@Fluttershy Welcome to the dick moves that movie companies make.
Sometimes, they're worse than 12 year olds.
Awww, man. Vectors? Ewww...
The axis of rotation used by the rotate3d transformation function is a vector, which you have to define yourself
@Fluttershy It's probably more accurate to say they're no longer moving the release date up. If it got Oscar nominations it probably would have sold a lot more copies, or at least would have sold more when the Oscars are happening. If it wasn't nominated then it won't gain any benefit from it, so there isn't as large of a need to get it out around the same need.
I imagine sales would actually suffer during the Oscars. I'd imagine during the Oscars movies which are nominated (especially those that win) get increased sales, and those that don't see a drop.
I'm not even going to pretend I understand what that matrix is suppose to mean
00:08
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's a biproduct of the Cartesian inverted coefficent vector.
And now you have to explain what that is suppose to mean

@Wipqozn Circular logic yay!
@YiJiang'sEvilClone No no no no, that's not what you were supposed to say. Here, let me cover your side of the conversation.

Remember that time @OrigamiRob only talked via quotes? That was awesome.
@Wipqozn ಠ_ಠ
I just got an idea. Performance might be enhanced if I use CSS 2D transformation instead of plain old margin and padding for that bouncing animation demo

@RonanForman Oh are we playing the quote game? I love this game!
00:14
@OrigamiRobot Is this a new script, @OrigamiRob?
@Ullallulloo ಠ_ಠ
@Ullallulloo I think it was the second script he implemented.
sudo @OrigamiRobot make more chat commands
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh
sudo @OrigamiRobot stop being lazy, make more commands
I have 4 or 5 now
00:17
I know of four of them.
Including ERROR: NOT MY REAL DAD!
I added one yesterday at @MBraedley's request.
sudo @OrigamiRobot make me a sandwich
CALLED IT!
Close enough

I just noticed that I'm a different colour in the swoosh picture than I am in the shades picture.
@Wipqozn No, the lighting is just different.

Q: Can't start the "go to war with another empire" mission

JezWhen you first get into the space stage in Spore, your homeworld has some missions for you to carry out. One of them, "It's time to go to war with another empire", often seems to be impossible to start. When you click it, you will be told that "it looks like it is not possible". This is despit...

A: What makes a perfect block perfect?

user42020These quality levels are based on timing, and they are very unforgiving. Your action must occur very close to the moment the enemy would hit you. Note that timing applies to parry and dodge as well as block. There are actually three levels: normal, great, and perfect. Unlike a normal block, a pe...

Copy and paste of existing answer? Wut
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I see nuttin'
What could cause a user to be suspended across the entire network, hmmm?
I dunno, what do you think?
Well, things like posting low quality / rude comments would usually get you suspended on one site, right?
00:41
I mean, I seriously dunno.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Oddly enough, this isn't the first time this has happened.
although I do have a pretty good idea
Spam usually gets you suspended network wide, but this user I'm looking at doesn't look like a spammer
Woo! Got phone!
@fbueckert Fuckin' finally!
00:41
Does vote fraud get you suspended everywhere?
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Look closer
@badp Indeed!
I'd imagine being disrupting multiple sites in the network could eventually lead to a network wide ban.
Now to perform surgery on my phone and extract the SIM card.
It's not a short ban either. I don't know, if it's across multiple sites I should've heard the name before...
00:50
@fbueckert inb4 you break it.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Okay, I'm curious, who are we talking about?
No wait, I do think I might have heard the name before. My memory is failing me here
Network wide suspension for what looks like 1 year
SHOOTERS. Why do you have such bad ambient occlusion
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Impressive.
BF3's AO is uglier and less realistic than Borderlands 2. Than a game which is deliberately cartoonish and stylized
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Could have to do with his "About me" section starting with "I am 12"
00:54
No, policy for underaged user is to delete on sight now. Besides, he's 14 according to the age thingy (though that's hardly reliable, since you cannot actually set your age to below 13 now)
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Well.. He clearly is/was underage at the time. Maybe he got overlooked when the delete-on-sight policy was enacted?
Yeah, underaged users get sent to SE team and deleted. Can't keep their info at all. Not sure about this case though, never heard of the guy
For future reference: The easiest way to ragequit on SE is to email the team telling them that you're 12 years old
So the new close dialog box is draggable
When you drag it, the entire page gets cursor: move applied to it.
I can't drag it
Ohh you grip the title
@YiJiang'sEvilClone What do you mean? It's standard for the drag cursor to stay as long as you're dragging whatever
@BenBrocka When you start dragging the box, the body element gets cursor: move applied to it
Probably a hack to keep the cursor active. Not sure that's necessary though
I've never implemented any drag functionality
Nah, it's just for the visual effect. I assume it's because in some cases the element can't keep up with the dragging and would lose the move cursor, so they decided it would be best to just apply the style to everything
cursor: move is just styling. It doesn't affect behavior at all
sudo @OrigamiRobot make me a sandwich
01:34
Got it! Finally!
@fbueckert Sandwich delivered.
@OrigamiRobot Not a sandwich. Extracting my SIM card
I ordered the sandwich
I don't know what kind of sandwich that is.
@FBUECKERT STOLE @MBRAEDLEY'S SANDWICH
@OrigamiRobot SIM stands for Sausage Italian Muffins...?
01:41
Eh. As a sandwich, it wasn't all that good.
Well since @fbueckert somehow got my sandwich, I guess I'll just have to go for a slice of pizza
8 mins ago, by fbueckert
Eh. As a sandwich, it wasn't all that good.
@LessPop_MoreFizz OH MIDNIGHT BELL....DO TOOOOOLLLL FOR MEEEE.....
01:56
More CSS3 animation stuff yay! jsfiddle.net/25spx/2
@YiJiang'sEvilClone That's what I meant, to keep the drag cursor visually there
What is the meta thread for reported SE scraping sites?
Never mind, finally found it.

