The things you have been observing are all fine within this context. If an answer is not appropriate in achieving our goals, then, yes, it is fine to anonymously downvote it. Editing posts is also fine as just explained. Your last point about moderators upvoting each other... I can't really confirm that. I have a lot of answers with no upvotes. It would actually be nice if my colleagues would go around handing me some upvotes!!!

allquixotic

the main site is definitely not fair though, because the most expeditious means of providing a correct answer can sometimes be unfair

HackToHell

ya, the amount of upvotes you get is really unfair :P

@Pat Life is not fair ;p

Pat

@OliverSalzburg define your goals... can you?? of course it's not providing information...

@Pat The site is about providing the best possible answers to questions. That's pretty much it

HackToHell

currently one ahole is blocking the queue in scrap.tf

Pat

14:01

@OliverSalzburg do you have any doubt moderators massively upvote each other??????? you know how many times I have seen idiotic answers massively upvoted????

Oliver Salzburg

@Pat No, I don't!!!!!!!!

allquixotic

@Pat there are only a few moderators on the site; even if all of them always voted for eachother, that wouldn't be nearly enough upvotes for it to be "massively" upvoted

so it must be that regular old users are upvoting eachother... oh noes

Pat

@OliverSalzburg then you are either, naive, blind or lying...

slhck

Plus that's something that would trigger the voting fraud script.

Oliver Salzburg

@Pat Or maybe ALL OF THE ABOVE OMG!!!

HackToHell

14:03

@Pat that's annoying ik

slhck

And we'd get a kick in the butt from the community team.

HackToHell

@Pat also if you upvote someone hard, bots detect it

Pat

@allquixotic please guys, I'm good with numbers... that's why the upvoting/downvoting is keep "secret"...

Oliver Salzburg

@Pat If you believe you're good with numbers, then you are either, naive, blind or lying...

tombull89

@Pat yeah, this has gone full retard now. No way in hell would the StackExchange team allow any users to cross-vote. Mods that did it would be removed from their position.

Pat

14:04

@OliverSalzburg neither....

HackToHell

@Pat if you have enough rep, you can see

Oliver Salzburg

@Pat No, "either"

allquixotic

yeah, this is no longer enjoyable for me... sick of the bad apples in Root Access... I'll come back later, hopefully after this silly guy has departed... ciao o/

HackToHell

@Pat fighting with someone is stupid :P

And you are not going to gain anything

why fight ?

peace FTW !

slhck

I think I'm leaving as well. Sounds like a good plan.

Oliver Salzburg

14:05

I think I might install this new PSU :)

jokerdino

Bad timing. I'm out too.

allquixotic

hey 'dino. bye 'dino. :)

jokerdino

:)

Pat

@OliverSalzburg go and try to face your mirror...

HackToHell

@Pat uhhmm stfu ?

jokerdino

14:07

I think this is better/worse than the Pringles smiley guy.

Oliver Salzburg

@Pat Dude, drop it. Nobody here is taking you actually seriously and it's not clear what you're even trying to achieve. Just keep writing your blog and maybe post it on Facebook or something. Just stay as far away from Stack Exchange as possible. It doesn't seem to be good for your mental health. You seem a bit too angry about all of this. Cheers

tombull89

@OliverSalzburg nerd rage is srs business. Internetz is srs business.

I haven't insulted you then I appreciate if you can do the same...
go back to your life face the mirror and look at your face...

@Pat go away .... chooo

tombull89

@jokerdino yeah I doubt it is.

jokerdino

Who invited all the diamonds?

allquixotic

14:11

hi kitty!

KitFox

@allquixotic Hi. Fox, actually.

allquixotic

@KitFox Oh! Sorry. ;_; I thought you were kin. We have a bit of a (fun, harmless) "rivalry" between cats and dogs in here. ;-)

tombull89

Ooh. Something got flagged.

RegDwighт

Hey. No borrowing our Kit.

KitFox

Now. Can we flag properly or not at all, please?

tombull89

14:12

Just ban him and be done with it.

allquixotic

sigh I don't know who flagged but we have a bit of a disgruntled user in here, so that's probably who did...

Oliver Salzburg

@tombull89 Way ahead of you

jokerdino

@allquixotic you wonder?

allquixotic

Seeing a chat flag and all this bad apple-ness in Root Access is very uncharacteristic of our community, so, on behalf of all of us, I apologize for the disturbance, helpful-mods-to-the-rescue. :-)

KitFox

@allquixotic Well, I'm neither. Although I'm a canid, it's really the best of both worlds to be a fox. Playful and cunning.

