The behavior of the Borg changed dramatically in First Contact and Voyager. Critics have called this "" and a "".  Could the change in behavior be explained by Hugh's individuality virus affecting the Collective and fragmenting it into more and less competent factions?
Unless I missed something key during Descent 1/2, how is it that the Borg are once again a collective?
if 2 random variables have exactly same mean and variance If two continuous random variables have exactly the same expected value and variance, do they always have the same distribution? Changing Screen Brightness Through Keyboard Functions on My Notebook I've installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my Asus X555LJ.  But I don't know how to install drivers or how to enable function keys to controls screen backlight brightness. bilinear form - proof I have to prove that the mapping $f(x,y)={\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{n}}{\displaystyle \sum_{j=1}^{n}}x_{i}y_{j}{f}(e_{i},e_{j})$  is a bilinear form, that is, inter alia, the condition: $f(x+y,z)=f(x,z)+f(y,z)$  I have: $f(x+y,z)=f\left({\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{n}}x_{i}e_{i}+{\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{n}}y_{k}e_{k},{\displaystyle \sum_{j=1}^{n}}z_{j}e_{j}\right)=f\left({\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{n}}{\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{n}}\left(x_{i}e_{i}+y_{k}e_{k}\right),{\displaystyle \sum_{j=1}^{n}}z_{j}e_{j}\right)=\ldots$  and what's next?

Say a security has been trading at under $20.10, and there are limit orders selling at $20.10 and $20.21. Then Simon issues a limit order to buy at $20.21. According to , Simon would end up buying shares at $20.10.  Why does the exchange favor the buyer here?  I.e., why does the transaction execute at the seller's limit of $20.10 instead of the buyer's limit of $20.21?  (I.e., why don't Inara/River get to sell at $20.21 / above their limit, but Simon gets to buy at $20.10 / below his limit?)  Is the example flawed?  If it makes a difference, I'm mainly curious about NASDAQ and NYSE.  I tried Googling for specs (e.g. ), but couldn't find anything.  Only found that some  implementation executes the average of the buy/ask.  Just curious how the system works. I know $[0,1]$ denotes the interval between 0 and 1 with the boundary. And $(0,1)$ denotes the interval between 0 and 1 without the boundary. Today, I encounter some expressions as $]0,1]$, $]-\infty,+\infty]$. What does $]0,1]$ mean? Thanks. When to capitalize words such as "lake", and when can the whole word be omitted? Which of the following sentences are correct?     "He gave two examples of large lakes, Lake Michigan and Lake   Superior."      "He gave two examples of large lakes, Michigan and Superior."      "He gave two examples of large Lakes, Michigan and Superior."      "He gave two examples of large lakes, Lakes Michigan and Superior."   This question is primarily about what variants are formally correct, not which one sounds the best.  I think that the question should be valid for several words of the same kind, such as mountain (Mount), figure (Figure), table (Table) and so on. After Doomsday was defeated, a spec-ops team sent to the Kryptionian ship in Metropolis found Luthor submerged in water, in front of a... thing, which "held" three metal cubes.

