I'm trying to break down the english language in a computer program. Having a hard time figuring out those two. I think that they should be adjectives though because they are descriptive as in   a watermelon - any random watermelon  the watermelon - some specific watermelon  and also because I can't find any other use for them. When I learned english in school, I think my teacher called them something like "articles" (direct translation, don't know the english for it) but that doesn't help me at all.
When I look at the definition given from the Mac OS X Dictionary (I have set American English as interface language, and the dictionary used is then the New Oxford American Dictionary), I read:     the /ði/ /ð(ə)/ /ði/ [called the definite article]   adjective   1. denoting one or more people or things already mentioned or assumed to be common knowledge: what's the matter? | call the doctor | the phone rang. Compare with a.   • used to refer to a person, place, or thing that is unique: the Queen | the Mona Lisa | the Nile.   • informal denoting a disease or affliction: I've got the flu.   • (with a unit of time) the present; the current: dish of the day | man of the moment.   • informal used instead of a possessive to refer to someone with whom the speaker or person addressed is associated: I'm meeting the boss | how's the family?   • used with a surname to refer to a family or married couple: the Johnsons were not wealthy.   • used before the surname of the chief of a Scottish or Irish clan: the O'Donoghue.   I have never thought of an article as adjective. Is normally an article defined as adjective?
Is there something similar to sprintf() in C#?  I would for instance like to convert an integer to a 2-byte byte-array.  Something like:  int number = 17; byte[] s = sprintf("%2c", number); Get material and color of material on a face of an object in Python I want to iterate over the faces of a mesh and get the diffuse color of the material that is assigned to the face. How can I get the material that is assigned to the face of the object and the diffuse color of that material? 'This post has been deleted' appears above the flag bar Let $t∈\Bbb N$ and let $x=6t+1, \:y=12t+1$ and $z=18t+1$. $x, y$ and $z$ are all primes and let $n=xyz$. Prove that  $a ^{n-1} \equiv 1 \pmod  n\;$ whenever $ a∈\Bbb Z$ and $\gcd(a,n) = 1$.  I have started using the Euler-Fermat Theorem since $\gcd(a,n)=1$. Giving $\phi (n)=(1296t^3) $ But unsure how to proceed? Can someone please elucidate the difference between "many" and "many a"? In what context of usage should we add an extra "a" beside the word "many"?  For example:         Many times, I had seen that . . . .   Many a times, I had seen that . . . .      I do not know if the example is accurate enough to support my question, but I would like to know the difference between how they are used. $f:\mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ be a continuous such that $f(f(f(x)))=x,\forall x \in \mathbb R$ , is $f(x)=x , \forall x \in \mathbb R$? Let $f:\mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ be a continuous function such that $f(f(f(x)))=x,\forall x \in \mathbb R$ , then is it true that $f(x)=x , \forall x \in \mathbb R$ ? I can see that $f$ is bijective , hence strictly monotone . But I cannot progress further . Please help.

