Other users have been leaving me angry and hostile comments accusing me of plagiarism and saying that I'm a liar and I should stop stealing answers. But I have only been copying content from other sites, not taking answers from other users.   I don't understand what is wrong here. Shouldn't we be focused on building all the content and knowledge in a single place, much like Wikipedia does?  What does it matter that I copy and paste content I've found elsewhere so long as the question gets an answer? How do I disable overlay scrollbars? It looks like Ubuntu 11.04 will come with  by default. I do like them, but I don't like the current mix of scrollbar types as many applications don't yet use those overlay scrollbars.  Is there a way to disable overlay scrollbars (without removing the overlay-scrollbar package)? Left/Right across multi-line equation I have a multi-line equation that I want to have matching sized parentheses. The advice I read online was to use \left( equation \right. \\ left. rest-of-equation \right) . However, this syntax leaves first half of the equation unaware of what is in the second half. For example, if you include a square root term after the break, the second parenthesis will be larger than the opening parenthesis. When you are using the aligned environment to split a long equation this can look somewhat offputting.    Compare the top equation to the bottom one. The parentheses match in size for the bottom equation, but the left hand parentheses for the top one is  noticeably smaller.  Top Code:   \begin{aligned}[t]   \gamma_{\text{u}} + \frac{1}{108}   \left(57\gamma_{\text{er}} \right. &amp;+  38\gamma_{\text{se}}\\ &amp; {}\pm  \left.\sqrt{2601 \gamma_{\text{er}}^2 + 3648  \gamma_{\text{er}}\gamma_{\text{se}} + 1444 \gamma_{\text{se}}^2}  \right)   \end{aligned}   Bottom Code:  \begin{aligned}[t] \gamma_{\text{u}} + \frac{1}{16} \left(9\gamma_{\text{er}}  +  6\gamma_{\text{se}} \pm  \sqrt{49 \gamma_{\text{er}}^2 + 76 \gamma_{\text{er}}\gamma_{\text{se}} + 36 \gamma_{\text{se}}^2} \right) \end{aligned} Sauron knew that the One Ring could be destroyed only in Mount Doom, where it was forged. From Sauron's perspective, no one would think about destroying the One Ring. But if someone did, then Mount Doom would be the only place to do so.  Why did he keep Mount Doom active? Wasn't the risk too high? On webmail every user gets error "ERROR: Message not sent. Server replied: 354" while sending mails.   But mails are sent properly and reaches properly.  Can you tell me where is problem, and why it is occurred?  UPDATE: I found in some resources that this is not an error but standard information message. On the other side, it's annoying. Can you tell me if it is a true, and if it is how can I avoid it? What is the difference of 3 object declarations of javascript How can I calculate the angle and proper turn direction between two 2D vectors? I am working on some movement AI where there are no obstacles and movement is restricted to the XY plane. I am calculating two vectors, v, the facing direction of ship 1, and w, the vector pointing from the position of ship 1 to ship 2.  I am then calculating the angle between these two vectors using the formula  arccos((v · w) / (|v| · |w|))   The problem I'm having is that arccos only returns values between 0° and 180°.  This makes it impossible to determine whether I should turn left or right to face the other ship.  Is there a better way to do this? Check for Process if Same is Running If $\lambda$ is an eigenvalue of $A^2$, then either $\sqrt{\lambda}$ or $-\sqrt{\lambda}$ is an eigenvalue of $A$ $A$ is an $n\times n$ matrix of complex numbers. Prove that if $\lambda$ is an eigenvalue of $A^2,$ then $\sqrt{\lambda}$ or $-\sqrt{\lambda}$ is an eigenvalue of $A.$    If $\lambda$ is an eigenvalue of $A^2,$ we have $\lambda\alpha=A^2\alpha$ for some $\alpha.$ Then how can we find a $\beta$ s.t. $\sqrt{\lambda}\beta=A\beta?$ The new ask page is now live on the network! Can I use a 23 W CFL in a fixture that's rated for a 60 W incandescent? I have a lamp that is rated at 60 Watts for an incandescent bulb with a disclaimer to use a 13 Watt bulb instead when using a CFL replacement. Do I really need to respect that disclaimer? Would not a 23 Watt CFL be just as safe to use? It still draws less power than a 60 Watt incandescent, right? Find out which process is locking a file or folder in Windows How can I find out which process is locking a file or folder in Windows?  For instance, when trying to delete a folder, Windows reports this:     The action can't be completed because the folder is open in another program   Happens the same with a file, but how do I find out what program or application is currently using it and preventing me from deleting the file or folder? How does quantization solve the ultraviolet catastrophe? MTMFS consuming an entire CPU core and fans running full bore with Lion You may be aware that Lion introduced MTMFS, the Mobile Time Machine File System.  I've had a couple of instances now where MTMFS has been chewing up an entire core of my dual-core (mid 2009) MacBook Pro for hours on end with no evidence that it's actually doing anything constructive.  