Some suggested edits like  at first look like another user trying to hijack a question. Until you see the suggestion's comment stating "Added code snippet provided by OP" - but anyone could claim that, so now you have to open the question in a new tab to check for . I therefore propose that comments are also viewable directly in the edit review view.
Having recently reviewed a few suggested edits, I've found that not being able to see the comments on the post is hindering my understanding of the context of some edits.  In particular, there have been a few posts where someone has made a substantial edit to a question or answer which significantly alters its meaning. Typically I'd reject that as "too radical", since it can't be known that the new meaning of the post was what the original author intended.  However, in some cases it is clear from the comments that the original author is aware of the intended change, and as such the editor is not in fact misrepresenting the author's intentions. In these cases, it would have been useful to see the comments when making the review decision.  As an example, a common cause of this is when an inexperienced user is asked to clarify their question, and ends up writing a comment that would be better off as an edit to the question (due to length, excess code content, etc), presumably due to lack of awareness that the question can be edited. Often, other users will helpfully edit the question to include the information the OP put in the comment (see ,  and  for examples). In this situation, it is clear that the edit reflects the OP's intentions, but this information is only present in the comments which are not visible in the review interface.  Following is the suggested edit screen showing the suggested edit. It seems indentation is increased and one line is moved a few lines upwards and some empty lines added to increase readability. But it look like an invalid edit since changing the related line may cause alteration on the runtime. So not looks lie a valid edit. Better open the answer and examine it        Checking the Q&amp;A itself reveals that a talk had taken place between the OP and the answerer and revision done by the OP with the permission of the answerer. So it was indeed a valid edit.        In short: is there any particular reason comments are not displayed in the suggested edit review interface? I think it would add useful contextual information when making review decisions, and presumably this would be trivial to implement.  Note: this is not a dupe of , as it does not concern comments posted after the suggested edit.
ASP.NET -> WCF concurrency problem Floquet and Bloch's theorems : connection? It is often stated that  and  are equivalent, even the Bloch's theorem is often referred as Floquet-Bloch theorem.  However, it seems quite confusing to me since the former involves a second order differential equation (Schroedinger equation with a periodic potential) while the latter is defined for a first order one.  Can someone clarify this to me? Also it would be nice if I can get references that connect the two. I recently ran across elliptic curve crypto-systems:    (Brown University)  (Wikipedia)  (IEEE)  (RSA.com)   It seemed to me to be great alternative to RSA as the de-facto cryptosystems to be used in banking and financial systems and in the public key infrastructure for certificates, but is not used! If someone can explain why this is not done, it would be very helpful. A comparison between traditional RSA and an elliptic curve cryptology would be helpful.  To begin with:  Advantage of RSA:   Well established.   Advantages of elliptic curve:   Shorter keys are as strong as long key for RSA (see the IEEE paper) Low on CPU consumption. Low on memory usage. Do users get notifications when @ was edited in Any idea what kind of tool should I but to fix the loose left crank on my bike? I found this  but not sure if it's gonna suit. Or is it enough to buy only nut driver? Convert all text from uppercase to lowercase and vice versa? Retrieving minimum width that contains specified fraction of all values I'd like to find the min/max boundaries of a sliding window of minimum size that contains a certain fraction of the total number of elements in an array or collection of numbers.   Example: taking integers to make it easier to explain, say the proportion of elements that we're looking for is 50% on this array:  [1,1,2,3,3,3,3,3,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]  The mystery function would return something like ( 2, 4 ), meaning that the minimum value is 2 and the max value is 4 (let's assume it's inclusive and note that these are VALUES, not indices). That little window contains 8 of the 16 values and it's only 2 units wide, the narrowest such window that contains half the number of values.  Note: the quartiles are [1,1,2,3], [3,3,3,3], [3,4,5,6], [7,8,9,10] so they are NOT what I'm looking for.  I can code it...may take some time to get it nice. Hopefully somebody has run across it before. Does it have a name?  Is there an existing method that somebody knows about?  I am interested in Python implementations.   UPDATE:  Thanks to Glen_b who gave the names 'short-half' and 'shortest interval' I was able to come up with this: I have a server running with the timezone set to UTC. It seemed like that was generally a good practice (please correct me if I'm wrong).  Anyhow, one of the servers I connect to, in order to scp files, is running on EDT and stores files that I need to copy in the format /path/to/filename/data20120913  I looked at trying to rsync files using something like find's -mtime -1 flag for files modified in the last day, but I didn't have any luck.  I don't mind just using scp to copy the current day's file, but as of right now there is a 4-hour window where running date +%Y%m%d will give a different day on each server and that bugs me a little.  Looking through man date I see that I can have the time output as UTC, but I don't see a way to have it output as another timezone like EDT  I suppose I could also use something like the GNU date extension date -d 20100909 +%s to get the date in seconds from the epoch, apply a manual 4 * 60 * 60 second calculation, and see about rendering that as a date - but then when daylight time kicks in it will still be an hour off.  Is there a simpler way to output the date in a YYYYMMDD format for EDT on a server that is set to UTC ? Is there offside when the ball deflects off an opponent? I was refereeing a 10 year old's junior game today and this situation happened. The home team's defender attempted to  pass from their own half to their forward who was in an offside position beyond the halfway line.  I was going to blow the whistle but the ball deflected off an away defender and then went to the originally offside attacker who put the ball wide.  I viewed this as onside at the time because the ball struck the away team player, however now I think it was offside because at the time of pass, the home player was offside.  Is this offside or not? unable to reset root password of mysql I need to reset the root password of my local mysql installation but it woudln't let me.

I've just set up a new machine with Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10 and then run  apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get install git   Now if I run git --version it tells me I have git version 1.7.5.4 but on my local machine I have the much newer git version 1.7.9.2  I know I can install from source to get the newest version, but I thought that it was a good idea to use the package manager as much as possible to keep everything standardized.  So is it possible to use apt-get to get a newer version of git, and what is the right way to do it? Where's my Vox Populi badge?
