Worldfire and Protection Let's say I have  on my side of the field, and my friend plays . Would Progenitus still be on the field after Worldfire resolves or is he also exiled since he has "Protection from everything?"
What does protection from [quality] do? Example 1) Let's say I have some random creature with protection from white, and my opponent plays , a white card with the effect "Destroy all creatures." Can my creature with protection from white be destroyed by a white card that isn't actually targeting it specifically?  Example 2) I was playing a match with a friend where I had  on the field against his 3 zombies. Is he able to declare his zombies as blockers even though Elite Inquisitor has "protection" from zombies?  If he can declare them as blockers, does protection mean that no damage is dealt by the zombies to  Elite Inquisitor?
Hide parameterless constructor on struct What does the tilde at the end of a file name stand for? In Windows, I believe that files with a tilde in the file name represent files that are currently open in an application. For example, Microsoft Word creates a file with almost the same name as the file you currently have open, but with a tilde in the name. It's icon is also partially faded. As far as I'm aware, this signifies a temporary file that exists   in case the application crashes and you didn't get a chance to save your file, or to allow the original file to remain unlocked by the file system and accessible to other applications.   In Linux, I ran into a *.log file with a tilde at the end of the file name (scan.log~). Does that mean the log file is currently open in another application that is potentially writing to it? SPSite and SPWeb object dispose inside foreach loop Command line option to check which filesystem I am using? Is there a command that will show which file system (ext3, ext4, FAT32, ...) the various partitions and disks are using?   Similar to how sudo fdisk -l lists information about disks and partitions? I remember my English teacher saying that there are only two valid ways to make a one-word sentence:   A question:      Why? Where?  A command:     Go! Stop!    Is this correct? "Give him a box that everyone knows what it contains." For ridiculously small hard drives (8GB), what Ubuntu Based (although not necessarily official) distribution offers the smallest installed size?  Let me clarify: I still want a certain amount of personal file space, preferably a few gig. I also don't have a problem with performance, while it is mediocre, a 2.6GHz single-core and 1GB of ram suffice to run ubuntu fine, but i find that it  uses 6-7GB of space. I am aiming for closer to 4GB. Vueling is currently experiencing , with many flights delayed by several hours. Assuming I'm at the airport and my flight is certainly delayed by more than 3 hours, can I simply book another flight and claim compensation later?  According to EU's :     In addition, if you are denied boarding, your flight is cancelled or arrives more than 3 hours late on arrival at the final destination stated on your ticket, you may be entitled to compensation of EUR 250 - 600, depending on the distance of the flight.   But it's not clear if I actually have to board the flight or if simply having a purchased ticket is sufficient. I presume it would be possible to negotiate with Vueling representatives at the airport, but I'd rather not wait in the inevitable 100-person line to their counter if I'm covered by EU law. When is using the past perfect tense not necessary? Is it more natural to speak in simple past or past perfect when explaining past events to a friend? It seems like Americans use more simple past in everyday life than past perfect. I found this example online:     I had almost completed my essay when my computer suddenly crashed and I noticed that I had forgotten to save the document.   Is it wrong to say the following instead?     I was almost done with my essay when my computer suddenly crashed and I noticed that I forgot to save the document.   Maybe it's just my friends, but I rarely hear them speak in past perfect, so I'm really torn about using past perfect when it isn't necessary. "modified" link in the home page questions list does not contain "?lastactivity" parameter I have just noticed that the "modified" link for  does not contain "?lastactivity" parameter in homepage questions list:        When , it's changing to https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/253359/list-of-communities-with-base-css-updates-completed/286876#286876 as it should, and showing the deleted answer to those who can see it.  Other questions I checked are not affected. Possible way to reproduce might be question with zero answers, where the "modified" was caused by a now-deleted answer. The following you could have seen in  (sorry, I've commented there, so you won't see it anymore) in Chrome 35.0.1916.153 m (current version). Notice how the add comment link overlaps the bounty box:    The same you can observe with a comment box on other sites, e.g. at this time in :    Could you shift it a bit down ?  It seems that it happens on more than just Stack Overflow (maybe all sites ?). Did Obi-Wan Kenobi ever become more powerful? In Star wars: IV A New Hope, Obi-Wan says to Darth Vader:     You can't win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.    What did he mean by this? Was he bluffing? Was he alluding to him being able to help Luke as a Force Ghost? Or was he talking on behalf of The Force? Linux Bulk/Remote Administration Beside our internal IT infrastructure, we've got around 500 Linux machines hosting our services for the on-line world. They are grouped in a bunch of clusters like Database A-n, Product A-n, NFS, Backoffice and so on. Furthermore, they are administered by an external provider, according to our specifications and requirements.  However, we face a lot of trouble during (web-) software development, roll-out and deploy - especially because the dev- and staging-environments have almost nothing in common with the live systems (I spare out the nasty details..).  Thus, I've tried to create virtual machines, copied the various live-systems as exactly as possible and prepared them to connect to e.g. the development-databases instead of the "real" ones transparently for developers (they aren't root). This works pretty well, but...  I was wondering how one could administer those systems remotely and in bulk? Is there some software family I'm not aware of? Or, at least, some techniques or principles one should be familiar with?  We would provide every developer with a bunch of images to be run locally (VirtualBox). The QA dept. would get virtual clusters (XEN or Hyper-V). If I need to provide an additional server-module, re-route a new database connection or just want to update everything provided by the package manager... how could I possibly do that without being forced to log on to every system and/or ask my colleagues to download and run some fixture-script?  I believe there are plenty of solutions. Well, somehow I'm too stupid to enter the correct keywords into the search engines... Or isn't this issue as trivial as it sounds?  For the record:   Almost all systems are running Debian GNU/Linux 6.x "squeeze" No developer is forced to use a particular OS at his/her workstation The budget is limited, of course, but not too small to buy proprietary software A solution that would involve our aforementioned provider is preferred The interaction of TeX and Lua can be quite delicate at times.  While the former has category codes and tokens, the latter has escape sequences and datatypes.  Mixing the disparate concepts of these two worlds can lead to unexpected behaviour which favours common errors, known as gotchas. In the community wiki answer below you can find an overview of the common mistakes that people make when getting to grips with LuaTeX.

I just installed Ubuntu and it is great.  However, I installed in beside the Windows Vista OS.  I now want to remove Windows in an effort to improve performance.  What is the easiest way to do this? How to determine an object's class? Prove that $\binom{m+n}{m}=\sum\limits_{i=0}^m \binom{m}{i}\binom{n}{i}$ I need to proof this following equality :  $$\binom{m+n}{m}=\sum_{i=0}^m \left(\binom{m}{i}\binom{n}{i}\right)$$  This is what I did combinatoric proof:  Left : subset with $m$ members from $m+n$  Right : $\binom{m}{i} \rightarrow$ The number of subsets in set $m$ could also be written as $2^m$ AND $\binom{n}{i} \rightarrow$ the number of subsets with $m$ members from set $n$  In case $ n \leq m \implies \binom{n}{i}=2^n$  So this is what I came up with I still can't see why those expression are equal.  Any ideas? Thanks. New flagging dialog has a duplicate for duplicate We've changed the flagging format from today(AFAIK) as below,        looks good.  But, when I select it should be closed for another reason...  I can see the same reason duplicate on the top.        What is the need of placing that reason over there? It should not be there. Please remove the dupe.
