Really? I'm not hearing it...

I had a quick look, and one title caught my eye: Monitor Evolution of Possible Fans[^]
And two things struck me:
Look at the "context map" and it's ... um ... completely lacking in context!
And damn it! The StreetView icon doesn't work!

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

That's a great resource, thanks, of course it's nothing compared to what the Martians have shown me.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

I haven't got a clue - apart from the one you gave us, obviously, but that means nothing to me today...

While I have your ear - is there a way to find out who up or down votes a message ?

No, and that's by design to prevent retaliatory down vote wars.
Chris can find out, but he tells no-one!

Just ask, the person or persons will tell you.

What, individually?  It might take a while to post a message to each of the 12,425,544 of us ... and the culprit could just lie...

The chance would have been a fine thing - I've only just seen it! (Good clue, by the way).

So - a new coffee machine has arrived in the office.
It has a touch screen colour LCD display with animated graphics showing the progress of each step of the process of making coffee and a 30 page instruction manual.
It is significantly slower than the 2 button machine it replaced and the coffee is no different. It is also about 3 times the size so there is no room left to sit at the breakfast bar.

And it must make noises like a mortally wounded elephant. That's all part of the ongoing contest how far we can push the addicts before they protest.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

Step 2: Tell the addicts that the special flavor they miss from the old machine actually came from the moldy remains of old coffee powder.
