Subject-Verb Agreement in "Neither" Comparison (see example)
Which is correct, "neither is" or "neither are"?
Union of uncountable cardinals Baryons have charges that are the result of a polynomial calculation of their building blocks (quarks)'s fractional charges. But what gives these quarks electric charges? What interactions do they have with photons? And what about leptons, like muons and electrons? How do they get their -1 charge? And then, how do positrons and anti-muons get +1 charge? Same goes for quarks: how does up-antiquarks get -2/3 charge? Or I may want to formulate my question this way:  How does any elementary particle interact with the EM-Force to get an electric charge? Viewing computer screen through 3D glasses, why the asymmetry? I have 3D glasses made up of plastic.  First case: When I hold front side of the 3D glasses (by this I mean that side on which light falls) in front of a computer screen, light coming from screen is not blocked, at any angle of rotation. But I see somewhat (slightly) bluish screen when 3D glasses are held horizontally; and yellowish (slightly) screen when glasses are held vertically.  Second case: Now I flip the side of the glasses i.e. "back" side of glasses is in front of screen and "front" side is closer to eyes. In this second case, when glasses are held horizontally, the light is blocked. When glasses are held vertically, light is not blocked; I can see the screen. For intermediate angle, intensity of light varies from minimum to maximum.  Questions:   Why I get slightly colored screens in the first case and why light is not blocked ? Why light is blocked in the second case ?   I know (after reading somewhere) that glasses consists of a pair of circular polarizer and linear polarizer. Circular polarizer in my first case will be near to computer screen and linear polarizer will be near to eyes; and in second case vice versa. I installed Android studio some time ago using the following suggested method:     To set up Android Studio on Linux:      Unpack the downloaded Tar file,   android-studio-ide--linux.zip, into an appropriate location   for your applications. To launch Android Studio, navigate to the   android-studio/bin/ directory in a terminal and execute studio.sh. You   may want to add android-studio/bin/ to your PATH environmental   variable so that you can start Android Studio from any directory.   Follow the links to install the SDK outside of the Android Studio   directories.   For whatever reason it has become corrupt and insists I must un-install and re-install. I can't for the life of me find how to un-install it however.  I didn't use apt-get so I can't do apt-get remove.  Does anyone have any suggestions? Combine two datetime variables into one After installing Ubuntu Studio 12.04, I have found that it uses a low latency kernel.   I searched for an explanation and how to change back it to a real-time or generic one. However, it looks like this part of Linux hasn't been covered to explain the details.   Q: Why choose a low latency kernel over a generic or real-time one?  PS: I have already read the answers from  question and  post. Can binary data be ordinal? Binary data is often mentioned as a nominal sub-category, especially in such examples as female/male, smoker/non-smoker, etc. However, binary data with such values as pass/fail, correct/incorrect, absent/present, etc, seems to give some weight to its values. It's not like in the example of the gender, where both values are equal and differ primarily by the nominal and other context-related traits. Instead, this type of binary data clearly indicates that one value means something and the other means nothing.   In case of such distinction, can binary be considered ordinal? If yes, what are statistical tests that are usually used for such data? Also, are there any interesting books or papers on this case? How to remove wine completely How can I remove the wine folder and all the applications in that folder?  I've tried via synaptic but it keeps showing up in the application menu. Let's say I have Table A: BookingsPerPerson  Person_Id    ArrivalDate    DepartureDate 123456       2012-01-01     2012-01-04 213415       2012-01-02     2012-01-07   What I need to achieve with a view is the following:  Person_Id    ArrivalDate    DepartureDate    Jan-01    Jan-02    Jan-03    Jan-04    Jan-05    Jan-06    Jan-07 123456       2012-01-01     2012-01-04       1         1         1         1 213415       2012-01-02     2012-01-07                 1         1         1         1         1         1   The system is for events, so each hotel booking could take anything between 1 to 15 days but no more than that.

I've been wondering why I've never seen any official specifications of the maximum allowed torque that can be exerted upon lens mounts. It seems to me like a very useful specification, but I can't seem to find it from any manufacturer.  indicates that there might be no specifications for Nikon mounts. Are there really no manufacturer that publish these specification of their mounts? Looking for a (short?) story about a cryo ship looking for habitable planets Determine the number of ways to colour a 1 by n grid using the colours red and white if an even number of squares are to be coloured red. Suppose $\sum a_n$ converges absolutely and $\sum b_n$ converges. Give an example where the Cauchy product does not converge absolutely. Given the following HTML:   &lt;div id="container"&gt;   &lt;!-- Other elements here --&gt;   &lt;div id="copyright"&gt;     Copyright Foo web designs   &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;    I would like #copyright to stick to the bottom of #container. Can I achieve this without using absolute positioning? How to echo output of a top into a text file? I want to write batch or something, that will write output of top into a file on login.  I did top &gt;&gt; output-file, but it contains some strange character!  Can somebody give a simple tutorial about how to write batch file in Linux? Programmatically delete one entry from one field on one entity What's the proper way to programmatically delete one specific field entry for a multi-entry field from one specific entity? (that's specific fields and specific entities, not field types or instances and entity types)  Here's some possibilities I've looked into which don't work:   Loading the entity with entity_load(), setting the field entry to =null or =array(), then saving with field_attach_update(). It's the closest I've found but it leaves a zombie null field entry in the database which shows up as a blank row on forms until the form is saved and hook_field_is_empty() can kick in (hook_field_is_empty() is configured such that =null or =array() will flag as empty). Loading the entity with entity_load(), unsetting the field entry by key, then saving with field_attach_update(). This seems to do nothing - it seems that Drupal interprets the entry not being there as a sign to not modify it. (strangely I also sometimes get maximum query time expiration timeouts when trying this approach) field_attach_delete() - this is much too blunt: it kills all fields for the entity field_purge_data() - better, but still too blunt: it kills all entries of the field, not specific entries   So to clarify, I've got code that finds (and loads) an entity which has a field that has multiple entries, and finds a specific entry on that field that needs to be removed. I want to remove that entry completely, without touching any other entries or any other fields on the entity. Existence in ZF of a set with countable power set Is it consistent with ZF for there to exist a set $S$ such that the power set $P(S)$ is countable? If so, what is the weakest form of the axiom of choice needed to prove that no such set exists? For an affine connection $\nabla$, prove the curvature R  $R(X,Y,Z,\alpha)=\alpha(\nabla_X \nabla_Y Z - \nabla_Y \nabla_X Z -\nabla_{[X,Y]}Z)$  with $X,Y,Z$ vector fields and $\alpha$ a co-vector, is a tensor.  So I realise the aim is probably to show that each of the three terms in the expression for $R$ are tensors themselves as then the result will obviously follow. However, I'm not too sure how to show each of these terms are tensors. Do I need to expand out each covariant derivate to get a bunch of connection coefficients and then see some cancellations? Still though, I'm not too sure what I'll want to see after all of this so that I can say "…therefore $R$ is a tensor".  Also, very much related to the question, I'm a bit confused with the difference between  $\nabla_Y Z$ $\space \space $ and $\space \space $  $\nabla_{\mu}\omega$.  The second one I know as the covariant derivative of a 1-form, but what is meant by the covariant derivate of a vector $\textit{field}$? As in, what's the difference between the $\nabla_Y$ and $\nabla_{\mu}$?  Edit: In answering this last question, I have realised that $\nabla_YZ=Y^{\mu}\nabla_{\mu}Z^{\nu}$ and $\nabla_{\mu}\omega=\nabla_{\mu}\omega_{\nu}$.
