@TomWijsman Elections are the one time when it's totally appropriate to comment on the past behavior and speculate on the moderation abilities of other members. You have to expect this. As one of the top users on the site, if you hadn't gotten any feedback that would've been worrying - folks generally only keep silent if they don't care.
@IvoFlipse I mean, candidates should actually understand about Windows-8? For example, some candidates have more experience on windows than linux than others...
@Diogo Well the current mods have plenty of expertise with the relevant topics, so if we get more unix/apple mods on, the other mods could focus more on the windows questions
One cause of this (that I experience myself) is certain scripts that are executed on log on. You can see these with Autoruns.
As you can see, there is a group policy script referenced in my system configuration. Sadly, I connect to that domain through VPN which isn't active when I log on.
So,...
This is probably not the ideal setup, but this is what I've used:
Setup:
Place your project in your XAMPP directory, e.g. xampp\htdocs\<project>:
Make sure that Apache is running and accessible via Firefox:
Go to Run > Run Configurations... and create/edit a browser under Web Br...
@OliverSalzburg They are just trying to set up Aptana so they can quickly view the result in Firefox (on the XAMPP server). I'm not exactly sure what was happening for them, but I provided one way to set it up.
@IvoFlipse To be honest, I don't think there should be competition. As long as a moderator is doing their job. Those are all still people, some might have more time, some less, and I would have never blamed you, or other mods like Troggy, for not being able to spend as much time as they did in the beginning, for whatever reasons.
@OliverSalzburg Thanks. When I have time to kill, I take lots of screenshots. ;)
@OliverSalzburg I like Netbeans. It has the option to keep the project in one directory, and automatically push changes to another (e.g. the server). It's a lot cleaner, in my opinion. I couldn't find a similar option in Aptana.
@slhck I get that, but adding a moderator that knows he won't have the time to perform his duties the way he's doing them right now, means he's picking up a spot of someone who perhaps could
@OliverSalzburg Hmm.. I'll have to look into that. Thanks. I currently use Git on my server, so I just have the server pull the changes from my repo. :)
@slhck The main reason would be: once you become a mod, you don't need the other mods to double check you. So I'd prefer to elect the person who will perform the most work on his own

I have a funny problem. Normally when I have the screen rotated 180 on the laptop as I'm writing on it everything works just fine. But if I connect an external monitor that is oriented "normal", with the laptop at 180 rotated the pen and finger touch response is completely reversed. I go right, i...
@TomWijsman Is it true that a metal table could be a bad idea? I remember hearing otherwise, and I would think that if there is any static, it would ground in the table before deciding to jump any connections on computer components sitting on top of it. I could only see there being a problem if a large power source (like a wall outlet) somehow came in contact with the table. But if that happened, there are more pressing issues to worry about.
I mean, I remember upgrading my old Dell while sitting on top of my bed in my apartment at school. That freaked me out (and I was truly lucky nothing happened).
"Old" -> what was already on /review (big lists o' stuff). Tasks (Beta) -> the new system of tailored, one-question-at-a-time lists of things that need to be done.
True, I understand there's a focus on the actual problem built in, but (just started) feel like there could be a need to read its context. In any case, it's quite an improvement (no more scrolling!) so kudos to that.
Oh, there's even an history. Great! :O
@Shog9: What about "should be a comment on the question?" or do you want us to place something like "Comment from username: [paste post content]"?
@TomWijsman For now, dismiss it in some other fashion and then if it really needs to be a comment open the link up in another tab and flag it. Might add this directly at some point.
but yeah, do this only if it's just a useless answer but would make a solid gold comment. Being comments doesn't improve wrong (or link-only) answers, and turning useless answers into useless comments is just shuffling noise around.
@iglvzx I think that if a lot of your close votes actually get followed up on, you should get more votes. That way users who do 'good' can keep going, while those that do not get stopped in their tracks
You know, I never really used AR type stuff before (except the "find a place to eat" type apps on the phone). I got Pulzar on my PS Vita which uses the AR cards, and just to see how it looks, put the anchor card on my desk and held my Vita up to it, and I have to say, it's really good at what it does. :o No lag at all. Perspective is perfect.
I'm impressed that it can do that. This might be a really cool feature once more devs take advantage of it.

