The "too short" comment error is absent on mobile web When I'm in the full site and attempt to leave a comment containing fewer than N characters, I get an "N to go..." message.  On mobile web, the comment only fails to submit. No errors or any hints. I propose that the user be somehow alerted on mobile web when a comment is too short.
Add comment length counter on the mobile site I know that comments have to be at least 15 chars for the system to post it. I noticed that on the mobile site, there is no "x chars to go..." warning.  If I try to post a comment that is too short, it silently fails and still no mention of minimum length at all.  Can the length counter that is present in the full site theme be added to the mobile theme please?
Proof that no polynomial with integer coefficients can only produce primes Doing a discrete math review and am trying to solve problem 1.6 in the text found here:  - I believe I've gotten parts (a) and (b) correctly, but (c) is a bit tricky for me. Would appreciate a review of a/b and a hint for c if possible. Restatement here:  For n = 40, the value of polynomial $p(n)::=n^2 + n + 41$ is not prime, as noted in Section 1.1. But we could have predicted based on general principles that no nonconstant polynomial can generate only prime numbers.  In particular, let $q(n)$ be a polynomial with integer coefﬁcients, and let $c::=q(0)$ be the constant term of q.  (a) Verify that $q(cm)$ is a multiple of c for all $m \in Z$  Proof: Since q is a polynomial, it will be of the form: $q(x) = a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1} + ... + a_1x + c$  If $x = cm$, then notice that cm will be inside every term of the polynomial, and since the final term is c, c can be factored out of every term. Hence, q(cm) is a multiple of c for all $m \in Z$.  b) Show that if q is nonconstant and c > 1, then as n ranges over the nonnegative integers, $N$, there are infinitely many $q(n) \in Z$ that are not primes.  Proof: Continuing from the result found in (a), it is easy to see that for all $m \in Z$, there will be an infinite number of multiples of c that will be generated by q. Since c > 1, these multiples are guaranteed not to be prime.  c) Conclude that for every nonconstant polynomial, q, there must be an $n \in N$ such that $q(n)$ is not prime. Hint: Only one easy case remains.  c = 0 is trivially easy to prove using the (b) above.  I assume the "easy" case is referring to c = 1, but in this case I'm not sure how to continue, since the result of (a) and (b) don't apply: I can't use them since adding 1 to any even number may make it prime. If the result of the terms not including c is odd, then adding 1 to that result makes it even and it is not prime. However, if the terms add up to an even number, I don't see a way of using the knowledge I have so far to prove conclusively that that number + 1 will NOT in fact be prime. A former lecturer of mine once explained why, from a syntactic point of view, the English rule that negation and questions are formed with the auxiliary do follows from other syntactic facts about English.  More precisely, if you gave a good syntactician not familiar with English a corpus of English sentences containing everything but questions and negated phrases, then s/he could infer grammatical rules from it (such as headed-ness of phrases, what kind of arguments what word takes, etc.) From some of these rules, then, s/he could see that something specific would be wrong with the sentences "Gave you the present to Mary?" and "He went not to the cinema."  Can someone explain what exactly this something is and how it follows from other sentences?  FYI, my lecturer did this in Government &amp; Binding with X-Bar theory. This may be more suitable a question for the proposed  but as it's not online yet I'm trying it here first.   Edit: the beta is online now at . I'm working on a web application that needs to prints silently -- that is without user involvement.  What's the best way to accomplish this?  It doesn't like it can be done with strictly with Javascript, nor Flash and/or AIR.  The closest I've seen involves a Java applet.  I can understand why it would a Bad Idea for just any website to be able to do this.  This specific instance is for an internal application, and it's perfectly acceptable if the user needs to add the URL to a trusted site list, install an addon, etc. Increasing extent of Raster? Is the function strcpy always dangerous? To make it simple, I want to highlight a group of tikz nodes like in the following picture    It was borrowed from the . I would like to know which Tikz commands I can use to do the job in order to automatize this task for several trees I have to make. It is important to keep the blending effect of colors like in node g. Here is the MWE also borrowed from :  \documentclass{article}  \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{arrows,backgrounds,calc,trees}  \begin{document} \thispagestyle{empty}  \begin{tikzpicture} \node (f) {f}     child { node (g) {g}       child { node (a) {a}     }       child { node (b) {b}     }   }     child { node (h) {h}       child { node (c) {c}     }   }; \end{tikzpicture}  \end{document} Why does $1+2+3+\cdots = -\frac{1}{12}$? $\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^s}$ only converges to $\zeta(s)$ if $\text{Re}(s) &gt; 1$.  Why should analytically continuing to $\zeta(-1)$ give the right answer? I was going to make a filter for the &quot;&quot; by excluding some sites from it.  I noticed  which talks about &quot;negative filtering&quot; but does not explain how one can do it or if it is possible.  There does not seem to be a way to do this, though.  On the filter page, my only options are:  So how can I do &quot;All sites except [list]&quot;? It would also be nice if this could include similar functionality with the meta checkbox.  Something like &quot;All main &amp; meta sites except...&quot; I'm using TikZ to plotting some functions for a document. For example, I want to plot 1/(x+1). So I did something like this:  \begin{tikzpicture}[&gt;=stealth,x=3mm,y=3mm] \draw (0,5) node[above]{\fimg $y=f(x+1)=\dfrac{1}{x+1}$}; \clip (-5,-5) rectangle (5,5); \ejes[1]{-4}{4}{-4}{4} \draw[samples=100] plot(\x,{1/(\x+1)}); \end{tikzpicture}   where \ejes[style]{xmin}{xmax}{ymin}{ymax} is command, that I have defined before to draw the axes (join with \fimg). My expected output for the code below was just the function, but I get this:    So, TikZ automagically put the vertical asymptote at x=-1. That isn't a bad thing, but now I want to have some control over it. For example I want dotted lines for vertical asymptotes. How can I do that? Show that $\mathbb{Q}\times \mathbb{Q}$ is denumerable Highlight \verb in inline text Why do I need to type `./` before executing a program in the current directory? While executing a C program, a.out, using the Ubuntu terminal, why do I always need to type ./ before a.out, instead of just writing a.out? Is there solution for this? How to write a function (piecewise) with bracket outside? The  spell says time stops for other creatures.  What all is affected by the spell? Is gravity affected? Air movement?  I know that the spell only does what it says, and nothing else, but just wondering.   In addition, is it saying that the other creatures are not affected by environmental effects and the like while time is stopped?  For instance, if a wind blew really hard at one of the creatures you're fighting, would it affect that foe while time stop is active? If you were to place a bear trap behind the person, and a hard wind blew enough to tip them, would they then fall over onto the bear trap and be damaged without the spell ending?  This is a very curious spell... I wanted to use my android phone as a proxy server, meaning that I wanted to be able to use the IP on the phone as a proxy, so all request and response are received on the phone and forwarded back to the original requestor. How do I do this? For some reason, I can no longer access the Winterbash 2015 page--when I try, I get redirected to the  instead, just like Winterbash is over. Except, we should still have almost another two weeks. Also, I can no longer see hat-related features on SE sites. What happened to the hats?!  UPDATE: The hats seem to be back now. But the question still remains, why did they disappear, and is it going to happen again? I always thought water sources were called taps in kitchens, bathrooms etc, but a Google search only returned outdoor taps.  So my question is, what are indoor taps really called?
