I am trying to log into technic launcher but for some reason it wont let me.  I have reset my password and username but it still says that the info I'm using is an invalid credential.   I have tried old usernames and passwords.  I know I'm using the right info because I have reset my name and password to see if that fixes the problem.
We just got a new laptop (ASUS) though we did have a mac.  We are trying to log onto Mojang to download Minecraft and it keeps saying, "The username and password are not recognized."   We have done all the usual procedures; we have reset the password, we are using the email, not the username to sign in, and it looks like the minecraft login servers are working etc. etc.  We quit Minecraft on the old computer and shut off that computer thinking that was the issue.   Still, we can't get onto Mojang.  We are accessing mincraft through firefox and trying to download it to the new computer but we can't get into the account to do that!  What in the world could be the issue?
I was trying to solve a question of an entrance exam. I am completely stuck in the problem. I am not able to find idea how to proceed. Please help me.     Let $A$ be the set of twice continuously differentiable functions on the interval $[0, 1]$ and let $B = \{f \in A : f(0) = f(1) = 0, f'(0) = 2\}$. Find the value of $$\text{min}_{f\in B} \displaystyle \int_0^1 (f''(x))^2dx.$$    I am really sorry for not showing some effort from my side but I can not find ant way to proceed.  Please help me. Thnx in advance. Is there a specific term for a statement that uses words such that their precise meaning conveys a subtext contrary to the colloquial meaning?  For example, the joke in Men in Black:     Gentlemen, congratulations. You're everything we've come to expect   from years of government training.   where the precise use of the words conveys a sarcastic meaning (ie that the candidates are inept because that's what he's come to expect from government training).  I was going to use "irony" to describe this but then realized this is basically the opposite of irony - the use of words to convey their literal intention, when a nonliteral intention was expected.

Thank you very much for any help! I have an Ubuntu Server 10.10 32-bit in my home. I'm making SSH connections to it from my PC via Putty.  The problem is, sometimes I'm able to login seamlessly. However, sometimes it gives me an error like this: Network error: Connection refused.  Then, I dont't change anything, try to login a few times more, wait a while and try again. Sometimes I can log in, sometimes I cannot. It seems pretty random to me.  What can I do to solve this?  Edit:  And Sometimes, Putty gives Network error: Software caused connection abort error after displaying login as: text.

I am writing a code review and I could not figure this out by googling. Here is an example of the three formatting styles I tried to use (but none of them works as I would like):  Case 1  The task is to align the last line (see below) "In the first line you use camelCase..." with the last line above the numbered list. In my first attempt, I added a new line (empty line) after the second numbered list item, and then indented by 4 spaces:     Variable name casing: See  on "Snake Case". In Perl, we use "snake_case" instead of "camelCase", and be consistent. Example:   Line 14: my $testType  Line 18: my $right_frame   In the first line you use camelCase, whereas in the second you use     snake_case.     As you can see, this gives the correct indentation but it introduces a blank line above the first numbered item.  Case 2  In this case I do not add the blank line after the second numbered list item ( but still indent by 4 spaces ):     Variable name casing: See  on "Snake Case". In Perl, we use "snake_case" instead of "camelCase", and be consistent. Example:   Line 14: my $testType  Line 18: my $right_frame In the first line you use camelCase, whereas in the second you use     snake_case.      In this case the line is considered as part of the last list item  Case 3  In this case, I try to add two blank spaces (invisible) at the end of the second list item:     Variable name casing: See  on "Snake Case". In Perl, we use "snake_case" instead of "camelCase", and be consistent. Example:   Line 14: my $testType  Line 18: my $right_frame In the first line you use camelCase, whereas in the second you use     snake_case.      In this case the line is considered part of the second item, and hence not correctly indented.  How to achieve the correct indentation? Is it bad to use a pacifier?

Swing GUI doesn't wait for user input Clicking on the rep league lines that read like &quot;top 2% this quarter&quot; returns a 404 page. Example in point:  This report is split off as per request of Adam Lear from I am using the 2D Animation preset and so far every new scene I made had the same bright white background. Now my two latest scenes (created with 'copy settings') have a light grey background even though they are set to white. There's also no difference in surface, nodes or strength.  There are apparently exist different background shades with an off-white color but selecting the white one doesn't help either Second law of Newton for variable mass systems Frequently I see the expression  $$F = \frac{dp}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(mv) = \frac{dm}{dt}v + ma,$$ which can be applied to variable mass systems.  But I'm wondering if this derivation is correct, because the second law of Newton is formulated for point masses.   Furthermore if i change the inertial frame of reference, only $v$ on the right side of the formula $F = \frac{dm}{dt}v+ma$ will change, meaning that $F$ would be dependent of the frame of reference, which (according to me) can't be true.   I realize there exists a formula for varying mass systems, that looks quite familiar to this one, but isn't exactly the same, because the $v$ on the right side is there the relative velocity of mass expulsed/accreted. The derivation of that formula is also rather different from this one.   So my question is: is this formula, that I frequently encounter in syllabi and books, correct? Where lies my mistake. Dates and times: "on", "in", "at"? I’m often confused when I speak about times and dates. What is the rule for using on, in, and at in the following sentences?   I will do it ___ Tuesday.

