I'm looking for the possessive of 'boss'
What is the correct possessive for nouns ending in "‑s"?
Forgive me for the unclear title. Some time ago, my HTC M8, which is rooted and runs on a  showed something weird. Firstly, in the Google Maps App a mysterious blue dot appeared, that captures the screen completely and makes it impossible to quit or use the application. It looks like this (I could make a screenshot)     When this happens in Maps, the only thing I can do is a hard restart with Power+Volume Up.  Since I have seen this occasionally in the camera app as well, I suspect it is not a bug of Maps itself. I know that the Venom ROM is not standard but maybe this is connected to some setting and anyone has seen this. Btw, the Venom ran smoothly for almost 3 years now.  Question: Has someone a clue what this could be and how I can get rid of it? Can you Start Skyrim 'silent' without the launcher showing up? Suppress Fancy header and footer on first page only. A theorem about Cesàro mean, related to Stolz-Cesàro theorem Original Title: Tauberian theorems and Cesàro sum  Theorem (Landau-Hardy, From Rudin's Principle of Mathematical Analysis Exercise 3.14)  $\newcommand\abs[1]{\left\lvert#1\right\rvert}$ If $\{s_n\}$ is a complex sequence, define its arithmetic means $\sigma_n$ by $$\sigma_n=\frac{s_0+s_1+\dotsb+s_n}{n+1}\qquad(n=0,1,2,\dotsc)$$ Put $a_n=s_n-s_{n-1}$ for $n\ge1$. Assume $M&lt;+\infty$ and $\abs{na_n}\le M$ for all $n$, and $\lim_{n\to\infty}\sigma_n=\sigma$, then $\lim_{n\to\infty}s_n=\sigma$.  The outline of the proof  If $m&lt;n$, then $$s_n-\sigma_n=\frac{m+1}{n-m}(\sigma_n-\sigma_m)+\frac1{n-m}\sum_{k=m+1}^n(s_n-s_k)\tag{*}$$ Notice that $\abs{s_n-s_k}\le(n-m-1)M\,/\,(m+2)$, fix $\epsilon&gt;0$ and associate with each $n$ the integer $m$ that satisfies $$m\le\frac{n-\epsilon}{1+\epsilon}&lt;m+1$$ Then $(m+1)\,/\,(n-m)\le1/\epsilon$ and $\abs{s_n-s_k}&lt;M\epsilon$. Hence $$\limsup_{n\to\infty}\,\abs{s_n-\sigma}\le M\epsilon$$  Questions and thoughts  It seems that the equation (*) comes out strangely. I wonder how to discover such kind of strange identities. So is there any observation, even deeper, to look through that equation?  Thanks! I've been studying the Huddleston and Pullum book for four months now. So far only one thing confuses me: the identity of gerund. Is it a noun or a verb?        His constant smoking upset me.  smoking seems  noun because of adjective constant.   Him/His constantly smoking upset me. smoking seems to be verb because of adverb constantly.   Him/His smoking cigars upset me. smoking seems to be a verb because of object cigars.      "His smoking upset me." So is this smoking gerund a noun or verb? Because there is no differentiation, is it both verb and noun? Maybe it's new word category?  Also his seems to be both  sometimes a subject and at other times a possessive determiner. Is that correct? Do MOSFETs have a diode built into them? I have noticed that a MOSFET symbol has a little diode in it (or at least what looks like a diode). Does this mean I do not have to worry about using a diode in a circuit that runs a motor using one? I would have used a diode in order to prevent reverse voltage from turning the motor by hand. Expected value of a non-negative random variable I would like to redirect a URL with uppercase characters http://localhost/A/B to a lowercase version http://localhost/a/b using the .htaccess file. Using regex I can capture A and B but is it possible to convert them to lowercase? Convert NSDate to NSString I want to generate sprite-sheets for an isometric projection of various 3d assets purchased from the Unity3D asset store. I'd preferably also render the normal maps. I am a programmer, but new to 3D modeling software (Blender, etc.)  I found two tools for this;  and , but neither supports enough formats to be worth their cost.  There must be an efficient way of isometrically rendering various animations of a 3d assets in Blender&mdash;but I don't know how. How can I do this? I sometimes have long running processes that I want to kick off before going home, so I create a SSH session to the server to start the process, but then I want to close my laptop and go home and later, after dinner, I want to check on the process that I started before leaving work. How can I do that with SSH? My understanding is that if you break your SSH connection you will also break your login session on the server, therefore killing the long running process.

As the question states, what are the most commonly used tools used for this task and what are their strengths and weaknesses? Why won't my villagers breed Proof of $\pi$ not being a quadratic irrational number. Does someone know a proof (books, articles) that $\pi$ is not a quadratic irrational?   The proof should not use that $\pi$ is transcendental.  Any hints would be appreciated. Bending of light - photon's inertia instead of mass More often that I like to admit I look for a file that contains some strings.  Currently I do:  grep -rl string1 | xargs grep -l string2 | xargs grep -l string3   Is there a tool that does this prettier?  This greps for string1 or string2 or string3.   grep -rl -e string1 -e string2 -e string3   I want files that contain string1 and string2 and string3 but not necessarily on the same line.  Maybe one of the modern greps (ag/ack/rg/sift) can do this? Conditional formatting of an entire row based on multiple cells I'm trying to make a conditional formatting rule in Google Spreadsheet that would highlight a row green based on text in multiple cells.   If cells L2, M2, and N2 = APPROVED; and cell O2 = X; then row 2 = highlighted green. Labeling Multiple Equations Per Row of a Table Why does the product topology allow proper subsets for only finitely many elements? Does the limit $\lim _{x\to 0} \frac 1x \int_0^x \left|\cos \frac 1t \right| dt$ exists ? If it does then what is the value ?   I don't think even L'Hospital's rule can be applied . Please help .
