morning all
 
aloha @DMA57361 :)
 
hello, slight modification to profile page...
"top 1% this quarter"
 
top 1% overall :\
 
but you've been on the 1st page ever since I joined haven't you :P
lol, I'm top 11% this quarter on MSO... :/
 
yeah, but I'm steadily falling down the list
 
8:30 AM
@IvoFlipse true, but there's a lot of falling to do before you stop being highly ranked
 
true
and I don't care :P
I'll get more rep on fitness at this rate
 
lol
 
8:51 AM
howdy folks
 
hi @Sathya
 
hey @IvoFlipse
 
9:23 AM
some people give such shitty answers, I can't wait until I'm a mod on this site :P

Q: What can I use to monitor my running training?

Ivo FlipseAfter a period of inactivity I recently started running again and want know what gadgets or tools I use to monitor my training. Some requirements: It should offer training programs (based on my level or goal) It should graphically show my progress over time It should be mobile, so I can take i...

 
private beta....
 
right, well you'll see it in a week then :P
either I should be back to reading :P
 
lol
 
9:58 AM
Meh... Can someone obliterate them again? &
 
not without bumping the questions
 
Too much to remove them all myself again, I wonder why they aren't blacklisted...
@Sathya: So, only @JeffAtwood can burninate them?
 
yes
 
(Or another valued associate, but he is usually around.)
 
> either master or remove tag is blank; can't proceed
 
10:00 AM
I'll add it to the meta post, I don't know if Jeff is notified by my above message.
 
an alternative is to merge with & but again, that's pointless
 
@Sathya: Yes, because they would simply have .
 
10:14 AM
which I believe is what @JeffAtwood did - we were left with that
 
No, they should only be if they don't have any tags.
 
I doubt that - but only the VA's know.

12:28 PM
@IvoFlipse how's your domination of Fit/Nut going? :P
@Sathya I figured the eightbit thing out... thanks... sorry was being so dumb :)
 
no worries @KronoS it isn't obvious.. few others have asked the same :p
 
I see... how ya been?
 
not bad @KronoS though the kind of questions is a bit 'basic'
but I have to read some more first, before I can answer again
so don't rush out any great questions :P
 
@IvoFlipse ya... I've already started to do some "cleaning" lol...
I'm not really an expert in this field, but can tell when question suck or not
@IvoFlipse ok I'll contain myself and my never-ending search for truth until the Almighty Ivo can impart of his knowledge... :P
 
hehe :P
I want to answer some questions with a little bit more science/physiology
 
12:59 PM
@KronoS not bad.. days going on
 
I can't tell... is that you under the water @IvoFlipse? :P
 
1:24 PM
@IvoFlipse or@TomWij or @Sathya I've installed Python 2.7 previously... how do I integrate that into the python(x,y)?
 
no clue @KronoS
 
python(x,y) is just a prepacked interp + lots of libraries
so just install the libraries you need in to the 2.7 interp you've installed
 
@DMA57361 when you say "install" do you mean just copy over? or actually re-install python(x,y) into the Python2.7 folder?
 
niether
I mean install the 2.7 version of each library you need in to the 2.7 setup
look at wxPython - it has lots of version depending on which version of python you're using
(for example)
that said copying libraries over might work, since 2.7 is newer than 2.6, but why take the chance of ending up with obscure bugs?
 
no it's not @KronoS and I wouldn't count on every library working in 2.7
but I'm sure there's a math version that's compatible with 2.6
 
1:33 PM
@IvoFlipse math is a built-in library thou, isn't it? Can you update them seperately?
 
hmm good call, perhaps there's a third party version that's better than @KronoS
 
what do you need a newer version of math for?
 
math.gamma @DMA57361
 
there was one function he needed to integrate some formula
 
ah
 
1:34 PM
it's not included in 2.6
 
can you steal the code for it from the 2.7 math library?
 
@IvoFlipse funny thing actually... I had the wrong formula :P
 
what did you do wrong?
 
@DMA57361 I hadn't thought of that...
It was literally the wrong equation... lol
 
@DMA57361 I'd suggest against that..
 
1:36 PM
@Sathya why?
 
dependencies missing
 
@DMA57361 possible dependencies missing
:X
@IvoFlipse stole my reply
:p
 
I suggest you try something else instead of gamma, surely you're not asking for anything obscure
 
true, but in that case it'll just fail and then you move on to the next option
 
@IvoFlipse I'm pretty sure that I need gamma, but then again I really don't know of any alternatives...
 
1:41 PM
true @both :P
I'm going back to reading!
 
lol... I went back to doing homework the hand written way... I'll work with python later

 Homework Help

Help on homework for all you starving students out there...
anybody mind lending a hand?

Q: How can I transfer videos from my iPhone 4 to my computer?

green7o7oHi! I have an iPhone 4 which needs upgrading, which will erase all the data I've stored on it. Now when I want to transfer the videos, I have no idea to do that, there is no such option. When I connect my iPhone to my computer, it gives me 4 folders, inside 3 are only pictures and the 4th one is ...

