I asked my wife if she objected to me bidding on a Unimog on ebay a while back - she asked what one of those is and I explained "It's a Mercedes..." which she cut short with "I like Mercedes" or something similar

Didn't win it though - would be great for programming in!

@mmyers Will you post that as an answer so I can accept it? That is obviously the answer =)

@awoodland Haha, one of those was on eBay? That is ridiculous!

mmyers

@jadarnel27 I'd bid a dollar on it. No, make that a dollar and a half because it's big. Shipping is free, right?

Anybody know of a way to raise a background tab/window that doesn't involve opening a dialog box?

They no longer focus on the sites originally assigned to them. Now all their time is spent on pampering Gaming and asking off-topic questions all over the network to sustain their blog posts. — yoda 9 mins ago

Wow!

Must be a reference to this I guess?

Yayz!

Did you break the Data Explorer so hard that you couldn't even run queries for a while?

Tim Stone

Sort of...it's related to my earlier commit. :P

Q: Shortcut for copying posted code from Stack Overflow

I might just be lazy, but do you ever find it tiresome to select all the source code from a large post on SO to copy it? I would like a feature, possibly a Firefox extension but preferably a JavaScript script, for automatically copying source examples to the clipboard. It's no big deal for a smal...

Q: Why does (presumably) every site's FAQ have screenshots from the Great Outdoors beta site?

Every non-beta site's FAQ is styled to match the permanent look and feel of the site for which it was made. Why don't they have specialized screenshots as well?

feature-request site-faq

I know there's another question on that somewhere, but can't find it.

If anyone remembers what insane keywords the previous version used...

@Shog9 A Google search for "site:meta.stackoverflow.com meta-faq the great outdoors" doesn't turn up anything. I think the question might have been deleted

Shog9

oh well

@Shog9 I think it was heavily down voted and the OP deleted it, because I couldn't find it either.

If I recall, they were trying to make the case that the fact that the screenshots didn't match the site caused confusion...which I don't think many people bought.

I tried to search my history but Chrome's history search feature sucksss

I tried searching for "meta +faq +wrong" and it basically listed my entire Stack Exchange history, a majority of which didn't actually contain those words.

Tim Stone

Every page contains FAQ because it's in the footer

I dunno about wrong though :P

animuson

not every page contains wrong though

Does the + operator actually work in that search box?

Tim Stone

Iunno

I've never had much luck with it really
