How t show $f=g$ almost everywhere Microsoft Edge missing in Start menu and pins Expand a random range from 1–5 to 1–7 Given a function which produces a random integer in the range 1 to 5, write a function which produces a random integer in the range 1 to 7.   What is a simple solution? What is an effective solution to reduce memory usage or run on a slower CPU? Why are there only derivatives to the first order in the Lagrangian? Why is the Lagrangian a function of the position and velocity (possibly also of time) and why are dependences on higher order derivatives (acceleration, jerk,...) excluded?  Is there a good reason for this or is it simply "because it works". I am considering buying a Dell XPS 15 laptop. The laptop has a Nvidia 420m card which should work with Linux but I keep reading that the Nvidia Optimus technology isn't supported on Linux. I am not really interested in switching from Nvidia to Intel to save power but need to know that the Nvidia card will in fact work if I installed Ubuntu.  If anyone has experience using a Nvidia card with Optimus technology or even better the exact laptop in question (Dell XPS 15 with 1GB NVIDIA® GeForce®  GT 420M) it would be great.  A major problem holding people back from adopting Linux is this sort of hardware issue. I am a long term Ubuntu user and supporter who can't afford to make a mistake with a purchase like this. I don't want to spend £500+ to find I have no graphics acceleration because Windows 7 is not an option. Calculate distance between 2 GPS coordinates How do I calculate distance between two GPS coordinates (using latitude and longitude)? As human beings, we observe the world in which we live in three dimensions. However, it is certainly theoretically possible that more dimensions exist.  Is there any direct or indirect evidence supporting a fourth dimension? Maximal ideals of polynomial rings in infinitely many variables Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field. Nullstellensatz states that the maximal ideals of the polynomial ring $R=k[X_1,\dots,X_n]$ are precisely those of the form $\langle X_1-a_1,\dots,X_n-a_n\rangle$, with $(a_1,\dots,a_n)\in k^n$.     What if we are working with infinitely many variables, say $\{X_i\}_{i\in I}$, being $I$ an infinite set? Again, the ideals of the form $\bigl\langle\{X_i-a_i: i\in I\}\bigr\rangle$, with $(a_i)_{i\in I}\subseteq k$ are maximal (even if $k$ is not algebraically closed), but what about the converse? What are the grammatical rules determining whether to use which or what?  I usually go by intuition. It's "What car are you looking at?" and "What bicycle do you like most?" but "Which song did you sing?" Quite often, I don't know whether to use what or which.  How can I tell? Where is the icon used in this dialogue box? Where on my disk can I find the icon used in this dialogue box in OS X？    It may be Security.icns in OS X 10.7.3    I cannot find it in:   /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes/Contents/Resources There are only LockedIcon.icns and UnlockedIcon.icns in this folder who looks like the icon in the dialogue box,the size of the icon in the dialogue box is 128x128px, but LockedIcon.icns and UnlockedIcon.icns is 32x32px.   lockedIcon.icns    So they are not the same icon.   /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/ /System/Library/CoreServices/Problem Reporter.app/Contents/Resources /Applications/System Preferences.app/Contents/Resources /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access.app/Contents/Resources /System/Library/CoreServices/Certificate Assistant.app/Contents/Resources/ Multiple Inheritance in C# I see ads to other SE sites regularly on the sidebar of SO. Are these questions chosen by hand, or algorithmically? The reason I ask is that there was an ad pointing to  on Seasoned Advice. I'm all for a good laugh I suppose, but is this the kind of question that should be highlighted?  It's obviously a thriving community, but if this were my first exposure to that community, and I saw that the highest-rated answer -- from the user with the highest reputation -- was (and I paraphrase only lightly):  &quot;Why yes, there is tool that can cut cherry tomatoes in half.  It's fantastic for the job.  It's called a freakin' KNIFE!