@badp Hopefully that big list helps somewhat.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Well, you've already done a large chunk of work yourself it seems
Inbox comments from deleted answers are a mods-only feature... closing questions isn't
 
It makes me think of a the opening to a zombie movie with footage of the event being played on the news.
 
@RonanForman Wh...what?
 
@badp Yeah, but I really didn't want to start 175 close votes
 
@RonanForman That sounds like WotW.
 
11:01 PM
This is why I suggested splitting the workload in two halves, but I kind of realize getting 7+ people to gangband on ITG questions doesn't sound like an easily doable plan (especially when likely 6 of them want to close ALL the ITGs anyway)
 
@ArdaXi What does?
 
@GnomeSlice "the opening to a ... movie with footage of the event being played on the news."
 
@Arda Listen to the music and see if it goes together.
 
@ArdaXi How does that sound like War of the Worlds? What does War of the Worlds sound like?
 
@GnomeSlice War of the Worlds started as a fake radio news broadcast.
 
11:03 PM
Yes, I know.
So it wasn't music at all.
 
@badp Hence my clever and fiendish plot to isolate the ITG's that even the 7th one can't argue about closing!
 
It was just a random comment, I have no idea what you guys are talking about.
 
Hang on a sec, the last version of the track I'm doing any work on tonight is uploading.
 
So... well... let's not delay things any further @LessPopMoreFizz. I assume you didn't already do that splitting yourself so... um... we're going to need the full list anyway
 
@badp Hm?
 
11:05 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz The 175 questions?
 
@badp The list is linked right in my post.
 
@RonanForman I guess I need the footage to work from then.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz By unanswered you mean "doesn't have the right answer", not "doesn't have any answer" right?
 
@badp Correct. The questions in that list have neither an accepted answer, nor an answer by the OP that is not accepted, nor an unaccepted answer followed by a comment from the asker indicating that it is correct.
 
@ArdaXi This
 
11:09 PM
It's possible that I've made a few mistakes, I did just read ~250 ITG questions after all, and I erred on the side of inclusion in cases where there is an a comment to the effect of "This feels familiar, but I'm not sure" or "I'll check out that game you mentioned" but which is not definitive, but those cases account for, if I were to guesstimate, roughly 5-10% of the items on the list.
 
@RonanForman You might as well listen to it too. I just added a synth line in it, but I'm not entirely happy with it.
 
It sounds great,
 
XBOX360, Y U NEED UPDATE GURRRRR
 
@badp The "Doesn't have Any Answer" list is included in those 175, but it's a subset.
 
@RonanForman Really? I'm undecided. It sounds off-key some times.
Anyway, I guess I'm going to hold off doing any more music until I have some footage, I guess.
 
11:14 PM
(They account for ~25% of the total items on the list, and those show up instantly on the Unanswered tab. The Problem With ITG is that the Unanswered tab lies.)
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah, my first step is abusing Google Spreadsheets to find out which are which
 
Do we not get non-itg questions that get ignored by the OP once answered, i.e. no accepted answers?
 
That's not a bad thing, it makes it sound eerie. And exactly the theme you set out to make.
 
@RonanForman I don't like the first note, I'm probably going to be changing that. Anyway... we'll see how it goes, I may end up not using this in the video depending on the footage I get. I guess we just have different ideas of how we want the establishing shots to go. =]
 
Yeah.
 
11:19 PM
My xbox is on attempt 2 of 3 to download the update. I don't think it's going to make it.
 
okay, the list of ITGs with 0 answers is kinda short
but oh well!
 
I wish we knew someone who had a cape, the pirate king would look great with a cape.
All purple and shoulder pad-y
 
@GnomeSlice Yep. roughly 3000 of them to be precise. Of those, roughly 750 are considered 'unanswered' (that is to say, none of the answers have upvotes). The key difference is that upvotes on those answers mean something. Upvotes on ITG answers are largely irrelevant to the accuracy of those answers.
Hmmm... Hey, @badp is your search-fu better than mine? Is there a way to refine this search to only include answers to questoins that have an accepted answer?
 
(i.e. I only want to see answers with a score > 1 that are not accepted on questions that have an accepted answer.)
 
