When I read a (math or statistics) textbook, sometimes I do not understand some of the equations or proofs in the book. Is it OK to take a picture of the page in the book (or ebook) that has the equations or proofs, and include it in the question as a supplemental matreial? Does this violate any copyright law?
I read a book that answers one of my questions, and I would like to quote it as an answer. Is that illegal?    Thanks.
Why does a cordless circular saw have the blade on the left? At the moment considering the purchase of a circular saw for light work. I'm looking at a corded model and a cordless model. But the question I have is not about which one is better.   My question today is why the corded one has the blade on the right of my hand and the cordless one has the blade on the left of my hand. See both models below.     Now, I know some manufacturers make left- and right-handed versions of their circular saw. And I'm also aware that 'worm drive circular saws' usually have the blade to the left of my hand. But it seems odd to me. Especially as it seems to apply to most manufacturers too.   Was wondering if somebody has an explanation for this. What are post-installation triggers?  These are executed when upgrading software. Badges with long names overflow on the profile page Prove $x^3 + 3 =4y(y+1)$ has no integer solutions Proof by contradiction:  1. Suppose  $x^3 + 3 =4y(y+1)$ has an integer solution   Then  $x^3 + 3 =4y^2+4y$ Then  $x^3 + 3 + 4 = 4y^2 + 4y + 4$ Then $x^3 + 7  = (2y + 2)^2$   Not sure how to simplify it further... If $F: \mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb R$ and $F_x$ (partial derivative of $F$ wrt $x$) and $F_y$ exist at $(x_0,y_0)$ then the function is continuous at that point. Is this true? If not what could be a counter-example? Looking for a short story about a boy discovering that the government puts mind control chemicals in his cereal I would have read this around 1985-1998 because I remember being in school at the time. It may have been in a short story collection with "The Ugly Little Boy" and a story about a family dealing with people in the future coming back to enhance the intelligence of their baby with enfante terrible results. A boy, grade school age or so and very intelligent, discovers (or possibly just decides) that there are drugs in the food that prevent one from thinking critically. The details are kind of fuzzy in my head, but I remember that he at one point distills the chemical from his cereal, which he'd detected as having a high concentration, and overdoses. He's convinced that the government is trying to silence him — a scene that sticks out in my mind was him falling on a moving sidewalk and tearing his clothing as he tries to escape two "men in black" type figures that are pursuing him. The short story ended with him deciding that he was better off just consuming the food and being happy in his ignorance.  Years later, as an adult learning about mental illness, it struck me that the story was slightly ambiguous as to whether there actually were chemicals, and that the use of drugs that dulled his creativity and intelligence, and the decision to take them anyhow, was reminiscent of the feelings that manic people have toward their medications.  Anyone know what this one was? How to pull email address and password from text file with CMD?

Prove that $T(n) = T(n/3) + T2n/3) + 5n$ is $O(n log n)$ Splitting raster into smaller chunks using GDAL? I have a raster (USGS DEM actually) and I need to split it up into smaller chunks like the image below shows. That was accomplished in ArcGIS 10.0 using the Split Raster tool. I would like a FOSS method to do this. I've looked at GDAL, thinking surely it would do it (somehow with gdal_translate), but can't find anything. Ultimately, I'd like to be able to take the raster and say how large (4KM by 4KM chunks) I would like it split up into. Does magic missile hit silent image's illusory creature? How do I run a batch file from my Java Application? In my Java application, I want to run a batch file that calls "scons -Q implicit-deps-changed build\file_load_type export\file_load_type"  It seems that I can't even get my batch file to execute. I'm out of ideas.   This is what I have in Java:  Runtime.    getRuntime().    exec("build.bat", null, new File("."));   Previously, I had a Python Sconscript file that I wanted to run but since that didn't work I decided I would call the script via a batch file but that method has not been successful as of yet. Finding sharing settings OWD How do I create Fortify Alchemy enchantments up to 29%? Correct usage of will and would Consider the following sentence     It will/would rain tomorrow.   I understand "would" usually means something that is really improbable.  So "it would happen" means it might happen but it is very unlikely; while "it will happen" means it is going to happen  But what if I want to say      It will not happen?   Because the meaning of "it will not happen" represents something that is unlikely or, worse still, not going to happen, shouldn't it be more accurate to say "it would not happen"?  However, to contravene the aforesaid suggestion - if I am confident that the thing is not going to happen, should I use "will" to indicate the definite nature of my statement?  To further complicate the issue, what if I want to say     I think you will not be able to do it.    or      I think you would not be able to do it.    Which one is more accurate/correct,  given that "I think" already conveys a sense of "less than definite" and "will/would not be able to" conveys the same sense as "unlikely"? What and where are the stack and heap? Consider $\mathbb R^{[0,1]}$ the space of all functions from $[0,1]$  to $\mathbb R$  and the cylindrical sigma algebra $\mathcal B$  on it. The question is: how to prove that $C[0,1]\notin \mathcal B$. Pending suggested edit message bug I just tried to edit a post on Stack Overflow but when I pressed the 'edit' button it showed me this message on a white page.    I know what the message means but I don't think it is supposed to show up in a white page. So, is this a bug or is it something else? I am struggling with this question from Halmos's text, please ignore the imperative language.  "Suppose that $L, M$  and $N$ are subspaces of a vector space. Show that the equation    $$L \cap (M + N) = (L \cap M) + (L \cap N)$$   is not necessarily true.  Since each of these subspaces has origin in them, clearly there intersections could not be empty. I wasn't able to formulate an example where this result did n't hold. Any help would be highly appreciated. On November 11, my American girlfriend flew over to the UK to visit me. She was detained and questioned, and refused entry under the belief she would not leave within those six months. This was due to her having no return flight booked, as we were going to wait until we were together in the UK to book a return flight for either herself, or both of us back to the USA once we decided what exact dates I would be able to travel. Lesson learned. A hard lesson, but we learned!  Anyway, they said although she'll flag up in the future, it won't be a straight ban from entering and she could even try to come back the next day if she so pleased, although it would be unwise if her circumstances had not changed.  Fast forward to December 18. She got herself a job in the States to prove she intends to leave at the end of her stay, and has since applied for a UK Standard Visitor Visa. She posted her documents off to New York earlier today.  Will they send her a letter back refusing to issue her a visa since, as an American citizen, she does not even need one? She wanted to get one to be safe as I told her not to fly to the UK even with return flights booked if she doesn't have a visa, as she risks being denied once again after a long flight. It's hard to get this information on the Internet, and some stories I read said that they were sent a letter back from the UK Embassy denying their visa simply because they don't need one in the first place - even after that person was denied entry.  We're in a bit of a pickle granted, so any help would be greatly appreciated.   Cheers.
