Easy way to determine the virtualization technology of a Linux machine? Book where human thoughts are affecting the universe Basically our thoughts are ruining everything. Like when humans are taught stars are giant balls of gas. To the rest of the universe they aren't but humans think it and destroy alien planets. I think they come to seal us off from the rest of the universe. Is better healthcare a bane to the long-term survival of the human race? The theory of natural selection has it that individuals with better genes tend to survive and reproduce, passing their genes to their offspring. This gradual process results in a population more adapted at survival. However, due to the advancement in medical science, humans with poorer genes tend to survive and reproduce just as well.  For example, in the past, many people, excluding those with natural immunity due to some genetic mutations, would have succumbed to illnesses such as malaria and typhoid. But with better hygiene and medical treatment, these patients tend to survive.  Now, imagine a future where all illnesses including cancer can be treated. How would it impact the survival of the human race? Would we become more and more vulnerable such that our survival hinges heavily on medical technology, analogous to how an astronaut's survival is dependent on his spacesuit? How do you force constructor signatures and static methods? Is there a way of forcing a (child) class to have constructors with particular signatures or particular static methods in C# or Java?  You can't obviously use interfaces for this, and I know that it will have a limited usage. One instance in which I do find it useful is when you want to enforce some design guideline, for example:  Exceptions They should all have the four canonical constructors, but there is no way to enforce it. You have to rely on a tool like FxCop (C# case) to catch these.  Operators There is no contract that specifies that two classes can be summed (with operator+ in C#)  Is there any design pattern to work around this limitation? What construct could be added to the language to overcome this limitation in future versions of C# or Java? Can my familiar use a Ring of Spell Storing? Can the familiar options from the Pact of the Chain warlock (quasit, imp, sprite, pseudodragon) attune with a ring of spell storing?  If so, can I cast a spell requiring concentration into the ring and then have the familiar maintain concentration on the spell? Find all the numbers $n$ such that $\frac{4n-5}{60-12n}$ can't be reduced. I was browsing PhD position offers in Europe on different websites and I was quite surprised to find that several offers contained sentences such as     University of X value equality and diversity. We strongly encourage women and BAME applicants for this position.    where BAME stands for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnicities; or     The research group aims to increase the number of women in scientific positions. Female candidates are therefore encouraged to apply.   Is it considered normal in the academic environment to discriminate between  candidates according to their race and/or gender for "egalitarian" reasons?   How is the choice of a candidate based on their gender and/or race considered "egalitarian"? Optional argument after splat argument Do descriptive statistics have p-values? Lat Long to X Y Z position in JS .. not working Is it really incorrect to start a sentence with "and"? I know it's wrong, but I do it all the time or else my sentences would go on forever. I need another LP-E5 type battery for my Canon 450D. Should I buy an original Canon battery or one of the many generic brands available? There are loads of cheapos on , for example.  I should add that the new battery will be added to my existing Canon battery in a battery grip.  Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) of using generic batteries? Difference between regex [A-z] and [a-zA-Z] I was given a MySQL database file that I need to restore as a database on my Windows Server 2008 machine.  I tried using MySQL Administrator, but I got the following error:     The selected file was generated by   mysqldump and cannot be restored by   this application.   How do I get this working? How to install LXDM instead of GDM3? I'm running Debian Wheezy and my default Display Manager is GDM3, and I would like to replace it with LXDM. The problem is that I'm trying to run # apt-get install lxde and it's not working, what am I doing wrong?  My /etc/apt/sources.list is:  deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Wheezy_ - Official Snapshot i386 DVD Binar$  deb http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian wheezy main deb-src http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main  deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib I understand that the entrance pupil is the image of the aperture as seen from the front of the lens. However, is the size of the entrance pupil the same as the size of the effective aperture? In other words, if I measure the size of the entrance pupil by looking at it, will that be equivalent to the focal length of the lens divided by the f-number (with the focus set to infinity)? I know that sometimes this is hard to estimate because of the shape of the aperture blades, but I was wondering whether pupil and aperture can be quite different (perhaps at very low magnification). Amy: What day is it today?    Tom: It's Monday. Hmm... I like Monday.   Amy: What do you have today?   Tom: We have math, science and art.What about you?   Amy: We have English and P.E. What do you have tomorrow?    Tom: We have art and P.E.tomorrow.    Amy: Oh, great.      I can understand that "What about you" means "What do you have today?"  But I wonder whether "What about you" is an elliptical sentence. If it is, what is the full sentence? If it isn't, how to parse this structure? the composition was  defined as follow:  (a,b) \in (R;S) &lt;=&gt; there is c | (a,c) \in R  and (c,b) \in S .   If our two relations R and S are two convex polygon   Is there a geometric interpretation of the composition of two convex polygon ? for example :   the green polygon was the result of composition. How can i describe geometrically the result !!! In fact, of these, only Charcoal shows a recent time stamp. How many copies of the DeLorean time machine co-existed in the Back to the Future series?
