@Prasad Why you will uninstall LAMP if the problem is in P (php)? That is not logical..
If so, re-install PHP.
 
I tried reinstalling Apache and PHP and didn't help
 
@AbrahamVanHelpsing Hush.
 
I think this either needs upticks or deleted, but I'm not sure which...I'm pretty sure the user in question is being obtuse: askubuntu.com/questions/260397/…
 
@Seth Huh?
 
12:05 AM
@AbrahamVanHelpsing hmmm....
@FEichinger Huh??
What are you requesting clarification about?
 
@Seth I ... don't really get the point, I guess.
Of you quoting that, I mean.
 
just teasing.
11 mins ago, by AbrahamVanHelpsing
php is evil anyway. use some ruby or python framework
 
Oh, Hush!
@Prasad - Does it download the actual file? As in: What are the contents of the file?
 
:P
 
@Prasad - And, secondly, does a simple HTML file get displayed properly?

@mateo_salta kinda... bright.
 
I don't like change! D:
 
hm, should that be red, or orange?
 
red
Salmon really.
 
@FEichinger Change doesn't like us either, that's the way it is. :)
 
12:18 AM
There is no such thing as Salmon, period.
 
Feb 13 at 22:26, by mateo_salta
nah, looks more like Bubblegum Crisis Salmon color to me
 
@FEichinger So true! :D
 
@FEichinger none of those matches the color.
 
"Maraschino" kinda does, I think.
 
Good grief. What kind of color chart is this?
 
12:21 AM
The reason we call our Bubblecum Crisis Salmon "red" for simplicity's sake.
Stop arguing over it. Call it red, cause it ain't pink.
 
salmon is certainly a color. i had a boss who wore salmon colored jean shorts and a shrek green polo to work at least once a week
the sad part is that when he did, he sorta looked like shrek
 
lol, there should be a UX post about this.
 
Salmon is a color, 'cause it isn't red and its not pink.
@mateo_salta Wanna do the honors? :D:D
 
so you see how it's kinda shrek-y

Q: How to best Classify color names in a system of colors

mateo_saltaMany times in using general color names in communication, i.e. Red and Green, users are confused when the color is a non-pure form of the color. For Example, in referring to the Red-ish color of the error box on Ask Ubuntu: There is much debate as to what to classify the color as, Here are so...

 
@mateo_salta +1
 
you cut out my salmon comments. i'm alternately overjoyed and irritated
 
@mateo_salta Why am I always involved in such stuff? :(
 
oh? can you edit bookmarks

It's an interesting question, but outside of the scope of this site. — JohnGB 10 secs ago
WHAT!?!?!?!?!
 
@mateo_salta heh. either way. i was just getting my knickers in a twist for no good reason
 
12:51 AM
How is that outside the scope of friggin UX?
 
IKR!
 
maybe too broad.
 
"How to communicate colours?" is a more creator-sided discussion, but it's definitely a UX discussion.
 
if the freakin nintendo user interface question is on topic...how is communicating a color off-topic?
 
Did you get a close vote?
@AbrahamVanHelpsing And what about the coffee bean one?
 
12:52 AM
That's gonna be a fun meta post, I guess. :P
 
Who's gonna do the honors?
 
You pick a good question. One or the other:
"Why were the buttons B A?"
"How do I communicate shades of red more clearly?"
 
I don't have a UX account yet, I believe, so ... not me.
 
@FEichinger You need one.
Every SE user needs a UX account.
 
I don't want one :(
That makes me feel dirty, like having an SO account.
 
12:54 AM
here some one read up on this, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_term make me an answer about using some standard terms(if interested of course), en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISCC-NBS_system
 
@AbrahamVanHelpsing Not the nintendo one for sure.
 
@AbrahamVanHelpsing Both are great and fully in the scope of UX.
 
I like using "B A" in an A or B question...I'm so punny.

Q: Blue or red color for counter of new messages?

