Quickie Questions

Go To

This thread is for quick questions. A "quick question" is a question which has a relatively quick, generally factual answer; a question which is not likely to inspire an extended discussion.

e.g.

Quick Question: How tall is an average ten-year-old boy?
Not a Quick Question: Why are Americans obsessed with guns?

Quick Question: Why is ALS sometimes called Lou Gehrig's Disease? Who was Lou Gehrig?
Not a Quick Question: In Alan Dean Foster's Thranx Commonwealth series, is Pip a Mary Sue?

Get the idea?

I wonder what causes some systems to fail at displaying all those diacritics so catastrophically anyway.

Double post: hay, Canadians, I understand that KD=Kraft Dinner=macaroni and cheese in your country. Do gamers ever make puns on K/D Kill to Death ratios?

Is a basement or a second floor more defendable? I think the basement has less windows to worry about, but that's also less escape routes.

Depends on how the enemies are distributed.

Question: Microsoft can use this program to hijack your computer and enter commands and stuff, is there a way I can set it up so I can do it for my grandparents computer where I can do it?

@Deboss, I thought new Windowses came with Remote Desktop software already.

I'm asking how to set it up so I can take control of someone elses machine from mine. I'm tired of driving over there to do something so damn simple.

Well, it's probably difficult for them to set up their computer to be controllable, thus the issue.

Anyway, what's the situation with ptitles now? I made a page on a novel at a ptitle since that's what I got from Googling to see if we already had a page, and put up a human-readable redirect. Is that okay?

All I know is that the computer guy who we used to use installed some sort of remote access software on our computer during his first housecall (with our permission). From then on, he could take control from anywhere. It has to be not only on yours, but also on theirs.

How exactly do you pronounce "queue"? Is it like the Spanish word "Qué"? or is it pronounced like the letter q?
