Whenever I press the down arrow when I am writing a comment this automatically posts the comment. This is very annoying behaviour as I normally navigate the comment to correct the (many) typos I make while writing the comment. As soon as I hit down it posts, meaning I have to edit the comment if ...

Can anyone help me

?

Is any one one?

RPi Awesomeness

@Andrew What's your problem?

Andrew

Well it not Ubuntu realted

It wikipedia realted.

I want to update the layout of the page, and I don't where in what order in the chart

RPi Awesomeness

@Andrew Ah. Then this isn't the site to ask that on. You might want to try that out on Stack Overflow (stackoverflow.com)

Andrew

DO I put (Country, X, Notes, Region) or (Region, Country, X, Notes)

RPi Awesomeness

1:07 AM

It's more programming oriented. Ask Ubuntu is for only Ubuntu-related questions.

Andrew

@RPiAwesomeness It is a basic question but... I am not good with ozeation

RPi Awesomeness

@Andrew Try it out on stackoverflow.com

Andrew

ok

RPi Awesomeness

It's within the same network as Ask Ubuntu, so you can sign on there the same way you did here, you just have to confirm the account. Best of LucK!

Hey @Mateo!

hbdgaf

@jrg the mugs are about 2 bucks. the shipping is the killer.

RPi Awesomeness

1:11 AM

@hbdgaf Ubuntu mugs?

hbdgaf

i can just send you a couple of mugs when they go markdown as long as you cover the shipping

@RPiAwesomeness no. penguin mugs.

RPi Awesomeness

Oh. :D

Though Canonical really needs to work on making it easier for users in the US to buy the products. The shipping seriously adds 2/3 of the cost again. It's outrageous. $16.00 item comes out to be like $25 because of shipping.

hbdgaf

i don't need an ubuntu mug or anything. i sort of like the messenger bag, but i'll buy a pelican backpack first...which makes probability of me buying the bag close to nil.

RPi Awesomeness

@hbdgaf I know, I was just commenting.

hbdgaf

and it was a fair statement.

this backpack has awesomesauce written all over it though: solidsignal.com/…

RPi Awesomeness

1:22 AM

No kidding. Pretty sweet!

hbdgaf

it's beast mode in backpack form. i'll get one if i win the lottery or make a killer app

RPi Awesomeness

Lol :D Megaman reference.

hbdgaf

altered beast reference

i like that it ultimately protects a laptop, but also has a skid-plate for a tablet

RPi Awesomeness

Oh. :P

hbdgaf

Andrew

1:30 AM

Can anyone give me some advice?

What makes more sense..

hbdgaf

anyone can give advice. whether not it is good advice is suspect...

Andrew

1. Country, Region, X, Notes 2,.Country, X, Notes, Region 3. Country, X, Region, Notes 4 Other

What one make more sense?

Is anyone on?

hbdgaf

3. they become more descriptive left to right. pail, metal, red is more useful than red metal pail even though english says otherwise.

RPi Awesomeness

@Andrew any luck on Stack Overflow?

Andrew

NO

RPi Awesomeness

1:35 AM

That's always annoying..

Andrew

RPi what one make the more sence to you? 1, 2, 3, 4

Right

hbdgaf

i think @Andrew has me on ignore...

Andrew

@hbdgaf No

hbdgaf

kk. so you see what i mean. english is one of few languages that is backwards that way.

Andrew

@hbdgaf I didn't knew that I can do that. X is smoking age / Purchase age, So 1 ?

hbdgaf

1:38 AM

i have no idea what you're talking about

i wasn't a smoker until after 18 - local smoking age. so yes, 1 for me

Andrew

@hbdgaf I need Advice on layouting a chart. what one make the most since, I am having trobles knowing were to put Region ex like Asia, Europe, Oceaia

RPi Awesomeness

I really have no clue what you want. Not to be taken personally, but this sort of question doesn't really fit in Ask Ubuntu. This is a Ubuntu Only site, so I don't think you are going to get a whole lot of help here.

hbdgaf

that's fair @RPiAwesomeness - i was just making a statement about logic and specificity. graphing is not my thing.

Andrew

@RPiAwesomeness I am just asking for advice that it. I know this is Ubuntu Only but I know this community and only this community been here over mouths like a year or longer.

hbdgaf

it's not like he asked how to generate a dependency diagram with graphviz on mint or something. just saying...

RPi Awesomeness

1:44 AM

@hbdgaf good point. As for @Andrew I'm really not sure.

Hmm..What to do with this question? askubuntu.com/questions/393285/what-do-i-do-in-ubuntu

Andrew

@RPiAwesomeness What is wrong with asking for advice contributing to wikipedia (It is open score,)

RPi Awesomeness

@Andrew Nothing, I just don't really know how to answer.

Andrew

@RPiAwesomeness I have no idea

@RPiAwesomeness do we just remove it as off-topic or sent am a PM or comment on it with links, or answer it.

RPi Awesomeness

My thoughts exactly. @hbdgaf Any ideas?

hbdgaf

/me stops feeding trolls. tried to be generally helpful... and move it along. that isn't working. best place to ask this question: stats.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/data-visualization

Andrew

1:48 AM

@RPiAwesomeness It sounds like a noob

RPi Awesomeness

@Andrew Yes, though it really isn't in place here. Maybe to broad.

Andrew

@RPiAwesomeness Comments on it with links, and leave it up to like Seth, or Oil, One of the M.

RPi Awesomeness

Yeah. Flagged it as too opinion-based

Andrew

@RPiAwesomeness Good Idea

RPi Awesomeness

@Andrew :D Beat me to the comment

hbdgaf

1:50 AM

close as too broad. i didn't make the hop to the question. i thought we were still talking about graph visualization and specificity

No

@NathanOsman Hey. Question on the Desktop Notification StackApp you made. I tried to install it via the .deb file provided for debian distros on your stackapp page, but nothing is popping up notifying me of anything :( I am running 13.10, is this an update thing?

Nathan Osman

@RPiAwesomeness: Which version did you install?

1.5.1?

RPi Awesomeness

@NathanOsman Yes. It is this one: launchpad.net/stackapplet/1.5.1/1.5.1/+download/…

Nathan Osman

Have you started it? It should show in the dash if you type in "stackapplet".

Avinash Raj

@NathanOsman Where is the actual code for Stack Applet? I can't seem to find the .py files or the javascript. I would really like to see your code, as it would be a good learning experience for me!

Lol. Found it :P

Nathan Osman

:)

RPi Awesomeness

Hoo...just stackapplet.py has 882 lines, not to mention the others. This is going to be fun!

Nathan Osman

4:13 AM

Some of that code is nearly four years old.

There are probably a few ways it could have been improved.

RPi Awesomeness

Well, if I find any I'll let you know! :D Doubt I will find any, being a noob at Python and all. :D

Is there any way to download all of the source other than me having to install and then use bzr or manually clicking each one?

@NathanOsman That was directed mainly at you, though not entirely

then you can use this to see the members superuser.com/a/94454/10165
