@Bob well I've been connecting my surface pro to my desktop peripherals with a USB hub and a Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI cable. I have my headphones, mouse, keyboard and main desktop monitor in use with my surface pro
mainly because my desktop doesn't do Suspend to RAM due to the RAID card (I believe the latest generation ones do, but mine is older) and takes aaaages to boot up, whereas on weeknights I usually don't have a lot of time, so I just tap the button on my Surface Pro and - BAM! - I have a Windows computer
@JourneymanGeek no, it's sitting on my desk, but I'm typing on my keyboard like a catoiasjdopadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvdfoijweoppppppppppppppppppppp
@JourneymanGeek a badger badger? where's the mushroom and snake?
@Bob hmm is that what i was doing, killing korean invaders? It was all such a blur :-) homefront for the PC was well done, and fun to play, but not "open world" type
@allquixotic I think that is sweet having a whole Same OS on a tablet kind of item, so all the software, the tweaking, the layout and configuration is exacly the same. Doing winCE and Android, and symbian, i lost days and days re-learning.
@slhck or have a threshold to detect "minor" edits (just a tag change, or a tag change and minimal edits to the text like formatting only) and don't even make a question get bumped to the front page if it's been minorly edited
@slhck er, they show up in the review queue at the top, which is what I click... I don't look at the front page for minor edits to approve
algorithm: look at the raw markdown of the post; disregard tag changes; strip out all markdown formatting, newlines, etc (just for the purposes of determining whether it's minor, don't actually delete the formatting from the post); count the number of remaining characters that have been changed; if it's less than 5, it's a minor edit
@allquixotic Yeah, that could work. But then again… this whole tag thing is so majorly screwed up. I've been thinking about how to improve that for almost two years now.
minor edits would appear in the review queues as normal, but wouldn't get bumped on the front page
I think we should eliminate tags and instead do a full-text search on the body of all posts using an advanced search engine... something like Google Search Appliance would do the trick
I mean when you do a google search through forums, and find the most relevant results in the top 5 results, it's not like forums have to have a "tag" system to let google know what the important words of the question are
it seems like the tags are only present in SE because SE is too cheap to buy a Google Search Appliance or write something that'd be as good at doing full text search as GSA is
seriously, if the only point of tags is to help their search engine, it's not worth so many hours of moderator (diamond and otherwise) time to edit, review, approve, and do periodic tag cleanups all for that
how many people use SE's search anyway? most people who post a question, even fairly "dumb" users, have at least googled it first, and if there were already a question on the site, it'd probably be in the top results on google
besides, tags aren't necessarily the best indicator of what a post is about -- how many questions out there are just tagged windows-8 but are actually about Audacity or OpenOffice, etc?
if the search engine does do full text search, tags aren't necessary... if it doesn't do full text search, then SE is just being lazy, and needs to make it do full text search
@allquixotic tagging for the OS is important, especially if it has been left out of the main text, and I also use the Follow and Avoid features of the tag system, to try and avoid linux questions. (not that linux isnt good, just that I am not into it today)
and I can't tell you how many times, until I got really used to the site, I posted a comment like "please indicate your operating system" when they ONLY posted it in the tags
people should really just put all the pertinent details into the post body, and not try to be clever by tagging it instead
some tags aren't nearly specific enough, too, which gives users a false sense of providing information when in fact they are really not giving enough
like the linux tag -- it's practically meaningless unless your question is directly about the Linux Kernel, in which case 99% of the time it belongs on SO anyway
saying "I'm running Linux" and then proceeding to ask about a specific application on top of some unknown GNU/Linux distro / version does not provide nearly enough information to answer the question with any confidence

@allquixotic The question is unspecified, so I'd assume default, out-of-the-box behaviour unless stated otherwise (and as a way of confirming with the probable settings of a wider audience).
Also, I was totally unaware FF was even able to use the Windows proxy settings
In general, when you are receiving mysterious error messages, and especially in your case where you can't find any information by googling the file path in the error message, there are some lower level steps you can take to attempt to diagnose the problem.
Here is what I would do in your shoes, ...
@ThatBrazilianGuy I mean when you are reviewing edits to questions/answers in the review queue, you can edit an edit instead of just approving or rejecting it
@allquixotic it has been there for quite a while. I read some of the edits and see just a few little bugs that get missed, the edit is "ok" , it just needs a tweak.
@JohanLarsson why do disks always die in nas, do they get bounced around the room? used as steps to fix light bulbs? Jumped up and down on by angry girlfriends/wifes , or just because the people using them have kids ?

@JourneymanGeek ya. again, I have to say it's much better than those idiots who advertise jerseys and other crap
This came up on chat, and well, there's a few issues to be raised.
Folk who're editing tags tend to get adviced to edit a few tags at a time, and it kinda worked - we've having more people editing tags (yay!) in many cases at a sensible rate (double yay!), but we still end up getting the front p...
@Bob the good part is, PS has various ways and means to do things, so if you hate the borderline retarded bits, you can just ignore them (usually) and use the less horrid bits instead
after a while, my PS code starts to look a little bit like VB.NET, except having to go through a lot of machinations to prevent automatic array unrolling
@Bob the only thing that was really painful for me to do in PS was a GUI... even a simple GUI has lots of lines of code that are usually in your *.Designer.{cs,vb} files in Visual Studio in C#/VB.NET
@Bob "the network guys don't like it when we have binaries on our fileserver, and we like not to have to dig around and find source code, we just want it to be there as/with the program itself"

@allquixotic You know, they say a picture is worth a thousand words :P
@allquixotic probably most just can't be bothered reading that much :\
also, on ProcMon: I find that minimising other uses is often close to useless - far easier to just exclude programs until the list becomes reasonably sized
suddenly I care less about things like the fiscal cliff and Obamacare and the programming language of choice at work, and more about things like appreciating nature and other people
