What do we know about black hole and its existence?
Direct observations of a black hole?
My specific question is with the ASUS M3N78-VM motherboard that my home server uses. I currently have 4x2GB installed for a total of 8GB but I was hoping to upgrade to say 16GB (4x4GB). The official specifications of that motherboard says it only supports up to 8GB but it was released back when only 2GB sticks were available. What, if any, would prevent it from working with 4GB sticks now that 4GB sticks are available?  My general question is with motherboards in general... what would prevent a motherboard from working with bigger sticks if its all just the same type (DDR2 for example and same speeds) of memory? Restore console session after remote desktop disconnects? I'm splitting a string by three different characters but I want the output to include the characters I split by. Is there any easy way to do this? Possible to bake texture to new UV map? If HTML, CSS, and Javascript are client-side, why are they components of a PHP file? I was wondering if there is a viable place on Stack Exchange to ask economics-related questions.  Questions I'd have in particular could be equation-based or theoretical.  I suppose the equation-based questions could possibly fit into mathematics but I haven't checked their FAQ. How to check battery temperature? How do I know the normal temperature of it?  My OS is Ubuntu, and my laptop is Lenovo G470.  Output of acpi -t:  Thermal 0: ok, 0.0 degrees C Find all the numbers $n$ such that $\frac{4n-5}{60-12n}$ can't be reduced. If $\sigma_n=\frac{s_1+s_2+\cdots+s_n}{n}$ then $\operatorname{{lim sup}}\sigma_n \leq \operatorname{lim sup} s_n$ This is a question from the book Methods of Real Analysis by R. R. Goldberg.     If $(s_n)$ is a sequence of real numbers and if $$\sigma_n=\frac{s_1+s_2+\cdots+s_n}{n}$$ then prove that: $\operatorname{{lim sup}}\sigma_n \leq \operatorname{lim sup} s_n$.   I don't have any idea how to start working on this problem. Please help. Thanks. Using apostrophes correctly I've read a great article about the . But there are still some points that are unclear.  Why do we say...   school project but not school's project? car service but not car's service or even cars' service (plural form)? apostrophe usage but not apostrophe's usage or apostrophes' usage? I'm trying to understand the UMP of the product functor as right adjoint to the diagonal functor but I'm having difficulties understanding the notation in Steve Awodey's . On page 210 he uses $(f_1, f_2)$, $\langle f_1, f_2 \rangle$ and $(f_1 \times f_2)$ all within one paragraph. What are those? How are these defined and how do they differ? How does a cell phone charger work? Writing comments in QGIS Graphical Modeler I want to explain my model step by step so anyone can easely understand what's going on. So, is it possible to write comments in the QGIS's Graphical Modeler? I found Minecraft's marvelous large worlds extremely slow to navigate, even with a quad core and meaty graphics card.  I assume Minecraft's slowness comes from:   Java, as spatial partitioning and memory management are faster in native C++. Weak world partitioning.   I could be wrong on both assumptions. However, this got me thinking about the best way to manage large voxel worlds. As it is a true 3D world, where a block can exist in any part of the world, it is basically a big 3D array [x][y][z], where each block in the world has a type (i.e BlockType.Empty = 0, BlockType.Dirt = 1, etc.)  I assume that to make this sort of world perform well, you would need to:   Use a tree of some variety (//) to split all the cubes out; it seems like an oct/kd would be the better option, as you can just partition on a per cube level not a per triangle level. Use some algorithm to work out which blocks can currently be seen, as blocks closer to the user could obfuscate the blocks behind, making it pointless to render them. Keep the block object themselves lightweight, so it is quick to add and remove them from the trees.   I guess there is no right answer to this, but I would be interested to see peoples' opinions on the subject.  How would you improve performance in a large voxel-based world? Integration by partial fractions; how and why does it work? Could someone take me through the steps of decomposing  $$\frac{2x^2+11x}{x^2+11x+30}$$ into partial fractions?   More generally, how does one use partial fractions to compute integrals $$\int\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)}\,dx$$ of rational functions ($P(x)$ and $Q(x)$ are polynomials) ?    This question is asked in an effort to cut down on duplicates. See .  Also see . is it possible to combine two fields in one and use that field to group by in reports? for example, i would like to combine ee id and ee name fields in 1 and show as 1 field in the "group by" section on reports. Allow the user to hide its own reputation value and/or badges similarly as visible on wiki pages. If the visitor wants to know your reputation, he/she has to view it on your user page.  Scenarios why to do it:   You have so much rep/badge, that your name gets recognized wherever you post You want to be just helpful and you show this by not advertising how 'good repped' you are, but rather focus on a good answer Implicit 'reputation' by name within the community - same as in the real world   Scenarios why not to do it:   Could impose transparency problems regarding to the site's basic concepts Hard to implement on a per user basis Concerns about showing/hiding it in the question part or in answers.   Discussion welcome.  Follow-up to  of mine. Is it possible, on Debian with Klipper running, to have a separate "clipboard stack" for a particular application?  I'd like the text that I copy in application Y not to be shared with all the other applications running.  All the solutions mentioned at  seems like overkill.