Intersection of two parabolae Problem: Consider two parabolae such that their axes of symmetry form a right angle. Prove that all four points of intersection lie on a common circle (it is an assumption that there exist such four points). Could you help me obtain a non-algebraic solution? (The algebraic one I did is given below.)  Algebraic solution:  There is a very simple algebraic approach, just introduce a Cartesian coordinate system such that the parabolae are given by equations:  $$y = \alpha_1 x^2 + \beta_1 $$ $$x = \alpha_2 y^2 + \beta_2 $$  and by scaling, adding and simplifying we can get the following ordinary circle equation (the right-hand side is positive because parabolae intersect): $$ \left(x-\frac{1}{2\alpha_2}\right)^2 + \left(y - \frac{1}{2\alpha_1}\right)^2 = \frac{-\beta_1}{\alpha_1} + \frac{-\beta_2}{\alpha_2} + \left(\frac{1}{2\alpha_1}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{1}{2\alpha_2}\right)^2$$  Non-algebraic solution: ??

I'm fairly certain this is the case based on my research into the similar problem with iterators.  Background  I am investigating the serialization of anonymous functions. I was expecting this not to work, but found it did for some cases. As long as the lambda did *not&amp; force the compiler to generate an anonymous class everything works fine.   A SerializationException is thrown if the compiler requires a generated class to implement the anonymous function. This is because the compiler generated class is not marked as serializable.  Example  namespace Example {     [Serializable]     class Other     {         public int Value;     }      [Serializable]     class Program     {         static void Main(string[] args)         {             MemoryStream m = new MemoryStream();             BinaryFormatter f = new BinaryFormatter();              // Example 1             Func&lt;int&gt; succeeds = () =&gt; 5;             f.Serialize(m, succeeds);              // Example 2             Other o = new Other();             Func&lt;int&gt; fails = () =&gt; o.Value;             f.Serialize(m, fails); // throws SerializationException - Type 'Example.Program+&lt;&gt;c__DisplayClass3' in Assembly 'Example, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' is not marked as serializable.         }     }   Listing 2  This is similar to the issue of trying to serialize iterators and I had found the following code in a previous search (see ) Using the code from Listing 1 and an ISurrogateSelector I was able to successfully serialize and deserialize the second failing example.  Objective  I have a system that is exposed via a web service. The system has a complex but small state (many objects, not a lot of properties per object). The state is saved in the ASP.NET Cache, but is also serialized to a BLOB in SQL in case of cache expiration. Some objects need to execute arbitrary "events" upon reaching some condition. Hence they have properties accepting Action/Func objects. Contrived example:      class Command     {         public Command(Action action, Func&lt;bool&gt; condition);     }   Somewhere else      void DoSomethingWithThing(Thing thing)     {         state = Store.GetCurrentState();          Command cmd = new Command(() =&gt; thing.Foo(), () =&gt; thing.IsReady())         state.Add(cmd);          Store.Save(state);     } Circuit tester trips new GFCI I replaced a non-protected receptacle with a GFCI type and now my circuit tester trips the GFCI as soon as it is plugged in.  The receptacle tested fine before replacement, ground, neutral, hot, etc.  I've double checked the hot/neutral/ground connections.  I've also tried it with the downstream load disconnected.   The GFCI trips the moment I plug in my circuit tester (before pushing the test button).  Otherwise things check out OK.  I can plug in a power tool without it tripping.  Also, the integrated test/reset button work correctly.   I've read that the integrated test button is the only one that truly matters. Is this correct or should I be concerned? I'm sure a home inspector will red flag this if their tester has the same result.  Update  My tester is by "Commercial Electric".  The tester is one of the palm sized three prong type with three leds to indicate the condition of the circuit and a button on top to test GFCI. It's new from the local box store. In the United States we have a saying, "your mileage may vary", which means "your experience may be different".  In English-speaking countries that don't use Imperial miles, is there an equivalent expression?
