"Your idea's sounding great" or "Your idea sounds great"
So, Can linking verbs be used with "continuous tenses"?
Are {/bin, /lib, /sbin} symlinks into /usr in Ubuntu? I do not have access to an Ubuntu system or chroot. I was hoping if someone could tell me if the  is accurate in saying:     For Quantal, merged /usr should be supported. On new systems installer should create {/bin, /lib, /sbin} symlinks into /usr. On an upcoming trip, I will be taking a desktop computer and monitor as checked luggage (on a United/Continental flight). What should I be aware of when doing this? What needs to be done to properly protect all the components? Are there any airline policies I should be aware of? Why are cryptography algorithms not exported to certain countries? There have been strict laws about the export of crypto software to certain countries. I can understand the intent, but never gauged the fact that there is nothing stopping these countries from developing their own crypto software. So why limit the export?   And in light of the recent NSA revelations, of backdoors being engineered into crypto algos, wouldn't the export of such compromised algorithms have helped to unravel secrets? In bash, how do I escape an exclamation mark? I want to do something like bzr commit -m "It works!". I can sort of escape the exclamation mark by doing bzr commit -m "It works\!". However, then my commit message includes the backslash. How do I escape the exclamation mark, while still ignoring the backslash? At 9th level, the Armorer Artificer (from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything) gains the &quot;Armor Modifications&quot; feature :  You learn how to use your artificer infusions to specially modify your Arcane Armor. That armor now counts as separate items for the purposes of your Infuse Items feature: armor (the chest piece), boots, helmet, and the armor’s special weapon. Each of those items can bear one of your infusions, and the infusions transfer over if you change your armor’s model with the Armor Model feature. In addition, the maximum number of items you can infuse at once increases by 2, but those extra items must be part of your Arcane Armor.  This special weapon is called 'Thunder Gauntlets' (a simple melee weapon) for the 'Guardian' Armor Model, and 'Lightning Launcher' (a simple ranged weapon) for the 'Infiltrator' Model. But I am wondering which Artificer Infusions are appropriate for this special weapon ? Is it only the 'Enhanced Weapon' and 'Radiant Weapon' infusions, or are there others ? How do I test a private function or a class that has private methods, fields or inner classes? How do I unit test (using xUnit) a class that has internal private methods, fields or nested classes? Or a function that is made private by having  (static in C/C++) or is in a private () namespace?  It seems bad to change the access modifier for a method or function just to be able to run a test. Extra slash added to the chat room URLs in the side bar There is a extra slash added to the chat room URLs in the side bar. This is not causing any redirection issue or 404 not found error. Just observed it and want to notify to the development team about this. Seems it is not a bug, but that can . Currently the following URLs are binded against the chat rooms in the side bar.  Tavern on the Meta https://chat.meta.stackexchange.com//rooms/89  The Fire Department https://chat.meta.stackexchange.com//rooms/1181   GIF for the reference: Socket Tester all indicators light up Prove that for any natural number $n>1$, we have $(2n)!<(n(n+1))^n$ Prove that for any natural number $n&gt;1$, we have $(2n)!&lt;(n(n+1))^n$    I tried using induction, but I failed in that approach, I rather found it was untrue, but on several case testing, I found it to be true. I am out of ideas here, please help. Thank you. says:  SSH_ASKPASS    If  ssh needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the    current terminal if it was run from a terminal.  If ssh does not    have  a  terminal associated with it but DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS    are set, it will execute the program  specified  by  SSH_ASKPASS    and open an X11 window to read the passphrase.   I'd like SSH to use an askpass program even if it was run from a terminal.  On occasion, I have to connect to servers, where there's some delay in showing a password prompt (maybe due to network issues, maybe due to attempted reverse DNS lookups, …). I get annoyed and switch to something else, and forget about the attempted connection. (Insert joke about attention span of a goldfish.) When I finally get back to it, the prompt's timed out and even a correct password would just result in a closed connection.  Keys would be one solution, but not every system I use has my usual SSH keys. However, I usually use Ubuntu systems, and Ubuntu has an SSH askpass program installed by default.  If an askpass window popped up, however, I'd be immediately aware of it. That's a good enough compromise for me, if only I can get it to work. Why is sum of squared residuals non-increasing when adding explanatory variable? In my econometric textbook(Introductory Econometrics) covering OLS, the author write, "SSR must fall when another explanatory variable is added."  Why is it? Given a hotkey, how can I find which program owns it? I have a 64-bit machine that has Windows 7 32-bit and Ubuntu 32-bit installed as a dual boot setup. Can I run 64-bit software on top of these 32-bit OSes, or are they a "bottleneck" limiting the true capability of the underlying hardware? Should I capitalise "or" between examples? On this site, there are often many different options as an answer, for example both with and without the Oxford comma.  When giving multiple options, should I capitalize the word "or" between them?  Option 1:     Eggs, butter and milk are dairy products   Or   Eggs, butter, and milk are dairy products     Option 2:     Eggs, butter and milk are dairy products   or   Eggs, butter, and milk are dairy products     Notice in Option 1 the "or" is capitalised. In Option 2 the "or" isn't. Understanding the proof for $\gcd (F_n, F_{n+k}) = 1$ where $F_n$ is a Fermat number I'm trying to understand the following proof of why      No two Fermat numbers have a common divisor greater than $1$.   Hardy and Wright show the following proofs:   If $x = 2^{2^n}$, we have  $$\frac{F_{n+k} - 2}{F_n}(\circ) = \frac{2^{2^{n+k}}-1}{2^{2^n}+1} = \frac{x^{2^k}-1}{x+1} = x^{2^k-1} - x^{2^k-2} + \ldots -1$$  The main issue I'm having is the $\circ$ part. I don't understand how they get that. The rest of the proof makes sense but the first part is really confusing me. Can someone please explain where they get that fraction?  Thanks a bunch! Submitting form elements with the same name I would like to print a document with text on lined paper like a notebook like   However, I would like to be able to edit the line colours.  I would like to put the header/title in the blank white space. Is there a way to do the document above without using the background jpg?  The document is also multiple pages.   I have looked at this question too and would like to have lines only and not a grid.   Thanks! What are the differences between combat damage, direct damage, and loss of life? Refer to Sheet with value in Cell? The usual way to reference a sheet is  but how do you reference a sheet when the sheet's name is a value in a cell?  For example,   A1 = "Sheet number two" B1 = A1&amp;"!B4"   Here I want B1 to display the value in 'Sheet number two'!B4 but it's not working for me.  Any ideas? In Magic: The Gathering, the rules for a player losing in a multiplayer game are quite complex, so I'd like to try to understand them by example. I would be happy to ask each of these situations as a separate question if that is preferred, but they all seem related, and I would love to have one place to look up all of these answers.  Let's say I'm playing with two friends, Bob and Chloe, in a simple free for all. Unfortunately, I lose. When I lose, suppose the following:   I controlled an  which has exiled Bob's , does he get his bear back? I have a  on the stack targeting Chloe, does Chloe take the 2 damage still? Earlier in the turn I cast  to prevent damage to one of Bob's . If it later takes 3 damage, will that damage be prevented? Something I controlled gave Bob a 1/1 soldier token. What happens to the token? Something Chloe controlled gave me a 1/1 soldier token. What happens to the token? I had a  enchanting one of Bob's army of . What happens to the bear? I had also played  on Bob's final . What happens to the last bear? Chloe had  my . What happens to the Clone? Are there any other situations specifically addressed by the rules?
