Does code allow reducing wire size in a circuit?
Can different gauge wiring be used in the same circuit?
Recovering broken or deleted NTFS partitions Removing an Ubuntu installation I first had windwos 7, then I installed Ubuntu alongside and when my laptop starts I can choose between ubuntu and windows (the ubuntu boot screen) .  Now I have installed another ubuntu inside the windows 7 using virtual box. I want to remove that first ubuntu installation and free up its partiotion. Can I do it without making any problems for the windows and boot screen? How does Apple AppStore rank search results? Serial voteup someone you learn from Difficult variation of the committee problem Get a generic method without using GetMethods I want to get the method System.Linq.Queryable.OrderyBy&lt;T, TKey&gt;(the IQueryable&lt;T&gt; source, Expression&lt;Func&lt;T,TKey&gt;&gt; keySelector) method, but I keep coming up with nulls.  var type = typeof(T); var propertyInfo = type.GetProperty(group.PropertyName); var propertyType = propertyInfo.PropertyType;  var sorterType = typeof(Func&lt;,&gt;).MakeGenericType(type, propertyType); var expressionType = typeof(Expression&lt;&gt;).MakeGenericType(sorterType);  var queryType = typeof(IQueryable&lt;T&gt;);  var orderBy = typeof(System.Linq.Queryable).GetMethod("OrderBy", new[] { queryType, expressionType }); /// is always null.   Does anyone have any insight? I would prefer to not loop through the GetMethods result. Let $\mu$ be a general measure, suppose $f,g$ has compact support on $\mathbb{R}$, when does the integration by parts formula hold $$\int f'g d\mu = - \int g'fd\mu?$$ I know in general this is false, we can take $\mu$ to be supported on a point, say $0$, then it is not necessarily true that  $$f'(0)g(0) = -g'(0)f(0).$$  If $\mu$ is absolute continuous w.r.t. Lebesgue measure, we have $\frac{d\mu}{dx} = h$ $$\int f'gd\mu = \int f'gh dx = -\int f(gh)'dx$$ where $(gh)'dx$ might be a measure. but we can not recover the form $\int g'fh dx$.  Thank you very much! Can I tap a creature with summoning sickness to pay "tap an untapped creature you control" costs? I have a  on the battlefield and I played a vampire earlier this turn. Can I tap both to transform Chosen of Markov even though I just played the vampire?  Extra Example: I play  to put two 1/1 white bird tokens into play. Can I now tap a both of them and another creature I control to pay Battle Screech's flashback cost of tapping three white creatures?   Obviously these creatures couldn't use any tap abilities until my next turn, but since the tapping is coming from a different source, I figured the situation might be different. Initializing a member array in constructor initializer Direct Link to a Comment The increase in the character limit of comments has led them to become as important as the questions and answers that spawn them. On several occasions (especially on meta) I've found reason to want to link to a comment directly. I'd imagine something as simple as making the date / time stamp an anchored link which mimics the behavior of the question link. Make a failed SSH forward a fatal error I have a script which connects to a remote host to replicate some files via SSH.  I must connect to an rsync daemon listening on port 873.  To accomplish this I have a ssh configuration like this.  Host blah     LocalForward 10873 127.0.0.1:873     Hostname 10.2.4.1   Unfortunately because of the timing of this script, there is a small chance that on occasion when it attempts to establish the SSH session another similar script will have the port open to a different host.  If I connect while another ssh session is open I get the obvious message Address already in use.  me@local:~$ ssh blah bind: Address already in use channel_setup_fwd_listener: cannot listen to port: 10873 Could not request local forwarding. Linux remote 2.6.26-2-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Jan 25 05:59:43 UTC 2011 x86_64 motd... remote:~$    What I want to have happen is to have the SSH client immediately exit with a exit code so I can put some logic into my script to report a failure instead of trying to run any commands against the port forwarded to the incorrect host. How to replace a string on the 5th line of multiple text files? I want to replace the 5th line of multiple text files (file1.txt,file2.txt,file3.txt,file4.txt) with the string " Good Morning " using a single terminal command.  All the text files are located on my ~/Desktop.  Note: My desktop consists of 6 .txt files.I want to apply the change to above mentioned 4 text files only. Spider-Man is the one franchise that is on course to a third reboot in a span of 15 years.   My question is what was the reason for these numerous reboots of Spider-Man which pretty much follow the same origin story for the Marvel superhero.  Has the comic creator or studio ever spoken out about the reasoning behind the same? Recommendations for good Newtonian mechanics and kinematics books What are some good books for learning the concepts of Kinematics, Newton laws, 2D Motion of Object etc.? Animated textures don't work in Blender viewport playback I can't get grub menu to show up during boot How do I install transition molding between my new hardwood and existing tile floors? I have ripped out some old carpet and am preparing to install a new solid hardwood floor myself.  In several places, the floor transitions to an existing tile floor.  The hardwood floor guys told me the best transition between the two is a T molding.  You simply leave a gap between the two floors, and then place down the T molding between the two floors, so it sits on both surfaces.  Sounds simple enough.  However, the height difference of the two floors is considerable, and the T molding does not sit flush.  What are my options?  Here is a diagram showing the dimensions.      NOTE:  Using the T molding is not a requirement, I could go some other route if there is a better option. I have to prove that this is a metric: $$d(x,y):=\sum_{i=0}^\infty \frac{|x_i -y_i|}{2^i (1+|x_i-y_i|)}$$  The only thing that I can't prove is the triangle inequality, it's really hard. I know that $|x_i -y_i|\le |x_i -z_i|+|z_i -y_i|$, and I want to get: $$\frac{1}{2^i (1+|x_i-y_i|)} \le \frac{1}{2^i (1+|x_i-z_i|)}+\frac{1}{2^i (1+|z_i-y_i|)}$$ (I think...) The closest thing I've got is: $2^i (1+|x_i-y_i|)\le 2^i (1+|x_i-z_i|)+2^i (1+|z_i-y_i|)$ but... that's not quite what i want. I don't know how to get this... Increase progress bar each second -- error This is what we are taught: $$5^{-2} = \left({\frac{1}{5}}\right)^{2}$$  but I don't understand why we take the inverse of the base when we have a negative exponent.  Can anyone explain why?
