Where of course the discotime unit isn't what it seems, and the "X of Y" numbers are both DiscoRounded in different ways.
You only have 50 of 40 likes remaining for the next 0 DiscoSeconds. Are you sure you want to like this post?
Yes No

That's part of the definition of discotime and the associated units.

Amazon just sent me this email:
I'll say this, if you know anybody that's going to have surgery and has to do the pre-op GI cleansing, that's probably enough for at least 100* surgeries, there. At about $1/dose, these are a lot cheaper than the magnesium citrate stuff from the drug store.*80 oz., and from the reviews, I'd estimate that it takes less than 1 oz. to be effective.

Please don't ever let Jeff find this post
Too late. They already do that for new stackexchange site proposals.

I find the "Gourmet Food" part of the category
somewhatextremely unsettling..

TVs are controlled by infrared signals right? With no authentication, you just need line of sight with the room it's in (a sufficiently strong light will reflect and scatter in the wall and be detected by the receiver).
So in a big city, if you can find the right spot, you could turn on or off thousands of TVs remotely with a powerful IR laser. You could turn them on and turn up the volume to the maximum!
The recent invention of >1W 850 and 970nm IREDs makes a miniature long range version of the TV-B-Gone feasible. Such a device could be considered a form of infrared DDoS if combined with a rapid scanning of all open windows in the area and a MEMS based autopointer that prevented the devices thus jammed from being turned back n with their own remote controls.
-
and this is why it is becoming increasingly popular to place a bit of black tape over the IR receiver of TVs in bars and other public places.
we will have to find a new exploit.
-
Not feasible, for the same reasons I outlined above.
I was referring to being in the possession of one of:
a. an infrared laser of sufficient power to affect thousands of TVs scattered throughout a typical urban area,
b. a group of people sufficiently large and determined to achieve the same effect with hand-held devices (remotes)

In elementary school, there was a kid in my class who had a universal TV remote built into his wristwatch. He used to turn on classroom TVs as he walked by during restroom breaks. Nobody had any idea what was going on!
Yup, my neighbor did that all the time...

From Reddit, apropos the latest TDWTF feature article:
When I want to piss people off, I put my stupid comments where stupid people can't remove them: in the password salt hash string.
One particularly horrible employer has a password hash string similar to: "If you're reading this, get out while you still can. They'll treat you like a 4 year old and expect 24x7x365 on-call"
It can't be removed or changed without changing all the passwords everywhere or breaking everything.
Okay, Discourse, why is the first empty line missing from the rendered post?

Discoursistency!

An SQL database that stores all data as posts in a Discourse instance. I still haven't figured out the ideal scheme but it's definitely possible.
As a bonus, it also replaces message passing servers and probably several other things.

And is the seeding for Skynet. Don't do it, kids.

But imagine the possibilities! So many websites could be replaced with Discourse and a handful of bots, eliminating code redundancy: email, IM, Facebook, Wikipedia, imgur, YouTube (if you could upload videos), Drupal, eBay, Amazon, and I'm sure Discourse's excellent search capabilities could even replace Google Search one day.
That's it, I'll go hire an AI researcher to add intelligence and learning abilities to Discourse right now.

Not to forget:
SCXHBBTMDL is the one true way to create pretty formatted documents.
Bye-bye MS Office 356 and Google Docs.

If that is the case, then Skynet would be full of WTFs! How glorious! Plus, the built-in rate throttling would seriously slow down Skynet. Could give us an advantage.

For how long?
-
At least until it can figure out it's own code and fix itself.

This is Ember and RoR, I think we have some time.

The good ideas thread is that way.

Would like, but, well, you know.

do i smell an avatar change?

What do you do about code smells, then?

Code smell is one of those senses that is separate to the 4 I actually have. One can develop it just by thinking.

Unfortunately for some (e.g., DiscoDevs), thinking is a difficult process, and thus code smell is impossible for them to detect.

Oh, sure, it's not something that you can just randomly pick up. It does require thought and time investment.

have you built a robot to smell cheese and petril for you yet?

You only have 4 senses?Do those include common sense, sense of style and sense of orientation?

Also, is @PJH plays with the site's CSS?
-
Yup - that was me.

Is it something you're planning to use for marking old threads?
I'd like that.
