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 just disable flash by default. The slow ads don't load, but I don't have to deal with the Moral Quandary of adblock on sites I like.

I think Blip has the same problem, as a pop-up ad at the beginning of a video (not the video ad that precedes the actual video) is probably the cause of occasionally crashing Safari. It hasn't happened recently, but wonder if using a different browser remedies the problem...

^ My brother plays the free one, he begs me to buy the Beta. There's an active topic on the videogame forum.

What is this supposed to be? Stifled laughter? Disgust? Shock?

The parser adds a dash and a space to the URL if it's too long. Try cutting it out(the space might become encoded to %20).

Oh, I got it now.

I don't quite know what emotion it's meant to convey; my best guess is that she looks close to snapping.

It looks like she's trying to stifle a laugh to me.

Anyone know if Bach ever wrote books? Like, of words. I'm curious now.

Question for any tropers on Deviant ART: I have a drawing I'd like to submit to the Tropers group. How do I do that?

Be not afraid...

First you just post it on Deviant Art as normal, then you go to your deviation page and click the "add to group" button on the side, and pick out the troper group. Alternatively, go to the troper group's page, click "submit art" (assuming you're a member of that group) and browse to your deviation.

It's just Javascript, so it should work anywhere you can use Firefox+Greasemonkey.

How the hell do I install this(can't find any download button), and does it even work?

If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.
