I think there's something screwy about that answer, but it has got 2 upvotes so perhaps thought I might have missed something with the latest version, which I haven't used yet.
I guess you are right. That answer definitely needs to be edited then. I'll leave a comment for now and maybe research later, if someone hasn't already edited it by that time...
I want to create spreadsheets to record the money I spend each year.
Each file is named as Cost-2012, Cost-2013,...etc.
Inside each file, there are in fact 12 sheets, which are named as 01, 02, ..., 12, recod the usage of money each month.
For each sheet, I want the top row look like 09-01, 09-0...
I'd like to see a way to be able to stack bounties. Say Joe shmo has a question out there and someone puts a bounty on it for 50 points. Well lets say I like Joe's question and I also want to know the answer. I would like to be able to add my 2 cents to the bounty.
The question that really spur...

I have found constantly that I am trying to talk to users yet I am constantly dragged down by the fact that we are spamming the living daylights out of comments. Why do we not have an ability to post on someone's profile or message them? While you would have to limit this to a certain reputation ...
@karan that is correct. Ubuntu over writes the mbr and installs grub. It then chainloads windows.wubi installs a fork of grub for dos and gets windows to chainload that. You usually need to reinstall the windows bootloader if you want to chainload Ubuntu
@JourneymanGeek Military service here is compulsory at age 18 for every male, but if you get sorted out of the process you became a reservist and, AFAIK, they call you only if there's a war. And my country is never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever going to war, so...
The world is weird. Humans create technology to improve their lives and then create meetings, office politics and ego wars to stop technology from, you know, actually gettig things done.
@JourneymanGeek Also, some people are so used to The Proccess (tm) and The Way Things Have Always Been Done (tm) that if you need something, you better sit and wait the bureaucracy; and if you need to change something, well...
This is a bit related to this topic on MSO.
In a recently suggested and approved edit a tag was added to the topic, but it only became applicable through the answer. The user didn't know the tag was relevant, but it turned out the tagged software was the cause of his troubles.
In this case, it ...
I'm referring to questions in the format of "What is...?", "What's the name of...?" or "Which application can...?" where only after the question has been answered you can tag it with the relevant tag, which is basically the answer for the question.
Look at this question, for example: Is there an...
You ddidn't need to do that, but it=s just silly, I mean I get to downvote one or two but 6... hmm.. or is it possible that an user got their account deleted and all the votes were removed?
@JourneymanGeek - there is two servers connecting to it... however I found the problem... some people don't learn that a few hundred thousand files in a single directory is a bad idea it seems.
@Tanner amusingly when i started here, they had the exact same issue on a windows box
this system was what they migrated to... me and one other dev kept bringing up the point that all the files are sitll in one directory and need sorting...
@HackToHell You know that the proprietary libspotify library which you can use for free after obtaining an API key gives you the unencrypted, raw PCM data, right?
The HTML5 draft specification introduced the video element for the purpose of playing videos or movies, partially replacing the object element. HTML5 video is intended by its creators to become the new standard way to show video on the web without plugins, but has been hampered by lack of agreement as to which video formats should be supported in web browsers.
History of element
The element was proposed by Opera Software in February 2007. Opera also released a preview build that was showcased the same day, and a manifesto that called for video to become a first-class citizen of the web...
they're probably using Android's media framework, which probably ships with a patent-licensed H.264 decoder on commercial devices (not developer phones, but retail phones and tablets)
> I opted to land this pref'd off because I'm still seeing some intermittent shtudown hangs in unit tests, and we can also get a shutdown hang if we close the MediaResource before metadata has finished loading. I think we can resolve this by switching to use the SourceReader asynchronously, I'll do that in another bug in the new year.
oh lawd
they seem to be quite heavily confused on just how WoW works
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. On my work network, there's a single-word address (let's call it foobar) that is responding to pings and HTTP requests, only from my machine. The address is not a TLD, just a generic, project-related acronym.