Q: Report sites that use SE content without following attribution rules here

Popular DemandThere are a number of license-violating clones of Stack Exchange sites popping up that use SE's cc-wiki data without following our Creative Commons attribution terms. Those terms are linked at the bottom of every SE webpage, and are also included as a .txt file in every data dump we produce. The...

@YiJiang'sEvilClone Thanks, turns out that the one I stumbled upon is just a slightly redesigned version of a previously reported site.
@OrigamiRobot it's taking too long!
@OrigamiRobot @GraceNote @agent86
@MBraedley You're too late.
@OrigamiRobot connection problem
You were doing so well. Then apparently one other person wanted online. Now YouTube isn't worth watching. #firstworldproblems #hotelwifi
02:30
@MBraedley I know that feel.
NINTENDOOOOOO
4-8 aphanumeric password only? For my credit card info?!
@BenBrocka o.0
That's like at my work...
Thankfully you don't have to save CC info, I opted not to after I saw the password requirements
All these super secure systems, requiring hardware keys and authenticators, and we're only allowed up to 8 characters
And I see nintendo still says "blocks" because kids are too dumb to understand "bytes", even though both make exactly as much sense as an arbitrary unit
And after all that I accidentally picked "download later". I just wanted Kirby's Adventure damn it. I already bought it on VC before too!
03:14
pong
Well that was weird.
03:28
What are the chances that I'll be able to watch YouTube tonight?
@StrixVaria That is amazing...
@Fluttershy Have you ever played Meteos?
@RavenDreamer Negative.
Blast! That makes me announcement of "I am SOOOO CLOSE to having a working meteos clone" less sensible.
03:46
@Fluttershy Boo
Yep, YouTube seems like a bust. I'll try again in the morning.
Dear Best Western: free wifi is great, but an Ethernet jack is better. Then I can set up my own wifi network that's more robust.
@TimStone Discourse, eh? Sounds intruigin.g
04:01
Seriously, is someone downloading torrents or something? I'm tempted to just activate the wifi hotspot on my phone.
Instead, I think I'll just call it quits for the night, wake up bright dark and early, and watch YouTube then.
Later all.

Q: Why do I keep immediately failing the shooting contest?

Steve V.Why do I keep getting an "Objective Failed" message with Lily during the shooting contest, sometimes even without having fired a single shot?

