Chat room stars, personal vs. room Update This just happened. I waltzed into the PHP room, and sure enough:  If this isn't evidence that we need a room star creation reputation minimum, I don't know what is. Alternative While I believe functionality in this proposal would be optimal, it is perfectly understandable that such an implementation may be too large for reasonable expectations. Alternatively, as has been discussed elsewhere and in the comments (and additional notes) below, a reputation minimum for room star creation may be satisfactory to prevent clutter. This could be broken into two functions:  create a room star increment an existing room star  Since the fundamental issue is with room star creation, a reputation minimum should only be required for that; perhaps something on the order of 500. However, a lower minimum could be required to increment existing room stars; perhaps something on the order of 100. Proposal Continuing with the frustration from , I'm wondering if a distinction between personal stars and room stars would help manage the way we mark content as &quot;interesting&quot;. While there aren't any specific guidelines on star etiquette (please correct and link accordingly if I'm wrong), the tendency of regulars in various rooms is to star content that has some sort of permanence and relevance to the rest of the room. Occasionally, however, an unfamiliar face will wander in and start starring things left and right. The stars are relevant only in the context of their conversation (typically regarding a problem about which they've visited the room for guidance) and only to themselves.  This would permit people to track their bookmark content on-site, without it &quot;polluting&quot; the room stars. As stars are inherently public, personal stars could be visible publicly on a given users'  profile.  Additional Notes  A minimum reputation requirement (something reasonable, 200? 500?) could be required to create room stars, whereas personal stars can be created by anyone able to chat. For this to be effective, the default behavior of starring a message would need to be &quot;personal&quot;, unless both options were provided beside one-another.
Chat Feature-Request: Thumbs-Up Add an additional form of "I agree" besides starring or pinning (since pinning is restricted to a smaller subset to begin with) or something that we can use to not clog up the right hand star bar.  This is because sometimes you want to say "I agree" but you don't want to star it because ... let's face it, that's not star-worthy, and you don't want to clutter the stream with fifty thousand "like totes for sure, hella right!" because then it becomes one big back-patting party and you lose all semblance of conversation.  So I would propose a fourth "flag" for chat, that allows us to say "I {agree with|like|am of the same opinion as} this comment" and that it would only be useful in the live-chat (and maybe but not really in the transcript) and that it have no other useful semantics (no badges, no list of's [unless the list is of comments you've upthumbed]).
I already have the "Edit Questions And Answers" privilege. Yet, if I approve someone else's edit, I'm told that more votes will be required before the edit is accepted.  This seems a bit peculiar to me, since I could just copy the edited version and paste it myself. Turning fullscreen on made Minecraft crash, and now it crashes on start every time I switched to full screen on minecraft, the screen turned black as if it were loading it took a while so i closed minecraft and reopened it. When I logged on it gave me a program on my taskbar saying "minecraft minecraft" then when i closed the program it gave me this error message:   java(tm) platform SE binary has stopped working.    Is there a way to fix this? A weighted version of random.choice Are you allowed to use numbers as table names in MySQL? I'm thinking of having a program that dynamically creates new tables as the need arises. Can I have tables named with just numbers in MySQL? I have always heard that it's a bad idea to install lots of software on a Windows machine, and new software should always be tested in a virtual machine so as to not permanently affect the operating system. But does the actual act of installing a piece of software really slow down the Windows OS? Or is it more due to the programs themselves running a bunch of background services?  To rephrase my question, if I were to continuously install software but then remove it later, would Windows still slow down?

This question was posed at the beginning of AP Calculus, so we can't use any math beyond precalc.  Thanks! Editing the "Self-Learner" Badge Description Stemming from  the text for "Self-Learner" badge is pretty easy to get confused by.  Current Text     Answered your own question with score of 3 or more    Issue  The person in the above question was confused as they thought they needed to answer their own question, and that the question had to have a score of 3 or more. What it actually means is that they have to answer their own question, and the answer needs to have a score of three or more. The way it is phrased is ambiguous, so why not make it clear?  Suggestion  Edit the text as follows:     Provide an answer with a score of 3 or more to your own question   No more confusion. SharePoint Migration 2007 to 2013 For which positive integer values of $n$ does $a|mn-b?$ I am taking a number theory class, and I was not able to solve this homework problem.   Let $a,$ $b,$ and $m$ be constant positive integers. For which positive integer values of $n$ does $a|mn-b?$   I tried this out for a couple of values, and the values of $n$ satisfying this expression seem to occur in a cycle.  (For example, let $m=2019,$ $a=20,$ $b=19.$ The values of $n$ that work are $1,21,41,61,....$) However, I am not able to show that this always happens. It is well known that $\sqrt{2}$ is irrational, and by modifying the proof (replacing 'even' with 'divisible by $3$'), one can prove that $\sqrt{3}$ is irrational, as well.  On the other hand, clearly $\sqrt{n^2} = n$ for any positive integer $n$.  It seems that any positive integer has a square root that is either an integer or irrational number.        How do we prove that if $a \in  \mathbb N$, then $\sqrt a$ is an integer or an irrational number?      I also notice that I can modify the proof that $\sqrt{2}$ is irrational to prove that $\sqrt[3]{2}, \sqrt[4]{2}, \cdots$ are all irrational.  This suggests we can extend the previous result to other radicals.        Can we extend 1? That is, can we show that for any $a, b \in \mathbb{N}$, $a^{1/b}$ is either an integer or irrational?

Modifying Score text in Locate Widget of Flexviewer 2.4? I want to add text where it says "score" to make it more clear that this is an address matching score.    I am using the LocateWidget_US.xml and do not think I can do it here.  I think the place to do it may be in the LocateWidget.mxml in this line????   locateResult.content = getDefaultString("resultScoreText") + " " +   (addrCandidate.score % 1 == 0 ? addrCandidate.score : addrCandidate.score.toFixed(1)); Why did I just get the Announcer Badge and the Booster badge? Today I got both the Announcer badge and the Booster badge for  that I asked last year.   I don't remember ever sharing a link to it, and it seems odd to me that I would get both badges in one day, implying that there were at least 276 people who viewed it today from a link I don't remember ever sharing.  What's going on? Explain why $\mathbb{Z \times Z}$ and $\mathbb{R \times R}$ is not a field Given that   $x^x = y$; and  given some value for $y$   is there a way to expressly solve that equation for $x$? I have never found experimental evidence that measuring one entangled particle causes the state of the other entangled particle to change, rather than just being revealed.  Using the spin up spin down example we know that one of the particles will be spin up and the other spin down, so when we measure one and find it is spin up we know the other is spin down. Is there any situation after creation that the particle with spin up will change to spin down?