Said address shouldn't be responding: There's no foobar entry...
just so you know, the entire client-side of the domain name system is entirely arbitrary; by convention programs are supposed to go through the system's C library to resolve hostnames, but technically they could entirely bypass that mechanism if they wanted to, either by shipping their own C library (statically compiled or otherwise), or using a completely custom DNS lookup system that does or does not use the DNS protocol
assuming a standard Ubuntu install, you've got eglibc (which is a minor fork of GNU libc), and the default path of the file that tells gethostbyname() and other C library DNS resolution functions what DNS server to hit is /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 127.0.0.1 says "use the DNS protocol to ask 127.0.0.1 about DNS queries"
search redacted.mycompany.com says "when trying to resolve foo, if it doesn't resolve directly then add the string .redacted.mycompany.com on the end and try again; if that works, return that result"
If I run `service resolvconf stop` `resolvconf --wipe-runtime-directories` `service resolvconf start` then `foobar` stops resolving, but if I restart my machine it resolves again

I hate USB. Every single time I try to make any USB connection, the cable is always upside down.
I have to look at the cable, study it carefully, figure out what way to turn it, and gently push it in -- "oh god it's still upside down" -- flip it over again -- "wait, I just made it wrong, I had it right the first time!" -- flip it over again -- "WTF, this time it went in easy"
it doesn't help that on my original Razr Maxx which I was using just a couple of months ago, the socket is oriented one way relative to the touchscreen, while on my Razr Maxx HD, they flipped the port 180 degrees
@allquixotic, what's even more lovely is when your reaching around behind a tower because you don't want to move far or move it and try to plug a usb in
also unrelated, does anyone find it really stupid how Congress always introduces acts that sound like they're encouraging things rather than trying to address them?
Don't even get me started on government all, in canada, you can litteraly drop by souvenir shops near parliament and find walls of buttons with red X's and lines through the prime ministers face
Is it just me, or does www.java.com really want me to download and install stuff over plain HTTP rather than HTTPS? I cannot get it to give me a https link.
@HenningMakholm if you're so worried about MITMs that you can't download java over regular HTTP, you have bigger problems (namely, that someone is MITMing your connection)
also, chat.SE and all of SE is over regular HTTP, so I could be an evil guy sniffing your connection and inserting my own messages into chat
@allquixotic If they did that (and the checksums were offered over HTTPS, of course), I could live without HTTPS for download. Having no kind of integrity check at all worries me.
oh -- I dunno about Windows, but if you're hellbent on downloading a signed binary, just install Linux. The OpenJDK packages for Fedora, OpenSUSE, and Ubuntu are signed by the distribution's repository server, so all you have to do is obtain a trustworthy connection on which to download the public key and install it into the package manager's key ring; after that, if you download a tainted binary, it'll be 100% tamper-evident
well I am (kind of) a security guy, so technically I should be paranoid along with you and worry that the Java downloads are tainted (because we can't verify that they aren't), but I don't see any practical way to resolve this for Windows right now
one thing you could do is see if a third party is distributing Java or OpenJDK for Windows with a hash available over https
I'm dubious that anyone else might be distributing Oracle Java (legally), but OpenJDK for Windows is doable
Has anybody else noticed this, robocopy works fine if you attempt to copy a entire drive, to a folder, but if you attempt to copy for example J: to K: it just quits
No problem, figured I'd pick out few easy questions for people in chat, question ban from last question I posted so can't ask anything about robocopys ability to copy entire drives right now
@user88311 7/22 of your questions are closed or duplicate, and one of your non-closed questions has a negative score, so apparently people don't think that 31.8% of your questions are good (because they're duplicate or closed)... I'm not saying that's good or bad, but I doubt it's just because of your most recent question that you're q-banned
you've spent enough time in chat here that I'm sure myself, Tanner, and even probably a SU moderator could vouch that you make an honest effort and are not a troll or spammer
I don't think your questions are that bad to warrant a q-ban, even if nearly a third of them are off topic or duplicate... the other two thirds are fine
