How to ask "If you have any problem then ask me" in polite manner
Dropping articles in the title (of an article or a section) or in the caption (of a figure or a table)? What's the general rule? It is said that "To give added punch, articles are often dropped in the titles"  Source:   Is there any general rule or reference about dropping articles, especially in academic research papers? From this  on Bayesian Least Mean Square estimation:  $$\mathbf E\left[(\Theta -\hat\theta)^2\right] = \rm{var}(\Theta -\hat\theta) + \left(\mathbf E[\Theta -\hat\theta]\right)^2 = \rm{var}(\Theta) + \left(\mathbf E[\Theta -\hat\theta]\right)^2$$  which is to say that $\rm{var}(\Theta -\hat\theta) = \rm{var}(\Theta)$.  I would like to ask how that comes about?  Thanks.  $\Theta$ is the random variable being estimated, and $\hat\theta$ is a constant estimate. I'm using JUnit 4.4 and Maven and I have a large number of long-running integration tests.  When it comes to parallelizing test suites there are a few solutions that allow me to run each test method in a single test-class in parallel. But all of these require that I change the tests in one way or another.  I really think it would be a much cleaner solution to run X different test classes in X threads in parallel. I have hundreds of tests so I don't really care about threading individual test-classes.  Is there any way to do this?

I have a Trane XV90 and XL 14i. The wiring looks a little strange as in the picture bellow.                    _____________                   |           |   BK W2  W1   R  G  Y  B/C  YLO O     |___||   |__|  ||   |          |   |     ||   |_____>|----------|         |   |     ||_________>|other wire|         |   |     |           ------------         V   V     V     ---------------     |thermostat   |     ---------------  The R and G are jumpered together and the G wire is connected on the board  but is actually not connecting to the thermostat on the other end. So people told me that means the furnace fan is always on! (In my diagram above, I switched the location of Y and B/C to make diagram easier to draw. You can refer to the photo added below to see the details) My questions are the following  is the jumper between O and Y doing anything? I don't think I have heat pump I need to install Honeywell wifi thermostat and I am thinking of doing either one of the following:   remove jumper between R and G, and use G to connect B/C and then to thermostat C and put jumper between G and Y  leave jumper between R and G, and use G to connect B/C and then to thermostat C and put jumper between G and Y  remove jumper between R and G, connect G on control board to thermostat G, and finally have the spare wire to connect B/C and then thermostat C  leave jumper between R and G, does not connect G to thermostat,  and just use a spare wire to connect B/C on board to thermostat C   Can anyone comment on those plans? Thanks a lot! My account has been , besides the following restrictions:  an account will be locked at 1 reputation the user page will have a visual indication that the account is in timed suspension, and for how long the account holder will be unable to vote, ask, answer or comment  What else does timed suspension prevent me doing? For example, can I still edit my own posts or delete content? And what is a network-wide suspension? I get this error when trying to use apt-get:  E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/) is another process using it?     How can I fix this? Lower bounds for ${{2n} \choose {n}}$ What are common lower bounds for ${{2n} \choose {n}}$?    Edit:  I made a mistake in my original question.  It doesn't change my question but there is no reason for me to include the mistake. Infinite Series: Fibonacci/ $2^n$ I presented the following problem to some of my students recently (from Senior Mathematical Challenge- edited by Gardiner)  In the Fibonacci sequence $1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55,\ldots$ each term after the first two is the sum of the two previous terms. What is the sum to infinity of the series: $$\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4}+ \frac{2}{8} + \frac{3}{16} + \frac{5}{32} +\frac{8}{64} + \frac{13}{128} +\frac{21}{256} +\frac{34}{512}+ \frac{55}{1024} + \cdots$$  Now, I solved this using an infinite geometric matrix series (incorporating the matrix version of the relation $a_n= \frac{a_{n-1}}{2}+ \frac{a_{n-2}}{4}$), and my students, after much hinting on my part, googled the necessary string to stumble across Binet's formula (which allows one to split the series into two simple, if rather messy, geometrics). Both of these are good methods, but neither really seems plausible for a challenge set for 15-18 year olds under exam conditions. So how is one supposed to do it? Is $\mathbb{R}^\omega$ endowed with the box topology completely normal (or hereditarily normal)? “May I know your good name?” "May I know your good name” is a typically Indian way of honouring another person by asking their name using an adjective like sweet, good, beautiful, et cetera. Of course there won’t ever be any bad or sour name (unless we feel it such) when asking.   If this manner of asking someone’s name is incorrect or inappropriate, then how could I make it sound more polite and amicable without negotiating the basic principles of English?

I know that "The determinant of a matrix represents the area of ​​a rectangle." Perhaps this phrase is imprecise, but I would like to know something more, please.  Thank you very much. How can I install firmware-b43-installer driver if I can't connect to internet by wire? Is “what’s” a correct short form of “what does”? E.g. “What’s he think?”  Usually ’s is short for “is” so I don’t know. I created a presentation using the beamer class with texmaker.

As in,  int my_printf(char *fmt, ...) {     fprintf(stderr, "Calling printf with fmt %s", fmt);     return SOMEHOW_INVOKE_LIBC_PRINTF; }   Forwarding the invocation in the manner above obviously isn't strictly necessary in this case (since you could log invocations in other ways, or use vfprintf), but the codebase I'm working on requires the wrapper to do some actual work, and doesn't have (and can't have added) a helper function akin to vfprintf.  [Update: there seems to be some confusion based on the answers that have been supplied so far. To phrase the question another way: in general, can you wrap some arbitrary variadic function without modifying that function's definition.] I've seen multiple servers where you can connect from any (recent) major version. (Example, 1.9, 1.8 OR 1.7) And they all seem to be able to do it. Alas, a simple google search did not fix the problem. Any ideas? Thanks guys.
