@b_jonas @IronHeart Service message: due to a change in the way I will connect to stack, I probably will drop my old idea of a chat bot (the Derpy Bot account) and start using that account as my account for accessing Stack chat when I won't be able to use my main connection.

Q: Why do people downvote my answers on my own questions?

I asked .net c# 64 can't write to registry, and then I found the answer on my own, so I posted it. I got -2 on my question (though I showed them first one approach I tried to solve my solution, and then I updated my question to add another approach I tried). But the disaster is that I got -2 on...

I'm surprised I'm seeing a nonnegative vote on that.

Shadow Wizard

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M lol, true, but not enough... sometimes you must use your memory to recall relevant keywords, and sometimes you just need luck. :D

@inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M yeah, it's plain zero, 0/0 votes

inɒzɘmɒЯ.A.M

@ShadowWizard Maybe people are even tired of voting on those.

Q: Why can't you downvote your own answer?

Yesterday I answered a question and it got up-voted. I shortly realized that there was a problem in my code, so based on a meta QA I found this morning, I decided my best course would be to leave my previous answer and add a new, corrected one. I also thought this would be more appropriate for ...

@ShadowWizard 'FHRC'? What does that mean?

Meta.SO is weird.

It should be added to the Tour page and Help Center ;)

One can have 100+ of those, it's cheating :D

Shadow Wizard

@ᔕᖺᘎᕊ sure? I think Area 51 rep changes aren't being recorded so you need to exclude it

ᔕᖺᘎᕊ

@ShadowWizard does the '150' in the topbar tooltip include Area51??

Q: How can I run an application with a GUI as admin from a non-admin user session?

I defined 2 user accounts: one with admin privilege (with sudo right) => lets call it adminuser. a 2nd one without any privilege => lets call it normaluser and I configure the autologin on this 2nd user normaluser. So when I open a normaluser session and want to run an application with admin...

sudo gksu su

Yay logged in

Run startx from console :D
