Community FAQ Proposed
Community FAQ questions are designed to ...
and @TomWij (and anyone else interested), would you like to help me sometime soon (not tonight, I've too much school work to do, but soon) to go through the existing community-faq-proposed questions, touch them up, and start talking about which ones to promote from proposed status?
although there's been discussion on meta that the SO team is working to implement a system by which anyone will be able to propose edits, but 2 or more users would have to approve the edits if the editor had <2000 rep
As originally requested here and described in Diff is Hard, Let's Go Shopping!:
[The team is] planning to open the floodgates and allow everybody to submit content edits on posts

regarding drugs, avoid indeed. I got my wisdom teeth out last year. Most people I know had general anesthesia for it, i.e. they were completely knocked out. I just had local anesthesia, and took a few ibuprofen. And I ended up recovering faster than the people who were totally knocked out, in large part because they felt crappy from the drugs.
Bummer about stuff being blocked at work. At least you can get on Super User :D
Note: I'm not sure if there's anything much that can be done, but I vaguely recall @Jeff mentioning about bringing up incorrect website classification(I can't find his quote now) on Meta, so I'm posting this anyway.

might be worth checking into. i know in windows 7 it'll tell you about drivers/programs which slow down hibernating and shutting down, but i don't think xp had that functionality
From what I've observed, it looks like Ignacio answers a lot of questions, and provides a lot of great content, but I don't recall seeing him doing much in the way of editing or closing. But then again, I don't see everything, so who knows
Some people may also just feel they don't have the time. That's why I hesitated at first, but then I realized I'd spend just as much time here either way, so might as well make my time count.
Haha. Yeah there was about a week there where my rep totally stagnated. Mostly because I didn't see any questions that interested me or I knew about, or else I was answering things CW
The past couple days I've had the opportunity to put some good answers finally though
> “With its rock-solid foundation and ground-breaking new features, Windows XP Professional won’t quit working, even when your workday is done.” — Microsoft
that's right, it won't shutdown ffs
> By now, the Roxio/Adeptec Easy CD / Direct CD software is well documented as being the major cause of this undesirable shutdown behavior. SOLUTION: Roxio has released new drivers (here) to solve this problem in both the Platinum and Basic editions of Easy CD Creator 5. As expected, at least half of the Win XP shutdown problems went away with the release of these patches.
I spent about an hour today helping a client uninstall all the garbage after HP made her do a full reimage of her computer from their recovery partition
I've got this annoying problem of my WiFi connection getting disconnected, and after that no wifi networks are detected :/ I have to disable & re-enable the adapter to make it detect the networks. argh
Had a user come in today with a laptop "acting funny". I ran malwarebytes... it found 800 different infections. I was horrified.
@IvoFlipse, the software is supplementary. The actual hardware drivers are separate, and Windows handles the connections fine. Their software is basically just an ugly shell on built-in functions
Yesterday had the longest job... bought a new nas for a client to transfer over existing data... thought they just had spreadsheets and stuff - turns out it was GB's and GBs of data... ended up installing remote access software and doing it over the next few days - estimated eta, 36 hours :S.... Next time, I will ask how much data in advance!!!
still - very good (knowledgeable) client, so they were very understanding about the situation!
@Sathya oh YEAH!!!! Im happy.... but so much work.... I know what I will be reading later!
(sorry to others, I just think I talk to @Sathya the most!... other than Ivo, but he isn't up for nomination/renomination... )
@Sathya I don't want to be a mod... for me, that feels when it goes from being fun to a job!... no disrespect to any mod here, I just like answering questions... I wrote about my feelings on a meta post somewhere...
I can't find it - it was when I got in to that sort-of-argument with Diago a while ago... I wrote it up... I don't really think it would be right for me to be a mod after that either
I posted a good answer to a crap question and he threatened to ban me... some people defended it and stuff... complicated... but then it started a meta thing, and I wrote there that I don't want to be a mod..
At no point does it say that I have to "moderate", I do not want to sound bad or unappreciative for the tools - I do flag and delete/close from time to time, but at no time did I ever say I want to be a moderator - I am happy to do this when it comes up, but I am here to help people and answer questions.
I don't mean any disrespect moderators, but if you don't want to do it either (or it is starting to annoy you), perhaps you shouldn't be moderators?... And more importantly, if it became required to moderate at over 3k, I would probably create a new account every time I reached 2,999!
(I cannot say enough, in the last two paragraphs, I do not mean to be unappreciative, disrespectful or offensive in any way. I love this site - but it is a bit hard to write the above without sounding like an a$$.)
(Remember, that was in the context of the Diago argument... I hardly talk to him, but I think things are ok now!)
@IvoFlipse Do I? :S I haven't been in the mod tools for so long... usually nothing is there, so I don't bother... but I always try to flag/move/close when I see obvious things...

your initial velocity+ whatever you will accelerate in a given time, which would be 9.8m/s*s but your being slowed down by a coefficient of drag divided by (the mass * the initial velocity)
sorry, but if there's no t in there, how would it ever iterate over it for a certain amount of time?
