I have never seen you make any comment that could be considered racist.
But the Ashes are starting and I shall expect a few Anti-English sentiments to come hurtling across the ether!
(Not necessarily from you, but from other Ocker Members).
Would they be banned and classed as racist? I do hope not, for I am looking forward to responding in kind!

I didn't call you peronally a racist, but by not acting/sticking your head in the sand/"allowing the community to moderate itself" - you're condoning racism...

You can't do that when some individuals put their own right of speech above the respect for other people...

Why? That too is acceptable in certain cultures - no difference there...
You don't need to worry, I'm not planning to post a picture guide on that, but your argument that that is two different things don't hold up...

Johnny,
I think this thread has been done to death.
Your views have been made, opinions expressed, and arguements entered into.
Draw a line and move on.
There is so much more to talk about than a now old subject.

Is that a new word derived from "feline" and "delicious", or did you mean "fallacious"?

That will teach me to stop using IE and start using a browser with an inbuilt "guess who can't spell!" feature.

Not so much a bug as an opinion.
When a new post is made using the 'news' option, it gets a Bold 'NEWS' header on the post.
Given that the other options have a pertinant icon rather than a word, could not some form of consistancy be maintained.
ie an Icon for news?
I would suggest a small newspaper icon, or a lightbulb (for it is illuminating).
I think the word 'News' looks inconsistant and ugly.

I'm guessing you're using Firefox.
"News" items do have an icon, but it seems that the image, for some reason, wasn't downloaded when you viewed the page. FireFox shows the ALT text if it can't find the image. The alt text, in this case, is News.

Amazing what a Ctrl F5 can do.

Seriously, Lambda Simplified[^] is not a good article and yet it's in the Best C# article survey. What's wrong? Weren't there enough decent articles in place that this one could sneak in?

There's an ethnic voting bloc at work here I suspect.

Sadly I suspect you're right. Yet, looking at the voting on the article, the guy has attracted more my votes of 1 than sh*t attracts flies.

It must have had just enough votes to make a spot.

I think there needs to be some manual filtering then before allowing articles into the "Best article" categories. There seems to have been a fair amount of shill voting on that article to counter the fact that so many people voted it 1. With such a blizzard of downvotes, I'd expect it to have fallen off the radar a lot sooner.

Well, they are a pretty disreputable lot.

This seems hit and miss and doesn't seem restricted to a single server. I've asked our IT specialist to dig in and see what's happening.

(using Firefox 3.6.12)
There are no tab UI (that contains Articles, Technical Blogs, Tip/Tricks, ... ) on the main page.
All sections are just listed sequentially.
It seems to be working fine with Chrome and IE8
Max.
Watched code never compiles.

We've upgraded our jQuery UI script to a new version and it could be that your browser hasn't bothered to grab the new version. Pateience, or Ctrl+F5, will fix the issue.

Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

Ah, cut him some slack, he's an accountant for Christ's sake not a programmer.
On the other hand...
