There seem to be lots of surprises hidden in the site. For example: go to your profile page and hit up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a .

Interesting; did you discover this by trying every combination of keystrokes you could think of?

No, I cheated and looked at the source of the page:
<script type="text/javascript">
function execKonami() {
$(".member-rep-box > .medium-text > b").html("∞");
$(".member-rep-box").addClass("platinum");
$(".member-rep-total > .large-text").text("A squillion");
}
var kkeys = [], konami = "38,38,40,40,37,39,37,39,66,65";
function kcallback(e) {
kkeys.push(e.keyCode);
if (kkeys.toString().indexOf(konami) >= 0) {
kkeys = [];
execKonami();
}
}
$(document).ready(function (){
$(window).bind("keydown", kcallback);
});
</script>

Really that!
If I do it at the profile of another member, than he/she has a squillion points,
but my color in the upper-right-corner is platinum

That was from double bubble, wasn't it?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Every message is showing as "new", and the side-bar is showing "indicates new messages since 4:00 1 Jan '00". Is this the new Millennium bug?

Strange - I'm still logged in, and it's remembered my view settings. It seems to have fixed itself now, so it was probably Firefox having a brainfart.

I just recalled we had a high load issue a couple of days ago and it could have been a simple case of the system timing out while retrieving some of your supplemental account info list the last time your logged in.

Unlikely; wouldn't that have logged me out and reset my view settings as well?

Fluid layout: Things shifted right side. Unable to report or vote.
FF16
Fixed layout: Same shift is there making large whitespace on left compared to right.
UPDATE: Now things look fine.

It was for all the forums. But as I updated, all is good now.

I find myself asking questions that from time to time get really rude responses or answers, and though I am an adult and can take criticism, it do make me hesitate to be as active a member on this site as I want to be.
Now I asked a question a few day's ago and one of the highest scored "helpers" in the "ask a question"-section, gave me a tongue-lashing for asking a stupid question I should have known the answer to. Well, I if was a schooled programmer and not a self-taught programmer I might have had the breadth of basic knowledge to see what's obvious to other.
But when the MSDN reference library, (which are awesome), is like looking for a tidbit of fact in the NYC library without knowing the subject, title nor author of the book it might be in, I ask a question. When I ask a question, I hope for a quick precise answer, and maybe a link to the relevant MSDN page for more details.
But when what one gets is a tirade about my failures, Can't help but get a bit miffed. Now I admit that my experience with C# is limited, and I wish I could use PHP for desktop development, but I can't, so I'm stuck trying to get by with what I have and trying to learn more every day.
Perhaps my little tirade isn't quite what it could be, but I want to make my point clear, it might be a good idea to separate the "ask a question" into 2 or 3 categories based on what level of skill the asker is at, after all, there are a big difference asking for how get a random number between two values, and the quality of randomness in a self-developed randomization class, versus the standard "Random"-class provided native in C#
Just a thought!

Which question, and what did the member say? I cannot figure out what you are refering to.
I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

That's absolutely not important. Who said what exactly has nothing to do with the actual purpose of my post.

First of all, I'm sorry that you have received such a poor response; unfortunately this doesn't help to improve peoples perceptions of the site, so I really wish it hadn't happened. If someone makes an effort to ask a decent question, they should not be belittled - the only time the criticism is valid is when there has been no effort, and attempts to get improvements are met with hostility.
Saying that, I don't think that there needs to be a split. What one person considers basic another person considers advanced so the split would be largely subjective. Perhaps we just need to remember that people are trying and give them a bit more lee way. And if it's any consolation, some of us who are experienced have been treated with the same arrogance as well. The big difference that we have is that we are big and bad enough to be able to bite back.

You might be right, but the community mustn't become some exclusive club, only for codemasters. It's important to guide the those who ask "stupid questions", but do so in a civilized manner. And to come down hard upon those who would use their knowledge superiority to denigrate and humiliate the people who seek it.
A stupid question is always worth more than an unpleasant answer, in my humble opinion.

Maybe describing yourself as "Chief Technology Officer" gives people the impression that you know more than you do.

I DO have my own company, and when it comes to the larger field of ICT, I have no problem calling myself competent, but except for PHP (and web-related markup languages), my programming skills isn't what I want them to be.

Having looked at some of the comments you have put into Q&A I really cannot see what you are complaining about.
