I was trying to take a long exposure photo during the daytime (my first attempt at doing so), details for settings given below, but on LCD, I couldn't see any object, it was all white, as in like lot of light entered. Can anyone please help me taking this shot right?   Camera: Canon 550D or T2i Mode: Manual Aperture: f/22 Shutter: 1/30 s Lens: 15-55mm Time of day: 6:00 PM, it was bright daylight   My intent is to basically learn how to take long exposure photo in daytime, irrespective of the location and whatever.
I would like to take a picture of a street during the day to depict how much traffic and cars there are on the street.  Is there anyway to do this with a long exposure photograph?  I have a Nikon D90 and I set the f stop down to 1/16 (the lowest of my lens) and set the time to 2 seconds. Doing this, the exposure is almost saturated when taken around 5pm with the sun setting behind a tree. Doing this, the cars passing by were very hard to make out against the stationary background, being visible as a blur in the color of the car.  Perhaps this is not possible and I should just do this at night where the cars lights are much brighter than the background.  Please suggest how else I might depict the traffic in a photograph?  Are daytime long exposure photographs even possible?
Escaping quotes in zsh alias Following on from  about stripping newlines out of text, I want to turn this into a zsh alias as follows:  alias striplines=' awk " /^$/ {print \"\n\"; } /./ {printf( \" %s \",$0);}"'   I've tried escaping the quotes inside the awk script, but I'm getting this error:  awk: (FILENAME=bspsrobustness FNR=1) fatal: division by zero attempted   (The file is called bspsrobustness)  Is there a way to do what I want? I suppose I could turn this into an awk script rather than a zsh alias, is that my best option? Some things I know:  omega_1 is the first uncountable ordinal, made up of all of the countable ordinals f is not necessarily continuous    For this proof, I currently have x as a condensation point in my range, and I know that (x - (1/n) , x + (1/n) ) is uncountable and everything to the left and right of this interval is countable. I understand that I want to shrink this interval small enough just to x (which will be my constant), making everything around x eventually countable. I also understand that this will eventually make all of the elements in omega_1 go to x but I am having a hard time seeing where my contradiction comes in. I also am struggling with writing this proof in a presentable fashion.   Thank you!

QUESTION: What is the significance of starting the Fibonacci sequence with $0,1$ ?  For instance, if I picked any two random integers, say 2 and 7, to start a sequence would I actually be creating some multiple or derivation of the Fibonacci sequence?  Is there a general mathematical explanation for the relationship between any sequence represented by $a[0] = x, a[1] = y, a[n] = a[n-1] + a[n-2]$ and the Fibonacci sequence?  Or, back to my example sequence, is there a general mathematical relationship between:  $2,7,9,16,25,41,66,107,173,280...$  and  $0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34...$  Perhaps the Golden Ratio explains it somehow?  Any help would be appreciated.

