Why Strongly Typed DataSets generated by MS tool don't close streams? I've just found that method in xsd dataset.  [System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()]         protected override System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchema GetSchemaSerializable() {             global::System.IO.MemoryStream stream = new global::System.IO.MemoryStream();             this.WriteXmlSchema(new global::System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(stream, null));             stream.Position = 0;             return global::System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchema.Read(new global::System.Xml.XmlTextReader(stream), null);                         }   It creates 3 streams, but not using "using" clausule/closing them. Why is that? It also says, at the top of the file, that   //     Changes to this file may cause incorrect behavior and will be lost if //     the code is regenerated.   So I believe I shouldn't fix it myself. Can anyone explain? :) Thanks
Is a memory leak created if a MemoryStream in .NET is not closed? I have the following code:  MemoryStream foo(){     MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();     // write stuff to ms     return ms; }  void bar(){     MemoryStream ms2 = foo();     // do stuff with ms2     return; }   Is there any chance that the MemoryStream that I've allocated will somehow fail to be disposed of later?    I've got a peer review insisting that I manually close this, and I can't find the information to tell if he has a valid point or not.
A coin is tossed $n$ times. What is the probability of getting odd number of heads? A coin is tossed $n$ times. What is the probability of getting odd number of heads?   I started this chapter sometimes ago and faced in front of a tough problem. At first I started considering cases. Case-I : The probability of getting 1 head.Case-II : The probability of getting 3 head and so on. But there are many cases. So how can I solved this . Please help me. Thank you! As I navigate through physics stackexchange, I noticed .  Electrons radiate light when revolving around nucleus? Why is it so obvious?  Note that I do not know anything about quantum mechanics - and I just want classical stories. Can I use a variable in a Bash brace expansion? Note: TL;DR, scroll to bottom for summary. I recently set up my computer for a dual boot between Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7. My current drive setup is as follows.  | A1 |     A2       | | B1    |  B2  | B3 |        A1: 100 mb, windows 7 "System   Reserved" boot partition      A2: 230 gb, data section, this one   needs to be shared between the   operating systems      B1: 125 gb, windows 7 OS      B2: 123 gb, ubuntu OS      B3: 2gb, linux swap space     Pretty much I want to have my documents, music, pictures, videos, etc accessible from both operating systems. My first attempt involved making the data (a2) partition NTFS, and moving my home folder from ubuntu to the data partition. However, as I read NTFS does not work nice with permission, and it messed up my home folder. My next idea is one of the following: 1) format the data partition to ext2/3/4 and move my home folder from linux there, and get a driver to read ext partitions in windows 7. The problem with that is that most of the ext drivers/software are not compatible with windows 7 or do not integrate with windows explorer (I really don't want to open a separate software window just to access my data, plus it's probably not compatible with other software.)  looks promising, but I'm not sure how it works with ext4 and windows 7 (not officially supported, when trying in Vista Compatibility Mode, it tells me I need to format the ext drive to use it). My next idea, 2) keep the home folder in ubuntu where it is, but create symlinks for the Documents, Music, etc folders to an NTFS formatted Data (A2) partition, and add those locations to the windows 7 libraries. I'm not totally sure how the permissions would work out, but it should be fine since it's only the documents, music, etc and not the important config files in the rest of /home/user/. Correct me if I'm wrong. Currently, symlinks is my best idea, although i'm not sure how it will work.  Any suggestions, additions to my ideas, links, pointers, whatever would be greatly appreciated. Even if it means I should reformat both my drives and repartition (2 250gb drives if you want to suggest a setup for that), I won't be too opposed if that's the best suggestion (I've gone through the format/install/format/reinstall process 5 times over the past 3 days, once more won't hurt me).    TL;DR, summary:  I have two hard drives. One is partitioned for Ubuntu and Windows 7, the second one I want accessible to both operating systems to store documents, music, pictures, videos, etc. Suggestions on how to set up the data drive.    P.S. bonus if I can get an apache server document root folder working between the two OS's as well (permissions could become very complicated, so don't worry too much about that)  P.P.S. Related question, but data viewing is one way: As the title say, I want to prove that  $C_c^{\infty}(\mathbb R^n)$ is dense in $W^{k,p}(\mathbb R^n)$  i.e.  $\displaystyle{ W^{k,p} (\mathbb R^n) = W_0^{k,p}(\mathbb R^n)  \quad (\star)}$. In a book I found that in order to prove it, we need the following claim:  Claim: Let $\displaystyle{\zeta \in C^{\infty} ([0, \infty)) }$ such that $\zeta (t)  =1 $ for $ t \leq 1 $ and $\displaystyle{ \zeta (t) =0 }$ for $ t \geq 2$. For $R&gt;0$ and  $x \in \mathbb R^n$ define $\displaystyle{ \eta_R (x) = \zeta \left( \frac{|x|}{R} \right)}$. If $ \displaystyle{ u \in W^{k,p} ( \mathbb R^n) }$ with $1 \leq p &lt; \infty $ then, $\displaystyle{ \eta_R u \to u }$ in $W^{k,p}(\mathbb R^n) $ as $ R \to \infty$.  