Assigning Multiple Cores to a Python Program Request Web Page in c# spoofing the Host I need to create a request for a web page delivered to our web sites, but I need to be able to set the host header information too.  I have tried this using HttpWebRequest, but the Header information is read only (Or at least the Host part of it is).  I need to do this because we want to perform the initial request for a page before the user can.  We have 10 web server which are load balanced, so we need to request the file from each of the web servers.    I have tried the following:  HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://192.168.1.5/filename.htm"); request.Headers.Set("Host", "www.mywebsite.com"); WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();   Obviously this does not work, as I can't update the header, and I don't know if this is indeed the right way to do it. CSS to make HTML page footer stay at bottom of the page with a minimum height, but not overlap the page I have the following page (deadlink: http://www.workingstorage.com/Sample.htm ) that has a footer which I can't make sit at the bottom of the page. I want the footer to  stick to the window bottom when the page is short and the screen is not filled, and stay at the document end and move down as normal when there is more than a screenful of content (instead of overlapping the content).  The CSS is inherited and befuddles me. I can't seem to change it properly to put a minimum height on the content or make the footer go to the bottom. For some of the apps I've developed (then proceeded to forget about), I've been writing plain SQL, primarily for MySQL.  Though I have used ORMs in python like , I didn't stick with them for long.  Usually it was either the documentation or complexity (from my point of view) holding me back.  I see it like this: use an ORM for portability, plain SQL if it's just going to be using one type of database. I'm really looking for advice on when to use an ORM or SQL when developing an app that needs database support.  Thinking about it, it would be far better to just use a lightweight wrapper to handle database inconsistencies vs. using an ORM. Why was my flag declined? I've recently flagged the following , which I got in the flag queue.   The answer does not seem to attempt to address the question at all. It looks like a comment on one of the other answers (probably Luca's).  It got rejected with the following reason:  declined - flags should not be used to indicate technical inaccuracies,            or an altogether wrong answer   I did not flag this because I thought it was wrong, I flagged it because I didn't think it was an attempt to answer the question. For what it's worth, I don't get what the guy who provided that answer even tried to say.  Was I wrong to flag it? If so why? I just started trying to undestand the notion of stationary in time series. Basically I have 2 questions:  Can stationary time series contain regulary cycles and thus seasonality patterns? For exmaple in this tutorial it is stated that stationary time series can not have seasonal components (predicitable cycles)  whereas in this figures () the green time series that clearly has cycles (and thus seasonality) is labeled as 'stationary' (and I have seen these kind of figures quite often if you just google 'stationary time series) Can a stationary time series have periods with no fluctuations and periods with high fluctuations? As far as I understood the variance and the (aut)covarianz should not change over time making such a time series not stationary. But here in this picture () the time series below is labeld as stationary altough it has periods with changing fluctuations.  I hope you can help me as I am confused about the concept of stationarity. I'd appreciate every comment. The bounty is to expire quite soon. So I'd be happy if some could at least give me one answer to my questions. It will help me a lot. Why is nobody answering the questions? Are they not clear enough? If so, please tell me. I think they are important and fundamental as the concept of stationarity is quite important. How do I remove repeated elements from ArrayList?

My icons seem to disappear randomly on my Windows 7. They were there a while back, now they ain't.  It happens often and quite randomly. Anyone know a fix? @class vs. #import Stop iPhone alerting me when I'm in a phone call When I'm in a phone call, I still get alerts for emails and texts. The noise will play and, if the phone is on Speaker, it will vibrate -- often leading the person I'm talking to wonder what that weird noise was.  Surely there must be a way to silence the phone while you're talking on it. It's very distracting to have beepings going off right next to your ear! Adding Basemaps from Google or Bing in QGIS I am trying to solve a problem from Stanley's book, it says:  Fix $k,n \in \mathbb{P}$. Show that: \begin{align} \sum a_1 a_2 \cdots a_k = \binom{n+k-1}{2k-1} \end{align} where the sum ranges over all compositions $(a_1 , a_2 , \ldots , a_k)$ of $n$ into $k$ parts.  I am trying to reason like this:  we need to find the coefficient $c_n = \sum a_1 a_2 \cdots a_k$ from this generating function --  \begin{align} \sum_n c_n x^n &amp;= \sum_n \sum a_1 a_2 \cdots a_k x^n \\  &amp;= \sum_n \sum a_1 a_2 \cdots a_k x^{a_1 + a_2 + \cdots + a_k}\\ &amp;= \sum_n \sum a_1x^{a_1} a_2x^{a_2} \cdots a_kx^{a_k} \end{align}  after that, I have no clue, how do I solve this ?   moreover, what is the range in the inner sum ?    If we consider Mark Riedel's answer, and assume $n=4$, $k=2$; then the sum will be  \begin{align} \sum (z + 2z^2)^2 = z^2 + 4z^3 + 4z^4 \end{align}  On the other hand the compositions will be $(1,3), (2,2), (3,1)$, therefore the above sum will be counted as:  \begin{align} (1.3)z^{1+3} + (2.2)z^{2+2} + (3.1)z^{3+1} &amp;= 1z^1.3z^3 + 2z^2.2z^2 + 3z^3.1z^1\\  &amp;= 3z^4 + 4z^4 + 3z^4 = 10z^4 \end{align}   what's going on? what am I missing? Is the usage of text embedded in an image a bad practice, for very controlled uses? What are your thoughts on writing your text in images?  I'm not saying throughout the whole website... But in certain key locations like image carousels. And I'm not talking about the special cases where you have font types that browsers can't render. I'm talking about text that uses standard fonts and is not too big (3/4 bullets).  Should I embed the text in the images that compose the carousel? Or should I apply the text to the images as "real text" HTML?  What are the advantages/ disadvantages of using text in an image? Reason behind choosing the compensating resistor for input bias current in op amps I found the following explanation online on determining the values used for the compensating resistor:  In either case, the compensating resistor value is determined by calculating the parallel resistance value of R1 and R2. Why is the value equal to the parallel equivalent of R1 and R2? When using the Superposition Theorem to figure how much voltage drop will be produced by the inverting (-) input's bias current, we treat the bias current as though it were coming from a current source inside the op-amp and short-circuit all voltage sources (Vin and Vout). This gives two parallel paths for bias current (through R1 and through R2, both to ground). We want to duplicate the bias current's effect on the noninverting (+) input, so the resistor value we choose to insert in series with that input needs to be equal to R1 in parallel with R2.  Although it is a 'crisp' and simple explanation, I don't understand how it is true, since the current flowing through R2 won't directly go to the ground, but will probably enter the op-amp at the output (op-amp as a current sink). Also, it might go through a few more resistances before going to the ground, since Vout isn't directly connected to the ground. Charging lead-acid batteries?
