Q: Automatically vendor certain items?

eastdragonI still seem to have a lot of problems deciding on what exactly is a good piece of rare equipment to keep in order to sell on the AH & what should I just automatically vendor/salvage within the game, & thus I have three almost full tabs on my stash & nine almost completely full mule c...

 
Thanks for mentioning my answer Wipqozn

@YiJiang Actually when you use an IMAP client with GMail and you use the Delete button, GMail archives instead
at least that's what happens if you delete from the inbox
I dunno what happens if you delete from any other folder
 
I have a little problem with stackexchange though: I asked a question without creating an account, but then providing an e-mail address in the process, effectively creating an account. When I logged out, it said I had an account with the following e-mail address.
Problem now is: There seems to be no account with that e-mail address, but my old "account" still exists
since I have some reputation on it, I would like to recover it, is there a possibility?
 
@SheridanVespo sure
I need a link to it
 
like contacting someone?

Q: I want to indent the next line by an exactly specified position

SheridanVespoI am typesetting an entire math lecture script, where readability often requires me to indent just a line or two for a certain amount, which is ALWAYS different. I would like to have some way of controlling the indent of the next line by an & like in tables, or any other control character. I ...

that is a question I posted
on the other account
 
1:28 PM
@SheridanVespo Okay, you need a TeX mod to merge accounts 18460 and 18085

I'm a Gaming mod so I can't help you :)
 
well I cannot access the forums, because on this account I only have 1 reputation for tex

not forum
 
Uh, I believe you just need 20 reputation anywhere
 
I tried
 
I'll put up a flag for the TeX mods anyway
 
yeah isn't the chat reputation a combined number?
 
1:29 PM
didn't work
oh, works now
 
@SheridanVespo I have informed the TeX mods with the flag feature
see also this for more information
 
thanks, but as I said: I cannot access the other one
 
Ah, I see
He has 55 reps with this account from SO and Arqade, but only 1 on Tex
He has 58 reps on Tex in the other account

The soundtracks for Horns, by the way, are quite good
 
thanks badp
everything is fine now. I would have never thought it to be that easy
 
@SheridanVespo you're welcome!
 
I didn't realise badp was so easy either

@pixel We will see, about that ;)
 
@badp yaaaaaay
 
The first prior art request in our Patent site beta is about a video game application. (And a pretty bad application at that.) Thought folks here might be interested:

Q: Prior art of video games played according to a selected value system such as the claimed "codes of honor" in Pat. App. No. 20120052930?

bibUS patent application 2012/0052930 is titled "System and method for the heros journey mythology code of honor video game engine and heros journey code of honor spy games wherein one must fake the enemy's ideology en route to winning" Claim 1. A system and method for creating video games and ...

Yep - thanks, @badp. (It's a pseudo-private beta.)
 
1:51 PM
Patent SE sounds like code for a lawyer's playground.
 
That said I'm only aware of one other such game, and it's pretty recent
and also not a videogame
 
I'm sorry I can't take part in legal activities
 
2:04 PM
> 3. The system and method in claim 1 where the selected code of honor determines which in-game words and deeds are rewarded with rewards, and which in-game deeds are punished with punishments.
From memory, nethack has a similar system dependent on both the role and alignment of the player's characters
Claims 1-5 describes the class system used widely in RPGs
Claims 6 and above are... uh, a little weird
 
The thing with prior art finding is, I'm afraid, you need to find prior art with all the claims
I might be wrong on this
There's a very long article on groklaw about it but I didn't read it entirely
after all it's really sad that I know fairly much about the US copyright and patent system and yet know jack shit about my country's.
 
Is it me or is that patent claim filled with gibberish as I scroll down it?

Q: What determines the rustling grass?

C-dizzleVery rarely do I see the rustling grass when I'm walking through it. What are the determining factors when the grass starts to shake? Is it just a random event? Is there any items or a pokemon move that I can use that will increase the chance of this happening?

Q: Who should I use my Master Ball on?

C-dizzleIn Pokemon Black/White, Reshiram and Zekrom are very easy to capture using Dusk Balls. Usually I can get them in one or 2 shots.

@YiJiang lol. I love that kind of profanity filtering.
 
2:18 PM
@YiJiang Sounds like the OCR went kaboom.
 
