I'm running windows 7 RC.  I've got a few poorly-designed apps that force me to click through a UAC box in order to launch them. This is becoming quite an annoyance. I don't mind UAC aside from this issue.  Is there a way to stop UAC from popping up for just one particular app or executable?
I have some programs running on start-up like . UAC prompts every time the Windows starts. How can I set a program to make sure that no intervening prompt would appear during start-up?
My C# application is returning 0xE0434352 to Windows Task Scheduler but it is not crashing How does the Green-Flame Blade cantrip interact with the tiefling feat Flames of Phlegethos? I’m playing an Eldritch Knight fighter, and I’m looking to optimize the damage of the green-flame blade cantrip. The description of the tiefling racial feat  states, in part (XGtE, p. 74-75):   When you roll fire damage for a spell you cast, you can reroll any roll of 1 on the fire damage dice, but you must use the new roll, even if it is another 1. Whenever you cast a spell that deals fire damage, you can cause flames to wreathe you until the end of your next turn. The flames don’t harm you or your possessions, and they shed bright light out to 30 feet and dim light for an additional 30 feet. While the flames are present, any creature within 5 feet of you that hits you with a melee attack takes 1d4 fire damage.   Would both the 1d4 fire damage and the re-roll 1s on fire damage trigger when using green-flame blade? Or is this meant for spells of level 1 and higher?

What kind of material is the Robert Downey Jr. Iron Man's armor supposed to be made from? I know he crafted the prototype from the things he had on hand, but once he was able to build the next one(s) in his own lab, what hi-tech material did he use for the movie armor? Use the triangle inequality to show that $|a|+|b| \leq |a+b|+|a-b|$ How would I go about proving that  $$|a|+|b| \leq |a+b|+|a-b|$$  Using the triangle inequality?  I tried squaring both sides, yielding:  $$|a|^2 +|b|^2 +2|a||b| \leq 2|a|^2+2|b|^2+2||a|^2-|b|^2|$$  Is it correct to move the terms to the other side? I tried $$2|a||b| \leq |a|^2+|b|^2+2||a|^2-|b|^2|$$ Then it is obvious that  $$0\leq |a|^2+|b|^2-2|a||b| +2||a|^2-|b|^2|$$ $$0\leq (|a|-|b|)^2 +2||a|^2-|b|^2|$$ $$0\leq ||a|-|b||^2 +2||a|^2-|b|^2|$$  But I have neither used the triangle inequality, nor it looks mathematically rigorous for my real analysis class.

How to make Fedora user a sudoer? I have played and tried to GM games since I was in elementary school, beginning with games like Shadowrun, Earthdawn, and Champions. Recently, I've gotten dack into gaming with a variety of other games (newer Shadowrun and Earthdawn, plus TOON! and Outbreak:Undead).  I've found examples of actual play and advice on how to actually GM a game in games to be lacking. I can only help but feel I am not alone as someone who isn't already a LITERAL dungeon MASTER.  I fully realize that there are an unlimited number of GM styles, personalities, etc. I do not think I am a very good GM though. No one else wants to be the GM, and few care enough to learn the complex rules that I often have to assist with and explain AS WE PLAY. Being left with the responsibility is quite overwhelming unless I create dynamic encounters or make it all up on the spot. I'm often left having no idea what to do.  Examples of Why I Think I Need Help  This question isn't about these examples so please don't dig into them in the answers - they're here to explain the basic things that leave me feeling like I don't know how to proceed as a GM.  I've read preparation is important, but last time I tried to make a story, the players immediately killed the primary character (a friendly person.) within about 2 minutes of starting the game. While I realize now that I let the dice take control over the story, it was rather difficult to continue a story that relied on this friendly character, with the players making enemies with the character's faction. It is still discouraging when my only other attempt at a prepared story ended with the players wanting to go in a complete opposite direction of where I planned. Both times, the hours of work I put into it were completely wasted, leaving me as ignorant as I always was before.  My group often wants to play Shadowrun, Earthdawn, or L5R- but I feel as though I am a horrible GM. The last time we played Shadowrun, I was bored out of my mind as we rolled hundreds of dice to do an obvious straight-forward "kick down the door" mission.   