If the Earth is constantly accelerating at 9.8m/s^2, according to General Relativity, won't Earth's speed be constantly increasing towards infinity?
How can you accelerate without moving?
I used python add in to make a tool bar in Arcmap that edits features on a map. It works on a file geodatabase, but not on an ArcSDE version one. I've been getting an FDO error: 0. The solutions that I've found all involve opening a workspace, but I'm getting an error doing that as well. Here is the relevant portion of my code:          outFolderPath = r"U:\tempStuff"         outName = "Stuff.sde"         databasePlatform = "SQL_Server"         instance = "SQL Server"         arcpy.CreateDatabaseConnection_management(outFolderPath, outName,                                                   databasePlatform,                                                   instance)         print "Centroid of buidling:(%r,%r) Side length: %r" % (xCoordinate,                                                                 yCoordinate,                                                                 bob)         print "workspace is %r" % outName #outName is workspace          #Start edit session with an undo/redo stack then start         #edit operation         print "Starting editing"         edit = arcpy.da.Editor(outName) #outName is workspace Line 86         edit.startEditing(True, True)         edit.startOperation()          #stuff happens          cursor = arcpy.da.InsertCursor( fc, ["SHAPE@"])         cursor.insertRow([stuff])             #stop the edit operation and then save changes         edit.stopOperation()         edit.stopEditing(True)          del cursor         print "Building should be drawn"   This is the exact error I've been getting:  Traceback (most recent call last):   File "C:\Users\153289\AppData\Local\ESRI\Desktop10.3\AssemblyCache\{0BEF4E61-6332-4BCA-A908-959CA3C0B4E7}\leetScripts_addin.py", line 86, in onClick     edit = arcpy.da.Editor(outName)#outName is workspace RuntimeError: cannot open workspace   What's am I doing wrong in my code? I have a string User name (sales) and I want to extract the text between the brackets, how would I do this?   I suspect sub-string but I can't work out how to read until the closing bracket, the length of text will vary. rent a car, rent out a car, hire a car English not my native language. I'm trying to understand what would be correct in British English.  If I want to use a car for some time. I can say, "I want to rent a car". But from my knowledge there may be a  misunderstanding. I can say the same words if I want to give a car to someone to use for some time and I want to receive payment.  So what would be correct and not misunderstanding?   1) I want to use a car for some time = "I want to hire a car" 2) I want to give a car to someone to use for some time = "rent out a car"   Is my understanding correct? How do I add a DNS server via resolv.conf? Is /etc/resolv.conf useless in  (Precise Pangolin)?  I see that the DNS server information is stored in  now. The nmcli command line tool can list that for you.  If I want to add one more  server, will adding it to /etc/resolv.conf by using the resolvconf package help? Arc length parameterization lying on a sphere What is the difference between the Bash operators [[ vs [ vs ( vs ((? I am a little bit confused on what do these operators do differently when used in bash (brackets, double brackets, parenthesis and double parenthesis).  [[ , [ , ( , ((   I have seen people use them on if statements like this :  if [[condition]]  if [condition]  if ((condition))  if (condition) Why "hide" Luke from his father somewhere Anakin knows? In Episode II Anakin goes to the Lars homestead and meets his extended family. How would sending Luke there be "hidden" to Vader in any way? At least Leia had a random planet and family. At the end of my animation, the animation pauses a bit then loops again, how can I stop the slow pause, and let the loop work fluently? I'd like to emulate HTML's infinite page height using LaTeX/XeTeX, i.e. have the PDF pages grow higher until a manual \newpage is issued.  This could be emulated by setting a very large page height and using pdfcrop on the output (or just setting the page height manually), but I'd like a pure TeX variant and if possible support for footnotes etc at the bottom of the cropped page. Every finite set contains its supremum: proof improvement. Every finite subset of $\mathbb R$ contains its supremum (and its infimum)   Proof Let $A=\{a_1,...,a_n\}$ be a finite subset of $\mathbb{R}$. Since it is non-empty and it is bounded ($\max A$ is an upper bound), it has supremum, that is $\exists \sup A$ and by definition $\forall a \in A \;\, a \leq \sup A$. Let's suppose that $\sup A  \not\in A$ then, since $\max A \in A$ we have that $\max A &lt; \sup A$. But considering that $\mathbb Q$ is dense in $\mathbb R$ we can conclude that $\exists r \in \mathbb Q$ s.t. $\max A &lt; r &lt; \sup A$, but this is absurd since $r$ is an upper bound of $A$ and it is lower than the supremum. Necessarily, $\sup A\in A$.  Is there anything wrong? Is there any way to prove this without using density of $\mathbb Q$ or another property? Thanks in advance. I recentely tried to log-in / sign-up for  using my SE account (which works on ,  and sign-up here) but it showed me an OpenID related error.

The object is offset in both the X and the Z axes, though only the X axis says 1. No other modifiers are on it, no constraints, no locked axes, and I can't think of anything else that would affect this. How can I make it stop doing this? Is it possible to get the ID of a Contact which is part of a Person Account?  I have a custom object which has a custom field referencing the Person Account, though it seems to be referencing the Contact directly. I have created a button which I am using to pass the ID into a Visualforce Page.  With the Insert Field drop-down on the create/edit button page I can put in {!Account.Id} or {!Contact.Id} but neither of these work. The Account ID is placed in the URL but is not the correct ID and the Contact ID is blank, which I assume is because the button is on a Person Account page and not a Contact Page. I have a 3D truck model already textured and properly imported into Blender. This is a game model and I need to "re-paint" with design from other transport companies. The problem is that I don't have a UV layout (skin template) to serve as a guide for future paintings.  Is there a way to "extract" an UV Layout to .JPG or .PNG to serve as guide for .DDS texture editing?  Please note that I don't want to remap the model. I still want to use the actual UV Mapping and just need to edit the actual textures. Today I downloaded Ubuntu for my laptop. It runs great from a bootable USB, but when I tried to install it, I got the following error message: The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk:  [Errno 5] Input/output error  This is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard    disk. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower   speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often    available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard disk   is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler   environment.     I tried everything to install it on my laptop including redownloading the Ubuntu ISO image, but nothing worked. How can I remove the site URL from enqueued scripts and styles? I'm dealing with an SSL issue and I would like to strip the domain from all scripts and styles being output via wp_enqueue_scripts. This would result in all scripts and styles being displayed with a relative path from the domain root.  I imagine there is a hook that I can use to fileter this, however, I am not sure which one, nor how to go about it.