If lawyers can get paid to write this sort of stuff, I want in too
 
@fbueckert Have you actually read the sentences where the text is "illegible"?
"This is the funniest [text missing or illegible when filed] ever."
 
@badp Or it could be a profanity filter.
I just skimmed it real quick.
 
Maybe it said [text missing or illegible when filed] all over the document and you're both wrong?
 
2:20 PM
@badp They seem to be repeating in places.

@badp It's flowcharts galore.
 
:D
 
@RedRiderX Mostly one step yes/no flowcharts.
 
@fbueckert These are still flow charts.
 
@RedRiderX No, those are attempts to disguise simple choices as a valid patent.
 
I'm confused about what you're talking about
 
2:27 PM
@fbueckert Also true.
 
@RedRiderX I don't call one step choices, flowcharts. It's an abomination that attempts to make something more complicated than it actually is, and whoever wrote it should be slapped upside the head.
 
@fbueckert Sorry, I can't respond because I'm still laughing at figures 10 and 11.
 
@Sterno What is it with you and Friday trolling?
 
2:33 PM
@Sterno What, that you are a HORRIBLE PERSON!!
 
@fbueckert Makes my week!

@sterno I hate you now.
 
Now that it's starred, it'll get even more people!
We we we so excited!
 
I think I'm missing context for these figures.
 
2:38 PM
@Sterno Someone seems to be attempting to patent generic RPG tropes.
 
@Sterno Part of a patent filing.
 
@pixel Fuck, I pwned myself :D Add me as an owner if you'd please
or don't, I'm afraid there's not much more I can tell you
 
@badp done and np
 
@Sterno Gang Fight, Gang Fight!
The gang is down to fight, yeah
Have I brought this chicken for us to eat?
 
Isn't filing a patent rather expensive?
 
2:47 PM
@Sterno Suing someone for using your patent without a license is much more lucrative.
Even if you didn't actually design or invent anything. Welcome to patent trolling.
 
@Sterno Roughly $5k-$15k. It also tends to take several years to get it through the system. (In the US at least).
 
@Ullallulloo And it only runs Honeycomb?

Q: How do I play GFWL online with multiple computers on the LAN?

@RonanForman Yeah no interest in people to do a UHC tomorrow, just seems timing is bad
@RonanForman You might be interested in a potentially significant number of UK MC'ers joining the server in the not to far future :)
 
@James Which server?
 
@RonanForman my TFC server
 
@James What do you mean 'no' interest.
 
@RonanForman No one feels like playing UHC this weekend
 
I'm taking that to mean 0 people.
 
4:49 PM
@RonanForman I would hope so since I am pretty sure I am speaking English and I am pretty sure that is where you are from :)
 
It could have also meant not enough.

I was curious if summoned "allies" damage count towards this. Some...

Q: In Minecraft, what is the most space-efficient way to construct AND and OR Redstone gates?

@RonanForman Umm. You have a UHC script? :)

@James To start up the UHC server.
 
@RonanForman Nope, didnt know we even had one
 
Odd, its not loading in a screen anymore.

Q: What determines the amount of condition damage from conditions applied by sigils and traits?

Q: How is TNT on the Xbox version of Minecraft different than PC Minecraft?

TheEpicUnknownI have noticed that on PC TNT explodes almost instantly, when grouped, but not on the Xbox version. Is the code different?

 
6:15 PM
@badp I wonder if this is actually any different than any other major MMO release or if ArenaNet are just being more vocal about it.
 
I got my Arqade swag today
 
@badp If someone hacks my password, they'll manage to play the game before I do!

@pixel got suspended?
Missed that one
 
@Sterno You got me with this same link twice. Once in the chat, and once in the starred messages hours later.
 
@fredley Huh. Voting Irregularities. I wonder why.
 
@fbueckert Voting Irregularities?
 
@James Automated suspension, most likely, I would assume.
 
@fbueckert Yeah but what constitutes that.. I mean.. do I need to give my voting a bran muffin in the morning or something?

@OrigamiRobot Thanks man :)
 
@James Oh gee, I never thought of that kind of irregularity.
 
I think @fbueckert is still too busy /facepalm'ing :D
 
@James Don't forget the facedesking.
 
Sooo, nap or Chrono Trigger? This is an important decision.
 
@OrigamiRobot Sleep is overrated.
Travelling through time is the thing to do.

