Clean URLs and php extension on nginx I've looked at dozens of other questions and references on the web - and by all my calculations, my setup should work, but it doesn't.  I have nginx installation with php-fpm.  If I try to access a .php file, it runs correctly and I get the correct results.  I got this in my config file:  location ~ \.php$ {     try_files $uri =404;     fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;     include fastcgi_params;     fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; }   Now, I want to setup my web app so that /somedir/file automatically executes /somdir/file.php while still displaying /somdir/file in the browser's address bar.  So I modified my config to contain the following:  location / {     try_files $uri $uri/ $uri.php?query_string }   This kind of works, that is, the server does access the .php file.  Yet, instead of executing it using the existing location ~ \.php$ block above, it simply spits the php source code as the download into the browser.  If I append the .php manually to the requested URL, then the php is executed.  It feels as if once the server matches try_files to $uri.php, it then does not do another pass at locations to see that what it needs to do with the php files.  I tried putting the php block above and below the location /, but it makes no difference.  How can I get the php to be executed? How to use an existing database with an Android application The Windows 8 version of Google Chrome seems to have been updated to support the UI formerly known as Metro.  However, this seems to be the only option now, which means that I can no longer use Chrome on my netbook.  How do I get Google chrome to work in classic desktop mode on Windows 8?  Thanks Proving $\frac{a}{a^2-a+1}+\frac{b}{b^2-b+1}+\frac{c}{c^2-c+1}+\frac{d}{d^2-d+1}\le \frac{8}{3}$ given $a+b+c+d=2$ Let $a,b,c,d\in \mathbb{R}$ and $a+b+c+d=2$. Prove that $$\frac{a}{a^2-a+1}+\frac{b}{b^2-b+1}+\frac{c}{c^2-c+1}+\frac{d}{d^2-d+1}\le \frac{8}{3}.$$   We have $$\frac{a}{a^2-a+1}\le \frac{4}{3}a\Longleftrightarrow \frac{-a\left(2a-1\right)^2}{3\left(a^2-a+1\right)}\le 0,$$ (Right)  So $$LHS\le \frac{4}{3}\left(a+b+c+d\right)=\frac{8}{3}=RHS$$  When $a=b=c=d=\frac{1}{2}$  But also $a=b=c=1;d=-1$ i don't know how to solve it.

The key pair is already signed by many users and available on public servers.   Should the new key be a subkey of the expired private key?  Should it be signed by the old (I could try to edit the key and change the date of expiration to tomorrow)? Should the new key sign the old? How do I get the CPU temperature? How do I get the CPU temperature? So I have a torus, and I need it to "telescope" open -- kind of like Pacman's death animation, but with a torus instead of a sphere.  I'm very new to 3D modeling/animating so I really have no clue how to tackle this problem.  Any advice to help me get pointed in the right direction would be most appreciated :) Can virtual particles be thought of as off-shell Fourier components of a field? I just found  blog post, which gives an interpretation of virtual particles I haven't seen before.  Consider a 1D system of springs and masses, where the springs are slightly nonlinear. A "real particle" is a regular $\cos(kx-\omega t)$ wavepacket moving through the line, where $\omega$ satisfies the dispersion relation $\omega = \omega(k)$. When two real particles collide, the region where they collide temporarily looks really weird, as they interact nonlinearly, pulling and pushing on each other.  Formally, we can write this weird region as the sum of a bunch of $\cos(kx-\omega t)$ waves, but there's no guarantee they'll have the right dispersion relation. Thus, each term in the resulting expansion is a off-shell "virtual particle". If you add up all the virtual particles, you get the actual intermediate field state, which is just a weird ripple in the field where the two particles are interacting.  As another example, consider the statement "a static EM field is made of virtual particles". Under this interpretation, what that really means is, "a static field (e.g. $1/r^2$) is not equal to $\cos(kx-\omega t)$, but may be expanded in terms of such sinusoids", which is much less mysterious sounding. In fact, this is exactly what we do when we consider scattering off a potential in normal QM, e.g. in the Born approximation.  The above gives some intuition for what a 'virtual particle' means in classical field theory. They are the Fourier components of the field with $(\omega, k)$ not satisfying the dispersion relation, and they are useful in classical perturbation theory. However, they are not propagating degrees of freedom, so they only appear during interactions.   The picture above is entirely classical. Does this picture generalize to quantum field theory, giving a physical intuition for virtual particles there? Removing elements with Array.map in JavaScript How do I find out command line arguments of a running program? I'm looking for a tool or method to find out what command line parameters have been passed to a program, for example when it was run by another program (launcher-application scenario). Wave states with great confidence that Incursio is weaker than Grand Chariot, because Incursio was a prototype for Grand Chariot, etc.  The early clashes between Wave and Tatsumi can lead the viewer to such conclusion, but Incursio's has the ability to evolve (from the beast it was made of), while Grand Chariot doesn't.  If you watched to the finale, we can see that      Tatsumi causes Incursio to evolve so much during the fight against Shikoutazer that it even gains the ability to fly. While it is enough to defeat the emperor, unfortunately not enough to save Tatsumi's life.   Considering this, I don't think that Incursio was the weaker one. Is it so?

A closed form of $\int_0^1\frac{\ln\ln\left({1}/{x}\right)}{x^2-x+1}\mathrm dx$ This integral has been bugging me since yesterday:     $$\int_0^1\frac{\ln\ln\left({1}/{x}\right)}{x^2-x+1}\mathrm dx$$   I've tried substitution $y={1}/{x}$ and $e^y={1}/{x}$, but those didn't help much. Wolfram Alpha gives me result: $-0.67172$. Could anyone here please help me to obtain the closed form of the integral preferably (if possible) with elementary ways (high school methods)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. How do I make Chromium use Flash from Google Chrome? Now, that Adobe has stopped issuing new releases for Linux desktops, the only option for users is to use Google Chrome, for those who want to use the latest Flash updates. I use Chromium. Is there any way to get Chromium use the Flash from Google Chrome? The reason I as this question is that I have noticed both these browsers run in the background, so technically, the browsers' plugins are available to use. The problem is, when I open applications I need to always right click, select run as admin.     When I don't do it getting unexpected application errors. BTW, I turned off UAC.   It's annoying. Is there any way to change behavior of double left-click to act as "Run as administrator" action? I mean to make "Run as administrator" action by default. Thx in advance Finding $\int_0^\infty \frac{\cos(ax)-\cos(bx)}{x}dx$ I am practicing calculus section of GRE Math Subject test, and I can't figure out a way to do the following integral: $$\int_0^\infty \frac{\cos (ax) - \cos (bx)}{x}dx.$$  I absolutely have no clue how to do this. Can someone show me the solution explicitly? Thank you.
