Remove Sender name ( not email address) from outgoing Mac Mail
I want to make a JavaScript application that's not open source, and thus I wish to learn how to can obfuscate my JS code? Is this possible? Does 'rm .*' ever delete the parent directory? The expression .* is expanded by bash to include the current and parent directories:  $ ls -la total 2600 drwxrwxrwx   2 terdon terdon 2162688 Sep 10 16:22 . drwxr-xr-x 142 terdon terdon  491520 Sep 10 15:34 .. -rw-r--r--   1 terdon terdon       0 Sep 10 16:22 foo $ echo .* . ..   If I run rm -rf .* on my Debian using GNU bash, version 4.2.36(1)-release and rm from rm (GNU coreutils) 8.13, I get this message:  $ rm -rf .* rm: cannot remove directory: `.' rm: cannot remove directory: `..'   Is this a GNU thing or is it POSIX? Are there any *nix systems where the command above will silently delete . and ..?  Also, is this a safety feature of the shell or of the rm command itself? Is there any scientific experiment that can lead us to conclude we live in 3 spatial dimensions without the premise of the conception of limited dimensions?  Thank you all who helped in the improvement of this question (which was not clear at first).   EDIT:  I know that this can be a little philosophical, but it is also a scientific question.  Let's consider the scenario where the mankind was not ever able to see.  Let's also consider that this limitation could be surpassed thus not limiting us to reach a scientific and technological knowledge "similar" to what we have today.  Would this civilization of blind people reach the conclusion that they are living in a 3D spatial world?  Is the sense of touch enough to reach that conclusion? Is there any scientific experiment that can lead us to that conclusion without the premise of the conception of limited dimensions?  Would it be easier, harder, or just different to reach a conclusion predicted by the M-Theory? (please do not focus only on this last question) How to access the shared folder between two computers running ubuntu I have to computers running Ubuntu and I want to share files between those computer. these computers are already connected through a cross cable and sharing internet connection using firestarter. Both computers have samba installed.   In Desktop computer I have a shared folder How do I access it on the other one. Parenthesis vs brackets for matrices When I first learned linear algebra, both the professor and the book used brackets like [ and ] to enclose matrices. However, in my current differential equations textbook, matrices are enclosed by parenthesis, and I suddenly realize everybody else are using them too.  So are brackets/parenthesis for enclosing matrices always totally interchangeable? To whom was Yoda referring when he said, "There is another?" In the original trilogy Yoda refers to another hope:     Obi-Wan: "That boy is our last hope."   Yoda: "No...there is another..."   The assumption being after seeing Return of the Jedi (Episode VI) that the other was Leia.  If, however, you consider the prequel trilogy canon, then this assumption depends greatly on your point of view*. Obi Wan knows about Leia (and for unknown reasons has discounted her as a hope), so Yoda must be referring to someone or something else.  Is there any canonical source as to what Yoda meant, or was uncle George setting us up for Episode VII?  *as a wise man once said      you will find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on   our own point of view.   Just to add a bit of clarity: I was thinking about who Yoda was referring to when he was talking to Obi-Wan. When talking to Luke, it is obvious that Leia is the other (as he talks about a 'Skywalker'). It is not so obvious (after watching the prequel trilogy) that he means it when talking to Obi-Wan. Pressing Ctrl Alt NumPad 0 causes the camera to teleport over and align itself to the current view in the 3D viewport. However, it usually takes up only a small portion of the view, meaning that you have to move the camera back to fit the same view you had before. Is there a way to set the camera view to fill more of the 3D viewport when using this feature? I want to construct a complex power series with the radius of convergence $R=1$ that diverges in:  1) $k$ points on the circle $\{|z|=1\}$.  2) countable number of points on the circle  I have already crafted series that converges on the whole circle and diverges on the whole circle.  Can anybody help with the problem?  Update: I have googled a series $\sum{\frac{z^{kn}}{kn}}$ that is an answer for 1). Though I still need help for the countable case. Resize images in PHP without using third-party libraries? Tweak showlabels/showkeys - wrap the label SVN Error - Not a working copy Recently our svn server was changed and we did a svn switch.  Since the working copy had a huge amount of unversioned resources, the working copy got locked and we started switching folder by folder for all folders under svn, which works perfectly fine.  But at the top most level of the repository, when I try to update files, I get the svn: Working copy '.' locked error and cleanup is not helping either. When I do cleanup, I get errors like these - svn: 'content' is not a working copy directory  Fresh checkout is NOT an option at all. Are there any other ways to cleanup and release the locks and do the switch completely ?  