jrg
@FlackBot Help

@jrg You drownin' or something?
 
@Braiam thanks

11:01 PM

Ok dear.
 
jrg
@FlackBot BE MY FRIEND.

@FlackBot BE MY FRIEND.
 
^---- weirdo
 
jrg
@FlackBot BE MY FRIEND!
he's a weird bot.
 
@FlackBot true that bro.
 
jrg
is nathan controlling him directly?
 
Did I pass the turing test?
 
jrg
11:03 PM
@FlackBot At last you recognize my superior intellect.
 
@Oli And what of ubuntuforums.org then? Do they fall into such a license?
 
Hey.. FlackBot?
 
Hey.. Seth?
 
O_o
 
>:)
 
jrg
11:04 PM
:P
 
@Braiam Aren't they going to try and fix it?
 
close this as offtopic askubuntu.com/q/325391/169736 is Google side the problem, not Ubuntu
 
@RolandiXor Okay..
 
@FlackBot YOU ARE A HERETIC!
 
11:06 PM
FlackBot! The amulet!
 
@ThomasW. is this a bug? askubuntu.com/q/102598/169736
segfault and everything
 
@Braiam segfaults usually indicate bugs
 
Read the answer.
 
@Jeremy migrated!
 
Seems like it might work.
 
11:07 PM
or in the case of the compiler, possibly user error
 
I thought bots weren't allowed...? @Seth
 
@Seth that answer isn't actually an answer on its own, it's worded as a comment instead.
 
@Jeremy They aren't banned per se.
 
@Alvar Great, just what we need. Another bad question.
 
@ThomasW. Sorta.. but if it works.
 
11:08 PM
@Seth Marco told you no general room bots I recall. hmm
 
@Braiam [instant-messaging] we need it?
 
@Jeremy He asked me not too.. That isn't my bot though.
@Alvar I don't see why..
 
(I know it's not your bot)
 
@Seth smae here...
@Jeremy it's nathan's bot actually..
 
@Alvar I know.
 
11:09 PM
@Jeremy Okay. I'm not so sure FlackBot isn't an exception to that "rule" though.
and I'm not sure Flacky wasn't being controlled by Nathan anyway :P
 
flackbot is "semi" banned, we only see it on late nights.
 
@Seth the question's old so meh
 
If there's one site that shouldn't have private messaging, I think it's Stack Exchange. SE is about community
 
@Seth I usually don't deal with questions > 1.5 years old.
 
anyone sees real value in this question? askubuntu.com/q/35764/169736
 
11:10 PM
One of these days, I actually do plan to really make FlackBot awesome.
 
@Jeremy it doesn't have privmsging...
except moderator pokes
 
He used to be able to answer some basic questions on his own.
 
@ThomasW. Nope
 
@RolandiXor roland, really just a chat tag? askubuntu.com/q/15572/10698
 
@Braiam I don't see any value in deleting it.
 
11:11 PM
@Jeremy that wasn't a question
that was a statement.
that it doesn't have PMs nor does it need it.
 
@ThomasW. That's what I was saying?
 
anyone? help? .. — RolandiXor Dec 28 '10 at 22:37
:O
 
the only private messaging system I'm aware of is, like, moderator pokes.
 
I think Roland needs to clean that question up some :P
 
@Seth I don't see real value in keeping it...
 
11:12 PM
Dates :D
 
@RolandiXor Burn the question with fire. Wipe it from the face of the earth.
 
@RolandiXor first question? ;)
 
@RolandiXor Yes I know, but with that diamond next to it..
@Braiam shrug
 
@RolandiXor I'm gonna print screen that ;)
 
bug askubuntu.com/q/309327/169736 with composite
or not reproducible... perhaps
 
11:14 PM
we have a camera tag, really?
 
@RolandiXor No chat tag! #nocapes
@Alvar This is why I get depressed looking at tags.
 
this is like a very bad dream.. WHY?!
why can't we nuke tags?
would be so much faster...
 
lol
I was a noob once
 
2
A: Moderators should be able to remove / burninate a tag themselves

Tim PostI like the idea of changing things so that moderators can be more autonomous when it comes to tag cleanups. In the same breath, communities need to be more autonomous when it comes to managing synonyms. Our tag management tools haven't seen much love in quite a while, and we need to fix that. Th...

@RolandiXor We all were.
 
@Seth up voted it a long time ago...
@RolandiXor I don't believe ya!
 
11:16 PM
@Alvar because it's a trap! And your intuition is warning you!
 
aaaaaah!
 
my first question ever in SE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1one
 
@Alvar oh ok
 
(please, don't check the history D:)
 
@Braiam MOHAHAHA ...
 
11:18 PM
I used to play a mmorpg by the name lucky noob, put all my stat points to the luck stat...
 
@Braiam why are you using etree. bs4 (beautifulsoup) is the skeksi
 
@hbdgaf was my first attempt at hacking python plugins in xchat ;)
 
haha
 
Yes, that was me.
 
11:20 PM
(also was using another answer as template)_
 
@RolandiXor what? really?
 
yo2boy?
 
jrg
The rules regarding bots are they must be attended.
 
then we shall call you yo2boy from here on.
 
@Alvar LOL that was not me!
 
11:21 PM
so how is it being a moderator you2boy?
 
