Now that I can answer my own question before I even ask it, how about reminding me to accept my own answer?

Does photon have size measurement because of its particle nature Does photon have size measurement because of its particle nature like electron's 3.86*10^-13m etc.. I have a variable, x, and I want to know whether it is pointing to a function or not.  I had hoped I could do something like:  &gt;&gt;&gt; isinstance(x, function)   But that gives me:  Traceback (most recent call last):   File "&lt;stdin&gt;", line 1, in ? NameError: name 'function' is not defined   The reason I picked that is because  &gt;&gt;&gt; type(x) &lt;type 'function'&gt; Continuous v. per-chapter/section numbering of figures, tables, and other document elements Some document elements (e.g., figures in the book class) are numbered per chapter (figure 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, ...). How can I achieve continuous numbering (figure 1, 2, 3, ...)?  And vice versa: Some document elements (e.g., figures in the article class) are numbered continuously. How can I achieve per-section numbering?  \documentclass{book}% for "vice versa" variant, replace `book` with `article`  \begin{document}  \chapter{foo}% for "vice versa" variant, replace `\chapter` with `\section`  \begin{figure} \centering \rule{1cm}{1cm}% placeholder for graphic \caption{A figure} \end{figure}  \end{document}   Bonus question: Is it possible to adjust the numbering of the sectioning headings themselves? Can I, e.g., switch from per-chapter to continuous numbering of sections in the book class? PDO SQL-state "00000" but still error? How can I synchronize my two Mac Computers? The range of $T^*$ is the orthogonal complement of $\ker(T)$ How can I prove that, if $V$ is a finite-dimensional vector space with inner product and $T$ a linear operator in $V$, then the range of $T^*$ is the orthogonal complement of the null space of $T$?  I know what I must do (for a $v$ in the range of $T^*$, I have to show that $v\perp w$ for every $w$ in $\ker(T)$ and then do the opposite), but I don't know how to show that this inner product is zero. When a divination wizard character uses their Portent ability:     Starting at 2nd level when you choose this school, glimpses of the   future begin to press in on your awareness. When you finish a long   rest, roll two d20s and record the numbers rolled. You can replace any   attack roll, saving throw, or ability check made by you or a creature   that you can see with one of these foretelling rolls. You must choose   to do so before the roll, and you can replace a roll in this way only   once per turn.   ... to replace a roll, can a player with the Lucky Feat:     Whenever you make an attack roll. an ability check, or a saving throw,   you can spend one luck point to roll an additional d20. You can choose   to spend one of your luck points after you roll the die, but before   the outcome is determined. You choose which of the d20s is used for   the attack roll, ability check, or saving throw.      You can also spend one luck point when an attack roll is made against   you. Roll a d20, and then choose whether the attack uses the attackers   roll or yours.      If more than one creature spends a luck point to influence the outcome   of a roll, the points cancel each other out; no additional dice are   rolled.   ... use the Luck Roll to replace the result? Or does the Portent trump all rolls and simply give you the final outcome?  This question spun off from  on .  Some relevant points:  .  Mike Mearls tends to believe that luck can triumph in some cases, but admits this is , and further seems to conflate the question with .  I would suggest reading the linked discussion before formulating an answer. There's some good thought there. I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04. If it makes any difference, my system is a Dell Inspiron 1520.   I encounter a problem whenever I shutdown or restart; it kills all running processes (as far as I can tell), but once I get past the shutdown text screen and the screen goes black,  my computer doesn't power off. The fans still run and the screen is still on, etc. I have to hold down the power button in order to complety shut down.   Does anyone know how to resolve this problem? Is there a system in place to prevent new users asking, answering and accepting answers to each others' off-topic questions? Why does ice make such peculiar sounds? I've come across a couple of videos where some interesting sounds are produced using ice.  (Click on the images to see the video.)      Here, they drop a block of ice into a deep crevice and as the block falls, you can hear some strange sounds. These sounds remind me of some sound effects in old cartoons and sci-fi movies. The pitch of the sounds start high and end up low. Is this some kind of doppler effect?      Here, there's a man performing 'nordic skating', making the same sounds as he skates on top of a thin ice sheet. Maybe they are caused by the cracking ice. But why does that sound like this?    There are some other videos too, where they skip stones on frozen lakes.    Here the ice makes some high-frequency sounds which correspond to the chirping of birds.  What are these sounds and why do they sound the way they sound? Is there a difference in disenchanting strong items vs. weak ones? Possible Duplicate:           states that the strength of the enchantment doesn't matter when disenchanting items to learn new enchantments.  Am I reading that right? If I have novice robes with 50% faster regen and disenchant it and my enchantment skill is at 5/5, when I enchant that item will it be the same result as disenchanting master robes with 150% faster regen? Because if you do the math, 5/5 enchanting will give you 100% better enchantment.   Therefore wouldn't it be better to disenchant more powerful items than weaker ones? Say I have a huge text file (>2GB) and I just want to cat the lines X to Y (e.g. 57890000 to 57890010).  From what I understand I can do this by piping head into tail or viceversa, i.e.   head -A /path/to/file | tail -B   or alternatively  tail -C /path/to/file | head -D   where A,B,C and D can be computed from the number of lines in the file, X and Y.  But there are two problems with this approach:   You have to compute A,B,C and D. The commands could pipe to each other many more lines than I am interested in reading (e.g. if I am reading just a few lines in the middle of a huge file)   Is there a way to have the shell just work with and output the lines I want?
