I'm sure there are all kinds of screwed up problems

@BenBrocka Listen. I like DST because it means I get to work more overtime, so STFU.

Ben Brocka

f*cking with time the world over twice a year is just absurd

I'm salaried and immune to your overtime and punch cards

LessPop_MoreFizz

@BenBrocka Well some of us like getting paid OT. And some of us can't work after sundown. So GO GO DST.

@Wipqozn I saw "buttocks" "fist" and "shark" and was going to FLAG FLAG FLAG this

LessPop_MoreFizz

@agent86 Should still FLAG FLAG FLAG it IMO.

Q: How to install xbox 360 "whserver"?

It has been almost a year since I last played on my Xbox, and I want to start viewing some WMV files on it through Windows Home Server. When I tried to play a WMV file it says I need a media update. According to a few websites, I need to get an Xbox live silver or gold account and download the op...

Ponies are offensive.

Ponies more like Pornies.

oh man, HDMI cables at monoprice went up $.80 since I ordered them 9 months ago. what a rip.

I got a $.19 discount each for ordering 2 though, so I guess there's that

Ben Brocka

meh, monoprice. I guess they're okay if you don't get free shipping from amazon...

Q: How do you move your house you build in Creation mode in The Sims 3:Pets to a different lot?

I looked through the tutorials and it mentions you can do it after you save your house to your studio which I have done but when I click the new lot it only comes up with other houses that aren't the one I created. Any help would be appreciated!

do I need another USB hub?

I can't decide.

my wife has no clue

LessPop_MoreFizz

23:32

@agent86 How many USB ports do you currently have?

And of those, how many are in use?

23:43

God damn, the ME Bag is out of stock in Canada.

I WANT IT SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH. Not like Ponies.

Tristan

@Fredy31 How can you see that? >.>

agent86

@LessPop_MoreFizz I have some, and some of those are in use.

Tristan

@Fredy31 Does that mean it's also unavailable in the US?

Fredy31

23:46

And its not on Amazon Canada

IDK

murgatroid99

I found the answer to this in about four seconds of googling

agent86

@murgatroid99 the question's kind of vague, in that he says he downloaded that already, but then he says he wants to know how to do it, which he already did

Fredy31

@Tristan Out of order on Amazon.com, no word about an out of stockage on the official site

And no word anywhere about a restock soon

murgatroid99

@agent86 he says he downloaded a general system update, not the optional update

Tristan

@Fredy31 I wonder if I can opt for a cheaper messenger bag from elsewhere then...

Fredy31

23:49

Well, nothing is cheaper than free

Sterno

Fredy31

Because I won it in the ME3 Missions

Sterno

Thus far I am unimpressed with BrowserQuest!

murgatroid99

@agent86 the thing is that the answer is the first google hit for "optional media update"

Tristan

@Fredy31 So did I. But if I don't get one, I'm going to see if they'll just get a different messenger bag to send.

agent86

23:50

> I need to get an Xbox live silver or gold account and download the optional media update. I did just that and did a general system update.

"that" in the second sentence is ambiguous, but it seemed like it should mean "I downloaded the optional media update"

murgatroid99

@agent86 I read that as "I just got an account and downloaded the general system update". If I read it wrong, he will say that my answer did not work

agent86

We also don't have a "general reference" close reason, and there's precedent for allowing easily googlable answers on the site

the optional media update also seems to be for AAC, which doesn't really seem like it would help in this case, but I digress

murgatroid99

@agent86 there's a magnitude difference between "easily googlable" and "first search result for only useful search term"

Oh god

Q: What is Steam? DRM?

What exactly is Steam? Isn't it DRM? What can I do with it?

steam

James

23:54

Low rep users with Github and pokemon gravatars cited!

Tristan

@James ?

murgatroid99

@James I don't see the problem

A: What's the policy regarding "easy" questions?

Ideally, people are asking these because they could not find the information. Even if the information is extremely easily available, sometimes the mind skips or they just didn't think about it hard enough. As long as it's still a valid question, we have a duty to answer that. The important thing ...

James

@murgatroid99 Hmm... well yeah.. But still!

murgatroid99

@agent86 Oh well. I probably won't lose rep over it

James

23:56

Wow

That github gravatar guy has 44k on SO :)

murgatroid99

@James what user are you talking about?

agent86

@murgatroid99 yeah, I mean, I'm not trying to jump on you, but current policy/enforcement means the question's OK and on topic.

spugsley

okay...so I did an LP for Binding of Isaac thanks to @IanPugsley

agent86

I've been digging through so much meta policy today, gah. trying to organize it all a bit more clearly.

Tristan

23:59

@spugsley What'd you use to record it?

James

@spugsley Got the Fraps not recording the game thing worked out?

spugsley

@Tristan camstudio

Tristan

@Fredy31 It's out of stock in the US, too.

@spugsley How's the quality?

spugsley

@Tristan excellent, actually :)
