"Closed as Duplicate" text is misleading when the duplicate is from the same user was recently closed on Stack Overflow as a duplicate of another question.  That original question did not have any answers.  However, the close reason clearly states:     This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please .   First off, there are no answers, so the non-existant answer couldn't address the question.    Secondly, this makes it sound like if your question is closed as a duplicate, you should ask a new question.  That's not at all what we want, right?  I don't remember the text being like that before, but I could be wrong.
"Please ask a new question" encourages question repetition for duplicates I just had a case of a user who re-posted his question because his first question was closed as a duplicate. And, logically, I closed his re-post as a duplicate of his original, asking him to edit his original and explain why it's not a duplicate, so we can reopen it.  This process has worked like that for years now, but suddenly I realized that with the new message, question repetition is even encouraged:     This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.   Clearly, a new user who finds their questions closed will now be happy to just post their question again and again, until it's not a duplicate anymore, instead of just fixing their original post.  We need to be more explicit about this, and show this message to the OP of the question:     If those answers do not fully address your question, please edit your question and explain why it is not a duplicate.   The original message should still be visible to other users and visitors, as they can't fix that question, of course.
A simple stupid question that I should already know the answer to:  Is this true: $\left|z^5\right| = \left|z\right|^5$ where z is a complex number with a non-zero imaginary component.  Thanks in advance. What is better performance wise with i7 2600k: 1x4GB or 2x2GB RAM? Is it better to use 2x 2GB or 1x 4GB RAM with a i7 2600k Sandy Bridge performance-wise for:   Applications? Games? Both? Particle effect showing only on one side of mirrored object I'm trying to create a fur particle effect on sonic the hedgehog, and I'm using weight paints to keep it in the areas I want.   Problem: I can only get the hair effect to show up on certain random areas on model, and only on one side.  I'm using a mirror effect to keep model symmetrical, but hair only shows on one side of the mirror.  I'm new used Blender, so I don't know what all the settings for the particle effects do.  Whats going on and how do I fix it? We completed development on our dev environment and I copied the files over from the dev server to the production server through FTP.   Then through back up and migrade module, I made a back up of the SQL database. I created a new database through Plesk with the same name, username and password. I then imported the SQL database into the new server through phpmyadmin. I go to the URL and get the Site Maintenance message (which is correct, I placed the site in maintenance mode before copying the files over) but cannot navigate to any sub pages. Generally I can add /user or /admin to the end of the url and get the login screen. However all I get are 404 errors. Software Tester Skill Matrix with Levels I would like to know if there's a standard Skill set for Skill Matrix for a Software Tester of different levels, like for example, what are the skills needed for an Entry level tester as well as what technologies and responsibilities he needs. And for the Mid Level tester and Senior Level as well.  Note that I am working in a company who designs and develops websites. Underscores in words (text) How can I produce the text Word_one_two in LaTeX?  I tried:  Samp\_Dist\_Corr   But, it doesn't quite look right. Also, I want it in the typewriter font, so actually, I'm doing:  \texttt{Samp\_Dist\_Corr}   I find it looks a bit like the underscore is merging in to the bottom of the "D", but maybe it's just because of the typewriter D? UAE visit visa with expired passport number I need a visa to travel to UAE. My passport will expire soon (June), so today I applied for a new passport and it will be delivered to me on March 17. I need to travel to Dubai on March 18. clearly not enough time to get a visa for the new passport.  Can I send a scan of my old passport to the agency who's getting the visa for me, get a visa with the old passport number on it and then travel with both passports to Dubai? My new passport to satisfy their 6 months validity requirement and the old passport to match the passport number? How can I manually create a pixel perfect image sprite? I am currently working on a project to create a (not prepaid) postage label.  In java, I would go about doing this by creating a bufferedimage and adding various other images to it to create what I want.  What I want is to put text, converted to an image, onto a template letter, to make a proper postage label.    For example, imagine I was given a document with blank spaces such as:  "Name: _________"  This document is in the form of an image, and I want to use apex and visualforce (the page is already constructed, I am just stuck at the image manipulation part) to add whatever name the user types in onto the image and pack it and email the new image.  The question I have here is: where do I even start?  Java is a little nicer when it comes to image manipulation, as far as I can see.  I've looked into using a web service and sending a soapxml request to return a proper encoded image, but I haven't found a web service that can do this.  Any pointers would be nice. Thanks. So I have these two wheels parented to the leg of a robot. I wanna make them spin a few times but they're spinning around the wrong axis. With other objects I could just press R, Y, Y to make them spin right when they're already at an angle, but for some reason it doesn't work with these. Would be amazing if someone helped me fixing this! If I have bought 3 tickets for the same flight, can I bring three times the cabin allowance allowed per ticket?  The way I see it I am doing the airline a favor  Related: With regards to  post about  and the part about retaining reputation earned from deleted posts that have a score of 3 or better and were visible on the site for 60 days, does this also apply to self-deleted posts and will it continue to do so? I culled a few of my own answers over the weekend that were less than stellar, and my reputation dropped 1.8k, but the rep is back today after the changes were announced. I thought it would be useful to clarify that this also applies to self-deleted stuff. Cardinality of a totally ordered union Let $(X_{\alpha})_{\alpha \in A}, (Y_{\alpha})_{\alpha \in A}$ be families of sets such that for $\{X_{\alpha} \mid \alpha \in A \}$ and $\{Y_{\alpha} \mid \alpha \in A \}$ are totally ordered by inclusion. We have $(X_{\alpha},Y_{\alpha}) \neq (X_{\beta},Y_{\beta})$ for $\alpha \neq \beta$. Suppose that $|X_{\alpha}| \leq |Y_{\alpha}|$ for any $\alpha \in A$. It is true that $|\bigcup_{\alpha} X_{\alpha}| \leq |\bigcup_{\alpha} Y_{\alpha}|$? What does the "bugs" section of /proc/cpuinfo actually show? On a Debian Stretch and testing/Buster system with a current kernel and installed microcode I still see meltdown and spectre listed as bugs in /proc/cpuinfo.  However, running the spectre-meltdown-checker shows not vulnerable.   So I'm wondering what /proc/cpuinfo does show. Are these just the vulnerabilities for this cpu and will those always be listed despite having a patched system? Customize equation numbering for Equation environment? I want to manually label equation number ? For example I want to label this equation 3.1 instead of (1) which automatically pops up. Is it also possible in split environment as well or not ?      \begin{equation}     \log \mu_{ijk}= \lambda + \lambda_i ^I + \lambda_j ^J+\lambda_k ^K+\lambda_{ij} ^{IJ}+\lambda_{ik} ^{IK}+\lambda_{jk} ^{JK}+\lambda_{ijk} ^{IJK} \label{eq:3.1}     \end{equation} Network simplex method, leaving and entering variables How do I get a tourist visa/card for Cuba? How do I get a tourist visa (or a tourist card) for Cuba?  I live in the Netherlands, but I'm not a Dutch citizen, I have an Italian passport. Drawing Day and Night on a Google Map I'm looking to plot day/night on a Google map, for an arbitrary point in time. I'm familiar with generating map tiles; I'm just looking for an algorithm to tell me whether a particular point on the globe is currently in daylight or darkness, or to otherwise plot the curve of the day/night interface onto the map.  I've done some searching, but it's possible I don't even know enough about the problem domain here to know what terms to search for!  Any ideas? Doesn't have to be perfect -- basically, I'm comparing Flickr geolocation data of sunrise and sunset photos (and their "date taken" timestamps) with reality, and this is to help me visualise it.
