Why Java method is not work,?
Is Java "pass-by-reference" or "pass-by-value"?
Problem with glossary I am copying the very first piece of code from  in order to create a glossary. While I get no problem in the compilation I do not get the "glossary part" that appears in the example. I literally copy paste.  Also, I want to create a document that only consists of a glossary of various terms. That is to put everything in alphabetical order (with the possibility to include references as well). How could I possibly do this? I tried some itemize options with alphabetical order but does not look that good. Can a full version of Ubuntu be Installed on a USB Drive? Debug JavaScript within IE6 How to recover a deleted file from /data partition? I factory reset my rooted Android M phone but now I realize that there was a file in the /data directory which I need.  Is it possible to create an image (.img or something similar) of the /data partition so that I could run some recovery software for ext4 on that image? I have a little knowledge about ADB. Does mass distribution/center of mass affect free fall? An everyday is example would be cars. If you were to drop a car, not taking air resistance into account, would a front-heavy car tumble forward as it fell? And a car with a perfect 50/50 front/rear weight distribution fall straight? Does mass distribution/center of mass affect free fall? Or would they both fall straight down without tumbling? Can you explain why please? What is it called when you use many words to describe the word you want to use? What is it called when you use many words to describe the word you want to use?  I know there is a technical word that's used in foreign language acquisition that means using many words to describe a word you don't know.  I'm doing it now, just talking and beating around the bush until someone can tell me the word I'm looking for. Why "would" instead of "will" in this sentence? The goal for these negotiations is to reach a mutually-agreed long-term comprehensive solution that would ensure Iranˈs nuclear program will be exclusively peaceful.    what does would imply here? If it implies future, why will has not been used?  A good link teaching would thoroughly would be really appreciated. Specially, distinguishing between the senses of would is not always easy. How to order the Ubuntu Phone? Yes, of course, I want that Ubuntu Phone.   Where is the order now button? I have found a strange behavior in TikZ. When using the \draw ... to ... syntax and trying to place nodes along the line with the node[...]{...} syntax, the nodes do not turn up at the expected location.  \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}   \draw(0,0) to[out=60,in=120] (1,0) node[midway]{x}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}     How is this done properly? I have a loop that is doing some error checking in my PHP code. Originally it looked something like this...  foreach($results as $result) {     if (!$condition) {         $halt = true;         ErrorHandler::addErrorToStack('Unexpected result.');     }      doSomething();  }  if (!$halt) {     // do what I want cos I know there was no error }   This works all well and good, but it is still looping through despite after one error it needn't. Is there a way to escape the loop? Can I have multiple primary keys in a single table? I'm always on the hunt for free stock images to use while I design, what are some good resources for images that are under a a royalty free or creative commons licence? Is it correct to say user accounts or users account when referring to the accounts any user has on a site like this one?  In general, in the case of a noun that is used as adjective for the noun that follows, is it better to use &lt;plural-noun&gt; &lt;singular-noun&gt; or &lt;singular-noun&gt; &lt;plural-noun&gt;? What exactly is a photon? Consider the question, .  The answers say, "an elementary particle" and not much else. They don't actually answer the question. Moreover, the question is flagged as a duplicate of,  &ndash; the answers there don't tell me what a photon is either. Nor do any of the answers to  mentioned in the comments. When I search on , I can't find anything useful. Questions such as,  look promising, but bear no fruit.  say things like, "the photon is an excitation of the photon field." That tells me  nothing. Nor does the , which says:     The photon is the quantum of the electromagnetic four-potential, and therefore the massless bosonic particle associated with the electromagnetic force, commonly also called the 'particle of light'...   I'd say that's less than helpful because it gives the impression that photons are forever popping into existence and flying back and forth exerting force. This same concept is in the  too - but it isn't true. As , "Virtual particles only exist in the mathematics of the model." So, who can tell me what a real photon is, or refer me to some kind of authoritative informative definition that is accepted and trusted by particle physicists? I say all this because I think it's of paramount importance. If we have no clear idea of what a photon actually is, we lack foundation. It's like what :     Photons seem to be one of the foundation ideas of quantum mechanics, so I am concerned that without a clear definition or set of concrete examples, the basis for understanding quantum experiments is a little fuzzy.   I second that, only more so. How can we understand pair production if we don't understand what the photon is? Or the electron? Or the electromagnetic field? Or everything else? It all starts with the photon.   I will give a 400-point bounty to the least-worst answer to the question. One answer will get the bounty, even if I don't like it. And the question is this:    What exactly is a photon? Setting Access-Control-Allow-Origin in ASP.Net MVC - simplest possible method Difference between declaring variables before or in loop? In a ring, I was trying to prove that for all $a$, $a0 = 0$.  But I found that this depended on a lemma, that is, for all $a$ and $b$, $a(-b) = -ab = (-a)b$.  I am wondering how to prove these directly from the definition of a ring.  Many thanks! `tail -f` until text is seen I've got a CI server with a command-line interface that allows me to remotely kick-off a job (jenkins CI server and the jenkins-cli.jar tool).  After I kick the job off I tail -f the log (sorry for the messy command):  ssh -t my-jenkins-host.com "tail -f \"/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/$job_name/builds/\`ls -ltr /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/$job_name/builds/ | grep '^l' | tail -n 1|awk '{print \$9}'\`/log\""   After the job successfully completes, usually after at least 5 minutes, I get the following line on the output:  Finished: SUCCESS   Is there a good way to stop tailing the log at this point? i.e. is there like a tail_until 'some line' my-file.log command?  BONUS: extra credit if you can supply an answer that returns 0 when SUCCESS is matched, 1 when FAILURE is matched, and your solution works on mac!
