Horribad questions tend to have formatting problems and language problems. Edits, in particular suggested ones, tend to fix those. Which doesn't make the case for reopening.

user315433

So... If the editor has less than 3k, don't assume they fixed the core issue

user315433

And if they have that, they can vote to reopen

posting things on a public chat on the internet is the best way to keep a secret, not sms, not email, not phone call

@Bhargav, is this an answer converted to comment?

Sorry cannot add a new comment. This post link may help you. — Phani Kumar M 16 mins ago

Because the user have only 44 rep

@rene 1) I always followed a common theme, so it was easy finding out. 2) I haven't changed names since, since like cavemen times! 3) my name changes were better than changing "rene" to "rene"

and I spend some time on the page and never saw a 1 answer notification

4) . . .

@M.A.R. you get a star for noticing my name change ... ;)

The Best Resources for Learning Ruby

Alyssa Mazzina on August 23, 2017

There are countless programming languages, each with its own personality and quirks, benefits, and drawbacks. The same way a painter needs a variety of brushes, an archaeologist needs shovels and chisels of different shapes and sizes, a coder needs an arsenal of programming languages at their disposal.

Ruby is a unique language in that it’s both beginner-friendly and advanced in its capabilities. Ruby was actually designed to be fun—and to build games. It reads like English, which makes it accessible to brand-new coders, and it handles most of the complex details behind the scenes, making it comparatively simple to build something from scratch with fewer lines of code. …

I think the 4 sites paid SO to list their link

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

a typo occurred when changing pay to paid

Changes and guidelines for the Protected Question status

Josh Heyer on April 08, 2014

Protected status is an often-overlooked feature of Stack Exchange. It’s based loosely on Wikipedia’s semi-protection, and like that tool is meant to be a reaction to persistent abuse from anonymous or unproven participants: when a page attracts a lot of noise or vandalism from outside the community, Protecting it reduces the amount of clean-up needed later on.

Protected questions are not answerable by folks who haven’t earned at least 10 reputation from activity on the site where the question resides. This effectively means you need to have posted an answer somewhere else that’s attracted an up-vote or a question that’s earned two. …

So neat.

Bought it for $10 or so, and will sell it for at least $200 - easy money.

There are people doing millions from this business.

9:21 AM

@ShaWizDowArd yes. I read a news that someone bought a domain with the name of max chan (Mark's daughter) and then sold it to Mark later

user202362

someone stole my domain name (telkitty.com) and tries to sell it back to me for $350

@ShaWizDowArd I think one guy got pizza.com early and sold it for a ridiculous amount

what is #?

new currency?

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

@Telkitty cheap! But how did he steal it to begin with?

@i-- #1 = $1000000

user202362

I owned and paid for the domain for 10 years, first 8 under my name. Then the services provider for my domain decided to register under his name. A week ago, I received an email asking me whether I would be interested to buy it back for $350

@ShaWizDowArd did you get torrents of movies on the same day they have released?

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

Israel doesn't block sites or programs. (yet)

but Indian government do

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

@i-- I'm not looking for those, not on daily basis anyway

@i-- too bad... in Israel they started the process to ban porn, but that's about it for now.

11:43 AM

in India, if they blocked the site tamilrockers.com

on the very next day, they started to serve with tamilrockers.se

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

"ban" as in one would be required to send a special form to their ISP to allow access to porn sites. I assume very few people will actually do it.

and when the government block one domain, they will create a new domain and continue providing things

it includes tamilrockers cc nz la and so on

now .nz is the working one

@ShaWizDowArd use TOR

Sha Wiz Dow Ard

.se is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Sweden (Sverige).

Internetstiftelsen i Sverige is managed on the basis of its charter of foundation and its statutes.
