Find the reminder of $2^{62}$ with 85
Modular exponentiation by hand ($a^b\bmod c$)
Permutations on word $MISSISSIPPI$. In how many ways can the letters of the word $MISSISSIPPI$ be rearranged ?   I am confused on whether it is  $\dfrac{11!}{4!4!2!}$ or $\dfrac{11!}{4!4!2!}-1$  since it is given rearranged and not arranged. Which shell am I running on? Can I add an exterior outlet by tapping an adjacent interior outlet? Can I tap in a outlet not being used that is behind a bed and add a outlet behind it outside? Using it for a electric bbq grill. The grill specs are: 110 volt, 60hz, 275w, 5 amp service. Plagiarism of Lecture Slides Original Post:  I recently attended a lecture with highly technical content.  One of the middle slides in the deck had a particular phrase that reminded me of something that I had read several years before.  It took me a few minutes, but I found the original source (another slide deck) and am shocked to find that the professor lifted 35 slides verbatim from the original source.  The University holds students accountable for plagiarism and strictly defines plagiarism such that this clearly fits.  The slides were used verbatim and no credit or reference was provided.  Further, logos were added and color schemes were changed to make make them look slightly more like original content.  What should I do?  This professor has a professional full time job and I can imagine this getting swept under the rug, but this is clearly plagiarism and is spelled out very clearly in the student conduct code.  Is this an overreaction or should I pursue this?  This is confounded by the fact that I am very disappointed by the rigor of the course and feel like the professor lacks adequate technical background to teach the course (I guess my suspicions came true).  I'm really busy at work so don't want to deal with a big todo, but believe this really discredits the academic integrity of the course.  Additional content in response to comments:  The University defines plagiarism as "Using another writer's words without proper citation."  There is no proper citation given here, and these are not educational materials.  This is 35 slides from someone else's tutorial presentation.  I do not believe that the professor and the author of the original content have a relationship.  I have emailed the author to enquire about any permissions or relationship.  Still, even with permission, this is still plagiarism as defined be most people and as defined by the University.  All original works in the US are implicitly copyright protected, so there is also a copyright issue, but this is not currently my concern, though it could be of interest to the original author.  I have emailed him, so this is up to him.  This is a US institution and is a top tier highly respected school.  I am also not a lay student, but a Ph.D. with a degree from a top tier university who has served as a faculty member at two top tier universities (including this one).  I have also taught undergraduate courses in the past.  I have never engaged in this type of plagiarism, have never known colleagues to do so, and am shocked that so many people suggest this is par for the course in teaching.  My doctorate is from a school that prides itself on its honor code and takes honor code violations very seriously and I have served on the honor council and deliberated on a case of plagiarism in the past.  I really am shocked by this incident.  Response from Original Author of the Slides:  I have received a response from the author of the slides and he states that the work is his original work, that there are no additional authors of the work, that no one has been given permission to present the work, and that he believes his copyright on the work has been infringed upon.  He has requested additional information to assert his claim on the copyright. How to find sum of power series $\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{1}{n!(n+2)}$ by differentiation and integration? Let $$ S = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{1}{n!(n+2)} $$  Integrate the Taylor Series of $xe^x$ to show that S = 1  Also, Differentiate the Taylor series of $\frac{e^x - 1}{x}$ to show that S = 1  For the integration one, I got $\int xe^x dx$ = $x^2\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{1}{n!(n+2)} x^n$ and pretty much stuck. I can see the S term but i have no idea how to move on from there In .NET, which loop runs faster, 'for' or 'foreach'? In C#/VB.NET/.NET, which loop runs faster, for or foreach?  Ever since I read that a for loop works faster than a foreach loop a  I assumed it stood true for all collections, generic collections, all arrays, etc.  