12:02 PM
oh boy FallenAngelEyes is standing in the traffic to get to Gamescom
 
O____o
 
Okay, now I need to get out the revisions that aren't the last ones. :)
And there we go, GO NUKE IT!

A: Dell Studio 17 - turning off suddenly

J.D.I know the answer to this problem, and will post at other sites the fix I have found. It IS a heat related problem, however, you can save yourself the $400-$800 fix that I have seen reported in forum strings like this one. Dell, in their infinite wisdom, felt it sufficient to seek out, and use,...

 
should I delete it or what?
 
Dunno, not necessarily. :P
It's just the longest post without any enter whatsoever. xD
 
12:13 PM
just add a few paragraphs
 
I'm going to finalize the query in the mean-time...
 
What has happened to the 10k tools? I can't see deleted answers :/ I wanted to try to see the one that Sathya did a picture from earlier
 
Ahhh... Didn't know that "Tools | Review" thing was a button! ... I just clicked on Tools and went straight to review
So, does everyone have the tools button now, but, the actual tools sub section is just for 10k+?
 
12:17 PM
it now remembers where you were in the tools!
@WilliamHilsum No, tools are still 10k only, review will stay like it was
 
Oh my god
 
@slhck I mean... I was over 10k when reviews were introduced, so I had no idea...
ahh, it doesn't matter... im rambling! found the tools, im happy
 
@WilliamHilsum Oooh, I see :P
Well that change was based on my suggestions here
and implemented here
 
@IvoFlipse: Seems my query doesn't handle SO though; there is probably optimization possible where the replaces are, but it's the first workaround I thought of that worked.
 
@TomWijsman you should add something to skip anything under 1000 words or something
 
12:22 PM
@slhck Next time I have an idea for something, il get you to post it! All my stuff just gets downvoted!
 
@IvoFlipse: Apparently, it also works for finding Zalgo posts.
 
@WilliamHilsum ooh.. what specifically?
 
That's the longest post, but it's actually rather short...
 
@slhck Just look at how many downvoted things I have on Meta!
@TomWijsman Ahh... you broke chat! Got scroll bars now and it scrolls when I send!!!
 
[status-completed]
 
12:25 PM
@WilliamHilsum I see, well I'd have supported that one in case it's a cosmetical edit only
I think the community reacts differently to different aspects of the site, it's weird sometimes
 
@slhck People just want to see you fail, because you have so much more rep than they do
Everything you say is put along a different scale than when others say it
 
@IvoFlipse: I hate it that I can't cancel a query, can't really find out the post length. Seems 1000 didn't work...
 
@TomWijsman check the result from SU, the subtract like 50% or perhaps even more
or skip SO :P
 
100000 returns nothing, 10000 is awfully slow; let's try 50000 next xD
 
@IvoFlipse You mean "you" as in me personally or "everything one says"?
 
12:36 PM
@IvoFlipse Yeah, would give nice results, I think...
 
@slhck I misclicked, I was aiming at @WilliamHilsum
 
But not worth spending time on such details, at least it works for SU.
 
oh, well but rep's different on meta.SO anyway
 
@IvoFlipse If you meant me on that above one I think you do.... I am not so sure :/ On MSO, I am nothing and people don't know me! ... Loads of things get down voted there, I just don't seem to have any luck! Unless you think otherwise...?
 
@WilliamHilsum I wouldn't be so sure about that
besides, if your that high above the crop, you yourself view things differently as well
you don't understand the problems of people who can't answers questions or don't know how to find stuff (well not literally but you get the point)
thanks for the comments + edits @slhck
I should buy a mac, just so I can edit answers :P
 
12:48 PM
@IvoFlipse Not a thing, I'm always pro poking new users towards writing better answers :P
 
@IvoFlipse I can understand that I view things different, but, not sure I fully agree about people knowing me... may be different if I was number 1 :/
@IvoFlipse huh? :/
 
@IvoFlipse (meta.SO-) 10k only
 
I get where you're coming from, but if you ask a question like that they think: will has 2700 answers, if 10% of those aren't accepted because they're abandoned, then you get a huuuuuge amount of rep

Q: Should question and answer edits make a question go to the top?

William Hilsum Possible Duplicate: Is there a way to edit a question without bumping it to the front page? On Super User today, there was a tiny disagreement in chat about mass editing spamming the front page and to deal with it, and there appears to be two Meta Questions (1 and 2). As lots of previ...

I actually agree with this one, but I know the team doesn't so resistance is futile
 
@IvoFlipse I can't see that either, and it was my question :/
ohh... confused!
 
