Hi guys, question (I'm about to through my computer through the window) I had all my document selected on Word, I accidentally clicked on one of the styles, and the whole document is changed, but to my surprise, I can't undo that with a ctrl +z. I can't believe this can't be undone, does anybody have any ideas?
this is so strange, I'm trying it on some other document and it is undoing itself with undo
@Trufa I mean't, did you save after changing styles - that clears the undo (as far as I remember - Don't have word installed on the machine I am on at the moment to test)
(no preview)... oh well - I tweeted... against secrecy the way it is being "enforced", as far as I am concerned, whilst secret, no one had any 100% certain idea who it was, so why would it be illegal to tweet if I wasn't sure - I asked in a question way - is it xx!...
@paradroid I have already given up until I actually see proof - My blog has got hundreds of hits on that article, so must be many other people searching about it
As I said in my blog, I believe that not many people actually use this configuration... I7 2600k is a very high end cpu - most people who use it, only use it with a card for gaming... but, my customers don't want to game, just want a high end computer
Typically, I only sell within the M25 / Kent area as I give full support etc, but if you did want a machine or parts, let me know and I am happy to see what I can do
I thought the small scale system builders market was dead, as it is very hard to compete with OEM system suppliers and their support. Loads of smaller companies folded in the mid 2000s
Well, I want to upgrade my HTPC some time, and get a new workstation. But my priority is getting a new laptop at the moment, as I had mine stolen a couple of weeks ago.
I don't really need such a powerful desktop PC yet, as I don't do CAD work anymore.
@paradroid I wouldn't say that... I don't sell to the public as my own brand, I only do it to customers who I have under support contracts - why deal with HP/Dell or other partner programs and pay them £300 for support over 3 years... I take it myself and include it with the warranty - they pay me one price, get computers, support and guaranteed uptime etc... .I have my perks that I offer and companies choose me!
@paradroid Depends... I think I produce a superior product and charge based on that - in addition, I do bulk some components in bulk, but it is mainly down to the support I offer... I never aim to make a lot of profit on the machines
depending on the config, I sometimes do make a bit of money... but again, my whole company really is about support
Over at Super User account, I have Stack Exchange OpenID set as my primary OpenID. I can no longer login to chat using it - I get stuck at this screen

ahh. I have just had a weird issue for money with authentication, but not sure to report it as I can't easily repro it - just, everything works fine and if I send a picture, it asks me to log in... I can only get in by clearing cache/cookies and signing in from scratch
We're working on replacing our dependency on MyOpenID for new account creation. Basically, replacing the click here to sign up link on /users/login.

Open source... that's cool... I am trying to mess around at the moment with .net open auth but not having a lot of luck... I will have to give this a try
I got clippy up! I love it when it pops up unexpectedly!
Has anyone ever had the issue with a Mint 9 OS having the Shut Down and Restart options grayed out. I have to type "init 0" to shut it down properly...
I did that to save space.
Now I see
GRUB loading, please wait ...
ERROR 15
when booting.
What can I do ?
/boot still has files corresponding to 2.6.32-27 version of the Kernel. But I deleted all others that did not have that string in /boot.
Reminds me of the time our Financial Director restored some (b)ought ledger files to the root folder rather than the data folder, so he just deleted b*.* - oops, there went boot!
I don't see the point of making them free. It's such a small penalty, but it makes you less likely to throw them around, which keeps the atmosphere happier
@Mokubai Yeah, agreed.. but you can't really tell for some if it really solved the OPs problem, that's probably the main reason why there's no thing like that
I think the implementation is very well done.. I'm planning for some web app that also has a reputation-like system but it's really hard to come up with a design that works as good as it does here
if there was just a way to flag cross-site duplicates :P
Sigh - SU seems to be becoming a dumping ground for people who can't be bothered to do a bit of Googling, visit topic-based forums or even check the 'related' links that the site kindly provides.
I understand that the binary system of two symbols (traditionally represented as 1's and 0's) helps count all the possible numbers from 0 to 255, but where does the limitation of 8-bit for byte come from?
While 11111111 is the representation of 128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 why stop there, ...
I didn't know the answer and I find it very interesting as to why it is 8 and not 16 or something else.... the only part that really makes sense is it keeps doubling
@Linker3000 yeah
Well, for what it's worth, I vote to reopen - doubt it will change much!
@Linker3000 I could do that with half the questions on this site! - just saying, I think it is a very interesting question and I would like to see more like that - fundamentals of computing
not asking stupid questions like "why are all my power cables black" (mind you, I have a few beige/white), it is a very interesting computing question!
@BloodPhilia but again, you can say that about removing malware or hard drive repair... and I wrote two long wiki answers here that many people have now read - there is no reason we can't do that for other areas
@Linker3000 Where does it say that? I have asked a few question on SOthat are not specific problems - just things I would like to know.... and, answered many many things here which do not solve specific problems
Maybe it is time to change the FAQ! argh, as I said, I don't mind giving up this point at all... but I feel strongly that in a community like this, that is the sort of good question I want to see - don't mind it being phrased better and as community wiki then...
I am sure that a huge amount of questions are not specific problems and are just general questions like that.... it is a problem if I don't understand it! :P
@TomWijsman That makes any 'lack of understanding' valid on this site - a total free for all on anything about a computer - like: "Why were the original IBM PC's off-white"
@Linker3000 Don't worry on the crusade front! I like debating when it comes to things I see - I really don't mean to be a PITA... and as I said, I don't mind giving up, but at the same time, I do feel like that is the content I want to see on this site.
@Linker3000: It is "subjective and argumentative", it's unlikely that you will find someone who can give you an objective answer and thus results in very argumentative discussions.
We are having an "interesting" chat in the Super User Root Access chat room, (Start from about here)
I Personally think that Why are the 8 bits per byte is a very good question and represents the sort of content I want to see on Super User.
This same FAQ rule is on Stack Overflow and I am guess...
Why are there 8 bits per byte?
Why did such a valid and interesting question got closed?

> The key distinction to make here, in my mind, is that all questions are ultimately in service of the people answering them. That is the audience you need to satisfy if you want to have any hope of creating and sustaining a community of peers learning from each other. The minimum bar for a question is not “is this on-topic?”, but rather “is this somewhat interesting and on-topic?”.
Well, I voted to reopen.
As far as I am concerned, it should be closed under the FAQ, but I believe that the FAQ should be changed to allow for interesting questions like this.
I know binary and can do basic binary maths/operations fast - but this is one question that I have never thought of bu...

Go to file->Page Setup and choose the sheet tab. There is an option 'rows to repeat at top'.
Is it there any way to make firefox for mac default home page just transparent so one can see everything that is behind?
I have installed a few portable apps onto my network drive at work. Are they going to run noticeably slower than if I store the locally?
