I've come across a small issue which occurs when a question has been closed but the question itself or one of its answers are being edited.  Steps to reproduce:   Visit a closed question. (even closed years ago)   In a different tab or browser, edit the question or one of its answers. "an edit has been made to this post; click to load" message will appear above the edited post in the first tab/browser, click it. The .question-status div becomes hidden, which includes the closed notice below a question and, for a duplicate-closed question, the list of duplicates above the question body. This gives the appearance that the question is no longer closed (until you refresh).   Some screenshots:                I know it isn't common/important but it did confuse me when looking at a particularly bad question - I thought it had been reopened.   Is this an intentional feature? If so, what was the thinking behind it?    Another example  Before    After
Using ArcGIS 10.0, is it possible to reorder the fields in a file geodatabase, and have the order persisted to the database?  We considered exporting to XML, and writing a parser to change the field order, then re-creating a new database from the XML. This seems like a laborious process.  Another idea is to import the existing field definitionss into Excel, re-order them, export to CSV, then write a Python script to create these fields in a new Geodatabase. Does a script like this exist, before we write it from scratch?  Unfortunately the ArcGIS Diagrammer doesn't seem to support field re-ordering.  Are there any scripts or hacks we could use to simplify this process? Content Assist for JSF2 + CDI (weld) beans + Eclipse Helios Virtual Host Setup Redirecting Request to Local IP address In JavaScript can I make a "click" event fire programmatically for a file input element? Why can a 1 element set be a member of another set but not a subset of it? Let $G$ be a matrix Lie group and let $H$ be a Lie subgroup of $G$. My understanding is that all $g \in G$ are matrices, since $G$ is a subgroup of the general linear group. Then aren’t all elements $h \in H$ matrices, since $h \in G$?  From what I can gather $H$ is a matrix Lie group if $H$ is a closed subset of $G$. But if $H$ is not a closed subset of $G$, why is it not a matrix Lie group? Is the reasoning in the first paragraph wrong? Provide two arguments to one option using getopts In below code when I give option r then getopts requires one arguments:  while getopts ":hr::l:" opt; do     case $opt in         r ) echo "Run Numbers - argument = $OPTARG " ;;         l ) echo "Latency range - argument = $OPTARG" ;;         h ) helptext             graceful_exit ;;         * ) usage             clean_up             exit 1     esac done   But I need to pass two arguments after -r option, instead of one. Is there an easy way to do this? Not sure if this option ever existed, but the new QGIS version hides a lot of things somewhere else and this seems so simple that I'm kind of convinced it was possible to do this before. I have quite a large data set with ship tracks. I now want to analyse individual ship tracks (made from point layer with  Plugin). However, it is so crowded that it is hard to look at individual tracks. I don't want to save each single track as a new layer, so I wonder if it is possible to select one track in the Attribute table and display only that one on the map/hide the others? "Who wants ice-cream?" — Should I say "(not) I" or "(not) me"? With the enthusiastic question of "Who wants ice-cream?", what is the more correct response?         (Not) I.   (Not) me.      Neither response is a sentence. The first response of "(not) I" sounds stuffy, like it should be followed with an indignant sniff. The second sounds like American idiom and acceptable for casual speech.    What do you say? How do I rotate a tikz rectangle about a specific axis? I am trying to create a beamer animation using tikz, but I can't even get basic rotating of a tikz image working as desired.  I have a rectangle specified by  \draw[rounded corners,dotted] (-3.5,0) rectangle (-0.5,2);   I would like to rotate this rectangle about the point (-1,.5) (which is near the bottom right corner of the rectangle).  I've tried:  {\rotatebox[origin=c,x=-1,y=.5]{130}{             \draw[rounded corners,dotted] (-3.5,0) rectangle (-0.5,2);}}   But this produces an error.  If I just use the origin=c option, it compiles, but it rotates the rectangle about the point (0,0).  I've also tried it with just the x=-1,y=.5 (without the origin option), and it fails to compile.  I have searched the documentation, which is where I learned about the options x=xdim and y=ydim.  However, I can't find a single example demonstrating how these options should be used.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.    Also, if there is a better command for rotating things that will be more suitable for use in a beamer animation, please let me know.  Thanks! Show that there are $ a,b \geq 0 $ so that $ |f(x)| \leq ax+b, \forall x \geq 0.$ I have the following exercise: $$f:[0, +\infty) \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \text{ uniformly continuous  } .$$ $$\text{Show that there are } a,b \geq 0 \text{ so that } |f(x)| \leq ax+b, \forall x \geq 0.