If I prove the claim then the $(\star)$ follows using mollifiers. But unfortuently I have stuck, with the proof of the claim.  Any ideas? I thought I remembered hearing the food agency  say that you should never reheat chicken meat after the initial cooking. However, I cannot find the statement of it anymore. Now I'm starting to suspect my memory.  Could this statement be true?  Is it unsafe to reheat chicken? On August 5, 41 days ago, I submitted an application for a UK visitor visa. This is the third time I have applied. The only notice I have received so far says this: "Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward. This means that we will be unable to make a decision within our published customer service standards." What should I do? I ran into the "mysterious"  \pdfendlink ended up in different nesting level than \pdfstartlink   error.  According to , "this happens when hyperref is used under pdftex and a citation splits across a page boundary".  The given solution is to manual fix the citation to not split across the page boundary.  However, this workaround isn't feasible for me, as the documents are automatically generated on a server with no user interaction.  Is there any solution to the problem known, perhaps an experimental hyperref action or a patch to pdftex?  (Probably, one could use luatex to solve the problem, but for other reasons, luatex is not an option in this project.)

In Avengers Hulk tried to raise Thor's hammer and failed miserably. In Avengers: Infinity War, Groot raises Thor's new axe and holds it for a few seconds! Is the axe made of some other light material, or is Groot stronger than Hulk? "register" keyword in C? What does the register keyword do in C language?  I have read that it is used for optimizing but is not clearly defined in any standard.  Is it still relevant and if so, when would you use it? For me the distinction between sites is purely topical. I get that there's a right and a wrong place to ask questions, but I regularly ask questions across a number of sites. They all log me in (in a weird sort of way), and now there's the global inbox.  I've read that there's a feed  and that there's a  but neither of these are what I want.  What I'd like is to have an RSS feed from my global inbox, i.e. to include notification of updates to my public questions, answers, comments. Is this possible? If a person uses the wrong form of your or you're, would that be considered a spelling or grammatical error? I can really see it swinging both ways...  A sentence with the incorrect use of the word is technically grammatically incorrect, but the root cause could be simple spelling error. If a person speaks a sentence with an incorrect use of the word in question, it seems grammatically correct. When you look at the reader's script, it is then determined to be a spelling error.  When shown in writing, should the error be marked as a spelling or grammatical error? Do the Ents go to the Undying Lands? Book series my dad told me about. It involves space travel, clones, and an indigenous people with kangaroo tails My dad read a book series that he recommended to me last year. Now that I am ready to start it, neither of us can recall the title. He said there were several in the series but he can't recall how many.   The book is about traveling to a new planet, presumably with the goal of colonizing it. The crew are clones who have no memory. I think the goal was for the older original versions of the clones to transfer their consciousness into the clone bodies to be able to live on the new planet but something goes wrong.   There is an indigenous species on the planet who are humanoid but have kangaroo like tails.   The clone crew has markings on them that they don't understand until late. Apparently they are markings to indicate status or role on the new world. The person who they voted as there leader, it turns out, is marked as a servant or slave class. I know I use them, and my peers use them, but how much does the average user actually use tooltips to figure out functionality? How to evaluate $ \lim \limits_{n\to \infty} \sum \limits_ {k=1}^n \frac{k^n}{n^n}$? I can show that the following limit exists but I am having difficulties to find it.

At this time of the day, I'm hoping for America to save my french ass ... again : ) How do you give a C# auto-property an initial value?  I either use the constructor, or revert to the old syntax.    Using the Constructor:  class Person  {     public Person()     {         Name = "Initial Name";     }     public string Name { get; set; } }   Using normal property syntax  (with an initial value)  private string name = "Initial Name"; public string Name  {     get      {         return name;     }     set     {         name = value;     } }   Is there a better way? How does space affect the human body (no space suit, no space craft) How does "outer space" affect the human body? Some movies show it as the body exploding, imploding or even freezing solid.   I know space is essentially a vacuum with 0 pressure and the dispersion of energy makes it very cold. So are the predictions above accurate? What is a fragment in a fragment shader? Wikipedia says that:     In general, a fragment can be thought of as the data needed to shade the pixel, plus the data needed to test whether the fragment survives to become a pixel (depth, alpha, stencil, scissor, window ID, etc.)   So is it textures, vertices or something else?
