I haven't seen any of the stuff in the Star Trek franchise, except for one of the movies, and now I want to remedy the situation. I am not interested in the movies, just the TV series. However, since the show has many seasons, I am not interested in watching the show start to finish. So, where (i.e what series/season) should I start with? Do I really need to see the series in real-world chronological order?   Note: I am somewhat familiar with Star Trek, that is I know the basic premise - ships in space, with war between different space-faring sentient species.
I don't know anything about Star Trek except for the fact that it's about spaceships.  In  the person only wanted to watch the TV series. I want to watch every movie and TV series there is about Star Trek but I don't know where to start. I found this page on  which is about a time line. Do I need to watch it in this order? Are the movies and TV series related?
Metric is continuous, on the right track? Let $X$ be a metric space with metric $d$. Show that $d:X\times X\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is continuous.   The problem is taken from Munkres Topology second edition, Section 20.  I know that if $d$ is a metric on $X$ then $d:X\times X\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$. My thinking is that the topology that is on $X$ is the topology induced by the metric $d$, and that the topology on $X\times X$ is the product topology on that space where we take the basis to be $$\mathcal{B}=\{ U \times V \mid \text{ $U,V$ both open in $X$}\}.$$ Am I on the right track to say that we define some new metric on $X\times X$ and show that this metric induces the same topology as the product topology and then work with the function $d$ as a function between metric spaces to show continuity? The question doesn't mention anything about defining some new metric and I've tried to solve the problem by looking at $X\times X$ as having the product topology, but in picking some point $(x,y) \in X\times X$ and some neighborhood around $d(x,y)$ in $\mathbb{R}$, I haven't yet found the way to make a neighborhood around $(x,y)$ which maps into the neighborhood around $d(x,y)$.

Sci-Fi short story that involved time travel and a couple who keep losing each other I read a collection of Sci-Fi short stories back in the 1970's or early 80's that had one about a couple in love who kept losing each other. The book was my dad's so the story itself could be much older than that. I am very fuzzy on the details as I was young when I read it and it was so long ago. I believe the woman/girlfriend was "taken" (by some bad guy aliens??) while she was sleeping. I think it involved time travel and the man had to search through time to find her. After he found her, when he was asleep one time, he somehow was then "taken" and I think transported through time and had to fight his way back to her again. He may have been some sort of police officer. I just remember in the end, at night when they went to bed, the couple always wore handcuffs so they were never separated when they went to sleep ever again. Does this ring a bell with anyone?  (There is a possibility it is in a short story collection that also contained " The Twonky " by Lewis Padgett (1942), as I remember reading that story around the same time) For example:   For an MVC architecture, should I prefer Ruby on Rails or PHP [closed] Gmail: What is a jQuery selector for incoming mail senders only?

Thanks In the first book, Harry sees his Gringotts vault for the first time.  (Quotes thanks to Slytherincess!)     Griphook unlocked the door. A lot of green smoke came billowing out, and as it cleared, Harry gasped. Inside were mounds of gold coins. Columns of silver. Heaps of little bronze Knuts.      "All yours," smiled Hagrid.      All Harry's -- it was incredible. The Dursleys couldn't have known about this or they'd have had it from him faster than blinking. How often had they complained how much Harry cost them to keep? And all the time there had been a small fortune belonging to him, buried deep under London.      Hagrid helped Harry pile some of it into a bag. "The gold ones are Galleons," he explained. "Seventeen silver Sickles to a Galleon and twenty-nine Knuts to a Sickle, it's easy enough. Right, that should be enough fer a couple o' terms, we'll keep the rest safe for yeh."      Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - pages 58-59 - US Hardcover Edition   Jk Rowling posts in the Harry Potter Lexicon      JKR has stated in an interview (Comic Relief 2001) that she estimates the value of one Galleon to be "about five pounds," which works out to around US$9.75 (the exchange rate at the time of the interview was US$7.33). In the introduction to both QA and FB, US$250-million is stated to be the equivelent of 34 million Galleons. That also works out to a value of £5 to the Galleon, at the exchange rate of the time. The price listed on the back of the books, however, is not correct, since US$3.99 would equal less than half a British pound, or 8 sickles and 15 knuts. The book instead incorrectly lists US$3.99 as being equal to 14 sickles and 3 knuts. (Unfortunately, CNN.com uses this incorrect value for their Knuts-to-dollars converter.)      This gives us approximate values as follows:      1 bronze Knut = £0.01 (US about 2 cents)      1 silver Sickle = £0.29 (about US$0.57)      1 Galleon = £5.00 (more or less US$9.75)      These rates vary as the exchange rate fluctuates - see the Wizarding World Currency Converter for the current rate.   Now looking at the quote      Hagrid helped Harry pile some of it into a bag.   and     Right, that should be enough fer a couple o' terms, we'll keep the rest safe for yeh.   Obviously "some" is unspecified, but presuming the costs of ...

This does not include the list of other expenses Harry has for his school years (wand, potion reagents, etc.)  How many Galleons is "some" or is Diagon Alley selling supplies for third world prices?

Show that for any prime $ p $, there are integers $ x $ and $ y $ such that $ p|(x^{2} + y^{2} + 1) $. So we obviously we want $ x^{2} + y^{2} + 1 \equiv 0 ~ (\text{mod} ~ p) $.  I haven’t learned much about quadratic congruences, so I don’t really know how to go forward. I suppose you can write it as $ x^{2} \equiv -1 - y^{2} ~ (\text{mod} ~ p) $, but again, I’m not sure where to go. I know about the Legendre symbol and quadratic residues, which I know are involved in this question, but I don’t know how to apply what I know. :( How can I use quotas in samba?

On one hand there is no need to ask for password confirmation because it is annoying. If I made a mistake when confirming my password I'll need retype my very complex password again. There is also a button that can show/hide the password so I don't need retype it in order to confirm it.   However, some users don't use the password show/hide button and the 'forgotten password' option will be pain for them.  Twitter removed the password confirmation from registration but left the dual confirmation in place for changing password. Is this right approach?
