Java: how to convert a list to an array of a generic type
How to create a generic array in Java?
I have just bought a new computer and I have everything migrated over except for my Steam games.  I looked in Program Files/Steam/ and I found a folder full of the games I have downloaded, but I do not know if it is safe to just copy these folders from one computer to another (seeing as a lot of other applications will not work if you do this), or is there another recommended way?  I don't really feel like re-downloading all my games. I don't have the time nor bandwidth to download 20GB over a 1.5mbps connection.  Is it possible to contact Valve and get a disk with the games on it? Stacking Multiple Ternary Operators in PHP Limit of ${a_n}^{1/n}$ is equal to $\lim_{n\to\infty} a_{n+1}/a_n$ Today my lecturer put up on the board that:  If $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}$ exists and $a_n&gt;0$ then   $\displaystyle \limsup\limits_{n\to\infty}\left(a_n^{\frac{1}{n}}\right)=\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}$  however I am not sure why this is true, can somebody give me a hint or something as to how to go about proving this.  thanks for any help Can I call a constructor from another constructor (do constructor chaining) in C++? As a  developer I'm used to running through constructors:    class Test {     public Test() {         DoSomething();     }      public Test(int count) : this() {         DoSomethingWithCount(count);     }      public Test(int count, string name) : this(count) {         DoSomethingWithName(name);     } }   Is there a way to do this in C++?  I tried calling the Class name and using the 'this' keyword, but both fail. Uses of the definite article (the) in generic noun phrases I was reading a paragraph about lions and I came up with a question about the definite article (the).  Let me tell you first what I know about it.     1->We use the before a singular noun (when we are sure about the noun.    And the listener and the speaker both know about it).      2->We use the before a plural noun (again when we are sure about the noun,   and we are not talking generally).   So, my question is why does the writer use the here as we are not talking about any specific lion or lions. We are talking generally.  The Paragraph:     Living in the grasslands, scrub, and open woodlands of sub-Saharan   Africa, the lion is the second largest cat in the world. It is dwarfed   slightly by the tiger, which is closely related and has a very similar   body type.    Can we re-write the paragraph something like this:     Living in grasslands, scrub, and open woodlands of sub-Saharan Africa,   lions are the second largest cat in the world. They are dwarfed   slightly by tigers, they are closely related and has a very similar   body type. If I wave around a bar magnet, the magnetic field in the space around it changes. Is this enough to go through the whole speed of light derivation implying that the motion creates an electromagnetic wave? If so how do I determine the wavelength and direction of the resulting wave?

I am resident of India and just got UK Business visa ( 6 months, multiple entry) .. I am going for a week on business trip. I want to take my wife along with me and at the end of trip.. I want to extend my trip for 3 days and we want to spend some time on leisure.   What visa I should apply for my wife.. visitor visa? should she mention in the visa form that she is going along with me and staying with me while I am on work and later we are spending time on leisure.   While filling my business visa form, there was a field asking if anyone else is going with me.. I selected no.. as there were no plans.  Also is it ok to spend time on leisure on UK Business visa Finite Sum $\sum\limits_{k=1}^{m-1}\frac{1}{\sin^2\frac{k\pi}{m}}$ Undefined variable as function argument javascript $|f(x)-f(y)|\geq k|x-y|$.Then $f$ is bijective and its inverse is continuous. My exercise says: Let $f:\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ a continuous function e suppose that exists $k$ such that:  $$|f(x)-f(y)|\geq k|x-y|$$  Then $f$ is bijective and  its inverse is continuous.  Well, there's a Theorem , Invariance of domain, that says   "If $U$ is an open subset of $\mathbb {R^n}$ and $f : U \rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ is an injective continuous map, then $V = f(U)$ is open and $f$ is a homeomorphism between $U$ and $V$".  But I'm not knowing how to proceed...need a clue...Thanks for attention!!!

Contacts in Mavericks Messages display phone numbers instead of contact names Since updating to Mavericks the Messages app doesn't display the contact names for people I've been communicating with iMessage, it shows their phone number instead. My messages thankfully still stay synced between my iPhone and Messages on Mavericks. Can I travel domestically within the United States with my USA expired passport?

What is the "Wanna Cry" ransomware's possible impact on Linux users? It's just come to light that there's a $300 ransom you have to pay because ransomware targeting Microsoft Windows has encrypted your data. What steps do Linux users need to protect from this if for example they are using wine?  This ransomware is widely reported to be based on a tool developed by the NSA to hack into computers. The NSA tool was used by a hacker group called the Shadow Brokers. The code can be found in .  Microsoft released a patch (MS17-010) against this vulnerability on March 14, 2017. The mass infection is reported to have begun spreading on April 14th. This is discussed .  As I haven't booted Windows 8.1 in 6 to 8 weeks, can I apply this patch from Ubuntu without booting Windows first? (After research it may be possible ClamAV could report the vulnerability from the Linux side looking into Windows partition but it's unlikely it could apply the patch. The best method would be to reboot into Windows and apply patch MS17-010.)  Individuals and small companies who subscribe to Microsoft Automatic Updates are uninfected. Larger organizations who delay apply patches as they are tested against organization intranets are more likely to be infected.  On May 13, 2017, Microsoft took the extraordinary step of releasing a patch for Windows XP which has been unsupported for 3 years.  No word if wine is doing anything about a security update. It was reported in a comment below that Linux can be infected too when users run .  An  registered a domain name that acted as a kill-switch to the ransomware. I presume the non-existent domain was used by the hackers on their private intranet so they didn't infect themselves.  Next time they will be smarter so don't rely on this current kill-switch. Installing the Microsoft patch, which prevents exploiting a vulnerability in the SMBv1 protocol, is the best method.  On May 14, 2017 Red Hat Linux said they are not affected by "Wanna Cry" ransomware. This might mislead Ubuntu users along with Red Hat, CentOS, ArchLinux and Fedora users. Red Hat supports wine which answers below confirm can be effected. In essence Ubuntu and other Linux distro users googling this issue might be mislead by the Red Hat Linux Support answer .  May 15, 2017 Update. Over the last 48 hours Microsoft released patches called KB4012598 for  to protect against "Wanna Cry" ransomware. These Windows versions are no longer on automatic updates. Although I applied security update MS17-010 on my Windows 8.1 platform yesterday, my old Vista Laptop still needs patch KB4012598 downloaded and manually applied.       Moderator note: This question is not off topic - it asks about whether or not any Linux users need to do any steps for protecting against the risk.      It is perfectly on topic here, because it's relevant to Linux (which Ubuntu is), and it's also relevant for Ubuntu users running Wine or similar compatibility layers, or even VMs on their Ubuntu Linux machines. Strict warning: Only variables should be passed by reference I get the following error:     Strict warning: Only variables should be passed by reference in include() (line 18 of /home/sites/dev/theparce/sites/all/themes/parce/block--block--3.tpl.php).