I recently downloaded a torrent directly onto an external hard drive, (using a 2009 MacBook Pro and 1TB Seagate Expansion portable Drive) somehow during the download the drive was accidentally ejected, since this incident when I plug the drive back in it’s having problems reading.  The drive works fine for about 10 minutes, I can read/copy/paste and access files but then starts to wreak havoc; apps hangs, it hangs the Finder, etc.  I’ve tried repairing it in Disk Utility, which reads and repairs this disk but problems inevitably continue as described above.  I’ve deleted the Torrent file also. All my files on this external drive so re-formatting is not an option until I can retrieve them. How to encrypt individual folders? Let's say that I have a folder, within my Documents folder, that has files I want no one to access without a password.  Is there a way to lock down that folder so that it's password protected / encrypted?  In fact, is it possible to password-protect any individual folder? How do you correctly say large numbers jQuery not working in Wordpress 3.5 The following quote from  assumes "the URL" comes from somewhere and uses it to restrict the Host header. Where does "the URL" come from? Is it from the first line of a HTTP request (e.g. after GET), or from the input to a web client (e.g. an argument to curl, or the input in the address bar of a web browser)? Thanks.     The Host header specifies the Internet host and port number for the   resource being requested, as obtained from the original URL:  Host = "Host" ":" host [ ":" port ]       In particular:      • If the Host header does not contain a port, the default port for the   scheme is assumed.      • If the URL contains an IP address, the Host header should contain   the same address.      • If the URL contains a hostname, the Host header must contain the   same name.      • If the URL contains a hostname, the Host header should not contain   the IP address equivalent to the URL’s hostname, because this will   break virtually hosted servers, which layer multiple virtual sites   over a single IP address.      • If the URL contains a hostname, the Host header should not contain   another alias for this hostname, because this also will break   virtually hosted servers. Is SO/SE about to be sold (and does that explain recent events)? Making a 3D map with shapefiles, lidar and aerial image data I want to try to make a simple 3D map for a small area (10 square miles) with some housing, some roads and some vegetation on it. My geodata is as follows:    shapes with houses/roads/vegetation.  LIDAR point cloud data over the area (can easily be built to a dem). georeferenced aerial image.   Any idea where to start to bundle these geodata together and make a neat looking 3D map? Fermat: Last two digits of $7^{355}$ I am doing this problem mentioned above and I know the answer because I know Euler's Theorem that $$a^{\varphi{(m)}}\equiv{1}\pmod{m}.$$  I used 100 as my modulus and got that the last two digits of $7^{355}$ are $43$.  My question is this.  What prime should I pick to solve this problem using Fermat's theorem $$a^{p-1}\equiv{1}\pmod{p}$$  As a precursor problem, the author (Dudley; Elementary Number Theory) asked to find the last digit of the number above; so using a modulus $5$, $7^4\equiv{1}\pmod{5}$ by Fermat.  Since the answer is $7^{355}\equiv{3}\pmod{5}$, the last digit is either $3$ or $8$.  Since $7$ is odd, the answer will clearly be odd, so $3$ is it.  The book is working linearly, building from the previous chapters and Euler's Theorem isn't mentioned for another two chapters (I remembered Euler from a problem solving class in college).    So again, what prime would be best?  How should I procede?    EDIT: I've seen a bunch of problems on the site and none that I looked at did it using Fermat.  If there is one, that could be posted and I would be happy.  EDIT 2:  it seems that the problem of finding of finding the last two digits using is rather difficult because of the implication that we need something mod 100.  Is there a way around this , like adding a step or complexifying, in order to finish the problem with Fermat? Changing colors of lightning-button Why can only some child meta sites host chat rooms? Is there any way to bypass this restriction? When I try to create a new  room from , and type "meta" in the "select a site" box, I see only 8 child meta sites. Any specific reason for this?  Update:  I just noted  (pointed out by ). The conclusion of the experiment there was:        This experiment suggests that only the meta sites, for which at least   one room already exists, are offered.   ...the distinction between beta sites and graduated sites is not sufficient to explain this.      So, if I'm reading it correctly, it is currently impossible to create a room hosted on those child metas which do not already have an existing meta room (smells like a bug!)? Or is there a way to bypass this restriction somehow?  I can think of several legitimate reasons as to why a site may choose to keep their main chat rooms and meta chat rooms separate. Killing off that freedom of choice, and that too non-uniformly, isn't a good idea. If this really is a  rather than  (for a good cause), then it should be fixed! Can markdown icons be available on the iPad? As you can see by the screenshot below, neither buttons nor even the live-preview is available on the iPad.    StackExchange is great on mobile devices, maybe it can be full available in mobile safari as well.  The same thing happens with the tags autocomplete, there is no options for it! we need to check previous questions to know what tags are available to use.

How are Files different from Attachment? Are there any limitations or benefits of using Files instead of Attachments?  Are Files available for all editions of Salesforce?  Is it possible to link Files to particular records so they are visible as related list? I tried looking into the content version  but cant seem to find anything to relate to a record
