A word/phrase for "Wanting what you can't have, whilst having what you don't want" So for example if you're doing a certain degree, always wanting to do other things except for the one you're doing.  Is there a word or phrase for this?  Thanks
Word for person always after what he does not have and not cherishing what he has Possible Duplicate:          Is there a word for a person who is always after what he does not have and does not cherish what he has? If not, any idiom or phrase?
I have many tags marked as "interesting" and others as "ignored". (I use Java at work, I'm a Cocoa guy by night, any anything dealing with Windows/.NET/C# simply doesn't apply to me.) When tags are added to the list in the right navbar, they appear in the order in which they were added. There are several problems with this:   It can be difficult to visually locate a tag quickly, unless you have memorized its location. The tags appear as the same gray boxes like everywhere on SO, but with a small "x" afterward, and they wrap based on size. This tends to leave a ragged right margin and wasted space. Ordering based on when the tag was added is not always the most intuitive default. Various users might prefer to view them alphabetically, by popularity, recent activity, etc.   It would be nice to introduce a tabbed interface to switch between various orderings, and remember the value in the cookie, profile, etc. Coupled with this, perhaps users could specify a custom ordering that works best for them? (Currently the workaround is to copy all the tag names, remove them all, and re-add them in the desired order, but this is obviously annoying.)  Thoughts? In the following sentence:     The city is populated by many people.   "many" can be replaced by something like "a great number of" (let us leave the perceived differences between the meanings of these two modifiers out of discussion):     The city is populated by a great number of people.   I understand that this replacement does not change the object "populating the city" from the original "people" to a "number", but rather shows the ability of expressions in the form "[numeral] of" to provide information about the quantity of nouns they modify.  Is this ability due to some special qualities of nouns such as "number", "quantity", "fraction", &amp;c., or is it just one usage of the preposition "of"? I am running a critical research program on a Windows 7 PC that needs to run uninterrupted for several months. I have had to re-initialize the entire experiment several time due to unexpected restart. Windows Update is disabled, and I have removed automatic updating from all background programs that have an option for it, but I am still getting restarts at random intervals that completely destroy my experiment.   Is there some way to prevent any and all restart requests? For a prime $p \equiv 1$ or $3$  (mod $8$), show that the equation $x^{2} + 2y^{2} = p$ has a solution.   I'd like to see an elementary proof. How can text selection be disabled in Android 3.0 Honeycomb?

I think that in India research institutes will never take a faculty candidate who is over 35. Is it so all over the world?   I am asking this question from the point of view of if someone starts their PhD. at the age of 27 then its unlikely they will be faculty candidates till they are 40. What is $1^k+2^k+\cdots+ (p-1)^k$ modulo $p$? (From Ireland and Rosen). yesterday I installed Ubuntu 13.10, and since I rebooted my laptop, there is a user account called Light Display Manager as available option on my login screen.  A password is needed for login, but I don't know it, although I tried some.  Because of some answers I modified with sudo power one file as follows (added lightdm):  cat /etc/lightdm/users.conf  # # User accounts configuration # # NOTE: If you have AccountsService installed on your system, then LightDM will # use this instead and these settings will be ignored # # minimum-uid = Minimum UID required to be shown in greeter # hidden-users = Users that are not shown to the user # hidden-shells = Shells that indicate a user cannot login # [UserAccounts] minimum-uid=500 hidden-users=nobody nobody4 noaccess lightdm hidden-shells=/bin/false /usr/sbin/nologin   → But it didn't changed anything!  What is this? Why is this there? How can I remove (if it's unnecessary)? Thanks in advance for an answer! Should the user be forced to sign in for a wish list on an ecommerce site? I believe that signing into a site can be a big barrier to users so prefere e-commerce sites that offer guest access.  The question is should wishlists be a guest feature or do the business advantages enforcing the user to sign up outweigh the potential increases in profits.   Does anyone have any research or views on this? How do I change the email address used for Google Play? My email address I use for the Play Store will be invalid soon, so I need to change it. However I don't want to make a new account because I want to keep all my apps. How can I do that? How does remittance work? How does it differ from direct money transfer? I have a bank account in Germany in which I receive my salary in Euros. I want to deposit a part of it in my Indian bank account for personal savings. My Indian bank account is in INR. As I see it, I have two options:   To use a remittance service that converts my Euros into INR and deposits in my account. I am not sure how it works. The service (which I know is reliable) I signed up for asks me to deposit Euros in a certain account ("funding") which will be converted to INR and deposited in my account. How does that work exactly? Use my bank's service to make a international bank transfer to my account. Is that even possible, given that my Indian account is in INR? Will I incur higher conversion fees and lower exchange rate?   In general, what are the pros and cons of each of the above methods? And are there any other methods? Why do we use "have" with does and not "has"? Allow Documentation in other Stack Exchange communities I'm a Salesforce developer and would love Documentation to be available in other Stack Exchange communities. The reason is  a lot of Salesforce developers get help, especially newer ones like myself. The developer forums and documentation on  is mediocre. It would be nice to allow users to create their own and give pack on Was Luke Skywalker the leader of the Rebel forces on Hoth? Rewatching Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, I noticed the opening crawl declares Luke Skywalker as the leader of the Rebel forces on Hoth:     Evading the dreaded Imperial Starfleet, a group of freedom fighters   led by Luke Skywalker has established a new secret base on the remote   ice world of Hoth.   Is that correct? I though Princess Leia or General Rieekan commanded the Rebel base on Hoth.  I can't find any references to this discrepancy on the Internet. Maybe in an earlier version of the script, Luke Skywalker was the commander and the crawl wasn't updated. Or perhaps "led" is meant in the sense Luke was a moral leader of the Rebel fighters? Can I use grep matches to execute command? I need to upgrade php from 5.3 to 5.4. I've installed it with rpm. I want clean install: delete all 5.3 packages, and install all necessary 5.4. Here is the command to see all installed packages:  rpm -qa |grep php   It prints out a list of packages, and I want to remove all them with:  rpm -e *pakage.name*   Can I iterate over all matches in grep results and use each match in:   rpm -e *grep.match* PHP validation/regex for URL I've been looking for a simple regex for URLs, does anybody have one handy that works well?  I didn't find one with the zend framework validation classes and have seen several implementations.
