    Ask one dumb question where a decent google search could have found the answer, and recieve a bunch of downvotes on old questions and answers totally unrelated to current problem. Even got an old question from 2009 deleted.

        No way. That doesn't make sense. Granted, I have not looked around to see just how dumb ( :) ) your question was, but still. Soren Madsen

            The point is that most questions are dumb, to people who know the answer -- and this is especially true in programming.

              Given the two people who responded, I can guess which one downvoted you. He has a history of being overly arsey - his glory hunting has led to him becoming one of the most unpopular posters I've known of.

                  One notes he also didn't help at all with the question - while the other poster helped while pointing out the lack of google zen.

                              It didn't seem that bad a question. I've thrown it a 5 to compensate.

                                  That's besides the point. The question that got deleted could be off value as to give someone else the answer without having to ask the question. I doubt that the OP is worried about his reputation points. There is a saying: there are no stupid questions only stupid answers. Don't fully agree with it but haven't found anything better to act on (while in Q/A).

                                    I've just asked him why he feels it's necessary to tell people how he voted? Thinking about it, this is a complete waste of time, and is a practice we could all probably do without - I've been as guilty as anyone and thinking about it, it seems to be just that little bit arrogant. It's as though I've been saying "Now that you know that it is I who voted 5 for you little person, your whole existence has been validated".

                                      It didn't seem that bad a question. I've thrown it a 5 to compensate.

                                      Is that it all finished now and you are just waiting for results etc? Are you a broken man? I was watching the latest video from the judges (the one where the gadge fell over) and it sounds like a few folks had issues with the hardware api's particularly around the gaze tracking. Having a dig at your post length and verbosity as well, the cheek! Are you going to be entering the App Innovation 2 this year?

                                        That's besides the point. The question that got deleted could be off value as to give someone else the answer without having to ask the question. I doubt that the OP is worried about his reputation points. There is a saying: there are no stupid questions only stupid answers. Don't fully agree with it but haven't found anything better to act on (while in Q/A).

                                          Yup, just waiting for the results. It's been a blast coding this one - the app is a long way from finished. Now that the contest is over, there's so much that I need to do to it to make it a production grade application. It's heavily skewed towards the PerC side. This has led to a few opportunities with Intel, and I'm just looking at writing some stuff with them about their cloud services. They are being really great about giving me access to people and teams who wrote this stuff, so I have a lot of stuff to work with. The PerC SDK is not up to scratch right now, my last post detailed a lot about the areas where there are weaknesses. The really great thing is that Intel are listening to us, they have asked us to join their PerC advisory board to help shape the product, try out the enhancements and provided feedback. If there's an App Innovation 2, then I'll probably be entering it - I also have some other PerC stuff I want to work on, this time purely for Code Project.
