Is the name Millennium Falcon a reference to FALCON codes? Has Lucas ever given any reason to think the name "Millennium Falcon" is an indirect reference to US military aviation FALCON codes?  From  we see that FALCON 1000 means "Cool it, the Chaplain's here" or, , "Cool it the Padre is here".  Note that religion is a common StarWars subtext, and the Millennium Falcon is often trying to escape the "Father".  Also, I could have sworn I remember Han saying "Cool it" at some point but I can't find any proof of that.  Somewhat related to  but that seems to be asking for a in-universe answer, whereas I want a behind-the-scenes answer.
Why is it called the Millennium Falcon? I'm particularly interested in how the "Millennium" part pertains to the ship itself. It wouldn't hurt to explain the "Falcon" part either though.
I just want to know if my proof to this question is correct. First, I proved it was true for $n = 4$. $$4!&gt;2^4$$ $$24&gt;16$$ Then, I assumed that it was true for $n=k$. $$k!&gt;2^k$$ Afterwards, I tried to prove it for $n=k+1$. $$(k+1)!&gt;2^{k+1}$$ $$(k+1)k!&gt;(2)(2^k)$$ Since $k!&gt;2^k$, am I allowed to simply do $$(k+1)(2^k)&gt;(2)(2^k)$$ $$(k+1)&gt;2$$ and this is true for all $k\geq3$. Would the last two steps be illegal because I only assumed that $k!&gt;2^k$ is true? Are $10\times 10$ matrices spanned by powers of a single matrix? Cut one side of a rectangle node in TikZ I would like to draw two consecutive rectangle nodes (one is next to the other with an intersected edge). How to cut one side of a rectangle node in TikZ so that the intersected side looks like others?   Consider the example below, I don't want the "duplicated" edge between node 1 and 2.   \begin{tikzpicture}    \node [style={draw, inner sep=0pt, minimum size=0.5cm}]           (1) at (0, 0)  { $1$ };   \node [style={draw, inner sep=0pt, minimum size=0.5cm}]           (2) at (0.5, 0)  { $2$ };  \end{tikzpicture} Am I able to change my GPA once I submit a graduate school application? How to know whether Lagrange multipliers gives maximum or minimum? Set the maximum character length of a UITextField I have a table story_category in my database with corrupt entries. The next query returns the corrupt entries:  SELECT *  FROM  story_category  WHERE category_id NOT IN (     SELECT DISTINCT category.id      FROM category INNER JOIN         story_category ON category_id=category.id);   I tried to delete them executing:  DELETE FROM story_category  WHERE category_id NOT IN (     SELECT DISTINCT category.id      FROM category        INNER JOIN story_category ON category_id=category.id);   But I get the next error:      #1093 - You can't specify target table 'story_category' for update in FROM clause    How can I overcome this? I am getting the error:   touch: cannot touch `/opt/tsrm/compliance/cme/log/20121207.log`: No such file or directory   on the touch command: touch $LOGFILE  I also checked the link: , But I didn't understand the answer.   Note: I was also getting mkdir: cannot create directory; I fixed this by adding the -p option.   Could this be something with the version of Linux I am working in?

Derivation of Maxwell's equations from field tensor lagrangian I've started reading Peskin and Schroeder on my own time, and I'm a bit confused about how to obtain Maxwell's equations from the (source-free) lagrangian density $L = -\frac{1}{4}F_{\mu\nu}F^{\mu\nu}$ (where $F^{\mu\nu} = \partial^\mu A^\nu - \partial^\nu A^\mu$ is the field tensor).  Substituting in for the definition of the field tensor yields $L = -\frac{1}{2}[(\partial_\mu A_\nu)(\partial^\mu A^\nu) - (\partial_\mu A_\nu)(\partial^\nu A^\mu)]$.  I know I should be using $A^\mu$ as the dynamical variable in the Euler-Lagrange equations, which become $\frac{\partial L}{\partial A_\mu} - \partial_\mu\frac{\partial L}{\partial(\partial_\mu A_\nu)} = - \partial_\mu\frac{\partial L}{\partial(\partial_\mu A_\nu)}$, but I'm confused about how to proceed from here.  I know I should end up with $\partial_\mu F^{\mu\nu} = 0$, but I don't quite see why.  Since $\mu$ and $\nu$ are dummy indices, I should be able to change them: how do the indices in the lagrangian relate to the indices in the derivatives in the Euler-Lagrange equations? I can understand the choice of material, silicon 28, but why is it a sphere rather than (say) a cube? Article   I would have thought that a sphere would have been the hardest shape to machine accurately.

"Closed" form for $\sum \frac{1}{n^n}$ Earlier today, I was talking with my friend about some "cool" infinite series and the value they converge to like the Basel problem, Madhava-Leibniz formula for $\pi/4, \log 2$ and similar alternating series etc.  One series that popped into our discussion was $\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^n}$.  Proving the convergence of this series is trivial but finding the value to which converges has defied me so far. Mathematica says this series converges to $\approx 1.29129$.  I tried Googling about this series and found very little information about this series (which is actually surprising since the series looks cool enough to arise in some context).  We were joking that it should have something to do with $\pi,e,\phi,\gamma$ or at the least it must be a transcendental number :-).  My questions are:   What does this series converge to? Does this series arise in any context and are there interesting trivia to be known about this series?   I am actually slightly puzzled that I have not been able to find much about this series on the Internet. (At least my Google search did not yield any interesting results). In Trailhead we have the query to get the Contacts for the Account named "SFDC Computing", with an inner query.   SELECT Name, (SELECT LastName FROM Contacts) FROM Account WHERE Name = 'SFDC Computing'   It works fine for my purposes.  "Contacts" is the name of the relationship, per Trailhead. So, I went to Object Manager and examined the Account object's "Fields and Relationships". There is nothing named "Contacts"!   In general, how do I get the name of the relationship, for use in similar SOQL queries? I have to format my entire disk and reinstall Ubuntu.  I have installed a lot of software on my current system. And I will have to reinstall all those updates, drivers and applications too.  Is there any way I can make an .iso image of my installed Ubuntu along with all the software, preferences, drivers etc in it ?  Is there any way I can back up my whole OS along with all its software, drives, updates and all ? There a  who has no valid parent user. It is indicated that his chat account is associated to a Maths.SE account, which does not appear to exist. The user was still able to chat. Is it normal? If it's a bug, could someone look into it?  Edit: if you browse the Google cache for users named Skullpatrol, it turns out a single series of associated accounts. The user is now named . I don't know what went wrong, maybe an account merge or something like that, but it needs someone from staff looking into it with some superpowers. I also tried to update the parent user of the chat account to this &quot;Rob&quot; profile, but the interface goes all buggy on me (works for other users, fails only for this one): Why are these sites cloning my content, and how do I stop them? So I was searching for one of my own websites on Google: http://www.botlibre.com  and to my surprise found some clones of my website, like:  http://83waystowasteyourtime.adidas.com  and:  http:// mediaiq.astral.comm  My question are:   Why are they creating clones of my website?  Some kind of SEO scheme or what? What gain could they be getting? How do they have a URL at adidas.com and astral.comm?  I assume it's not Adidas steeling my content. How do I shutdown these sites and stop people from stealing my content? (on Tomcat)