One RTFM, one lmgtfy...
 
3:48 PM
I mean, does this qualify as an answer?
0
A: How can I transfer videos from my iPhone 4 to my computer?

RobYes it is possible. Simply read the manual that came with your iPhone. Or LOOK for plenty of answers to this question online. I suspect you haven't done that yet.

 
@oKtosiTe no I've commented to both parties...
@oKtosiTe did you already flag? I suggest doing so...
 
I did on the lmgtfy one.
 
good... that's all that's needed, the mods will take care of them
 
I flagged the question and both answers, in fact. Question as off-topic.
 
I voted to close and posted question on vote to close chat room...@oKtosiTe plus @Sathya seems to be aware of it...
 
4:11 PM
I voted to close to... I at least tried to edit the answer to be semi useful but apparently the person answering wanted nothing to do with being helpful
 
@Kyle doesn't itunes automatically backup your ipod/iphone before updatiing anyways?
@Kyle and technically the question is on-topic here... just might be better served on thinkdifferent.SE depending on what OS they're running
 
^ I believe it does, I haven't used an Ipod in a while though....
I thought it was on topic because it was about interfacing with the PC but with those kind of answers I guess it's just better off closed....
this is why they have comments
 
howdy @peelman any questions?
is prepared for any rants as well :)
 
I do feel bad though because the OP came here with a legitimate concern and someone could have easily answered and earned my upvote...
 
@Kyle I agree, and it still can be saved by a good answer...
 
4:18 PM
actually @peelman did, even before my edit, at least he gave the guy a link.
 
I would answer myself, but I'm unsure at the moment and also need to work on HW
 
I just want to point out that the LMGTFY link was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but the direct link to apple support, which you got by searching for almost the guy's exact title, was THE answer, straight from Apple's mouth.
 
@peelman yep and you got my upvote for that...
 
and I included both links. The first to show the guy that there's no reason to go ask a quesiton and wait for an answer when you can find one yourself in 15 seconds. the second to serve as a reference
 
@peelman links only are still a low quality answer... it's better to summarize the contents of the link, and link as reference

4:20 PM
My Outlook keeps asking me to authenticate to a Sharepoint server. Would a question on troubleshooting that be SU or SF?
 
You probably could have made off with some points if you just quoted the lines from the article it took me like 10 seconds..
 
I don't like quoting documentation that can change.
 
@peelman tongue-in-cheek for some is offensive to others
 
The steps aren't probably going to change that drastically in the future
 
if apple updates the stuff tomorrow (which they will do, its just a matter of when) then what i quote is now out of date for future use.
does that matter?
"probably" isn't something i like dealing with.
 
4:21 PM
@peelman you like getting low-blowed while asking for help ?
 
@Sathya, my point still stands.
If i ask a question without doing any research before hand? yeah, I've come to expect it.
 
Not really if it works it works, whether they update it to include newer versions of Itunes or windows it still worked at that time..
 
What about the apple SE
Would couldn't just migrate it over there instead of closing the question?
 
it's on-topic for Super User.
 
ahh...
sorry, didn't see that in the discussion
 
4:23 PM
> cell phones or smart phones, except insofar as they interface with your computer
 
@peelman: there are friendlier ways to say the same thing, e.g., "A quick Google search for xyz came back with zyx".
 
thanks for the clarification @Sathya
 
btw, @Kyle & @KronoS: ^^
 
9 mins ago, by KronoS
@Kyle and technically the question is on-topic here... just might be better served on thinkdifferent.SE depending on what OS they're running
@Sathya
 
can it be closed still - probably yes due to lack of Information (regd: no OS provided)
 
4:24 PM
@Sathya Good point.
 
I'll leave it up to you folks :)
 
not that it matters, but it has my vote to be closed.
 
@Sathya shirkin your duties eh ;P
@peelman your vote does count... that's what makes this a "community"
 
And @peelman as @oKtosiTe mentions - there's no reason why you cannot provide a Google link.
 
and that's why we strive to make it a place where learning and growth can happen, that's why just links, some tongue-in-cheek, and others aren't allowed... it doesn't help others to learn
 
4:26 PM
> this is how you can do blah, blah - & hey - you can always do a quick search to get this details
 
@peelman, If you post back with the link from before, and perhaps a small excerpt, or how you found it, you'd have my vote.
 
^ mine as well
 
meh. I'm over it.
you guys wnat the points go for it.
 
@oKtosiTe agreed... @peelman we aren't here to tell not to answer, just make it a little better and be respectful :)
 
you get the points @peelman.
 