I've read  and , and a few more articles.  I have enabled in BIOS what looks like it has to do with hardware virtualisation - "Intel Virtual Technology" (is this VMX?). No signs of EPT or XD.  I've got the four Hyper-V items in the enumeration that msinfo32 shows.  However, in the 'Control Panel/Programs and Features/Turn on|off windows features' list, I don't have Hyper-V.  Is this available at all on my machine, and if not what can I do to get it working?  Thanks in advance. Old usernames stick to Community Wiki posts On a whim the other day, I changed my meta name from Lord Torgamus to Popular Demand.  I just noticed that the old name has "stuck" to the author tag of ; everywhere else on meta, my new name displays as expected.  Is this a feature?  Is it a bug?  Mostly I'm just curious, as I can't think of a strong reason in favor of keeping this behavior or a strong reason for changing it.  A question somewhat like this has been raised before as , but the previous poster implied that the issue had something to do with migration, which my situation shows is not the case. I have a  beautiful  inequality, but I can only prove part of cases. Given any positive real numbers $a,b,c$, we have   $$(a^{2}+2)(b^{2}+2)(c^{2}+2)\geq 9(ab+bc+ca)$$  How can we prove this statement? Can a spell scroll be upcast using a higher-level spell slot? For example,  says:  You create three glowing darts of magical force. Each dart hits a creature of your choice that you can see within range. A dart deals 1d4 + 1 force damage to its target. The darts all strike simultaneously, and you can direct them to hit one creature or several. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the spell creates one more dart for each slot level above 1st.  If a PC finds a scroll of Magic Missile, can it be cast as you would with a level 2 slot (and what are the conditions to do this)? Or will it always be level 1? Can a Paladin take levels of other classes? In 3.5 D&amp;D,  have severe restrictions on multiclassing:     Like a member of any other class, a paladin may be a multiclass character, but multiclass paladins face a special restriction. A paladin who gains a level in any class other than paladin may never again raise her paladin level, though she retains all her paladin abilities.   Because Pathfinder is based on 3.5 D&amp;D, do Pathfinder paladins face the same restriction? That is, if a Paladin multiclasses to say, a fighter, can she take another level of Paladin later on? Asymptotic expansion of $u_{n + 1} = \frac12 \arctan(u_n)$ Let's say I have a (comparatively) lovely-looking document in LaTeX, full of lovingly typeset, (relatively) complex equations. Now, let's say some barbarians come along one day and decide that the document has to be put into Microsoft Word (2007). ...after the usual mourning period associated with such events, let's say I value my job (more specifically, the bread it provides) enough to get all the text and tables formatted and references organised into the Word document. –...related questions  and – Now I'm looking at the equations with fear and dread. One option of course is to just lift screenshots from the original document, but this is painstaking if I need to refer to parts of the equation in the text. Also, I might need to edit equations on the fly. Anyone know of a free application which allows embedding LaTeX math into MS Word? I've looked at  and  which do roughly what I want... they build LaTeX images from source and embed them into the Word document, allowing to edit the source later... but both are commerical. ...any help in these troubling times will be greatly appreciated. EDIT: Just a note that  offers a 30-day free trial and is working out really nicely... but still, it's not free. Might be a good solution for those with short-term needs, or money. How do I clear keyboard/autocorrect history on the Galaxy s4? I let my younger cousins play on my S4 from time to time, but now I have found that all the words they have used are the first to come up when I use my phone to text. It has gotten quite irritating. Samsung seems to have very hard to find settings compared to my old Sony Ericsson so I cannot find where to get rid of the word history typed onto my phone's keyboard. Consider the surface $S$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ given by the graph of $f(x, y) = xy^2 − 2y^2 + e^x$ . Calculate the intersection point of the tangent planes to $S$ above $(x, y) = (0, 0), (0, 1)$, and $(0, 2)$.  Can someone guide me through solving this problem? I am confused on where to start because we didn't cover this in class. Thanks so much For $f :\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\displaystyle$ we have ${\lim_{n \to +\infty} f(x+n) =0}$ almost everywhere I want to show that for $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ Lebesgue integrable  $\displaystyle{\lim_{n \to +\infty} f(x+n) =0}$ almost everywhere.  It is clear to me that this statement is true and I have tried to prove it by contradiction, by assuming that either $\displaystyle{\lim_{n \to +\infty} f(x+n) =\infty}$ or$\displaystyle{\lim_{n \to +\infty} f(x+n) =K}$ with $K\in \mathbb{R}$ .  In the first case  we can follow that $|f|=\infty$ so that $\int_\mathbb{R}f=\infty$ and we have a contradiction.  In the other case we know that there must be an $a\in \mathbb{R}$ so that $\forall x&gt;a$ we have $f_+(x)&gt;K/2$ and by that:  $\int_{{\mathbb{R}}+}|f|&gt;\int_{\mathbb{R}_+}f_+=\int_{[0,a]}f_++ \int_{(a,\infty)}f_+&gt;\int_{[0,a]}f_++\int_{(a,\infty)}K/2=\infty$  Would this be enough to show the statement? Can I even make the assumption that the limit of $f(x+n)$ "exists"? Any hints would be great.
