In The Big Bang Theory, is there a term for Sheldon's obliviousness on how his actions are perceived?

Zero-pad digits in string I have an Excel file that has a bunch of VBA and macro code in it.  When I open the file in Excel I can choose not to 'enable' them - so the values in the fields all stay as they were during the last save.  I need to manipulate the values as they were last saved - so I don't want the macros (which look at the current date and update values accordingly) to run.  When I open it via our dot net code:   Dim oxlRep As Excel.Application Dim oWBRep As Excel.Workbook Dim oSheetRep As Excel.Worksheet Dim oRngRep As Excel.Range oxlRep.Open(path)   the vb code runs - throwing off the values.  I've been looking for a way to open it without macros, or in 'secure' mode where the macros aren't run.  If I simply double click the file and don't choose to enable macros the values are all there as I want them.    Usually we run this code within the month that the files are created, so we haven't seen this problem in the 3 or 4 years that it has been working.  Now I need to go back to some of the old files and run some archival code...    Anyone have a suggestion? How can one change a coordinate system for a .lasd (Lidar) dataset?  The file is currently in UTM_Zone_15N and I am trying to convert it to IL_East. Is it supposed to be a HTML or an HTML I've seen many people who say:     This is a HTML page.   Yet I've also seen many people who say:     This is an HTML page.   Are both usages equally correct?  Or, which is the grammatically correct one?       Possible Duplicates: How many "Recommend Close" votes is too many? How do I know if an ability is magical? Often confusion arises when the  spell is used, an  is worn, or the 's anti-magic ray is employed, whether a given character's ability will still function.   The spell does give you some guidelines on how to adjudicate the effects of the loss of magic but says very little about how to determine what is affected.  In short, how do I tell if an ability is magical? Integral $\int\!\sqrt{\cot x}\,dx $ Do you say IN one of the computers or ON one of the computers? Which is right? How do I convert my PhD dissertation so that it can be published as a book? Is the concept of even/odd numbers applicable to decimal numbers? For e.g. - 4.222 is a even number? Find the equation of the plane passing through a point and a vector orthogonal I have come across this question that I need a tip for.     Find the equation (general form) of the plane passing through the point $P(3,1,6)$ that is orthogonal to the vector $v=(1,7,-2)$.   I would be able to do this if it said "parallel to the vector"  I would set the equation up as $(x,y,x) = (3,1,6) + t(1,7,-2)$ and go from there.  I don't get where I can get an orthogonal vector. Normally when I am finding an orthogonal vector I have two other vectors and do the cross product to find it.  I am thinking somehow I have to get three points on the plane, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that.  Any pointers?  thanks in advance. Why does Loki look "sick" when he first arrives on Earth? In the Avengers movie, why is Loki sweating and weak when he first arrives on Earth, in the SHIELD base? Numbers to the Power of Zero I have been a witness to many a discussion about numbers to the power of zero, but I have never really been sold on any claims or explanations.  This is a three part question, the parts are as follows...    1) Why does $n^{0}=1$ when $n\neq 0$?  How does that get defined?  2) What is $0^{0}$?  Is it undefined?  If so, why does it not equal 1?  3) What is the equation that defines exponents?  I can easily write a small program to do it (see below), but what about in equation format?    I just want a little discussion about numbers to the power of zero, for some clarification.    Code for Exponents: (pseudo-code/Ruby)  def int find_exp (int x, int n){     int total = 1;     n.times{total*=x}     return total; } Do I have to recompile my application when I upgrade a third party jar? Mask and inherit the same systemd unit Suppose a package provides whatever.service file so certain events (including whatever.socket) cause a daemon to start with a certain configuration.  I want to disable this completely. In particular, I want the old socket and any other unit files that might refer to this service by name to be unable to start the daemon.  Instead, I want to create my own unit files for this daemon with a different .socket unit and different environment variables. I also want my override to automatically take account of possible upstream updates to the original unit file (which my current solution of copying whatever.service as whatever-modified.service and editing it unfortunately does not provide).  If I create the following symlinks and files: /etc/systemd/system/whatever.service → /dev/null /etc/systemd/system/whatever-modified.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/whatever.service /etc/systemd/system/whatever-modified.service.d/fix.conf  systemd considers the new service to be masked as well and refuses to start it. How to avoid this? What is the origin of non-conservative force? My understanding about  is a force that its work is independent of path such that we can construct another form of the work called potential to make our life easier.  For friction, if I start from microscopic point of view, it should be the macroscopic effect of the electric force or gravity which are both conservative force.  Why do we initially have description by conservative forces (electric/gravity force) but end up with a macroscopic description of nonconservative force(friction)?

When you type vi in the terminal, the following output is shown  ~                             VIM - Vi IMproved                                 ~                                                                              ~                               version 7.3.547                                  ~                           by Bram Moolenaar et al.                             ~           Modified by pkg-vim-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org              ~                 Vim is open source and freely distributable                    ~                                                                                ~                        Help poor children in Uganda!                                                                                So according to this, vi must be launching VIm. But when you type  vim it gives  aditya@aditya-desktop:~$ vim The program 'vim' can be found in the following packages:  * vim  * vim-gnome  * vim-tiny  * vim-athena  * vim-gtk  * vim-nox Try: sudo apt-get install &lt;selected package&gt;   This shows that vim is not installed. Notably man vi and man vim launch the same man pages.  So what does the vi command actually launch? I want to run a script on all files with two specific extensions on a disk with a hierarchy of multiple nested folders.  My script works fine when I choose a folder further down the line with fewer subfolders but I'd like to run it on an entire archive with over a thousand folders.  The AppleScript takes forever to get all the files and then exits without returning anything and without executing the operations after getting the files.  No timeout message, no error message.  And the Finder becomes unresponsive (and remains stuck after the script exits).   set myFolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder:"     tell application "Finder"         try             set eafFiles to (every file in entire contents of myFolder whose name ends with ".eaf") as alias list         on error             try                 set eafFiles to ((every file in entire contents of myFolder whose name ends with ".eaf") as alias) as list             on error                 set eafFiles to {}             end try         end try         try             set pfsxFiles to (every file in entire contents of myFolder whose name ends with ".pfsx") as alias list         on error             try                 set pfsxFiles to ((every file in entire contents of myFolder whose name ends with ".pfsx") as alias) as list             on error                 set pfsxFiles to {}             end try         end try         set myFiles to eafFiles &amp; pfsxFiles     end tell      repeat with CurrentFile in myFiles         set CurrentFile to CurrentFile as string          do shell script "perl /path/to/perl/script.pl " &amp; quoted form of CurrentFile     end repeat How does the "this" keyword work?