@peelman points don't matter, it's again quality.... points will always flow with quality
2
 
^ so true
 
@KronoS indeed ;)
 
and I'm not in it for points. :p
having street cred is nice, but not necessary. I have to go shower and meet a guy for lunch anyway.
later guys
 
have fun @peelman
 
4:31 PM
@Sathya what's the count (diago 12 you 16)
 
@KronoS no of mod interventions/actions taken
 
@Sathya well you're just a little busy bee aren't you ;)
 
@peelman See you!
 
the heck - my right arrow key is no longer "puffy" :/
any idea how I can bring it up to the original level ?
@KronoS ;)
 
Someone had to do it, might as well be me.
 
4:40 PM
what's that @oKtosiTe ?
hi @Diago
 
Ello
 
Well, since the answer @peelman gave got removed, someone had to try again...
 
hey @Diago
 
Wil
@Sathya Laptop or desktop?
 
@Wil laptop Wil, it's got the chicklet keyboard
 
Wil
4:44 PM
Was going to say carefully rip off the key and remove dirt... Never seen a laptop with a chicklet board :S
 
howdy all
 
hi @DMA57361
 
Wil
Aren't the keys still micro switch, just with that underneath?
@DMA57361 and hi!
 
yes, the key works
I don't have tactile feedback
 
4:48 PM
@DMA57361 Howdy partner.
 
Wil
@Sathya oh... ok, usually it is because a little bit of dirt stuck, but... I'll shut up as I haven't personally tried moving keys for some time on newish laptops...
 
:(
 
@Wil they are easy to take off but a PITA to get back on
 
@DMA57361: Where does the number (57361) come from?
 
Wil
@Kyle for sure!
 
4:53 PM
> ...a pseudo-random number that I generated by literally hitting the num pad on my keyboard with my hand.
 
@Wil Yeah, I've never even tried typing on one of those keyboards.

Q: How can laptop keyboard keys be removed and replaced?

Lord TorgamusI'm trying to fix a laptop keyboard that has issues with keys on its left side. Just by feel, it's clear that something sticky got under there. There could be something crunchy too, but that might just be the sound of the key's spring releasing itself from the sticky. I don't know the cause be...

still searching for chicklet keyboards
 
@Dma57361 I was so disappointed in ur answer to that. I was so hoping that it was the 5 numbers to your world domination code :P
 
hehe
yeah, it's pretty dull really, but such is life
btw (@everyone), check out this user script... it's looks pretty awesome
4
 
sweet, I could add my offtopic ones there too
 
5:04 PM
yeah, I'm just tweaking the script now to use my own comments; but you can double-click to edit them as well if you wish
 
57361 = 5+7+3+6+1 = 22 = 2+2 = 4 ( there @KronoS that's the @DMA's SECRET!)
 
:O oh noes! They've worked out that I'm really 2²
 
@DMA57361 I use Phrase Express for the time being
 
at the moment I just type stuff :/
oh, they've added decimal places to the profile page rankings now then?
I'm now "top 0.76% this quarter" apparently
 
I'm at top 0.29% overall :/
hmm?
 
5:15 PM
yeah, you beat me to it
 
anyhow, I'll see ya'll tomorrow. good evening all.
 
bye

Just, so you all know XD
 
Congrats. Lord knows how I would fare if I had to take driving exams now!
(passed in about 1983)
 
@Linker3000 Haha! XD
Well good you don't have to take any :D
 
So wassup?

@KronoS you around?
 
@Troggy yes sir! but for only about ten mins... what's up?
 
Make sense what I said? I just wanted to make sure. Had to use iPhone to log into chat here.
 
@Troggy lol, ya makes sense... if the answer belongs within the OP then add... if it's a comment, then leave it up to you guys
right?
hates iOS autocorrect on SE chat
 
Perfect. I wouldn't mind people helping out like @Ivo said because it is less work. But, we also want to keep user content associated to the correct users.
 
8:47 PM
sorry @Troggy what do you want to hep me with? :P
 
Makes sense... I didn't know about the comment conversion tool that you guys have... otherwise I would've let them be
@IvoFlipse been real busy over at fit and nut... we might have to get another mod here at SU :P
aight gotta head y'all... last class of the day...
 
good luck @KronoS :)
 
Later @KronoS
@Ivo i see what you did there
 
I wasn't really following the conversation here sorry
 
9:10 PM
Take a look at question #104400 @Ivo
 
oh right, but I thought he was implying to use this when a user posted a follow up as an 'answer'
 
9:44 PM
@Wil: I'm going too party too... :D

Problem is, that is at run-time on my server in Release mode, I've got no clue how to track down that Stack Overflow. :D
 
Good afternoon, all.
 
10:08 PM
Whoa...
I found that it overflowed because of other errors occuring too much, which where SqlDecimal to Decimal conversions.
Problem was... Regional Settings caused the conversions to fail. :D
So, adding , CultureInfo.InvariantCulture to the conversions to Decimal solve this problem. :-)
Or better yet, add Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.InvariantCulture; to my Application Startup because I don't want anything to go wrong because I forgot to convert it right somewhere.