RegDwighт

14:13

You had me at "bad Apple".

Oliver Salzburg

Alright, I'm gonna go look at my face in the mirror now! And then I will install this new PSU

allquixotic

@KitFox Yeah, we have another fox in here (@Bob) who loves to point out that he's not a true dog. :P

tombull89

A two day ban? Aww, man. He's gonna be lovely when he comes back.

:D

jokerdino

@tombull89 2

RegDwighт

@OliverSalzburg is that what the cool kids call glasses today?

KitFox

14:14

@allquixotic What? Huh. I thought I was the only one.

He's got a pretty avatar.

jokerdino

btw, all ELU mods are closet Linux users.

allquixotic

@KitFox Hehehe. I mocked up a pic of a Mortal Kombat "FIGHT!" between the gravatars of myself, two other cats, and two dogs and @Bob's Fox. Bob was outraged to be on the "dog team". :D

At the time I didn't even realize that foxes were so distant from dogs o_O

KitFox

Fatal1ty!

Oliver Salzburg

@RegDwighт No, I just first need to find out what I'm seeing when looking into the mirror. It's complicated. I didn't understand it either. Someone who came by this here chat room earlier suggested that I should do it. I dunno. Weird stuff

KitFox

Foxes and dogs are as far apart as cats and um...

allquixotic

14:15

Giraffes?

Mushrooms?

jokerdino

Wolverine.

HackToHell

Did I get flagged ? :D

jokerdino

@HackToHell Do you want to?

HackToHell

@KitFox hey kitten :)

KitFox

@jokerdino We trapped some more users with our "we're totally vulnerable to chat raid" schtick.

allquixotic

OOoooookay, so, some of those pics are triggering my fight or flight reflexes o_O

RegDwighт

@jokerdino must say the one who merges dinos with jokers in his spare time. Pfft.

allquixotic

also, they are in the Uncanny Valley.

jokerdino

14:18

@RegDwighт Correction: That's what I do all the time.

Tom Wijsman

Ah, I missed all the fun...

RegDwighт

@jokerdino that's not a correction. That's merely clarification that all your time is spare.

allquixotic

@TomWijsman It was thrilling. Truly riveting.

HackToHell

iirc I got flagged by some troll some time ago ....

jokerdino

@RegDwighт Fine then.

HackToHell

14:19

and it was in the AU room

jokerdino

I think I can look it up.

Tom Wijsman

@Pat If you point to them as abusers then you probably should mention why you think it is abuse and why you think you are unfairly banned; but no, you resort to straight "I insult you, don't insult me" instead. I don't know where you come from and the conversation you brought here, but the way you stumble into this room isn't really the right approach to deal with it; I could call it abuse of this chat medium.

KitFox

Oh @Tom. You came and you gave without taking.

jokerdino

@HackToHell I checked. No

allquixotic

I was really impressed at the swift response of all the mods who came to the rescue when we had a flag though :D They must have been thinking, "WUT? Root Access? A flag?! This has to be the real thing! Prep the fire engine! Prep the ambulance! LET'S GO!"

HackToHell

14:20

But someone flagged me ..... hmmm .....

i think Sathya was there

jokerdino

Only flags from RA.

Everything from Mary Jane to the real stuff.

KitFox

@allquixotic No. It was "What? Two incorrectly flagged statements in a row? We must help this user help himself!"

allquixotic

Mathematics gets flags for posts like "I like ponies"; they get a lot of false positives.

jokerdino

Sounds like 'The bridge' to me.

allquixotic

In Comms Room, egregious violations of the tacit chat community code of conduct go unflagged because people are used to it.

HackToHell

game anyone ? indiegamehq.com/angels-wrath-starter-pack-giveaway

I'm off. Be good!

HackToHell

lol

allquixotic

Bye @KitFox. I'll remember your non-catness!

RegDwighт

Communism or no unism at all. Wimps and posers, leave the hall.

Tom Wijsman

@KitFox Something like two dogs fighting for a bone, then a fan of Meredith (a cat, not the person from Bones) comes along and steals it away.

KitFox

14:23

What!? I'm no wimp!

jokerdino

@KitFox Bye already?

