Hi, Do people use editors (vim/emacs/bluefish/something other) to edit questions and answers or do most people just use the site's (stackexchange) editor?
But seriously, why on earth would somebody not use the built-in markdown editor? Not only is it actually quite good, it also handles image uploads and gives you a nice preview.

(Although I have used gedit to write a particularly large question on StackOverflow, just as I've used it to reformat people's crappy HTML formatting to answer questions for them)
But most of the time, I just rock the modified WMDEditor
@JorgeCastro I was the same but with StackOverflow and as a result I now use it as the formatting option of choice for the websites I build (effectively forcing it on my clients)
As beeing quite new to askubuntu, I'm trying to adhere to the formatting standards. That's actually the most difficult thing (when to do box, when to quote, when to list etc.). So I thought of setting up shortcuts for listed actions, code, filenames, images and all that... within thesame editor where I have access to all other shortcuts, spellcheck, interface and such.
then again... maybe I should just use markdown and save myself a lot of time ;)
Anyway, it's nice to know what most of you use. thanks.
Following the style guides on Stack Overflow and Wikipedia, I would like to propose that we create a style guide of our own. Let's hold ourselves to a high standard and create or promote questions and responses that can be understood and followed by people who have just started with Ubuntu. Let...
Do you know what the preferered way is to explain to install a package? Some answers use "sudo apt-get install foo" others link to the package in apt, sometimes even with package website.
I do have a problem, answers are VERY appreciated. I have Lubuntu 10.10 I think... running on an old machine but it runs well. But I can use the terminal to see all my wireless cards but is there an easy way to connect to a wireless access point. Once again answers are very appreciated
I'm PXE-booting a Ubuntu 10.10 system, where I specify the kernel parameters as follows:

@GeorgeEdison It's not an ASP.net room. If you read the transcript it was some help for @lazyPower with jQuery and ASP.net code - the "everyone loves" title was sarcasm.
I have installed apache2. But there is a problem with starting apache2 after update.

A new feature was added recently that adds an invisible border around the windows to grab for resizing (although i thought the new resize grip solved any big issues).
This annoys me because it destroys the usefulness of the grid plugin of compiz.. i'm not sure if the border is part of compiz or ...
@JorgeCastro i have no idea - i've never really used compiz before unity, so all those plugins are pretty new to me. the default right now is to split like in win 7 afaic
There are some posts with nice Software Center icons and links to software installation via apt. How to do that?
