"it was ... interesting to see these (1) quite deprived areas (1) erm  (.)"  Is quite here being used as an quantifier and is the noun "areas" countable in this context? It sounds to me like 'quite' is also used as a filler but I'm not sure. For example, when girls colloquially add unecessary "like" and "really" in their phatic talk.
The adverb "quite" has the following meanings :     1: wholly, completely ("not quite   finished")      2: to an extreme : positively "quite   sure" —often used as an intensifier   with a "quite a swell guy" "quite a   beauty"      3: to a considerable extent : rather   ("quite near")   My understanding is that #1 and #2 conflict with #3. For example, when you say "She's quite right", do you mean "She's completely right" or "To a considerable extent, she's right"? Notice that in the latter case you're not saying that she is completely right.  Another example is "I'm quite sure". Does it necessarily mean "I'm completely sure"?   Does the word really have conflicting meanings that can possibly cause ambiguity? Or am I missing something?
"This is a favorite question" tooltip when not favorite Blender 2.78 with Windows 10 lags when interacting with the UI Update  This has been confirmed resolved in a later version 376.33 and possibly the update prior.     Okay, I recently did a computer update. I used to run Blender 2.77 on a Dell desktop (5 GB RAM, 2.7 GHZ, Windows 8, build in graphics card). Since that computer wasn't fast enough for my preference, I saved up and got a new gaming laptop - the Asus ROG GL552 (Windows 10, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M with 4 GB DDR5 RAM, 2.6-3.5 Ghz, and quad-core intel processor). That laptop has been known to have outdated drivers, so when I got it, I updated it to up to date Windows 10 drivers.  As soon as I started Blender, I immediately noticed its speed. Even doing simple things, like clicking buttons, or rotating the view with the middle mouse button, took too long to register in the program. I tried changing some User Preference System settings, but that didn't really help much. And the hardware seems to be fine - the render is lightning fast (renders the startup scene in under .1 second; it's just laggy when loading the uv screen), so I don't know why it's like this, or what to do. Also, I ran Blender 2.77 on this computer, and it was also slow (although it was fine on my previous computer).  It could be an issue with drivers perhaps (or maybe OpenGL?), but I ran Unreal Engine 4, and had none of the same issues - the speed was pretty decent on that; so I'm not sure why Blender would be so slow. Any help is appreciated - thanks guys! I am trying to find the name of a direct to TV movie, possibly a 2-3 part miniseries which I believe aired on the SciFi channel in the 90s. I don't remember who starred in it, but the movie opened with an astronaut attempting reentry whose shuttle ends up exploding. He awakes in a large bubble of air in a river and after reaching the surface and swimming to shore, meets several other people, from seemingly many different times throughout history (including one alien, who died on Earth).  Over the course of the movie, we learn the world is the afterlife, where everyone goes when they die. The major plot involves launching a steamboat (built by Mark Twain, no less) to travel up a river to the mountains, where the beings responsible for bringing everyone to this world are.  Does anyone know what the title of this movie/miniseries is? Optional argument to \item I am typesetting an ordered list where the entries may appear out of order, but should be assumed in order otherwise. I don't want to have to jump through \setcounter hoops to do this. That is, I want something like  \begin{enumerate}   \item First   \item Second   \item[8] Eighth!   \item Ninth!   \item[4] Fourth \end{enumerate}   to give the following Good output, instead of the Bad output:    A minimum working example follows.  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{enumitem} % preferably something compatible with this guy \begin{document}  Good:  \begin{enumerate}   \item[1.] First   \item[2.] Second   \item[8.] Eighth!   \item[9.] Ninth!   \item[4.] Fourth \end{enumerate}  Bad:  \begin{enumerate}   \item First   \item Second   \item[8] Eighth!   \item Ninth!   \item[4] Fourth \end{enumerate}  \end{document}   It should be noted that I don't want to have to specify the period afterwards, in case my list using a different numbering, e.g. Roman. Compatibility with enumitem is preferred, but not required.  What is the correct way of going about this? I hope somebody has already figured this one out. I just installed Geoserver 2.9 on a vanilla Ubuntu 16.04 distro. The Geoserver 2.8 method of enabling CORS with the shanbe.hezoun class does no longer work with Jetty 9.2.13.  There are mentions that CORS support is already packaged with Jetty 9.2.13 in the jetty-servlets.jar.  The Jetty lib which is compiled with Geoserver contains a jetty-servlet-9.2.13.v20150730.jar in geoserver/lib but not jetty-servlets.9.2.13.v20150730.jar. Are these supposed to be the same jar with a different name?  It should be possible to enable CORS either in geoserver/etc/webdefault.xml or in geoserver/webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/web.xml.  My understanding is that the webdefault.xml is applied first and the web.xml thereafter.  I have tried following filter in both xml. I haven't got as far as adding a filter mapping. Adding the filter alone will cause the Geoserver/Jetty service to not start proper.  &lt;filter&gt;     &lt;filter-name&gt;cross-origin&lt;/filter-name&gt;     &lt;filter-class&gt;org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CrossOriginFilter&lt;/filter-class&gt; &lt;/filter&gt; I would like to know how many switch can be stacked with fiber channel to get a best transfer rate between computers.  