This question brought up a good point about . However, were there any rules set about the size of an object that can be summoned via that charm?  Could something on the cellular or molecular level be summoned?  From the books the smallest thing I can think of would be hair that was used to disguise Harry at the wedding; also in The Goblet of Fire, a fly was summoned as well.
We know that Accio spell (aka ) has some limits:   It can be blocked (e.g. Harry couldn't Accio the Diadem in RoR in Deathly Hallows). Many more failures are listed on Wikia.   But what are the exact full rules and limitations governing the spell in Harry Potter world?   Distance?  Line-of-sight?  Knowing exact or approximate location?  Specificity of item (e.g. "Accio Broom" seemed to work for Weasleys in OotP to bring their locked-up brooms - why not just a random broom?) Types of Accio-able stuff? Can you Accio water? Lump of earth? Gases/liquids/etc...? Can you Accio based on jQuery selector (or an SQL where clause), for lack of a better description? E.g. "Accio the book that has the word 'Flammel'"? "Accio biggest green ball from this room"? Can you Accio ALL items of a kind? (the reason I thought of this whole question was seeing "Accio all guns" comment in ). Can you Accio vague stuff? ("Accio meal"). Other rules that can be inferred.   NOTE: While Wikia article has some of the info, it is clearly very lacking in details on specific rules based on specific instances in canon. I'm looking for a fully comprehensive, organized ruleset for the charm, not merely 1-2 tidbits in Wikia article.
Cleric build to maximize melee damage and spell healing I was considering playing a Summoner in my next Pathfinder campaign, and I decided that I wanted my Eidolon to be a a four-armed giant (the character being a Gnome with a height complex).  Well, I thought to myself: If it has four arms, then shouldn't it be able to wield two two-handed weapons?  As far as I can tell, it should work. That said, how would that work, exactly? I would assume that it would work like usual two-weapon wielding as far as feats and the like, and it would gain all the bonuses from two-weapon wielding as well. However, as this isn't exactly something that happens often, and thus there are no rules for it (that I can find) I can't be sure of any of this. Does anyone know of anything that could help me with this? Marshal "char *" in C# Given the following C function in a DLL:  char * GetDir(char* path );   How would you P/Invoke this function into C# and marshal the char * properly. .NET seems to know how to do LPCTSTR but when I can't figure out any marshaling that doesn't cause a NotSupportedException to fire when calling this function. The locus of the intersection point of two perpendicular tangents to a given ellipse For a given ellipse, find the locus of all points P for which the two tangents are perpendicular.   I have a trigonometric proof that the locus is a circle, but I'd like a pure (synthetic) geometry proof. Suppose I have a python object x and a string s, how do I set the attribute s on x? So:  &gt;&gt;&gt; x = SomeObject() &gt;&gt;&gt; attr = 'myAttr' &gt;&gt;&gt; # magic goes here &gt;&gt;&gt; x.myAttr 'magic'   What's the magic? The goal of this, incidentally, is to cache calls to x.__getattr__(). I get this error:  Can't locate Foo.pm in @INC  Is there an easier way to install it than downloading, untarring, making, etc? Where to ask "subjective and argumentative" questions on programming? Recently  was "closed as subjective and argumentative".  I wonder, where would you recommend to ask such questions? This is a  about hostname-awareness and proxying.   I know that some protocols are hostname-aware; that is, when I connect to the HTTP server at www.example.com it knows I want www.example.com's HTTP service, not www.example.net's, even though they are on the same IP address.  How can I do this for protocol foo?  (Temporary note: this question appears pursuant to .) Seeking world map with boundaries of regions and communities for commercial use? Is it two-third or two-thirds? Is it two-third or two-thirds? If both are correct, how does their usage differ? I just wanted to make some input where I press a key and the auto-repeat function engages so I don't have to press the 0 key many times to make a long number.  10000000000000000000000000000  This has always worked without fail in the past, but it's not something I do often and I'm not sure where to look next to figure out what might be preventing this.     I've toggled the sliders to change the delay for key repeat, but the only thing I can hang my hat on is that perhaps Lion disables this with the new feature where you hold down some keys (like the vowels, but also some consonants) to get alternate accented characters.  s turns into ß or ś or š and so on....  Am I missing an obvious setting, or is this something that has moved to a hidden setting or is simply a bug that these controls are still around since key repeat is now deprecated?  Comments welcome if anyone doesn't have an answer, but can provide specifics where this does work for them. I've checked two Macs so I'm guessing it's not related to keyboard type or connection method. I am trying to analyze data based on a sample size of around 50 and would appreciate advice on which statistical test would be most appropriate. Participants, on a single questionnaire, were asked to complete two different sections. Variable 1: rating Likert items on a scale from 1-5 (strongly agree to disagree). Variable 2: rating Likert items of a validated tool on a scale of 1-9, which is averaged to obtain a single number.  