Checking Flash player version using Javascript Is it possible to check the version of the Flash Player installed in a browser using Javascript?
Cross Browser Flash Detection in Javascript Does anyone have an example of script that can work reliably well across IE/Firefox to detect if the browser is capable of displaying embedded flash content. I say reliably because I know its not possible 100% of the time.
This week I saw the definition of a measurable set for an outer measure.     Let $\mu^*$ be an outer measure on a set $X$. We call $A \subseteq X$ measurable if $$\mu^*(E) = \mu^*(A\cap E) + \mu^*(A^c\cap E)$$ for every $E \subseteq X$.   This is not the first time I've seen this definition. Unlike most other things in mathematics, over time I have gained absolutely no intuition as to why this is the definition.   The only explanation I've ever seen is that a set is measurable if it 'breaks up' other sets in the way you'd want. I don't really see why this is the motivation though. One reason I am not comfortable with it is that you require a measurable set to break up sets which, according to this definition, are non-measurable; why would you require that? Of course, you can't say what a non-measurable set is without first defining what it means to be measurable so I suppose no matter what your condition is, it will have to apply to all subsets of $X$.     Is there an intuitive way to think about the definition of measurable sets? Is there a good reason why we should use this definition, aside from "it works"? How can I distribute a native executable for a Python program? Lately all of my work has been in Python (and Ruby), and I'm in love with those two languages. There are many libraries for game development on Python but the problem I see is that many of those frameworks don't cover the "distribution" aspect of game creation. I'd like to code my game on Python (and any other pure Python extra libraries I need) and be able to distribute an executable for the main PC platforms (Windows, Mac and Linux).  Any options out there or what are the best combinations for this? (maybe pyglet + cx_freeze) I am having some trouble with the following problem:     Let $K\subseteq L$ be fields. Suppose $\alpha,\beta\in L$ are algebraic elements over $K$ of degrees $p,q$ respectively, where $p$ and $q$ are distinct primes. Show that $\alpha+\beta$ is algebraic over $K$ with degree $pq$.   I have shown that $\alpha+\beta$ is algebraic over $K$, but I am having trouble showing that the degree is $pq$. I have previously shown that $[K(\alpha,\beta):K]=pq$, so I have been trying to use this result. I thought that if I could show that $K(\alpha,\beta)=K(\alpha+\beta)$ then I'd be done. To show this I first noted that clearly $K(\alpha+\beta)\subseteq K(\alpha,\beta)$. Then we have $$pq=[K(\alpha,\beta):K]=[K(\alpha,\beta):K(\alpha+\beta)][K(\alpha+\beta):K]$$ so that $[K(\alpha+\beta):K]=1,p,q,pq$. I tried looking at the cases when it is equal to $1,p,q$ and deriving a contradiction, but have been unsuccessful.   Another way I thought of solving this is to show that $\alpha,\beta\in K(\alpha+\beta)$, which would allow me to conclude that $K(\alpha+\beta)=K(\alpha,\beta)$, but I am not sure how to complete this either.    I am looking for some assistance to show that $[K(\alpha+\beta):K]\neq 1,p,q$, or that $\alpha,\beta\in K(\alpha,\beta)$. If you have any other solutions to this problem I would like to see those too. How to apply for a UK standard visitor visa as a family? Para 5, , by      If the Lord would show thee but this one   thing, -- that to use "thee" and "thou" to a particular person is   proper language, and Scripture language; and that to say "you," is   improper, and arose from pride, and nourisheth pride, and so is of the   world, and not of the Father; and thou should bow thy spirit to him in   this one thing, thou little thinkest what a work it would make within thee, and how strongly the spirit of darkness would fight against thy   subjection thereto. The Lord lead thee as he seeth good, and give thee   faithfully to follow; for else, if the Lord should lead in any thing,   and thou not follow in that thing, his Spirit would be grieved and   vexed thereby, and thy heart in danger of being hardened by the   deceitfulness of sin.   What is the Lord giving thee faithfully to follow?   The grey claims that the reader thinks little of the significance of stressing 'thee' and 'thou' over 'you'. So I'd guess that the Lord is giving 'thee' this caution? If I'm right, why is there no direct object in the bolded? I recognise grammatical differences in the 1600s, but still want to learn. How do I run 32-bit programs on a 64-bit Debian/Ubuntu? I have a 64-bit (amd64 a.k.a. x86_64) Debian or Ubuntu installation. I need to run 32-bit (i386/i686) programs occasionally, or to compile programs for a 32-bit system. How can I do this with a minimum of fuss?  Bonus: what if I want to run or test with an older or newer release of the distribution? Possibly offensive usernames I flagged  as having a  ():    I said "possibly offensive" because it's possible it's a genuine surname I wasn't aware of, but googleing didn't show any evidence and  pretty much matched my definition of it which seems offensive.   Is this really a genuine name? If not how is it possibly not offensive and thus a bad flag?   (I flagged in good faith so even if it is a genuine name declining seems harsh) Select Input Texture file name as parameter/node I am trying to create a material node group for triplanar mapping, but I am not sure how I can parameterize the image texture name.   I have 3 image texture nodes, which all use the same file with the same settings, the only difference is the vector input.  Is there a way I can make it so that I only have to select the texture name once, possibly as a input for a group?

