Error: Account is Not Allowed To Suggest Edits I get this message while trying to edit a post on SuperUser while using the iOS mobile app. I have at least 101 reputation on SU, more than enough to be able to edit posts. This appears to be a bug. Which Jedi have served in the Rebellion? Besides Luke Skywalker, Kanan Jarrus, Ezra Bridger and Ahsoka Tano, which other Jedi, regardless of whether they were survivors of Order 66 or became one at a later point, served within the Rebellion's ranks during the Galactic Civil War?  Looking for both canon and Legends versions.  Edit: ok, just to clarify what would qualify as a Jedi for the answer. Loosely speaking, anyone who follow the ideals of the Jedi philosophy - a practitioner in the ways of the Force, a protector of the galaxy, and an opposer to the dark side - would count.   Only trained Force users, not aligned with the dark side, would count. They need to be able to consciously control their use of the Force to aid the Rebellion. This excludes Leia Members of the Jedi Order of the late Republic would obviously count. However, they need to have survived Order 66 (duh), did not renounce the Jedi ways nor succumbed to the dark side, and become a member of the Rebellion. This excludes the Grand Inquisitor nor Darth Vader, but includes Kanan Jarrus and, in Legends, Rahm Kota. Those who are killed in action after joining the Rebellion also count. However, you don't need to be an official member of the order to be counted. You could be opposed to what was wrong with the late order, but as long as you follow the ideals defined above, and identify with them, you are a Jedi at heart by the count of this question. This counts Ahsoka Tano, Luke Skywalker and Ezra Bridger among its number. They aren't in the old Jedi Order's roster, but they believe in what the Jedi are meant to be, and follow its ways in that regard. Galen Marek in Legends, when he genuinely turned to the ways of the light, even though he was still a user of dark side powers, would be one. It's the thought that counts.   So loosely speaking, that means members of the Rebellion who are trained Force sensitives and genuine good guys. Can I pass arguments to an alias command? I want to know if I can pass an argument with an alias command.  for example:  alias d="dmesg|grep -iw usb|tail -5"    Now d will print the last 5 lines. If I want to use d to print a different number of lines, I have to make change in the alias command declaration of d again.  Is there any way I can modify the declaration of an alias so that I don't have to retype the declaration to change the number of lines. Like incorporating passing the number of lines as an argument while declaring alias for d? Or is there some other method to solve this? W and Z bosons are observed/discovered. But as force carrying bosons they should be virtual particles, unobservable? And also they require to have mass, but if they are virtual they may be off-shell, so are they virtual or not. Low output volume How distorted does the Andromeda Galaxy appear to us due to the speed of light? The Andromeda Galaxy appears to us at an angle to the galactic disk, i.e. we are not in the Andromeda Galaxy disc's plane, nor are we near the direction that the galaxy's pole points. Therefore, due to the geometry and distances involved, it would seem to me that we are seeing the 'far edge' a few thousand years later than we are seeing the 'near edge'. How far can a galaxy spin during that those few thousand years, and therefore how distorted are we seeing Andromeda? Can we infer how Andromeda or other large spiral galaxies seen at an angle would look if light were to travel instantly?  Might this phenomenon account for some of the unusual spin properties measured in galaxies, which is attributed to dark matter? Shouldn't this be a pretty straightforward operation? However, I see there's neither a size() nor length() method. What areas of physics depend on the sum $1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6+ 7+\ldots= -1/12$? This youtube video from Numberphile,   shows how the value is derived. In the video, one interviewee claims that "this result is used in many areas of physics". In the video, only string theory is mentioned.  Which areas of physics use or depend on the sum $$1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6+ 7+\ldots= -1/12?$$ Proof that the Earth rotates? What is the proof, without leaving the Earth, and involving only basic physics, that the earth rotates around its axis?  By basic physics I mean the physics that the early physicists must've used to deduce that it rotates, not relativity. New to Macbook Pro, need help upgrading I was recently gifted an old Mid 2010 Macbook Pro with the following specs listed here:    I would like to do a few things to it, but I have never owned an apple computer before and I know there are some restrictions on the hardware i can purchase to upgrade it.  These are the things I want to do  1) Upgrade Ram: Currently it has 2x2GB of RAM in it. This model is rated for up to 8GB but I have been reading online and it seems some people have been able to successfully install 16GB of RAM, so i am confused. Does anyone have a definitive statement on whether or not this Macbook Pro will work with 16GB of RAM? If it does accept 16GB total which RAM should i buy for a Macbook Pro like this? If it only accepts 8GB total which RAM should i buy? And I know the clock speed must be 1066Hz for this Macbook Pro, but can i use DDR3, or DDR4 RAM? Does the DDR type matter?  2) Install Secondary Hard Drive: I am not 100% so i need someone to inform me but i believe there is space in this Macbook Pro for a second hard drive. Does the CD Drive need to be removed in order for a second Hard Drive to be put in? Or is there simply space inside it for a second hard drive but not installed by Apple? Either way I would like to install an SSD into it and install the Operating System onto that SSD. Which SSD can i look to buy that is compatible with this  Pro?  3) Fresh install of Mac OSX: As it currently stands my friend who gave this laptop to me didn't erase his data. I am uncomfortable with this and want a fresh start. How do I do a fresh install of Mac OSX Mavericks (or should i wait for Yosemite?). Where can i buy a Disk/USB for it (or make a disk/USB for it) to do a clean install and how do i format a Macbook Pros hard drive and install fresh? Should this be done at an apple store?  