Has a movie from a movie series ever been removed/retconned due to fan/general outcry? How to combine paths in Java? Is there a Java equivalent for  in C#/.NET? Or any code to accomplish this?  This static method combines one or more strings into a path. In case, if I get a multiple-entry Schengen visa in one of the embassies in Ukraine, Kyiv - should my first trip be to the country which issued the visa?  Any there any requirements of this sort? Does this condition vary depending on embassy which issued the visa?  What are the possible consequences on not visiting that country first? Does it somehow depend on country where the embassy is (i.e. non-Schengen and not EU members)? Extend a filesystem when adding HDD without using LVM? Are there any method to extend a filesystem when i adding more hdd to it without using LVM? What are those ? I found this very amusing comic on the internet the other day:   The last frame seems to claim that the harmonic series converges if you throw out all the terms with a $9$ in the denominator. Is this true? Where could I find a proof? Is it only true for terms with a $9$ or is it true for any number? If it's only true for $9$, why is that? Java Constructors I am trying to learn how to specify class constructors in Java. I am starting to understand that they specify the types of instance variables of objects made from that class. They also can be used to set the instance variable initial values. The follow example is from the Java tutorial on Sun's website:  public Bicycle(int startCadence, int startSpeed, int startGear) {     gear = startGear;     cadence = startCadence;     speed = startSpeed; }   Where in your classes source code should you put the constructor(s)?  Are these arguments the names of the variables?: (int startCadence, int startSpeed, int startGear) or are gear, cadence and speed the names of the variables?  What is the difference between (int startCadence, int startSpeed, int startGear) and gear, cadence and speed?  In the unlikely event that my instructor or any administrator from Salt Lake Community College ever comes across this question, let me make my intentions clear. This question is posted in the greatest spirit of academic honesty. I ask this question to seek general advice and help in understanding the proper way to use the Java programming language. I in no way use the work of others and represent it as my own work. I use the answers provided here as a general aid in my understanding. I do all my own work and do not copy work provided by people answering my question. Code snippet comments in code formatting break the formatting of the post I was surfing the internet the other day when I found this phrase: Instead your precious time and attention is wasted. To my ears, it sounds wrong. But I'm not a native English speaker, so I consulted with a number of them, and some of them said that it was "is" because the adjective modifies only the noun "time" and not "attention". Others said it "is" because that's just how it is. But I still believe it should be "are". Any help is appreciated. SEDE logs me out more often than it used to do I'm pretty sure that since a month or so,  seems much more eager to get rid of my session and log me out in that process. I don't mind logging in a couple of times per day, if that helps to reduce resource consumption, but the user experience isn't all that great when it happens. Here is why: I'm most often in the middle of writing a query for an MSE question, for example . So I have the edit window open and am creating a new revision of my query. When I click &quot;run,&quot; I do notice the button gets grayed-out, as it normally does, but I never get any result back. There is also no error message. To recover from this I have to copy the SQL text I have typed, open a new tab and load SEDE, log in, switch back to the stalled tab, refresh, paste the SQL text, run query. Repeat the process after 10 minutes. If the intended behavior is to log users out of their session on such short notice (I recall sessions lived for 24 hours), can there then be a slightly better handling in the browser of that state, so it is clear you're logged out once you click the run button? I prefer, however, to have the longer allowed sessions back. I'm experiencing this behavior mostly in Chrome on Win 10. Can suspended users post comments? Get notifications? What happens to their reputation? Work out the type of c# application a class contained in a DLL is being used by Is there any way to know in C# the type of application that is running.  Windows Service ASP.NET Windows Form Console  I would like to react to the application type but cannot find a way to determine it. Add an "I don't understand" option for review audits Looking for title/author of SF novel about malevolent creatures/gods residing inside stars I've seen examples like this:   public class MaxSeconds {    public static final int MAX_SECONDS = 25; }   and supposed that I could have a Constants class to wrap constants in, declaring them static final. I know practically no Java at all and am wondering if this is the best way to create constants. I checked yesterday and today the new homepage in the Android app. Very surprised I saw that I would almost reach a silver tag badge, that confused be because I always take a look on possible badges I can get. However I compared the score with the website and I got a total different results. See this two screenshots: Map composer issue Last Logon Time of All Users - RDP server not on a domain I am attempting to get a list of "last logon time" of "all users" on Windows Server 2012, but currently only know of how to list a single user login, which is:  net user username | findstr /B /C:"Last logon"  Any ideas?  *P.S. This servers only purpose is to host the RDP connections; not tied to a domain/AD. What is a decoupling capacitor (or smoothing capacitor as referred to in the link below)?  How do I know if I need one and if so, what size and where it needs to go?    mentions many chips needing one between VCC and GND; how do I know if a specific chip is one?   Would an  4-bit parallel access shift register used with an Arduino need one? (To use my current project as an example) Why or why not?  I feel like I'm starting to understand the basics of resistors and some places they're used, what values should be used in said places, etc, and I'd like to understand capacitors at the basic level as well. What are good books for graduates/undergraduates in Astrophysics? There are no book recommendations for Astrophysics here. I will write my own answer, but I am also interested in what are others' views on the question (I will NOT mark my own answer as the best one). Here’s something that sucks:   Plug in external monitor to laptop (Mac OS X Leopard in my case). Arrange your windows to have the IDE on one screen and browser on another. (Etc etc.  Resize, rearrange, fuss, fuss, fuss.) Unplug monitor to run to a meeting, or whatever. Goto 1.   I’d like to replace step 2 with “computer remembers exactly how I had it and just puts it back that way”.  (I personally only need a solution for Mac but collecting solutions for other systems here might be useful to others.  I’m sure it’s a common problem.)
