I want the smallest possible code for this question. I never want to follow other questions as they never helped me and given me back to back errors

I want to retrieve information like the city, state, and country of a visitor from their IP address, so that I can customize my web page according to their location. Is there a good and reliable way to do this in PHP? I am using JavaScript for client-side scripting, PHP for server-side scripting, and MySQL for the database.

in questions, answers, and comments. Can we get something like this going on Stack Overflow?  I think it’d be appropriate as I at least pretty often want to write something like n^2 and would benefit greatly from prettier markup.

In chat, the short code [metaso] expands to http://meta.stacexchange.com/ (no typo, the missing 'k' is the bug I'm reporting).  (And since this is too short a bug report, I'll note that I think that [metaso] should probably point to .)

I am giving a LaTeX course and have the idea to let the students find and solve problems within a few documents. Basically they shall learn how to create minimal examples and read error messages.  However, currently I have no document with 'typical' errors around.  If someone has such examples from him- or herself or within this forum I would like to have the code or link. It does not matter if its short or long. It should just be enough to let the students play with it for some minutes.

, to correct a misspelled library enum in an answer. Since the edit was only one character, I also had to add a superfluous sentence to get over the character limit required to edit a post.  I've hit this problem before in other edits, always in code snippets. Since the edit limit exists to prevent trivial edits, and since there are many cases where one character code edits are not trivial (= to == etc), would it make sense to have a lower edit minimum inside code snippets?

Instead of asking a question I would love to share the one or other code snippet I have created that is too small to make a full article on e.g. CodeProject.com or CodePlex.com.  Question: Would it be a good idea to post it as a Stack Overflow question? Or are there any other suggestions how to share it?  (Of course I could post it on my own weblog and then twitter about it, but I would love to put it in more of a programming context)

A friend and I are going back and forth with brain-teasers and I have no idea how to solve this one.  My assumption is that it's possible with some bitwise operators, but not sure.

I am going make a table smaller in a paper which I am going to submit to a journal. I used \small but it does not make it small enough ?

It would be nice if backticked code in question titles were rendered the same way they are in question bodies. Since there are so many questions with code in them I feel it would be a big plus. .  This would look a lot nicer in listings and on the page itself if the code strings were rendered as such.  Similar ideas discussed .

Call me nitpicky, but I can't ignore the fact that the emphasis on the following close reason is misleading:     Questions asking for code must demonstrate a minimal understanding   of the problem being solved. Include attempted solutions, why they   didn't work, and the expected results. See also:    (Emphasis not mine)   The main emphasis is about what they did wrong, rather than how to fix it!       demonstrate a minimal understanding of the problem being solved   So the OP thinks     What does that supposed to mean? I know what my problem is!   Instead, the emphasis should be on Include attempted solutions, why they didn't work, and the expected results Also, the emphasis is set on the expected results, rather than what's usually missing from the question, the attempted solutions.     I suggest the following emphasis:     Questions asking for code must demonstrate a minimal understanding   of the problem being solved. Include attempted solutions, why they   didn't work, and the expected results. See also:

What happened to the close vote option for posts that describe an error or unexpected result but don't include the relevant code or any code!? This is on of the two most popular I use.. What am I supposed to do about questions like  now!?  I just also noticed "must show minimal understanding" is missing as well. After reading over the new option again, I am supposing that the intention is to use "not likely to be helpful for future viewers" for both of these?

I'm trying to post a sample of code that looks like this:        Look at all of those comments, and it still won't allow me post! What am I doing wrong?

I've been trying to block ANY queries in my BIND server with no success.  I followed this post  which says that I can use minimal-responses but it doesn't work.  None of the answers fit my current configuration.  view world {     match-clients   { world-clients; };     allow-recursion { none; };     recursion       no;     allow-transfer  { key XXXXXX; };      minimal-responses yes;      forwarders      { };      include         "/etc/bind/world.conf"; };

I quite often get stuck trying to solve particular problems, or getting syntaxes right.   Apart from the details provided in the links on , does anyone know of any 3rd party resources/manuals explaining it in a bit more user friendly way?
