Isn't this localized to every single computer? How do we know who's logged in? How do we know if your OS cares about (or defines) "root access"? Why is this Blender-specific? If you had a problem with privileges when installing Blender, modify your question to include more environment details, asking "Why can't I install in this environment?" – RustyTheBoyRobot Aug 9 '12 at 17:10

	Your question is a bit vague. "when the second one is rolling in the BGE" implies that the first gear is in "render space", which I am pretty sure is not your intent. Please clarify your question. – InkBlend Dec 31 '12 at 18:18

The new wireframe modifier might be of use to you, though it's not appropriate for all situations, as far as I can tell. I was going to ask a similar (identical) question: is there an easy way to transform every edge into a cylinder, like wireframe does, but without requiring that the edges be part of a face? – Tarrosion Jan 10 '13 at 12:39

	Questions that deal with `up to date` material are usually not good SE questions because they require maintenance to stay up to date. Also questions that sound like `where can I find?` are also usually bad questions, because the link(s) are pertinent to the question itself and links quite often become broken. – John Jan 14 '13 at 4:46
	@John The answer(s) would not necessarily need to link to external resources. This could be a maintained 'canonical' post which lists all shortcuts for all versions. Not sure if that would be considered as off-topic. – stacker Jan 14 '13 at 10:10
	@stacker the wording `where can I find` implies that the answer requires a link to where you can find your solution. In order to fully answer the question, the answer would have to include a link. – John Jan 14 '13 at 23:28

when doing what? Fluid simulations? Something else? Could you be more specific? – Hamlet Sep 23 '12 at 21:55

This is a really broad question and might be very specific to each user. I think a better question would be "I am a beginner to Blender. How do I do [simple operation X]?" or something similar. Being specific creates good questions. – RustyTheBoyRobot Aug 9 '12 at 17:03

@RustyTheBoyRobot However, in order to ask how to do [simple operation X], you need to be aware of that operation X exists and that it is simple. You need to know a list of possible simple operations first. – naxa Jan 14 '13 at 21:13

@Filip - Sorry, this just seems way too broad. I think a question that says "How can I do [X] in Blender's Python scripting API?" would get real answers. As it is, this is just a long list that would duplicate the API documentation. – RustyTheBoyRobot Oct 15 '12 at 2:29

I think this question is subjective. If you change the wording (i.e. remove the word best), You might have a good question there. – American Luke Jun 23 '12 at 14:57

This might be an OK community wiki question, as lots of other sites have similar questions. – Hamlet Jul 2 '12 at 18:54

Ask Ubuntu has quite a few such questions, few of which are locked or even closed. – hexafraction Sep 25 '12 at 0:09