@Raven hey.
04:37
So. New phone. No stable Cyanogen build, so I guess I stick with stock Android. Apps?
Depends on what you're going to do with it
Pulse News, Pockets for reading is a good idea. Well, on the tablet at least it is.
Chrome for browsing. Steam has an app too. Install Google Authenticator if you want to use your phone for two factor auth
If you've bought any Humble Android bundles grab the Humble Bundle app and let it download the games for you
Dropbox has an app too, and so does Wikipedia. I use Aldiko and EBookDroid for reading ebooks and pdf files respectively
Books are physical things.
user15026
@fbueckert I use Whatsapp for free messaging (requires the other person to have it and for you to have their phone number...basically free texting)
It's Android, so it comes with Chrome.
Hacker's Keyboard give you full desktop qwerty keyboard, though it might be a little small on a phone
04:42
Gotta bug Fido for a data plan now, though.
WhatsApp is not free. Well, it is for 1 year, then $1 per year thereafter IIRC
user15026
@fbueckert Also, keyboardwise, I love Swiftkey. And Where's my Droid for if you lose your phone.
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Really?
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Oh, right, I am used t o how it worked on my iPhone. It's worth the money though.
04:44
Hmmm, what else. Gameboid is an excellent emulator
user15026
Trello has an app, if you use that.
So, I just beat The Walking Dead. It is officially my GOTY 2012.
MX Player is a very good video player
user15026
@Fluttershy Awesome. I don't know much about it.
@AshleyNunn What's Trello?
04:45
The Merriam Webster apps gives you a offline dictionary
user15026
@fbueckert www.trello.com - it's a organizational planning tool thingie
user15026
...y u no link
You have to remember the protocol
user15026

user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone ?
04:46
@AshleyNunn The http:// part of the URL
user15026
@YiJiang'sEvilClone oooooh
Personally, I like the Minimalist Text widget
Takes a bit of fiddling to get working though
Oh, and the Galactic Core Live Wallpaper is beautiful and free
Everything I've listed so far has been free, by the way.
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Maybe she meant gopher://.
gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/1/world
aw, that doesn't automatically link
It only recognises HTTP and HTTPS links
or link at all
user15026

Most of what I have recommended is free
Not sure if FTP works

Steam acting up for anyone else?
It won't let me go to the store page.
@Fluttershy Working here.
user15026
@Fluttershy Working here, just a little slow
Fixed it! Just had to close the Steam window.
user15026
@Fluttershy Yay for fixing :)
@YiJiang'sEvilClone yep, and confirmed by Meghan McCarthy
Well I guess that cat's out of the bag.
@murgatroid99 I dunno why they would only have 13 episodes this season though... seems weird.
If you want to do the math - assuming each episode takes 1 year to make, and songwriting happens at the very beginning of the production cycle, then assuming he just finished the last episode and that 26 episodes will take 30 weeks to air, S4 should begin sometime in July: wolframalpha.com/input/?i=today+%2B+1+year+-+30+weeks
Maybe because it was the first season post-Faust?
Probably not a good estimation though
It assumes that 1 year includes the time between completion to air date, which is probably wrong
05:14
@Fluttershy They wanted to make it long enough for syndication, which is 65, and then when it made a lot of money they made more
@Fluttershy Faust only worked on season 1 and the season 2 premiere
@YiJiang'sEvilClone I don't think it works like that
@murgatroid99 Yeah, probably not. A better estimate can probably be made by taking the average of the time between previous seasons
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Better is average starting time among previous seasons. They start at certain times of the year for a reason
Well, except S3 is a half season
@YiJiang'sEvilClone It's a short season
Ok, that should be one more fire put out.
05:17
@fbueckert Hmmm?
@YiJiang'sEvilClone My dance studio's website got a little borked.
I don't have the password to make any changes myself, but I'm pretty sure I figured out what the problem was, and told the owner's son what needs to be done to fix it.
Hmmm, SpeedTest.net was compromised and used for drive-by malware downloads using the 0-day Java exploit
@YiJiang'sEvilClone That's a smart move. Unethical as hell, but smart.
Here's the analysis: invincea.com/2013/02/…
The attack looks pretty sophisticated
Doesn't say how the site was compromised in the first place though
Well, it's bedtime for this cat. I just spent two hours holding some dramatic tango postures, so I have lots of sore muscles.
06:01
@fbueckert That sounds like fun
That was also a while ago >.>
After all these years, Stack Overflow finally gets real buttons
They're so cute
I think I'm the only person here who'd appreciate how cute these buttons are
user15026

I don't use SO :p
I'm going to bed
Good night
When did 12:30 happen?
Bah

You know the phrase 'cute as a button'? These buttons are where that phrase came from

Q: How do I reach the rooms east of "A Jump Too Far"?

