If a topology contains all infinite subsets, then it is the discrete topology I am solving question $8$ of exercises in section 1.1. of chapter 1 in "Topology without tears". The question reads as follows.     Let $X$ be an infinite set and $\tau$ be a topology on $X$. If every infinite subset of $X$ is in $\tau$, prove that $\tau$ is the discrete topology   My idea was to show that every singleton set is in the topology and thereby the topology is discrete.  Choose an infinite set $A$ from $X$ such that $A^c$ is also infinite. $A$ and $A^c$ belong to $\tau$ since they are infinite sets. Now consider any $x \in X$. Note that $A \cup \{x\}$ and $A^c \cup \{x\}$ belong to $\tau$ since they are infinite sets. Hence, their intersection which is nothing but $\{x\} \in \tau$ for every $x \in X$.  The problem I have is I don't know how to prove the first sentence in the previous paragraph. These are my line of thoughts to prove them.   If $X$ is a countably infinite set, then I can list the elements are let the odd numbered elements fall into $A$. This guarantees $A$ and $A^c$ are both infinite. If $X$ is uncountable, then I can choose a countably infinite subset and call it $A$.   Are the above arguments rigorous? I am not especially happy with my second argument of choosing a countably infinite subset from an uncountable set since I do not give an explicit procedure of constructing the set $A$.  Also, is there any other simpler way of answering the original question? How do I install the latest OpenOffice? Factorisations of permutations Head or tail sound fine to my ESL ears.  What's the reasoning behind the plural usage?  I looked it up on etymonline but didn't find anything interesting. Quantum Field Theory from a mathematical point of view I performed principal component analysis (PCA) with R using two different functions (prcomp and princomp) and observed that the PCA scores differed in sign. How can it be?  Consider this:  set.seed(999) prcomp(data.frame(1:10,rnorm(10)))$x              PC1        PC2  [1,] -4.508620 -0.2567655  [2,] -3.373772 -1.1369417  [3,] -2.679669  1.0903445  [4,] -1.615837  0.7108631  [5,] -0.548879  0.3093389  [6,]  0.481756  0.1639112  [7,]  1.656178 -0.9952875  [8,]  2.560345 -0.2490548  [9,]  3.508442  0.1874520 [10,]  4.520055  0.1761397  set.seed(999) princomp(data.frame(1:10,rnorm(10)))$scores          Comp.1     Comp.2  [1,]  4.508620  0.2567655  [2,]  3.373772  1.1369417  [3,]  2.679669 -1.0903445  [4,]  1.615837 -0.7108631  [5,]  0.548879 -0.3093389  [6,] -0.481756 -0.1639112  [7,] -1.656178  0.9952875  [8,] -2.560345  0.2490548  [9,] -3.508442 -0.1874520 [10,] -4.520055 -0.1761397   Why do the signs (+/-) differ for the two analyses? If I was then using principal components PC1 and PC2 as predictors in a regression, i.e. lm(y ~ PC1 + PC2), this would completely change my understanding of the effect of the two variables on y depending on which method I used! How could I then say that PC1 has e.g. a positive effect on y and PC2 has e.g. a negative effect on y?    In addition: If the sign of PCA components is meaningless, is this true for factor analysis (FA) as well? Is it acceptable to flip (reverse) the sign of individual PCA/FA component scores (or of loadings, as a column of loading matrix)? What does "user was removed" mean and why did my reputation change because of it? Message appearing when a user was removed.     It seems I lost 1765 reputation points on Stack Overflow yesterday. The reason given in my history is "removed", with the description of "User was removed ()". I don't understand what that means. What caused this? Not enough memory to load specified image I built a computer recently and I've tried to use Ubuntu and Linux Mint, both trying to install from a 32gb USB 2.0 flash drive, without success. There is no other operating system on the computer and with each OS I get the same error:  Not enough memory to load specified image. boot: _   I'm new to Linux, so I don't know whether this is related to the OS.

