JAAS: How to load config file?
Why am I getting a NoClassDefFoundError in Java?
$x^p-c$ has no root in a field $F$ if and only if $x^p-c$ is irreducible? Hungerford's book of algebra has exercise $6$ chapter $3$ section $6$ [Probably impossible with the tools at hand.]:     Let $p \in \mathbb{Z}$ be a prime; let $F$ be a field  and let $c \in  F$. Then $x^p - c$ is irreducible in $F[x]$ if and only if $x^p - c$   has no root  in $F$. [Hint: consider two cases: char$(F) = p$ and   char$(F)$ different of $p$.]   I have attempted this a lot. Anyone has an answer? Showing that every field is an integral domain. Why do some badges appear white in color and others are dark? I have attached an image as an example below. I want to twist a rectangle. Do I have to convert that rectangle into a curve or into mesh and then twist it with ctrl+T?   Please explain with an example.

Good math books for physicists In his first lesson (transcripted in "Tips on Physics"), Feynman talks about math for physicists in a very cool and practical way. And at the end of the section he talks something like "so the first thing to do is to learn to learn derivative, integral and algebra" (I don't know how much precise I'm being because I've read it in Portuguese). I would to know if there is some book that deals with math as Feynman did it in this lesson (respecting formalities, but teaching how to use the practical rules)? Also, someone have any recommendations for algebra book (college level)? Comprehensive Rules for Game of Thrones Lines of Succession I'm three quarters through the third book, "Storm of Swords" right now (so please, no spoilers from too late in the book or any subsequent books).  I just read a part where Tyrion is discussing with Prince Oberyn and they mention the difference between Dornish law and Westerosi law in Line of Succession (ie women can rule under Dornish law).  I'm a little confused trying to puzzle out what the exact LOS rules are.  At first I though it was: at the moment a king/lord dies, to find who holds the title next, you do a depth-first search down the family tree starting with the oldest sibling (ignoring anyone who isn't true-born or has given up their claim ie as Night's Watch or Kingsguard etc.).  Then, for Dornish law you take the first living person and for Westerosi law the first living male person found in this way (so succession can pass through a woman in both cases, but only Dornish law actually allows them to claim the title). If there are no valid living heirs, then you work backwards along the paternal line until you find an ancestor who has living heirs and start from them.  But there were various references to if Sansa's brothers were all dead, then her child would claim Winterfell.  It seems to me that that's only true if somebody else doesn't get it first.  In other words, if Sansa's brothers are killed before she has a child (even if she's already married), doesn't that mean Winterfell would pass to the nearest cousin along her father's line (whomever that may be)?  And then because that cousin has already held Winterfell, when they die the next in the line of succession starts from them so Sansa's children's family would not have claim to Winterfell again unless that cousin has no valid heirs.  What am I missing here? Is there some exception?  Are there no valid cousins? Diminishing returns / non-linear reputation from “great” answers Over time I realized a very annoying property of the Stack Overflow reputation system: Easy answers to popular question are rewarded with a lot more reputation points than actually great answers. In case anybody actually needs examples for this, here are two examples from :   gained me 420 rep, I invested 2 minutes writing it, and it only was a wild guess.   took me about an hour for the research and the math and gained me 40 rep.  Now I know that you are bound to get more rep for answers that are useful to more people, and I'd say that's fine. But the current situation is quite extreme: 30% of my reputation is from 5 of my 330 answers, and they are definitely far from being my best ones.  A final example that is not from my profile, but more extreme: Do you really think  is worth 40000 reputation?  My proposition to improve that situation would be to make the reputation gain from a single answer non-linear, maybe even have it capped at a certain point. I'm not sure on how that non-linear function should look exactly, and would leave good proposals for that to users with more experience than me. I would like to create a String.replaceAll() method in JavaScript and I'm thinking that using a regex would be most terse way to do it.  However, I can't figure out how to pass a variable in to a regex.  I can do this already which will replace all the instances of "B" with "A".  "ABABAB".replace(/B/g, "A");   But I want to do something like this:  String.prototype.replaceAll = function(replaceThis, withThis) {     this.replace(/replaceThis/g, withThis); };   But obviously this will only replace the text "replaceThis"...so how do I pass this variable in to my regex string? Find the volume common to two circular cylinders, each with radius r, if the axes of the cylinders intersect at right angles. (using disk/washer)  I saw no example of this problem anywhere.. I saw an example how to solve it without calculus but I'm afraid that'll be deductions on my test.. I have the volume of a cylinder and the method of area between two curves but this is out of my reach....

Is that possible? I want to sort the features in the shapefile because I'm embedding this shapefile in a mobile app. The app will display a list of features, and although I could do the sorting at load time, I'd prefer to have them sorted.
