Would time speed up on an object you're moving towards?
Would approaching a distant star at near the speed of light unfold its entire history in "fast-forward"?
JSON and escaped double quote I'm currently making a callout to a 3rd party vendor and I'm getting a huge response. What is currently messing me up is this section:   "MessageSeq":13,"Description":"config file: config-qa1.txt\"","MessageTS":"2014-02-17T14:46:58","MessageLevel":4,"IsSystemMessage":false   As you can see here, the portion at the end of the Description value is ended with backslash double quote. If I attempt to parse this via the JSONParser I get an exception. Does anyone have an recommendations on how to resolve this?

I think they were going through different dimensions. I remember part of it, but I don't think I ever saw how it ended. I remember my friend telling me there was a twist at the end. I think they were trying to find something and he was always ahead of them.. How did Google find my unlinked newly created pages? I am building a new site, but creating the content using a subdirectory on an existing site. I have never posted a link to this subdirectory anywhere, yet searching Google reveals that Google has found these pages on my site and indexed them.  Further, I updated the site with a robots.txt file that WMT reports as being read, and testing the blocked pages using the WMT test tool indicates that the pages will not be indexed. Apparently this does not remove the pages from existing results, though I submitted a request to do so.  How did Google find these pages to begin with? Is it because I used a common subdirectory name and Google guesses at common subdirectories? I am stuck with the proof of below expression;  "If F is an infinite field, then no infinite subgroup of F* (the multiplicative group of F) is cyclic."  anyone can help? Can you enter the Schengen area with a UK visa? "two bypass/decoupling capacitors" rule? Error handling in C code Is it possible to check for an injured player in Minecraft? I am creating a mini-game in Minecraft, where I must check to see if the player is injured. The injured player will then be given an item. My guess is that the command would look something like /testfor @p[injured=true], but this command doesn't work. Is there a command for this? When should I use a struct rather than a class in C#? $\mathbb R$ has the same cardinality of any interval Some document elements (e.g., figures in the book class) are numbered per chapter (figure 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, ...). How can I achieve continuous numbering (figure 1, 2, 3, ...)?  And vice versa: Some document elements (e.g., figures in the article class) are numbered continuously. How can I achieve per-section numbering?  \documentclass{book}% for "vice versa" variant, replace `book` with `article`  \begin{document}  \chapter{foo}% for "vice versa" variant, replace `\chapter` with `\section`  \begin{figure} \centering \rule{1cm}{1cm}% placeholder for graphic \caption{A figure} \end{figure}  \end{document}   Bonus question: Is it possible to adjust the numbering of the sectioning headings themselves? Can I, e.g., switch from per-chapter to continuous numbering of sections in the book class? Double-column listing package Not too well up on LaTeX, but I want to use the listings package for listings spanning a two-column format.  Unfortunately, asterisks cannot save me (like for figures/tables); this doesn't work:  \begin{lstlisting*} ... \end{lstlisting*}   I've Googled about, but got no satisfactory answer, and getting a bit desperate. Should be simple... hope I'm not missing something stupid. Perhaps it's possible to embed this into a separate spanning float?  Help?  (P.S., I've posted this on the main stackoverflow site as well...  if this is considered a duplicate, please comment and I'll remove the other. Getting a bit desperate fighting a deadline.) How to rename partitions? I'm new at Ubuntu; I installed Ubuntu 12.10 and the partitions appear like 30 GB volume and like 78EF-2C5E in task bar. I tried to rename it but rename and remove buttons are deactivated so I tried by using disks but it gives me error:  (Error setting label: Command-line `mlabel -i "/dev/sdb8" ::"windows"' exited with non-zero exit status 1: Total number of sectors (18550784) not a multiple of sectors per track (63)! Add mtools_skip_check=1 to your .mtoolsrc file to skip this test  (udisks-error-quark, 0))   and this happen also to any attached usb to my laptop. The vertices of an equilateral triangle are shrinking towards each other Reverse String order Currently, the only way to link to a revision (clicking "link"), you just get  which shows what the post looked like at that revision:        Personally, I rarely use this and haven't ever found myself in a scenario (as far as I remember) where I would prefer the way it currently works to what I'm suggesting here.  Could we:   Add another link, or Change the current link   Such that it:   Displays the diff on a separate page (I'd prefer this, since the highlight and scroll thing doesn't always work properly - although perhaps it has something to do with loading images, so it might not apply here, or, if it doesn't, we could fix that instead), or          Highlights and scrolls to a diff, like what is done when you link to an answer () Is it advisable to use lead-free PCB and solder paste on a first SMD assembly job? Accelerating electrons via microwaves In Synchrotrons I think they use microwaves to accelerate the electrons bundles that fly through-how does putting a microwave through a cavity accelerate an electron? I know that the Electric and Magnetic fields could and do have an effect on the electron, but if the radiation is moving parallel to the electron, wouldn't the force be perpendicular? Also, how exactly does the microwave radiation look in the vacuum chamber? Are the two ends constant nodes? Which one true in First law of thermodynamics:    $Q = \Delta U \pm W = \Delta U \pm p\Delta V$? (where $\Delta U$ is change of internal energy, $W$ work made by system and $Q=cm\Delta T $ heat made by system.)    or $\Delta U= \Delta Q + \Delta W $? (where $\Delta U$ is change of internal energy, $W$ work made by system and $Q=cm\Delta T $ heat made by system.)   First one from one the finnish physics texbook another is from . If you have a conducting hollow sphere with a uniform charge on its surface, then will the electric field at every point inside the shell be 0. The reason the electric field is 0 at the center is clear from the symmetry of the sphere, but for a point at a certain distance from the center, shouldn't a net electric field exist?  I saw a similar question on the site but it was vaguely explained.