If I make security as I believe it should or as the forum threads describe their security or a few example missions I can scrounge up (examples of stories, not actual gameplay), my players literally feel completely hopeless as to how to achieve their mission without total failure.   One time when I was a teenager, I had players blow up at me saying "We have no idea what would work. You're telling us that our character's experience or the ally operative says that would get us killed, but what else can we do?" Since there are no examples of what players can do - I am left with the same feeling as the players. As an adult, I've had a similar occurrence where a player said to me, "I don't know what to do. I don't think we can even begin this mission." I had to make something up and just go with it, creating an NPC group (that fit in with the story) that goes in before the players to do something stupid so they don't have to. Mainly because I ALSO didn't know how to accomplish the mission, so I acted as the players would using my NPC group. Extremely boring and IMO a failed dungeon run.  I've had successful stories, but I've had more boring encounters than successful ones. Seeing as how roleplaying takes endless hours to complete a story, I do not see benefit in an activity that wastes more time than is enjoyable.  How Do You Learn To GM?  Where are the resources? Books, blogs, gameplay examples? Am I missing them? How did YOU learn to be a good GM? Or do you feel as bad at this as I do, even when it's a successful, fun encounter? Finding centrelines from polygons in QGIS? I was wondering if there is a way to create centre lines from polygons in QGIS? I have a polygon layer, but ideally need the centrelines as a separate file. A geometry question: Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral. Prove that AD is parallel to BC. Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral such that the length of the segment connecting midpoints of the two opposite sides $AB$ and $CD$ equals $\frac{AD+BC}{2}$ . Prove that AD is parallel to BC. I assume that AD is not parallel to BC but I can't find any contradiction. Floating point arithmetic not producing exact results How to read a csv file and use the values as x and y points in blender? How can i use the value in column 'lon' and 'lat' as the position of my uv_sphere? For example,read the values from line 4, (116.4559081, 39.9139083), and make these 2 numbers as my uv_sphere x and y position in blender? and gives different colors for different mode, for example i have 4 modes in the csv , i want to make the uv sphere that represents the bus mode to be red, and subway to be green , rail to be blue and tram to be yellow., and use the row ['from'] and ['to'] to connect the nodes with a cylinder with x scale 0.5 , y scale 0.5 and the z scale with the value in ['length'] value. How much should a "button of Cure Light Wounds" cost (should it be available at all?) What does it "they like me for me" mean? The "I Get It" Reputation Problem I wrote a question about blocking certain characters in passwords. It became tremendously unpopular, and it seemed like everyone wanted to rain on my parade every day.  Eventually, I "got it," agreed completely with what people were saying to me, and just wanted to withdraw my question so that my reputation didn't slide even further downhill.  Unfortunately, the system is designed such that I can't withdraw my question or redeem myself. Instead, I just get daily reputation attacks. That's a terrible system, and it needs to be changed. Can a single molecule have a temperature? An elementary question regarding a multiplicative character over finite fields Reading Chapter 2 of Koblitz's Introduction to Elliptic Curves and Modular Forms, I got stuck on the following question. I would like to proceed my reading, so I would appreciate any hint to this. I have no background in Algebraic Number Theory, but if someone explains in that language, I would like to see it and learn it as much as I can at this moment. References will also be appreciated!  Let $q$ be a power of prime $p$ such that $q \equiv 1 \mod 4$ and $p \nmid 2n$.  Question. Let $\chi_{4} : \mathbb{F}_{q}^{*} \rightarrow S^{1}$ be the character of order $4$, show that $\chi_{4}(-4) = 1$.  The hint in the book says we may show that $\chi_{4}(4) = \chi_{4}(-1) = 1$ for $q \equiv 1 \mod 8$ and $\chi_{4}(4) = \chi_{4}(-1) = -1$ for $q \equiv 5 \mod 8$.  If $q \equiv 1 \mod 8$, then $\chi_{4}(4) = \chi_{4}(2)^{2} = \chi_{2}(2) = \pm 1$, where $\chi_{j}$ denotes the character of order $j$. So I think $2$ must be quadratic residue in this case, but I cannot figure out why. Position of \caption gets counter incremented twice
