How can I make a bigger dent in close vote reviews?
Huge close votes review queue on Stack Overflow
How to log out of a Stack Exchange site? Per the title, where is the logout button?  All the existing questions I can find refer to the previous design of the site, where hovering over your name in the top bar brought up a menu. POSTFIX main.cf permission denied On , the accepted answer doesn't float on top. Apart from that, the display is correct (i.e. the V mark and the green border)  If I sort by "vote", I've got the following answer order:   Jezell Marc Gravell chilltemp (Accepted) Shaun Bowe   By "oldest":   Marc Gravell Jezell chilltemp (Accepted) Shaun Bowe   and by "newest":   Shaun Bowe chilltemp (Accepted) Jezell Marc Gravell     I'm using Firefox V.3.5 : Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)  Feel free to ask for more debug information if needed. Often I have a question, in a specific area (say Math SE or English SE) that is appropriate for the child meta of that site.   Then I realize it is not particular to the meta for that site but for Meta for all sites (like this question itself; I wanted a link to Meta Stack Exchange from meta.english, but realized no meta sites had such a link).  Wouldn't it be nice to have a link in all meta sites to Meta? What is the geometric meaning of the determinant of a matrix? I know that "The determinant of a matrix represents the area of ​​a rectangle." Perhaps this phrase is imprecise, but I would like to know something more, please.  Thank you very much. using a:hover to change the color of an image I have the following recurrence that I've been pounding on:  $$ a(0)=1\\ a(1)=1\\ a(2)=2\\ a(2n)=a(n)+a(n+1)+n\ \ \ (\forall n&gt;1)\\ a(2n+1)=a(n)+a(n-1)+1\ \ \ (\forall n\ge 1) $$  I don't have much background in solving these things, so I've been googling around looking for different techniques. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to correctly apply them yet. So far I've tried:   Characteristic equations Generating functions Plugging it into Wolfram Alpha Telescoping Observation   I'm sure that one or more of these is the way to go, but my biggest problem right now is figuring out how to deal with the idea that there are different equations for odd and even values of $n$. I'm not necessarily looking for a solution (though it would be gratefully accepted), but any nudges in the right direction would be much appreciated.    To follow up, it turned out that the speed problem described in my comment, below was related to the Decimal implementation in Python 2.7. Switching to Python 3.3 (and Java) made everything many orders of magnitude better. The cast to value type 'Int32' failed because the materialized value is null Video editing software options? Cannot get grub menu to timeout (or go away) I am running Ubuntu 12.04.  I cannot for the life of me get the grub menu (with options) to go away.  I would like it to auto-boot into the first option. I've edited /etc/default/grub so that it looks like the following:  GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2&gt; /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""   After this, I ran sudo update-grub. Then I realized that I had grub 2, so I ran sudo update-grub2 (both make it look like they create the grub.cfg file successfully.  I restart my computer and it goes back to the grub menu and just sits there until I make a choice. This is not desirable if the power goes out... :-)  I also tried reinstalling grub using sudo grub-install /dev/sda - also unsuccessful I have used the websites of SO a lot the past few months because I am busy with a large scale web project. I feel I get better answers here on SO than when I just do a Google search, maybe because I can be more specific here with my problem, and the responses are really fast.  Occasionally when I am not working I try to answer some questions, but the question almost always has an answer which is 'as good as' or 'better' than the answer I would supply.  So my question/answer ratio is about 20/1 something, if not more. When I look at my profile page I see a bucket-load of questions and almost nothing I answered myself.  Is this considered bad behaviour? I can see that this looks a little egoistic.  : One devoted to one's own interests and advancement. The Monty Hall Problem - where does our intuition fail us? Is it possible to open directories as administrator? I want to have a root privileges on some directories. How can I do this? Arranging GUI elements in QGIS 3 processing model user interface Using QGIS 3 graphical modeler I created a model with a variety of input parameters (> 10). When starting the model, a nice user interface is generated. But the arrangement of the GUI elements is totally confused and apparently unpredictable during creating the model. It does neither seem to depend on the arrangement of input parameters in the graphical modeler nor on the chronological order in which the input parameters are added to the model.   Is there a way that let's me arrange the GUI elements in the order I desire? "Images with street signs" CAPTCHA impossible to solve First we are told that the Galactic Empire/Federation/Powers-that-be have kept the Earth locked up for being too warlike, but now their help is needed against invaders from another galaxy.  When the aliens land the first thing they meet is a talking bunny.      at the end when humans have accepted to join the fight the alien offers to send ships to transport them. The human leader tells that there is no need...  and the Earth accelerates away.   I must have read this sometime in the mid eighties, so no later than 84 or 85, but the story may be from the sixties or before. We know that the "Harmonic Series" $$ \sum \frac{1}{n}$$ diverges. And for $p >1$ we have the result that the series converges $$\sum \frac{1}{n^{p}}$$ converges.   One can then ask the question of testing the convergence the following 2 Series:  $$\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{k + \cos{n}}}, \quad \sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{k + \sin{n}}}$$ where $ k \in (0,2)$.  Only thing which i have as tool for this problem is the inequality $| \sin{n} | \leq 1$, which i am not sure whether would applicable or not. Evaluating $\lim\limits_{x\to \infty}\sqrt[6]{x^{6}+x^{5}}-\sqrt[6]{x^{6}-x^{5}}$ How would you evaluate the following limit:   $$\lim_{x\to \infty}\sqrt[6]{x^{6}+x^{5}}-\sqrt[6]{x^{6}-x^{5}}$$   I tried to use this formula: $a^{3}-b^{3}=(a-b)(a^{2}+ab+b^{2})$,  It didn't work.  Any hints? Word for romantic partner you are living with but not married to I have some plasterboard screws like this:     However, without a drill I have a job getting them into the wall. Am I safe to use normal screws on hangings that aren't going to be taking a great deal of weight? In this case it is a rack of coat hooks.
