Howto wildcard SELECT * to query all fields of objects in APEX? I have created sObject and I need all the fields and I have many. Is there a way I can directly get all of them rather then typing each one of them. How do I put text over symbols? This is difficult for me to explain, but how do I put words over a symbol? For instance, I want to add words over an equal sign. Anyone know the command/syntax for that?  Also adding ^ doesn't cut it..., I want the text to appear ON TOP. Determine device (iPhone, iPod Touch) with iOS Is there a way to determine the device running an application. I want to distinguish between iPhone and iPod Touch, if possible. How is canon determined for the works set in the world of ASOIAF? Simple explanation to the induction from the slowly changing $\vec B$ of a solenoid in the region of $0$ magnetic field My system is not dual-boot, I run a standard Ubuntu desktop system "on the metal" (I think running it in a VM is the same).  Pressing c while booting does not cause the GRUB menu to appear (which I believe it does for a dual-boot system).  How can I get the GRUB-menu to present itself on a single-boot system? Suppose my speed is normally 30 feet. I get hit with a Slow spell, reducing my speed to 15 feet, and then I get knocked prone. How many feet of movement do I need to spend in order to stand back up from prone? How many feet of movement do I have left over once I've stood up?  What if I am also hit with a Ray of Frost spell while slowed, reducing my speed to 5 feet for 1 round? Am I able to stand up at all? Suppose $\sqrt6 = \frac pq$ where $p$ and $q$ have no common factors.  $$6 = \frac {p^2}{q^2}$$  $$6p^2 = q^2$$  So $q^2$ and therefore $q$ is divisible by $6$.   $$p^2 = \frac {q^2}{6}$$  So $p^2$ and therefore $p$ is divisible by $6$.   S0, $p$ and $q$ have a common factor $6$. Contradiction.  Therefore $\sqrt6$ is irrational.  Does the proof work? Why would I buy a bond with a negative yield? The only reason that I can think of is because I expect the bond to appreciate in price thus offsetting the loss in yield. I could still end up with less money than I started with, if I hold the bond until maturity. Ultimately, the only scenario where I would want to buy a bond with a negative yield is because I anticipate deflation and even lower rates in the future. Is this correct, or is there another reason?  Currently, a lot of the global government bond market is trading on negative yield, and there are even some corporate bonds that are too. Why don't we read ''k'' here?  Know → /nəʊ/   Knotty → /ˈnɒt.i/   Knockout → /ˈnɒk.aʊt/ Can I prevent others from editing my question? edited my question,  where I specifically said that our software sending back stacktrace to one of our servers was a user-known public feature.  He then modified the title of my post, along with the entire content, making it sound like I snuck in the feature and that our application was phoning home without our users knowing.    I specifically wrote in the original post that the feature was not sneaky. He completely changed the meaning of my post. I find this to be rather unacceptable.  A few questions:   Is it possible to prevent editing of my posts? How can I retaliate? Can I file a complaint?   Can people with  do anything they want on Stack Overflow? On Latin.SE, I am getting a 404 error when clicking any of the three "history" links on the .  That is, this:        Gives this:        All three editable sections have a revision history with two revisions or more, and all three give an error.  The actual links are , , and . How do I spamtrap with Postfix? How do I setup spamtraps with Postfix so clients that send to trapped addresses are prevented from sending me more spam? In FHS-2.3, we have /media that holds mount points for removable media such as CD-ROMs and we have /mnt that holds temporarily mounted filesystems.  On the other hand, we have /run/media and /run/mount. For me, the CDs and USBs are mounted on /run/media.  I don't see any clear distinction between them(/media, /mnt, /run/mount) . What are their differences?     I have seen similar trend (mount on /run/media) in fedora 20 - GNOME 3.10.4 and ubuntu 14.04.1 (installed on virtual box) with GNOME 3.10.4. But when I plugged in a USB flash (with auto-mounter script) on a system with Centos 6 and GNOME 2.28.2 it was mounted on /media Why did Owen Chase not fire his harpoon at Moby Dick? In movie In the Heart of the Sea, when Owen Chase finally faces the big white whale (later named Moby Dick) with his harpoon, why does he not do it? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I am mainly working with 5V PIC circuits and now want to integrate a component (nRF24l01+) that needs a 3.3V supply.  As I have a box full of ~7V wall-warts, I normally use a 7805 or similar LDO regulator to power the circuit. Now I want to also get 3.3V without using a separate external supply.  I'm looking for guidance on the "right" way to do this. I think the options are:   Use a voltage divider on the output of my 5V regulator to get 3.3V Use a 3.3V LDO regulator fed directly from the 7V wall-wart   Use the output of the 5V regulator as input to a 3.3V regulator   I can see that all of these would work (would they?) and that option 3 seems to waste least power, but I don't know what gotchas might arise by chaining two regulators like this.  What things do I need to consider when making this choice? Command-line mv exclusion list Change all @username references in comments when a user changes their name? The fact that a user can change their name at will can lead to some confusion in the comments.  For instance, suppose a user named "foo" changes his name to "bar", all those comments signed by "foo" are now signed by "bar", but responses to "bar"'s comments still start with "@foo".  Could those "@foo" references in comments be changed to "@bar"?    A brief discussion on this has set me straight.  I didn't think it through.  Request withdrawn. Protons and Neutrons Overshoot Actual Mass? When I add up the mass of 6 protons and 6 neutrons in amu, I get a mass that is greater than the mass of carbon. I thought that it should be the other way around, because I have not including binding energy when I add up the mass of the protons and neutrons.  Proton: 1.007276466812 u  Neutron: 1.00866491600 u  6(1.007276466812)+6(1.00866491600)=12.099  Carbon: 12 u  Why is this so? What should I do before dual-booting Windows 7 and Debian on EFI?
