Three scenarios:   I right click in a folder and choose "new folder". Windows does not show me the new subfolder, as would be expected. To get Windows to actually show me the subfolder I just created, I have to manually refresh, at which point the new subfolder will appear with the default "New folder" name. (If I at this point attempt to rename the new folder, I'll often have to refresh again to make Windows show me the updated name, see below.)   Or:   I rename a file or folder. Once I press enter, Windows continues to display the old name until I manually refresh the folder.   Or:   I copy one or more files into a folder. None of the files actually appear until I manually refresh the folder.   This happens all the time in Windows 7 and 8, and is quite the annoyance. As far as I can remember, nothing like this ever happened while I used Windows XP. Is there a way to fix this behaviour?
When I create a folder or copy files, after the operation finishes I have to manually refresh the Explorer window (F5). For example, when I create a folder, I don't see the "New Folder" until I hit F5.  Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Suppose $X$ is binomial $B(n,p)$. How can I find the probability that $X$ is even ?  I know $$P(X = k ) = \frac{ n!}{(n-k)!k!} p^k(1-p)^{n-k} $$  where $X=1,....,n$. Are they just asking to find $P(X = 2m )$ for some $m &gt; 0$ ? Find $f$ if $$ f(x)+f\left(\frac{1}{1-x}\right)=x $$ I think, that I have to find x that $f(x) = f\left(\frac{1}{1-x}\right)$ I've tried to put x which make $x = \frac{1}{1 - x}$, but this equation has no roots in real numbers.

Is the shape due to its elasticity or something? Generate random numbers uniformly over an entire range Would depositing large cash amounts cause problems? I saw  recently where a man withdrew $600,000 USD in cash from his bank.  I'm sure many folks here would advise against this move for obvious (and perhaps not-so-obvious) reasons.   My question: suppose you did this and then, some months later, changed your mind and wanted to re-deposit with a bank.  I assume the gent cannot simply walk into a bank with $600,000 USD and deposit it, right?  Wouldn't money-laundering alarms be raised?  Wouldn't the IRS like to know where the money came from?

A universe of Greek gods/goddesses, set in modern time.    The gods steal Titans and force them to assume the form of infants/children, and raise them as mundanes in a boarding school type situation.  The protagonist is a young woman who discovers she can travel through the fourth and fifth dimensions as her power.  Her companions: a fey, can travel by unseen ways to various locations; a boy-shaman raised under the traditions of science, can cause anything he wants to happen simply by wishing it and tries to recreate the Michelson–Morley experiment. She ultimately discovers the true nature of the universe she is in and that the deities all follow some sort of rock-papers-scissors system where each deity has a corresponding type which he is weak to, and strong against.

Is there a SATA cable which can connect to multiple disks? I have a motherboard with just few SATA slots but have to put quite few hard disks in the box, so naturally I easily ran out of free slots.  I wonder if there are forked cables (I have no idea what would be the name for these cables) so I can connect multiple hard disks to a single SATA slot on the motherboard?  PS. Speed is not essential here as all disks contain archived data. "Nobody want to go there," or "nobody wants to go there"? In English, the number 0 is treated as plural. It is then:   0 seconds 1 second    1.2 seconds   2 seconds     Shouldn't it be "nobody want to go there," instead of "nobody wants to go there"?  I also saw in TOEFL that "any __" should be used with a singular.  But I see it very common that it is a plural also.  Why is that?  (updated: example, "we don't have any apples any more" vs "If you get any apple, please let me know.")

Arguments for/against same birthday for siblings? My son is born on October 1st three years ago. My wife is pregnant again and the calculated delivery date is October 22nd. Both children are boys, 3 years apart. We might end in a situation where the delivery is earlier, for reasons irrelevant to this question.   I believe that around their birthdays is the only time in the whole year that the actual date matters. It really does boil down to practical considerations around patience (gifts) and planning. I think that if there is, say, a week or more between the birthdays then it's easy to separate but if the difference is only a very few days then it gets complicated, and that's the situation I'd like to avoid.  I know from friends that having the same birthday makes events easier to plan, from the parents' perspective. It would also remove the unhappiness of a small child saying "why does he get presents today and I don't." Being a twin, and married to one, I know that there's nothing problematic in sharing a birthday as long as both get their fair share of attention.    What are practical arguments for, and against, choosing the same birthday for the second child? What considerations apply when the second child's birthday is only a very few days after the elder sibling's?
