On online boards I've seen some people claim that "stupider" is ungrammatical. I can't see any reason why it would be, and it seems like it's commonly used. Google Ngram Viewer And it's also in online dictionaries... http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/stupider http://www.thefreedictionar...

He's just not getting it, that's what's wrong.

Bob

@Wesley So, yea, does this look familiar to you?

BigHomie

@Bob Oh that's awesome

He must think we can't d/v that into oblivion as well

Bob

@BigHomie Well, I'm actually not sure if that's as OffTopic on SU.

Kevin Soviero

@Bob Oh for the love of God!

Before you start the downvote brigade, please consider if it's actually a valid question.

I'm too sleepy to think right now.

BigHomie

@Bob You're right, I've reversed mine for now

Wesley

@Bob WAT

@Bob I don't think it actually is, but...

Kevin Soviero

I use SU to ask the stupid questions I don't want to be judged for... Doesn't everyone?

@KevinSoviero I use SuperUser to ask questions about stupid software: superuser.com/users/6580/wesley?tab=questions

Bob

@BigHomie Hey, sometimes borderline overly-broad questions work if someone can actually be bothered coming up with a long answer.

Heck, that might've become a canonical question at some point.

Dennis Kaarsemaker

@voretaq7 don't you work in healthcare?

voretaq7

@DennisKaarsemaker Yes. I don't know why I bother securing our shit when everyone else is living in the 1970s "Nobody would ever mess with it" era of system design.

@KevinSoviero How is babby formed?

(the answer involves vacuum molding!)

@tombull89 Ask whats-her-face -- the former half-term governor of Alaska's unwed teenage mother of a daughter...

Bob

@voretaq7 The what now?

voretaq7

what subject was she named after? Was she "Biology Palin"?

Kevin Soviero

@voretaq7 As the Hank Green says, biology is about sex and not dying.

voretaq7

@Bob the former half-term governor of Alaska's unwed teenage mother of a daughter

Bob

@voretaq7 Ah. My brain failed to translate "unwed teenage mother of a daughter" to "daughter who was an unwed teenage mother". Not that the latter is any easier to read :S

voretaq7

4:16 PM

(they're both titles of endearment. Or perhaps of loathing and disrespect...)

@Bob yeah I tried to make it as grammatically complicated and awkward as I could :)

I also refuse to refer to Sarah Palin without using her proper title - "the former half-term governor of Alaska"

because seriously, what the hell else is she gonna do with her life?

tombull89

So HopelessNoobs SU Mod application has been well recieved...

Bob

@voretaq7 Infamy seems to be working out well.

Kevin Soviero

This morning my alarm when off like it usually does, and I accidentally hit dismiss w/o realizing it and went back to bed thinking I hit snooze. The only reason I didn't sleep through the morning is because my mother screamed at me that I was still in bed at 7am... There are some pros to living with your parents... For one, your never late for work.

Bob

@KevinSoviero That's what five dozen alarms spaced two minutes apart are for ;)

voretaq7

@Bob how's that pay?

tombull89

4:21 PM

I had a 6am alarm, and a 6:10am alarm (the latter set on an alarm clock on my bookshelf, so I have to get out of bed to turn it off)

ewwhite

Rebooted cable modem... Lost IP address.

Bob

@voretaq7 In RageCoin.

BigHomie

@Bob Okay, tell me if I left anything out, since you pulled my arm~

A: What is better? Changing Nameservers or A records?

The 'Nameserver' option you are referring to usually refers to either an authoritative (has all the answers or knows who does) DNS Server for that domain, or a Forwarding server. It is the IP address of the DNS Server. The DNS Server itself servers as the single* point of contact for resolving n...

I need to just get blackout-drunk, hide my alarm, and then I'll be on a scavenger hunt in the morning trying to find where that noise is coming from.

Wesley

@KevinSoviero I'll set my phone on alarm / vibrate and put it on the bathroom counter in the next room. The noise travels well, the vibration on the counter is awful and goes through the shared wall, and by the time I make it to the bathroom I usually figure "Eh, might as well shower while I'm here..."

tombull89

Also happened with me, when my phone vibrated itself off the bed.

vvvt vvvt vtt thunk ohshi-

Bob

@BigHomie I thought the question was "should I use a NS and have GoDaddy serve as the authoritative servers, or use an A/CNAME directly".

Wesley

@Bob That's how I took it. Which belied him not knowing aaaanything about DNS.

BigHomie

@Bob XY Problem, dude doesn't know jack about either

> And they are the best example for having domains and hosting on different providers.

WHY do they prefer ARecords + CName over Nameservers? And what should I prefer?
