I came across a site that doesn't work when I type in the address with the "www." prefix. The following is an example: if you click on this link, it won't take you to any site, but rather display an error message. By simply doing away with the "www." prefix, as in here, the site loads up just fin...
Ha, just broke the Coke machine at work. Put in a 5 RMB note (it accepts that amount) but it didn't seem to like it. However it couldn't spit the note back out for some reason, jammed, so it just kept trying over and over again. Eventually it gave up and kept beeping and the whole thing shut off, very odd.
Before it shut off I just imagined it trying over and over without stopping, then the motor overheating, causing a fire and me managing to burn down the whole office... all because of a small piece of paper
well yeah, it's early days :P I've flagged enough spammers in my time to know they start off asking lots of questions like that, even answer things - then at some point they slip in a link to whatever blarb they're spamming
on a large scale yeah, I think I fixed about 98% of broken images when I did it last summer. nowadays I just fix them when I find them, I don't actively seek them
if I had more time I would - ironic really when you look at my editing stats, must look like I have plenty of time. outside of work I probably have about 45 mins-60 mins free time very day after family/personal commitments. at work I am really busy but in short bursts with free time through the day, that's when I fit in bursts of editing
anyway, 3pm, I must dash home now - have to bike in the rain :( Beijing is crazy enough without adding water to the mix
@IvoFlipse : damn site is addicting, especially with the new "review tasks". I guess I'll just flag by from time to time and run away whenever I see tom
Apparently the "FBI DIRECTOR" wants to send me a text file :P
A 6kB file. Which returns a page Virus found, courtesy of Google. Just how does a plain text file contain malware? Unless it's an EICAR file or something...
@DanielBeck I'm a little worried about my impending 'arrest' 'carried out in the next 48hours', considering that email has been sitting in my spam inbox for a couple of weeks ;)
I've noticed that several answers that I've flagged as spam whose accounts have been deleted have been assigned to the Deposit account. What is the purpose of this account, and why is it needed?

And in some cases you have something more original and sophisticated (meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/46074/…), and this kind of "deposit" is helpful to detect links, imho
It starts getting funny once you know all their tricks.. like when they use four or five users and set up bait questions to harvest spam answers a few days later.
It basically means that your headphone cable is improperly shielded or the laser mouse is electrically noisy. Some people claim that ferrite beads might help with such interference, but it depends on the frequency. They're dirt cheap so its probably worth trying.
I'd note that this dosen't happ...
I was searching for "mouse ferrite beads" and I ran into a dog @JourneymanGeek
quack quixote is a moderator of SuperUser, and I realize that he's not been around quite a while. I checked his profile, and he was last seen on July 13th 2010 at 17:17. Does anyone (esp. the moderators) know what happened to him? Has he left Stack Exchange community? Will he be back someday?
It has been shown in other questions that due to the state of computer applications, multi-core processors suffer from diminishing returns. Is this still the case in today's world?
Do most new applications embrace multi-threading, and thus take advantage of having multiple cores? If not, do the ...
