How can I find unanswered questions of interest, that I have not yet answered?
Is it possible to exclude questions I've already answered from the search criteria?
Quotient group $G/H$ is abelian iff $[G,G] \subseteq H$ When looking at my objects in 3d view I'm seeing a gray cone that seems to be hiding other objects.   Can anyone help me turn this off and explain what it is please.  Screenshots attached. Let $b_n$ be a sequence which decreases monotonically to zero, prove $\sum b_nz^n$ converges for $|z|\leq 1$ and $z\neq 1$.  So I was able to prove it converges on the open unit disk in the complex plane, but except for a few special points on the boundary, such as $-1$ and $i$, where I was able to use the alternating series test, I can't seem to prove it converges in general on the boundary minus $z=1$.  I feel I have to somehow use the fact that all the numbers on the unit circle except $z=1$ rotate around and around as you raise them to higher and higher powers, thus you get the real and imaginary parts of your series to alternate between sets of positive and negative terms, but in a very irregular way for most initial angles.  I tried to simplify the problem by breaking the series into its real and imaginary parts, and then trying to prove they each converge separately, but I still can't prove either converges:  $$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}b_ne^{n\theta i} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}b_n\cos(n\theta) +i\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}b_n\sin(n\theta).$$ Proof: How many digits does a number have? $\lfloor \log_{10} n \rfloor +1$ I read recently that you can find the number of digits in a number through the formula $\lfloor \log_{10} n \rfloor +1$ What's the logic behind this rather what's the proof? Pattern matching with LIKE, SIMILAR TO or regular expressions in PostgreSQL I had to write a simple query where I go looking for people's name that start with a B or a D :   SELECT s.name  FROM spelers s  WHERE s.name LIKE 'B%' OR s.name LIKE 'D%' ORDER BY 1   I was wondering if there is a way to rewrite this to become more performant. So I can avoid or and / or like? Android: TextView automatically truncate and replace last 3 char of String Limit connection rights on SQL Server I have an app to deploy in production that uses 'honor system' security. That is, all users connect to the DB using a SQL user/passwd credential and the app manages permissions itself. The latter part doesn't bother me as much as the fact that the connection object contains embedded credentials and can be copied around freely. I'm try to find some way to limit connections to a more limited set of clients. I can create firewall rules to limit by IP, of course. Is there any way to 'prequalify' SQL logins either by Machine account or domain membership? I have a scrbook document with an openright option, i.e. every once in a while a blank left page appears in the document. Not that I really want to do this, but how could I include the infamous "This page has been intentionally left blank" in those blank pages cleanly, i.e. without too many hacks?  Bonus points for including a different famous quote on each blank page instead of the dull default ;) Newbe Ubuntu installer - Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS 64bit - Windows 10 Having some issues installing Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS 64bit next to Windows 10.  This is what I did:  1) Created a bootable usb with ubuntu on it using Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.6.3  2) Changed the boot mode  3) Boot from USB - It showed the option to test drive or install - I chose install  4) Choose Language  5) Setup Wireless - I didn't choose anything here  6) Then it showed me the preparing to install  7) After that a message popped up saying:      Unmount partitions that are in use The installer has detected that the following discs have mounted partitions /dev/scd Do you want the   installer to try and unmount these partitions before continuing? If   you leave them mounted, you will not be able to create, delete, resize   partitions on these discs, but you may be able to install on an   existing partition there.   So obviously I said yes.  8) Installation type - I chose something else - This looked nothing like the screen shots I saw on the installation guide.    9) Then it only gave me the option to choose my bootable usb for the installation. With a bunch of options to choose, so I got scared and quit.     Can any one please help?  Keep in my mind I do not know a lot, so please dumb it down. Why can't I choose to run it along side Windows 10? Why doesn't the installation pick up my hard drives?  If you need any other info, please ask. But I think I put everything in here.

