PHP function substr() error
One of the drivers behind the 'Rule of Two' is that with fewer Sith, the dark side will become more concentrated in those users and they will be more powerful as a result. Is there any indication that the same is true for Jedi? $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt p_{1}+\sqrt p_{2})=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt p_{1},\sqrt p_{2})$ for $p_{1},p_{2}$ primes. Motivation for Napier's Logarithms In the wikipedia article on logarithms, I am clueless about the approach and motivation for the following computations done by Napier (and the mysterious appearance of Euler's number) in this . Please help me understand:       By repeated subtractions Napier   calculated $10^7(1 − 10^{−7})^L$ for L   ranging from 1 to 100. The result for   $L=100$ is approximately $0.99999 = 1  − 10^{-5}$. Napier then calculated the   products of these numbers with $10^7(1  − 10^{−5})^L$ for L from 1 to 50, and   did similarly with $0.9995 ≈ (1 −  10^{−5})^{20}$ and $0.99 ≈ 0.995^{20}$.   These computations, which occupied 20   years, allowed him to give, for any   number ''N'' from 5 to 10 million, the   number ''L'' that solves the equation      $$N=10^7 {(1-10^{-7})}^L$$      In modern notation, the relation to   natural logarithms is:      $$L = \log_{(1-10^{-7})} \!\left(  \frac{N}{10^7} \right) \approx 10^7  \log_{ \frac{1}{e}} \!\left(  \frac{N}{10^7} \right) = -10^7 \log_e  \!\left( \frac{N}{10^7} \right)$$      where the very close approximation   corresponds to the observation that      $${(1-10^{-7})}^{10^7} \approx  \frac{1}{e}. $$   I understand the computations, but I don't know what's going on. Firefox 33 doesn't see Java Plugin I am trying to enable Java (not JavaScript) in my Firefox v. 33 so that I can use applets within the browser.  Currently, I just get a dark gray box across the whole screen when I try to load an applet, without any error message or prompt to install plugin.  As per , I tried going into the Firefox plugin page to activate it, however, it wasn't there listed.  I do have Java 7 installed and it is in the path:  &gt;java -version java version "1.7.0_71" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_71-b14) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.71-b01, mixed mode)   What do I need to do to get Firefox to see my Java installation and recognize it as a plugin so that I can enable it and view applets inside the browser? I'm trying to put together a comprehensive regex to validate phone numbers. Ideally it would handle international formats, but it must handle US formats, including the following:   1-234-567-8901 1-234-567-8901 x1234 1-234-567-8901 ext1234 1 (234) 567-8901 1.234.567.8901 1/234/567/8901 12345678901   I'll answer with my current attempt, but I'm hoping somebody has something better and/or more elegant. Overstayed my US visa for over 9 years, never got deported, can I return as a tourist? Why can't I install Ubuntu or Wubi on a Windows Dynamic Disk? I've been trying to install 12.04 for a while now, I'm running on Windows 7 and I already made the partition (it's dynamic). I've tried booting from a disc and also the Windows installer. I haven't tried used any repair-boot programs or anything. Every time I tried to load from either, I get an error:  command=C:\windows\sysnative\bcdedit.exe /set {03f9077f-661f-11e1-845a-d08b36406c3d} device partition=U;  retval=1  stderr=An error has occured setting the element data. The request isn't supported  stdout=   Then after that, it makes a log file with information that I don't understand.  If it is simply due to the fact of it being a dynamic partition, someone please help. If it is more extensive, anyone with details on possible solutions or definite ones please express them. Crash adding comment The SE iOS app crashes when adding comments to certain posts.  It was discovered to be if the "Add an Answer" button was visible, not just responding to a deleted comment.  Edited to match answer. Previous steps were not the only use case, and this error keeps getting re-reported in different ways. Why is it true that $\mathrm{adj}(A)A = \det(A) \cdot I$? Subject–verb agreement not clear in "Is two bars OK?" Is the following correct?     Can I get some chocolate for myself? Yes, you can but not much.   Is two bars OK?   Is there any rule to explain the sentence above?  The dialogue's taken from Grammar Textbook Round-Up Level #3. What is the word for act of monotonously demanding for something (many be a toy) repeatedly? I am lost in normalizing, could anyone guide me please.  I have a minimum and maximum values, say -23.89 and 7.54990767, respectively.  If I get a value of 5.6878 how can I scale this value on a scale of 0 to 1. I'm using 13.04 for the first time and I am using proxy base server that's why I can't download anything while I use apt-get update then it shows this message  coolmonter@coolmonter-HP-ProBook-4431s:~$ apt-get update E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/ E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?   any suggestion I am non-EU citizen working in Germany. Can I travel to UK without a visa? I am from Non-EU country (from Nepal to be precise) and recently moved to Germany for work. I am applying for BlueCard. I would like to travel to UK later this year, can I go there without visa as I am resident in another EU country?  I can't find this information online. Any links/references will be much appreciated. Working in a group blender project Me and my team are new to blender, we are now planning for a small project. What I want to ask here are some questions regarding the team work:   We use git for version control in web projects, Is there any special version control for blender project. Creating object of each file and integrating in the project is one way we saw to complete the project. But is there any good way to work in the group?   Please tell us from your experience what might be the best way to work together in a group blender project. Using OpenSUSE leap 15.1 10.2.29-lp151.2.9.1-x86_64 from vendor OpenSUSE (installed)  CREATE TABLE testtab2(     my_id2 INT AUTO_INCREMENT,     name2 VARCHAR(10),     comment2 VARCHAR(20),     PRIMARY KEY (my_id2) );   testtab.txt:  |Roger |hurray   | |George|today    | |Paul  |yesterday| |John  |last year| |Ringo |tomorrow |   LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'testtab.txt' INTO TABLE testtab FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|';   works fine with linenumbers (my_id) 1-5  INSERT INTO testtab (name,comment) VALUES ('Beatles','band');   this gets linenumber (my_id) 8 - should be 6.  If testtab.txt have 8 records and using INSERT INTO 1 record this gets linenr (my_id) 16. This happens in other tables too - one moved from 199 to 256.  Anyone who can solve the problem? The  from Goblin Punch states the following:     Hungry Coffin   HD 6 AC 14 Slam 2d6 or 2d8 Swallow 1d6 + swallow   Fly 9 Int 5 Morale 12   It says the Hungry Coffin has "HD 6". This doesn't help me at all, because I still don't know what its average HP is, or how to roll its HP. How do I figure this out? Thanks! List of generally believed conjectures which cannot all be true There are some conjectures which most leading experts believe in albeit no one can prove it yet. For example: $\mathcal{P} \neq \mathcal{NP}$, the Riemann hypothesis or the Collatz conjecture.  My question is whether there is a set of such conjectures which cannot all be true, eg. is a statement such as "Either $\mathcal{P} = \mathcal{NP}$ or the Riemann hypothesis is wrong" true? Integral around unit sphere of inner product For arbitrary $n\times n$ matrices M, I am trying to solve the integral  $$\int_{\|v\| = 1} v^T M v.$$  Solving this integral in a few low dimensions (by passing to spherical coordinates) suggests the answer in general to be  $$\frac{A\,\mathrm{tr}(M)}{n}$$ where $A$ is the surface area of the $(n-1)$-dimensional sphere. Is there a nice, coordinate-free approach to proving this formula? Check if wp-login is current page How can I check if the current page is wp-login.php or wp-signup.php ?  Are there more elegant solutions than using $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ?