$$ $$$$ $f:[0, +\infty) \rightarrow \mathbb{R} \text{ uniformly continuous  } :$ $\forall \epsilon &gt;0 \exists \delta &gt;0 \text{ such that } \forall x,y \in [0, + \infty) \text{ with } |x-y|&lt; \delta \Rightarrow |f(x)-f(y)|&lt;\epsilon$ $$$$ How can I continue?? Why was Arcanine with the Legendary Birds in Veridian City in Pokémon Origins? In Pokémon Origins, Red sees a image with the three legendary birds and Arcanine.     Why was Arcanine there? I mean, he's 'The Legendary Pokemon' but not a legendary Pokémon. In , there is a comment by  on the answer that Arcanine was originally a legendary Pokémon:     "...Nintendo first gave Zapdos, Articuno and Arcanine as the legendary trio. But they removed Arcanine as it would have been awkward. Two birds and a dog, huh!..."   This still does not add up because Pokémon Origins was created a while after they removed Arcanine. Any thoughts? How do I get the MAX row with a GROUP BY in LINQ query? Which are the spec bits in this cache? I have a direct mapped cache of size S with the line size L. The cache is physically indexed and tagged. The physical address is 50 bits, numbered from 0 to 49 (with 0 being the least significant bit). The machine has a word size of 4 bits and the memory is byte-addressable. Which bits of the 50 bits are compared with the address tag? How can I use JUnit4 idiomatically to test that some code throws an exception?  While I can certainly do something like this:  @Test public void testFooThrowsIndexOutOfBoundsException() {   boolean thrown = false;    try {     foo.doStuff();   } catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException e) {     thrown = true;   }    assertTrue(thrown); }   I recall that there is an annotation or an Assert.xyz or something that is far less kludgy and far more in-the-spirit of JUnit for these sorts of situations. Long ago someone demonstrated the following card trick with a standard 52-card deck:  (1) A volunteer selects 5 cards from a shuffled deck, which the performer does not see.  (2) The assistant puts exactly 4 of those in a pile and passes it to the performer.  (3) The performer can then identify the 5th card.  There are a few ways to execute this trick, one of which goes as follows.  (1) The assistant finds a suit common to 2 of the 5 cards, with values $x$ and $y$ modulo $13$.  (2) He then removes one of them, say $x$, such that $x-y \in [1..6]$ modulo $13$.  (3) He then puts the other one at the top of the pile.  (4) And he puts the 3 other cards after that in a permutation corresponding to $x-y$ modulo $13$.  Since (1) works by pigeonhole, (2) works because $\frac{13-1}{2} = 6$, and (4) works because there are 6 possible permutations of 3 cards, the trick succeeds. My question is whether the same trick can work with more than 52 cards. It is not obvious to me how to do so, nor compute the maximum number of (pairwise distinct) cards possible. Also, it seems to me that even if the trick can be made to work for $n$ cards, it may not work for $n-1$ cards! Any ideas? What's a word for lack of confidence? Looking for a command to create the geometry line symbol (\overline with arrows on both ends) I need a way of encoding the geometry line symbol. $\overline{AB}$ gives me the line segment symbol and $\overrightarrow{AB}$ gives me the ray symbol, I need a way to get a bar over the letters that has arrows on both ends. $\overrightleftarrow{AB}$ does not work.   Thanks! Can we model gravitation as a repulsive force? This question is actually related to my earlier question ("").  The fact that objects move a lot in the universe and that the universe is expanding, can imply that gravity is a repulsive force that increases with distance.. so the farthest objects repel us more.  This can still explain several existing observations, e.g., why does the apple fall?   Motion is the result of such repulsion. Two objects unlucky enough not to be moving relative to each other get squished due to the repulsion of the rest of the universe  around them. The earth repels the apple less than the stars so it is pushed towards the earth.   Furthermore, it can explain the expanding universe without the need for dark energy.  This could be demonstrated in a thought experiment. If we take a lot of same-charge particles (with small mass) such as electrons and lock them in a large box at a low enough temperature. The mutual repulsion of the particles may cause similar motion as if due to gravitational attraction.   Another experiment would be to measure the slight changes in our weight during day and night when the sun and earth align (if their masses are large enough to detect the feeble change in repulsion).   [EDIT: the question in the original form may not have been clear. It is "can we model".. with a yes/no answer and why (not). If downvoting, please justify. I am currently in need of using apt-get on a chroot directory. The setup is the following.  I have a chroot setup with schroot. This chroot environment needs to be stripped down as much as possible. Therefore I am planning to remove apt-get and commin from the chroot environment.  I know that Gentoo has the possibility to use portage on a different root directory. Is this possible to set a different root directory for apt.get to install software into my chroot directory?  Thanks in advance