Though there is the obscure hardware post by Jeff. So am a bit doubting.
Yeah, I don't know much about using phone things on the PC, apart from Skype / TS / Ventrilo. Was thinking about an USB phone you could attach or something...
is there any website providing a free service which can handle baby information and baby important days and baby photos , video storages and documents ?
@IvoFlipse: I think it's allowable to some extent to show it there, but not on the question itself. But well yeah, as long as it doesn't get people to accuse each other because of voting for something...
Not sure what top line you are talking about, but haven't been near the close to vote section yet. I'm too addicted to the low quality, I've been trying to get through at least the month interval several times on the old one but the scrolling and expanding and all that became too tiresome there so never got it doen, glad that's fixed.
@TomWijsman "Your lack of helpful flags and meta participation concerns me. We have some blind users, why do you think they should vote for you? ಠ_ಠ"
@IvoFlipse Well I can't delete them if they're not at -1 already.. and in order to do that I have to open the post in another window, downvote, then VTD
@slhck Well, the system isn't supposed to give us more privileges (apart from seeing some history and such). Flagging non-answers is what Shog said he might consider, but there's only a small amount of occasions (I only done it once so far), others I just delete as Shog suggested. As for voting, yeah, it's a problem but I guess they left it out because it pulls away time from reviewing.
It's really boiled down to "review the core of the post as efficient as you can" and not all the crap around it.
If they want to do it right they'd need to track what we're clicking the link link for, then provide the most done actions on the page itself in the review dialog, but making sure it doesn't sacrifice the efficiency of it.
@soandos Depends on your reputation / privileges, I think. From a flag (low rep), towards a vote to delete (high rep) towards a straight delete (diamond).
The new review tool makes the process a bit quicker, though it might be nice to have the option to vote on the question/answer from the review screen as the old tool let us do.
Not sure, the system has changed. There's probably something about it on Meta.SO, or we could wait for the "new /review system" blog post, if any comes...
@soandos Deletion never had a way to specify the reason, what comes closest is that you could tell what's bad in a comment.
@slhck Might add that back at some point, but the intention is to motivate direct action (vs. "this looks sorta dodgy, throw it on the mod pile"). So if it shouldn't be deleted, either edit or just "looks good"; if it should be deleted, say that.
@slhck Right now? It just effects the priority within the queue for others. Assume that this will do more in the future, whether that's bumping into the mod queue, automatic deletion after x reviews, or some combination of all three.
@Shog9 Hmm.. so if all users only can recommend deletion, it'll take a mod to do the whole /review thing again, just to finally delete the posts? In the meantime, 20k users could have already deleted the post automatically if they had a button that actually deleted it rather than just "recommending"
@IvoFlipse That's effectively what prioritize in the queue means: if a mod or high-rep user steps in, the first posts they'll see will tend to be those with the most delete "recommendations" on them.
@Shog9 Will there be some kind of reflection in the far future? Like seeing what the final outcome was? (Pro: Learning from that. Con: Mocking on that)
@slhck Sure. Actually, that'll already happen if the post has a negative score, and you can expect it to get less restrictive as we observe how this is being used.
Want to be a bit careful with this at first, since it's really easy to just delete-click your way through the queue...
@Shog9 Alright then.. I just thought it'd make sense to maybe have a pro-forma delete button that'd automatically downvote and vote to delete on a post with 0-score
Yeah, I'm working on compiling relevant auto-comments for this purpose as well.
@slhck The downvote + vote-to-delete pattern is a bit of an accident; you really shouldn't have to do both (nothing wrong with it, but forcing it is kinda dumb)

@Shog9: I don't know about stastictics, updates or anything; but regarding above linked meta post, but are there a lot of just-link-only answers? Or is there already a filter for them in place?
@Shog9: 1) Are there statistics about how many answers that only contain a link? 2) Is there a filter / warning in place when people post a question / answer with only a link?
@Shog9, not to inturupt, but would it be possible to have a follow up queue for link only posts? If they do not get edited, they get deleted type of thing (or put in a different queue reserved for them after a month, but until then nothing happens)?
@OliverSalzburg Was checking now if she has updated her nomination, not yet. Looking into her network profile she's on a ton of sites, actually some reputation on SO but not much...

@iglvzx Don't like his weird voice so watched mainly for the video, and the it's even repetitive mostly. Showing the dancers again and again without them doing anything special (are they playing Just Dance?) also makes no sense. Maybe a funny thing here and there... They're usually much better than that.
Anyway, if you read back, there is a little history... I would be a hypocrite if I went up for election! Plus.. Don't really have the time :( ... When all my friends here have been elected mods, I'll nominate myself!
but, if you are a mod, you can't do the competitions (I think) so... hmm... hard choice!
