@Joshua does not give direct contact information to particular sub-offices. nothing would piss me off as a recruiter quite as fast as having to get transferred 3 times during reviewing a resume/application. on the second transfer the application would find the trash can
there's a link on the nav-panel straight to swappiness
@AnwarShah why would you download arch when there are so many ubuntu users complaining about minor issues you could make $5 apps to fix and have them later integrated/cloned in to mainline?
Though I also voted it to close but I believe the question is not a duplicate. Because the OP here do not asking about booting into X directly, but asking to disable the splash to see the messages during booting — Anwar17 secs ago
Powerbar business model: Okay, so I've got this idea... Let's take a Snickers bar. Then we make it taste awful. Last we triple the price and sell something nutritionally identical in health food stores.
Google cripples G+ on Firefox, I point it out, and he comes to prove me wrong with Opera and an older version of Firefox, claiming Firefox is "missing HTML5 callbacks".... royal IDIOT.
@RolandTaylor firefox does fail pretty epically to render html5 properly...not that it's relevant to that particular discussion. can't say i blame google for just using webkit tags and expecting everyone to play along...
i wish firefox was the standard, but qt chose webkit for the embedded browser as did gtk (although you can use moz-embed), safari is webkit based, and chrome/ium is webkit based. resistance is futile. surrender to the borg
I've just installed Ubuntu and I need either video, wireless, or some sort of other manufacturer (non-opensource) driver; how can I run the tool that will fetch all of these for me? I'd like graphical instructions.

haven't checked it that deeply (on how it's put together). i just dumped a copy of 8 preview in a VM and the only thing i noticed was a hellatious menu system

@Joshua I didn't see your post here ...but coincidentally, I did comment there explaining why I believe it's not off-topic.
In case anyone is considering voting to close this question as off-topic: This really is a platform-specific issue, because the most popular C++ compiler for Windows (Microsoft Visual C++) accepts this syntax, but most other compilers (including g++ in Ubuntu) do not accept it. — Eliah Kagan1 min ago
@Joshua Yes. This is still a platform-specific question, though, and therefore on-topic for our site. MSVC++ is not available for Ubuntu, and this is a beginner, so they are probably copying that code from a tutorial or textbook, which means their tutorial or textbook implicitly assumes Windows.
@Joshua Well, it's a little more complicated than that. Sometimes most of the community might want something open, but five people (or fewer people and a mod) close it. But when that happens, people can post on meta, and get reopen votes. (Also, it's only community members with a certain amount of rep who can case close and reopen votes.)
well I was wondering if you'd seen a question such as this one: askubuntu.com/questions/191995/… and if you had, where because I can't seem to find one
@Oyibo that i haven't seen. maybe check what resolutions the card and the monitor both support? it could be an odd set of mismatches, but i haven't used a tegra based (usually a handheld not a proper computer)
@aking1012 I have a similar issue with my laptop, however I can always go into settings etc to fix it once I'm connected, but never thought about being able to have it perfect resolution "by default" I always assumed the hardware in the external monitor and the laptop needed to for lack of better word "adjust" to each other
Well in that case, that man was stupid.... it is rather obvious that we don't have wings... and if someone did, then there is something wrong with him...
i'm sure there must be a set of scripts that run on detection of the display, so you could tweak those to set to a particular matching set. that could in fact be it the letterbox resolutions are further down the try me list than 4:3
@Joshua i didn't mean that particular case...either way, there's a certain amount of pragmatism in accepting and acting upon the fact that there is no reasonable path between where you are and where you need to be. not a discussion worth having
Just because something isn't areodynamically sound doesn't mean it shouldn't be able to fly... it just means that it will take greater effort to achieve the same effect...
According to this article, the small a insect is the less areodynamically fit it is... so the bigger the more areodynamic... so your logic is a falicy..
you're debating things that have no place being debated (how a ball is more fit for sustained air travel than a hanglider for instance...that's the correlation you were trying to draw boiling it down to size of an object). just let it go
So, I could use some advice on how to handle a particular post in the 10k flag queue. The (presumably) auto-generated flag Consecutive closed questions; askubuntu.com/q/191309askubuntu.com/q/191333 appears:

That post has already been closed, but the flag is still in the queue. Furthermore, it turned out that post was not actually a duplicate of the same question those two other posts were dupes of, it was a duplicate of a different question.
@EliahKagan someone was probably out of close-votes and trying to keep "mergelist" clear just my guess
with the "consecutive closed questions" it was probably an auto-queue of any new question that user posts to combat repetetive self-dupe on close actions
i wonder if there's a maximum length on android's shared_preference_data string object...
is it suitable to vtc something when it's an either or hardware recommendation and the site has hundreds of questions addressing both pieces of hardware?
if you search the site for both of those cards, they both have noted issues — aking10121 min ago
@aking1012 I'd think it's reasonable to vtc personally, just link the relevant questions which address the hardware so the user knows where to go afterwards I guess
I installed Linux Mint 13 (Maya) on my Macbook Pro using rEFIt, and ran through the instructions here to get wireless working. Now I can see a bunch of different networks, but I almost always fail to connect to them. I get constant notificaitons that my wireless is disconnected, because it keeps ...
Call your ISP, they should be able to tell you if there are any known issues, and possibly how to resolve them...