12:54 PM
> Edits should be reasonably substantive -- trivial edits have all the negatives but almost none of the positives. For example, the 6 character guideline we use for suggested edits is a good starting point.
well perhaps they should stop bumping every tag edit especially when its done in batches
 
here's my idea
 
and if the edit is trivial, don't bump the darn thing
 
> I would absolutely support this idea. In the end, there are two types of edits. One that is purely cosmetic and one that adds information (which makes it interesting for the front page). If a member is trusted enough so that you know they only make cosmetic edits, why shouldn't they be able to act in a "no-bump mode".
 
@slhck the complaint in the mod room was: if you're subscribed to a tag, you wouldn't see the question bumped
well to that I say: too bad, don't harass every user to help just 1
 
@IvoFlipse Well that's a minor thing, I don't think that's the main reason against it
 
12:57 PM
Their arguments just aren't fair, they say edits should be substantial, but everyone with edit rights can make trivial edits. Should those be forbidden then?
 
@IvoFlipse For that one, I really thought that was a good idea... I mean, without being big headed - I am good at computers! That is it... I am rubbish at English! I make tons of grammar mistakes, and I don't mind if people edit my answers, change "should of" to "should have" or something... I try to learn (although I probably would forget!). but, I don't see why it should push an answer/question to the top
 
Exactly what I said. Give those people who earn it the right to make cosmetic edits all day long.
 
If people got a dollar for every time I mix of its and it's :P
 
@IvoFlipse As for this one... I don't know why I can't see it now, thought it was just closed, not deleted :/ ... But anyway... I completely see your point, but, I didn't for one second assume/think I would gain from it... I just hate the fact that there are so many "unanswered" questions just because the asker has long gone from the community (or is lazy).
 
oh well, gotta go, see you later!

Q: Drop the "based on actual problems that you face" from the FAQ

William HilsumWe are having an "interesting" chat in the Super User Root Access chat room, (Start from about here) I Personally think that Why are the 8 bits per byte is a very good question and represents the sort of content I want to see on Super User. This same FAQ rule is on Stack Overflow and I am guess...

@slhck later
 
@slhck Bye!
 
I also get what you're saying here, though I do think it should be phrased as a real question
 
I said I am not that good with English! Maybe I need to rephrase! I sit in front of the computer trying to get a point out, then I realise I have missed the point or gone far too long, I then try to edit/shrink, and it doesn't always read well!... I mean no insult to Jeff, but, I feel it is a little silly having a rule, stopping things that are against it, then saying the rules are up for debate on a case by case basis...
they are either rules or they are not, you can't refer people to them, if they change all the time... I get what he is saying, I just don't like it! but... still, silly little things - nothing will stop me from coming here, I just think it would be better with the changes!
 
@WilliamHilsum Yeah I think that's a clear example of your writing skills working against you
I have a similar problem with phrasing things well... not very diplomatic :P
@WilliamHilsum communication isn't SE inc's greatest strength :P
btw @WilliamHilsum you should play: plus.google.com/games/907809777960
 
In addition, something cool - I was looking back at some of my answers, and I fele a bit psychic! ... meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/39545/… There were others, can't quickly see them
@IvoFlipse hehe!
@IvoFlipse Launched...
Ahh,,, I haven't played that Ipad city thing in AGES...
 
1:06 PM
Me neither
 
hi
 
but now I'm sinking time in those Google+ games
 
I can't get in to another one! I spend far too much time! I still play restaurant story though! I like that!
 
writing a blog post for gaming about them, hehe :P
hi @lovesh
 
hey any one experience with recording facebook livestream
 
1:07 PM
@IvoFlipse You addict! :P
 
@WilliamHilsum its pretty bad yes
hurts my work at the moment :P
@lovesh nope, not sure if they want you to do that either
 
We should try to do another SO Gaming night...
 
i have flashgot firefox addon installed using which i can download videos from youtube and other sites but it does not work on fb livestream
 
@WilliamHilsum they still do those!
 
Ahh... I'm out of the loop!
 
1:09 PM
@IvoFlipse may be they dont want it but i want to download is there some way?
 
@lovesh Well if its in their TOS that you're not allowed, I'm not really inclined to help you violate them
 
ok can u help me with some other ques i have a few and they might look trivial to you
 
@lovesh You can always try asking them :)
 
Never even heard of Facebook Livestream!
... When is the next game night? :/
 
can u throw some light on youtube video downloading? i mean if i simply put the url of video in some download manager it wont download the video and i cant think of any other way of manually downloading them but tools like flahgot do it? can u say how?
 
1:13 PM

 SE Game On!

