One of the things that makes him great is he brings it every night.   I'm pretty sure it should be that make him in the plural, because one of the things is referring to a lot of things and a lot of things should take a plural verb. But I always hear native speakers in America say it in the singular, so with an s.  Another example:     This is one of the responsibilities that comes with greatness and he understands that.   Native speakers always use the verb in the singular (here, comes) even though [I believe] it is grammatically incorrect to use the singular form of the verb there.
If I am talking to somebody about a certain group of people in the third person, and then want to refer to the person I am talking with as one of those people, which do I say?     One of them were you      One of them was you.
Poll on best VNC / remote desktop software for assisting others on Windows/Mac machines from Ubuntu?    I've heard good things about TeamViewer and Fog Creek Copilot, but I'm wondering if the included GNOME Vinaigre VNC client is good enough for this.  To specify, I'm looking for best option based on:   SIMPLEST ease-of-use for client to download/use on their end. See #1. Works cross-platform I am able to control client's mouse and/or keyboard from remote machine. Is $n^{th}$ root of $2$ an irrational number?

Origin/reason for the expression "on the bus" instead of "in the bus" Characterization convex function. Let $f:[0,1]\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function such that for all $a,b\in [0,1]$ with $a&lt;b$ $$f\left(\frac{a+b}{2}\right)\leq\frac{1}{b-a}\int_a^b f(x)\,dx.$$ How to prove that $f$ is a convex function?

I don't know what .pem and .csr stands for?  I do know that .key is the private key and .crt is the public key. Of Half-elven and mortal life When half-elvens choose mortal life, how would their bodies behave?  Half-elven are always elves by nature. Ever since they're born, their physical body and behaviour would be elvish - they have keen senses, they don't get physically weary, no illness, and so on.  Half-elvens are then offered a choice - Immortal elvish lives or mortal fate of men. When they choose the latter, like Elros and Arwen did, what would happen to their elvish nature? Would they lose it? I don't think they would lose their pointy ears, but what about the other elvish features that I mentioned before?  Are there any canonical references? If $A \in M_{n}(\Bbb{R})$ is an Upper triangular matrix with diagonal entries $1$ such that  $A \neq I$, then what can we say about the diagonalizability of $A$ ?  I know that if the matrix has distinct eigenvalues or the set of eigenvectors are linearly independent then the matrix is diagonalizable.  And that the eigenvalues of the triangular matrices are given by the diagonal elements like  and , but they work nocely if we had distinct elements on the main diagonal.  But in my case I have same value 1 on the main diagonal, how can I approach about the diagonalizability of the matrix? Proving that $f(x)$ is less than or equal to $1+\pi/4$ Suppose $f$ is a real valued differentiable function defined on $[1,\infty)$ with $f(1)=1$. Suppose also that $f$ satisfies $$f'(x)=\frac{1}{x^2+f^2(x)}.$$ The question is to prove that $f(x) \leq 1+\pi/4$ for every $x \geq 1$    I tried to solve the differential equation but could not bring it in some known form. I examined the derivative of $\tan^{-1}x$ which looks similar to that  in the question. However I could not get any idea with that. Any help shall be highly appreciated. Thanks. I have a list of integers, List&lt;Integer&gt; and I'd like to convert all the integer objects into Strings, thus finishing up with a new List&lt;String&gt;.  Naturally, I could create a new List&lt;String&gt; and loop through the list calling String.valueOf() for each integer, but I was wondering if there was a better (read: more automatic) way of doing it? Can SMT give worse performance than normal CPU? I need to include a couple of Python code listings, where the indentation of the lines (using some number of spaces) is significant. I would like for the code listings to be copyable, so the spaces at the beginning of the line need to be be copied along with the text.  This question has been asked in various ways before (e.g. , or ). Those questions focus on making line numbers uncopyable, though.  Making the spaces at the beginning of a line copyable seems to be harder: "I am not sure it is possible to specify in the PDF (at least in a viewer-independent way) that the indentation should be copied too" (). At , Philippe Goutet suggests a solution (turning the spaces into visible spaces, and coloring them in the background color so that they appear invisible) that works using Acrobat Reader, but not all readers. He says "It works under Acrobat Reader and it's extremely pleasant to be able to quickly copy/paste code without problem (perhaps the problem can be circumvented by writing direct PDF code to tell that it's a space, I've never had the time to try)".  Is it possible to produce a PDF with a code listing with copyable real spaces at the beginning of a line?  Minimal example: The line return x should start with four spaces.  \documentclass{article}  \begin{document} \begin{verbatim} def myfunction(x):     return x \end{verbatim} \end{document}   I know that I could attach the code to the PDF as a file, but that's not what I want. Why do I get 'UnknownHostException: session.minecraft.net' when attempting to log in to Minecraft servers? $ KC $ spaces imply $ US $ spaces , but vise versa is false. Magic leaves "smudges" and a sorceress becomes a book I could use some help identifying a book I read some time in the last year or so. The book goes between two different stories:  1) A student of magic finds a book in a cave that turns out to be a person transformed into a book. The book talks to the student and they share thoughts. At some point, the student runs away, chase ensues, and at the very end of the book, he manages to travel to another plane.  2) A girl in a religious society where magic is forbidden. She is the daughter of painters. She discovers she can see magic. Falls in love with some random painter, risks performing magic to not be pregnant, does it again so she can, and is arrested and sent to some prison thing.  The common element between the stories is that magic use leaves behind a smudge of some kind that can be visible.  Any assistance is appreciated. Waiting for a file to be created in C# I am currently working to design a flash virtual tour, but I know little about how the photographs are taken.  Ideally I'd like to be able to take a set of 6 shots from a single focal point, and be able to align them seamlessly into a cube form. The other solution is to take a special fisheye image, and stretch it dynamically in flash.  I've seen examples of both as virtual tours, and ones formatted as a rotating cube are more responsive and have a higher image quality. The airbus and Cruden Homes are definitely in the cube format, I'm not entirely certain which format the New York VT uses:        I have a set of questions, the first is the most important, the others may become separate questions if I don't get an answer here:   How are those photos taken? Is there a specific mount that can be used? How long does it take to set up? How much post-processing is necessary on the images? For any prime number $p$, let $A_p$ be the set of integers $d\in \{1,2,\dots, 999\}$ s. Then what is the cardinality of $A_p$? Can gravity be interpreted as the acceleration of spacetime towards an object? Greetings StackExchange!  We were having a conversation with a peer about stupid ways of interpreting theories. We would go to and fro with an interpretations, but we would always find a way to disprove them. There was one, however, that we couldn't refute:  Gravity on a plane in a bidimensional space can be interpreted as the acceleration of spacetime towards an object.   We tried to invalidate in saying that the inertial mass and gravitational mass would be different, thus violating GR, but after some thought this couldn't be. The gravitational mass would accelerate spacetime towards it. If that object we were to be pushed, the pulling of spacetime would make it difficult for it to move.   We know for a fact this can't be true, and we would greatly appreciate any refutation of this thought. I can clarify if needed, or do a sketch. I apologise in advance as I'm not a native speaker.