&quot;  would I ever want to visit again, let alone ask a question over there? First impressions count for a lot, and that one missed the mark IMHO. If the selection method is algorithmic, I suppose there's no reliable way to detect sarcasm in a highly-rated answer, but if it's manual, weeeellllllllll ... :) Ring of $\mathbb{Z}_2$-valued functions Let $R =\{f:\{1,2,3,4,\cdots ,10\}\to \mathbb{Z}_2 \}$ be the set of  all $\mathbb{Z}_2$ -valued functions on the set $\{1,2,3......10\}$  of the first ten positive integer. Then $R$ is a commutative ring with point-wise addition and multiplication of functions. Which of the following is true?     1) $R$ has a unique maximal ideal.      2) Every prime ideal of $R$ is also maximal.      3 ) The number of proper ideals of $R$ is $511$.      4 ) Every element of $R$ is idempotent.   R is finite commutative ring so  every prime ideal  is maximlal ideal ,so I think option  2 is true   .But for the other options   I am  helpless  . What are all the font styles I can use in math mode? How does the linux kernel know device major and minor numbers? As far as I know, the kernel detects hardware, adds information to sysfs creates a device in /dev and then generates a udev event. My question is, do device drivers do all of this or it is the kernel itself? If drivers do it, then they would know the device major and minor number to create the file in devtmps.   I also understand (maybe wrongly) that it is udev who calls modprobe to load the drivers that handle a device.   I was told that they do so with the contents of the MODALIAS uevent environment variable, thus loading all modules whose aliases match this string (the correct driver). In short: what are the steps of hardware detection in linux and WHO performs each step: the kernel itself, the driver inside the kernel or udev in userspace. Thanks. Can I enter Croatia with single entry visa Schengen? What is the best practice to make division return double in C# In c# when you want to divide the result of a method such as below, what is the best way to force it to return a double value rather than the default integer.   (int)Math.Ceiling((double)(System.DateTime.DaysInMonth(2009, 1) / 7));   As you can see I need the division to return a double so I can use the ceiling function. How can I find the unit vector of a three dimensional vector? For example, I have a problem that I am working on that tells me that I have a vector $\hat{r}$ that is a unit vector, and I am told to prove this fact:     $\hat{r} = \frac{2}{3}\hat{i} - \frac{1}{3}\hat{j} - \frac{2}{3}\hat{k}$   I know that with a two-dimension unit vector that you can split it up into components, treat it as a right-triangle, and find the hypotenuse. Following that idea, I tried something like this, where I found the magnitude of the vectors $\hat{i}$ and $\hat{j}$, then using that vector, found the magnitude between ${\hat{v}}_{ij}$ and $\hat{k}$:     $\left|\hat{r}\right| = \sqrt{\sqrt{{\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)}^{2} + {\left(\frac{-1}{3}\right)}^{2}} + {\left(\frac{-2}{3}\right)}^{2}}$   However, this does not prove that I was working with a unit vector, as the answer did not evaluate to one. How can I find the unit vector of a three-dimensional vector?  Thank you for your time. Cannot redeem bounty I have about 25K of bounty vouchers but I cannot seem to redeem them.

Bounty: 25,380 CR BOUNTY IN INDEPENDENT ERAVATE FREE  STATION: CLEVE HUB / INDEPENDENT ERAVATE NETWORK   If I am in the wrong station how do I find the information needed to travel to the correct station. Where can i see the faction running the station prior to flying there? I came across the phrase, “suck it up and go” in the columnist’s answer to a question from a reader of Carolyn Hax's column in Washington Post’s “Lifestyle” section (July 2nd).  The Q&amp;A titled “Ever the aunt, never the godmom” begins with the following sentence:     “Dear Carolyn: We just got an invitation to the baptism of my seventh nephew on my husband’s side. Once again we were not considered as godparents. I felt snubbed. -- Is this a legitimate snub? Should I talk to my sister-in-law about it?”    and Carolyn answers:     “Boycotting the baptism in a wounded huff would be petty, yes, and that’s the main reason to suck it up and go - but you also need to go because nothing would undermine your own purpose more tidily than staying home.”   I checked the meaning of “suck it up and go” in English Japanese dictionaries at hand only to find one of them shows “suck it and see” meaning “to try” as a British and  Australian usage. Online dictionaries register “suck it (up) and “go suck,” but not “suck it up and go.”   What does “suck it up and go” mean? Is it an American version of “suck it and see”?
