This is a simple question. I'm trying to enter code on Stack Overflow so I can ask people questions about my site. Stack Overflow says I have to indent or something to show my code. I've tried pressing the Ctrl+K command, and it does give me a "insert code here" but when I put the code between the " " it still gives me an error saying I can not post my code. This is becoming very frustrating being that I can't ask any questions on this site because the first thing people want is code, and without that my posts are just ignored.
How do I post text so that it is formatted as code?  What do I need to do so that my code shows up properly &mdash; not escaped or removed &mdash; when posted? And how to get the correct syntax highlighting?     For more information, see "" in the .
Which Windows 7 log file contains device connection/disconnection information? Windows 7 frequently plays the usb/new device connection/disconnection sound. It happens both when the computer is idle and under load. All usb device connections have been checked (though I can't rule out a bad cable yet). I thought a good way to track down the issue would be to wait for the sound and then check the log file for the latest connected/disconnected device. I just need to know which log file has this information.  Edit: I'm going to leave the answer accepted, however the issue persists. I get that sound seemingly randomly throughout the day. Anyone else have any ideas? Python does not find packages installed without Anaconda Tracking down where disk space has gone on Linux? How to create a Customized Ubuntu Server ISO? I'd like to create a customized Ubuntu Server 12.04 ISO but couldn't find a clear approach on how to do it. I see that Ubuntu-builder is a very good app to create a customized Ubuntu Desktop, but what about Ubuntu Server? Why don't we pluralize "foot" in measurements? For example, to answer the question, "How tall are you?" valid answers include:   Five feet. Five foot three. Five feet, three inches.   Why the discrepancy between feet and foot, seemingly only in the second case.    This question is inspired by this question:   edit: I do not believe the answer to this is related to the other question. The explanation for the other question is because of how adjective modifiers work. My question is a very different case, unrelated to adjectives. My observation is that I am asking about a particular exception case which applies only when "foot" is followed by a number which is assumed to be inches. That's extremely specific, and I doubt that the etymology has any relation to why we leave adjective modifiers singular. Since there are  complex numbers (2 dimensions) and quaternions (4 dimensions), it follows intuitively that there ought to be something in between for 3 dimensions ("triernions").   Yet no one uses these. Why is this? View/edit ID3 data for MP3 files What's a quick and easy way to view and edit ID3 tags (artist, album, etc.) using C#?

An open subset U of a space X is regular if it equals the interior of its closure, as we learn from the Wikipedia . Furthermore, the regular open subsets of a space (any space) form a complete Boolean algebra.  I'm coming to this from logic and algebra, with not much background in topology. I can't figure out which topologies have "interesting" collections of regular open sets. For example, in the trivial topology and the discrete topology, every open set is regular, if I'm not mistaken. Those are not "interesting" topologies. I assume there are other topologies in which the space X and the null set are the only regular open sets. If so, those aren't "interesting" either, at least not with regard to their regular open ets.  I believe what I'm looking for is topologies in which every open set is regular, other than the ones I've just described.  Thanks for any help.

A bike shop employee used a tool he said would check the wear on the chain, and said that it should be changed.   He said it took a measurement that meant the chain had expanded, but it is still hard for me understand why I should change the chain.   He said that the reason was that the expanded chain links will cause the chain rings to wear down.   That is one argument and I have no experience with it, to know if it is true.   But are there more reasons? How do I know when the chain should be changed?   My first thought is to use it until it breaks, but it probably is not the wisest option. Weighting features prior to SVM I'm building an object detector using HOG features and linear SVM. Some of the regions of the object are more "distinctive" so I would like to give more weight to the features extracted from those regions. (e.g. imagine we want to detect between mugs and glasses, then the most "distinctive" part is the mug's handle)  How could I do this? For sure there should be a more intelligent way than just replicating the features of those "distinctive" regions. Normality of dependent variable = normality of residuals?

Screenshots for reference: Determine the exact date of creation of an Apple ID Is it possible to determine the exact date and time (if possible) of creation of an Apple ID?

In my javascript I have this      loopDeLoop:         while (foo !== bar) {             switch (fubar) {                 case reallyFubar:                     if (anotherFoo == anotherBar) {                         break loopDeLoop;                     }                     break;                 default:                     break;             }         }   But JSLint says... lint warning: use of label  Here's the notes from        Labels   JavaScript allows any statement to have a label, and labels have a separate name space. JSLint is more strict.      JSLint expects labels only on statements that interact with break: switch, while, do, and for. JSLint expects that labels will be distinct from vars and parameters.   How do I construct the above to get rid of the warning?  Thanks, Greg How do I bulkify queries for directly or indirectly related records? I read in a book &quot;Physics - Resnik and Halliday&quot; the explanation of Type-I Superconductors {cold ones} that:  The Electrons that make up current at super-cool temperatures move in coordinated pairs. One of the electrons in a pair may electrically distort the molecular structure of the superconducting material as it moves through, creating  nearby short-lived regions of positive charge.the other electron in the the pair may be attracted to the positive spot. According to the theory the coordination would prevent them from colliding with the molecules of the material and thus would eliminate electrical resistance  Is this the only explanation or can somebody give me a more intuitive explanation that also takes into the problem of defect scattering as in the case of resistance and also explains the Type-II superconductors {hot ones} P.S. What are &quot;coordinated pairs&quot;? How do I force a column-break in a two-column document? Show that $\frac{X}{X+Y}\sim Beta(\alpha,\beta)$ Let IG denote Inverse-Gamma distribution   .   If $X\sim IG(\alpha,1)$ and $Y\sim IG(\beta,1)$. Show that   $\frac{X}{X+Y}\sim Beta(\alpha,\beta)$   I tried with jacobian transformation taking $Z=\frac{X}{X+Y}$ and $W=Y$ then $$X=\frac{WZ}{1-Z};Y=W$$  $$\frac{\partial(z,w)}{\partial(x,y)}=\frac{1}{(1-z)^2}$$  $$f_{z,w}(z,w)=f_x(\frac{wz}{1-z})f_y(w)(1-z)^2$$ $$f_{z,w}(z,w)=\frac{1}{\Gamma{(a)}}(\frac{wz}{1-z})^{-\alpha-1}e^{-\frac{(1-z)}{wz}}\frac{1}{\Gamma{(\beta)}}w^{-\beta-1}e^{-\frac{1}{w}}(1-z)^2$$  but I'm stuck, in some place I read that $\frac{X}{X+Y}$ is a type 3 Beta distribution, but I can't show that.
