I was reading a book called “BOMB” and the number 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 and I wanted to know what this number is in word form (how you say the word).
One of the answers in a reading exercise in my class today was:   100,000,000,000,000,000,000   ... which was the value of the highest denomination note ever issued. It was a 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 Pengo note, issued by Hungary in 1946. The students in my class wanted to know how they could say that last sentence in words in English. So I told them that I didn't know. They pointed out to me that if they wanted to read this bit of writing to someone they'd want to be able to use the words. Fair point.  Can anyone help?  [In case you're interested, a 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 Pengo note was worth about $0.20!]
What's your recommendation on drive partitioning schemes for a desktop and home server? What partitioning scheme do you recommend for a desktop? I've always created three or four primary partitions -- root, swap, home, and sometimes a separate boot partition. Ubuntu's default install offers LVMs. I've never had to add additional drives or space, so it never seemed like a big deal. Whenever I do a fresh install, though, I always think there might be a better way. Choice function for collection of arbitrary finite sets. AC required? Crash adding comment What is the rule of thumb for mixing doughs? Without delving too deeply into specialty doughs, but addressing more than just  and , what concerns can I evaluate when calculating the technique for approaching a dough?  For instance, some recipes say not to mix too much, others would imply that beating every bit of air out of the dough is the best thing for it. What I am looking for is a set of criteria, maybe a flowchart, that outlines how to deal with having a well-reasoned technique (as opposed to just following a recipe).  Crumble, cream, or melt the fat first? Paddle or hook? Beat, fold or whisk? Knead once and rest or knead three times and throw? I would assume that to some extent getting air in or out, activating and mixing ingredients, distributing fats more or less evenly, and so forth play a factor in any decision. However, I have no idea what those different things do, or the food science behind them. What general principles would help me understand what each factor does, so that I can have more confidence when staring down the ingredients, whether for some cookies or pizza crusts or muffins? Is there a Raster Equivalent of the Split tool? Prove or disprove: If H is a normal subgroup of G such that H and G/H are abelian, then G is abelian. it seems like it... should be? In that I can't think of any counterexamples off the top of my head. I was looking up these  and saw the quaternion group, but the subgroups of the quaternion group aren't abelian... I read this story in the early 2000s, but it was a Chinese translation so the English version could be older.  The beginning is a bit like the Passengers movie: on a spaceship, a man woke up from stasis too early and found that he could not go back to sleep. So he has to spend his whole life on the spaceship, alone.  For some reason (technical or ethical), instead of waking other people up, he created a fantasy adventure story featuring a brave prince as a pastime. He did stories, and drawings all over the inside of the ship. Then he died, not knowing how people are going to respond to his work. What is the limit of cabin baggage on Wizz Air flights? What's the weight limit on Wizz Air, for cabin baggage?    I can't find anything about the weight on their website. I know that for Ryanair is 10kg, and EasyJet say they don't have a limit for weight. I am trying to add jQuery to my page (it is not being added by default). The file is adding to the page but after drupal.js causing the error:  SCRIPT5009: 'jQuery' is undefined  drupal.js, line 5 character 1    The code that adds drupal.js to the page in common.inc  ... 'misc/drupal.js' =&gt; array(           'data' =&gt; 'misc/drupal.js',           'type' =&gt; 'file',           'scope' =&gt; 'header',           'group' =&gt; JS_LIBRARY,           'every_page' =&gt; TRUE,           'weight' =&gt; -1,           'preprocess' =&gt; TRUE,           'cache' =&gt; TRUE,           'defer' =&gt; FALSE,         ), ...   In my module hook_init I have:    drupal_add_js('misc/jquery.js', array(     'group' =&gt; JS_LIBRARY,     'weight' =&gt; -20,     'cache' =&gt; TRUE,   ));   I would think with a lower weight it would load before drupal.js?  The header of the page contains the following scripts:  &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://mysite.com/misc/drupal.js?mqdxrf"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://mysite.com/misc/jquery.js?mqdxrf"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://mysite.com/misc/jquery.once.js?mqdxrf"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://mysite.com/sites/default/files/languages/nl_c9aC92_wtuULa79-hTFcGPM53oqk1yKwciOa_Q3yO28.js?mqdxrf"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://mysite.com/sites/all/modules/lang_dropdown/msdropdown/jquery.dd.js?mqdxrf"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://mysite.com/sites/all/modules/lang_dropdown/lang_dropdown.js?mqdxrf"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://mysite.com/sites/all/modules/devel/devel_krumo_path.js?mqdxrf"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; I am a Indian citizen in the United States on a F-1 visa.  For the summer break, I am traveling (round-trip) from Chicago to New Delhi via Dusseldorf-Frankfurt by Lufthansa airlines. My onward Journey would be on July - 8 and return Journey on Aug - 11.  My layover will be of 1 hour 10 mins in Frankfurt and 3 hours in Dusseldorf.  I would like to know if I require Category A or Category B Visa. If not, what type of visa do I require for the Schengen visa for my transit. How I can apply for the same?  I tried to find slots in German consulate but all slots are full before my departure date. If I don't get the Schengen visa, I cannot travel and will loose all the fare (since my ticket is a non-refundable ticket). Is there any other way I can tackle this situation. How to prove and interpret $\operatorname{rank}(AB) \leq \operatorname{min}(\operatorname{rank}(A), \operatorname{rank}(B))$? introduces  which will allow the introduction of new literal syntax based on existing literals (int, hex, string, float) so that any type will be able to have a literal presentation.  