TF2 server is TF2.stackgaming.com Minecraft server is mine.sta...
@lovesh should it be an mp3 or video?

firefox

Q: Chrome add-on to download YouTube videos

The Legend of 1982Any add-on for Chrome browser to download YouTube videos?

darn, wrong browser
 
firefox
@WilliamHilsum here is an example livestre.am/VVk7
 
@IvoFlipse Doesn't look that active, I thought you meant they do something every week
I feel bad that I sort of (jointly) started it and I don't know what is going on now :/
 
I think they change the game every day tbh
but chat in the Bridge or on Steam
anyway, I'm going back to work!
 
1:19 PM
@lovesh Ahhh... Thought you meant it was a new service from Facebook or something!
 
@WilliamHilsum no. actually this is what i wanted to download. Any tips?
 
I like download helper for firefox, but, I have never really used or looked at livestream. Sorry :/
 
1:36 PM
baaaaaaah...anyone want to tackle formatting the lower section of this? (or just take it out):

Q: Windows 7 Bluescreen: IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL | athrxusb.sys

wretrOvianI'd left my system on last night, and found the bluescreen in the morning. This has been happening occasionally, over the past few days. Details: ================================================== Dump File : 022710-18236-01.dmp Crash Time : 2/27/2010 8:46:44 AM Bug Check String...

 
Done!
 
welp, fair enough.
 
Morning everyone
 
Morning
@SimonSheehan Don't suppose you fancy TFC? I need to get on with a lot of work, but, I fancy a game of something before then!
10-20 mins or something!
 
@William it's not installed, sorry! Perhaps later though. Im still in bed right now :p
 
1:42 PM
lol
it is easy to forget that not everyone is on the same timezone!
 
Be right back, gonna get up and find some food :p
 
lol
Guess that means I should stop procrastinating and just get on with work!
 
2:05 PM
I found a spot on my westie that makes him act crazy!!! (I am not tickling his penis, but, after uploading, I just realised it looks like that!!!)
 
@William I like the related video with the pringles can :p
 
@SimonSheehan hehe... My two hobbies are computers and my dogs... My Youtube is a little boring!
 
@William but it's quite funny to watch :p silly dogs
 
hehe! Thanks for saying that... I think I drive my friends bad with my dogs!
 
2:20 PM
Hi everyone
@WilliamHilsum I knew a cat once that if you scratched a particular point on her back she would, with quite a lot of determination, start cleaning herself and would stop when you did...
 
@Mokubai hehe... This spot is just weird, he just seems to loose all control - then starts licking you at the same time! He doesn't try to fight it or run away, so, I don't think it hurts at all...
I'm not really a cat person tbh! I like the way dogs need you more!
 
2:36 PM
lol
@WilliamHilsum: somewhere near the ribs?
 
Dogs don't use a litterbox, so I like them
 
yup, the kicky spot
 
I don't really know dog anatomy much! Yeah, I guess it is the ribs..
 
@SimonSheehan: mine did it at home once, got scolded, and got it into his head he will only poo on grass. and only if its not too rainy.. and it needs to be at a certain distance from a footpath... and...
@WilliamHilsum: mine does that too... but also when you scratch his back
 
@Journeyman haha.. I once did see a thing where they trained a dog to use a toilet and flush it
 
2:39 PM
@WilliamHilsum haha, it really does look like that
 
@Gareth thanks for testing that out, by the way. So 720p at 60FPS was best?
 
yeah
it was AWESOME
 
lucky you... I have tried training mine, and they are generally good... but... if it is raining outside or something, they will still go in the house... It drives me mad! We had expensive carpet and it is ruined / got rid of most of it :(
 
lol, mine hates the rain
 
I never had a litter problem with my border collie, but he did eat my sofa :(
 
2:41 PM
but he has.. very good control. he does tend to throw up on a corner of his bed
 
The dog in the video destroyed my Lord of the Rings Extended Collectors edition :( Turned it in to shreds :(
 
@Gareth: my westie mix chewed up trunking as a puppy, but that's cause he was bored
 
My dog peed on the carpet with a smile always, when we trained him..
@William Might be time to get a professional to solve that one :p ever seen the dog whisperer?
 
my wife was trying to train him tonight to bring shoes (you'd show him one shoe and he'd bring the other) -- but obvious fail. he just kept bringing any shoe he could find in the end because he knew he'd get food
 
2:43 PM
@SimonSheehan Maybe...
 
it was quite funny, about 15 minutes after we'd already stopped having any interest in it, he came and dropped a flip flop in front of us
 
@Gareth LOL, that is brilliant!
 
I like how his thinking process was basically "so if I bring this smelly shoe, I can haz more food?"
not "oh, you're missing a shoe? let me fetch the other one for you, master"
 
lol
@Gareth: its called fuzzy logic
 
2:45 PM
or furry logic :)
 
This guy is insane. He seem to be able to tame any crazy dog
 
is it worth watching that show at all? I know he's got a bit of a rep and all that, but never really seen it
I mean, are you watching him do all his crazy stuff to tame the dogs, or can you learn the process as well?
 