My research question is: Do those who 'agree' with the statement in the first section significantly differ in terms of their scores on the variable 2, compared to those who 'disagree'? (ex. Do participants tend to 'agree' with "I like to read books for pleasure." have higher IQs (variable 2) than those who 'disagree'?)  I was advised by a colleague to run a one-way ANOVA with variable 1 (categorical) as IV and variable 2 (continuous) as DV.   Question 1: My independent variable is the three groups: 'agree', 'neutral', and 'disagree.' (I combined strongly agree with agree because of low frequencies and likewise for strongly disagree and disagree.) However, there are many more participants in the 'agree' category than in the 'disagree' category. The distribution is, on average, around 44 agrees, 3 neutrals, and 3 disagrees. Do the (very) unequal sample sizes prevent me from performing ANOVA, or any other tests? Which test would be most appropriate for this analysis?  Question 2: I would like to run analyses on all of the Likert items, which is more than 10 statements. (ex. Seeing how IQs correlate with agreement to many statements including “I like to read books for pleasure,” “I watch a lot of TV,” “I exercise more than 30 minutes each week,” etc.) I was planning to do a Bonferroni correction to adjust for the multiple tests. Would this be correct, and help make my analyses more robust? Note: The continuous data are not normally distributed (there is negative skewness), but I seem to be able to correct the skewness using logarithmic transformation.  Any advice or suggestions for papers to read would be appreciated. Thank you! What evidence is there that 'to' belongs to any particular part of speech? Reopen note:  There is a quite finite and modest amount of evidence in the literature about this issue, which members can record here as they see fit. Less than there is for example about what a noun is or what a verb is, or how to tell what the Subject of a sentence is. It's a simple question, that people need to be able to get answered on a site such as this. It is of continuing interest as more recent questions such as  attest to. The fact that people disagree about the outcome of the evidence does not mean that there is too much evidence to be documented. Quite the reverse. They disagree because there is relatively little evidence altogether. However, it is seriously interesting evidence.   The question   What part of speech is to as in:   I need to know. To err is human, to forgive divine. What am I to do?   This question is not really about the difference in meaning between the examples. It is a question about what grammatical or syntactic reasons we have to classify this item as a particular part of speech. If arguing that it is 'its own part of speech', I'd like to know what grammatical - but not historical - reasons you have for your claim.   Just to clarify, I'm not asking about what assignment any particular authority or publication gives it. I'm interested to know the reasons why. Your own personal insights are also very welcome.  If you're a grammar anorak - like me - then you may want a list of the contenders out there from other grammarians.

When creating a new ASP.NET AJAX Web Application in Visual Studio 2005, the default web.config contains the following section (inside the compilation node):  &lt;assemblies&gt;     &lt;add assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/&gt; &lt;/assemblies&gt;   Whether or not the assemblies node exists doesn't seem to affect the AJAX functionality.  Update panels, etc work fine regardless of whether or not the reference to System.Web.Extensions is included in Web.Config.  What's the purpose of this section, and can it be safely removed? ZFC + $\exists$ Standard model $\rightarrow$ Con(ZFC + $\exists \omega$-model) $ZFC + \exists V_\alpha$ model of $ZFC \vdash Con(ZFC + \exists$ transitive standard model of $ZFC)$  and then  $ZFC + \exists$ transitive standard model of $ZFC \vdash Con(ZFC + \exists \omega-model$ of $ZFC)$  For the first one :   We can always find a countable extentional $M \subset V_\alpha$ elementary equivalent to $V_\alpha$. Let $M&#39;$ be the mostowski collapse of $M$. $M&#39; \approx M$ so $M&#39;$ is model of ZFC. And because $M&#39;$ is countable and transitive then $M&#39; \in V_\alpha$ (since $H_{\omega_1} \subset V_{\omega_1}$ and $\alpha$ is surely far larger than $\omega_1$).   So $V_\alpha$ is the model of '$\exists$ a standard transitive model of ZFC'.  For the second one :   I don't really know how to do it... Does anyone have an idea ? Proving that if $G$ has a Hamiltonian circuit, then the line graph $L(G)$ also has a Hamiltonian Circuit I have a graph G = (V, E). I know that the line graph L(G) of G is defined as follows: each vertex in L(G) corresponds to an edge in G, and two vertices are connected by an edge in L(G) if and only if the corresponding edges in G are adjacent.  Now I am trying to (a) prove that if G has a Hamiltonian circuit, then L(G) also has a Hamiltonian circuit, and (b) give an example of a graph G such that G does not have a Hamiltonian circuit but L(G) does.  However, I'm extremely stuck on how to do this, and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! I'm working in a C++ unmanaged project.  I need to know how can I take a string like this "some data to encrypt" and get a byte[] array which I'm gonna use as the source for Encrypt.  In C# I do    for (int i = 0; i &lt; text.Length; i++)     buffer[i] = (byte)text[i];   What I need to know is how to do the same but using unmanaged C++.  Thanks! A book on quantum mechanics supported by the high-level mathematics I'm interested in quantum mechanics book that uses high level mathematics (not only the usual functional analysis and the theory of generalised functions but the theory of pseudodifferential operators etc, certainly the modern mathematics).