On other screenshots I have seen at least three more rooms in the section marked red, but I can't find any route I haven't...

Q: How can one express that a relationship must not be cyclic?

badpConsider a upgrades relationship: I need to make sure that upgrades cannot be circular. How can I do that in Alloy?

@JasonBerkan What makes you think a forum wouldn't get 35, nay, 300 replies? (If it's less awkward then more people will do so.)
Hmmm, just tested the Google Docs thing. "alot" was correctly flagged as misspelled, and "a lot" is definitely not taken as misspelling.
Did you guys see my proposal? I'd really like some feedback on it.
@njallam Broadly speaking would it duplicate with the Writers proposal?
@badp hey, a few months back I asked a question on Meta about a Starcraft 2 HotS event and was told to ask again now. Do I open a new dupe or bump the original?

Q: Can we do an event for Starcraft 2

EnderStarcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm is coming out sooner than later, and I feel this game has enough reputation and prestige to easily compete with Diablo 3 or Mass Effect 3, of which both games had promotions on this website. Promotions are fun, and I'd very much like to see one for Heart of the Swar...

Yea.
@Ender Start fresh, ask a dupe

did you really delete it?
i was hoping to link to it and make my life that much easier

Considering how often anybody sees any origami anymore, yea, I guess thats exactly what I'm saying. THERE I said it.
@Origami YOUR OLD!

uahauhuahuahauh
@YiJiang'sEvilClone Oh, you sire.
@badp Most certainly I am!
Gratuitous skeuomorphism yay
The one thing that discour-ages me about discourse is that it accepts HTML, Markdown and BBCode.
...because text parsing in SE wasn't already hard enough.
You're worried about XSS vulnerabilities?
12:08
Nah, I'm worried about the wider range of issues that can come up when you just mix and match languages hapazardly
even silly things like [b](http://imgur.com/)[/b]
what is that? a link or a bolded parenthetical?
I'll leave the challenge of figuring out how each of the languages interact to the developers
Spoiler alert:
Things are messy
The backend is not written in JavaScript, right?
That means they wrote the sanitizer / interpreter twice for both sides, wow
@YiJiang'sEvilClone The nice part is, at least they rendered the same thing in the same way.
Also it isn't even "real" Markdown because the most common Markdown newbie gotcha (you have to newline twice or double-space-newline to start a new line) has been addressed and newlines newline.
They're using GitHub flavored Markdown then?
12:17
I have no idea
Oy
Oi! Spoilers!!! publishing spoilers....
@YiJiang'sEvilClone That feeling. I know it.
12:38
I just had the St. Patrick's Day episode of Cardboard Tube Samurai as a dream. Complete with Burger King commercials. What.
Which character were you?
I wasn't in the show, or the commercials. Just an observer there.
...the Grace Note sitting on the coach watching the TV? the loaf of quasi-meat being flipped in the commercial? the guys getting slashed by the tube samurai?
Actually, I just noticed that whatever site was originally hosted it caught off the others name with their stupid logo. May they rot in hades.
Seriously, if you cut an authors name out of a comic you should just die.
Time for school. tortoise swoosh
@Wipqozn They didn't just cut the author name, they completely rearranged the strip too
12:46
@badp Wow. Just...wow.
Do you know the original source? I'd love to give him hits.
I just seen it on Facebook via a friend, who has no idea.
Google images gives buzzfeed.com/darthvader/… which sources swtorstrategies.com (!)
@Wipqozn ...I suppose the "official link" is kevinbolk.com/gallery/51
"Image 16 of 26"
That can't quite be it though.
It even comes logically after image 17, which is backwards.
Okay, thank you @badp. You are a hero.
resumes swoosh
@Wipqozn I'm not sure the author would appreciate hotlinking either :P
13:06
such a weird game!
13:42
I'm bored
I keep trying to unlock the last 3 ships I need in FTL and failing. (Slug, Mantis, Crystal)
Awww !@#$%. Just lost an hour of SimCity 4 progress to a crash. I was doing so well too, balanced budget with small surplus on an entirely new region is no small feat
Brought the city up to 27k population
Let's see if the autosaver is any good...
I think the idea is basically to have something like autohotkey send a ctrl+s to the game every x minutes.
The game pauses while saving though.