EDIT:  The last paragraph in JesperE's answer     If you get a "not a working copy" when   doing a recursive "svn cleanup" my   guess is that you have a directory   which should be a working copy (i.e.   the .svn directory at the toplevel   says so), but it is missing its own   .svn directory. In that case, you   could try to just remove/move that   directory and then do a local update   seems to be the solution to the problem in the repository. I have identified those folders and did a fresh checkout of those specific folders alone and wow, the locks are released in the subsequent cleanup! Thanks a lot JesperE !!  But, I still cannot figure out the svn switch error which now reads something like,     svn: The repository at   'svn://repourl/reponame/foldername'   has uuid 'm/reponame', but the WC   has 'b5b39681-0ff6-784b-ad26-2846b9ea8e7d'   Any ideas ? This has come up    : migrating old questions causes problems.   The most popular solution to this to date has been to . This is do-able, but frankly it feels like treating a symptom, and doing so in a way that penalizes folks who answer what are by all appearances valid, on-topic questions.   Migration works best as a way to salvage good but off-topic questions and give them new life on a site where they can thrive. But shuffling old, answered, on-topic questions around for the hell of it is a waste of everyone's time.   Therefore, I think the real solution is much simpler: just disable the migration of old questions. They're rarely welcomed or heavily improved post-migration, often overtly disliked by folks on the destination site, and can end up causing a rather bad experience for folks who were participating in good faith on the original.   I suggest that questions older than 601 days should not be eligible for migration, either by normal user close-votes or by moderators. In extreme cases, we can perhaps provide an alternate means of moving old questions, but under normal circumstances these should be done quickly or not at all.   1 60 days is actually based on a  introduced this past spring: migrated and then rejected questions older than 60 days cause the authors to suddenly gain (permanent) reputation on the destination. I recently received an invitation to a conference and I'm trying to determine how reputable it is. Is there a good way to go about this? Any other words that use “dis-” as an amplifying prefix? I remember hearing once about the etymology of disgruntled, probably based around a joke about how people can not be gruntled. The explanation given was that there was never a word gruntled, rather the dis‑  in disgruntled is actually a usage of the old prefix where it acts like an amplifier.   Firstly, is this true?  Secondly, are there any other words that use this prefix in this way? How to prove the Fibonacci sum $\sum \limits_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{F_n}{p^n} = \frac{p}{p^2-p-1}$ Connecting MySql with Android without using PHP I'm hand-maintaining an HTML document, and I'm looking for a way to automatically insert a link around text in a table. Let me illustrate:  &lt;table&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="case"&gt;123456&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;   I would like to automatically make every text in a TD with class "case" a link to that case in our bug tracking system (which, incidentally, is FogBugz).  So I'd like that "123456" to be changed to a link of this form:  &lt;a href="http://bugs.example.com/fogbugz/default.php?123456"&gt;123456&lt;/a&gt;   Is that possible? I've played with the :before and :after pseudo-elements, but there doesn't seem to be a way to repeat the case number. Is accessing a variable in C# an atomic operation? I've been raised to believe that if multiple threads can access a variable, then all reads from and writes to that variable must be protected by synchronization code, such as a "lock" statement, because the processor might switch to another thread halfway through a write.  However, I was looking through System.Web.Security.Membership using Reflector and found code like this:  public static class Membership {     private static bool s_Initialized = false;     private static object s_lock = new object();     private static MembershipProvider s_Provider;      public static MembershipProvider Provider     {         get         {             Initialize();             return s_Provider;         }     }      private static void Initialize()     {         if (s_Initialized)             return;          lock(s_lock)         {             if (s_Initialized)                 return;              // Perform initialization...             s_Initialized = true;         }     } }   Why is the s_Initialized field read outside of the lock? Couldn't another thread be trying to write to it at the same time? Are reads and writes of variables atomic? Where should looking-for-resources questions go? Questions like looking for css templates, blog templates, icons ... In general, resources (let's leave the licensing terms aside for now) which you might need when building a project of your own. Where should those questions go?  They're definitely not on-topic on Stack', SuperUser maybe although I doubt it. Webapps? Hmm, probably not.  Is there a place where they would be on-topic on the SE network? Are "white" and "black" ever capitalized when referring to people?