HackToHell

@TomWijsman From Bones ?

lol poor @KitFox

KitFox

@jokerdino Yes. I have stuff! And I'm trying to be cool. And your color scheme is just awful.

allquixotic

Careful, we might be able to successfully "pull" (in the MMO sense) @KitFox back to Root Access and integrate her in the community as a regular. :D

Tom Wijsman

@HackToHell Oh my, no, clarified it slightly.

allquixotic

14:25

/me prepares the trap

jokerdino

@KitFox So was your typo. :/

KitFox

It's an elaborate ruse!

HackToHell

@TomWijsman oh that cat

allquixotic

The trick is, @ her mere moments after she leaves ;-)

KitFox

It's true. I can't resist the flattery.

HackToHell

14:25

her .. ?

allquixotic

More like "please stay because if you leave us alone with Oliver we'll all go insaaaaaaaaaahayhayhayaaaayne ;'(("

KitFox

Hmm. But perhaps I can outmaneuver you...

HackToHell

fox is male !

KitFox

lurks

jokerdino

@HackToHell Vixen then.

allquixotic

14:27

:O Reverse psychology? Staying/lurking instead of falling prey to the trap?

HackToHell

@jokerdino or nine-tails ;p

allquixotic

Wait... isn't that, like, springing the trap, watching as it flops around uselessly, then taking the cheese?

Tom Wijsman

@allquixotic It works, I think, can't tell until the ban is lifted.

allquixotic

You have Survival Mouse genes. This is bad.

HackToHell

@allquixotic But we haz cat genes !

allquixotic

14:28

@HackToHell YES! We are the "A" team! :D

Actually, your cat is disgruntled/disappointed and mine is wary. We don't espouse the best emotions. :D

Q: Best option for saving energy

Which is better option among sleep, hibernate and shutdown in terms of energy saving ? And which is better in terms of computer's life ?

energy

HackToHell

Well we covered the emotions that are always with everyone :P

allquixotic

Gee, thanks, EE. :-/

Boris_yo

@allquixotic Best advice is to shut down computer and never turn on again. This would ensure most of energy saved.

HackToHell

14:32

@Boris_yo lol

allquixotic

wait you have to unplug it from the wall too

the adapter may draw a tiny bit of power if it is plugged into the socket

Boris_yo

@HackToHell And use computer as table for drinking vodka.

@allquixotic Cut adapter in half! (after plugging it off)

@HackToHell I meant the chat.

allquixotic

@Boris_yo N4 doesn't support LTE 700 MHz band

HackToHell

@jokerdino ???

jokerdino

14:43

@HackToHell I said I am leaving the chat because you are asking what i am going to do. -.-

Boris_yo

@allquixotic I keep stumbling upon various no-name or weird-name Chinese smartphones. I assume most of them don't work with LTE 700 MHz band.

allquixotic

@Boris_yo yeah, they have to be specifically designed to work with it

Boris_yo

@allquixotic Then it must be very special band.

Okay, going AFK because I've consumed my deal of today's radiation by staring into laptop's screen.

@allquixotic what happened?

XD

quite a lot it seems

@studiohack: guy called pat got in trouble with SE for promoting his product too much. He apparently came in here (and we arn't the ones who banned him till 2014) and spouted a bunch of garbage

and apparently there were a lot of flags flying around

and mod invasions

srikanth chandrasekaran

Hi. I would like to know if it is possible to move the C partition(windows partition) in my hard disk to another part

Hennes

Sure.

Easiest way is:
1) Make a copy of it (ghost, clonezilla, acronis, whatever)
2) Delete the old C:
3) move partitions
4) Restore from 1)

HackToHell

long painstaking work, avoid it if possible

Hennes

15:47

A more interesting question is how windows will behave if its drive letters chance

studiohack

I would make an image backup first.

Hennes

Curious: How do you fix it it windows gets confused with drive letters?
I know how to do it in inucer. Just edit /etc/fstab or mount on disk ids.
But how do I do that with windows?

studiohack

@JourneymanGeek haha. I'm kinda sorry I missed it, but I'm a quiet mod, I prefer to work behind the scenes.

HackToHell

random is best at that

Journeyman Geek

lol

@studiohack: eheh. he got squeshed a few times

@Hennes: disk management, in theory

but your system drive should be fixed

studiohack

15:56

@JourneymanGeek lol

@JourneymanGeek and yes. system drives can be really problematic to move.

