Cylinder has small weird bumps when using Subdivision Surface
How can I use the subdivision surface modifier to create more high poly meshes without ruining sharp edges? For example this mesh  The sphere should be subdivided but the rim of the cylinder should stay the same because it is a sharp edge. This is the result of the subdevision  How can I get sharp edges to not be affected by the sub surf mod?
Compare using Thread.Sleep and Timer for delayed execution I have a method which should be delayed running for a specified amount of time.  Should I use  Thread thread = new Thread(() =&gt; {     Thread.Sleep(millisecond);     action(); }); thread.IsBackground = true; thread.Start();   Or  Timer timer = new Timer(o =&gt; action(), null, millisecond, -1);   I had read some  about using Thread.Sleep is bad design. But I don't really understand why.  But for using Timer, Timer has dispose method. Since the execution is delayed, I don't know how to dispose Timer. Do you have any suggestions?  Or if you have alternative codes for delayed execution are also appreciate. "Eat" is to "feed" as "drink" is to what? I can say "I feed someone". Am I forced to say "I give someone a drink", or is there a single word for this (as in "I [verb] someone")?  Unfortunately my thesaurus can't really help me. Interpretation of log transformed predictor and/or response Is there a canonical way to typeset such quantities in equations and inline math?  \documentclass{article} \begin{document} $Re$, $Nu$ are clearly not an option. $\mathit{Re}$, $\mathit{Nu}$ appear ok to me. \end{document} PSTricks error "Undefined control sequence  \c@lor@to@ps" I have a problem with this file tex:  \begin{document} \begin{figure} \begin{center} \begin{pspicture}(0,0)(1,3.8) \psline{-&lt;}(0,0)(0,.2) \psline{-}(0,.2)(0,.4) \psline{*-&gt;}(0,.4)(0,.9) \psline{-*}(0,.9)(0,1.4) \psline{-&lt;}(0,1.4)(0,2.4) \psline{-}(0,2.4)(0,3.4) \psline{*-}(0,3.4)(0,3.6) \psline{&gt;-}(0,3.6)(0,3.8) \rput(1,.4){$y=0$}%testo \rput(1,1.4){$y=1$} \rput(1,3.4){$y=3$} \end{pspicture} \end{center} \caption{} \end{figure} \end{document}   but I don't understand where is the error. Translation of these Cirth runes What is the translation of what's written below?  I think it may be the poem of the One Ring, but I'm not sure. Why does an atom remain uncharged after emission of an alpha particle? When an alpha particle is emitted, two protons and two neutrons leave the nucleus but the electrons remain the same in number. Why does the atom remain uncharged although it appears it should have a net charge of $-2e$? Missing Schengen entrance stamp Last night I took a night train from Romania to Hungary. I shared a compartment with another American backpacker (and others.) The border crossing on the Romanian side was normal -- all of our passports were stamped and the border officer recorded our data in his notepad. On the Hungarian side, some sort of commotion broke out further down the train car while we were being processed. The officer who was scanning and stamping our passports left and never came back. As a result, the other American backpacker never had her passport scanned or stamped.  What sort of difficulties might she run into since her passport has not been recorded as entering the schengen zone, nor does she have an extra stamp? What might get options be now, from within Schengen, to get her entrance recorded?  (When I say "scanned", the officers had hand-held devices that read the passport biometrics and I assume, recorded some sort of data somewhere.) Basis for Skew Symmetric Matrix I'm trying to find a basis for the kernel for the following mapping:  Considering the linear transformation T: $M_{33} \rightarrow M_{33}  $ defined by $T(A) = .5(A + A^T)$. I know that this is basically asking for the basis under the condition that $T(A)=0$ which means that $A+A^T=0$ so $A^T = -A$.  I found that matrices that fit this condition are Skew Symmetric Matrices.  However, I'm not sure how to find the basis for the kernel of these matrices. How to Mount Guest DOS OS with HOST OS.? I am newbie to VM concept. actually i have installed DOS6.22 under virtualbox and using 32bit windows 7 OS as HOST Operating System, now i want to copy some folders/files from HOST OS to DOS6.22 Guest OS. how can i copy.? Is there any way in unix to find out who accessed certain file in last 1 week? It may be user or some script ftp it to some other place. Can I get a list of user name who accessed certain file? How can I find out who is accessing particular file?? Deriving a QM expectation value for a square of momentum $\langle p^2 \rangle$ I already derived a QM expectation value for ordinary momentum which is: $$ \langle p \rangle=  \int\limits_{-\infty}^{\infty} \overline{\Psi}  \left(- i\hbar\frac{d}{dx}\right) \Psi \, d x $$ And I can read clearly that operator for momentum equals $\widehat{p}=- i\hbar\frac{d}{dx}$. Is there an easy way to derive an expectation value for $\langle p^2 \rangle$ and its QM operator $\widehat{p^2}$? For example,   If this van's a-rockin', don't come a-knockin'  (song title)   (song title)   I have a few related questions:   What is the "a-" or "-a" called? Is there a function beyond a rhythmic one? Why is "a-" attached to a word at all -- and why attach to a word at all? Setting environment variables for latex and bibtex in .bashrc Possible Duplicate:          I recently started using TeX to write journal articles. I use TeX Live version 2009-10 on a laptop running Ubuntu 10.10 (64-bit). I edit and compile the tex files using vim and vim-latexsuite.   Currently for each journal article I have all associated tex, bib, eps, etc. files in individual folders. I would like to simplify my life a bit and have a dedicated folder containing a "master" bib file - And maybe another folder for my custom style files.   My problem is that can't figure out how I should define the PATH, and other environment variables in my .bashrc file to find the necessary support files (e.g., the .bib file). Which variables do I need to set? PATH? MANPATH? TEXINPUTS? BIBINPUTS? Do Fortnite V-Bucks Purchases Save on All Platforms? So I'm thinking of buying some V-Bucks on Fortnite, Battle Royale mobile.

Consider the following batch file:  REM the following line successfully launches Microsoft Word start winword  REM none of the following commands work to launch Microsoft Word winword winword.exe winword.com winword.bat winword.cmd winword.vbs winword.vbe winword.js winword.jse winword.wsf winword.wsh winword.msc   What is it about the "start" instruction that allows the launching of Microsoft Word using the name "winword"?  My curiosity stems from my interest in the mechanics of the "start" verb - I don't need suggestions on other ways to start Microsoft Office.  Please don't suggest that I add the Microsoft Office directory to my PATH environment variable - I know what that would do.    How is start finding "winword" when cmd cannot find it directly? Do not disturb mode - but allow certain apps Is there a way to condition output on a given date? I'd like to be able to print text that varies depending on whether the date matches a given date string  For example  suppose there was a command   \iftoday#1#2#3   which printed #2 if \today matched the string in #1 and #3 otherwise.  So a sample of my proposed usage would be:     \iftoday{February 3, 2016}{There's no garbage today}{Please put out the garbage}    I've tried various commands like pdftexcmd's strcmp, to no avail.    I suspect the problem may have to do with matching the string generated by \today.    While on screen it appears that \today returns February 3, 2016. I can't get it to match February 3, 2016 when I compare strings.  Obviously, I'd be perfectly happy if I could get this to work by represent today's date in any of the standard date formats.  Thanks very much in advance for any suggestions. Fit a table into one page On the position of multiple sub and superindices
