I never search out things to edit, I only edit things that I come upon during the course of my regular business that are in need.
Usually it's either stuff I come across in the morning when I'm looking at what was posted overnight, or stuff that's linked to in a post I'm participating in.
ah... It is a little confusing, since in the Stack Overflow logo it looks like one word.... it's only on the About page that you can see it's supposed to be 2. I've been writing it all in one word because of the logo.... until I looked at the about page after one of my posts got edited.
Is there a way to see what a website looks like without directing your browser there yourself? I was going to ask on web apps, but their Meta is kinda wishy-washy about whether [webapp-rec] questions are kosher.
@PeterAjtai There was no official style until very recently.
Yeah, I want to check out a clone report I came across, but at least one previous clone has been reported as having... questionable scripts, so I don't actually want to go there directlky.
Hm, everyone's gone. Oh well. squarepolygon.com for the more adventurous among you.
Just curl on get_file_contents it into a file or a textarea or something like that (in PHP).... looks like codepad disable curl, but if you can find an online one even easier.
There are a number of "illegal" clones popping up which use the cc-wiki data without following the attribution terms (these are linked at the bottom of every webpage, and included as a .txt file in every data dump we produce).
Here's a place to list all the illegal clones, since we didn't have o...
Is the script running Stack Overflow downloadable? Are there similar scripts available?
I would like to know how Stack Overflow was structured; its function and design are pretty straightforward. I would like to know about approaches to achieving the site's functions.
PS: Is www.squarepolygon.c...
It used to be brilliant. The beta of the new one leaves a lot to be desired for. And on a 10" screens uses way to much spaces, and no customization options.
Ie. I can't even change the damn background or even press Alt-F2.
I am stumped. I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 Beta 3 and for some reason I can't get Alt-F2 to do anything. Is this a known bug or am I just not doing the right thing?
> Just to explain: the run dialog called by Alt+F2 is a function of Gnome Panel, that is not running in Unity (it uses its own panel), so we'll have to wait for them to implement such functionality.
I would love to. Except I can't find any tools to do binding. Not on a default install. Which is why I am frustrated. I know you can install it yourself, but why not do it by default?
I am generally very understanding, especially since it's a beta.... But... Do NOT make it public when you have removed basic functionality. Then I may as well use Windows 7 Starter.
And I am pretty close to reloading Windows 7 on this netbook. At least it works.
After my laptop was reformatted(Win7) it could no longer connect to wireless. Do I need to setup anything?

I'm only mentioning because this bug is kind of a show stopper -- suddenly, you can't click on anything, including the "Shut down" button on the panel...
bbcode!! and marquee. and blink. and colours. and threads. and message comments. and chat reputation. and more creative mass-highlight solutions, since sitting on the @ key no longer works. Oh, and it'll all be ported to Silverlight 4.
Ok, look at these buttons:
As you can see they are very boring. They don't have any rounded corners. It's also very inconsistent; the badges are perfectly round but the home page buttons fail to do so. It's Stack Exchange 2.0 guys... you guys need rounded corners on your buttons to make it loo...

I love it when I close a question, suggest an alternative site, and then get told that gadgets will not cover a DVD player because it's not in their FAQ as a gadget. Yet the question is posted on SU.
I think Popular Demand put it best:

Not having to hit it as often is a feature; it's a measure of trust that you're not going to write a bot that uses your credentials to bypass the captcha check and spam the site
What's the etiquette on a question that was asked and then you realized the answer was really stupid and you shouldn't have bothered asking the question? Delete?
