Is "would" used correctly in these sentences?   I would not be surprised if you would lose.  I would not give you the weapon if you would use it to harm others.
I have been taught to use the if I had form in conditional clauses referring to the past:     If the president had asked me, I would have told him the same thing.   As far as I can tell though, the would have construct is sometimes used in conditional clauses as well, so it wouldn't be incorrect to say:     If the president would have asked me, I would have told him the same thing.   What is the difference between the two and the proper use of the latter?
Mach-O 64-bit format does not support 32-bit absolute addresses. NASM Accessing Array How are classical optics phenomena explained in QED (Snell's law)? How is the following classical optics phenomenon explained in quantum electrodynamics?   Reflection and Refraction   Are they simply due to photons being absorbed and re-emitted? How do we get to Snell's law, for example, in that case?  Split by request: See the other part of this question . Types of circular acceleration? To my knowledge there are three types of acceleration when a body (e.g. a rod) is moving in a circle about an axis. These are:   Angular acceleration : this is the rate of change of angular velocity. Tangential acceleration : this is the linear acceleration of the system in a tangential direction to the circle and equals the radius times the angular acceleration. Radial/centripetal acceleration : this is the linear acceleration of the system that is directed inwards towards the center of the circle.   I also think there are two types of velocity:   Linear velocity: this is its velocity in the tangential direction and is constantly changing Angular velocity or angular frequency: this is the rate of change of angle.   Is the above correct? And have I missed anything? I want to save a backup of my data on a remote server, but never want the backup server to see the data unencrypted. Editing a single file and backing up should not result in everything being encrypted and sent again. The remote server should preferably not even know the directory structure (and especially not the directory names).  Is there such a solution? Book where human thoughts are affecting the universe Basically our thoughts are ruining everything. Like when humans are taught stars are giant balls of gas. To the rest of the universe they aren't but humans think it and destroy alien planets. I think they come to seal us off from the rest of the universe. How can I install Ubuntu without removing Windows? Prove or Disprove the Existence of Solutions... A physical explanation for negative kelvin temperatures Show that $a \star b=a \cdot b+a+b$ is binary operation for the group $\Bbb{ Q} \setminus \{-1\}$ The group $\left(\Bbb{ Q}\setminus\{-1\},\star\right)$ has as its underlying set the rational numbers different from $-1$ and the operation $\star$ is defined as $a \star b=a \cdot b+a+b$ where multiplication/addition are the usual operations with rational numbers.Show that this is a binary operation.  What I did (Please help verify):  identity element has to be 0 since $a\star 0 = a+0+a(0)$ so for $a\star b=0$ we have  $ab+a+b=0$ $$ab+a=-b \\ a(b+1)=-b \\ a=\frac{-b}{b+1}$$ so $b$ cant be $-1$ since that solution is not in $\Bbb{Q}$. Similar question might have been answered here. Is this operation true for all groups? I think so.  Thanks for the tips and help. I want to see all my Questions and Answers in a particular SE site -  - profile page through Stack Exchange Android App. How can I see that? When I tried to see that I found only Top Posts(5) and Top Tags. I gave a quick answer to part of  which had not been covered by previous answers, trying to clarify the reason you would say time of decoding but not decoding’s time. I said it was ’s usually indicates possession, but of course there were several counterexamples that would have occurred to me after a moment’s consideration, and these where helpfully supplied:   Britain’s climate two days’ time  a day’s work  the sun’s rays   I am still of a mind to say that possession of some sort is what allows the ’s. Even though the sun does not have title to its rays, they do belong to the sun. Now, at the risk of duplicating the original question and/or being pigheaded, I am curious as to why time of decoding but not decoding’s time is correct, if not for the reason I gave. Cant find the solution when sorting an array in JavaScript Can I use a variable in a Bash brace expansion? Find the supremum of the following set Find the supremum of the following set:  $$A:=\left\{{(n-1)\over(2n+3)} : n \in\mathbb{N}\right\}$$  So I have as my answer that $\sup(A) = \frac12$ but need to justify. We were taught to justify in two steps, first show our answer is an upper bound for the set then show it is a least upper bound.   For step $1$: if $a$ is a member of $A$ then $a = (n-1)/(2n+3)$ for some natural number $n$ and $\frac{n-1}{2n+3} \leq \frac{n}{2n} = \frac12$ so $\frac12$ is an upper bound for the set  Step 2 is where I am uncertain. I think I need to show that for any $y&lt;\frac12$ there exists a member of the set between $y$ and $\frac12$ but not sure how to do this. Thanks for all the answers so far! Correctly typesetting a tilde How do I set the tilde (~) character correctly in LaTeX?  There’s a  on Stack Overflow, with a lot of answers. But dare I say it? They all suck:   \textasciitilde is too high, \texttildelow is too low. $\sim$ can be tweaked to look more or less acceptable: {\raise.17ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle\sim$}} – but even that is a hack and uses the wrong symbol.   The point is – the tilde character is definitely an existing glyph in any font I am tempted to use. How can I just access and typeset that character, please? Without resorting to some other, similar-looking glyph that first needs to be nudged into place using a cunning combination of font size and raised boxes?  There must be a possibility to access that glyph directly from the font definition.  To demonstrate, look at this screenshot which attempts simply to display a C++ destructor of a type T (~T):    Compare this with the symbol we get in the browser: ~ – that’s what I want. Uniformly Continuous Function sending Bounded Set to Unbounded One Let $(X,d)$ and $(Y,\rho)$ be metric spaces, and let $f: X \to Y$ be a uniformly continuous function. If $A \subset X$ is bounded, must $f(A) \subset Y$ be bounded?  It is clear to me that in metric spaces that satisfy the Heine-Borel property, such as $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, the answer to this question is yes. However, I can see no reason why this should hold for arbitrary metric spaces. Any ideas? Thanks! Best practices for API versioning? Are there any known how-tos or best practices for web service REST API versioning?  I have noticed that . Is this the only way or are there other ways to accomplish the same goal? If there are multiple ways, what are the merits of each way? how can I extrude curve shapes onto curve without tapering I'm stuck. Can't figure out how I can extrude a closed curve onto a NURBS curve without it looking tapered.   I notice that when it's set to "2D" there is no tapering, but I want to do it on 3d.  Thanks for help. What is the best way to restrict access to adult content? I bought my kids a PC and installed 12.04 (Unity) on it.  The bottom line is, I want my children to use the computer unsupervised while I have confidence they cannot access anything inappropriate.  What I have looked at:  I was looking at Scrubit a tool which allows me configure my wifi router to block content and this solution would also protect my other PC and mobile devices.  This may be overkill as I just want the solution to work on one PC.    I also did some Google searches and came across the application called .  My experience of OSS is that the best solutions frequently never appear first on a Google search list and in this case I need to trust the methods therefore my question is very specific.   I want to leverage your knowledge and experience to understand What is the best way to restrict adult content on 12.04 LTS as this is important to me.  It maybe a combination of things so please don't answer this question "try this or that", then give me some PPA unless you can share your experience of how good it is and of course if there are any constraints. I am very confused. Unless I am mistaken, I know "it" has to be a noun of some sort, but I am unable to figure out what noun "it" is referring to.   What is "it" in the following sentence:      It is clear that Bob likes doughnuts.   Heres another couple of examples:     It is impossible to fly.
