Unless I'm supposed to remember that you had meant to order a different one or something, I see nothing wrong with it. Looks to me like it matches the specs for a Core i5 2500
I'm not really nervous. I figure, if the community decides to elect me, that's great, and I'm happy to serve them. If they don't, then whoever wins will surely be great moderators, and I'll still be happy to give them a hand while doing all the stuff I usually do
I feel like an automated query would be a bit dangerous, since there's the potential to accidentally delete something useful, but then again, if something hasn't been viewed in over a year and has no votes, no harm deleting it probably

I'll ponder additional queries. Seems like the one you've got works pretty well though
@IvoFlipse, dang. It would be nice to have a simple page which runs the detection query, but filters out the ones which have since been deleted or are already flagged, then lets you flag it from that page.
given that we have 66k questions, 6k are closed for whatever reason, that leaves 20% of 60k unanswered for some reason. I think 12k questions with an accepted answer is unacceptable. One part of those are CW (and perhaps should be closed), some are abandoned and the rest either have no real answer or still deserve some attention
@KronoS, I was only thinking it would be appropriate for a few CW questions where there's no accepted answer if there is one high-quality answer which makes sense to be accepted
I wouldn't propose doing that on any other questions
what if questions could be nominated as being old and abandoned but a good idea, then one question per week could have a bounty applied to it, either by a nice user or perhaps by the system if this became an automated or official thing. that would encourage people to give those questions a look, and possibly help get some of those old questions dealt with while encouraging user participation
also, if a question's asker isn't active but it's still a great question, no reason not to get it answered, especially if it might be material for community FAQ
@IvoFlipse, good idea. Perhaps we need a "Witch Hunt" room

I think it would be cool if a question would eventually open up to moderators to accept answers on the user's behalf, once a time period has passed. The asking user would get the rep score for the accept.

funny, we have all the nominees in this room for long stretches of time every day, it's just a couple of them who aren't and off course all the interested users
The 29th and 30th won't work for me... However on the 31st early I can... like 3 to 9am... then I start running into classes... I'm free after 6 however on the 31st...
If anyone can't make it, let me or someone who is going to make it to the Town Hall Chat know, and we'll specifically state that User XYZ couldn't make it (sleep or homework, or other obligations) so that the user doesn't look bad/negative...as per ChrisF's answer on MSU
The only danger with this is that it could look bad for a candidate if the timing meant they couldn't attend - if it was in the middle of their work day for example.
Just finished updating my website, went live with the changes 2 minutes ago! And now I need to go do microbio homework. @RebeccaChernoff, I suppose that will work, but I will only be able to stay at max for 1 hour, as I have class later that morning
btw guys, if you click on the vote numbers, you can see updated votes w/o refreshing the page
and @KronoS: I've been a member of the site for longer than you have, but don't have as much rep, which generally means that you know more than me in this area...
Is it at all possible to get the size of a remote file without downloading it? The file is over HTTP, not (S)FTP. I want to know this because I want to download something while connected with a limited 3G wireless plan and I don't want to use all my bandwidth in one pop. I have no access to the s...
@KronoS: Well, the first line included some extra names, because I see the Captcha robot every now and then for example, decided to remove it before the next phase when I had the time today because it makes it less serious. Reading through the nomination again I also found some things that might kind of sound wrong...
Example: "Given that I love correcting human errors" is now rewritten "Given that I love helping people by correcting human exceptions".
But well, given that it's at zero and that the top 10 are selected it can still go either way...
And there's still a lot of time left, given that only 1 hour of the 4 days has passed.
@KronoS, some users think you need either a certain amount of rep and amount of time on the site to really 'appreciate' or get to know how the community works
which has absolutely nothing to do with your actual contributions
@IvoFlipse: No, got twice the same person on /election so I decided to refresh a few times to see if it is random enough; seems to be a bad idea to do that right after some answering/editing on the site.
@IvoFlipse Exam in the morning, next exam is Friday.
