It's me. I am actually a spy from, well, a concurrent site, and every other day, I choose a brilliant soul on CP and downvote everything he posts. It is kind of tedious, because brilliant people tend to be quite numerous here, but I hope I will get the bests' reputation ruined at some point of time.
The other part of my job is to approve crap articles and upvote them. This is also not easy, because I have to go and read things that make my eyes bleed.
I have two colleagues who go through computer science homework books and copytype questions from there in the Q&A section, after doing some Google translate English->Klingon->French->English. Thank god, the translation is now automated using a clever VB6.0 script running in an Excel97 Spreadsheet on our Vista machine (the real machines are used by our numerous community managers, so we are left with the rest). Creating accounts with fake Indian or Eastern European forenames takes most of the time, though, as well as rereading the posts to get the intelligible English sentences out that survived the translation script.
My boss also shows up from time to time, choose randomly a CP regular, spam-vote all his recent posts using sixteen different accounts to get him banned, and angry. If he succeeds, he celebrates by picking up a post in the Lounge or the Soapbox (bad jokes are usual suspects), and reposts it with an adequate title ("I bet you have never heard this one").
So far, we have not succeeded much in bringing chaos, but we are happily helped by some folks who do all this naturally, or even posts some cryptic clues or quotes or pictures of spray-can-painted stars landscapes, neither of which we have ever understood, so I keep faith.

Alas not, because the guy who was posting videos of advertisements, PHP tutorials and Lotus Notes advanced user conferences on CPTv has now been reassigned to the one open position we had - I am not sure what he does exactly though, IIRC it has something to do with global warming posts. He also drinks a lot of gin, hangs printed sheets stating "CP rules N.xxx", aims darts at a plush hamster during his breaks.

Well, creating chaos is a big job, but somebody has go to do it; otherwise we'd never appreciate beauty, or have aesthetic feelings.
Wish I could help in some way other than the verbose insanity I am often posting now. If you and your staff care to go for a retreat to Thailand, I know some places that might be inspirational.
cheers, Bill

I much appreciate your assistance, Bill. I haven't had time recently to properly stir the pot here, and it's good to have competent rabble-rousing help we can rely upon.

If your answers are right and accepted by users also then its wrong thing that any one down vote your posts And I seen that many people taking it on joke side but its not good, How can any one ignore that if he is answering right and others down vote his answer just for FUN, As per my view CP has to track that user and take needful step for that. And I seen many people are saying just ignore it its wrong no one can ignore it.

I am no guru in Javascript but I do know that I can use parseInt to convert textbox value to int. So I used it in one of the application I am working on that detects robot number and take action accordingly. We have 25 robots and application works fine with all of them except no 8 and 9. The textbox was displaying robot number as 01,02,03,...25. When robot no 8 turn up at the launch pad application simply did not fire any function it suppose to. My first thought was it must be something to do with number less then 10 but it was working fine with robots 1 to 7 so next I put a debugger on to see what is going on and watch parseInt convert 08 and 09 to 0. In Javascript parseInt consider strings starting with 0 as base 8 and that was the culprit.
parseInt("01") returns 1
parseInt("02") returns 2
parseInt("03") returns 3
parseInt("04") returns 4
parseInt("05") returns 5
parseInt("06") returns 6
parseInt("07") returns 7
parseInt("08") returns 0
parseInt("09") returns 0
Lesson learned : use parseInt(textvalue,base) function

Interesting! But I am afraid I have to ask. I am not a web developer, so I must be missing something  . Can you please explain: http://jsfiddle.net/y62ww3yw/[^]
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!

See http://es5.github.io/#E[^], search for "octal" on that page.
The behaviour changed. Starting the string with 0 is no longer allowed to screw you over with a "surprise octal". But effectively that means it depends on the implementation, with some doing it and others not, so effectively the situation is even worse now.

According to ECMA standard any string that not start with '0x' should be interpreted as 10 base...However not all browsers implement it in kine with the standard...
For instance Opera and Safari will return 0, but Chrome and Firefox will return 8...
The best practice is always provide base...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I read that Microsoft keeps 90% of its cash assets, outside of the U.S. They plan on keeping Minecraft where it is at, in Sweden, I believe.
Soon the license fee will $600 and you will have to have a Microsoft login and Steve will become 3 dimensional player/character. (i'm joking here)
Sucks, really.