How do I fix Google Chrome's latest new tab page? I've just updated to the latest Google Chrome Dev build, and they've changed from the annoying-but-ok new tab page to an ugly and less usable page.  On the old one, nine thumbnails was not enough, and now they've restricted it to eight.  There's an empty "Tips and Suggestions" box which I wouldn't want even if it had stuff in; they've added Recent Downloads - on the rare occasions when I need that, I'll hit Ctrl-J to open the Downloads tab; and the site-specific search box on the right has now gone!  Is there a way to get the old new tab page back, or a plugin to provide a superior one?   Update: I launch Chrome by pressing Win+R and entering "chrome" - I have a shortcut on the Path with a Target of "C:\Documents and Settings\&lt;user&gt;\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --old-new-tab-page and whilst double-clicking this shortcut brings up the previous new tab page, using the keyboard method results in the old one.  How do I get it working via the Run box? (Without using a batch file, which slows things down too much.)  Update 2: GRRR! Now they've gone and stopped the --old-new-tab-page parameter from working at all! I hate this new version of the page that they're forcing upon us - can anyone provide a method to get rid of it and get the decent page back? Is this a correct demonstration for why elements above untriseptium cannot exist? With the confirmation that elements 113, 115, 117, and 118 are indeed fundamental elements that are now to be named on the periodic table, the next question is: what is the highest atomic number possible for an element? Feynman had a go at this years ago, and he derived (according to my limited understanding) that above element-137 (informally denoted 'Feynmanium') the electrons in the nearest orbit about the nucleus would be traveling at a velocity greater than the speed of light. (Note I am considering the Bohr model of the atom in this question.) I wished to demonstrate to my friends why this is and I came up with the following explanation.  According to Bohr's quantum condition, the angular momentum of an electron about the nucleus is given by $$ L=m_evr_n=n\hslash \implies r_n=\frac{n\hslash}{m_ev},$$ where $m_e$ is the mass of the electron, $v$ its velocity, $n$ an integer, and $r_n$ the radius of the $n$th possible orbit. Because we are concerned with the nearest orbit to the nucleus, $n=1$; and thus $$r=\frac{\hslash}{m_ev}.$$   Now, according to Coulomb's law, if the electron orbits about the nucleus the centripetal motion can be described by $$\frac{Ze^2}{4\pi\epsilon_or}=m_ev^2, $$ where $Z$ denotes the number of protons in the nucleus (the atomic number), and $e$ the elementary charge. Solving for $Z$ and substituting in $r$ from above yields $$Z=\frac{4\pi\epsilon_o \hslash v}{e^2}. $$ But what is $v$? Well, the maximum velocity an electron could ever have is the speed of light, and we wish to find the atomic number associated with an orbiting electron traveling at this speed, so we set $v=c$ and obtain our final result of $$Z=\frac{4\pi\epsilon_o\hslash c}{e^2}\approx 137.521,$$ which implies that for $Z&gt;137$, the electrons at a position of $n=1$ in the Bohr model would have a velocity $&gt;c$; and thus the highest atomic number achievable on the periodic table is 137.  Again, I just want to make sure this is a correct method for deriving element-137 before presenting. Perhaps one could explain how relativity plays a role here. I know Feynman used the Dirac equation to get this result...so could anyone (subsequently of course) expatiate on this in a simplistic manner? Thanks! Prove that $\sin x+2x\ge\frac{3x(x+1)}{\pi}$ for all $x\in [0,\frac{\pi}{2}]$ Below is experimental data for the ratio $$R=\frac{\sigma(e^+e^-\rightarrow hadrons)}{\sigma(e^+e^-\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-)}$$ as a function of the centre of mass energy $\sqrt s$. I am interested in the peak at around $100GeV$ which corresponds to the resonance of the $Z^0$ boson. There are two ways of looking at this that I have in mind:  We can effectively ignore the electromagnetic process around this energy, and so each process should have it's own Breit-Wigner peak centred on the mass energy of the $Z^0$. The ratio of these is just a constant. Thinking in terms of Feynman rules and again ignoring the electromagnetic process around this region, each process has the same propagator and vertex factors (roughly - ignore quark mixing) and there are some extra factors due to different quarks being possible and colour degeneracy, but still the ratio should be a constant (one possible issue here is interference between Feynman diagrams which I have neglected?).  So my question is why does the peak exist in the data? How do I install the latest OpenOffice? Since reading the answers to my question about  I've been good about giving my meat time to defrost in the refrigerator. However, my plans for tonight have changed and I'd like to defrost some ground beef that is completely frozen for dinner this evening. What are my options to do so quickly and safely? Is there anyway in a flex application to figure out (in runtime) when the running swf was compiled?  I'd like to compare this with the latest file version of the swf on the server and detect if there's a newer version on the server and if so force the user to reload their browser to get the new version.   I need this to also work with swfs from the cache.
