Do developers have to implement upvoted feature request? How long should I wait before developers implement feature request?
There are lots of questions tagged  that don't have a  response.  How do we interpret this? Is it because they are declined by default? We just have to wait for a response (the team is very busy)? Is Jeff the only one that reviews this questions?  I suppose the ones that have negative votes may (or may not) be declined by default, but there are quite a few with some to a lot upvotes that should have an official answer.
Replace non-numeric with empty string The relationship between the eigenvalues of matrices $XY$ and $YX$ If $X \in \mathbb{C}^{m \times n}$ and $Y \in \mathbb{C}^{n \times m}$ ($m \geq n$), how to prove the following?  $$\sigma (XY) = \sigma(YX) \cup \underbrace{\left \{ 0, ..., 0 \right \}}_{m-n}$$  Here, $\sigma$ denotes the set of eigenvalues/spectrum. How should an educational institute woo good faculty? What steps must an educational institution wanting to recruit good faculty take? There is a cycle in the academia:    Good doctorates from top universities invariably join other top universities as faculty members.  Good students aspire to study in top universities under excellent faculty members.   Suppose a new educational institution or department springs up and desires to set up a top-quality group, how does it break into this cycle? I suppose this could take some years, but is money-power the only thing that could be wielded by the institute to achieve its end? Alt Tags Missing from code book recommendation on functional analysis Why is my camera limited to a shutter speed of 1/250th when the flash is up? Sometimes in bright backlight and with large aperture (f2.8) I want flash at high shutter speeds.  But when I pop the flash up on D7000 it caps the shutter speed to 1/250th, which overexposes the shots and makes everything look like a nuclear bomb just went off.  What's the logic behind the limiting of the shutter speed when using flash? Is there anything I can do to get flash  + faster shutter speeds? If $l$ and $n$ are any positive integers, is there a  proof of the identity     $$\sum_{k=0}^{n}(-1)^{k}\binom{n}{k}(l-k)^n=n!\;$$   which uses the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle?  (If necessary, restrict to the case where $l\ge n$.)    This question is closely related to   and also Make wifi preferable over wired connection in Ubuntu 14.04? How do I make Ubuntu choose wifi connection over wired connection when both are connected to internet?  I edited the Ethernet connection to route using the preference "Use this connection only for resources on this network", which other people have reported having success with as a means of getting WiFi preferred, but it doesn't work for me. The issue persists. Ethernet is still being preferred for internet, and WiFi gets ignored.   another thing, is it possible to use wired connection as fail over connection to wireless? bash regex with quotes?

I tried the way of scaling this value to the scene size and then pick the color and get the value but I want more effective way to do this. Hovering over featured moves the questions down a bit When I hover over featured tab, both on the front page and in questions, the questions move down by one pixel. Here's a small screen capture demonstrating the issue:        I see it in Chrome 34 and Opera 20, but I don't see it on IE11 or Firefox 28. Are there massless bosons at scales above electroweak scale? Spontaneous electroweak symmetry breaking (i.e. $SU(2)\times U(1)\to U(1)_{em}$ ) is at scale about 100 Gev. So, for , gauge bosons $Z$ &amp; $W$ have masses about 100 GeV. But before this spontaneous symmetry breaking ( i.e. Energy > 100 GeV) the symmetry $SU(2)\times U(1)$ is not broken, and therefore gauge bosons are massless.  The same thing happens when we go around energy about $10^{16}$ GeV, where we have the Grand Unification between electroweak and strong interactions, in some bigger group ($SU(5)$, $SO(10)$ or others). So theoretically we should find gauge bosons $X$ and $Y$ with masses about $10^{16}$ GeV after GUT symmetry breaks into the Standard Model gauge group $SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$, and we should find massless X and Y bosons at bigger energies (where GUT isn't broken).  So this is what happened in the early universe: when temperature decreased, spontaneous symmetry breaking happened and firstly $X$ &amp; $Y$ gauge bosons obtained mass and finally $Z$ &amp; $W$ bosons obtained mass.   Now, I ask: have I understood this correctly? In other words, if we make experiments at energy above the electroweak scale (100 GeV) we are where $SU(2)\times U(1)$ isn't broken and then we should (experimentally) find $SU(2)$ and $U(1)$ massless gauge bosons, i.e. $W^1$, $W^2$, $W^3$ and $B$ with zero mass? But this is strange, because if I remember well in LHC we have just make experiments at energy about 1 TeV, but we haven't discovered any massless gauge bosons. I made changes to iptables config file in /etc/iptables/filter in Ubuntu and want to reload them. I read the man page and also googled but couldn't find the information. Any help will be appreciated. If $2^n - 1$ is prime from some integer $n$, prove that n must also be prime. shorter proof of generalized mediant inequality? $f: \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a continuous function. Assume that $\lim_{x \rightarrow \pm \infty} f(x)$ exist and are finite. Prove that $f$ is bounded.  So to show that $f$ is bounded, I must show that $\exists M \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $|f(x)| \leq M$ for all $x \in Dom(f)$. Assuming that $f(x)$'s limit exist, then I know that $\forall \epsilon  &gt; 0$, $\exists N$ such that for $n &gt; N$, $|f(n) - L| &lt; \epsilon$. But I am having trouble with figuring out how to connect the two ideas together. Execution of a command locally after ssh tunneling I have a script file ./run_app.sh which contains of the following:  ssh -L 8888:localhost:8888 ubuntu@address ./run_website.sh   # it should be executed locally   but it tries to run the second line on the remote machine. Actually, I want to run it on my pc. Any idea? mv * folder (avoiding 'cannot move' error) Is it true that  $$\int_a^b f(x) dx = \int_{f(a)}^{f(b)} f^{-1}(x) dx$$  Just making sure.   If not, how about:  $$\int_a^b f(x) dx = (f(b)-f(a))b - \int_{f(a)}^{f(b)}f^{-1}(x)dx$$   I'm having a hard time concentrating right now, and I'm trying to figure out how to get the area under a curve when the function is inverted.
