Should i use finalize() or not in java?
When is the finalize() method called in Java?
How are one-time pads distributed? It seems that OTP encryption is unbreakable. I have read some articles (Wikipedia, Blogpost, etc.), but I could not find any information about how they are used.  If I wanted to create a messenger service, how would I distribute the OTP keys? Both the sender and the receiver need this key before the message is sent, right?   And how do I make sure no one else gets these keys? Boot partition full, can't remove kernels I want to save a backup of my data on a remote server, but never want the backup server to see the data unencrypted. Editing a single file and backing up should not result in everything being encrypted and sent again. The remote server should preferably not even know the directory structure (and especially not the directory names).  Is there such a solution? How to prove that: $\tan(3\pi/11) + 4\sin(2\pi/11) = \sqrt{11}$ How can I increase the JVM memory? Let $f$ be a real-valued function continuous on $[a,b]$ and differentiable on $(a,b)$. Suppose that $\lim_{x\rightarrow a}f'(x)$ exists. Then, prove that $f$ is differentiable at $a$ and $f'(a)=\lim_{x\rightarrow a}f'(x)$.    It seems like an easy example, but a little bit tricky. I'm not sure which theorems should be used in here.    ==============================================================  Using @David Mitra's advice and @Pete L. Clark's notes I tried to solve this proof. I want to know my proof is correct or not.  By MVT, for $h&gt;0$ and $c_h \in (a,a+h)$ $$\frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}=f'(c_h)$$ and $\lim_{h \rightarrow 0^+}c_h=a$.    Then $$\lim_{h \rightarrow 0^+}\frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}=\lim_{h \rightarrow 0^+}f'(c_h)=\lim_{h \rightarrow 0^+}f'(a)$$   But that's enough? I think I should show something more, but don't know what it is. If an polynomial has a complex root, is it necessary that its conjugate is also a root? If an polynomial has a complex root, is it necessary that the conjugate of that root is also a root of the polynomial? I am not sure about this. Please comment on this. What is the value of $\arctan(1/2)+\arctan(1/5)+\arctan(1/8)$? Can anyone help me identify a story about kids with silver blood? Consider the examples:    "My name is Ricky."   He said his name is Ricky.    The tense is not backshifted in #2 because his name is and will always be Ricky. Also consider:    Ricky says: "I live in Paris."   Ricky said that he lives in Paris.    The tense is not backshifted in #4 because he still lives in Paris.  For examples #2 and #4, it is possible to not backshift the tense because the reporting words are still true at the time of reporting, but what will you say about the following examples:        I asked what his name is.   I asked where he lives.      Here, is it correct for #5 and #6 to not backshift the tense?  If #5 and #6 are correct, then under what conditions is it correct to not backshift the verb like that? Working in an enterprise system. We need to determine if everyone needs to update to 10.6 at the same time for mxd cross-compatibility or can we update from 10.5 as needed. Grant admin rights on an application I'm want to grant a user administrative rights to one application on Windows 7. I don't want them to be able to have full admin rights, but admin rights are required for one of the applications they need to use.   Is there a way to set up a batch script or something where the user won't know it's being run as admin?  Or is there another way?  How can I accomplish this? The world I've been playing crashed recently and took the level.dat with it, so I've recreated it, however I have no idea what my seed used to be, and I really don't want to end up with another corrupted game world from exploring with the wrong seed.  How can I recover the seed which was used to generate my world? I would like a way to mark a question in the Unanswered "my tags" page as something I'm not interested in or able to answer The /unanswered/tagged?tab=mytags page gives a list of questions from my favorite tags that are currently considered "unanswered" - they have no up voted or accepted answers. I think it's good to put them in front of me easily, but even though they have one or more tags that I'm interested in, I may not have the knowledge, ability, or interest to write an answer to them. However, they will remain on this page until someone writes an answer.  I would like to be able to dismiss questions from views, like this one, that show me interesting questions. I may choose to share them on my social media to get them views and answers, but I don't want to continually see them. Instead, I want to be able to use views like unanswered/tagged?tab=mytags as a queue of things that could use my attention. Are all electrons identical? Why should two sub-atomic (or elementary particle) - say electrons need to have identical static properties - identical mass, identical charge? Why can't they differ between each other by a very slight degree? Is there a theory which proves that?  Imagine an alien of size of order of Milky-way galaxy examining our solar system with a probe of size of 10's of solar system dimension and concludes that all planets are identical. Can I use an inner tube that's too narrow for the tyre? I recently got a puncture and when I went to replace the inner tube I discovered that I'd bought the wrong size tube. My tyre is 700 x 40c, the tube is 700 x 28-35c.  What is likely to happen if I use this tube? Will the tube explode when I attempt to inflate it? I have been reading through my notes and I came across this example and I found it hard to understand so I need some help in explaining how the inverse of this is found.  The set $\mathbb Q(\sqrt 2)=\{a+b\sqrt2$: $a,b$ in $\mathbb Q \}$ is a field. The inverse of an element $a+b\sqrt 2$ in $ \mathbb Q(\sqrt 2$) is  $$\frac{1}{a+b\sqrt{2}}=\frac{a}{a^2-2b^2}+\frac{-b}{a^2-2b^2}\sqrt{2} $$  Can anyone explain  to how the inverse was found? Appreciate your help. I'm programming a presentation in LaTeX using the beamer class.  However, it defaults to 4:3 aspect ratio slides, while everything I use is 16:9. Is there an easy way to change this using a command or two? Why do the Walking Dead Zombies only show intelligence in the very first episode? I enjoy The Walking Dead, however one question keeps nagging me. The 'Walkers' are always shown to not have any intelligence or memory of having been human. This is for all seasons except the very first one.  In the very first scene of Season One, Episode One, we see a little zombie girl stop to deliberately pick up a teddy bear from the ground.   Later in the same episode we see a zombie apparently try to turn the door knob to get into Morgen Jones' house.  Also at Atlanta they can climb fences and used rocks to break glass.  After season 1 I do not recall seeing any such intelligence demonstrated by a zombie again.  My question is: are these initial displays of intelligence a discrepancy in the story, or is there a plausible explanation why the Walkers performed these actions? If you create a scene for the Video Sequence Editor and start working on a project Blender will render the output from the VSE. But if you want to later switch it to render your 3D scene again (the camera output) where is the setting to select the source?  Usually I keep a separate .blend for VSE edits so I don't need to switch, but I feel like I ought to learn how to do this as it's pretty basic. I would expect to find this in the Render context but I see no place to specify the source.  Thanks.
