Mmm, I didn't think of that, maybe in this case we shoud have a review queue for these too, where we would be able to approve/reject the autocorrect? — xShirase2 hours ago
@bjb568 Then why am I using a 5 year old computer and a 6 year old computer with no issues? Btw, the 6 year old one is using Vista... it's fairly stable. Needs an upgrade, though.
@Braiam Eh, depends on what you're using it for. More software runs on Windows, because Linux isn't a major consumer OS. But for some things, Linux is way better.
I'm Jin, I work on the designs for the Stack Exchange sites as they graduate from the beta phase. Each site will have its own unique theme that will reflect its topic and culture. However, all sites will share common elements so they feel like they're part of the Stack Exchange family.
For our T...
Thank you very much for your feedback last time. I'm sorry it took a long time to put this together, and I'm happy to finally present to the community round 2 of the design concept for Travel SE.
The new design kept some elements from the previous version, but the overall identity is aimed towar...
Yes-how “Arkansas” is pronounced is dictated by law. You can now go back to never thinking about Arkansas in any way.

@cVplZ Perhaps there is a question in there for Bio SE or Skeptics. Perhaps the answer will be something about 'herd immunity' or about 'medical benefit'.
@InfiniteRecursion right column increase size when resolution is different than mine ==> maybe I have a fixed left column width? Nahhh.... let's post a "Very urgent" question.
@InfiniteRecursion wouldn't have even if it was still open and I knew the tool. Nothing there gives a clue, only wild guesses about resolution having something to do with the problem. While I see everyday people posting information requests as answers this isn't my style.
@InfiniteRecursion this also brings me to lose potential "answers" because I don't post if I am not sure of what the asker needs and what the solution could be.... but that is a different problem.
@InfiniteRecursion can't see how they could be compared. In the first case you are answering your question, in the second one you are avoiding an unclear question posted by someone else.
@SPArchaeologist If you see an unclear question, and you come up with a great answer (which will add value to the site), then instead of not writing the answer at all, you can write a nice good question to match it and post it with the answer
An unclear question should not stop one from posting an answer, if the question is bad, write your own question.
@InfiniteRecursion Unclear == cannot understand the question. If I cannot understand what the OP wants, I can't say I am answering to the question. Your example is actually the best one - you aren't answering the op, you are simply posting something different that you by coincidence found out while reading an unclear question.
Huh? I randomly got logged out - you must be logged in to talk (retry / cancel) and the banner "Welcome back Unihedron, you're being redirected" appeared... Weird.
I need help with one of the hardest things in CS: naming things! If a user were to bypass client-side limitations (e.g. you can't delete a user once that user has logged in) I still block it server-side. I was thinking of creating a TamperException to log it, but google gives me 4 results for TamperException and 5 for TamperingException. Is there a better word I should use?
@Vogel612'sShadow not very. I think if such a case occurred there's a higher chance that it's a programming mistake on our side instead of the user messing with things.
public class LetsBlameTheUserException : Exception
{
/*
* When this exception is thrown, it's more likely to be a bug in the UI allowing a user to do something that shouldn't be possible.
*/
Just realized that currently there are only two of us in the office using notebooks instead of actual workstations. And we are the two using SharePoint the most. On a machine with 8gb ram.... how logic!
Yes, I accidentally formatted the drive holding the operating system. The question originally was in caps with "edit code for me pls help" in caps, so I did that.
Hovering over "url" shows me the URL to the question and I can right-click to copy just fine, but upon clicking it opens a box instead of redirecting me to the url. How does that work? jQuery?
I received the following question as an audit:

Since it's a question about why a particular PHP feature wasn't installed, I flagged it as a professional server administration question.
Is this question appropriate for SO?
@vba4all not a mod, but you might find meta.stackexchange.com/questions/208052/… interesting. I think the post is fine on SO because it's probably a dev environment, although it could also be posted on SF because OS X servers are used in production.
@SPArchaeologist I think there are still a few separate chat servers in addition to the per-site filter. But I don't know the finer details of it. The whole thing has always confused me.
@Stijn @Unihedron he also auto replied. This must be the new SelfAnswer v2.0. Now you self edit, self ask for clarification and if you are lucky you may also manage to self flag as dupe
Looks like Firefox behaves like IE and Chrome now when typing a single word in the address bar. Instead of checking if a server with that name exists, it just goes to a search page. usability--
