Is there any field of characteristic two that is not $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ Is there any field of characteristic two that is not $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$?  That is, if a field is of characteristic 2, then does this field have to be $\{0,1\}$? The achievements drop-down menu in the new top bar shows me when a question/answer earns me reputation and how much, and that's great, but I don't know what caused that to happen. I'd like to know why I received reputation: was it an upvote? An accepted answer? An accepted edit? If I have the list of reputation values in my head I can figure it out, but it would help me to see it somewhere in the drop-down, even as title text on hover.    Edit:  It sounds like the items in the menu can roll up multiple events, and that's why it doesn't show the event there. How about adding a link to my reputation tab to the menu so I can quickly get to a breakdown? Let $R$ be a commutative ring with finitely many maximal ideals $\mathfrak m_1,\ldots,\mathfrak m_n$. Let $M$ be a finitely generated module. Then there exists an element $x\in M$ such that $\frac{x}{1}\not\in\mathfrak m_iM_{{\mathfrak m}_i}$ for every $i=1,\dots,n$.    I cannot prove that such an element there exists. I was trying to prove it by induction on $n$. If $n=1$ it is true by Nakayama, so suppose it is true for $n-1$. Then for every $i$ I can find an $x_i\in M$ such that $\frac{x_i}{1}\not\in \mathfrak m_jM_{\mathfrak m_j}$ for every $j\neq i$. If $\frac{x_i}{1}\not\in \mathfrak m_iM_{\mathfrak m_i}$ for some $i$ we are done, so suppose $\frac{x_i}{1}\in\ m_iM_{m_i}$ for every $i$. I don't know how to go on, could you help me? Any Video formats that render with Alpha Channel? Does anyone know if there are any video formats (besides the HUGE uncompressed avis) that you can render in that maintain the alpha channel? (i.e. for after FX etc.)   I used to use quicktime, but that's no longer an option.  I know you can render in png. or other image formats, but video is significantly smaller, and I often work on machines with less space &amp; resources. When should "into" be used rather than "in to," and vice versa? "Into" (one word) and "in to" (two words) are frequently confused.  In what situations should the former be used?  The latter? Does causation imply correlation? What is the difference in meaning between "proposal" and "proposition"? I cannot find the Polygon Neighbors tool. I have searched for it as I usually do and I have also browsed the proximity toolset but it is not there. The other Tools, e.g. Buffer and Near are there and work fine. Here is a screenshot: WinError 32 error when trying to delete shapefiles with QGIS python Is there a realistic way of implementing a multi-threaded model in PHP whether truly, or just simulating it. Some time back it was suggested that you could force the operating system to load another instance of the PHP executable and handle other simultaneous processes.  The problem with this is that when the PHP code finished executing the PHP instance remains in memory because there is no way to kill it from within PHP.  So if you are simulating several threads you can imagine whats going to happen.  So I am still looking for a way multi-threading can be done or simulated effectively from within PHP. Any ideas? How do you appear offline to friends on Battle.net? I have a number of friends on my battle.net account. However, sometimes I don't want to appear online to some (or all) of them. Is there a way to be hidden from your friends on battle.net? ExitCodes bigger than 255, possible? If yes, on which operating system, shell or whatever?  Consider the following java program (I'm using java just as an example, any language would be good for this question, which is more about operation systems):  public class ExitCode {     public static void main(String args[]) {         System.exit(Integer.parseInt(args[0]));     } }   Running it on Linux and bash, it returns always values less equal 255, e.g. (echo $? prints the exit code of the previous executed command)  &gt; java ExitCode 2; echo $? 2  &gt; java ExitCode 128; echo $? 128  &gt; java ExitCode 255; echo $? 255  &gt; java ExitCode 256; echo $? 0  &gt; java ExitCode 65536; echo $? 0     EDITED: the (only, so far) answer below fully  explain what happens on UNIXes. I'm still wondering about other OSes. I've seen this message several times whenever someone has a problem installing, upgrading or removing some piece of software, but I wonder, what does it mean, and more importantly, is possible to solve it?  (Reading database ... 81657 files and directories currently installed.)