Tanner

<Kriger voice> Sure you can move partitions! But... don't you want Windows to work?</Kriger voice>

(not sure if anyone here watches Archer)

studiohack

not me

srikanth chandrasekaran

@Hennes ya I figured that out. But I actually intended to ask whether I can move it AND make the new cloned partition bootable. (note: The cloned partition is on the same hard disk)

allquixotic

@studiohack yes and yes

srikanth chandrasekaran

Now I want to move C drive to the initial unpartitioned space...

studiohack

@allquixotic what for? I thought you were supposed to be a brainless minion?

allquixotic

@studiohack brainless miniondrone got asked to make something "an EXE"

allquixotic

that... is... DAMN

I was hoping I could take a fbcdn or staticflickr url and have the server go request it and upload it to stack.imgur for me, but no :(

i wonder how many gigs we waste on imgur's servers with our stack images :D

it probably does duplicate image detection so it only stores one copy of it

HackToHell

@allquixotic prolly less than reddit

their entire collection is just 1 TB

Hennes

I have moved a system disk once before. Previously the drive letter the OS was installed in was named G: in windows. The C: drive was an empty 1MB partition.

It was fun watching programs burn and crash when they had hardcoded path rather then %system%

studiohack

@Hennes I'm just laughing and shaking my head.

Hennes

16:09

Most fun was win95 without a harddisk but with a C: partition/

Not sure how windows thought it worked.

Installed on a Quantum prodrive 52S (a 52MB SCSI drive) on a adaptec 1542FC hostadaptor. When I upgraded that ISA card to a NCR810 hostadaptor (PCI) it sort of worked. I had a working C: drive and windows booted. But no harddisks anywhere in device management

Happy ethernet day! 40 y.o.

Ben Richards

16:40

Apparently a partition can start in the middle of a disk and continue, wrapping around to the beginning, yet still be seen as a contiguous partition.

I ended up doing that once somehow, accidentally, in Windows XP. It was quite interesting.

Tom Wijsman

16:55

@HackToHell!

Did you... Did you see the new The Vault episode?!

HackToHell

nope ... did TS come ?

Tom Wijsman

Do you mean TAS? :P

HackToHell

TAS ? what's that

Tom Wijsman

Depends on what TS is, middle name helps to ensure validity.

HackToHell

oh, now I like Natalie Portman :P

Tom Wijsman

16:59

Over at The Bridge they'll tell you it's a tool assisted speedrun, but that's not what you're getting at, I think.

@HackToHell I already know that, I think.

So, uhm, did you see the new The Vault episode? Or are you still not following the show?

If you are looking for T(A)S in specific, you should see the New Girl final. :P

HackToHell

That TV series hasn't premiered here yet

Oliver Salzburg

17:34

The new PSU is awesome! Unexpectedly silent

studiohack

@OliverSalzburg oh, you made it back online! congrats ;)

Oliver Salzburg

Took a while :P I also tried to work on the CPU cooler/fan situation. The maker told me it was asymmetrically built and that could be the reason why it collides with my RAM

But I already had it installed the way that leaves the most space for the fan :\

Ben Richards

17:51

Anyone here recommend a fantastic, affordable 24" IPS computer monitor? I love my Dell 2007WFP that I brought to work, but it's only 20".

Oliver Salzburg

@BenRichards The one I bought when the hype started is still working fine. I love it

Ben Richards

16:10 aspect ratio, preferred, like this one.

@OliverSalzburg What is it? The same as me? It's fantastic. I have two. It's just small. I want a larger panel. :P It feels small next to my work-issued Acer 24" TN crappy display. :P

(My brother is using the other one. Donated it as a free monitor when he got his desktop.)

Oliver Salzburg

ebay.com/itm/…

This is the one, even the same seller

But it's 16:9

Ben Richards

Aha

I'd prefer 24" and 16:10

A high DPI also is preferred but not required.

Ack. I wonder how many people other than me easily confuse Kensington with Kingston

Oliver Salzburg

Oh, 24, I got a little mixed up there. Nevermind :)

Ben Richards

17:54

:)

No worries

A coworker has a 27". It's a bit large for me

Boris_yo

@OliverSalzburg What's the biggest computer screen one can find today?

Ben Richards

@Boris_yo A TV. Since we've converged on connectivity interfaces.

Boris_yo

@BenRichards Yeah I know it is possible to connect TVs to computers today but I was asking specifically about screens that are designed to be used with computers.

By the way, who of you people uses more than 1 monitor and how convenient do you find it?

Oliver Salzburg

@Boris_yo I use 3 and I would find it painful to move back to 2 or 1

Ben Richards

@Boris_yo I use more than one all the time (though currently I'm experimenting with a single display at work). I find it very convenient.