I'm just worried that doing something like that will change his attitude (which I love!)...
 
It's actually quite the process, generally revolving around positioning yourself as the one in charge
 
He hasn't been neutered either, and, the vets said that may stop him... but... as it isn't really reversible and no one seems sure, I am just hesitant.
 
2:49 PM
@WilliamHilsum I'm the same with my dog
 
@William oh you don't need quite that, he just needs to figure out that you can't pee inside :p I wouldn't neuter him, If that's going to Change him.
Dog whisperer = aggressive dogs.
 
he doesn't have training issues, but he likes to pee EVERYWHERE outside, he's very dominant, and extremely naughty
but I quite like the last part :)
 
Just thought it was an interesting show
 
I was worried that if I neutered him (which apparently can extend their life etc) then he'd lose some of his character
@SimonSheehan thanks, I'll watch a few
 
My dogs are not violent in the slightest - only to carpet! :P ... but yeah, looks like a good program - I have been meaning to watch it since he was on South Park!
 
2:52 PM
Haha. It's just really surprising how he manages to tame even the biggest and wildest dogs really fast, when the owners are clueless from trying
 
but
hmm, honestly not clicking so far. watched one about a border collie who jumped whenever his master went to get his leash (not a big problem IMO!). The instructions were basically to touch the dog with the foot mildly to assert authority - potentially uncool, but whatever, if that's what the owner wants to sign up to
then he went on about all this stuff like "having a conversation with the dog" and asking it to give you space etc
"I keep sending that energy"
what I mean is, I'm sure he has valid techniques, but it feels a bit... wrapped up? only an initial impression though...
 
There's a few ones I've seen where I was less than impressed. Remember, it's all tuned for television
 
3:11 PM
I never believe anything on TV at all!
 
I haven't watched TV in a while... The Internet is more interesting!
 
Hear, hear!
 
@SimonSheehan yep!
 
Plus you can find all the good shows On the Internet
 
 
2 hours later…
4:49 PM
Spam or not? - superuser.com/questions/319693/… I did mark, but, not 100% sure.... it isn't digging up an old question, but, he has the same site on his profile and it is the only answer he has done :/
 
5:30 PM
@WilliamHilsum I saw it too, marked it also. VALID!
 
Good then! I don't think it is bad to advertise if it solves the problem... but, just doesn't seem right to allow someone who hasn't otherwise contributed
 
Indeed, and it was written just a little bit too suspiciously.
 
5:55 PM
I can't remember who it was I was talking to the other day about it... but.. if you are interested, my brother has just resent the images... here is the hidden router!
@slhck @SimonSheehan @Sathya - you were the people around, I think... Well, there is the insides!
Got outside ones with me, but, you can't see a lot
 
@WilliamHilsum Haha, quite the place for it. Is that all around your computer? Is that inside a case?
 
It was to go with that question yesterday or the day before about wireless where you are not allowed!
I hid a router inside my brothers computer, so he could have wireless without anyone knowing!
 
Haha, pretty funny.
I used to keep mine on the floor, but kept kicking it
Now I keep cool blinking LEDs on my desk
 
nice!
 
6:04 PM
Right... errand time again :( Back in a couple of hours
is that a linksys/cisco one?
 
Yep.
Cisco.
Cya later @WilliamHilsum
 
Looks like Microsoft decided one of the files I sent them is definitely a virus, apparently it'll be detected in the not-yet-released virus definition update.
 
6:48 PM
@Pearsonartphoto: Nice to know their response is fast.
 
 
4 hours later…
10:51 PM
I have the "Tag Editor" badge, and I really don't remember what tag I edited... and... The tag page backs that up! Anyone know what has happened?
It looks like there are 3 others like this
 
I made a tag..but no badge :/ Perhaps I need to have not just the snippet part.
 
11:15 PM
Oh, nice that they added 'research effort' to that...
@WilliamHilsum Perhaps related to the recent removal?
 
11:46 PM
@TomWijsman It must have been one that was removed as you said, I just can't remember what I edited/did though :/
Also, I was reading the requirements for the best SU competition thing, and I saw I don't have all the badges (which is why I was checking up on them as I don't remember editing a wiki!)... I haven't checked you, but, if you don't have the others - try getting on to it as I want to nominate you... All your diagnosing and stuff, you are probably the one user I have learnt the most from
... Also like a load of the mods / see them active, but, can't vote for them!
 
morning
 
@JourneymanGeek Morning!
 
@JourneymanGeek Good morning.
 
and goodnight! going to sleep :( falling asleep at my keyboard...
 
eheh. waffleface is a peril
