@MarcoCeppi If a question has been asked (by a person A) and there haven't been any answers posted, what must a person B do if he needs the answer to that question?
@Sid We can "Back merge" or "back close" questions. So if you can state the question in a better format than Person A and get viable results we'll just close the older one as a duplicate of the newer one
Unfortunately, I've foolishly closed the tab before I thought to take a screen shot.

There are too many good people in the moderator nomination phase already. I guess it's ok -- I'll just vote for whomever appears most often in chat. ;)
@jgbelacqua We haven't really taken a stance on programming questions. I've kind of taken them as "If it's a language or code for Ubuntu than it's fair game since this is for Users and Developers" but a meta post about what coding is on topic is probably the best.

Oh by the way, here are the stats I was talking about this morning: http://paste.ubuntu.com/561616/ (reputation comparison between askubuntu and stackoverflow)
A lot of torrent search engines have the ability to provide an RSS feed of matches, allowing you to set up torrent programs to download items which are published on the feed. This is useful for watching releases of things.
The problem with doing this through a random search engine for Ubuntu is ...
I loaded the json file with open().readlines() and scraped the rep count, then I did the calculations with a tuple of integers (and floats where unavoidable, though that doesn't make a difference in memory usage. It takes ages to calculate as well).
Further to a discussion over a year ago about Stack Overflow portable edition, I've since got a Kindle and have been working on this project again.
I got a fast new machine with lots of disk space, installed 64-bit FreeBSD on it, and now I can mmap() the whole >4G posts.xml file. That really hel...
I've expanded my nomination, http://askubuntu.com/election#post-24227 but I've only realised that since this morning, I still haven't gotten any better at writing this kind of thing. :P