Studies have been done that suggest productivity will increase according to how many screens you have.

Boris_yo

18:04

@BenRichards What can I do in my case with laptop?

@BenRichards So I can have 10 screens and have 1000% boost in productivity?

Ben Richards

@Boris_yo Extend your desktop to your external display. Though some laptop docks these days have multiple external display connectors. A couple people here got new Thinkpads with those.

@Boris_yo Well, you'll have to get something from Matrox, then. :)

Boris_yo

@BenRichards No wonder those at stock exchange have dozens of monitors...

Matrox Avio F125 High Performance Dual Video KVM Extenders Featuring USB 2.0 Support

It's gonna be cumbersome finding docking station for my laptop, unless it is something universal.

Ben Richards

Just make a video wall.

amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-U2412M-LED-Monitor/dp/B005JN9310/…

Good?

Boris_yo

@BenRichards How about integrating 3 more eyes into my brain? Or better becoming spider-man?

Ben Richards

@Boris_yo Can't help you there.

Boris_yo

18:16

@BenRichards Mind-blowing 5 star reviews!

@BenRichards So you don't know where I can find mutated spider?

Ben Richards

@Boris_yo Chernobyl.

Boris_yo

@BenRichards Hehe I knew you would say it.

Ben Richards

Nice discount. I'm going for it.

Boris_yo

Maybe I shoud lock myself in hadron collider and run a test?

Ben Richards

Buying used for $209. :)

Boris_yo

18:18

@BenRichards Why you think used will be better than new ;)

Hennes

If you buy a new monitor, try getting one with a displayport option

It is becoming increasingly common, and you do not upgrade monitors all that often

Boris_yo

@Hennes I have VGA out in my laptop. Can I install splitter that allows me to connect a dozen monitors?

Hennes

(At least I do not)

Ben Richards

@Hennes I have VGA and HDMI out. I also am currently using an HDMI->DVI cable. It's going to be for work, so I'm good.

Hennes

/me checks laptop. Indeed. Mine also has VGA out,. And one DP.
The docking station has 2x DVI and 2x DP

Einsteins Grandson

18:20

hey guys

Boris_yo

@Hennes Is there universal docking station?

Einsteins Grandson

how can i do a system restore on windows vista?

Hennes

Usually a docking station is brand specific

Ben Richards

Never seen a universal protocol for a docking station.

Einsteins Grandson

can't find it in the menu of windows

Ben Richards

18:21

Unless they start coming out with ones with Thunderbolt. :)

Hennes

But I guess you can build a nice generic one with a thunderbolt interface

Einsteins Grandson

the system is not in English

Hennes

@EinsteinsGrandson Boot with F8, you should get a safe mode option

Boris_yo

@Hennes Thunderbold is a system?

Einsteins Grandson

is there a CMD command for that?

Hennes

18:21

And a question during the boot: Continue with safe mode or do a system restore

Thunderbolt is PCI-E in a cable. (-ish)

Boris_yo

Smartphones... A lot of smartphones...
http://promotion.focalprice.com/androiditems_201305/?utm_source=FP&utm_medium=1305AI&utm_campaign=FP_1305AI_BN

Einsteins Grandson

yeah, i pressed F8 and chose the safe with command line....

then get into windows

Hennes

Disclaimer: I did not try that on vistra, just with win7

aka vista SP1

Ben Richards

@EinsteinsGrandson If you boot with the Windows CD, there's usually a recovery option and I think it will try that as an option.

Einsteins Grandson

wrote "explorer" in the console

so now i have "kind of" windows enviroment

If i don't have a Windows CD, it means i can't do it?

Ben Richards

18:26

@EinsteinsGrandson You should be able to without one.

Einsteins Grandson

now i run it in the command line with the command " rstrui.exe "

Ben Richards

I don't have Vista, haven't used it in a while. Can't remember off the top in my head.

Einsteins Grandson

however, i didn't do the "point of restore" in the past

it tells me it's not possible to do the system restore since i don't have that "point of recovery"

Hennes

OK.

That is quite possible if you have system restore turned off to save diskspace

Boris_yo

@Hennes Like PCI-E video card in a cable? Or is it slot?

Hennes

18:29

PCI-e is a slot

YOu can put a videocard in it, or a disk controller, or an USB card, or .....

Einsteins Grandson

@Hennes, what do you mean

?

Hennes

Did you ever open a desktop ?

Boris_yo

@Hennes I did and I saw PCI-E on fatherboard