4) Higher Screen Resolution: This is my lowest priority and I don't think it is possible to do without major invasive changes to the Macbook Pro but i want to know if it is possible. Currently the Max Resolution on the Device is 1440x900, i would like to know if it is possible to replace the LCD with one that is 1920x1080 for high resolution. How are Anonymous inner classes used in Java? What is the use of anonymous classes in Java? Can we say that usage of anonymous class is one of the advantages of Java? Want to copy the file name quickly in Windows. I always use rename, copy , but feel it is quite slow. Any better way? How do I tell if a regular file does not exist in Bash? Math contest integer triplet problem: $x + y + z + xy + yz + xz = xyz − 1$ Can any one help me with this?  Determine all integer triples $(x,y,z)$ such that $1 ≤ x ≤ y ≤ z$ and $x + y + z + xy + yz + xz = xyz − 1$.  I thought of Vieta's formula but don't let me lead you into a dead end. What keeps mass from turning into energy? I understand the energy and mass can change back and forth according to Einstein. It is fluid; it can go from one to the other. So, what keeps mass from just turning into energy? Is there some force holding a subatomic particle together? What keeps mass in it's state? I hope this is not a silly question but I am clueless. Thanks state that "at best" is an idiom. But, what is the grammatical function of "at best" (for example, in the below sentences?)        Their response to the proposal was, at best, cool.   The government's response seems to have been at best confused and at   worst dishonest.   If he drops the course now, at best he’ll get an incomplete, and he could fail.      Thanks The plural of "person" is "people".  The plural of "people" is "peoples". Person-people-peoples is the only sequence like this that I know of, but I'm looking for another.  (The equivalent question is, is there another plural noun which has become a singular countable collective noun?)  EDIT  For those of you that think that people is nothing but a collective noun (and not an irregular plural, like mice), I urge you to consider:   Do you treat other collective nouns as plurals?  One person, two people, but one star, two galaxy? Do you treat other plurals as collective nouns?  You can certainly say "a galaxy of stars" but do you say "a mice of mouses"?    For those of you that think the customary plural of person is persons, try it on the next three, uh, persons you see: "Finish this sentence: 'one person, two _ ?' " Unsized array declaration in a struct I am following the first volume of the course of theoretical physics by Landau. So, whatever I say below mainly talks regarding the first 2 chapters of Landau and the approach of deriving Newton's laws from Lagrangian principle supposing Hamilton's principle of extremum action. Please keep this view in mind while reading and answering my queries and kindly neglect the systems to which Action Principle is not applicable:  If we use homogeneity of space in Euler-Lagrange equations, we obtain a remarkable result i.e. the conservation of momentum for a closed system.  Now, this result, using the form of Lagrange for a closed system of particles, transforms into $ \Sigma F = 0 $ . Now, how from this can we conclude that the internal forces that particles exert come in equal and opposite pairs?  Is it because for 2 particles this comes out as $ F_{1} + F_{2} = 0 $ and we take the forces exerted by particles on one other to be independent of other particles (i.e. Superposition Principle) as an experimental fact?  I doubt it as whole of Newtonian Mechanics is derivable from Lagrangian Mechanics and supposed Symmetries. So, according to me, a fact like Newton's Third Law should be derivable from it without using an additional experimental fact.  I have an idea to prove it rigorously. Consider two particles $i$ and $j$. Let the force on $i$ by $j$ be $F_{ij}$ and on $j$ by $i$ be $k_{ij}F_{ij}$. Now the condition becomes $\Sigma (1+k_{ij})F_{ij}=0$ where the terms to be included and rejected in summation understood. As this must be true for any value of $F_{ij}$, we get $k_{ij}=-1$. I don't know if this argument or refinement of such an argument holds or not. I can see many questions arising in this argument and it's not very convincing to me.  I would like to hear from you people as to if it is an experimental result used or not? If not, then is the method given above right or wrong? If wrong, how can we prove it?  Addendum  My method of proof uses the fact of superposition of forces itself, so it is flawed. I have assumed that the coefficients $k_{ij}$ are constants and don't change in the influence of all other particles which is exactly what superposition principle says.  As the superposition of Forces can be derived by superposition of potential energies at a point in space and potential energy being more fundamental in Lagrangian Mechanics, I restate my question as follows:  Is the principle of superposition of potential energies by different sources at a point in space derivable from the inside of Lagrangian Mechanics or is it an experimental fact used in Lagrangian Mechanics?  I, now, doubt this to be derivable as the fundamental assumption about potential energy is only that it is a function of coordinates of particles and this function may or may not respect superposition. Yes,  but there must be a canonical or most efficient or most concise way. I'll add answers I know of and see what percolates to the top.  To be clear, the question is how best to read the contents of a file into a string. One solution per answer.
