When I Try To Render My Image It Comes Out Blank
Render result is completely blank
Repeating determiners: “the X and (the) Y” I have a problem with the use of "the" after "and" where you would basically be connecting words. For example, which of the following is better:     The table and the chairs?   The table and chairs?   Or are both okay? What is the rule, and are there exceptions to it? Or is the rule just contextual and may vary between the sentences and meanings? Short story with space microbes latching onto electromagnetic fields This is a sci-fi story set on Earth. From the depths of space comes these microbes that latch onto electromagnetic fields. Anything electronic is rendered useless. There's the usual stuff where governments try to solve the issue but make it ultimately worse. It's only when they realise that the microbes surround the planet that they realise it is futile. The story closes with people having returned to a simpler life, using medieval farming methods, not using electricity in any form, getting about by horse, etc. I think it was a short story. Is there any easy way to open the document library files in a new window or popup depending on the file types?  e.g. PDF - In Adobe reader (currently opens in IE)  Image file (currently opens in IE) Using the Limit definition to find the derivative of $e^x$ I was wondering how we could use the limit definition   $$ \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$$  to find the derivative of $e^x$, I get to a point where I do not know how to simplify the indeterminate $\frac{0}{0}$. Below is what I have already done  $$\begin{align} &amp;\lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} \\ &amp;\lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^{x+h}-e^x}{h} \\ &amp;\lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^x (e^h-1)}{h} \\ &amp;e^x \cdot \lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^h-1}{h} \end{align}$$  Where can I go from here? Because, the $\lim$ portion reduces to indeterminate when $0$ is subbed into $h$. I'm trying to determine which battery to use for my application. I'll be using a class 1 or class 2 Bluetooth (not low energy) module, which requires about ~50/60mA of RX/TX current. In addition, there is a microcontroller and some low power analog IC's. I require a continuous stream of data from the device for 1-10 minutes.  Are coin cells completely out of the question? I'm talking about CR2450 Lithium-ions. I don't really mind if they don't last long, but will they work? Because in my application, size is key, and battery life is a trade off that I'm willing to make. Dump of my own Stack Exchange content Is there a way to quickly save all my Stack Exchange content across all Stack Exchange sites, as hundreds of HTML pages? (for me probably 15 or 20 sites: SO, dsp.SE, unix.SE, etc.)?  The ideal way would be one .HTML file for each question that I asked / answered / commented? What would be the ideal tool for that?    Remark: I've already read interesting questions like  but it doesn't exactly answer my concern here. Selecting text in profile activity comments causes unexpected clipping Why is the atmosphere transparent in the visible spectrum? One of the great 'coincidences' in physics is that the Sun happens to shine most brightly at exactly the wavelengths our eyes can see; it's an easy explanation that our eyes evolved to make the most out of what was available.  However, this spectral window is also , with Rayleigh scattering and the ozone layer protecting us from the UV and strong water vapour absorption in the IR until way into the radio range.  My question is: is this a coincidence? Were there geological factors that made it so? Or is it just lucky chance? (I also notice other planets in our neighbourhood weren't quite so lucky.) Or had atmospheric absorption been different our eyes would have tuned to whatever spectral window were brighter as a whole? show all my unanswered questions from SE Any way how to get    my all un-answered questions  from across all SE sites? Is Feyerabend confusing discovery and justification when he criticizes the scientific method? I am reading Feyerabend's "Against Method", where he uses Copernicus's (and Galileo's confirmation) discovery of the fact that the Earth orbits around the Sun and other examples to show that irrational approaches can lead to legitimate scientific progress. He then claims that no unified epistemic principle or principles can be used to define science, and that science is best characterized by anarchy.   Is he confusing the way scientific truth is discovered with the way scientific truth is epistemically justified?   Even if it is true that Copernicus, Galileo and others used irrational methods to arrive at valid scientific discoveries, why does that affect science's special epistemic status compared to other fields of inquiry? How to get the Runtime-Type of an Object dynamically (for Primitive Data Types and SObjects) Is it possible to get the Type of an Object (it's not an SObject)?  String s = 'test'; doSomething(s);  public static void doSomething(o Object) {     // need to find out if o is a string or an integer     type = IsThereAMethodToGetTheTypeOf(o) // ?     if(type='String') {         // do something for strings here ....     } else {         // do something else ....     } }   I think the Type class can't help me, because it has no way to get the type of an existing object instance, right? Any there any other way?  Since there is most likely no perfect solution possible within the current platform limitations, I posted an Idea on IdeaExchange here:   For SObject I have already this  public static string getType(SObject obj) {     if(obj==null) return '';     return obj.getSObjectType().getDescribe().getName()+''; } Trying to keep track of the updates to all the great, user-developed add-ons is fairly frustrating (at least for me). Is there currently a centralized resource where all these amazing add-ons are kept and updated in one location?  If there isn't such a resource, would it be possible to have blender query the collection of installed add-ins and then iterate through on-line references looking at version #'s for add-ins?  Since, as far as I know, it hasn't been done...I have to ask if there are any major flaws in the concept. Of course, in my dream scenario, there would be a "voting" front-end that would allow users to see what the most popular and useful add-ons are and where you don't have to read pages (and pages) of threads. I did an upgrade today to the latest version of ubuntu. Everything looked good and fine only for me to discover that I cannot find my applications after clicking the 'Show Applications' icon. The same applies when I search for an application in the search bar, I do not see it. It shows me an endless search.  These are the screenshot images of the problem:      In the meantime, I access my applications from the menu at the top bar and also use the terminal to run applications with CLI. People seem to believe that one's consciousness is a "different" consciousness than that of others, but the "same" consciousness as the one that has been in one's body in the past and the one that will be in one's body in the future. How likely is this to be true and why?   Also, I have almost no knowledge about neuroscience, so please refrain from using neuroscience jargon if feasible. how can I reset a lost administrative password ,considering that Ubuntu and windows7 are both installed on the computer , considering also that "Boot up the machine,and after the BIOS screen, hold down the left Shift key." didn't logged me to any thing, just continue the loading of the system as normal?? Suppose $p$ is a prime number such that $(p-1)/4$ and $(p+1)/2$ are also primes. Show that $p=13$ Suppose $p$ is a prime number such that $(p-1)/4$ and $(p+1)/2$ are also primes. Show that $p=13$.   My approach:   Since $p$ is prime, it is of the form $6k+1$ or $6k-1$. Now if $p$ is of the form $6k-1$ then $(p+1)/2 = 3k$ which is not possible as $3|3k$.   So $p$ is of the form $6k+1$. Now $(p-1)/4 = 3k/2$ so $2\mid k$. So $p$ is of the form $12k+1$. But now, how to prove $k=1$?  Please help! Try Ubuntu - Where does it store my files? I am wondering, when you select the option of just "Try Ubuntu" instead of installing, where does Ubuntu store the files that you download / copy / save?  I right click in the Home folder, and it specified I had 4GB free space. Where did it get this 4GB space from, and if I transition to another OS system, how can I access or delete all the previous data from the session of "Try Ubuntu"?  Thank you!
