$x^2 + x + 41$ is composite
Does this polynomial evaluate to prime number whenever $x$ is a natural number?

I have the following packages installed:   gedit gedit-common gedit-plugins   In Ubuntu 12.04 with these packages installed all that was needed was to activate the terminal plugin and the press Ctrl+F9 to show the bottom panel. This isn't the case with Ubuntu 13.10 (Gedit 3.8.3) and I can't figure out how to do it. What are the areas where graph theory can be applied?  Cause I wonder what applications this have on the real world.  Does it solve certain problems and stuff?  Areas such as communication networks and coding in IT, genomics, computation, and scheduling in operations research How do electromagnetic waves wave? Electromagnetic waves have a physical crest and trough as observed in microwaves and radio waves. I understand that is electromagnetic field vectors that wave, not the photon. But how do they wave? What does causes them to change direction? Is it safe to use oil at its smoking point? Teflon toxicity and second degree burns aside, are there any health issues related to cooking with oil at or past its smoking point? Googling a bit I found one article that went so far as to say you should always "discard oil that's reached its smoke point, along with any food with which it had contact". Other searches showed pages suggesting cancer risks.  I've never given it a thought before and I often use peanut oil at smoking point to brown meat. probability of $k$ boxes contain exactly $1$ ball Ksplice is an amazing software (or whatever it is). It changes the way kernel updates work: Instead of rebooting after an update, it patches memory, so you don't need to do anything.

And that means that it was smaller in the past.. But what's the smallest size we can be sure the universe has ever had?  I just want to know what's the oldest thing we are sure about. Why does .NET use banker's rounding as default? According to the documentation, the  method uses a round-to-even algorithm which is not common for most applications. So I always end up writing a custom function to do the more natural round-half-up algorithm:  public static decimal RoundHalfUp(this decimal d, int decimals) {     if (decimals &lt; 0)     {         throw new ArgumentException("The decimals must be non-negative",              "decimals");     }      decimal multiplier = (decimal)Math.Pow(10, decimals);     decimal number = d * multiplier;      if (decimal.Truncate(number) &lt; number)     {         number += 0.5m;     }     return decimal.Round(number) / multiplier; }   Does anybody know the reason behind this framework design decision?  Is there any built-in implementation of the round-half-up algorithm into the framework? Or maybe some unmanaged Windows API?  It could be misleading for beginners that simply write decimal.Round(2.5m, 0) expecting 3 as a result but getting 2 instead. How to deal with bibliography items containing long URLs?

I am tired of always trying to guess, if I should escape special characters like '()[]{}|' etc. when using many implementations of regexps.  It is different with, for example, Python, sed, grep, awk, Perl, rename, Apache, find and so on. Is there any rule set which tells when I should, and when I should not, escape special characters? Does it depend on the regexp type, like PCRE, POSIX or extended regexps? What are the left and right ideals of matrix ring? How about the two sided ideals?
