Can't recommend close questions in LQP if previously flagged My personal habit of browsing SE is:   View the first page, and flag some questions Irrelevant: Answer questions that I can Clear the review queue   Now notice the 1st and 3rd things. I flag OT questions before doing review works, and some of them appear like this:      I don't think hitting "Looks OK" will affect the result of the review, because I think my previous flag should kick the same post into CV queue (and 3K people will close it). Am I right?
Low Quality Posts you Have Already Flagged I just discovered that it is possible to get a post in the Low Quality Posts review queue that you have already flagged for closing, making reviewing that item impossible. Obviously, I don't want to 'Looks Good' something that I know should be closed, but at the same time I cannot 'Recommend Close' something I have already flagged leaving the only option being to skip the post.  Can the queue be changed so that it does not show posts which you have already flagged?
Is using only HTTPS bad in a SEO perspective? I would like to set up a new business site. I plan to direct www.example.com to example.com and only use that domain. My plan is also to only use HTTPS and not HTTP.   Does this affect the SEO for the site? E.g. do Google put lower or higher rank for sites that is only available via HTTPS? Code is supposed to be exact and "as-is". Sometimes, showing two spaces is important. In a comment, it is not possible to show code with  multiple   spaces. This became apparent in  (see comments).  EDIT: apparently this bug is larger then I thought: multiple    spaces   here are neither preserved in normal question text. Pity (though I couldn't find this reported before, I'd assume it is).  Workaround: use Alt+0160 (windows), or U+00A0 (Unicode NBSP), as I did in the example above. Natural (human alpha-numeric) sort in Microsoft SQL 2005 We have a large database on which we have DB side pagination. This is quick, returning a page of 50 rows from millions of records in a small fraction of a second.  Users can define their own sort, basically choosing what column to sort by.  Columns are dynamic - some have numeric values, some dates and some text.  While most sort as expected text sorts in a dumb way. Well, I say dumb, it makes sense to computers, but frustrates users.  For instance, sorting by a string record id gives something like:  rec1 rec10 rec14 rec2 rec20 rec3 rec4   ...and so on.  I want this to take account of the number, so:  rec1 rec2 rec3 rec4 rec10 rec14 rec20   I can't control the input (otherwise I'd just format in leading 000s) and I can't rely on a single format - some are things like "{alpha code}-{dept code}-{rec id}".  I know a few ways to do this in C#, but can't pull down all the records to sort them, as that would be to slow.  Does anyone know a way to quickly apply a natural sort in Sql server?    We're using:  ROW_NUMBER() over (order by {field name} asc)   And then we're paging by that.  We can add triggers, although we wouldn't. All their input is parametrised and the like, but I can't change the format - if they put in "rec2" and "rec10" they expect them to be returned just like that, and in natural order.    We have valid user input that follows different formats for different clients.  One might go rec1, rec2, rec3, ... rec100, rec101  While another might go: grp1rec1, grp1rec2, ... grp20rec300, grp20rec301  When I say we can't control the input I mean that we can't force users to change these standards - they have a value like grp1rec1 and I can't reformat it as grp01rec001, as that would be changing something used for lookups and linking to external systems.  These formats vary a lot, but are often mixtures of letters and numbers.  Sorting these in C# is easy - just break it up into { "grp", 20, "rec", 301 } and then compare sequence values in turn.  However there may be millions of records and the data is paged, I need the sort to be done on the SQL server.  SQL server sorts by value, not comparison - in C# I can split the values out to compare, but in SQL I need some logic that (very quickly) gets a single value that consistently sorts.  @moebius - your answer might work, but it does feel like an ugly compromise to add a sort-key for all these text values. Find the last two digits of $9^{{9}^{9}}$ I have to find the last two decimal digits of the number $9^{{9}^{9}}$.  