Is Google indexing pages that has no connection with other pages? I am working on a web project that has nearly 100 thousand instant users and there is a webpage that we are using for test cases. There are no links pointing to it from other pages. It shouldn't be indexed by Google or any other search engines.  "" can be used in this situation, I know but I wonder if Google (or any others) indexes this page, if I don't do anything to prevent it.
How did Google find my unlinked newly created pages? I am building a new site, but creating the content using a subdirectory on an existing site. I have never posted a link to this subdirectory anywhere, yet searching Google reveals that Google has found these pages on my site and indexed them.  Further, I updated the site with a robots.txt file that WMT reports as being read, and testing the blocked pages using the WMT test tool indicates that the pages will not be indexed. Apparently this does not remove the pages from existing results, though I submitted a request to do so.  How did Google find these pages to begin with? Is it because I used a common subdirectory name and Google guesses at common subdirectories?
How to delete files from a folder using a list of file names in windows? i have a folder with 2K+ files in it, i need to delete around 200, i have a txt file with all the file names i need removed ordered in a list, how do i remove the specific files from the folder using the list?

Proof of lack of pure prime producing polynomials. I recently encountered this following proposition:  For every polynomial, there is some positive integer for which it is composite.  What is the most elementary proof of this? I recently tried to change a bulb using an adaptor (converting from a E27 to B22 fitting). After switching on the light fitting the fuse had blown. After inspection it turns out the adapter is faulty and must have caused a short-circuit.  After removing the bulb and resetting the switch in the main fuse box, I am now unable to operate the switch on the wall to turn the fitting off (the switch physically won't click).   Is there something I can do to fix the problem?  Thanks, I several days ago somewhere read that category and tag pages should be noindexed. But later on somewhere else, I read that, they only increase rank for search term, but overall traffic decreases- said one from his experience.  So, if I just concern about traffic, not about individual search term that much, should I make those category and tag pages as indexed to google? I am confused which is the best to do.  Thanks in advance.  Regards Rana Windows 8 Pro clean install - everything slow; hard drive at constantly at 100% Yesterday, I have downloaded and installed Windows 8 Professional, after downloading it (legally) and burning it to a DVD, on my 3-year-old  (Intel Core Duo 2x2.4&nbsp;GHz, 4&nbsp;GB RAM,  hard disk drive).   The installation failed two or three times, each time differently (error codes, for example 0xc000021a, with an infinite boot loop), but finally I completely formatted the hard drive and installed. Seemingly, everything was OK.  However, after booting successfully, the OS is extremely slow. When I open the task manager, it shows that the HDD is at 100% - however, no application or background process or Windows process can be made responsible. I searched the Internet and found that Windows might try to "index" the hard drive, but I did't find a process that isn't also on my second computer, which still uses the Release Preview (restarting every two hours). Also, the startup is empty, and HD Tune and HDD Health show that the drive health is OK, even though I don't know how reliable these two programs are.  I looked for diagnose software from Toshiba, but they only offer tools for "Fujitsu branded Toshiba devices"; I tried it out, and it did not work on my hard drive.  Does this sound like a hard drive failure? The laptop is 3.5-years-old, has been carried around sometimes roughly and was used (and on) most of the time. However, it would have failed exactly the night before installing Windows&nbsp;8 Profesional, which seems - unlikely.  If this is a software error - then what did I do wrong if this occurs from the moment of installation (even the personalization at the end of installation took half an hour)? How can I fix this? All html canvas shapes are given the color of the last object added How can I add a new value to a picklist using APEX? I have queries pulling all of the information correctly but what I can't seem to find was a way to add new options to a picklist using APEX.  I currently have   Package__c.Products__c.add(new Schema.PicklistEntry(products[j].Name));   Package__c is my custom object, and Products__c is the picklist. products[j] is pulling a list of products pulled from our products page.  And I've tried adding it as a select option, or even casting the variable type.  And this information has to go to the actual picklist within a custom object, and not within a visual force page or anything like that. Why isn't temperature frame dependent? In (non-relativistic) classical physics, if the temperature of an object is proportional to the average kinetic energy ${1 \over 2} m\overline {v^{2}}$of its particles (or molecules), then shouldn't that temperature depend on the frame of reference - since $\overline {v^{2}}$ will be different in different frames?  (I.e. In the lab frame  $K_l = {1 \over 2} m\overline {v^{2}} $, but in a frame moving with velocity $u$ relative to the lab frame, $K_u =  {1 \over 2} m \overline {(v+u)^{2}}$). Execute script after specific delay using JavaScript Is there any JavaScript method similar to the jQuery delay() or wait() (to delay the execution of a script for a specific amount of time)? possible to access custom labels dynamically? Should I always disconnect event handlers in the Dispose method? I'm on SO pretty much every day researching something to do with programming, and over the last month or two, I find I'm growing frustrated and a little disgusted at how many interesting questions have been closed as "not a good fit" or "too subjective".  I think there is a confusion between "subjective" and "calls for judgement". To me one of the most valuable things about SO is the tremendous breadth and depth of experience of the members, and experience translates into smart decisions and advice, and that advice cannot always be asked for, or expressed in terms of, bald facts and data.  It's going to be 'subjective'.  I don't think SO should be Wikipedia. I think that if I could ask a question to a group of skilled programmers sitting around a table at lunch, and get interesting, valuable answers, then I don't care whether the question or the answers are 'subjective', I think that question should equally well be fair game for Stack Overflow.  I would like to see a mechanism whereby people who vote to close a question lose reputation when somebody expresses interest in that question or its responses.  How can I, or can I, influence this aspect of SO? I am looking for an example of a sequence which shows that, $a_{n+1} - a_n \to 0$ as $n \to \infty$ does not imply that sequence $a_n$ converges. I have a feeling that the sequence should be an oscillatory one but I am unable to think of an example. Im trying to get my head around complex integration/complex line integrals. Real integration can be thought of as the area under a curve or the opposite of differentiation. Thinking of it geometrically as the area under a curve or the volume under a surface in 3 dimension is very intuitive.   So is there a geometric way of thinking about complex integration? Or should I just be viewing it as process that reverses differentiation? Or has integration other meanings in complex analysis? Here is an example, could someone explain this to me - Here's the definition of the integral along a curve gamma in C, parameterized by $w:[a, b] -&gt;C$ \begin{equation} \int_\gamma f(z)dz = \int_a^b f(w(t)).w{(t)}'dt \end{equation}   So I have -  $\gamma$ is the unit circle with anti-clockwise orientation parameterized by  $w:[0, 2\pi]\to C$  $w(t) = e ^{it} = Cos(t) + iSin(t)$  So if use the definition of the integral,   $\int_\gamma f(z)dz = \int^b_a f(w(t)).w{(t)}&#39;dt$,  and work this out it comes to  $\int^{2\pi}_0 i dt = 2{\pi}i$  So what does this $2{\pi}i$ represent? Does it mean anything geometrically, like if a regular integral works out to be 10 that means the area under the curve between 2 points is 10...
