vs this:

Q: Proposal: weighted votes that decrease in value over time

On Stack Overflow, we have what some might consider to be a problem. (Many will argue how much of a problem this is, but I'm fairly certain most will at least acknowledge its existence.) The problem is this: many of the older questions on Stack Overflow have answers that are either no longer app...

Now everybody go argue with me -------^

fossfreedom

wow - radical idea!

Nathan Osman

I know :)

fossfreedom

hmmm .... seems SO folk dont like radical ideas :/

Call me V

I've seen lower voted but newer answers appear over higher voted older answers at least once, so there might be some answer rank shuffling going on as is.

Nathan Osman

9:29 PM

The accepted answer is always displayed first unless the user has answered and accepted their own answer.

The remaining answers are sorted by score.

@fossfreedom SO folk don't like anything that didn't spawn out of their own individual head.

Here is a good example

Q: Unable to mount Windows (NTFS) filesystem due to hibernation

Whenever I boot Ubuntu, I get a message that it cannot mount my windows partition, and I can choose to either wait, skip or manually mount. When I try to enter my Windows partition through Nautilus I get a message saying that this partition is hibernated and that I need to enter the file system ...

nautilus windows mount ntfs hibernate

fossfreedom

@FEichinger ouch! safe saying that here ... dont say that there.

FEichinger

@fossfreedom I refuse to even go there, so there's that.

@mateo_salta WEIRD CSS IN CHAT ONEBOX AGAIN!

Still can't figure out why that randomly happens.

mateo_salta

That strange box?

FEichinger

9:31 PM

The box having an orange title and blue tags.

It's weird!

Okay, my oneboxes are all weird as well now.

Nathan's last one with that MSO post - normal.

Nathan Osman

What are you seeing?

FEichinger

mateo_salta

Anyways there were some lower voted over higher voted on that question

9:39 PM

@FEichinger that's weird.

what browser?

FEichinger

@jrg Yeh. And we had that a while back already once.

Running Firefox here.

jrg

normal in my firefox conf

mateo_salta

Not seeing the same @jrg

Is your CSS styling set to have previously visited black instead of orange and you've already visited the link?

Nathan Osman

Stab in the dark: have you installed any UserScripts?

Call me V

Or that.

you mean askubuntu.com/questions/290322/…

@NathanOsman None that affect global styles or anything within that scope.

Q: How to get and copy a too long output completely in terminal?

In terminal a command has a too long output. But when I scroll back I see it is truncated and only the last part is shown. In Gnome-Terminal and Konsole I have this problem. In xterm there's not such problem but I cannot copy the output in xterm. How can I get the complete output?

12.10 command-line output

FEichinger

@NathanOsman When you despise the very existence of UserScripts? Yes, you know.

Nathan Osman

9:45 PM

I once installed a UserScript that overrode one of JavaScript's string methods.

mateo_salta

Ok I give up

Nathan Osman

It took hours and hours of debugging to figure that one out.

@FEichinger Fair enough. I'll rule that one out then.

Sidenote: I hate that MeeGo pages are showing up in search results for Qt classes.

FEichinger

I also get the same result with webkit, so there's that.

Now I could also swap OS and see if that changes anything, but this is just getting even weirder.

jrg

9:58 PM

@NathanOsman i sent you a gtalk message whenever you get a moment.

Nathan Osman

Sure. I'll take a peek.

GTalk isn't that great at alerting me when others start a conversation.

jrg

no worries, it's not great for me either.

10:16 PM

this is incredibly hackish. skype audio from inside a Windows VM is much better than from Ubuntu. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD

Nathan Osman

@FEichinger: Congratulations: you found a bug.

@JorgeCastro are the vagrant images considered stable?

Jorge Castro

close

betaish

given the choice between them and the typical images in the wild, I'd choose the official ones

jrg

stable enough that in 2 months when my book is finished, I can rest assured that i won't have just screwed all my readers over?

(i'd like to use the precise images for my puppet book.)

(and maybe respin them with puppet pre-installed. i'm not sure.)

FEichinger

10:54 PM

@NathanOsman Well, at least someone reported it already, then. I'd usually just love to know some info on how to repro before reporting.

Q: What Linux Distro contains support for Killer E2200 Ethernet chip?

I've been very interested in switching over to a Linux based system lately. I've decided I'm going to dual boot, but my primary machine will be the Linux system. I found that Ubuntu 12.04 didn't have any support for this Ethernet chip, and I found some solutions but none worked. And it was awfull...
