I have  in play, which allows me to pay 2 life to return a Sliver to my hand.  My opponent controls an Eldrazi with annihilator 2 and attacks, making me sacrifice 2 permanents.  Can I sacrifice 2 Slivers and then, before the sacrifice resolves, return them to my hand with , so I don't have to sacrifice anything and only have to pay 4 life?
It was suggested to me recently that Annihilator sacrifices (such as 's) are only chosen during resolution, rather than while they're going on the stack.  Do I choose those sacrifices during resolution? What part of the comprehensive rules backs that up?  I can't find any clarity on the internet, in the rules, on the MTG Salvation wiki for Annihilator, or in the ability's rulings. It seems reasonable, but I'd like to know what's behind it. Plus, if I can choose and then later  some stuff, all the better.

I have very little knowledge of SharePoint, and want to learn about SharePoint 2013.  Most of the resources that I've found are either about what's new in 2013, or they have a bunch of links to SharePoint 2010.  I also don't have the time to read a thousand page book.  A hundred or so would be fine.  Can anyone recommend a resource (site / book / video / tutorial) for a beginner to learn the basics of SharePoint 2013 in a few days?  I've downloaded a Kindle book, "Getting Started With SharePoint 2013."  It's perfect for absolute beginners, who just want to know how to upload &amp; download documents, but I'm looking for more than that.

I don’t actually need to run the command below, and I am aware of ssh keys if I did want to log in without typing a password. I would just like to know how ssh seems to circumvent my file redirection.  Running the following command, ssh prompts me for a password:  ssh nobody@192.168.1.151 &gt; /dev/null 2&gt; /dev/null &lt; /dev/null   How does this work? stdin, stdout, and stderr are all redirected, but ssh still manages to print a prompt on my screen and read what I type. I tried adding the ssh arguments -t -t and -T (not both at once), to enable or disable pseudo-tty allocation, but it made no difference.  I also tried closing all input and output this way, although I don’t know if I typed it correctly. Still, ssh prompts for a password:  (exec 0&lt;&amp;- 1&lt;&amp;- 2&lt;&amp;- 0&gt;&amp;- 1&gt;&amp;- 2&gt;&amp;-; ssh nobody@192.168.1.151) I am working on setting up a Minecraft server on a machine I have at home. This particular machine has two quad-core CPUs running at 2.0Ghz so I would like to take advantage of the number of cores and run a server with 4 or 6 of the cores. My server of choice is CraftBukkit, the latest version of which is craftbukkit-1.4.7-R1.0 and launched with a start-up script of:  "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xms1G -Xmx8G -jar craftbukkit-1.4.7-R1.0.jar"   The  says:     Minecraft servers, as of 1.1.0, can use multiple cores, so now they will not sit idle.   but does not really expand on this.  My questions, then:   Is it possible to set the number of cores the server uses? How do I do it - via start-up options, or other methods? Is it really worth it and would it make that much of a difference with a lot of players? not working in Phonegap app on Android 2.3.3 Overriding the final destination of the OAuth2.0 flow from a custom OAuth2.0 Auth provider Background:  I have created a custom Auth. Provider in Salesforce to reach out to an authorization server that isn't on the default list of Provider Types. I used  as a good starting point to extend the Auth.AuthProviderPluginClass. Once appropriately added to my org, it then became an option on the list of Provider Types. I was able to create an Auth. Provider using that new provider type and it works to initiate the OAuth2.0 flow. I am appropriately able to get the access token and refresh token from the authorization server.  The Problem:  As it currently stands, we will have users click on a button that will send them to the provided "OAuth-Only Initialization URL" link that was generated when I created the actual Auth. Provider record. The trick is that when the OAuth2.0 flow is completed, the user is redirected back to the Salesforce Setup Home page, and I don't see a good way in the documentation to override the final destination to be something else (like a success page or something).  Question:  Does anyone know of a way to override the final destination of the OAuth2.0 flow from a custom OAuth2.0 Auth provider?    UPDATE: I tried using the startUrl (and also tried retUrl for good measure) as query params, but doing so didn't change the behavior after the OAuth2.0 flow finished.  Meaning, both of the following URLs gave me the same final destination as not having any query params at all:  https://&lt;scratch org random url&gt;.my.salesforce.com/services/auth/oauth/MyCustomAuthProvider?retUrl=lightning%2Fpage%2Fhome   https://&lt;scratch org random url&gt;.my.salesforce.com/services/auth/oauth/MyCustomAuthProvider?startUrl=lightning%2Fpage%2Fhome     Another Update: This WORKED:  https:/&lt;scratch org random url&gt;.my.salesforce.com/services/auth/oauth/MyCustomAuthProvider?startURL=%2Flightning%2Fn%2FCustomPage   Apparently, it was important to add the leading /, (of course, url encoded to be %2F) and %2Flightning%2Fpage%2Fhome gets interpreted as the setup home and sends you there.

I failed to notice that all this time there was no sound at all while running Ubuntu, even while playing a game in Wine. The weird thing is that only the startup sound comes when I log in (Indian/African drum tone), then comes the utter silence.

Show that $\sum_\limits{n=0}^{\infty} a_n^2$ converges.   This is in the section on the Comparison Test so that must be what I'm supposed to use.  But I don't see how.  $(a_n)^2$ might be smaller or larger than $a_n$ depending on $a_n$.  And I can't use the Comparison Test with some other series because there's no info here about how fast $\sum a_n$ converges.  Hmm.  Any hints? calculate slope for a road network I am working on a road network for routing operations using postgis and QGIS.    I am new to both of these tools and need to calculate the slope for each edge (by retrieving the Z value for the start and end node for the edge from a raster). Any ideas of the best approach to this?   I know postgis can dump points and get the value from a raster, but can I get the slope attribute to the edge without breaking the network topology (with edges that have corresponding start/end nodes) using this method?   thanks I'm writing a contribution for a double-blind submission system.   Since I would like to supply more data than I could show on a small number of pages, I'm looking for a way to reference supplemental data in my manuscript, such as software scripts, figures or databases.  I could upload on GitHub, RPubs, Figshare and Zenodo, but all of these would expose my real user name (and I don't feel like making a throwaway e-mail account with a new repository for every anonymous publication that I intend to write).  Is there any way to get the above services to do what I want? Or is there a similar service that would allow anonymous hosting of research data?   It would be even better if I could later (e.g. after publication) declassify the information, with the link from the manuscript still being intact. This is a follow-up to this question:   Hans Bethe wrote a paper in 1944, "Theory of Diffraction by Small Holes," Phys. Rev. 66, 163. I don't have access to the paper, but from descriptions online it sounds like he proved the following. Suppose a plane wave impinges on an absorbing sheet, and there is a hole in the sheet of diameter $d$, with $d&lt;\lambda$. Let $P_0$ be the power incident on the hole, and $P$ the power diffracted through the hole. Then the transmission is $T=P/P_0=(d/\lambda)^4$.  As a practical application, I think this explains why microwaves don't leak strongly through the metal grille in the front of a microwave oven.  Questions:   Does the thickness of the sheet matter? From references online, it sounds like the hole is treated as a waveguide...? This seems to relate to cutoff frequencies of waveguides, etc.? It seems to me that Huygens' principle would give $T=1$ for $d\ll\lambda$, since in this limit the wavelets are in phase. Why is Huygens' principle invalid here? Is this related to question #1? Is there a simple argument for the proportionality to $(d/\lambda)^4$? Or if not, how does one prove this using the gory details of Bessel functions, etc.?