11:24 PM
questions that have an accepted answer (or not)
hasaccepted:1 apples oranges
hasaccepted:0 apples oranges
 
@badp Yeah, I know.
@badp Combining that with isaccepted:0 returns no results.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz hm, okay, that might be too complex for the search
you can't really mix question attributes and answer attributes like that
 
@badp Yeah, I figured. :( Oh well. I'm too sick of trawling through ITG's to manually parse out the 476 results there just to refute @GnomeSlice. Suffice it to say, that there are a lot of upvoted wrong answers to ITG questions.
(and even, often, very highly voted, and in some cases, bounty awarded wrong answers).
 
You could try [identify-this-game] isaccepted:0 votes:5
or something to that effect
Yeah, I know.

Q: Adding capes to avatars

Ronan FormanIs it possible to give a player a cape? Either so I can either only I can see the cape, or everyone on the server can see it. Either through mods or texture pack editing. It is important that only one person has the cape, rather than everyone having a cape.

Q: How to improve enderman spawn in MineCraft?

JohnI'm playing vanilla minecraft, and am getting ready to head to the end. I need enderman pearls however, and in my main hunting grounds (large desert area) one enderman / minecraft night may spawn. Is there anyway to "promote" enderman spawning?

 
I just uninstalled Skyrim. I suppose that means I'm officially done with it until all the DLC comes out.
 
!!!
 
@Pyrodante I tend to play Bethesda kelptomania-sims twice. Once at release, and a second time after all DLC is out, with a bunch of mods installed.
(Note that 'twice' might include multiple concurrent or sequential playthroughs. But the point is that I reinstall the game a year or two later to be played again.)

Obviously, 10.8 is just calling for Stack Exchange notification centre integration.
 
@ThomasMcDonald Yessss.
 
user30
11:39 PM
but I don't want to install it because it's a developer preview, which means I can't get onto the later builds and back onto retail channel.
 
Should be fairly easy to make a Mac App Store app that adds it using the API.
 
user30
Yeah.
 
@ThomasMcDonald Yeah, I skip the dev previews generally. Though yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay iMessage beta.
 
user30
I've installed it.
 
user30
I realised I have no friends on any of the supported protocols
 
user30
11:40 PM
I went back to Facebook chat.
 
@ThomasMcDonald I use AIM. This is proof that I am Old.
 
Guys can I get feedback on the canned comments? I'm no @Grace unfortunately
 
(I also use iMessage quite a bit since I have an iPhone and have several friends that have iPhones.)
@badp I was planning to use some variant of this:
> Hi, It's been a week since you asked this question, and it appears that nobody has properly identified it yet. Could you edit your question to provide some more information? If you're unable to do so, I'm afraid I'll have to vote to close your question as Not A Real Question for being insufficiently clear.
Replace 'a week' with $age and go from there.
 
user30
now, I hate Eclipse at the best of times
 
user30
but when I actually want to use it it doesn't respond.
 
11:44 PM
Eclipse is the best Java IDE IMO... but still pretty crappy at times
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Heading and Bulleted List, I choose you!
 
@Sterno @RavenDreamer @Tristan okay, so it seems that the faction quests do eventually end up in the same region in KoA.
 
user30
Also why do people continue to put stuff in my menu bar
 
user30
I only have 1280 pixels to use, I almost certainly don't want functionality going in there.
 
@ThomasMcDonald but I'm sure you'll want to convert your PDFs into DOC files for just a small price!
 
11:46 PM
@OrigamiRobot Why are you still here?!?!? GO GET MY SUB!!!!
 
You've been waiting for this feature, you just didn't know!!
 
@spugsley I told you it would be a while!
 
user30
@badp ...
 
user30
reference not gotten.
 
@OrigamiRobot how long is awhile?!?!
 
11:47 PM
@ThomasMcDonald Adobe Reader X
 
@ThomasMcDonald because they're so used to cramming everything into the system tray on Windows and don't understand how offensive it is to do what seems like the equivalent on OS X.
 
@OrigamiRobot it's almost 7 O_o
 
littering its interface with terrible for-pay services like "Make PDF" or "Sign PDF" or "Convert PDF to DOC" (!)
 
It would seem that downloading something from Steam and logging into TOR at the same time is more than my poor 802.11n network can handle.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I loled
 
11:54 PM
@RonanForman Are you drunk?

There was a lot of grammar to clear up in your last two posts.
 
@fredley My grammar's not great at the best of times, and virtual keyboards don't help.
 
@RonanForman Fair enough!
