I've found a good way to farm flag weight is to spend all of your close votes on old stuff and then flag new stuff as "I would close this, but I'm out of votes :("

When I'm in the close tab of /review, whenever I vote to close a question the dialog box for choosing what reason to close is never dismissed after I cast my vote. If I manually close the box by clicking the X in the top left-hand corner I can see that my vote is ...

I have a Cisco 1841 Router I need to connect one fibre Optic cable to it and make my router available for another network by using this fibre Optic cable.
What is the best way to do this and what are the commands which I have to use?
My server has several IP addresses bound to it's network card. Whenever I use IE, FireFox, Opera... the browser uses the default IP address so if I visit http://www.myipaddress.com the default server IP address is shown.
Is there any way to browse websites from my other IP addresses (an special ...
I don't want to throw gasoline on a fire, but I seriously want to ask syneticon in Quux's post today a question: "Why do you care so much about a small chat room that you don't understand, aren't working to enrich and hardly participate in? If we're such a pox on humanity, just leave and adorn another chat community."
I read an interview somewhere that they were "planning" to only be 1 season so they had some tricks up their sleeve. For example, the janitor in season 1 actually never interacts with anyone else, so it was going to be a reveal that he was actually imaginary
I wonder why someone who I've never seen in here before the conflagration yesterday has taken such an interest in decrying something that he hasnt invested any amount of time in.
In the comments on Quux's post, syneticon seems to focus on people being directly abusive to people asking questions in chat. That's never an okay thing, but I don't think we've ever done that. We've told people that this isn't a place for support - but even then, we really go a long ways to helping people who ask for it.
So, I recently read a trio of quasi-good Sci-fi books by Robert J Sawyer (of 'Flash Forward' fame). WWW wake watch wonder. They are of questionable quality, but they're a little too "recent" for me, as in one of them the lead character specifically references not only xkcd by name, but the 'someone is wrong on the internet' comic

I have a task to complete in C#. I have an:
IP Address: 192.168.1.57
and a
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
I need to find the Subnet number, which would be, in this case, 192.168.0.0.
However, I need to be able to do this in C# WITHOUT the use of the System.Net library (the system I am programming in...
I am done with work for the year. I do need to get ready to host the descending family but other than that I plan to get drunk off my ass next week. Sound like a plan?
shrug fixed now, just never changed it, got a notification from Twitter app, a text message plus Gvoice popped up for some reason and the built in cyanogen twitter pinged too.
fish and chip eating freaks? How dare you sir! Eating fish and chips is perfectly natural. Why I was just doing it the other day. I've never been so insulted since someone implied that all you had to do to get into my college was be able to sing the school song, hit a six and take a hot crumpet from behind without blubbing
@WesleyDavid apparently. That was the referral from the ER though. I'm gonna call my family practitioner and see if they have someone else sooner. That and I need more drugs.
I'm going to say a phrase, you will then have 15 seconds to shout whatever you want at your computer screen and then continue reading. Internet Explorer Read more »
@Aaron I was replying to @MDMarra's blog post, in retrospect, I should have just pinged him...and continually remind him that he doesn't get fuzzy snowmen
Problem: Slow response from sysadmin team. Reason: It's adoption day at the cat shelter. Solution: Wait until they're done captioning the cats. They'll get to your problem when there are no higher priority tasks.
@voretaq7 I know. I am a lesson in contradictions.
I barely tolerate the family house cat and look forward to my own apartment shortly to get away from the thing. I will however make an aquarium empire.