@jrg Marco hates bots... So as long as they are attended and Marco isn't around ;P
 
@ThomasW. might want to cast a delete vote here askubuntu.com/q/9890/169736
 
@RolandiXor yes it was, you are just embarrassed now!
 
@Seth not the question
 
@RolandiXor oh ok
 
11:22 PM
@jrg It must be supervised targeting.. just not what the NSA considers supervised targeting with target auto-selection by virtue of kevin bacon game ;) right?
 
I was the answerer who wrote "............"
 
oh... /me no haz 10kz.
 
jrg
@hbdgaf LOL
 
I need more rep :(
 
(must put @Seth on repsteroids)
 
jrg
11:23 PM
Hm, I might walk to work tomorrow.
 
This is my first question:
2
Q: Why can't I load this website except on Windows?

RolandiXorhttp://www.battleswarmzone-.spruz.com/ fails to load on my system under ubuntu, but loads under windows. I can't ping this subdomain either, but spruz.com loads fine O.o Worse still, even proxies don't work, and worse even further: I can't load it with the firewall off either. Any clues?

 
jrg
it's supposed to get to 10!
 
Sooo glad I'm not in Chicago this year. It would have been BRUTAL
 
@RolandiXor it must be since @stefanoPalazzo answered it! haven't seen him in ages!
 
@jrg What is supposed to get 10? 10 of what?
oh wait, degrees?
 
11:24 PM
@Alvar those were the glory days!
You weren't even born yet!
 
@RolandiXor Ha!
 
I remember flying my spitfire over the fields of London, Jrg in tow,
 
@hbdgaf yeah it is bad, we had two trucks canceled
 
if you haven't born in Canada, you haven't born in real life
 
2011-02-14 is my year date -.-
 
11:24 PM
and we were fighting off the gold watch spam left and right...
 
My first had 7 up votes but I cv'd it (and requested cv'd) a few weeks ago
 
It's supposed to get UP to ten. The most funny explanation of this situation I heard was "Go home jetstream ... you're drunk"
 
@RolandiXor jrg wasn't born either!
 
It was tough making a living back then...
 
@RolandiXor wait... you were the gold watch spam :P
 
11:25 PM
Oh yeah... I'm getting old :D
 
@Jeremy is not closed yet? why not?
 
@Seth LOL
in name only :D
 
damn @jrg joined AU 12 days before me...
 
and gravatar
 
@Braiam It is?
7
Q: PHP Syllable Detection

JeremyI would like to find a way to be able to split a word into syllables with PHP. For example, the word "nevermore" ran through detect_syllables(), would return "nev-er-more." Are there any good APIs or something out there?

 
11:26 PM
................................................................................‌​.....................................................
 
@Braiam That's extremely astute of you
 
I'm always thinking 3 years ahead of myself :P
I mean, I'm thinking about the children...
 
What are these dashed lines about, though?
 
@Alvar You're flooding the front page man..
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FIND A QUESTION TO ANSWER?
;P
 
@Seth you're not!
 
11:29 PM
lol
 
my new tactic to keep all good questions for myself! it's working perfectly! :D
 
O_O
 
;)
 
@Seth using tags :P
 
@Braiam I (almost) never do that.
 
11:30 PM
@Seth if we fix the cake, you will do it again...
 
It's actually a great way to find questions and avoid the "fastest gun in the west" effect
 
fixed
 
11:32 PM
@Seth u too fast! hax!
 
Hey, don't hate; it was late! (well, early, but that didn't rhyme)
 
OT: 60 more minutes until the corned beef and cabbage with carrots, parsnips, and baby red potatoes + vegetable stew is done. i can't wait.
 
@Alvar I have a middle mouse button on my touchpad, and keyboard shortcuts :D
 
@Seth cheating ;)
my mouse keeps disconnecting which is driving me crazy, the new mouse comes tomorrow!
 
I was almost checking what tag should I use...
 
@Braiam off topic.
 
btw, anyone has a good tag for this? askubuntu.com/q/305524/169736
 
META
 
11:38 PM
@Alvar we don't migrate crap to meta...
 
@Braiam we do!
@Braiam we migrate it and then remove it!
@Braiam haven't you learned from earlier?
 
we remove it from here, it does nothing on meta
 
@Braiam true. but the question from earlier was ;)
user is mad -.-
 
Awwz. I had a comment ready too:

Questions about the site go on Meta, not main. If being a moderatbor were for you today, you would already understand this. Maybe use the site more and learn how it works.

It's an election. Like this: http://meta.askubuntu.com/questions/2408/2012-community-moderator-election
 
@Braiam did he just copy something from chat?
 
11:41 PM
and that concludes the chat retag party!
 
@Braiam yaay
@Braiam now it's just browser, video, web ... left :)
 
I think he warrants the spam flag..
 
@minerz029 that user was nuked fast...
 
11:52 PM
but he keeps on coming back
 
@minerz029 is that the sri lanka I need to chat and I want to be a moderator user?
it's the same on?
 
yeah, it was...
 
@Alvar yes
 
@RolandiXor wow... good to know...
he was kinda mad..
good thing my account got a good password...
 
My account would be pretty hard to hack :)
And I will leave it at that :)
 
11:54 PM
mine too.. :)
 
mine is impossible... I don't even know the password D:
 
same here.
dont know my username either..
 
lol
 
I don't have one :)
