I haven't got any answer and comments to my question. What can I do?
How do I get attention for one of my own questions without a good answer?
When to use Stateful session bean over Stateless session bean? Number of elements of a finite field request: bragging & boasting but all made up of lies This is a single word, idiom, phrase, expression request - so basically I'll take anything that fits the bill.  Basically I'm trying to translate the Chinese word 吹牛 - which dictionaries will tell you mean to brag &amp; to boast - but it actually also refers to things that are usually all untruths and lies.  I thought, originally, that one of these would work: he's just bragging (i.e.: it's not, actually, true) - but Google only says:     brag      braɡ/      verb      ?verb: brag; 3rd person present: brags; past tense: bragged; past participle: bragged; gerund or present participle: bragging         say something in a boastful manner.

Anything about bragging or boasting that involves lies? conversion of laplacian from cartesian to spherical coordinates Setting the correct encoding when piping stdout in Python How do I check to see if a column exists in a SqlDataReader object?  In my data access layer, I have create a method that builds the same object for multiple stored procedures calls.  One of the stored procedures has an additional column that is not used by the other stored procedures.  I want to modified the method to accommodate for every scenario.  My application is written in C#. How can I initialize normal array member variable in initializer list? I would like to configure a module () settings with drush. This is the variable:  addtoany_nodetypes: Array (     [about_us] =&gt; about_us     [contact] =&gt; contact     [page] =&gt; page     [legal] =&gt; 0     [webform] =&gt; 0 )   So that, for instance:  [page] =&gt; page [legal] =&gt; 0   becomes  [page] =&gt; 0 [legal] =&gt; legal   But I am rather new at drush and I am at a complete loss. Thanks for your time. Trying to identify a very old short story about aliens colonizing human bodies Don't remember the exact start to the story, but it went something like "walking along a path" or something, and when he hears what sounds like a shotgun blast behind him, he then feels something strike him in the butt. He passes out, and when he awakens, he discovers that the "shotgun blast" was actually a miniature spaceship that exploded and shot miniature aliens into his body. The aliens prove to be very beneficial because they clean up all the toxins and other poisons in his body. They can be transmitted through kissing or sexual activity.  Any help with the name of the story would be greatly appreciated.  Dan If $f: \mathbb Q\to \mathbb Q$ is a homomorphism, prove that $f(x)=0$ for all $x\in\mathbb Q$ or $f(x)=x$ for all $x$ in $\mathbb Q$.  I'm wondering if you can help me with this one? Position of "only" in “We 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 have two possibilities” Is there any difference in meaning between the three following sentences?   We only have two possibilities. We have only two possibilities. We have two possibilities only.   I have already read  and I know that the position of only and the emphasis (written or oral) may change the meaning of some sentences, but I am not sure if it does here.  Note: It is clear that “only we have two possibilities” has a different meaning. My question is restricted to the sentences I’ve listed above. Marshal "char *" in C# Given the following C function in a DLL:  char * GetDir(char* path );   How would you P/Invoke this function into C# and marshal the char * properly. .NET seems to know how to do LPCTSTR but when I can't figure out any marshaling that doesn't cause a NotSupportedException to fire when calling this function. I read in a book &quot;Physics - Resnik and Halliday&quot; the explanation of Type-I Superconductors {cold ones} that:  The Electrons that make up current at super-cool temperatures move in coordinated pairs. One of the electrons in a pair may electrically distort the molecular structure of the superconducting material as it moves through, creating  nearby short-lived regions of positive charge.the other electron in the the pair may be attracted to the positive spot. According to the theory the coordination would prevent them from colliding with the molecules of the material and thus would eliminate electrical resistance  Is this the only explanation or can somebody give me a more intuitive explanation that also takes into the problem of defect scattering as in the case of resistance and also explains the Type-II superconductors {hot ones} P.S. What are &quot;coordinated pairs&quot;? Prove $[A,B^n] = nB^{n-1}[A,B]$ I am trying to show that $[A,B^n] = nB^{n-1}[A,B]$ where A and B are two Hermitian operators that commute with their commutator. However, I am running into a little problem and would like a hint of how to proceed.  If A and B commute then $[A,B] = ABA^{-1}B^{-1} = e$ where e is the identity element of the group.  $$\therefore AB=BA$$  $$n=1; [A,B^1] = (1)B^0[A,B] = e$$ This statement is certainly true. however moving on to $n = 2$ I find...  $$[A,B^2] = AB^2A^{-1}B^{-2} = ABBA^{-1}B^{-1}B^{-1} = BBAA^{-1}B^{-1}B^{-1}$$  Where in the last step I have used the fact that A and B commute to rearange the terms. However, it is plain to see that this last term simply reduces to the identity as well and for the n = 2 case we have:  $$[A,B^2] = e \ne 2B[A,B] = 2Be = 2B$$  Clearly I have assumed something I shouldn't have. The fact that there is a multiplicative factor of n implies I should be adding things, but I thought if I kept it as general as possible, the answer should just fall out naturally. I don't want an answer please, only guidance. Does "apropos" take a preposition? How do you use this word, anyway? Which is more correct:     Apropos of your earlier comment, I decided to....   or      Apropos your earlier comment, I decided to...   Actually, apropos is so fancy a word, even I, a word maven if I do say so myself, am not entirely sure when to use it.  If I may add to my preposition question, are there any constructions where it would be appropriate to use something like with regard to and not apropos? Can I make a custom node from a group and have that available in other projects? I've found some neat combinations of nodes to create certain effects, so I'd like to make them a group and then have that node available on my list of available nodes, even when I reload the startup file. How would I do that? I am stuck in a question for Algebraic Structures:  I need to prove: If given any ring $R$, for any $a$ in $R$ $a\cdot a=0$ then $a+a=0$.  (of course $+$, $*$ and $0$ regarding $R$)  I didn't find any question regarding this question. How to edit geometry of multiple layers simultaneously in QGIS 3? I have several line layers (route, pipes, cables) that share the same geometry and would like to edit them simultaneously.   Is there a way to easily snap the geometry of the pipes and cables layers to the route layer so that I can simply change the geometry of the route layer and don't have to repeat all changes on the other two layers as well?  To clarify, I plan a fibreglass route and have three layers. The first one describes the route that I have to take to pass all homes that have to be connected. The second one contains the pipes in which the cables lie and the third layer is the cable layer. So all features on those layers have to have the same geometry. Once I change the pathway of the route layer, I have to apply the same changes to the other two layers to ensure that they are still aligned with the route layer. I'm not sure whether I understand your comments correctly, but I use the basic editing tools in QGIS 3. It often occurs to me to add an edit summary to a question-edit immediately after submitting the edit, especially if the changes aren't obvious (formatting etc.). So I:   Click "edit" again. Fill in the summary Click on "Save Edits".   The 'edit' (no actual change has been made to the title/body/tags)  is accepted, but the summary doesn't show up, i.e. it is silently rejected.   I don't think it should work this way because the summary has been added by the original editor within the original edit's edit-window. In fact if I remember correctly, it to used to work as expected earlier; so perhaps this is a recent change. Review counts in top-bar and /review don't match So far, I thought that the number shown in the orange box in the top-bar was the number of items available for review. However, when I acually visit /review, the numbers don't match:    Note that top-bar shows 15 items (?) but the queues only add up to 8.  Since I can't think of a reason for this being by design (which, as experience shows, is not a good indicator for "this is not an SE feature) I'm tentatively labelling this a (UI) bug.
