Is there any point in closing resources if the JVM is shutting down
Closing Streams in Java
In PHP, is there an easy way to convert a number to a word? For instance, 27 to twenty-seven. Is it possible to migrate programs from 32 bit Windows to a new 64 bit Windows machine (both Windows 7)? I've got a Windows 7 Pro 32 bit PC. Getting a new Windows 7 Home 64 bit.  Is there anything I can use to transfer my  programs (the ones that don't come in a 64 bit flavor)  to the new PC? There is a related  that doesn't address the programs part. What kind of questions can I expect to see on a qualifying exam? I mistakenly deleted around 2,000,000 records from a remote SQL Server 2008 table.  The server is not granting me access to the backup files on the server side.   Is there any way to get back these records? Attributive or Possessive noun: the Dell Company's staff. or the Dell Company staff? In the following is it better to use a possessive noun with an apostrophe or an attributive noun without an apostrophe?     The following list details the assumptions that have been made in   conjunction with the Dell Company’s staff.   Or      The following list details the assumptions that have been made in   conjunction with the Dell Company staff.   Assume Company is the name of a company, such as Dell. Evaluating $\zeta(0)$ using the functional equation of Riemann-Zeta function. $$\zeta(it)=2it\pi it−1\sin(i\pi t/2)\Gamma(1−it)\zeta(1−it).$$ Everything on the RHS is never zero,  Does that means LHS has no zeros, since $\sin(s)$ has a simple zero at $s=0$ while $\zeta(1−s)$ has a simple pole at $s=0$  (the Laurent expansion), so the product $\sin(i\pi t/2)\zeta(1−it)$ is finite and nonzero at $t=0$.  My question is that from functional equation one can't get direct answer $\zeta(0)=−1/2$ unless using alternate infinite series ! What happens if a person can't die of a heart attack? How to solve the equation $\phi(n) = k$? TL:DR Smart guides aren't accurate - even though the snap, (end up causing more problems in the long run) is there a way to fix it?  Maybe there are some settings that I'm missing (need to be changed)    I use my smart guides all the time (and am overall pleased with them). I do have my issues with it, as explained here:  A lot of times, when I'm trying to make a bunch of triangles like this:    Done by making a triangle, cloning, flipping, rotating etc. Repeat until full  (Perfect) Snapping using Smart Guides    Ends up looking likebetween the triangles (Outline Mode)    Now I personally (with a strong attention to detail) will notice that there is something off after making just 1 or 2 triangles (Even before outline mode... strokes look oh so slightly thicker/off)   And then I check in outline mode... and sure enough:    Notice the line spaces (and this is in outline mode, so if I didn't notice it before, now it's sitting right in front of my nose)  The way I (seemingly) "fixed" the first image was by adding in a thick stroke outline so that masks out the difference, however, in a lot of my cases I don't want to have a stroke at all (and then you really notice the problems). The current is maximum through those segments of a circuit that offer the least resistance. But how do electrons know beforehand that which path will resist their drift the least? Can I travel to the UK one day before my visa starts? I am planning to travel to the UK with my mother. Her visa is valid from 15th June and my visa's validity starts on July 1st.   I will be leaving from Chennai on June 30th, with a transit in Mumbai, but the arrival in the UK is late on the 30th of June. Will I be permitted to travel or will I be prevented from boarding because of the July 1 validity?   Do I need to apply for a vignette transfer? I'm confused about it, as some sites say it is only for those with a new passport. If I do need a vignette transfer, what is the procedure and what documents are required? Solving an ODE in power series Can I safely uninstall games purchased from Steam? Can I uninstall purchased games from my computer and then later download them through Steam without having to re-purchase if I'd like to?   I'm running short on space on my laptop, looking to free up some space and wanted to be sure that I can safely re-download anything at a later time similar to how you can with the Xbox Live marketplace. Continuity of function mapping connected set to connected set Show (within ZF Set Theory without choice) that for any sets $A,B,C:$   If $|A|^{|B|} = |B|$, then $|A| = 1 = |B|.$   That is, if there is a bijection from $|A|^{|B|}$ to $|B|$, then  $|A| = 1 = |B|.$  Please help me.. How to execute several commands after each other with one request to the terminal (without using a file)? Scientific visualization - How to replicate instances around a sphere? I want to replicate a protein structure around an icosahedron. Basically a vesicle of protein structure is what we want:  When I am instancing the protein structure using each vertex of the icosahedron it looks like:  However, the tails are supposed to be directed towards the center. How can I make that work? What's the easiest way to run GUI apps on Windows Subsystem for Linux as of 2018? I searched around, and currently there are two methods suggested; installing an enhancement for Windows Subsystem for Linux and installing an XServer.  I want to know which method is the most hassle-free (easy to install AND to use), and which one is less memory-heavy.  I just want Synaptic and CMake. Why couldn't that be a builtin feature? A groupoid is defined to be a category where every morphism is an isomorphism. So sometimes a group is said to just be a groupoid with one object.   When I try to make sense of this, I denote the single object as $G$. I view the morphisms as the analogue of "elements." The identity $1_G$ is the analogue of the usual identity $e$, we can compose any two morphisms since they are all arrows on $G$, and for any arrow $f$, we have some $f^{-1}$ such that $f\circ f^{-1}=f^{-1}\circ f=1_G$, so the idea of inverses is still there.  So I informally associate the elements of the group in the usual definition to be the arrows in the groupoid. But what does the sole object $G$ in the groupoid "correspond to" if I were to try to informally make sense of a group in the usual sense? Does it even correspond to anything? onKeyUp not firing for ESC in IE
