Respawning the Ender Dragon
is $\sqrt{x}$ always positive? Where to get 2010 Census Block data? I would like to download 2010 Census Block Data for several towns and I can't seem to find it on American Factfinder.   Is it there? And if not, does anyone know where I could find it? let $x,y,z,w&gt;0$,show that $$(x+y)^3+(y+z)^3+(z+w)^3+(w+x)^3\ge 8(x^2y+y^2z+z^2w+w^2x)$$  it seem use AM-GM inequality to solve it,But I can't it,Thanks I resized the root partition with GParted, from 20 GB to 40 GB, but the filesystem still reports a size of 20 GB.  How can I use all 40 GB?    Update  The resized partition was an LVM Physical Volume (/dev/sda2), and the boot partition is ext4 (/dev/sda1). Find the set of $x>0$ such that the series $\sum\limits_n x^{\ln{n}}$ converges If $x&gt;0$, find the set of all values of $x$ such that series is convergent$$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} x^{\ln{n}}$$   My attempt:- I used Ratio test for finding the set of all values of $x$ such that series is convergent.   $$\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{x^{\ln{n+1}}}{x^{\ln{n}}}$$  $$=\lim_{x\to\infty}x^{\ln\frac{n+1}{n}}$$ This quantity must be less than one for getting a convergent series, I am not able to judge. Can you please help me to find the interval of convergence? I am attempting to settle a friendly bet.  Would a pendulum swing indefinitely in a hypothetical vacuum (i.e. no air resistance) having a hypothetical frictionless bearing (i.e. no energy lost due to friction) assuming the following   The frictionless vacuum is on Earth (9.8 m/s^2). The pendulum is already in motion and no other external forces other than gravity act on the pendulum. How do I resize my partition in Ubuntu? I had Windows 8 installed on my system, which I screwed up, and now I run Ubuntu 12.04. While installing, Ubuntu used all the 461 GB of HDD space (one partition).   Now I want to make a new partition of maybe 100 GB or so, in order to install Windows 7 alongside Ubuntu (with a dual-boot). But I can't even get a partition done. I can't change the partition in GParted either - the option is disabled. Clicking leave closed shows the reopen pop-up One word for things that would be nice to have, but not required to have? Grandi's Series; tends to $1/2$, but why is this considered a valid sum? Grandi's series,  $$1+1-1+1-1+1-1+...$$  can be expressed as the below:  $$\sum_{n=0}^\infty(-1)^n$$  Two valid sums that make sense to me are $1$, and $0$, depending on how you approach the series. $(1+1)-(1+1)-(1+1)-...=0$, and $1+(1-1)+(1-1)+(1-1)+...=1$.  There is consensus, however, that the actual sum is $\frac{1}{2}$. Why? I understand the approach of finding partial means of the series, and they do indeed tend to $\frac{1}{2}$, but it seems unintuitive to assert that the sum is neither $1$ or $0$.  A more convincing method I found was assuming the series is $S$, then shifting it such that $S-1 = S$, then through algebra finding $S = \frac{1}{2}$, but again, it seems more intuitive answer is either $0$ or $1$. I say this strictly because adding and subtracting integers should equal an integer, never a fraction.  Is this a characteristic of infinite series, which is not specific to Grandi's series? How to get back a declined Outlook invitation Is there a reliable way to determine the OS upgrade history leading to Windows 10 or if it was a fresh install? How to validate an email address using a regular expression? I cannot find these strings using Transifex:      (name hidden from user)       Regards,   {site name} Moderation Team          There is  and it seems like this string does not work ok (it is translated and approved, but, unfortunately, not rendered on the site).   All of the strings are taken from Moderator Private Messages interface.   Could you please fix it? double perpendicular symbol (for independence) I found from  that I could use the independence symbol:     \newcommand\independent{\protect\mathpalette{\protect\independenT}{\perp}} \def\independenT#1#2{\mathrel{\rlap{$#1#2$}\mkern2mu{#1#2}}}    I was wondering how this works. Can anybody explain? I don't know the commands mathpalette, rlap, and mkern2mu. Is speed of light and sound rational or irrational in nature? Just as circumference of circle will remain $\pi$ for unit diameter, no matter what standard unit we take, are the speeds of light and sound irrational or rational in nature ?   I'm talking about theoretical speeds and not empirical, which of course are rational numbers. Show that if $a \neq b$ and a and b are positive then $\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}$ is never an integer I’m going to Germany for a semester exchange and I have a long-stay visa from Germany. Can I travel to the other Schengen states during this period with this visa or do I have to apply for a separate short stay Schengen visa?  My visa is German national visa type D. It is for a duration of 4 months, i.e., longer than 90 days. It says on the visa that the long stay visa is valid in Deutschland, which is different from my earlier visa, which I had when I visited Germany earlier; that one was a short stay visa and said it was valid in Schengen Staten.  Perhaps my current visa means that I can stay in Germany for a period of longer that 90 days can visit the other Schengen states if I don’t exceed the 90 day period. Introduce a  "general reference" close reason There is a certain amount of questions that are absolutely trivial in nature: How to format a date, how to concatenate a string, et cetera. Questions that could be solved by taking a look into the manual.  Random examples from the tags I frequent:                What those OPs need is a link to the right manual, which we should give them. But the question serves no purpose. They don't even have a use by being searchable,  because any sane search query would lead to the actual manual as the first hit.  Jeff discusses the possibility of introducing a new close reason for this over at  According to Robert's suggestion there, it could go like this:     general reference: this question is too basic; the answer is indexed in any number of general internet reference sources designed specifically to find that type of information.   Please please implement this.  Add a field (like the "enter duplicate ID here" popup) for users to suggest the correct manual link:    The suggested links would then be shown in a block in the top section of the question, like duplicate links.   Also, the amount of reputation earnable from these trivial questions is appalling. I'm sure a great portion of most high-rep users' points (including mine) is from answering "what was that function for replacing a string again?" type questions. This dilutes the value of reputation as a measure of true expertise a great deal.  I would suggest that answers to questions that get closed as "general reference" are made community wiki retroactively, taking away any reputation earned. Why do you cast downvotes on answers?
