm not so sure about that.
I still miss btjunkie.
 
 
1 hour later…
6:59 PM
@JugemJugem Good job. I knew I could count on you for spam.
12 hours ago, by Logan M
Haven't seen Jugem bug out recently. Not sure if that's because they fixed the feed or it just hasn't happened.
 
7:39 PM
@Krazer Here is the list of pirate website, please don't use any of them?
 
lol this SOA troll guy is still at it.
He's left a bunch of comments on posts which basically amount to "I don't get it". He's started pointless duplicate discussions where the answer is an obvious generalization of already existing posts, and refused to accept that they answer his questions. He's taken essentially every comment as an offensive attack even if they're trying to be helpful. He's refusing to accept that he might be even a little bit wrong or that other people know what they're talking about.
Basically, he's acting as close to a help vampire as you can on Area 51 (while himself criticizing the proposal for being a haven for help vampires)
 
There might be some low IQ person using SE, if they can
 
I don't really care what his circumstances are. Whatever the reason, he's acting like a hilarious idiot.
 
Why hasn't he been banned?
 
because the only mods on Area 51 are CMs, and they're all too nice to ban a user just because he's being disruptive
I've only ever seen 2 people be suspended on Area 51, both for deliberate and persistent trolling across multiple proposals.
Also A51 is basically entirely meta content in some sense. And it's pretty rare for people to be banned for things on meta.
 
8:07 PM
@LoganM SOA troll?
 
@Mysticial The guy I was talking about yesterday. He posted this and at least a dozen comments yesterday.

Q: This is a duplicate site proposal

Jason CProposal: Stack Overflow Academy This site already exists at http://stackoverflow.com/help. Failing that, there is always http://meta.stackoverflow.com.

 
oh
ahaha
 
Actually he posted 13 comments on A51 proper and 17 on Discussion zone
 
8:26 PM
Wasn't he banned?
Unbanned already?
@Taisho What's that from?
 
He wasn't banned that I know of
That was a different guy
 
oh
 
He's the one who was banned
The guy today is basically trolling the SO Academy proposal by spamming the same canned arguments against it that have been said since day one.
I agree with much of what he's saying, but the way he's saying it is particularly reminiscent of help vampires on SO. Which incidentally are basically his whole argument in the first place for why the proposal shouldn't exist.
 
I don't think the proposal will survive either. But I'm willing to be proven wrong.
 
8:42 PM
I don't think it will work either, but creating yet another discussion to that effect which just duplicates previous ones isn't helping anyone either.
 
8:53 PM
There is a large population of competent programmers who are afraid to ask on SO. But I don't really know how large it is compared to the hordes helpless vampires.
SO Academy is clearly targeted towards the this group.
 
Competent programmers rarely have a question which is both suitable and answerable for SO.
Either it's off topic or too complex/requires esoteric knowledge to answer.
 
But if it goes beta, I have a very strong feeling that the meta downvote mentality will spill over and it'll be all downhill.
 
TBH I kind of want it to go to closed beta. It will be a mess that I'd love to watch.
 
@Eric If i can't find an answer to a question I have, I ask in chat. I don't flamed because I'm a regular.
 
@Mysticial How often is it suitable for SO? I mean, I've asked (I think) 12 questions, most of which were "good". But as I said, it's rare.
 
8:55 PM
@Eric Half of the time, they turn out to be dupes that I couldn't find.
 
I find 90%+ of the questions now are people who shouldn't be programming to begin with.
@Mysticial Right, there's that category too.
 
I feel like a lot of the problem people have is that they can't be helped in the Q&A format in the first place. Maybe not all of them, but certainly some of the questions on SOA are going to be best answered as "don't even try to post this on SO, go read a book instead".
 
If it makes it to beta, it should have an exclusive "Don't post this; RTFM" close reason.
Hell, regular SO should have that.
 
I don't know if that should be a close reason or just a canned answer
 
8:57 PM
Too much effort to type it.
Easier to click "close", select a radio button, and be done with it.
 
Even when the answer is "don't post this", you can teach someone something by explaining why it doesn't work. That way they'll know how far they have to go before they can ask.
 
Screw it, I'm gonna follow and commit to that proposal just to see what happens. If I can get people to ask better performance questions, (and not of the bullshit, "Which is faster < or >?"), then it'll be a win.
 
@Mysticial which is faster > or <
plz advice me
 
This is the first decent performance question I've seen in a while. (not perfect since it's too long, but still good)
Actually, it's the first decent performance question I've seen in months.
But I don't know the answer.
 
Too much datums.
@Mysticial waitwut
Isn't perf stuff your job? xD
 
9:08 PM
@Mysticial I disagree with this
 
wah we are still on yesterday discussion? :P
 
I have a hypothesis that's mildly supported by the data the OP gave. But to confirm it, I'd need to get an assembler and try to reverse engineer Intel's implementation of a specific instruction.
 
I brought it back up because the guy came back
 
That's a lot of work. Especially since I don't write assembly.
 
@LoganM /like
 
9:10 PM
@LoganM Wait, was that the same guy?
@Mysticial So what are you waiting for?
 
@Eric Same guy last night as today
 
There are some time quite advanced questions on why something doesn't work even goes into the CLR or further explaining it and I rather enjoy those.
 
Weird.
 
He's still adding comments
 
lol..
 
9:11 PM
@LoganM what guy Myst?
 
@Prix scroll up
 
oh the A51 dude? that got shut over and over
 
No not the one from 2 days ago, the one from yesterday
 
@Eric I'd need to set up a dev-environment to write and compile assembly. That's a lot of work since I've never done it before.
 
Sounds like fun!
 
9:13 PM
I have other things to do. :(
 
@Mysticial Nyanpassu~~
@LoganM so they banned him from posting because he was trying to get other proposals banned by flooding?
 
@Prix Guy from 2 days ago was banned for trolling
Guy from yesterday/today isn't banned.
 
oh
#post some love
 
9:33 PM
Anyone happens to have a good image of Madara's perfect stabilized Susanoo's face?
 
Oh, lookie here. A giant blue thing.
 
9:50 PM
@Eric That giant blue thing can rip a new one in your shadowy ass (although yerr not pride anymore)
 
@MadaraUchiha Not only does it not stand a chance against my former shell, my vastly augmented assassin power can take your giant blue thing and gnaw on it for breakfast.
@ton.yeung wut
 
@ton.yeung you mean the almighty disciple or w/e?
hope they make more anime besides the left OVA
 
@MadaraUchiha -_-'
 
10:23 PM
kira kira ne
 
10:42 PM
@Damn you @Eric. I proved my own hypothesis correct. I ended up using inline assembly instead of setting up an assembly dev-environment.