I have 200 computers connected to 12 3Com switches. All switches have two fiber ports.  Is the best way to have fiber backbone switch and connect fiber channel from every switch to the backbone? Or connect switch 1 to switch 2 to switch 3 to ... switch 12 to switch 1 again?  Thanks! Do you recommend using semicolons after every statement in JavaScript? In many situations, JavaScript parsers will insert semicolons for you if you leave them out. My question is, do you leave them out?  If you're unfamiliar with the rules, there's a description of semicolon insertion on the . Here's the key point:     If the first through the nth tokens of a JavaScript program form are grammatically valid but the first through the n+1st tokens are not and there is a line break between the nth tokens and the n+1st tokens, then the parser tries to parse the program again after inserting a virtual semicolon token between the nth and the n+1st tokens.   That description may be incomplete, because it doesn't explain @Dreas's example. Anybody have a link to the complete rules, or see why the example gets a semicolon? (I tried it in JScript.NET.)   is related, but only talks about a specific scenario. Re-entering the US for the third time in a year with total of 240 Days I went to the US for 90 days on an ESTA in August to November. Then back to my home country for 1 month and then back again mid December until mid February and now I am going back again after 10 days for another 90 days. Now I can see that some people refer to 180 day rule in a year. My stay will be 240 days in one year with short gaps between coming back. Is the 180 day rule accurate? Some people write that you can do unlimited trips to The US as long as you don't stay more than 90 days. Is that correct? My reason for going there the first time was to visit and travel with an American friend.  After my first visit (she is my girlfriend) moved with me to my home country but has ended up in a custody battle in the US so she needed to return urgently so I returned only to be with her and support her, not to be a tourist.  Then after my second visit I needed to go back to my sick Dad and to rent out my apartment since we left in a rush to go back to the US.  Now, my third visit is to continue to be with my girlfriend and support her in her difficult situation.   My question is, if I do end up in trouble should I tell them this whole story? Or should I just say I am visiting a friend for a third time because I want to see more of the country and I have some more time off before I go back to my job.  I have proof of money in my bank account and I stay and eat with her for free Documented proof that I have a job to return to in my home country My return ticket printed and an address to stay at in the US and I have proof I have an apartment in my home country Which function ($f$) is continuous nowhere but $|f(x)|$ is continuous everywhere? Which function ($f$) is continuous nowhere but $|f(x)|$ is continuous everywhere?   I found this question , the question seems much interesting but for obvious reason it is closed there, I was wondering how to derive such a function? Let the ring of fractions be denoted as $S^{-1}R$.       Proposition (from Robert Ash's textbook "Basic Abstract Algebra")      Define $f: R \rightarrow S^{-1}R$ by $f(a) = a/1$. Then f is a ring homomorphism. If S has no zero divisors then f is a monomorphism, and we say that R can be embedded in $S^{-1}R$. In particular:      (i) A commutative ring R cna be embedded in its complete (or *full) ring of fractions ($S^{-1}R$, where S consists of all non-divisors of zero in R).       (ii) An integral domain can be embedded in its quotient field.    Why does the proposition say "If S has no zero divisors..."? If S really had zero divisors, then this wouldn't even be properly defined, right? Because we would have a/0 for some a in R.

Is there a particular reason why vote times are omitted in the data dump?  IMO this could be a very useful data-set. Is this one of the steps that was done to anonymize the data, or does it simply not exist? This would be a very good addition to future dumps to help build time-based relationships, which are currently very rigid and full of assumptions. How do you get the current time in milliseconds (long), in VB.Net? Why is a stock that pays a dividend preferrable to one that doesn't? I understand that a dividend is a way for a company to return money to shareholders. But I'm not quite understanding why it is preferable to capital appreciation and putting the money to work increasing the earnings and revenue of the company. I get that people who buy stocks to get income from dividends, but the decrease in the price of a stock that correlates directly to the amount of the dividend seems to me like it's a zero-sum game.  Part of me thinks that I just fall into the Warren Buffet camp of thought that the money can be spent more wisely in house. But the other part feels like the desire for a dividend is to reinvest and add shares at a lower price (the price the stock goes to ex-dividend).   What am I missing here? Whenever I'm trying to close a file that has been changed, I get the save file dialog    I remember that the Don't Save button used to have focus, so I could press it using Spacebar, while pressing Enter would click on Save. But now on Lion, I'm unable to find a way to press the Don't Save using keyboard only, since Tab doesn't change focus to anything, and space doesn't work either.  This is the same for all file save dialogs in the system. Is there any way I can press the Don't Save button using keyboard only? What's the difference between an Application, a Process, and a Service?