We show that $X \setminus D $ is open. In other words, we need to find an open ball contained in $X \setminus D$.   Pick $$t \in X-D \implies d(t,x_0) &gt; r \implies d(t,x_0) - r &gt; 0 $$ Let $B(y, r_1)$ be an open ball, and pick $z \in B(y,r_1)$. Then, we must have $d(y,z) &lt; r_1 $. We need to choose $r_1$ so that $d(z,x_0) &gt; r$. Notice by the triangle inequality  $$ d(x_0,t) \leq d(x_0,z) + d(z,t) \implies d(z,x_0) \geq d(x_0,t) - d(z,t) &gt; d(x_0,t) - r_1.$$  Notice, if we pick $r_1 = d(t,x_0)-r$ then we are done.  Is this correct? What are the differences between a multidimensional array and an array of arrays in C#? What are the differences between multidimensional arrays double[,] and array-of-arrays double[][] in C#?  If there is a difference, what is the best use for each one? Why is the light reflected at the same angle from mirror? From the school physics I know that the material objects bounce from the plane surface at the same angle, losing some kinetic energy. In the same school I was taught that the light (and waves in general) obeys this principle too.  Obviously, in the case of light the plane surface should be a perfect mirror. But I can't understand how should this work from the quantum point of view. Let's assume that our mirror consists of a single silver atom.  Why should the electrons of this atom re-emit consumed photons at some specific angle? Could we have the ability to mark a change as minor in questions or answers? It would be nice to allow users to mark a change in an answer (or question) as minor (e.g. for a simple spelling or grammar correction). A change marked as minor wouldn't push the question on top of the list of questions on the home page or in the feeds. It wouldn't trigger any notification. This could be implemented with a "Minor change" checkbox when editing an entry (a la Confluence). What do you think? Remove specific duplicates (all but latest) When removing duplicate rows, using the below query from  tutorial, how would I go about forcing which of the found duplicates to remove?  DELETE FROM dbo.ATTENDANCE      WHERE AUTOID NOT IN (SELECT MIN(AUTOID) _ FROM dbo.ATTENDANCE      GROUP BY EMPLOYEE_ID,ATTENDANCE_DATE)    And this works great. The reason why I am using this one is because the only unique id available is one in the IDENTITY column. And to determine if there are duplicate rows I have to look at a combination of multiple columns.    But if I have a set of duplicate rows how do I / how does SQL Server decide which to remove? And how would I force it to remove all but the one with the highest IDENTITY value?  EMPLOYEE_ID     ATTENDANCE_DATE     AUTOID A001            2011-01-01          1 A001            2011-01-01          2   If I would run the query now it happens to remove the second one, with AUTOID 2. But I am trying to remove all but this one (because this is the one latest added). $X$ is Hausdorff if and only if the diagonal of $X\times X$ is closed Let $X$ be a topological space. The diagonal of $X \times X$ is the subset $$D = \{(x,x)\in X\times X\mid x \in X\}.$$   Show that $X$ is Hausdorff if and only if $D$ is closed in $X \times X$.   First, I tried to show that $X \times X \setminus D$ is open using the fact that $X \times X$ is Hausdorff (because $X$ is Hausdorff), but I couldn't find an open set that contains a point outside $D$ and is disjoint to it... Can the ship's captain really perform your wedding when in international waters? On , Mark Mayo posted a comment that any marriage has to be on dry land or close to it.  But I'm sure all of us have heard of ships' captains marrying couples at sea.  From the movie Casablanca:     Say, why don't we get married in Marseilles?   ...   Well, let's see. What about the engineer? Why can't he marry us on the train?   ...   Well, why not? The captain on a ship can. It doesn't seem fair that...    So is this fiction after all? If not how does it fit with Mark's comment? What special rules and such should we know?  If I'm travelling at sea with a significant other and wish to tie the knot, can we do so with any captain on any ship on any sea? Must it be international waters?
