Since version 3.2, uTorrent displays ADs in the form of a "Featured Torrent" banner and a small square advertising in the sidebar. Is there a way to disable those? How to split a long regular expression into multiple lines in JavaScript? Possible Duplicate:          The square root of a number squared is equal to the absolute value of that number. Why is $\sqrt{x^2} = |x|$? Why not just $x$? Please give me a reason and also help me prove it. Origin of the meaning of joe How do I translate strings in Twig templates? How do I beat the Reaper on Rannoch? I'm having trouble with the last of the Rannoch missions, where Shep wakes up and takes on a Reaper.   Shepard has a targeting laser which will call in an orbital strike with the combined might of the Quarian Migrant Fleet, but there's two major problems standing between the commander and victory.   The Targeting Laser takes a while to power up. The Reaper is trying to kill you.   I can consistently avoid the Reaper's attacks for the first volley, but each time you hit it, the Reaper moves forwards, giving you less time to dodge future assaults. Is there some key to avoiding the Reaper's attacks? Strafing doesn't seem to be enough. URW-Garamond with mathdesign is typesetting vertical double-quote as vertical double-quote I just started using URW-Garamond with mathdesign, and it's typesetting straight double-quote character as a straight double-quote rather than a right double-quote.  How can I fix this?  That is, when I put this in my header:  \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[urw-garamond]{mathdesign}   I get a nice Garamond in my output, but " in my input file produces a Garamond version of the same character in the output.  If I use two single-quotes instead, it comes out properly as a double right-quote.  I could switch to typing '' or set up a macro, but this is undesirable for more than one reason.  Is there any way to use urw-garamond without this non-traditional behavior for "? How can I parse integers passed to an application as command line arguments if the app is unicode?  Unicode apps have a main like this:  int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])   argv[?] is a wchar_t*. That means i can't use atoi. How can I convert it to an integer? Is stringstream the best option? "Will + be + verb -ing)" vs "Will + verb" ? Can someone explain me the constructions (or however they are called) with the "Will + be + verb -ing)" and the "Will + verb" ? Integrating Factor Method. Why Can We Set the Constant of Integration to Zero? My textbook gives a demonstration of the use of the integrating factor method for solving first order ordinary differential equations:  $\dfrac{dx}{dt} + p(t)x = r(t)$  $\implies g(t)\dfrac{dx}{dt} + g(t)p(t)x = g(t)r(t)$  $\dfrac{d}{dt}[g(t)x]$  We use the product rule and compare the expression to the left-hand side of the above equation:  $g(t)\dfrac{dx}{dt} + \dfrac{dg}{dt}x = g(t)\dfrac{dx}{dt}+g(t)p(t)x$  $\therefore \dfrac{dg}{dt} = g(t)p(t)$  The above equation is separable.  $\therefore \int\dfrac{dg}{g(t)} = \int p(t) dt$  $\implies ln[g(t)] = \int p(t)dt$  My textbook then says that, "We can set the constant of integration to zero -- any function that satisfies $\dfrac{dg}{dt} = g(t)p(t)$ will do for our purposes". However, it gives no explanation as to why this is the case. Why can we set the constant of integration to zero? Why is any function that satisfied $\dfrac{dg}{dt} = g(t)p(t)$ appropriate for our purposes?  I would greatly appreciate it if people could please take the time to elaborate on this. How do you prove that $\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{5}$ is irrational?    I tried to prove it by contradiction and got this equation:  $a^2/b^2 = \sqrt{40}$. I've been reading a lot about the oxidative dissimilation etc, and often I see different sources use NADH and NADH2 in the same reactions. One source uses NADH and another uses NADH2 in the exact same way. Is there a difference or is it just a different name for the same substance? Quotient rings of Gaussian integers I used this isomorphism today but now I'm having trouble justifying it. The norm function isn't additive so I can't come up with a ring isomorphism to prove the following:     For any $\,a+bi\in\Bbb Z[i],\,\gcd(a,b)=1$, we have a ring isomorphism   $$\Bbb Z[i]/\langle a+bi\rangle\,\cong\Bbb Z/(a^2+b^2)\Bbb Z=:\Bbb Z_{a^2+b^2}.$$   Could someone show me an isomorphism between these rings to prove this? Given fields $M/E/F$, why does $[M:F] = [M:E][E:F]$? Let $M$ be a finite extension of $E$ and let $E$ be a finite extension of $F$. Then $M$ is a finite extension of $F$ and $[M:F] = [M:E][E:F]$.   Is there an easy explanation and/or proof for this theorem? My instructor gave an incomplete proof in class but got stuck and I'm kind of confused of what's going on. Visiting Greece with back-to-back Schengen visas (One from Germany, other from Italy) I'm in a conversation and I don't really want to leave because the people there keep adding me back so it's just whatever. But I would like to mute the conversation or something like I do on Facebook so I won't take notifications or anything from there unless I press on the group and see what's going on. Because for now I have my Skype having a new notifications every half a second.  Any solutions to that? What is the best technique to calculate a confidence interval of a binomial experiment, if your estimate is that $p=0$ (or similarly $p=1$) and sample size is relatively small, for example $n=25$? What I'm trying to understand is, to what degree does the status/rank of the University (where one completes his/her Ph.D) matter while shaping his/her career after graduation? I would like to know the weight given to one's school in both the following cases:   While applying for post-docs/faculty positions in academia While applying to industrial research labs   For instance, I've read on some forums (I can't locate the link now) that while considering prospective applications for tenure-track faculty positions, very few Universities accept a candidate who has completed his/her Ph.D from a lower ranked school having a lesser "brand" value, irrespective of the fact whether he/she has published equally original work as his/her counterpart from an Ivy league college. How much truth is in this statement? It would be really great if someone already in academia, either as a newly-accepted faculty or someone on the Faculty Hiring committee could share their experiences/statistics on this regard. I'm simply interested to know the answer, without commenting at all on whether such a practice is justifiable.  Similarly, what about recruitment to internationally acclaimed research labs (like  or ) - what importance do they place on the pedigree of a candidate's college, before taking into consideration what they published ?  I'm personally interested in answers related to the field of Computer Science (theory), but the question is applicable to any prospective grad student in any discipline in my opinion. Feel free to share your personal experiences post-Ph.D in detail, as that would give me (and future viewers of this question) about what its like to carve a career once you are out of school! Show that any prime ideal from such a ring is maximal. How to read off coefficients of tensor-like expression in a speedy way?
