@MarkSzymanski Quite often, I'm not certain enough about my proposed solution to turn it into a full answer, so I then turn it into a suggestion/comment. Don't see anything wrong with that.
One thing which immediately jumped out to me is this:
LastNameFather string,
LastNameMother string,
FatherName string,
MotherName string,
FatherContact string,
MotherContact string,
FatherPlaceOfWork string,
MotherPlaceOfWork string,

Does the system keep track of who approves edits? It's not visible in the topic, like e.g. for close votes. Seems like it could easily be abused if not.
@nhinkle I don't like Meta.SO. I look like a new user there with ~300 rep, just because I barely contribute to SO. It'd make more sense if they used Meta.SE for that, or created a new meta site for things like this.
@KronoS and @ChrisF - I don't know what the solution was. I was messing with so many things that didn't work, took a break, and when I returned it was workin...

yes providing they don't include the question (which somebody else may have written) and your question didn't get edited at all. i highly doubt you'd run into any issues, and the SO team probably likes the attention for SU, but again, just want to be careful
@DMA57361 My posts aren't usually edited by others. But even information gathered from comments could be slightly more interesting. As I said, I don't think the Macworld folks want to use the answers verbatim, so that might not be an issue. I'll get more information how this works though.

You just can't please some people ;) - see glenneroo's last comment
Well I've done a final update about quad buffering. It is annoying sometimes when you spend some time on an answer that you know is right and it gets virtually no up-votes. But such is life on Stack Exchange.
@ChrisF As original author I can license my content to whoever I want however I want, as I said previously. I grant SU a license to publish my content (duh) and re-license it as CC Attribution, I don't give them ownership of my material. This is what the SU legal rules are about, as well as the issues with other sites copying everything. But I can give my content to other myself, under the same license, or others.
Ownership of content on the site (if there were a rule of copyright transfer) would be an interesting problem anyway, as it is non-transferable in German (law governing me) or continental European law, but can be transferred to others in US (Stack law) and British law, afaik.
@ChrisF Sorry, just now got the notification.
Oh god I hope @TomWij gets his Copy Editor badge soon. The front page is useless in the meantime ;)
I've recently cleaned Chrome's local storage because I changed the encryption password for NotScripts. Today, when I start Chrome, I see – all of my extension settings are lost! Yeah, I could keep the extension- ones alive, but it was night.
Is there any reasons why extensions store their settin...
I agree -- these tags add nothing, and they are perilously close to meta-tags, which are forbidden. Ask yourself this:
Could a (valid) question have the single tag software?
Could a (valid) question have the single tag hardware?
I think the answer is clearly no in both cases.
So, I hav...
@TomWij For some reason, ?tab=interesting doesn't work as expected. Too few mac/osx/safari/... related topics? Because I sure don't have windows-7 in my interesting tags...
It's actually barely different from the regular front page.

computers has been obliterated as per DMA57361's answer, it clearly was a meta tag.
We still have computer and pc, I think computer can be obliterated but we need to pay special attention to the questions in pc as they are personal and thus that tag could be used in the same way server is used.....
@IvoFlipse ... if you dim your backlight to the minimum, and then go to ibooks, does your backlight flicker? mine does and it is annoying but not sure if they all do it... so wondering if I could get it swapped on warranty :S
@oKtosiTe: That's not what I meant, what I meant by comment-answers were things that were supposed to be comments, but the user didn't have enough rep to comment so they posted as an answer.
> Class A addresses contain 7 bits in the network portion giving 27 - 2 = 126 possible networks since all 1's and all 0's are not allowed. Consequently 24 bits remain for the host portion allowing a total of 224 - 2 = 16,777,214 hosts. 127.0.0.0/8 is reserved for loopback address purposes where just 127.0.0.1 is used normally.
> The address 255.255.255.255 is used as broadcast addresses and 0.0.0.0 as a default route address, meaning any network. The address 0.0.0.0 is sometimes used by hosts that have yet to receive an IP address e.g. a DHCP Client awaiting an address from the DHCP server.
If you assign that as your subnet mask, it is no longer a network but a standalone host which could not communicate on the interface where it has been assigned 255.255.255.255.
As you can not communicate, prominiscious mode will not work at all.
See the man page for dhcpd.conf, you can do this b...
@DMA57361: Thanks, it's annoying that IP addresses are ambiguous. >_<
clck ^^ and it;ll bring up the list of related questions
earlier I used to open a new tab -> Ask a question -> pass the question title in the text, and the related questions would bring it up. The script does the same
@KronoS can't wait :P exhausted 5 delete votes, all close votes 24 mod flags today :P
I own a quite out-of-date TomTom 720 go and here's the thought: why pay to upgrade when I can probably find freeware to install over it. I'm thinking like DD-WRT for GPS.
Any ideas?
@Moshe, wdym? WINE is not a virtual machine per se, you can't really run "a server" on it
If you're using WINE then you're on linux, and should just use linux's server abilities. If you want windows server components, you're going to have to install windows server, WINE can't do that
@TomWij, @IvoFlipse and others: I've been looking at some community-FAQ questions today, and think a few might be ready to promote. What do you guys think about these?
I had to reformat my machine because I had a virus. My machine did not come with a driver disk. How can I install drivers after having reinstalled windows?
Yesterday, I was cleaning up and dropped my Asus Eee 1005PE. The screen is cracked inside (i.e., cracks are visible only when on), and no longer works properly. I booted up with another monitor attached, and the computer itself is fine, but needs a new screen.
Best Buy wants at least $250 to ...
What are some good screenshot programs for Windows, preferably free? Obviously I know I can hit the Print Screen key and paste that into Paint and save it, but I'm looking for something that makes it simple. Bonus points if it can automatically upload to an image host.
True, but that's a good comprehensive answer. Splitting it into a bunch of separate answers would just result in 10 new answers with 0 score, which would never be seen
