Wtf is with large companies adopting this silly "your username here can't look like your email address username" policy? This is f***** annoying! Like duh, that's why it's my flipping username!
I've seen a post that reported that the count for the numbers of questions in the close vote queue for a particular tag went missing. I can't find it any more....
@ShadowWizard I just have one pair each. Formals, just because of company or some dresses or functions, I like sneakers and loafers more. They are just there because I like them, no particular purpose of them. Sports for outdoor activity.
Assuming internet access is allowed during the exam, I'm pretty sure you've been given access to quickly look up resources that can help you, not to have you post the exam questions and ask for help to solve it. The fact that the question should be solvable by you within 10 minutes seems to support that. It's similar to an open book exam: you still need to study for such exams and know the material, the book is for when you can't remember the details but know exactly what to look for so it doesn't take you a lot of time. — Stijn1 min ago
You can't. If the room is unused for a while, it will be auto-frozen or auto-deleted, depending on how much content it has. If you feel very strongly about having it deleted immediately, you have to ask a moderator to do it.
typed what they were thinking without thinking about it
perhaps they thought about it afterwards or read it back to themselves and then deleted for some reason... I can't see where it was in the thread but I imagine it doesn't add anything valuable to the reader, so there was no harm in removing it
don't have time just now, I think I might read that page later though, to see if I can figure out where such a comment might fit in with the flow
I downloaded the Stack Exchange Data Dump for space.stackexchange.com and astronomy.stackexchange.com. As listed here, the PostHistoryTypeId of the PostHistory.xml-Files should be "17" if a post was migrated. But none of the posts contains a "17", although for example this Question was migrated f...
just discovered I will have to trash a perfectly working sql server db to switch to an import of an old access db that doesn't even meet first normal form "because it is important that the structure remains the same - users are accustomed to it".
columns names follow the standard math notation prexif_randomNumber_sufix
@SPArchaeologist don't forget the 'business' that demanded this quick and temporary solution that would only be needed for a couple of weeks...that was 6-8 years ago...
Howdy folks, I could use a little help in cleaning some stuff up. It appears that almost every answer by this user is plagiarized from somewhere: stackoverflow.com/users/2805846/engineer?tab=answers . If you want some free flags, could you help identify the sources of their recent answers so that we can tag them and remove them? I've warned them about this, but I want to make sure I get all the instances of plagiarism here.
I find it interesting that when trying to post a new comment with the phrase "what have you tried" you receive a "this content is not allowed" error message, but when I flag a comment that contains "what have you tried" as obsolete or something it doesn't automatically get deleted like it used to..
@hichris123 If there's one thing I know how to do as a CEO, it's outsource. That, and I get rather angry going through all of these and need to walk away for a while.
How to do X, I have no idea how to start
Valid question, especially in areas like CSS.

Fine, as long as it's a common set of requirements so the community can benefit from it.

@BradLarson still try to relax on it. The one where that OP copied the article from the O'Reilly website even trying to keep the layout the same makes me smile... poor guy trying so hard...Whoahahaha...
So I have this list of tags that needs to be burninated / cleaned up. Since I'm not going to post a Meta question for each one, I'm wonder what I should do with them.
I think we can all agree, this sucks:
If you've been around a little while, you've probably encountered hundreds of answers like this in various forums, some of them even marked as "The Answer" by well-meaning1 forum admins looking to close a thread. We could try to enumerate the commonly-obse...
Yeah, link-only answers to other questions on the site are not really what that's referring to. That said the answer is technically not an answer since it couldn't possible be an answer today anyway, on account of the system blocking it.
@AnnaLear You go to review. Then click on Close Votes. Then it shows you questions with CVs. I don't get why you care what other people have done with it, you closevote it if it should be closed and leave-open it if it shouldn't.
@bjb568 You asked if your review was correct. You reviewed as "leave open". The question was up for review as "primarily opinion-based". So yes, your review was correct.
No the question was up for review in the Close Vote Queue. There are three actions, Leave Open if the post has no serious problems, Close if the post has serious problems, and Edit if the post has minor problems that can be improved. I'm asking if my action was correct, not whether the original CV was correct.
On one hand, it asks specifically if the question should be closed as primarily opinion-based. The button titles agree by saying "disagree with this close vote" and "agree with this close vote" (a pluralization bug).
On the other hand, it says in the bullet points to Leave Open if the question...
NOOOO Mac subpixel rendering is the beeest! Yeah, I could have communicated better I guess. (Is that a button to ban a mod? Shiny) — bjb5683 mins ago
HEATHEN!
(it may look really great on a retina display, donno. Looked awful 10 years ago the last time I used a Mac, and still looks awful in screenshots though, so...)
(then again, my favorite text font is still whatever Hercules used on their PC display adapter back in the '80s)
