Looking for a sci-fi movie in which a human astronaut befriends an alien on a reddish planet This probably wasn't a blockbuster back in its time as I remember the special effects didn't seem all that bombastic, but I do remember a few details.  A human astronaut lands (or crash-lands) on a prominently reddish planet. It might have been Mars, thought it might not have been. I think the atmosphere on said planet was humanly breathable (as in the astronaut does not wear his helmet).  This human astronaut needs to survive. He spots a humanoid alien, apparently also having crash-landed or otherwise in need of survival. He sees this alien consume some sort of greenish orb, apparently for nourishment. He sneaks up to the alien (or the alien craft) in an attempt to grab some of those greenish orbs. I don't remember whether he succeeds, but he does get beaten up by the alien.  The next bit of detail I remember was the human astronaut constructing some sort of shelter to protect both him and the alien from... meteor showers? The human astronaut piles up some rocks to build a hut while the alien, apparently having learned a few English words, says "shiiiiit" and "no solid". The human astronaut asks, incredulous, "No solid?" and punches the hut he just build. "See? Solid!" he proclaims, while the hut collapses a few seconds later. The alien laughs.  Later on the human astronaut is either caught by or accidentally fell into some sort of mouth-in-the-sand creature. He is saved by the alien in the process (or was it the alien who fell into the mouth-creature and was saved by the human astronaut). They witness the mouth-creature spitting out a turtle-like shell (from another local wildlife) of some sort. The human astronaut observes, and I paraphrase, "This stuff must be so tough that even [the mouth-creature] cannot digest it!" He then proceeds to build a meteor shelter from collected shells.  The last bit of detail I remember is when the alien becomes pregnant and is dying. The human astronaut, having thoroughly befriended the alien at this point, asks (and I paraphrase), "What do you mean you're pregnant? Aren't you a male?" to which the alien responds (and again I paraphrase), "For us it comes naturally, unlike for you humans whose pregnancy only comes after a brief period of pleasure". The alien then asks the human astronaut to bring the child to the alien's home planet and recite the names of the child's ancestors in front of... alien rulers, I guess. The last scene of the movie is of the human astronaut, having arrived at the alien's home planet, standing side-by-side (or perhaps hand-in-hand) with the alien child while chanting in an alien language (what I presume to be the names of the child's ancestors). Why do the :before and :after pseudo-elements require a 'content' property? Given: a = 1 b = 10 c = 100  How do I display a leading zero for all numbers with less than two digits?

How to determine if $n (n \geq 2)$ given numbers can be summed up to a certain number? I'm interested in knowing if there's a theorem for checking if combinations of $n$ given positive numbers can be summed up to a certain number.   For example, if I was given $n = 2$ numbers, which are $k_1$ and $k_2$, and I was asked if I could make a combination like $n_1 * k_1 + n_2 *k_2 = C$, all $\in \mathbb{N}^+$, I could check remainders to see if it is possible.   However, if $n = 3$ or higher, how could I check if combinations of $k_1, k_2, ..., k_n$ can be summed up to a $C$? Thank you for any inputs!

By just typing some commands, how can Ubuntu be uninstalled? I don't want to install Windows or anything, leaving my PC without an OS.  Would this command work?  sudo rm -rf / The question I am working on is, &quot;Consider the following. (a) Find the angular speed of Earth's rotation about its axis. rad/s (b) How does this rotation affect the shape of Earth?&quot;  I am fully capable of solving part (a); however, I am not sure how to describe the effect earth's rotation on its shape. I tried to search my textbook for the answer, but could not find anything. Is there an actual effect on the shape? I am trying to prove that any conjugate of $a$ has the same order as $a$.  Let $G$ be a group and let $a \in G$.  An element $b \in G$ is called a conjugate of $a$ if $b=xax^{-1}$.  My professor gave us a hint.  Prove $a^k=e$ iff $b^k=e$ for all $k \in \mathbb{Z}$ implies $o(a) = o(b)$.  My first move is to $b^k = (xax^{-1})^k = (x^{-1})^ka^kx^k = (x^{-1})^kex^k = (x^{-1})^kx^k=x^{-k+k}=x^0$  I am not sure that I am doing this correctly?  I am trying to get $b^k=e$.  However when I raise $(xax^{-1})^k$, I am not sure if I what I have done is correct?  I am kind of confused here. I have made a command  \newcommand{\mysec}[2]{%  \textbf{#1} \\ #2 }   I use it with \mysec{A}{B}.  But sometimes I also want a third parameter. I could make a whole new command for those situations where I need 3 parameters. But I thought if I could handle it with an optional parameter in my original command?  So I have to check if the third parameter is set and how to print if it is set. It'd be nice to see reputation updates in the app, as we get on both the desktop and mobile sites.  Mock-up of how this would look:        Other possible icon states:        While I understand reputation is shown in the feed, it's a bit unwieldy, and has no notification.   With this feature implemented, the feed could arguably lose both reputation and inbox items, and be left with the interesting questions that fill it up. This would make for a much more consistent UX across app and desktop. Foreign key constraint on array member? Python program to calculate harmonic series Does anyone know how to write a program in Python that will calculate the addition of the harmonic series. i.e. 1 + 1/2 +1/3 +1/4... I have passed the calc sequence, and thought that I understood things.  But I have trouble with limits now and again.  From the way I understand it, the 'best' way to evaluate a limit, is to evaluate the expression at the number in the limit.  In that way it's not only a limit, but an algebraic expression (so, I think, the need for limits goes away entirely, superseded by accuracy.)  But then I see something like $\lim_{x\to 2} \frac{x^2-4}{x-2}$.  Now, I think in my mind 'the best way to evaluate this is just to plug in $2$'  But it doesn't work that way, as the limit is $4$, and if I plug in, the answer is $0/0$.  I think that people here, with their natural talent in math, can perceive where my train of thought is going wrong, and correct me.  Please! How do I register a custom URL protocol in Windows?
