I'm Occasionally Asked For My Comments (but not in the way you think ;-) )

Please feel free to use my pro-forma comments, most of which are derived from the defaults or the ones shared here rather than being written from scratch by me (some are even identical):

Import/access them in plaintext or jsonp (last updated 11 April 2013).

I do not claim original authorship of them, but if any of them turn out to be wrong or not very good, that is possibly my fault. :-)

May 14	awarded	Necromancer
Apr 19	awarded	Nice Answer
Apr 13	awarded	Revival
Apr 13	revised	Unable to run TOR Browser Bundle, not even in terminal improved formatting
Apr 13	comment	cant install a thing! What happens if you run `sudo apt-get -f install`? Also, see How do I resolve unmet dependencies?
Apr 13	reviewed	Edit suggested edit on Migration from Windows but with system compatibility problems!
Apr 13	revised	Migration from Windows but with system compatibility problems! Added paragraphs for easier reading and corrected minor grammar mistakes.
Apr 13	comment	Ubuntu Server samba running as root? This is not abandoned (it has a good, upvoted answer, and only unanswered questions can be considered abandoned), and it does appear to meet the description of too localized in any other way. I recommend we reopen this.
Apr 13	comment	Reverting problems caused by checkinstall with gcc build That answer (by the OP) is substantive and may well help others. Therefore, this is not too localized, and should be reopened.
Apr 13	comment	Why is playing music crashing my system? This has an upvoted answer that addresses the question and is reasonable (i.e., positive score, and helpful). Therefore this is not abandoned, and since the idea that it was is probably the reason this was closed as too localized, we should reopen this. (More information about when questions are and are not considered abandoned is available on meta.)
Apr 13	comment	How do I know if my firewall is on? This question has helpful, upvoted answers and consequently is not abandoned. It should be reopened.
Apr 13	comment	Where do I find system sounds? @LuisAlvarado Questions with helpful, upvoted answers are not (and have not been) considered abandoned and should not be closed as too localized unless there's some other way they meet the description of TL. (That seems very unlikely here, so I assume this was the reasoning. Please see this recent, subtantially upvoted meta post by Oli for more information.)
Apr 13	comment	.php files are downloaded instead of being parsed by Apache This has a reasonable, +6 answer. It's not abandoned and there's no reason to think this is a rare problem or one that is limited in time. Let's reopen this.
Apr 13	comment	AR8161 No connection, please help @Perro68 Can you explain specifically how you updated your driver? If so, this can be reopened. (If you want to do this, please let us know; this can be reopened to allow you to post your answer.) Your answer could help others with similar problems.
Apr 13	comment	Mail server crash This is not abandoned (which was the reasoning behind closing it as too localized); it has (my) upvoted answer, which means it's answered, and not abandoned. Let's reopen it.
Apr 13	comment	What is better: Win7 host running VMware with Ubuntu guest or visa versa? @LuisAlvarado A question with upvoted answers should not have been closed as too localized based on the idea that it's "abandoned." I can see an argument for closing this as not constructive (though its answers, citing objective facts and presenting clearly identifiable advantages and disadvantages to each way, have redeemed it), but not too localized. This should probably be reopened.
Apr 13	reviewed	No Action Needed unable to load windows or its drives. Data in those drive is important
Apr 13	reviewed	Looks Good Can't boot ubuntu, not even in safe mode
Apr 13	reviewed	Looks Good Netflix-desktop no longer works after update
