One of my friends that's in college took a test today in his computer networking class. He said the first question started out "Question 1. Assume routing has been configured as in the previous question."

Syntax to point out questions that you think should be closed: [tag:cv-pls] (url)
It seems difficult to coordinate the voting on this; we seem to be needing a tool. (the Google doc is more o...
I would like to suggest that we add references to meta posts in the privilege wikis. Currently, the wikis are very lacking on the details on the appropriate way to use the tools/make use of the privilege (review tools, 10k tools, protect post, deletion, etc.).
I don't think that this is a new su...
I have posted the suggestion above. I would like to poll for the questions that should be added to the privilege wiki (I have some in mind, but probably not complete).
Should I [ask a new question], OR should I [post a self-answer as community for everyone to edit], before making an official edit to the privilege wiki?
Some of them are programming questions actually related to motherboards, but the tag is hugely unnecessary imo. Who in their right mind goes to Stack Overflow to search the motherboard tag? =D
It was something about SO/SE being for experts or not, and it had a fairly good upvoted answer by some moderator (I think) that basically said experts are too busy making money to give out advice for free on a Q&A site, so we try and target the next best thing - intelligent users that are fairly knowlable on the subject matter
After noticing a $10 Experts-Exchange (EE) fee on my credit card, I realized I've had an idle EE account for quite a few years. I sent them an email asking for instructions on how to close it, and mentioned that they were great, but that they couldn't compete with Stack Overflow (which is true; I...
Observations, suggestions and some questions after 4 days on Stack Overflow.
I've been hearing about Stack Overflow from more and more people, and it turns up more and more often in my Google searches. This weekend I decided to finally give it a try, see how it compared to e.g. the original expe...
The idea that you have all these experts waiting in the wings to do stuff is an illusion in my experience. There's really just a bunch of amateurs muddling along trying to do things together. The people that are truly experts are too busy to even help, right? And if the experts are too busy to help, what difference does it really make if there are experts at all. Because the whole point of this endeavor is helping other developers, and whether you're an expert or not, if you have no time to help, you're not really contributing to the solution.
@jcolebrand: No, nothing. Just that I want to know whether I should ask a new question to poll for a list of meta posts, or make a community wiki'ed answer to the existing question
