How can I validate a username and password against Active Directory? I simply want to check if a username and password are correct. I've been told not to use for...in with arrays in JavaScript. Why not? network connection over thunderbolt bridge between linux and mac Find the maximum value of $ f(x) = \int^{x}_{0} \sqrt{(x^2-x)^2+y^4}~dy$ Find the maximum value of $f(x)$ when $0 \leq x \leq 1$ and $$ f(x) = \int^{x}_{0} \sqrt{(x^2-x)^2+y^4}~dy$$   I'm guessing that the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus can't be used because the integrand is a function of $x$.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. What is IEEE 802.3 Ethernet's communication type: Synchronous or Asynchronous? In the IEEE 802.3 frame structure there is a 7 byte preamble section for synchronization. If it is really for synchronization does that mean Ethernet is synchronous and not asynchronous?    Ethernet structure for reference: I remember reading this book back in late 90's. It is about a slave that gathers some friends and goes into a desert to find/fight a dragon. There is also a revolt/uprising in the slaves' home town. I can't remember if this is a single book or a trilogy.  I think the rulers were called Sorcerer-lords or Sorcerer-Kings. And I remember one character was called Boris or Borys. How can I play encrypted DVD movies?

How to make a white number inside a black circle (the picture below)? I want to change numbers inside the black circle, of course.  I use Share LaTeX. I have read some articles here but anyone are not what I would like to get. I would like to get this  (the picture below) - the sixth answer.   Thanks for help. Find with proof all positive integers $n$ such that $2^n + 1 \equiv 0 \pmod{n}$ I found this problem in a book and while I understand the given solution, I don't quite understand how somebody would arrive at this solution unless they did out the casework and happened to make the right guesses to solve the problem. Any guidance on solving this from scratch would be greatly appreciated! When incident light passes through a hydrogen gas, for example, does it have 50% chance (since it's a 1:1 ratio of protons to electrons) of getting absorbed by the proton? Any chance at all? If no, why not? Does a proton have a "bandgap"? If yes, what happens when a photon is absorbed by a proton? Windows 7 finding location of installed program Why can't humans throw objects at bullet speed when the force involved seems so small? The force that propels a bullet should at least be similar in intensity to the force experienced as recoil and the force exerted on the target. But these forces seem really low (the equivalent of a shove).  If all it takes to make a small object achieve bullet speed is the equivalent of a shove, why can't humans throw objects at these speeds? I have been asked by a client to implement some views for reporting purposes, the views will be accessed via PowerBI, Excel and SSRS. The designated user will only have access to the view and no underlying tables must be available to the user.  The problem I have encountered in that the SQL within the view touches 3 different schemas (All within the same database):   Pupil Provider  Security   The view is:  CREATE VIEW dbo.vTestPermissions AS SELECT a.Column1,        b.Column1,        c.Column1 FROM Pupil.Table1 a JOIN Provider.Table2 b ON a.Column1 = b.Column1 JOIN Security.Table3 c ON a.Column1 = c.Column1   The owners of the Tables/View are as follows:   Pupil.Table1 - Owner Pupil Provider.Table2 - Owner Provider Security.Table3 - Owner Security vTestPermissions - Owner dbo   When I select from the view I get an error:     The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'table3', database   'TEST', schema 'Security'   I have tried giving SELECT permission with and without the GRANT option to the schema, and the tables, but that makes the underlying tables available to the user.  Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. I have an issue which I've been struggling with today. The JSON is returned back to me with a project Id as the key, this Project Id is dynamically generated and due to this I have not been able to come up with a way to deserialize this response.

At first I thought there might be some internet connection issue, but this is now the 3rd to 4th time I got the same error; also, the review is accepted because on refresh I can see my name with approved text beside, but it still throws this error.    I am on a Windows 7 machine, running Firefox 24 (Icognito/Private Mode)    Also, this happens only when edit(1) is written on an question/answer, I don't go to review queue and approve, these reviews were directly loaded from the notification beneath the question/answer.  Martijn Pieters reproduced the problem from the review queue three times; each time the improve option was picked, accepting the suggested edit but editing the post some more.

Quoting backslashes in Python string literals I have a string that contains both double-quotes and backslashes that I want to set to a variable in Python. However, whenever I try to set it, the quotes or slashes are either removed or escaped. Here's an example:  &gt;&gt;&gt; foo = 'baz "\"' &gt;&gt;&gt; foo 'baz ""'   So instead of baz "\" like I want I'm getting baz "". If I then try to escape the backslash, it doesn't help either:  &gt;&gt;&gt; foo = 'baz "\\"' &gt;&gt;&gt; foo 'baz "\\"'   Which now matches what I put in but wasn't what I originally wanted. How do you get around this problem? what is the surface area of a cap on a hypersphere? According to , let the sphere have radius $R$, then the surface area a spherical cap of height $h$ and base radius $a$ is given by $$S=2\pi Rh=2\pi(a^2+h^2).$$  What is this value for an n-dimensional hypersphere? If it helps simplify the problem we can assume $R=1$ and $a=0.5$.   Many thanks.
