@nerdy The words are kind of synonymous, but I don't know that either of them has a specific technical definition (in the sense that, say, "momentum" does)

That's the wrong way to think about it. Just because an answer doesn't get voted on, it doesn't necessarily mean it was not useful to anyone - and perhaps more importantly, it doesn't mean it will not be useful to anyone...
Hmm... (Thinking about the past)... I've deleted too many answers :/
Don't you think , that the privileges given to you shouldn't be taken away when you offer a bounty on a question . Taking away reputation is fine , but privileges shouldn't be taken away since they are earned after honestly earning a certain reputation , and just because you want to award a bounty on some question to get a better answer, you lose even the privileges that were given to you on the site
My rep went over 2,000 today which meant I could edit other people's posts. Great! Then I added a bounty to a previous question, which brought me back down to 1,984...and I can no longer edit other posts. Should this changed? Or is this ideal?

Consider your rep as water in a bucket, so if you reach your daily rep cap, that means your bucket is full. Now, when someone up-votes you beyond your rep cap, which is analogous to adding more water to the already full bucket - the bucket will simply overflow. Your up-votes at the time of your d...

Unfortunately I'm going on vacation (not much Internet access) from 25th-5th, so I'll just be reading for now.
Lately I've noticed quite a few Wikipedia articles written like papers with a lot of "we illustrate" and "we show that...". Tons of "we" rather than an encyclopedic tone.
From the above picture we can prove easily $ CF = XF$ because CFX is a isosceles triangle. Now if we move the point X more near near P, it will give the same results(I mean we will get again $ CF = XF$) but by drawing the figure on paper, I have measured that XF= CF are not equal always. What is...
After posting a question I remember that for max rep whoring don't post on a Friday afternoon or Saturday. Site activity seems to be at a minimum. Oh well.
@BrandonEnright LOL :-D, since some time I am thinking to posting stuff at the weekend (starting Friday afternoon) is ... say unfavorable. But today it worked not that bad for me :-P
Much more important is to know when to post stuff if you dont want particular people or moderators to see it ... :-P!
