| Jun 10, 2015 at 19:18 | comment | added | user402879 | I don't need constructive criticism on my productivity or time-management skills. I don't need suggestions on my writing style. All I need is to know whether such a question is appropriate. Please stay within the scope of this site. >< | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 19:16 | comment | added | user402879 | Could you just freaking answer my question already? Geez, first you say you don't understand the question, so I explain it, and now you criticise the fact that I'm explaining it so you can understand it?? Just answer me already! >_< | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 19:15 | comment | added | Ramhound | @SarahofGaia - The time you spent making those comments could have been used to format the question differently. if you asked the question you wanted to ask, with a question mark and quote it, what your question was would have been really clear. | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 19:13 | comment | added | user402879 | @Ramhound: - "Is this type of question on-topic for Super User? If not, what site would this be appropriate for?" Self-explanatory. | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 19:12 | comment | added | user402879 | @Ramhound: - "... and if so, what it/they is/are." If it is known, then either: 1. If there is only one reason behind it, what is it? 2. If there are multiple answers behind it, what are they? | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 19:12 | comment | added | user402879 | @Ramhound: - "I'd like to ask if there is a single answer or multiple possible answers ..." This means that I would like to ask if there is 1 answer as to why the above is true or if there may be multiple things causing it. (And if it's not known for sure, then I'm fine with that answer, too.) | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 19:12 | comment | added | user402879 | @Ramhound: - "I have an idea as to why this is, but I'm not entirely sure ..." In other words, before asking this question, I already had an idea as to why the above might be the case. However, as I said, "I'm not entirely sure". | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 19:12 | comment | added | user402879 | @Ramhound: - "CPU architectures are still most of the time communicated in terms of "x86" and "x64" as opposed to numbers of bits." In other words, most people tend to call CPU architectures as "x86" or "x64" instead of "32-bit" and "64-bit", respectively, instead | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 18:56 | comment | added | Ramhound | @SarahofGaia - I am saying this question. Its not clear what you wanted to know, would be a good question, I have read it multiple times and still have no clue. I know it has something to do with computer architectures, and why they are named they way there are, but that seems like a question for a forum not a Q&A website. | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 18:52 | comment | added | user402879 | @Ramhound: Oh, that question. I thought you meant the question I was asking here in meta. Sorry about that. | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 10:44 | comment | added | Ramhound | @SarahofGaia - You don't even say what your question would be, thus, what you want to know would be a good question wasn't clear to me | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 3:52 | comment | added | user402879 | Cool. Thanks, I'll check it out. 👍 | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 3:47 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | @SarahofGaia: Its pretty simple - and quite a lot of the more interesting, vaguely off topic conversations happen there. root access is the main room for this site, and we're a friendly bunch. | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 3:41 | comment | added | user402879 | @JourneymanGeek: Thanks. I'm not too familar with chat on SE sites, so I'll just probably try an external source or something. Thanks, anyway. | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 3:40 | comment | added | user402879 | @Ramhound: I was pretty clear with what I wanted to ask. I was very direct with it. So, what are you talking about? | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 3:39 | comment | added | user402879 | @barlop: Yeah, I don't fully get why that is... | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 0:01 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | Might be something that would work great in chat IMI | |

I don't know if you are trying to say that you find something unclear, but if you're going to say that, then say what it is you find unclear. You talk about what helps.. you write "Helps if you make the question you want to ask clear" Well, yeah it does. And it helps if you state what it is you think is unclear. | |

| Jun 9, 2015 at 17:25 | comment | added | barlop | the only site that doesn't allow that kind of question is stackexchange sites.. any other tech forum would permit it. | |
