Currently, when users are putting a custom flag on a post, there is a chance that this flag will be dismissed before a moderator could see it.
For example, if it was a close flag, and the question got closed, all flags about the question are getting removed. Including custom ones. This was repor...
@Bob And if... The problem is the names of the partitions? Before I install the new instance of win7 on the freespace, my original windows partition was named C:\.. But now, its name is D:\ and C:\ is just the partition "System reserved"... Originally, D:\ was the name of the Data partition...
Every time while changing directory I'm using this below command, and its working fine.

@unNaturhal The letters are rather arbitrary. From recovery, C:\ will be the bootloader's partition (if it can find one). If it's found a bootloader's partition, the OS partition is usually pushed to D:\
When you set the partition in bcdedit, it will display the letter that is currently assigned to the volume. The actual stored value is the volume GUID.
When I want to go back to upper level directory in Linux by typing cd .., I typo-ed cd //. To my great surprise, no errors are reported. What's more the prompt becomes username@hostname://$. ls indicates that I'm now at root directory.
Is this a bug or a feature of the shell? If a feature, is //...
@Bob the drive letters can 'move around' depending on the OS booted, i've got 2 Windows 7 installs on 1 of my machines on different drives, whichever I boot the C: drive is different (depending which OS is booted), then an old XP drive that only has a D:, E: and F: (no C:)

Title is pretty much self-explanatory. When I disconnect (take out) my laptop's battery for a few hours, then put it back in and turn my laptop on, I haven't lost any information. How is this possible?!? Is time of the essence here, or are there like "on-chip" power supplies that keep the HD supp...
Furthermore, a MD5 hash is an integer so if you put it hexadecimal then you get [0-9A-F] characters, so the first letter already makes it not a MD5 hash.
@Bob yes we e taking about that and I have no idea about it because I have not updated my FF version :]
@avirk I disagree that this is not a good reason to down vote. you should try to keep the answer updated, especially when pointed out by others. The downvote indicates that you should update the answer. — Sathya9 hours ago

How can I access the startup folder on Windows 7?
The GoToMyPC program pops up whenever I log in, and I do not use it that frequently.
Therefore I would like to remove it from the startup folder.
Yeah, it's a huge improvement that you can filter the stuff you know isn't worth fixing / unimportant / ... so you quickly get to see new events that you might actually care about.

Suppose I run cmd.exe and ping localhost. After that i ping localhost again but I click into the window and the ping stops until I press enter.
What happens exactly when I click into the window? Does it suspend the process or something else? I attached a screenshot to clarify this issue.

This is for cases when flagging and awaiting moderation doesn't send the right message and adequately protect a question's users. If a person runs onto a plane brandishing a weapon, it's prudent for passengers to handle the situation at their own expense in lieu of awaiting law enforcement to ke...
@AndrewBarber on Super User if I know that the answer is egregiously bad, then I do mark the flags as helpful. If I'm on the fence, I tend to leave it for few hours and defer it to the other mods. Once I realize that there's no action done, I'll decline the flag with the "Flags should not be used to point out technical inaccuracies" message — Sathya1 min ago
When I am flagging answers I read
This was posted as an answer, but it does not answer the question. It should possibly be an edit, a comment, another question, or deleted altogether.
This is very broad and does not say when an answer is eligible to (or should) be flagged.
Usually, this le...
@slhck Mostly, I want to say that if the guy can't edit a post or vote to delete it, in last resort he can flag a moderator, if he is convinced that it is harmful. Edited the answer
lol, new reviewing system is making my inbox messages receive a lot of ocurrences from the comments the system writte for me when voting to delete low quality answers... superuser.com/a/293672/79358
Everyone, please take a moment to think about the applicability of the default comment templates before posting them. Complaining about link-only answers that should include the essential parts of the answer here and provide the link for reference isn't useful when the link is to i.stack.imgur.com, or to a product web site. For the latter, it'd be much better if you took the time to link to this meta topic instead.
I think the problem occurs when people see that an answer that was posted a long time ago is being comented for low quality today, years after any activity on them answers....
another thing that I noticed... if we are voting to delete things, why leave a comment on it if it will be probably deleted anyway?
Chipping in to this discussion about not flagging blatantly wrong answers, what about answers that provide links that are now completely dead? Are those nuke-flag worthy? @Sathya @slhck
@diogo - if you flag for a broken link, try looking if you could replace the link with a working one, or if the link is not essential to the answer, just remove it. Then there's no need to flag, because we can't do anything else :)
@Mokubai Thanks. :) I like the production in that one. I tend to showcase it as an example of my work, even though it's not as trancey as most of my other stuff. :P
No doubt. :) I like it too. I do a lot of trance, so it's comfortable for me, but now and then I try to stretch myself a bit. The Machine was a real exercise for me. Totally different than most anything else I've ever done. Not sure if I'm fully satisfied with it but it was fun.
IIRC... something along the lines of: "run disk2vhd to get your vista into a vhd file then install winy7 onto your new machine then for fun install your vhd into vpc and have fun running vista in that!!!"
Tempted to get my ISP to upgrade me but it appears I'm out of touch with technology and missed this development. I'd known about FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) but missed FTTC + VDSL (Fibre to the Curb) as an alternative...
I'm pretty sure that FTTC + VDSL means they just built out fiber to your neighborhood but the connection from the curb to your house is regular old copper wire? It's slower than FTTP.
Exactly, or get a "power conditioner" which traps the fat electrons in little loops to make them work harder to loose weight while letting the thin electrons through. UPS'es work well too because they can just put the fat electrons in the batteries...
Yeah, but you've got to be careful because the fat electrons take up more space in batteries than the thin ones, and they find it harder to escape so they just sit there taking up space until eventually your battery can't hold a good charge.
nods. So, the longer I let the battery sit there, the electrons are just hanging out getting fatter and fatter. That makes the battery supply less and less over time... gotcha.
Can you pastebin me the contents of your [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics] key, as long as you have not been messing around with it, like I have been?
@DanielBeck Yeah, well, I need to sign out and in again before they are back to normal. I have been able to get rid of the thick window border padding and made the titlebars nice and thin, but I changed some other stuff I shouldn't have.
@slhck Could you tell me how? :P I have 4 files .part*.rar that I have to extract (they contain an .iso file).. I'm trying with xarchiver, but it gives me an error without tell me which kind of error ._.
So far as I know, SSDs have been very finnicky in terms of stability due to controller bugs. Though I think it's getting better, it was pretty bad, ya.
@Boris_yo I think it was in general (though there were also few manufacturers of the controllers, anyway). As @soandos said, I think these days there aren't many issues like in past years.