I scoured Google and found a few articles, but most of them are inconclusive (read comments on the articles) and open ended.  What would be ideal is to have each scenario listed and the best solution for the same.  For example (just an example of how it should be):   for iterating an array of 1000+ strings - for is better than foreach for iterating over IList (non generic) strings - foreach is better than for   A few references found on the web for the same:               [Edit]  Apart from the readability aspect of it, I am really interested in facts and figures. There are applications where the last mile of performance optimization squeezed do matter. Hero who is against enhancements but has some himself Japan is a volcanically active country which means it has a plethora of onsen (hot springs) all around the country.  Visiting these onsen is supposed to be a popular vacation destination for the work-weary Japanese.    I've been told that, as with other things in Japan, there is a rather strict etiquette surrounding the use of the onsen.  In particular, the two things I've read about so far are   Swimming Suits are not allowed. It is very important that one bathe immediately before entering the onsen.   Are these true?  Are there any other taboos that a naive American should be aware of? How can I make Firefox open magnet-links in Transmission? I can't find out how to make Firefox open magnet-links in Transmission.   There is no option to make it the standard program for magnet-links in its properties, and as I am not experienced with the filesystem so I can't add it as the standard program in Firefox either. Is GNU's Java Compiler (GCJ) dead? I was working with a new C++ developer a while back when he asked the question: "Why can't variable names start with numbers?"  I couldn't come up with an answer except that some numbers can have text in them (123456L, 123456U) and that wouldn't be possible if the compilers were thinking everything with some amount of alpha characters was a variable name.  Was that the right answer?  Are there any more reasons?  string 2BeOrNot2Be = "that is the question"; // Why won't this compile? Good-morning Math Exchange (and good evening to some!)  I have a very basic question that is confusing me.   At school I was told that $\sqrt {a^2} = \pm a$  However, does this mean that $\sqrt {a^2} = +2$ *and*$-2$ or does it mean: $\sqrt {a^2} = +2$ *OR*$-2$  Is it wrong to say 'and'? What are the implications of choosing 'and'/'or'  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and enjoy the rest of your day :) I saw there are various manga with Akame ga KILL! in their names.  The ones I have found are:       Which one should I read if I want to continue the storyline of the anime? At which embassy should I apply for a Schengen visa when staying a few days in several countries? I'm planning to go to Germany on Sept 6-8, then Netherlands on Sept 8-11 and exit Switzerland on Sept 11-14.  My question is:  Which embassy do I need to apply for the Schengen visa? The number of days are the same for Netherlands and Switzerland, but I'm planning to apply in Netherlands since it will be my second point of entry.

Previously, I have installed Windows 7 on my 320 GB laptop with three partitions 173, 84 and 63 GB each. The 63 GB partition was where the Windows was installed. The rest were for file containers.  Now I changed my OS to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I installed Ubuntu by replacing the entire Windows 7 on the 63 GB partition. The rest of the partitions remain as an NTFS Windows partition and I can still access them both (the 173 and 84 GB partitions).  Now I want to change the two partitions of Windows into an Ubuntu format partitions plus most importantly, I want to extend the 63 GB partition to more than a 100 GB because at the moment I am running out of disk space. Whenever I try to install any application, especially using wine, it always complains for a shortage of disk space.  How do I do the extending activity before I entirely format my laptop again and lose all the important files on my partitions? If a superconductor has zero resistance, does it have infinite amperage? In which US accent is “again” pronounced /əˈɡeɪn/ with the FACE vowel, not /əˈɡɛn/ with the DRESS vowel? Most dictionaries provide the US pronunciation of “again” as /əˈɡɛn/ (uh-gen) with the DRESS vowel. This is the most common pronunciation in the USA. However, I think I might have also come across /əˈɡeɪn/ (uh-gain) with the FACE vowel. This sounds like the word “gain” with an “a” at the beginning. Is there a US accent where “again” is pronounced this way? Does this constitute a valid proof that $\frac{x^2}{1+x^4} \leq \frac{1}{2}$? Windows 7 File Explorer search not working
