@Seth We should be very careful with 20k quick delete votes on questions (normally we wait a couple of days before deleting a question, as is required for ordinary 10k delete votes). Stack Overflow currently has a problem with overeager 20k delete voters deleting posts that are salvageable. However, in this case, I agree it's appropriate, and I've voted to delete.
@Seth 10k users cannot vote to delete that as it was posted just a couple hours ago. Normal delete votes can only be cast 2 days after a post is closed.
It's better to delete a spam post with spam flags than with delete votes: there are heuristics to block posters who've only posted spam from creating new accounts

It doesn't matter if a link to the deleted spam post remains in chat
@Gilles (Unrelated to spam.) Thx for the edit there. IMO that is a substantial improvement. It also has the effect of emphasizing how handy single-quotes are, for the scenarios where they can be used simply (because all those caveats that I'd failed to include don't apply to the single-quote situation).
Scenario:
There's a spam post that's lingering on a site.
Someone links to the post in a chatroom, to attract more spam flags.
The post gets hammered off.
But the onebox of the post remains in the chatroom. Possibly including a link included in the spam.
A moderator can delete the chat messag...
One problem I see with that (and maybe I should post this one the question..) is that once a onebox is oneboxed there isn't anything to keep track of it to see when it's deleted... That might be kinda hard to implement..
After the last (not so big thanks to Shog(\o/)) blast of spam a couple users and I (with a mod) decided to run some tests. We found that it's extremely easy to post a spam question. Ridiculously easy.
One thing we noticed about these spam users is that most of them are unregistered.

It's even easier to spam with anonymous edits; just do some valid-looking edits to a question (preferably a long question that requires scrolling), and post your spam at the end. Odds are, the reviewers won't scroll to the end to catch it. — Blah Blah GrabblesnackersMar 22 at 20:23
^^ that's creative and I'm glad it hasn't started happening much
side note, i started looking at building a qemu image for the ubuntu-phone. this would be so much easier with a static image and a couple of files instead of all this mangling...still, when it's done i'll have an answer to my question

Not beyond simple text editing on systems that don't have gui's. I'm a mousepad or eclipse man unless I have to use vim...although I've seen some neat vimrc files.
I imagine it would become relevant if I were working on remote headless systems and doing live hot-patching of ruby or something, but if I don't have time to play with it in a local editor I probably shouldn't be pushing the change to production anyway. Some people swear by ruby/rails plug-ins to vim. It just doesn't fit my workflow.
How can I find out that a DNS query is filtered? I am trying to access twitter from a proxy server (toonel). But nothing happens. I can visit other websites.
In terms of hardware, it's about four times better than the 7100 and it's pretty cheap.
I can't suggest any of the other cards in your price range - they're all awful and I think (just for the purposes of playing Sonic) you'd be wasting your money.
The nvidia *00, *10 and *20 cards are particularly awful. They might look tempting but they will disappoint.
I've no idea how the AMD/ATIs compare. I haven't owned one since my X800XT... It was a good card a decade ago. I'd send you it if it didn't cost about 3000 rupees to do so.
4,875 on ebay! wth?! it's over a decade old!
(And, again, driver support was patchy at the time and that's what pushed me to a 8800GTS)
Does HD 6450 work ok with Ubuntu 11.10? I have desktop computer and my screen is connected with DVI. I want to know should it work ok with Ubuntu and proprietary drivers.
And my computer has an AMD APU Processor, which has GPU + CPU in one. But can i be sure it uses the HD 6450 card, not the int...
I am trying to exchange two words in a line but it doesn't work.
For example:
"Today is my first day of university" should be "my is Today first day of university"
This is what I tried:
sed 's/\([a-zA-z0-9]\)\([a-zA-z0-9]\)\([a-zA-z0-9]\)/\3\2\1/' filename.txt
What am I doing wrong?
@amithkk you just played into the hands of a joker. Don't hot link.
I do need to somehow get a new display that can do HDMI. RaspPi isn't something I look forward to using without one. Thoughts @amithkk? Or should I just get a cable that does HDMI > VGA?
@AmithKK I'd like to know where should I look for information about it. I'd like to build applications for Ubuntu, but I have no idea from where to start, I also got confused with these name: PyObject, GTK+, GTK, etc, which one should I use in a Ubuntu application, and where I get information about how to use it (like Python Tutorial)?
I got a little confused after I had read advices on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Partitioning and on https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/powerpc/directory-tree.html. Why is there such a big difference between the sizes of the partitions? E.g., about / partition.

in case you're wondering, the name/gravatar change was for a comment joke on MSO
