It is clear that Stack Overflow is a community driven network that encourages users to actively answer or ask questions, flag and/or edit them. If a user registers interest in a SE site- answers a single question or two and then loses interest, inherently it means they have no more interest in ...

I am very confused regarding the use of What/how/etc do you think ... as questions. e.g.: What do you think is my name? What do you think my name is? How do you think it is done? How do you think is it done? etc. Can you please elaborate with grammatical rules ?

Over on stack-overflow, I have 2 or 3 questions that have over 1000 page views and its hard for me to believe that they only have 1 up-vote each. I am not saying my questions deserve it, but I have seen some really stupid questions that have way more, with less views. No examples at the moment, b...

Saw this post today Why is printing "B" dramatically slower than printing "#"? So apparently even one of the answerer tried to close this question as "offtopic" To close a question, we need at least five people. For each people voting to close, minus as many karma as the question receives. The...

As Stack Overflow grows, it becomes increasingly ridden with extremely newbie and mediocre questions. It's just natural. The team are fighting hard to keep the crap out, but there are many very basic questions that are okay on their own. They don't deserve to be kicked out* - they are ...

How would you call that if I'm on public transport, sitting comfortably on a chair, and then a senior or a lady in red walks in and so I want to stand up and give my place to that person ? like, I ... my place/chair (to) that person. I'm not sure, but there should be something like that. Thanks...
