I'm not sure. The components are well-cooled, but the amount of warm air that thing pushes out tends to build up in my room. I have the windows open right now, but someone outside continues to make obnoxious noises, so I can only stand that so long before it drives me crazy. The air conditioning would work, but the rest of the house is far too cool for it to come on right now, so oh well.
@rchern I've been contemplating a duct to direct the exhaust from my fans, heh. I'm also not sure whether it's better to keep the case fans on low or turn them up..
@Dexter Admittedly, no idea. The only thing I've really considered modding my 360 for was to try and reduce the damn noise from the DVD drive. I haven't had any problems with the PS3, so I've left it alone. :P
Raise the reputation required to close, raise the number of votes needed to close, allow "anti-close" votes to keep questions OPEN, do not let someone answer AND at the same time vote to close (or at least force the answer to be community wiki so they can't whore points by reducing answer competi...
@GraceNote Another busy day of wasting my life on Meta.
Finally got over a headache about 10 minutes ago; I went into work today, and they were painting; the fumes must have been stronger than I realized at the time.
I use the ccomet name on SU. I've asked a grand total of one question and only otherwise pop in there on the occasional link from Meta, Gaming, or Web Apps
that number doesn't even reflect a "question number", it's just the current count of active questions. If a question is deleted, that number goes down.
What's the normal protocol again for dealing with unregistered users who post an answer in response to a question they asked earlier but now become disassociated from they're current unregistered account?
Well, first of all these hacks arn't just from any 'ol random programmer. This one from quirksmode, for instance, is from a well respected source and, as far as I can tell, widely used (It's used here for the image upload dialog). Another example is this one created for the ajax upload script. Ig...
Implemented in January 2010, you can use @name syntax anywhere in your comment to reply to a specific user. This will notify that user in their recent replies.
There are a few rules to follow for it to work:
Notifications apply to the author, commenters, and editors of the question or answer ...

in the case of SO I think that they are smarter, more methodological, more prepared for the upgrade.
Thank you for your confidence in our abilities, but you've made fourthree mistakes!
Voting is the currency of our site. Each day, we get 30 votes to spend. It is important that users (myself included!) try and use up these votes each day. Without votes, we don't have reputation. Without reputation, the community cannot police itself. See the FAQ for information on the reput...
@rchern Should I post each my <del>complaints</del> bugs about the new design in a separate question? Because I suspect the list might get too long and I'll be spaming meta
When you use an answer link the answer in question is highlighted briefly when you visit the link. The highlighting fades to white for the current sites. For example, try this link: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/7931/the-official-faq-for-stack-overflow-server-fault-and-super-user/7935#7...
Hi guys,
The wait is over! As you can see the new design has been applied and nothingtoinstall.com is live.
I'd like to address a few issues.

There were a few suggestions from the Captcha thread. It seems most people like the robot theme. Due to copyright issues, I can't use t...
> Right, you zarkers, we need to turn this turd bucket around and add those pormwraggling oneboxie thingies for the Belgium Vimeo video which every guy in this unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the galaxy is using!
The Simple API is zarking easy to use - just extract out the video ID, then send a request to the correct URL, extract the thumbnail, and YOU HAVE ONEBOX!!!
The new design is great, but the font is really killing me. Here's why:
Uneven kerning and spacing
Have a look at this title. The space between n and e in uneven, r and n in kerning, a and c in spacing are all wrong! There are a lot of other examples, but a font like this just isn't conducive ...
I have an easy idea for a fix.
Disable the option to mark questions community wiki by the question author. (allow them to become CW naturally if thats what GxD wants, or allow moderators to)
Look at this list for example:
Last 100 questions that were wiki from get go.
I'm counting may 1/10...
Anyway, it does seem like there's a disproportionate amount of people to manage the community @YiJiang Hopefully it won't be too much of an issue this early on though, which is time for others to get to that level too.
I was initially drawn to Ubuntu, simply due to the fact that you could completely customize your computer to how you would like to use it.
I was wondering how everyone's desktops look, and what mods they use to get it to look the way it does.
I believe this leads you to be introduced a new myr...

Is it right for moderators to answer a question and locking other answers to the same question?
I think this act is immoral and a sign that the moderator should have their moderator status revoked.
Clarification: By locked I mean locked and not closed.
Example: Questions on meta.stackoverflow....
oooh, it checks if your copy of Linux is genuine™?
As of late, I've been doubting the identity of my copy of ubuntu and pretty much anything that doesn't have a friendly MultiCollider SuperDropdown™ genuine™ sticker on it
