Why do we need different auxiliary verbs ("is", "are", "am") for different pronouns?
Why are so many important verbs irregular?
Why is the Ideal Norm Multiplicative? Why is list initialization (using curly braces) better than the alternatives? Cat5e cable has a rated current of 0.577A (). I am wondering if this is voltage dependent? I am almost certain it is not, but if it is, something might blow up. Say I need to get 2A at 5V across the cable. I boost it to 24V / 0.5A, send it across the wire, and step it down to back to 5V and a bit under 2A. Would that work? If the cable is proper Cat5e could I do this trick with up to 100V as long as I don't exceed 0.577A?   I am worried if the cable heats up at near maximum rated current, for instance, the safe voltage could drop as the insulation softens up or something. I will certainly test this, but I wonder if there is some rule that I don't know about. 90s (or earlier) movie with experimental, invisible, teleporting, time-traveling ship enumerate in multicols The following image illustrates what am looking for:    Essentially I want the numbering to occur as shown above but using the multicol and enumitem package. But when I try it by using the following code:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath,amssymb} \usepackage{enumitem,multicol} \begin{document} \begin{enumerate} \item Evaluate each of the following if $x$ is a non-zero real number.     \begin{multicols}{2}     \begin{enumerate}[itemsep=1cm]% The item sep is my choice here.     \item $\dfrac{|x|}{x}$     \item $\dfrac{x}{|x|}$     \item $\dfrac{|-x|}{-x}$     \item $|x|-|-x|$     \end{enumerate}      \end{multicols} \end{enumerate} \end{document}   I get:    Essentially, I want the (b) to be where the (c) is. I know this has been done but I can't seem to find it. Do I choose the target or the ally for the Help action? Every once in a while after updating MiKTeX, the installation gets into an inconsistent state. This might be a problem with the packages (an example is described in ), but sometimes packages are split or renamed. The cases I remember are when  and when miktex-etex-base-2,9 was renamed to miktex-etex-base-2.9 (if I recall correctly; I am sure it was either that or something very similar). In each case the MiKTeX Update process suggested to remove the "old" packages but it didn't give the user any hints about him having to manually add the respective replacement packages back in the package manager to get one's MiKTeX installation back into a usable state.  What are best practices for keeping MiKTeX up to date? Note that I'm not asking about installing new packages or fonts in general; there are other questions covering this area.   In which order should one execute the Update process and the Synchronization of the repository? , it is recommended to check the MiKTeX homepage before updating. What else should one do? When and in which order (and why) should one execute the "Refresh FNDB" and "Update Formats" processes within the MiKTeX Options menu? What else can happen? Other advice? Please add Right To Left text support in Stack Exchange You know, some of us read right to left...  Certain sites like  and  have an obvious need for this, as Arabic and Hebrew are Right To Left (RTL) languages. Many answers on those sites cite the Torah and the Quran respectively. Directly quoting these sources properly requires RTL text. QGIS Graphics Glitch after changing CRS apt-get build-dep is unable to find a source package I have already followed  to disable middle mouse button paste on my Ubuntu 12.04.   Works like a charm.   Now I am trying to achieve the same on my Linux Mint 17. When I try to  sudo apt-get build-dep libgtk2.0-0   it gives me the following output:   Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Picking 'gtk+2.0' as source package instead of 'libgtk2.0-0' E: Unable to find a source package for gtk+2.0   For me it looks like apt-get is somehow "resolving" 'libgtk2.0-0' to 'gtk+2.0', but then does not find any package named like that.   EDIT:  although I am now able to compile the program (see my answer), I still do not know what  Picking 'gtk+2.0' as source package instead of 'libgtk2.0-0' is supposed to mean. Any insight on this would be appreciated, thanks! Allow all reviewers to see deleted posts they reviewed So moderators just got . Often, these bans are due to specific very bad reviews, like approving spam or non-answers. It will be common for us to give links to these bad reviews in the ban message that the reviewers will be presented with.  However, many of these reviewers lack the necessary reputation to see deleted posts. If we're banning someone from review for approving spam or non-answers, almost all of the time those posts will be deleted. If we give them links to the reviews they performed, they won't see the now-deleted posts that they approved, and won't have a chance to learn what they did wrong.  As examples of this, I had to actually take a screenshot to show the reviewers  and  the posts that triggered their ban, because they could no longer see them.  I propose that reviewers of any reputation level be able to see posts that they reviewed, even ones that were later deleted, if they are presented with a link to their review. They already saw the post once, so there's no harm in showing it to them again, and reviewers are going to need to see why they made a bad call on a particular review. If $f$ is entire and $|f|\geq 1$, then show $f$ is constant. I know I'm going to use Liouville's Theorem, but my main question is why is $1/|f(z)|$ entire as well if $f$ is entire? Is this just a basic property: if $f$ is entire, then $1/f$ is entire? Thanks for the help. Scalar Field Theories The Lagrangian density for a single real scalar field theory is \begin{equation}\mathcal{L}=\frac{1}{2}(\partial_{\mu}\phi)^{2}-V(\phi)\end{equation} I have often seen this written \begin{equation}\mathcal{L}=\frac{1}{2}\partial_{\mu}\phi\partial^{\mu}\phi-V(\phi)\end{equation} which appears to differ in the kinetic term.  Specifically \begin{equation}(\partial_{\mu}\phi)^{2}=(\partial_{\mu}\phi)(\partial^{\mu}\phi)\neq\partial_{\mu}\phi\partial^{\mu}\phi=(\partial_{\mu}\phi)(\partial^{\mu}\phi)+\phi\partial_{\mu}\partial^{\mu}\phi\end{equation} where the product rule has been used in the last equality. Is this just sloppy notation (which is acceptable because only first derivatives in the field are considered anyway), or is my maths very bad? Compare given date with today As far as I can tell, it's something like this:  damage reduction = armor / (armor + 100)   Is this accurate? How is the derivative of $\mbox{Trace}\left\{ X^T A X B\right\}$ with respect to matrix $X$ equal to $AXB + A^TXB^T$?  \begin{align}   \nabla_X \ \textrm{Trace}\left\{ X^T A X B\right\} = AXB + A^TXB^T \end{align}  where $A$ and $B$ matrices are given.
