@TomWijsman The easiest way to avoid a discussion is simply not participating in it. You probably only stand to lose, so you might as well not not take part
@IvoFlipse True, I'm not going into any of them. There's always a next year, or well, perhaps it's been enough and I'll accept they don't want me to contribute more than that.
@TomWijsman I wouldn't view it that way, just look at your own stats. You've got a ton of highly upvoted answers, lots of useful edits and you've flagged and closed quite a bit. That wouldn't have happened if everyone thought your contributions were bad
@HackToHell Exaggeration (!= pointing out) of certain matters is what is bad, it's why I edit the hell out of my comments to make sure they don't start a discussion / negative response / ...
@IvoFlipse True, pursuing leadership is one of my kicks, but there's too much competition other valuable persons in a large community; it's a valuable lesson towards the business world, though.
@IvoFlipse I handle comments too personally, they feel like a need to explanation or covering why I don't think that way. Exactly those two things happen if I don't want them to be that way. It's only when the comment is there that you get to see what that comment is, I'm trying to be more cautions / preventive wrt to them though. It's harder than it seems, what I really need is a "Are you sure?" next to the button...
It's quite simple actually, you put the music you like in a playlist in spotify and then turn it into a playlist in grooveshark and then you download it using some ripper ta-da ;)

@HaydnWVN: I hate it when games do that, here's an update: long wall of text
Which makes me think about those EULA updates like... Okay, great, you've just changed what I accepted earlier. Can't you just tell me the difference?
Often, they can't be copy pasted either, which makes it impossible to do a diff.
Granted, it could be done on the website as well, but that's not the text I'm clicking "accept" under, there isn't even a "save" button either.
Glad there are all those laws and such that prevent from a company stating absurd things.
You have to know, there are things in some recent EULA's that I have read that contradict with the EU laws. Like being able to sell a game to a friend...
I've recently acquired a set of monitor arms that allow for free rotation of my monitors. I'd like to be able to quickly switch from one orientation to another on the fly, without having to go through the trouble of accessing the screen rotation features of the operating system.
How do I set up ...
can someone help me fix my theme on linux mint? It for some reason reverted to soemthing ugly :S it looks all old when I open nautilus :L but, when I do sudo nautilus, it looks new and shiny again!
@Ell Might help to also include like … whatever you did before it went bad. Any software you installed? Any commands you executed (check with history)?
@Ell If you do resolve the issue by yourself, you can always ask AND answer your own question on Super User. Your post could help someone else out one day. (Plus, Google likes to put Stack Exchange pages at the top of search results.)
@Sathya There's no Windows Explorer integration for SmartGit, but SmartGit was extremely easy to set up with my GitHub account and its GUI and visual diff are superb!
@Sathya I really like TortoiseHg's Workbench for Mercurial repos. SmartGit reminds me of it. Apparently it can do Mercurial, too. So, I may have found my new client.
@KronoS lol. I wonder if digits in real names would ever be common.
@slhck well look at the blog for example, a lot of us were very active on it last year, then it died out. As did chat participation and other things I would notice (meta posts). So I just want to know that whoever gets elected will have the time to be around the coming year
@IvoFlipse Ah, I see. Well the blog is a separate problem, I'd say. It just lacks organization or one person who's running it. But for the rest, I agree. Availability is an important factor.
@IvoFlipse That is a problem... At my work I don't need to do travels (I travel only for leisure :D), but even on travels I try to access SU and see what's happening...
I just got the weirdest spam email: "I'm <NAME REMOVED> And I would like to order some Traffic Cone, 36”H with 4” & 6” Reflectors.Could you please give me the price for the supply? Also what types of credit card do you accept as payment..? Thank you and reply ASAP.."
@slhck the blog was running fine, when I was cracking my whip :P Honestly @IvoFlipse has got a point... I was reluctant to nominate myself due to me wondering if I'd have enough time.
@DanielBeck Yes, and wanted it to drag on into the primaries. But decides the effort into it, my nomination was mostly received negative; I don't want to go through with such nomination as hoping isn't the right way to go about things. I won't nominate again in the future unless people would want me to, I'll just contribute in other ways and give up on this one. It's been enough...