But I've got to fight Magus now :(
 
@OrigamiRobot So kick his ass and continue.
All bosses are speedbumps on your way to Lavos.
 
But he is so haaaaaard
 
So not to be a gossip, but does anyone know what's up with Pixel being suspended?
 
I actually never beat Lavos
 
X-Com Preordered!
@StrixVaria This is the best Friday ever.

user15026
@bwarner Pixel got suspended?
 
@bwarner Not sure if suspensions are ever automatic, but from what I can find, this is usually a case of sockpuppeting.
 
@Sterno Perfect. I will do it when I get home.
 
user15026
Profile says voting irregularities. Probably socks or something.
 
7:06 PM
I hate socks. They make my feet warm and itchy.

I hate video card numbering systems. I can never tell if my system meets the system requirements.
 
@JasonBerkan And hence why they use it, I'd guess. You want to run a new game? Buy a new video card!

7:11 PM
@JasonBerkan Doesn't refute the basic premise, though.
 
@fbueckert No. Looks like I should be OK. Mine is a GeForce 300 series and min requirements are an 8 series, which is much older.

Why did this get re-opened?
The author admitted he wanted discussion.

@fbueckert I have no idea
 
user15026
My intention on this question was to make a discussion. Now a realize that i should go to a forum if a want to discuss something. Sorry. This question will be deleted in about 24 hours. — Lucas Primo yesterday
 
user15026
7:15 PM
Interesting to see if anything comes of that
 
@AshleyNunn Exactly; the whole purpose of the question was to invite discussion. Ergo, it should never have been re-opened.
 
user15026
@fbueckert I know, eh?
 
The only discussion we got out of it was, yes, questions like this are not a good fit. Close, close, close!
 
user15026
@fbueckert yet magically it got....opened.
 
Not that I'm for or against that question being closed, but I don't think the author's intent is a terribly relevant data point for whether or not a question should be closed.
Take his name off it and put mine on it, and it is either a closeworthy or not question. Whose name is attached and why they asked shouldn't matter.
 
7:20 PM
@Sterno Granted.
This was closed long before he added the comment.
 
user15026
Fair enough. I would VTC again if I could
 
@fbueckert You'll just have to ask @JasonBerkan, @Ktash, @yx., @DaveMcClelland, and @Shinrai :)

@Sterno what's up
 
user2334
okay I'm done
 
@Sterno Also, hello.
 
@fbueckert Where did people end up on closing/opening it? I've been avoiding the discussion, but if the general consensus is to close it, I can vote either way
 
@DaveMcClelland You voted to re-open it. :P
 
user2334
7:23 PM
@DaveMcClelland Lot of chatty chat chat, but there's a meta discussion
 
user2334
Oh, you want a bottom line, not a link. Oops
 
user2334
I thought the consensus was to say "thanks but no thanks" Still think it'd be fine on SciFi
 
@fbueckert I did, because the beginning of Ashley's post seemed to indicate that people wanted it opened and I agreed originally. Now, I'm on the fence and would rather just have my vote persuaded by the masses
SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TO THINK. I DON'T TO FORM MY OWN OPINION
 
@DaveMcClelland The question does not impact how you play the game in any manner whatsoever.
 
@Sterno I cast my reopen vote immediately after it was closed - before the meta discussion and before the last comments because I personally hate that we (and most of SE) close everything that doesn't fit in a little box. Normally four other people don't follow suit.
 
user2334
7:25 PM
@DaveMcClelland You should provide ALL GLORY TO HYPNOTOAD
 
It might be an interesting tidbit of lore, but like @LessPop_MoreFizz said, games of Poke the Plot Hole are in general answered by, "Who cares?"
 
@DaveMcClelland You think robots are awesome, especially paper related robots.
 
In which case, ask it on SciFi; they can have their crazy Star Trek couch questions there.
 
user2334
Oh SciFi. I think I need to take a break from there

Apparently it's out of line

@MarkTrapp guess I am a dreamer ;)
 
@OrigamiRobot Yes. I was under the impression that you were pure evil.
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot Good point. I am not entirely sure....

The mods deleted the 18 comments on the question from last night :(

@MarkTrapp :(

Not at installation but there is some 3rd party software out there.
 
user15026
@RonanForman I see. So he comes with evil options?
 
user15026
Any way to know if those got installed?
 
@MarkTrapp I refuse to ever try to discuss their policies with them again. They really don't care. If it gets upvotes, its fair game.
 