As a consequence, CPU temperature rises and the cooling fans run fast and noisy.  Restarting the machine quietened things down again, but I'm expecting it to start again.  Does anyone understand MTMFS well enough to suggest why it's keeping itself busy (or is it most likely, simply a bug), or if there's currently any solution? I fear I may have gone deaf or been scalded to death before Apple release an update... What does the size of the standard deviation mean? According to  (my emphasis),     In statistics, the standard deviation ... is a measure that is used to quantify the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of data values. A standard deviation close to 0 indicates that the data points tend to be very close to the mean (also called the expected value) of the set, while a high standard deviation indicates that the data points are spread out over a wider range of values.   The purpose of the standard deviation (SD), then, is to tell us how varied or uniform (SD → 0) the data is.  So, given a certain SD, how varied is the data? What does the size of the standard deviation mean?  Please explain the meaning of the SD by interpreting an SD = 1 (M = 0).  If you cannot interpret the size (quantity) of this SD, what other information would you need to be able to interpret it, and how would you interpret it, given that information? Please provide an example.  If, on the other hand, the quantity of the SD cannot be qualified in this manner, my argument is that it is essentially meaningless. If you disagree, please explain the meaning of the SD.  &nbsp;    The following are earlier versions to give context to the answers. Unfortunately these didn't really convey what I wanted, and my attempt to ask it elsewhere was closed. (I don't need these versions answered now):  First revision:  What does the size of the standard deviation mean?  For example, if I want to study human body size and I find that adult human body size has a standard deviation of 2 cm, I would probably infer that adult human body size is very uniform, while a 2 cm standard deviation in the size of mice would mean that mice differ surprisingly much in body size.  Obviously the meaning of the standard deviation is its relation to the mean, and a standard deviation around a tenth of the mean is unremarkable (e.g. for IQ: SD = 0.15 * M).  But what is considered "small" and what is "large", when it comes to the relation between standard deviation and mean? Are there guidelines similar to the ones that Cohen gives for correlations (a correlation of 0.5 is large, 0.3 is moderate, and 0.1 is small)?    Original question:  We always calculate and report means and standard deviations. But what does the size of the variance actually mean?  For example, assume we are observing which seat people take in an empty room. If we observe that the majority of people sit close to the window with little variance, we can assume this to mean that people generally prefer siting near the window and getting a view or enough light is the main motivating factor in choosing a seat. If on the other hand we observe that while the largest proportion sit close to the window there is a large variance with other seats taken often also (e.g. many sit close to the door, others sit close to the water dispenser or the newspapers), we might assume that while many people prefer to sit close to the window, there seem to be more factors than light or view that influence choice of seating and differing preferences in different people.  At what values can we say that the behavior we have observed is very varied (different people like to sit in different places)? And when can we infer that behavior is mostly uniform (everyone likes to sit at the window) and the little variation our data shows is mostly a result of random effects or confounding variables (dirt on one chair, the sun having moved and more shade in the back, etc.)?  Are there guidelines for assessing the magnitude of variance in data, similar to Cohen's guidelines for interpreting effect size (a correlation of 0.5 is large, 0.3 is moderate, and 0.1 is small)?  For example, if 90% (or only 30%) of observations fall within one standard deviation from the mean, is that uncommon or completely unremarkable?

How can I know which radio button is selected via jQuery? Stopping a Thread in Java? I'm in the process of writing a piece of code that connects to a server spawns a bunch of threads using that connection and does a bunch of "stuff".  There are certain instances where the connection fails and I need to stop everything and start from scratch with a new object.  I wanted to clean up after the object but calling thread.stop on the threads, but this method is seemingly deprecated.  What is the recommended alternative to doing this? Should I write my own cleanup and exit method for each of the threads? Set the thread to null? or something else? I've been thinking of animating some dice and while most are easy to make, I'm having some trouble figuring out a way to generate a regular dodecahedron. I could hand build it but it would be potentially uneven. Would using the base of a 5 sided cylinder and then some variation on spin be the best option or is there a better way?
