I sent a detailed support request to Rosetta Stone, explaining my problem (with a record / playback feature) and what I tried. I got this back: "Please increase the volume in the computer and try to record."
I sent an annoyed email back, to which I got a response from someone actually technical, and helpful.
@Undo Hahaha. As I suspected, that was not the problem =)
Turns out, I had to set my headset microphone as the default (recording) sound device on my computer. Despite the fact that I could hear myself on the recording before, that fixed the problem.
@jadarnel27 rofl, I've done something similar before with earbuds. I had the earbuds connected to my laptop and couldn't figure out why the volume was so low.
Currently, when a moderator deletes a user all of the user's votes are removed along with the user himself. I was pretty surprised at this behaviour when I first heard about it, and I don't think it is a good idea to throw away all of the votes just because the user is deleted.
Votes are locked ...
If a user really joined the site and cast 3,000 votes in 6 months only to request account deletion, I would question the validity of those 3,000 votes.
I big part of that, I think, is that those questions are easy for anyone to understand (bikeshed), they've been around for a long time (so they've gathered votes), and they come up in a lot of Google searches.
@AlienArrays I don't know what you mean by "promiscuous" here.

What we do when someone just ask a question with out any more show that have try something to solve it ? - we do not vote for close - and downvote only ?
@LaszloPapp Well, I give some more help, if the user, already helps others too many time... but... must show that have try something, ok some times the one that make the question have blocked out on mine and do not even know where to start...
@Aristos What else could you add? You can't really say anything about the steps you've done ("I tried going to file -> export but there was no option 'split it over 2 sites" doesn't help either)
I haven't googled it, but I assume he has. If it is that hard to find through google, you'll need a direct response from someone with actual experience of that particular option then it would be a good way to provide the information to future browsers
@JeroenVannevel and @Aristos: assuming you're talking about my question: I have edited it. Also, there is no File->Export or anything like that. Just "Publish", which has no features for splitting a project. Neither do the project properties, nor the properties of individual project items have anything to say about which server they should deploy to. It's hard to discuss a negative.
Not sure if I love this or hate this about the community. If they want to keep some close reason, they will.
@JanDvorak: if they don't want that reason given, then they should also remove the very option that lets us set arbitrary close votes. imho, the removal of the minimal understanding option is a BAD decision. At most the actual text should've been modified into a more polite version of "don't get us to do your job for you". But that's a discussion for meta... not here. — Marc B4 mins ago
..Is it just me, or has there been a sudden increase in bad questions on SO? I don't remember seeing so many bad questions within such a short period of time.
Yea, I guess you're right. I understand that 'minimal understanding' was a problematic close reason, but they should have at-least kept the 'specific problem' reason. I don't feel that the 'unclear' close reason adequately covers certain questions; though I guess some of which may be on topic now.
I doubt anything will change for a while though. It seems like everything has already been discussed on meta.
dont have much time so I will just drop this here stackoverflow.com/q/24692/908879 in the Q, there is a list that apparently will grow indefinetely by users via edits
dont know what approach is better to stop further edits, I dont remember too much time off extack exchange sites sorry
While reviewing flags in the 10k tools, you sometimes see a "Delete Answer" or "Delete Question" button next to the "Flag or disagree..." button.
Normally if you click the button, you cast a delete vote. But if the post already has 3 votes and is deleted, you can still click the button, but it ...
Hmmm... someone needs to answer with a 'fix' (whatever magic that is) with unicorn notes (that is the right way to address paper currency, right?) on top of it.
Hello, What append to this off-topic close reason: "Questions asking for code must demonstrate a minimal understanding of the problem being solved. Include attempted solutions, why they didn't work, and the expected results. " ?

I just figured out how to get unlimited flags: create an account via the association bonus, flag 10 things, delete the account, then wash, rinse, and repeat.
I just noticed this on the mSO featured page:
The page which the tab links to, however, shows that there's a good dozen or so bountied questions. This seems to only happen on the featured tab itself.
Could we fix this?
Edit: I'm seeing this seemingly randomly on the home page as well.
Haha, I just caught myself making a "there / their" mistake for the second time in my life. It's not something you typically do as an ESL person, you make other kinds of mistakes.

Proposal: Meta Stackexchange
The SE team already has plans to split Meta StackOverflow and Meta Stack Exchange. So is it actually worth to create a proposal for a Meta SE site?
Does anyone have any ideas why this answer got 3 downvotes without any explanation? AFAICT, it is the correct answer for the question asked, but I may have overlooked something. stackoverflow.com/a/21067241/2682142