Examples:  // imaginary numbers std::complex&lt;long double&gt; operator "" _i(long double d) // cooked form {      return std::complex&lt;long double&gt;(0, d);  } auto val = 3.14_i; // val = complex&lt;long double&gt;(0, 3.14)  // binary values int operator "" _B(const char*); // raw form int answer = 101010_B; // answer = 42  // std::string std::string operator "" _s(const char* str, size_t /*length*/)  {      return std::string(str);  }  auto hi = "hello"_s + " world"; // + works, "hello"_s is a string not a pointer  // units assert(1_kg == 2.2_lb); // give or take 0.00462262 pounds   At first glance this looks very cool but I'm wondering how applicable it really is, when I tried to think of having the suffixes _AD and _BC create dates I found that it's problematic due to operator order. 1974/01/06_AD would first evaluate 1974/01 (as plain ints) and only later the 06_AD (to say nothing of August and September having to be written without the 0 for octal reasons). This can be worked around by having the syntax be 1974-1/6_AD so that the operator evaluation order works but it's clunky.   So what my question boils down to is this, do you feel this feature will justify itself? What other literals would you like to define that will make your C++ code more readable?    Updated syntax to fit the final draft on June 2011 Is it possible to store user's crontab in user's git repository on OpenBSD? On OpenBSD and with OpenBSD's  and , is it possible to store the  of a user in a  repository of the same user?  What would be the proper way to accomplish something like this?  (To steer the answer into the correct direction, I would not be opposed to changing some permissions in the system, although I'd rather not have to recompile the binaries, nor violate any good security paradigms.) Does it just vanish into space leaving nothing behind or does it expel some material?    Also, talking more about black holes, as far as I understand the term "temperature", it is defined by the amount of kinetic energy of the particles of a body and from what I have read, there are no particles inside a black hole, I know that you can find the temperature of a black hole by analyzing its Hawking radiation but I cant really understand how the term "temperature" can be applied to a black hole. Does it mean that whatever is that it is inside a black hole has kinetic energy? Have physicist already experienced the death of any regular black hole (by regular I mean space-sized black holes not micro ones created in labs)? Also, where is the Hawking radiation form? Because if it is released by the black hole I bet it must have formed outside the event horizon, but how exactly? Atmospheric pressure experiment using a cup with a fluid to hold a glass plate When I was in high school, my teacher did an experiment to show the power of atmospheric pressure.  Experiment: Prepare a glass bottle, fill with water, put a glass plate on the bottle, make sure there is no air in the bottle, just water. Hold the glass bottle and plate, and invert them. Slowly, release the hand which hold the plate. Because the atmospheric pressure, the glass plate will not fall down.    Question 1: As we know, if we didn't put water into the glass bottle, just air in the glass bottle the glass plate will fall down. So, If we use other liquid instead of water, this liquid has smaller density than water, like alcohol, the plate will not fall down. But, if we continue to chose the smaller density liquid until the liquid has density like air the plate will fall down. So, if there is a threshold density of liquid make the plate between falling  down and not falling down?  Question 2: If we put the bottle and plate into water slowly, when the plate and part of bottle are in the water but part of the bottle still above the water, will the plate fall down?  Question 3: Continuing question 2, when both bottle and plate are in the water I know the plate will fall down. So, how does the pressure of water and atmosphere change?  Is there a good description of this phenomena?  Why does the trick continue to work with lower density fluids and why does placing the plate in the water cause it to fall? What is the probability of a biased coin coming up heads given that a liar is claiming that the coin came up heads? A biased coin is tossed.   Probability of Head - $\frac{1}{8}$  Probability of Tail - $\frac{7}{8}$  A liar watches the coin toss. Probability of his lying is $\frac{3}{4}$ and telling the truth is $\frac{1}{4}$. He says that that the outcome is Head. What is the probability that the coin has truly turned Head?  My Attempt:  I used the formula: $$P(A \mid B) = \frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}$$  $\ \ \ \ \ \ $P(it is head GIVEN liar said it's head) = P(it's head AND liar said it's head) / P(liar said it's head)  or, P(it is head GIVEN liar said it's head) = $\frac{ \frac{1}{8} \frac{1}{4} }{ \frac{7}{8}\frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{8}\frac{1}{4} }$ [using a probability tree will be helpful here]  or, P(it is head GIVEN liar said it's head) = $\frac{1}{22}$  The Question: Is the method I used wrong in any way? Some others I have talked to are saying the answer will be $\frac{1}{4}$. Their reasoning is this: since the liar lies 3 times out of 4 and he said it is head, then the probability of it being head is 1/4. So who is right? What will be the answer? Should we pass a shared_ptr by reference or by value? I have, not one but two microSD cards that my phone (Samsung Galaxy Young, Gingerbread OS) seem to have broken. One is 1GB and the other is 2GB. The 1GB one won't be formatted.  When I put the 1GB one into the computer the computer prompts for a formatting. I don't care for the content so I tried to format it, but to no avail; the format fails and I have no idea what to do to make it work again.  I tried using the SDformatter software, but it can't format the card as it is write protected. I'm googling to solve it but so far no success.  My computer OS is win7 if that's of any relevance. How to automatically fetch missing dependencies when installing software from .deb? Does anyone know the (specific) reasons that it is recommended that old LTS server users wait until the point release to upgrade?  Is it just a matter of bug fixes and waiting for improved stability for production servers, or is there something more fundamental than that?
