Why did Dumbledore drink the potion in the attempt to get a Horcrux? When Albus Dumbledore  finally reaches the island with Harry Potter and finds out that you can't get near the potion, he made a cup and drank it. Why couldn't he just have poured the potion on the "floor"? Why couldn't he have made a big cup to hold almost everything inside the basin? Message appearing when a user was removed.     It seems I lost 1765 reputation points on Stack Overflow yesterday. The reason given in my history is "removed", with the description of "User was removed ()". I don't understand what that means. What caused this? I want to write a conditional expression such as the following.    What is the best way to express such conditional expressions in Latex? The  EU book The Rise and Fall of Darth Vader reveals that Vader personally gave the stormtroopers the order to kill Owen and Beru Lars, and that he knew who he was condemning to death before he gave the order:  “Lord Vader,” said one of the sandtroopers, adjusting a control on his helmet so that only Vader could hear his voice.  “The Jawas sold a protocol droid and an astromech to these moisture farmers, but both droids are gone.” Moisture farmers? Intrigued, Vader examined the holograms of the kneeling couple and said, “The farmers’ names?” “Owen and Beru Lars, sir,” the sandtrooper responded. “They say they don’t know where the droids are, but it looks like a landspeeder is missing from their garage.” Owen and Beru, Vader recalled... “Tell Mr. and Mrs. Lars that they seem to have trouble keeping protocol droids on their property.”1 Not certain if he had heard correctly, the sandtrooper said, “Sir?” “Then you may extend to them every courtesy that you showed the Jawas before you continue your search. Establish checkpoints to detain any droids entering Mos Espa or Mos Eisley spaceports. And one more thing.” “Yes, Sir?” “Do not stop transmitting until I break the connection.” “Understood,” said the sandtrooper. Vader watched the sandtroopers carry out his orders on their helpless victims. He found the sight of rising flames — even holograms of flames burning millions of light years away — to be most satisfying.  I had always assumed that the stormtroopers killed the Larses on their own initiative, or in accordance with a previously given order.  The version of events in this book is interesting, but it raises the question of why it took Vader so long to figure out who Luke was. In canon, who gave the order to kill Owen and Beru Lars?  If Vader was involved, did he recognize the couple before he gave the order?  1 A reference to the fact that Anakin took C-3PO from the Lars homestead the last time he was on Tatooine, without informing the Larses that he would do so. An inequality from Littlewood's Miscellany Why was Gotham City changed from a mostly fictional city to New York City in the Nolan trilogy? In Batman Begins, Gotham City has a futuristic/fictional and run down look: think of Oldtown, the trains built by the Wayne Corporation etc.   In The Dark Knight Rises, Gotham City looks like plain old real world New York City — we don't see the trains anymore. Oldtown is just a standard poor neighborhood. Lots of the locations used in the movie are easily identified as real world NYC locations: the stock exchange or East River bridges for example.   My question is: Why did Nolan change Gotham city from a shady fictional more cartoon-like town to plain old NYC?   Edit: The examples from Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises were just for illustration; I didn't intend to limit the question to those two movies.  Edit 2: I specifically want to know why Gotham City was changed from a cartoon-like city in Begins to an almost real-world NYC in The Dark Knight Rises (via not so cartoon-like but not yet real-world like Chicago in The Dark Knight Rises). Why it's NYC or Chicago is not so important for me. But why, e.g., were the trains which featured prominently in Begins gone in The Dark Knight Rises? There was only a very short in-universe time-span between the events of the two movies, yet Gotham changed drastically. How to open a web page from my application? I want to make my WPF application open the default browser and go to a certain web page.  How do I do that? Drawing visibility polygons in Unity (for vision cones with occlusion) I'm currently trying to create an effect like the one displayed below in Unity:    However, it seems that I can't do this with any of Unity's built-in light objects, and I simply cannot find anything online that talks about this. Is there a way to achieve this in Unity? 2D or 3D solutions are fine, as I'm sure that they're both very similar to each other, pyPdf for IndirectObject extraction Following this example, I can list all elements into a pdf file  import pyPdf pdf = pyPdf.PdfFileReader(open("pdffile.pdf")) list(pdf.pages) # Process all the objects. print pdf.resolvedObjects   now, I need to extract a non-standard object from the pdf file.   My object is the one named MYOBJECT and it is a string.  The piece printed by the python script that concernes me is:  {'/MYOBJECT': IndirectObject(584, 0)}   The pdf file is this:  558 0 obj &lt;&lt;/Contents 583 0 R/CropBox[0 0 595.22 842]/MediaBox[0 0 595.22 842]/Parent 29 0 R/Resources   &lt;&lt;/ColorSpace &lt;&lt;/CS0 563 0 R&gt;&gt;     /ExtGState &lt;&lt;/GS0 568 0 R&gt;&gt;     /Font&lt;&lt;/TT0 559 0 R/TT1 560 0 R/TT2 561 0 R/TT3 562 0 R&gt;&gt;     /ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageC]     /Properties&lt;&lt;/MC0&lt;&lt;/MYOBJECT 584 0 R&gt;&gt;/MC1&lt;&lt;/SubKey 582 0 R&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;     /XObject&lt;&lt;/Im0 578 0 R&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;   /Rotate 0/StructParents 0/Type/Page&gt;&gt; endobj ... ... ... 584 0 obj &lt;&lt;/Length 8&gt;&gt;stream  1_22_4_1     ---&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;  this is the string I need to extract from the object  endstream endobj   How can I follow the 584 value in order to refer to my string (under pyPdf of course)?? Why couldn't Bond have backup at the battle of Skyfall? I think I am missing a key plot point here.   Bond had to fake-kidnap M and bring her to Skyfall in order to lure Silva there for one last stand. Why did this have to be a secret from his colleagues at MI6? Why couldn't there have been other agents there to help defend the house and take down Silva?  Also, why did he have to have Q lay a fake trail to get Silva to follow him to Skyfall when he was actually going there, and he wanted Silva to follow him? How to prove that exponential grows faster than polynomial? I am considering to use iCloud Photo Library to store a growing number of family photo albums, shared to web or set of AppleIDs.  I dont need to keep original photos on iDevices for 99.9% of photos.  How much space will be used on the photo-originating set of devices (iOS, OS X, Windows)? I.e. what (roughly) is the function from the original size and number of photos, device storage space available, any other variables? What's a quick way of copying the path to the directory that's currently open in Finder?   Copying that path is very easy in Linux and Windows file managers - you just need to copy it from the address bar. I don't see a corresponding option in Finder.

Interpolating functions returned by NDSolve do not plot I'm working with Beamer and I would like to create boxes with round corners. I use \ovalbox, but I would like to control the thickness of the line. How can I do this? I also tried \thinlines, but I still not understand the sintax since I didn't find a minimal example. Why does `type which` say that `which is hashed`? Is there a way to insert Keyboard Glyphs in Google Docs? Here on the StackExchange framework we have a nice feature, which is apparently called "Keyboard Glyphs" (cf. ):     CTRL+Z   Is there a way (e.g. with an Add-On) to do the same in Google Docs? I browsed the Add-Ons but did not find anything, maybe it's hidden somewhere different (e.g. in a Code Formatting Plugin).