7:31 PM
@AshleyNunn Not without a physical connection, and if he is evil I'm not getting close.
 
user15026
@RonanForman Fair enough. Can't know for sure what might happen.
 
user2334
@OrigamiRobot Indeed. I don't know what I was thinking: usually I avoid this on SciFi and just vote silently. I blame lack of sleep.
 
user2334
Also, there's a patents.stackexchange.com that already has a design? What is this sorcery
 
user2334
 
@MarkTrapp One time I tried asking what one question was asking that wasn't covered by an existing question. This was also unacceptable.
 
user2334
7:35 PM
The main problem I've found on SciFi is that none of the top users seem to be in it to make the internet a better place. The top users are doing it, as far as they've shown, solely to get the Legendary badge.
 
user2334
And they seem to flip any time anyone down-votes their posts because of that, coming up with wild conspiracy theories about the timing of the votes
 
@MarkTrapp I should make an account on SciFi solely to downvote stuff.
 
user2334
Ugh, now that you've said it they're going to find that and use it as proof positive of a conspiracy
 
I know DVK has already been suspended for suspicious voting practices
 
user2334
Aha, really? I wish I could I say I'm surprised
 
user15026
7:38 PM
@MarkTrapp I suspect this speaks for it - "For more about Stack Exchange's collaboration with the USPTO, Peer To Patent, and Google, please visit the FAQ."
 
user2334
Interesting. Completely bypassed Area 51 too: I don't recall ever seeing a Patents proposal
 
user15026
And this, from the FAQ - "Ask Patents was designed in collaboration with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and Peer To Patent, whose efforts empowering citizens to help find prior art inspired the crowdsourced approach you see here. We also worked with Google to leverage the power of Google Patents Search and their new Prior Art Finder Tool."
 
The conspiracy is that there are loads of crap questions, being made by a secret society of stack exchangers.
 
Can anyone tell me what this is asking that this isn't?
 
user15026
@OrigamiRobot nope. I havent a clue
 
7:41 PM
Huh, the patents site has a really nice "about" page.
 
user15026
@sjohnston I like the about page. I wonder if it will roll out elsewhere, or if it is site specific?
 
Exactly. If I had VTC privileges on SciFi, I would use up all my votes every day on dupes.
 
What a weird run through of Isaac
 
user2334
@OrigamiRobot That's a standard MO of the top users, and what prompted the issue before. They ask a question that's clearly not complete and not really what they want to ask, then when they get an answer, they ask a follow-up question that's pretty much the same as the first one, but has added context.
 
user2334
If I wanted to get in on the conspiracy theories, I'd say it's to double the votes they get for any one question
 
7:44 PM
@MarkTrapp That DVK dude really doesn't like your reasoning.
 
@MarkTrapp Or an answer goes above and beyond the original question and they ask a new question about the additional content.
 
I'm in Necropolis 2. as Judas. I have growth hormones (+dmg +speed), the dove (flight, spectral tears), Samson (+dmg/kill), the Relic (+blue heart/6 rooms)...
 
user2334
@OrigamiRobot Aha yeah that too
 
and I have found a total of three fucking keys
I've skipped all the shops and two item rooms
Two levels had no secret room in sane places
I have 53 fucking cents but not a single arcade
 
I'm too lazy to find the links, but someone asked "Is batman a scientist?" which was quickly followed by a new question "Has batman ever been shown to use the scientific method?"
 
7:46 PM
It's like, an awesome character with really rotten luck
 
user2334
@fbueckert Yeah. You should've seen the comments on the original question and the meta question. Lots of thinly-veiled accusations of people personally attacking him or serial down-voting
 
I also have the belt and two container hearts (yay health down pill)
 
@OrigamiRobot Yeah. The only reason anyone would have to ask another question is for rep whoring.
 
Once, I asked this and it was followed by this. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS ASKING.
 
user2334
@OrigamiRobot I'd vote to close as a duplicate, but that leaves a comment and I don't think I have the wherewithal for another knock-down, drag-out "discussion"

@MarkTrapp "What does “Seven” and “nine” mean in “Seven of Nine”?"
I actually think that's a pretty good question.
Based on the title alone at least.
 
Then I found an Arcade. Which game me enough keys to open the shop.

@Wipqozn That's where boardgames.SE comes in.
 