That's what I did:  $$m=100 , \phi(m)=40, a=9$$ $$(100,9)=1, \text{ so from Euler's theorem,we have :} 9^{40} \equiv 1 \pmod{100}$$  $$9^{{9}^{9}} \equiv 9^{9^{2+2+2+2+1}} \equiv 9^{9^2 \cdot 9^2 \cdot 9^2 \cdot 9^2 \cdot 9} \equiv 9^{81 \cdot 81 \cdot 81 \cdot 81 \cdot 9} \equiv 9^{(40+40+1) \cdot (40+40+1) \cdot (40+40+1) \cdot (40+40+1) \cdot 9} \equiv (9^{(40+40+1)})^{(40+40+1) \cdot (40+40+1) \cdot (40+40+1) \cdot 9} \equiv 9^9 \equiv 9^4 \cdot 9^4 \cdot 9 \equiv 6561 \cdot 6561 \cdot 9 \equiv 3721 \cdot 9 \\ \equiv 21 \cdot 9 \equiv 89 \pmod{100}$$  So,the last two digits are $8 \text{ and } 9$. $$$$But,is there also an other way two calculate the last two digits of $9^{{9}^{9}}$ or is the above the only one? Do objects rotate around the torque vector or its center? If a sphere has a torque vector coming out of it at point A, would the sphere rotate about its center or the axis of the torque vector? Prove that $\mathbb{|Q| = |Q\times Q|}$ Cold fusion is being mentioned a lot lately because of some new setup that apparently works. This is an unverified claim.  See for example:         ( of that last link in the Wayback Machine, given frequent  from that page.)   While we should give the scientific community time to evaluate the set up and eventually replicate the results, there is undoubtedly some skepticism that cold fusion would work at all, because the claim is quite extraordinary.  In the past, after Fleischmann and Pons announced their cold fusion results, in perfectly good faith, they were proven wrong by subsequent experiments.  What are the experimental realities that make Fleischmann and Pons style cold fusions experiments easy to get wrong?  Would the same risks apply to this new set up? apex:inputField can only be used with sObjects I am trying to create a custom visualforce page that saves new opportunity contact roles to an opportunity. I am having trouble creating the first step of listing out all contacts that relate to that account. The error I am getting is...     Save error: Could not resolve the entity from  value binding '{!u.contact}'.   can only be used with SObjects, or objects that are Visualforce field component resolvable.   I do not understand why I am receiving this error. u.contact should resolve to a Contact object, which is an sObject. Am I misunderstanding something?  Here is my code...

For example, for $n=2$ the analogue are polar coordinates $r,\theta$, which are related to the Cartesian coordinates $x_1,x_2$ by  $$x_1=r \cos  \theta$$ $$x_2=r \sin  \theta$$  For $n=3$, the analogue would be the ordinary spherical coordinates $r,\theta ,\varphi$, related to the Cartesian coordinates $x_1,x_2,x_3$ by  $$x_1=r \sin  \theta  \cos  \varphi$$ $$x_2=r \sin  \theta  \sin  \varphi$$ $$x_3=r \cos  \theta$$  So these are my questions: Is there an analogue, or several, to spherical coordinates in $n$-dimensions for $n&gt;3$? If there are such analogues, what are they and how are they related to the Cartesian coordinates? Thanks. When do I use the following:   home.php frontpage.php Under Settings > Reading Settings  Front Page Posts Page    I wish to clarify this as I find myself using "Placeholder Pages", empty pages just for the sake of a menu item and to display blog listings.   If I use a Static Front Page (Set under Settings > Reading Settings > Front Page) how do I access my posts page? Do I need to have a "Placeholder Page" titled blog and use page-blog.php? How much time have the Straw Hats spent with each other? still frame camera solve I've found a number of how-tos for solving video but I'm just looking to put an element in a photo and can't seem to find a how-to for that.

For me am thinking to write all elements of $A_4$ and trying to find every cyclic subgroup generated by each element of $A_4$, then I have to check whether there exist such a subgroup or not! This is a long procedure for me, I ask if there is a short way to do this. Opacity problem over white object in Illustrator I have a problem. I'm working with an object at 50% opacity. When it's over the artboard itself the color looks great, but when I put a white object behind it I get this weird color that doesn't look accurate.  This happens with every object and only in CMYK. I'm pretty sure this never happened to me before so maybe I changed something in the settings or I don't know.  Does anyone have any idea? Esaki effect implementation on simple oscillator circuit I am trying to learn basic oscillator circuits with the help of this   But when I connected the components, my LED is not blinking. Rather, it is giving bright light.  The components I have used are 1K resistor 18V battery 200uF capacittor 2N2222 transistor and LED with 100 ohm resistance.  Here is the circuit:      From above page: Why too many capacitors in parallel for Vdd supply net? Can't we just add all to replace with one big capacitor? If $A+B=AB$ then $AB=BA$ I was doing the problem $$ A+B=AB\implies AB=BA. $$  $AB=BA$ means they're invertible, but I can't figure out how to show that $A+B=AB$ implies invertibility.