How to prevent? In LWC am trying to iterate over a list and show the details from the list, this is working correctly , but as a header want to show the record number in a displayed order, below is desired outcome and simplified sample code.  Desired OutCome:   Employee Record 1: A  Employee Record 2: B  Employee Record 3: C   JavaScript:  Var empNames = ["A" , "B" , "C"];   HTML:  &lt;template for:each={empNames} for:item="employee" for:index="index"&gt; Employee Record{index} {employee} &lt;/template&gt;    Actual outcome  Employee Record 0: A  Employee Record 1: B  Employee Record 2: C   I understand as i am using {index} which indicated the position of element in an array which starts from 0 my actual outcome also starts like Employee Record 0 instead of Employee Record 1, but is there a simple way without writing much logic on JS to handle this in html and to make my headers starts from 1 instead of 0? Minor "you have already raised this type of flag" bug? I flagged something as spam, then was only 90% sure I'd done so, so I clicked the flag link again to check. It showed me this:    I had, of course, only raised the spam flag, not the offensive/abusive/hate flag, so the latter probably shouldn't be saying I did.    Ah, this may be a duplicate, I didn't search enough:        And if so, it's been around a while. What is the difference between a 'closure' and a 'lambda'? Best way to determine if two path reference to same file in C# In the upcoming Java7, there is a  to check if two file object are same file reference.  Are there similar API provided in the .NET framework?  I've search it over MSDN but nothing enlighten me.  I want it simple but I don't want to compare by filename which will cause problems with hard/symbolic links and different style of path. (e.g. \\?\C:\, C:\).   What I going to do is just prevent duplicated file being drag and dropped to my linklist. How to export variable for use with sudo? On Slackware, using sbopkg permits one to build a package from source. Repos is not big as Debian, but it's nice.  Some software can use environment variables, for example on the VICE c64 emulator, if the variable FFMPEG is set to yes, it will enable ffmpeg recording the emulator.  I tried to use  $ export FFMPEG=yes; sudo sbopkg -B -i vice   but ffmpeg is disabled.  Instead I had to use  $ su - $ export FFMPEG=yes $ sbopkg -B -i vice   which works.  How to use environment variables with sudo? What is the best way to include R code in the Latex paragraph I am a newbie in Latex. I have two simple questions regarding including R code in Latex.  Q1: For a block of R code, I use 'listings' package, as follows.  \documentclass[12pt]{report} \usepackage{listings} \begin{document} \begin{lstlisting}[language=R] &gt; dpareto(4, 2, 3) [1] 0.09375 &gt; dpareto(4, -2, 3) [1] NaN &gt; dpareto(seq(-1, 4, 1), 2, 3) [1] 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.0000000 0.2962963 0.0937500 \end{lstlisting} \end{document}   I feel it's not professional. What is the best way to present the block of R code?  Q2: For code pieces in the paragraph, for example I wish to include a R function, or variable, or package name in my Latex context, what is the best way to do that? In the Harry Potter series, are wizards capable of creating their own spells, or are they limited to the spells that they're taught/learn?  I seem to remember something about Snape creating sectumsempra, but I'm not sure if that really is the case. Android: Using default styles