The most infuriating thing is the top users have some really good questions.
 
user2334
@Wipqozn The General Reference rule is terrible. It's worse than NC in terms of "Well I don't like this question, but it's not really close-worthy, so…"
 
The most humorous thing must be googling that question and find it closed because "it's too easy"

I wrote 650 words on Tom Bombadil and the question was closed then deleted as General Reference because Wikipedia has an article on him.
 
@fbueckert I want to comment "Maybe it's not you, it's the questions." but that would start something.

Copypasta fail :(
 
Rule of Stack Exchange #17: every rule gains 500 millhitlters when it causes your question to be closed.
 
user2334
500 mHits? I'd say it's more like 4 literal hitlers. You know who also closed questions? Pol Pot.
 
I'm sorry, I don't deal with the idiosincracies of the imperial literal system
 
7:56 PM
@OrigamiRobot Eh. I hear you on that; he's not looking for discussion, he just wants someone to attack.
 
user2334
@badp That's what I'm saying! Are closed questions indexed?
 
I think so, yeah
 
@OrigamiRobot It's called rep farming.
 
I mean, unless you start putting rel="nofollow" on internal links
or having incredibly ginormous robots files
 
user2334
Oh right, the URLs for closed questions aren't modified
 
7:58 PM
New rule! Staying away from SciFi.
 
@MarkTrapp er?
 
user2334
@badp if they were modified you could just add a wildcard to your robots.txt to get them all. Absent that, you need to use heavy wizardry
 
@OrigamiRobot I already don't follow your Adventure Time links; what makes you think I'm going to start following these links?
 
@fbueckert Because you love me.
 
8:02 PM
@OrigamiRobot I have an internal rep system; you haven't hit the point where I automatically follow your links.
 
user2334
@OrigamiRobot I see your pointless zombie question, and raise you a pointless zombie, werewolf, and vampire question
 
Also, the history shows that you tend to link things I don't like, so the barrier to entry is much higher.
 
user2334
@fbueckert It's a link to a page about Hitler was a bad man. Checkmate, atheists Hitler lover.
 
user2334
@OrigamiRobot Elves aren't real people.
 
8:05 PM
gasp
 
@MarkTrapp Sounds like a stretch argument if ever I heard one. Just because I don't like something doesn't automatically mean I like the opposite.
 
user2334
@OrigamiRobot That's right, I'm an anti-Elvite!
 
I found the batman scientist questions
 
user2334
@fbueckert The implication is that you don't like something saying that Hitler was a bad man. People who don't like other people saying Hitler was a bad man are literally Hitler.
 
@OrigamiRobot Is it alright for me to suggest that some of these people are trolling?
 
8:08 PM
@MarkTrapp Referencing Hitler automatically invalidates your argument.
 
user2334
You know who came up with Godwin's Law? Hit— okay I'm done now
 
@RedRiderX Unfortunately these trolls are the highest rep users
 
@OrigamiRobot Ben Brocka?
 
Now that we have demonstrated why pointless trivia questions are a horrible disease, cmon people
 
user2334
@RedRiderX Trolling in the loosest sense: they're coming up with mediocre and inane questions and doing various other things that people would frown upon for the sake of capping out on rep every day so they can get the Legendary badge.
 
8:10 PM
@RedRiderX I thought you were referring to the more recent of the two. (that's the one that doesn't belong)

What? A new DayZ map? When did this happen?
 
@OrigamiRobot Are you playing now?
 
No, I was just looking at the DayZDB news. I might play in a minute.
 
8:20 PM
We should play it for game on this weekend.
 
@RonanForman Not the easiest game to meet up in
 
@James You spawn in roughtly the same place.
 
@RonanForman .. on the new map? You used to spawn all along the bottom of the map before. Would some times take my group all day to meet up and still be healthy
 
@James That long? Okay maybe not then.
 
8:24 PM
@RonanForman Roughly as in an hour away? Sure. And that is assuming there are no holdups, bandits, zombies, getting lost, etc.
 
@OrigamiRobot Link to the new map?
Well we don't have to meet up.
 
Can you play on it yet?
 
I assume so, I have no idea.

Q: How do you play multiplayer in Civilization V?

joeIn the game there is a tab for multiplayer and after that, the "Internet" option. When I clicked it, only one game was there and it was only two people. So how do you connect and play multiplayer?
