What were the rules for capitalising nouns in the 17th and 18th centuries? It seems to have been common practice in the 17th and 18th centuries in English-language sources to capitalise the first letters of nouns, as in  At which Time he prov'd himself the Noah's Dove, that finding himself no Rest anywhere, was receiv'd again into his own Ark, and brought a peaceable Olive-Leaf in his mouth. —  (1685)  Most original sources I can find on the web have used modern rules for capitalisation, so I have a few questions:  Was the practice used for all nouns (Note mouth isn't capitalised in my quotation above.)? When did this practice begin? When and why did it end? When to use an interface instead of an abstract class and vice versa? This may be a generic OOP question. I wanted to do a generic comparison between an interface and an abstract class on the basis of their usage.   When would one want to use an interface and when would one want to use an abstract class? Denote by $\mathbb{N}$ the set of natural numbers and by $2^{\mathbb N}$ the set of all subsets of $\mathbb N$. Let $E$ be some subset of $2^{\mathbb N}$ such that for  every pair of elements in $E$, one is a subset of the other. Clearly, $E$ could be countable by considering $E=\big\{\{1,\cdots, n\}, n\in\mathbb N\big\}$. My question is the following: could we find an example that $E$ is uncountable? Many thanks for the answer! Symmetric Matrix , Eigenvectors are not orthogonal to the same eigenvalue. I know that the symmetric matrix has orthogonal eigenvectors corresponding eigenvalues. Also, the eigenvectors from the same eigenvalue are linearly independent.  I need an example of symmetric matrix such that the eigenvectors from the same eigenvalue are not orthogonal.  Also, I know that the eigenvalues of the symmetric matrix are real. But , this statement true iff the entries are real numbers.Right? Since the matrix 2x2 $$A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 &amp;i \\  i &amp;1  \end{bmatrix}$$  has non real eigenvalues Bad match with a gaming group, how to leave? I have sometimes joined groups whose play style didn't work for me. At some point it became clear that as much as I wanted to enjoy the game I couldn't. And I was probably undermining the fun at the table for others too.  What is the best way to leave the group? Quietly or with a few explanations? Announce it in person or by email/phone/forum? Is it OK to recruit players from the group for another game? Blender 2.78 file size grows and does never shrink I made a huge project, wanted to reduce file size from 1.3GB to below 1GB. Compressing did not help. I removed objects from scene. Also textures. I then realized, the file size even was the same when I delete ALL objects. Why?  Download of sample:   Before deleting all: 1.2GB, after: 1.1GB. Merge two PDF files containing even and odd pages of a book I have two searchable PDF  documents, say even.pdf and odd.pdf which contain even and odd pages of a book, respectively.   I can decompile each PDF to separate files 001.pdf 002.pdf 003.pdf, et cetera. The question is how to merge them?  They are both even and odd sequences numbered 1, 2, 3. If the numbering in the decompile process with pdftk were different, e.g. 1, 3, 5 for even and 2, 4, 6 for odd instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, I could simply merge them.  Can I do this any other way? I am trying to create a low poly face with a face from a .png file. The issue is I already have material placed for hair and skin, as shown in the picture below.   I have created a .png file with a face which I would like to overlay over the skin material on the front of the head.    All examples I searched so far assume I also want the color of the material from the .png texture.  Update:  I added UVMapping, changed view to texture, made sure one face is on the eye but nothing is displayed..... see image... I don't know what is going on. How is pressure an intensive coordinate? He called her, emailed her, texted her, tweeted her—all to no use.   Strictly speaking, I would need to write texted her and tweeted her, but I'm omitting and to convey a rhythm and sense of urgency. What do you call this kind of construction, and is it accepted grammar (at least for creative writing, if not in an academic context)? Zorn's Lemma states that if every chain $C$ in a partially ordered set $X$ has an upper bound then there is at least one maximal element in $X$.  Let $n\in \mathbb{N}$, $C_n \subset \mathbb{N}$ be the set containing the natural numbers $\{1,\dots,n\}$. Then if $k\le n$, $C_k\subset C_n$, so $C_n$ is a chain. Also, $C_n$ has an upper bound, such as $n+1$. But what is the maximal element of $\mathbb{N}$?  There's something I don't get in Zorn's Lemma statement. Why don't C++ compilers define operator== and operator!=? How to break out of multiple loops? Given the following code (that doesn't work):  while True:     #snip: print out current state     while True:         ok = get_input("Is this ok? (y/n)")         if ok.lower() == "y": break 2 #this doesn't work :(         if ok.lower() == "n": break     #do more processing with menus and stuff   Is there a way to make this work? Or do I have do one check to break out of the input loop, then another, more limited, check in the outside loop to break out all together if the user is satisfied? I would like to close some view windows that I opened accidentally.  See the image below:    Edit: another note: I tried searching for the solution, but only found things like "Join Area", which don't seem to work in this situation. How to "freeze" a cloth animation at X frame? How would one freeze a simulated body at frame X and use it as a static mesh?  Following a , I've been able to do a cloth animation to my model, now I'd like to have that made static, without the use of the timeline.   The thing is, I'm modelling something that's not going to be an animation, but a static object (something like a statue/figurine). So I don't need the animation, only the shape at a particular frame that I find convenient. I'd like eventually once this is done, to also modify that deformed grid.   I've tried to follow what was said , but couldn't figure out what chipmasque was saying. I'm quite new to blender (been using it on and off, just enough to forget everything).  I'm using blender 2.63, if it is of any relevance. Can you give us some way to access pending Reviews for a post from the post itself?  I think this would also help improve the accuracy and quality of reviews done, as users that come across the post naturally are more likely to be better qualified to evaluate the post, and are already taking the time to understand the post's content anyways.  In most cases, these users will be able to provide better reviews than those who are  [often quickly] going through the Review Queues.  In addition, I think it would help get more reviews done, as someone viewing a post through normal site usage would be more likely to take an interest in helping maintain that post. I know I definitely would be more active with this instead of having to go through the massive Review Queue. The task of helping fix one question that I am currently reading is far more do-able than cleaning up a large queue of questions that is largely full of content I don't care about.  I'm thinking of something like a reviews(1) link that is accessible from the post itself that appears based on your rep, or perhaps even on your rep within the post's tags. What is the difference between Python's list methods append and extend? How do you empty the buffers and cache on a Linux system? Remove space before punctuation I need to remove locally spaces arround (especially before) punctuation signs.

Should I upgrade my body or lens first? I have an entry-level Nikon DSLR, and I cant decide if I should upgrade my camera body or upgrade from a  AF-S DX Nikkor 18-200mm to whatever else might be recommended?