Then the undeletion should have recreated an entry but didn't. I have a ListBox DataTemplate in WPF. I want one item to be tight against the left side of the ListBox and another item to be tight against the right side, but I can't figure out how to do this.  So far I have a Grid with three columns, the left and right ones have content and the center is a placeholder with it's width set to "*". Where am I going wrong?  Here is the code:  &lt;DataTemplate x:Key="SmallCustomerListItem"&gt;     &lt;Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"&gt;         &lt;Grid.RowDefinitions&gt;             &lt;RowDefinition/&gt;         &lt;/Grid.RowDefinitions&gt;         &lt;Grid.ColumnDefinitions&gt;             &lt;ColumnDefinition/&gt;             &lt;ColumnDefinition Width="*"/&gt;             &lt;ColumnDefinition/&gt;         &lt;/Grid.ColumnDefinitions&gt;         &lt;WrapPanel HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0"&gt;             &lt;!--Some content here--&gt;             &lt;TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=LastName}" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="24"/&gt;             &lt;TextBlock Text=", " TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="24"/&gt;             &lt;TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=FirstName}" TextWrapping="Wrap" FontSize="24"/&gt;          &lt;/WrapPanel&gt;         &lt;ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding Path=PhoneNumbers}" Grid.Column="2" d:DesignWidth="100" d:DesignHeight="50"      Margin="8,0" Background="Transparent" BorderBrush="Transparent" IsHitTestVisible="False" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/&gt;     &lt;/Grid&gt; &lt;/DataTemplate&gt; Mandatory child record when creating parent record Relation between magnetic moment and angular momentum -- classic theory How do I prove the relation between the vectors of magnetic moment $\vec\mu$ and angular momentum $\vec L$, $$\vec\mu=\gamma\vec L$$  ?  Many text books and lecture notes about the principles of magnetism show the relation of $\mu$ and $L$ as scalars only and then just state that the relation holds also for the vectors. An example:   $$\mu=I\cdot A = \frac{q}{t}\pi r^2 = \frac{qv}{2\pi rm}m\pi r^2$$  ($I=q/t$: current, $A$: area of a loop, $q$ charge, $t=2\pi r/v$: time of 1 rotation, $v$: velocity of particle, $m$: mass )  The angular momentum is $\vec L = \vec r\times\vec p$ or $L=mrv$ and therefore $$\Rightarrow \mu = {\frac{q}{2m}} L = \gamma L.$$  Why is this also true for the vectors? Is there a general explication by classical physics without the need of quantum theory? The median minimizes the sum of absolute deviations (the $ {\ell}_{1} $ norm) Suppose we have a set $S$ of real numbers. Show that   $$\sum_{s\in S}|s-x| $$   is minimal if $x$ is equal to the median.    This is a sample exam question of one of the exams that I need to take and I don't know how to proceed. Did I derive a new form of the gamma function? Approaches to Sand on a Conveyor Belt Do not allow giving minus one for new user questions I always see Stack Overflow users giving -1 to new users' questions. This is not how you welcome a new user to the community. A new user does not know the rules yet.    I suggest that if one wants to give -1 to a new user, you prevent that and ask the downvoter to write a comment instead. new user = 2 first questions    I see the credit rating on my question is now at -9?  My question, is she not well formed or formatted? If you don't agree with the content of a question do you down-rate it? If an Ubuntu user asks a question that might not be reasonable, will you also down-rate it?  No. You post an answer that will present your thinking and correct him? I think that is part of the problem. When you first go to a community like Facebook, and you don't know the faces, you don't feel like any of those people are your relations. Newbies exist here as well, especially in a professional community.    First, welcome the new user in more appropriate way. And most importantly, force them to see/read how to post a good question. Where can I find computer modern fonts for use in other programs, e.g. Adobe Illustrator? Does anyone know of any interesting subsets of the Cantor set? When I first started thinking about this, I thought that since the Cantor set $C$ is the intersection of disjoint unions of closed sets, those particular closed sets would be subsets of $C$. Those sets, however, happen to be intervals! The Cantor set contains no isolated points nor (open) intervals, so then what subsets does it contain besides $\varnothing$ and itself? I have interesting bug that I have experienced before but has gone away on its own. This one is not going away though.  I have a giant stripe or chunks missing from my desert biome, I would say probably 7 chunks long.  I'm guessing the chunks are corrupted or something, what was hoping to figure is whether it can repaired or reverted.  Here is a picture of the problem.