UX-GeekI'm trying to implement an inbox for users and there is an indicator in the site that shows you how many new messages you have. When I use blue for notifications it nicely fits in the site, and red is OK. From a UX point of view, is it a good practice to show new messages in blue or we should s...

Is a a mod around?
 
@Seth I love how the accepted answer gives no clue whatsoever about which answers lead to which colours.
 
12:57 AM
@FEichinger IKR. The second answer has the most upvotes.
 
UX - answering your questions with questions.
Sooo ... I'm now gonna do my first time installing ubuntu server to an actual machine, rather than a VM.
My last resort in getting that PC to work. The one with the no-drivers-for-windows-anymore network card.

2:23 AM
@Abraham: In regards to your question earlier, I always add .pyc at a minimum to .gitignore .
It gets a bit tricky when it comes to settings.py though.
...since those are installation-dependent.
So what I usually do is create another file named base_settings.py and store all installation independent settings in there. Then at the top of settings.py I do this:
from base_settings import *
Then I add all installation dependent settings after that line. I can also override settings that way as well.
(This is all from memory, so I might have missed something. Hopefully you get the general idea, though.)
 
2:49 AM
Screw my network.
I really need to get a new switch here ...
 
jrg
i should start lying and say i'm 20.
people keep freaking out because of my age, it's starting to get annoying.
 
@jrg You're making me feel old, for chrissake!
 
meh
you're mature for your age james
 
why even mention your age. it shouldn't matter
 
jrg
i like cat gifs, i found a awesome gif of some pink princess flipping a table and i will tell terrible jokes with anyone who will listen.
@bcbc because I still haven't figured out a good way of answering the question "What do you do for a living"
 
3:00 AM
maybe "I'm a student"?
 
jrg
then there is the follow up: Where do you go to college?
"Oh, I'm still in high school".
(i'm bitter, perplexed, and pretty mad about some reactions to that lately, in case you're wondering. :P)
on the other hand, it's a nice litmus test.
if they make a big deal out of it, then i probably don't want to have anything to do with them.
if they just shrug, say "thats cool" and then carry on from where we were, thats better.
 
I just wouldn't answer personal questions to anybody
some people (especially online) can be ... jerks

I meant: to just anybody
 
jrg
oh, not online.
online i have that in my profile for various things, its a public fact, not a discussion starter. Except here, where I come and rant about it to the regulars. :P
in-person at work though, even though it's a fairly small company, people are still finding that out.
it's been almost 2 years.
it's a hoot. :P
 
people ask you what you do for a living at work? ;)
 
jrg
are you familiar with ycombinator?
 
3:09 AM
no
 
jrg
ok, so the basic idea is ycombinator is a place where you can go, pitch your company, get feedback, maybe walk away with some money in return for a chunk of the company.
i work for a ycombinator-like place, as a quarter of their IT department. as such, i run into a lot of people, both those who work for the same people as I do, and those who are pitching their company.
 
sounds like interesting work
 
jrg
it's weird, thats for sure.
 
how do you juggle school, work and more importantly, askubuntu ?
 
jrg
school: Hands-on accounting, project management, etc is the name of the game right now. work: it's work. fun. askubuntu: idle here, fight the other mods for the right to take care of the flags, etc.

A: Can Ubuntu repair windows 7 that won't boot?

lucysanI always check out this website before downloading registry software for pc/mac - www.microsoftapple.com - My personal favourite is smart pc fixer because it's just incredibly simple to use and does exactly what it's name suggests. A good mac alternative is detox my mac for similar reasons.

Anything wrong with that?
 
ewwww
let me take a look but I think quite a lot
 
is that spam?

Almost, if not yes.
 
Not a spam, but definitely not an answer!

No big deal, but when you're dealing with a real person...
 
@Seth real person would make it obvious that he is real. dont worry
 
Oh I'm not worried.
 
I mean, if you search for "My personal favourite is smart pc fixer because it's just incredibly simple to use and does exactly what it's name suggests. A good mac alternative is" you would know
They are spamming the web since the start of this month. Budding spammers.
