I have been copying from class text to a blade on Sharelatex, and it seems the teachers use the symbol (\!) a lot.  \sin\!\left(x\right)=\frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}} \cos\!\left(\frac{\pi }{12}\right)   Why do they need to use the symbol for exclamation mark(!) ?
I have noticed that I hardly ever use the \negthinspace command  \!.  This is because I don't know how to use it properly (I do use other spacing commands quite a bit, because I can better understand the guidelines of when they might be useful). When might it be considered appropriate to use this spacing command?
I have a ASUS R500A notebook.Original OS is Windows 7 64bit.Few days ago I tried to Install Windows 8.1 64 bit version.But it failed &amp; error message is,     windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style.   My Steps: First i Deleted C: Partition ( Already installed windows 7 ). Then i Formatted that partition. Tried to install Windows 8.1 64bit.  In this hard disk i have another several partitions with Important data.  How do i Install Windows 8.1 without loosing Data from the Other partitions ? I am a computer scientist, and one of my professors today used the symbol $\propto$. I tried to search that using google, but it returns no results, and I do not even know its name.  So, I would like to ask, what does the operator $\propto$ mean? What is its name, and how is it used? jQuery not working in Wordpress 3.5 Proving surjectivity of $\cos(z)$ and $\sin(z)$ and find all $z : \cos(z) \in \mathbb R$ and all $z: \sin(z) \in \mathbb R$ Struct padding in C++ Why do you lose reputation for downvoting answers? While drawing a simple 3D (fake 3D in fact) cube, I realized that the corners end up with unwanted extensions of the line. I understand this is related to the width of the lines themselves, but how can I remove them? An alternative solution of drawing the desired figure is also welcomed.  Example:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{tikz}   \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}  \draw[draw=black,fill=gray!20] (0,0) --(4.8,0)-- (4.8,5)--(0, 5)--cycle; \draw[draw=black,fill=gray!20] (4.8,5) -- (4.9,4.8)--(4.9,-0.1)--(4.8,0)--cycle; \draw[draw=black,fill=gray!20] (0,0) -- (0.1,-0.1)--(4.9,-0.1)--(4.8,0)--cycle; \draw[dashed,draw=black] (4.8,5) -- (4.9,4.8)--(0.1,4.8)--(0.,5)--cycle; \draw[dashed,draw=black] (0.1,-0.1)--(0.1,4.8)--(0.,5)--(0,0)--cycle; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} I updated to Ubuntu 20.04. When I use the default terminal, everything is fine. But if try to use terminator, I cannot use sudo. I get permission denied. Again, only when using terminator.  How can I sudo from the terminator? I really would like to continue to use a terminator.  Edit: I just also noted that it cannot find make either. I guess it's all messed up. I'll try to uninstall it and install again I guess. QGIS 2.99 "qgis._core import error: DLL load failed" I am trying to run a standalone application. However, it does not run the program because of mentioned error in title.

How much hard disk space should be needed for Xbox 360? I want to get a 360 and don't know wether to get the bigger (250GB), newer, more expensive Elite, or get one of the older, smaller (120GB), last gen ones.

Use a execute command once I am curious about whether $|x|^p$ with $0&lt;p&lt;1$ satisfy $|x+y|^p\leq|x|^p+|y|^p$ for $x,y\in\mathbb{R}$.   So far my trials show that this seems to be right... So can anybody confirm whether this is right or wrong and give a proof or counterexample? Did spacetime start with the Big bang? Did spacetime start with the Big Bang?  I mean, was there any presence of this spacetime we are experiencing now before big bang? And could there be a presence/existence of any other space-time before the big bang? I'm a bit confused in describing 1.5hrs in words.   Is writing one and a half an hour correct or should it be one and half hour?  E.g:     I'll see you there in one and a half an hour.     OR       I'll see you there in one and half hour.   Or is there any other correct way of writing this? Why should a CTE start with a semi-colon? I was just looking at a post on  where Aaron Bertrand proposes using a CTE instead of a numbers table, which is an elegant way of performing the task at hand.  My question is, why does the first line of the CTE begin with a semi-colon?    ;WITH n AS (SELECT TOP (10000) n FROM    (SELECT n = ROW_NUMBER() OVER     (ORDER BY s1.[object_id])     FROM sys.all_objects AS s1     CROSS JOIN sys.all_objects AS s2   ) AS x ORDER BY n ) SELECT n FROM n ORDER BY n; -- look ma, no gaps!   Is this to ensure the WITH statement does not get parsed into a previous SELECT or something?  I see nothing in SQL Server 2005 BOL about using a semi-colon prior to the WITH. Sync +- 70 000 records from CSV into drupal I have a CSV file with approx. 70.000 records that I want to import into Drupal 7. Once this is done the client will provide a new CSV file on a daily base that has to sync the updated rows to Drupal.   I wrote a import with  and the  module, but in both cases it takes like forever to import the 70.000 rows. Is there any other solution to import the data faster in Drupal 7? We're all familair with this beautiful proof whether or not an irrational number to an irrational power can be rational. It goes something like this:  Take $(\sqrt{2})^{\sqrt{2}}$  If it's rational, then you proved it, if it's irrational, take $((\sqrt{2})^{\sqrt{2}} ){^\sqrt{2}} = 2$ and you've proved it.  I'm wondering if you can raise $\pi$ or $e$ to a certain non-trivial real power to make it rational? And if not, where is the proof that it can't be done?   p.s. - I almost left out the real part, but then I realized that $e^{i\pi} = -1$. Install Alongside Windows or Something Else - Which should I use? I have old notebook with BIOS (not EFI) installed with Windows 8 RTM, want to install Ubuntu 12.10 by booting to a LiveCD.
