Did Martin Scorsese use "whom" properly in this interview? I was reading an interview with Martin Scorsese in the Times and he said the following:     But, no matter whom you make your movie with, the fact is that the screens in most multiplexes are crowded with franchise pictures.      Is this proper usage? I have always heard you use "whom" when "who" would be the object of the sentence, or more colloquially when it would make sense to say "him/her" instead of "he/she". In this example, if we replace "whom" with "him" the word order doesn't make sense, so I can't figure it out. I think the larger problem is he ended the clause with a preposition, and the correct verbiage is      It doesn't matter with whom you make your movie   but that doesn't sound as good.
"With who" vs. "with whom" Is this correct?     The person with whom I'm doing the project should be here soon.   If it is, is with always a dative preposition (like mit in German)?
In Westeros there are three coins:   Copper Stars (The Seven-Pointed Star is the symbol of the Faith of the Seven.) Silver Stags (The Stag is the sigil of house Baratheon.) Gold Dragons (The Dragon is the sigil of house Targaryen.)   Was the Stag already on the silver coin before Robert became king?  If so, why? Was house Baratheon that important?  If not, what was on the silver coin during the reign of the Targaryen kings?  Why is the sigil of house Targaryen still on the gold coin after Robert took the crown?  Robert hates the Targaryens so much, even murdering innocent children is OK for him.   Keeping this in mind I find it especially strange, that he doesn't change the sigil on most valuable coin. How can I stop being prompted to unlock the 'default' keyring on boot? Alternatively, why does the force created by blowing out air feel so much stronger than the force created by sucking in air?  Ok, so forget the human factor involved in blowing out candles. Consider a vacuum cleaner with a suction end and a blower end. Anyone who has tried it out notices the blower end creates a much stronger force than the suction end, despite the discharge being (more or less) equal at both ends.  Why does this happen? According to      there         adverb          in or at that place (opposed to here ):      She is there now.         pronoun          (used to introduce a sentence or clause in which the verb comes before its subject or has no complement):      There is no hope.   Then, what element is there in:     There is the man.   I'm confused because "There is the man" is an adverb inversion, in which there is an adverb and "the man is" is inverted. But according to the definition above, there suddenly becomes a pronoun. Correct usage of will and would Consider the following sentence     It will/would rain tomorrow.   I understand "would" usually means something that is really improbable.  So "it would happen" means it might happen but it is very unlikely; while "it will happen" means it is going to happen  But what if I want to say      It will not happen?   Because the meaning of "it will not happen" represents something that is unlikely or, worse still, not going to happen, shouldn't it be more accurate to say "it would not happen"?  However, to contravene the aforesaid suggestion - if I am confident that the thing is not going to happen, should I use "will" to indicate the definite nature of my statement?  To further complicate the issue, what if I want to say     I think you will not be able to do it.    or      I think you would not be able to do it.    Which one is more accurate/correct,  given that "I think" already conveys a sense of "less than definite" and "will/would not be able to" conveys the same sense as "unlikely"? Where should I put my bash scripts When should I use a struct rather than a class in C#? When should you use struct and not class in C#? My conceptual model is that structs are used in times when the item is merely a collection of value types.  A way to logically hold them all together into a cohesive whole.  I came across these rules :   A struct should represent a single value. A struct should have a memory footprint less than 16 bytes. A struct should not be changed after creation.   Do these rules work? What does a struct mean semantically? What is the name of this kind of character illustration? I have seen lots of UI designer nowadays including this kind of illustration i want to know the name of this style so that i can also learn and try this in my designs. How do I upgrade from 14.04 LTS to 16.04.1 LTS? So, today is July 21st and . gives me an option to download 16.04.1 LTS. However, attempting to upgrade gets me this message -  $ sudo do-release-upgrade Checking for a new Ubuntu release No new release found   What is wrong? Does it matter that I am running apt-get update behind apt-cacher-ng?  Note: Commenting out the files in apt.conf.d that used apt-cacher-ng did not make a difference.  Edit: Explanation for possible duplicates:  deals with upgrade from 12.04LTS to 14.04LTS. My question is specific to 14.04 LTS to 16.04.1 LTS upgrade. Old answers, while good for archival purposes are less relevant in a fast changing package like ubuntu. Moreover none of the answers answer what is wrong. The link  pointed out is mentioned in one of the comments. This Q &amp; A is more helpful for people upgrading today than the work around mentioned in "". What are the criteria used to represent Stack Exchange sites on the sites page? (Grid view) I noticed that  has been changed, and by default sites are shown by balloons.  What is not clear to me is why some sites are shown with a bigger balloon than other sites. For example, WordPress Answers has less questions, answers and users than Programmers, but its balloon is bigger. What are the criteria used to show the sites on that page? $\gcd(a,b)\!=\!1\!=\!\gcd(a,c)\Rightarrow\gcd(a,bc)\!=\!1$ [coprimes to $\,a\,$ are product closed] How do I go about proving this?  If $\gcd(a,b)=1$ and $\gcd(a,c)=1$, then $\gcd(a,bc)=1$. I'm very confused with gcd proofs. How to remove spikes from switching transistor? Can low-gravity planets sustain a breathable atmosphere? If astronauts could deliver a large quantity of breathable air to somewhere with lower gravity, such as Earth's moon, would the air form an atmosphere, or would it float away and disappear? Is there a minimum amount of gravity necessary to trap a breathable atmosphere on a planet? I have an external sound card which mostly works fine, except that when its first plugged in, or when I turn on my laptop, the volume gets set to 100%. That is, the overall system volume, as shown in the sound indicator.  What I'm looking for is a terminal command that will set that volume to 50%, so that I can run it on login and not have to worry that the first audio I play is going to blare out at me if I forget to turn the volume down. What commands allow you to change that volume, i.e. the one in the sound indicator?  I've poked around in gsettings and dbus, but have been unable to find anything that would let me set the system volume like that. I do know about alsamixer, but that's not the solution I'm looking for, since that doesn't allow me to change the volume using the sound indicator or my laptop's multimedia keys. How do I solve this limit: $\lim _{x \to 0} \left(\frac{ \sin x}{x}\right)^{1/x}$? Is Unit Testing worth the effort? I am working to integrate unit testing into the development process on the team I work on and there are some sceptics. What are some good ways to convince the sceptical developers on the team of the value of Unit Testing? In my specific case we would be adding Unit Tests as we add functionality or fixed bugs. Unfortunately our code base does not lend itself to easy testing. Probability distribution in the coupon collector's problem How do I change NEI to cheat mode? Quake-style terminal with splitting in Gnome other than Yakuake The most common Quake-style terminal in Gnome seem to be Guake and Tilda, but they can't split to show several shells in single tab like Yakuake can.
