Mario has been here, but not long enough. I know because half of the stars on the sidebar are black/silhouettes. If they were yellow it would mean he hasn't collected them yet.
None of the stars are shooting stars, but one of them is about a shooting.
See the way a joke works is you got a comedian over here and an audience over there and the comedian is talking about something and you got the setup and the delivery and - BOOM! That's the way a joke works.

@mootinator How would you validate a URL to check if it should run as a user script?
I bought a gigabit switch and was hoping that my cabling was good enough to see something out of it. Granted, I didn't expect much since I wasn't seeing more than 10 Mb out of my other switch. At $25, it was still a good purchase.
How many times have you typed this:
[meta](http://meta.stackexchange.com)
in a comment? Me, personally, I'm sick of it. Can we has some data.stackexchange.com-style "magic links" inn comments? (inn~iff)
I'd suggest the following be added (and would request others be suggested):

Hello, Apple-related stackoverflow.com/q/6957277/38108 recently migrated from Super User to Stack Overflow, pleases me, thank you. I guessed that Ask Different wouldn't be the best place for it, but I wasn't sure about the choice between SU and SO. To guide me in future, please, what would you guess/describe as the deciding factor(s) for migration in this case? TIA
Because the question's most likely to gain answers from programmers?
What are you asking us man? How to know ahead of time what the best site for a question is?
Just pick one, if people thing it belongs somewhere else, after you have ASKED the question then they will move it for you. That's the point of the system.
@jcolebrand thanks, I wasn't sure whether people might sometimes get upset about having to move things. Yes, I'd like to know ahead of time which site is best but if migrations are commonplace that's great :-) (I have seen very few migrations, which made me wary of posting in the 'wrong' place.)
@GrahamPerrin Nah, migrations are common enough. The more you use the networks, the more you'll figure out where to start your post at. Just give it your best effort and make sure you ask good questions.
This one might be borderline, ignoring my long question (could be better), there's a short answer … if the question was in SO it might get some good answers about how to use for example iotop …
… on the other hand someone in Ask Different might pipe up with "Graham, you simply need to pay closer attention to the simpler view presented by Activity Monitor".
@OctavianDamiean thank you. FAQs read. In chat we wondered whether it might be better in SO chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/1494854#1494854 … wherever the question lives I'm happy. Just wondered whether (to anyone here) the question looks like a definite for SO
Someone decided to start downvoting my answers due to them being too bulletin boardlike (not good grammar and capitalization)
Is there a way to report those users? And if so, what can i do about it?

Here is one example
I keep seeing new acronyms internet slang everyday on Stack Overflow.
Such as the following
YMMV
AFAIK
IMO
HTH

How could this be enforced? Problem is, acronyms and abbreviations are prevalent. Some to the extent where the short form is far more well-known than the expansion.
Just on Stack Overflow alone, you've got entire tags like sql and linq that are acronyms themselves, and I imagine far more program...
Another amazing question joins the hell of Great Questions Stack Exchange Was Just Not Ready To Love.
Who knows, perhaps one day...
One day we'll be ready to tell the world what happens when the person puts up his hand to wave to me has his hands touched a game controller, and how to avoid getting punched in the face in that situation.
We'll be able to transmit the values of sharing, even sharing of pizza, if that means not getting our face punched.
The values of hygiene, because you want to wash your game bits really carefully before you make a pizza out of them. And if the pizza we just shared sucks, we'll get punched in the face.
The values of craft, the craft of pizza, the craft of good pizza, lovingly hand-waved with a game controller, so that our guest will be amazed by our home robotics and will not, after all, punch us in the face.
Sharing. Craft. Hygiene. What values are we missing on!
Moderators truly are the cancer that is killing Stack Exchange.

I think I should give a white border to the do not panic text however, I don't think it's quite comforting enough.
Heh. My desktop uses blue for the power and activity lights.
I had to place tape over them, as they are very bright.
This amber/green thing is really annoying. I'm trying to troubleshoot the lack of improvement in network throughput since swapping in a gigabit switch.
However, I can't tell if the lights are all green (which would indicate full gigabit throughout) or if some are actually amber. They shouldn't all be green, since the switch in my router isn't gigabit.
At least, I don't think the router's switch is gigabit. goes to check

Is there a place on the network (diy?) to ask this question?
> Sara Hebert Hey guys, does anyone have advice about noisy dogs? Our newish neighbors have a few dogs and they bark pretty constantly right outside our bedroom window. Our neighbor does come out to correct them, but we're not getting any relief and it's really starting to effect our ability to function! We've been thinking about moving where we sleep out of our master bedroom into the guest bedroom, but really don't want to. Any ideas? 17 minutes ago · Like ·
@PopularDemand yes, I know. But the kernel of the question: "Is there something I can do to shut my neighbors dogs up at night?" is the motivating factor here. Also, I'm trying to find a breakthrough Q&A to get Sara onto the network ;)
What if they got some sort of constant dog whistle thingadongdong and put a few around the yard. It would drive the dogs mad eventually the owners would need to get rid of em. If done right, nobody would suspect a thing. :-D
