I don't care about the rep, my uncle just asked about virtualisation and a lot of his questions are similar to that, so I wanted to point him there... but took me ages to track down... I think it is useful... if I edit / make it readable, can it be undeleted?
Changing the subject, In We Rule, a few times, I get messages of things failing, like that gown thing, it said "no party"... any idea why/what happened? ... and any chance you can build a wood/lumber camp (it is very cheap) as I need it for a quest!... If you want/need anything built, let me know.
@IvoFlipse ahh, no problem - I didn't realise! It is just very annoying because you can't order the same thing twice in a row (no open sign above the gown place now), so I have to restart that quest... unless I get more friends (you are the only one on my list!)
@IvoFlipse LOL... I thought I had quite a few basic places now.... I don't want to spend any real money or mojo (money - never, mojo - maybe when I have enough spare)... but anything that is just in game cash, let me know and I will happily build it
oh, and in restaurant story... if you haven't already... do all the valentines cupcakes... they will probably go soon and you won't be able to get the bonus for level 4 (loads of xp!)
I am going to go to the Apple shop (my skin will probably burn on entry!) and try to get it changed... the backlight really annoys me and I have stopped reading on it
@IvoFlipse I honestly don't like the arrogant attitude... that is really my only hate with Apple... If they want to charge more, fine - it looks really nice... but the whole Iphone error press conference just put the nail in the coffin for me... they just don't take responsibility when there is a problem.
oh, and my phone call to their support line.... I will shut up... won't go on!...
if the price is right, I can't wait for the Nokia phone... I have never purchased a Nokia smart phone, but they do some very basic phones that are around £5/next to nothing when purchased with £10 air time (pay as you go) and I have bought a few of them for my grandparents (they keep loosing them!)... I am always so impressed by Nokia sound/call quality. it is amazing compared to most other phones I have had
@IvoFlipse Well, I hardly ever go out to make use of a smart phone - I go on the train once/twice a month for about a hour (30 minutes to London from where I live), and usually the places I go have free wifi.... only other places I go are when I drive, so I wouldn't be able to use the phone anyway.
but the real reason on top is a good deal... My phone has cost me next to nothing... I kept renewing the contract on £10 a month for 200 minutes, 200 texts and £100 cash back, so it was £20 for a year!!!
@IvoFlipse LOL
@IvoFlipse How... I can't take my eyes off the road... I tweeted ONCE whilst in really bad traffic, but that was it!
If the Nokia Windows Phone costs a bit, I think for my next phone, I will just get a cheap Nokia one like I get my grandparents - it does the job as far as I am concerned... and possibly a 3g mifi type router for the Ipad..
right, done no work yet and got so much on my list... going to try and get through another chapter of my c# book, then need to get ready to go out... Chat to you later!

It's unbelievable that Super User is still being used as a dumping ground especially for questions not on-topic on Stack Overflow.

To be fair, we changed the close dialog so the default close reason is now simply OFF TOPIC -- when in doubt, 3k rep users are supposed to choose off topic, not randomly pick a site to migrate it to.

And meh, seems a rollback within seconds doesn't make an edit disappear. Wanted to make it a feature-request until I saw that Jeff has already answered...
saw that question earlier... it is very vague and badly written, I know it is controversial, but if people like that don't understand a topic, I like giving a general over view that I think will really help them / give a nudge in the right direction...
I was just wondering what others think, or if I should just stay away from questions like that in the future... (5+ hours unanswered/not closed or locked, I thought it would be ok)
I believe this is very awkward to answer as the question is not easy to understand, therefore I will start basic and go in to some definitions.

Options: Point them to a community-faq question, give a short solution that will help them find their answer, ask if they could be more specific and if not, close the question for "not a real question" because it is vague and flag it so the moderators can track the user for when he continues to do so. Dowvoting is also suggested but I'm trying to stay away from that because that makes me lose reputation when the system or moderators doesn't automatically suspend them...
@TomWij Helper vampire? :S not heard that expression... reading
Well, the topic itself should be community FAQ as it is general rather than a specific issue, just needs to be re-written better... but it would be SF rather than SU
Thanks - I just like answering, but don't want to pi$$ people off... so, would rather ask and get opinions from time to time! (Especially as this was the sort of thing that really annoyed Diago back in the day!)
Duplication is a Hard Problem, and not one that is going to go away by sheer force of will. We can all bloviate all we like about how bad the situation is but what's lacking is a comprehensive solution. So far all we have are scattered suggestions that attack tiny fragments of the problem and m...
This question is about the earlier questions that were wondering about closed questions, it's not a duplicate!
Now I'm one of them in my own question, thinking about it again it all seems clear to me now:
Close-minded people not even looking into the answers? Sigh, now I see why some users a...