Being new to objective-c, cocoa, and iPhone dev in general, I have a strong desire to get the most out of the language and the frameworks.  One of the resources I'm using is Stanford's CS193P class notes that they have left on the web.  It includes lecture notes, assignments and sample code, and since the course was given by Apple dev's, I definitely consider it to be "from the horse's mouth".  Class Website:   Lecture 08 is related to an assignment to build a UINavigationController based app that has multiple UIViewControllers pushed onto the UINavigationController stack.  That's how the UINavigationController works.  That's logical.  However, there are some stern warnings in the slide about communicating between your UIViewControllers.  I'm going to quote from this serious of slides:   Page 16/51:     How Not To Share Data         Global Variables or singletons         This includes your application delegate      Direct dependencies make your code less reusable         And more difficult to debug &amp; test         Ok.  I'm down with that.  Don't blindly toss all your methods that will be used for communicating between the viewcontroller into your app delegate and reference the viewcontroller instances in the app delegate methods.  Fair 'nuff.  A bit further on, we get this slide telling us what we should do.  Page 18/51:     Best Practices for Data Flow         Figure out exactly what needs to be communicated   Define input parameters for your view controller   For communicating back up the hierarchy, use loose coupling         Define a generic interface for observers (like delegation)         This slide is then followed by what appears to be a place holder slide where the lecturer then apparently demonstrates the best practices using an example with the UIImagePickerController.  I wish the videos were available! :(  Ok, so... I'm afraid my objc-fu is not so strong.  I'm also a bit confused by the final line in the above quote.  I've been doing my fair share of googling about this and I found what appears to be a decent article talking about the various methods of Observing/Notification techniques:   Method #5 even indicates delegates as an method!  Except.... objects can only set one delegate at a time.  So when I have multiple viewcontroller communication, what am I to do?  Ok, that's the set up gang.  I know I can easily do my communication methods in the app delegate by reference's the multiple viewcontroller instances in my appdelegate but I want to do this sort of thing the right way.  Please help me "do the right thing" by answering the following questions:   When I am trying to push a new viewcontroller on the UINavigationController stack, who should be doing this push.  Which class/file in my code is the correct place? When I want to affect some piece of data (value of an iVar) in one of my UIViewControllers when I am in a different UIViewController, what is the "right" way to do this? Give that we can only have one delegate set at a time in an object, what would the implementation look like for when the lecturer says "Define a generic interface for observers (like delegation)".  A pseudocode example would be awfully helpful here if possible. Thus is a picture of both of my hard-drives:    My C Drive and my D drive. I want to put Ubuntu onto my D Drive. Now my question here is if i do install onto my D Drive then how should I do it in order to retain use of the drive. I intend to partition about 60 gigs from it. Now after doing that I should still have about 830 gigs left. I want to still be able to use that in Windows. So how and will I be able to retain use of the drive after Installing? I have installed once before and I believe i did it wrong because not only could Windows not recognize my D drive but I also lost all the data on it.   My computer is a Lenovo Y700 It is a UEFI (I believe i got that right). The shrine indicator (shrine detector? GPShrine?) has both visual and audio cues, so when I'm near a shrine, it beeps constantly. Unfortunately, I occasionally play the game near other humans who are engaged in their own activities, and my wife is decidedly unimpressed with this feature.   When I got the shrine indicator, I could have sworn that the dialogue said I could press [Y] to disable it... but pressing Y pulls out my weapon.   Ideally, I'd like to just make it stop beeping, but stay on for visual cues. But I'll settle for being able to turn it off entirely at times.

I'm looking at a corded model and a cordless model. But the question I have is not about which one is better.   My question today is why the corded one has the blade on the right of my hand and the cordless one has the blade on the left of my hand. See both models below.     Now, I know some manufacturers make left- and right-handed versions of their circular saw. And I'm also aware that 'worm drive circular saws' usually have the blade to the left of my hand. But it seems odd to me. Especially as it seems to apply to most manufacturers too.   Was wondering if somebody has an explanation for this. Why do we have two of some organs, but not all?
