What is the correct way to write 1.5 hours? I'm a bit confused in describing 1.5hrs in words.   Is writing one and a half an hour correct or should it be one and half hour?  E.g:     I'll see you there in one and a half an hour.     OR       I'll see you there in one and half hour.   Or is there any other correct way of writing this? How do I match any character across multiple lines in a regular expression? For example, this regex  (.*)&lt;FooBar&gt;   will match:  abcde&lt;FooBar&gt;   But how do I get it to match across multiple lines?  abcde fghij&lt;FooBar&gt; Android Seekbar with two thumbs How do I use reflection to call a generic method? We know $$i^2=-1 $$then why does this happen? $$ i^2 = \sqrt{-1}\times\sqrt{-1} $$ $$ =\sqrt{-1\times-1} $$ $$ =\sqrt{1} $$ $$ = 1 $$  EDIT: I see this has been dealt with before but at least with  I'm not making the fundamental mistake of assuming an incorrect definition of $i^2$. To make Latin-letter variables bold I can use e.g. \mathbf{a}, but while putting Greek letters or symbols such as \nabla inside \mathbf doesn't cause any errors or warnings, it also doesn't do anything else.  What is the best way to make bold math symbols, in particular Greek letters and \nabla? Noticing that Newtonian gravity and electrostatics are equivalent, is there also a relationship between the general relativity and electrodynamics? Is there a way to show Spotlight indexing status/progress in Yosemite? In previous versions of OS X, you could click the Spotlight icon in the menu bar to show the status of the Spotlight indexing, and it would show an estimate ("6 hours left"), along with a progress bar.  I've updated to Yosemite yesterday, and I noticed that Spotlight is not showing some expected results, i.e. files I know to be there, but it just doesn't find them if I type in their name and file type ("kind:excel vacation").  When I start typing in the Yosemite Spotlight window, it shows a small progress bar under the search box, but there's no estimate.    Is there another way to show the progress or an estimation on how long the indexing is going to take? Invert "if" statement to reduce nesting When I ran  on my code, for example:      if (some condition)     {         Some code...                 }   ReSharper gave me the above warning (Invert "if" statement to reduce nesting), and suggested the following correction:     if (!some condition) return;    Some code...   I would like to understand why that's better. I always thought that using "return" in the middle of a method problematic, somewhat like "goto". Find the slope of tangent line to the curve at the point $(1, \pi/2)$  the equation is  $$\sin(xy) = x$$  The right answer was = Slope is infinite   My answer was taking the derivative and I end up in this equation   $$ (1-y\cos(xy))/ x\cos(xy)  $$  I substitute with the points and the calculator showed an error, Does the error means infinite ? How to avoid the 'not properly formatted as code' alert What is the difference between encrypting some data vs signing some data (using RSA)?    Does it simply reverse the role of the public-private keys?    For example, I want to use my private key to generate messages so only I can possibly be the sender.  I want my public key to be used to read the messages and I do not care who reads them.  I want to be able to encrypt certain information and use it as a product-key for my software.  I only care that I am the only one who can generate these.  I would like to include my public key in my software to decrypt/read the signature of the key.  I do not care who can read the data in the key, I only care that I am the only verifiable one who can generate them.  Is signing useful in this scenario? Below is experimental data for the ratio $$R=\frac{\sigma(e^+e^-\rightarrow hadrons)}{\sigma(e^+e^-\rightarrow\mu^+\mu^-)}$$ as a function of the centre of mass energy $\sqrt s$. I am interested in the peak at around $100GeV$ which corresponds to the resonance of the $Z^0$ boson. There are two ways of looking at this that I have in mind:  We can effectively ignore the electromagnetic process around this energy, and so each process should have it's own Breit-Wigner peak centred on the mass energy of the $Z^0$. The ratio of these is just a constant. Thinking in terms of Feynman rules and again ignoring the electromagnetic process around this region, each process has the same propagator and vertex factors (roughly - ignore quark mixing) and there are some extra factors due to different quarks being possible and colour degeneracy, but still the ratio should be a constant (one possible issue here is interference between Feynman diagrams which I have neglected?).  So my question is why does the peak exist in the data?

Is there some preference in the settings that has to be turned on? I am writing my thesis and using latex for first time. I would like to modify the the first page of my thesis, as it shows only name of thesis, my name etc. I would like to move all  text little-bit to right-side, just on the first page, without effecting the other pages of thesis.
