The conditions $a^2b^2=b^2a^2$ and $a^3b^3=b^3a^3$ make the group $G$ abelian? Omitting "and" in a sentence He called her, emailed her, texted her, tweeted her—all to no use.   Strictly speaking, I would need to write texted her and tweeted her, but I'm omitting and to convey a rhythm and sense of urgency. What do you call this kind of construction, and is it accepted grammar (at least for creative writing, if not in an academic context)? Need help identifying short story about retired military colonel who fought war at end of time I read this story in an anthology in the eighties or early nineties.  It was about an old man who lived outside a western-like town, though that might have just been how I imagined it.  He goes to town and some ex-military thugs are there causing problems.  Flaunting some odd interdimensional military tech of some sort.  He doesn't want to intervene as doing so would be bad but in the end he must.     By intervening, his military identity is revealed and that causes him (some paradox or causality law) to have to go back and fight the war again.   The war is at the end of time or the universe.  The man is maybe a colonel of the sky something... Not much to go on; I have been searching my collection and wracking my brain for years trying to recall the story. What is vertex and edge shading? How prove that $q \geq b+d$ for $ad-bc = 1$ and $\frac{a}{b} > \frac{p}{q} > \frac{c}{d}$? Let $a,b,c,d,p$, and $q$ be natural numbers such that $ad-bc = 1$ and $\frac{a}{b} &gt; \frac{p}{q} &gt; \frac{c}{d}$.  How prove that  $q \geq b+d$? From what time I've spent with threads in Java, I've found these two ways to write threads:  With implements Runnable:  public class MyRunnable implements Runnable {     public void run() {         //Code     } } //Started with a "new Thread(new MyRunnable()).start()" call   Or, with extends Thread:  public class MyThread extends Thread {     public MyThread() {         super("MyThread");     }     public void run() {         //Code     } } //Started with a "new MyThread().start()" call   Is there any significant difference in these two blocks of code ? How to normalize data between -1 and 1? I have seen the min-max normalization formula but that normalizes values between 0 and 1. How would I normalize my data between -1 and 1? I have both negative and positive values in my data matrix. Is there any way to see the custom messages/remarks of resolved/expired bounties? I understand that people explain (in layman's terms at least) that the presence of mass "warps" space-time geometry, and this causes gravity. I have also of course heard the analogy of a blanket or trampoline bending under an object, which causes other objects to come together, but I always thought this was a hopelessly circular explanation because the blanket only bends because of "real" gravity pulling the object down and then pulling the other objects down the sloped blanket. In other words, to me, it seems that curved space wouldn't have any actual effect on objects unless there's already another force present.   So how is curved space-time itself actually capable of exerting a force (without some source of a fourth-dimensional force)?  I apologize for my ignorance in advance, and a purely mathematical explanation will probably go over my head, but if it's required I'll do my best to understand. How to show that $\lim_{n \to +\infty} n^{\frac{1}{n}} = 1$? Is there an easy way to put a box around a theorem in LaTeX? For example to state an important theorem. I tried using page 20 of the ntheorem , but I do not know how to use the package. How to prove that $\lim \frac{1}{n} \sqrt[n]{(n+1)(n+2)... 2n} = \frac{4}{e}$ I'd like a hint to show that:  $$\lim \frac{1}{n} \sqrt[n]{(n+1)(n+2) \cdots 2n} = \frac{4}{e} .$$  Thanks. How do I remove "Ubuntu" in the bios boot menu? (UEFI) Switching to HTTPS - redirect question Do I need an airport transit visa for Dublin, Ireland en route to the UK? I am Haitian, and traveling with a Haitian passport. I have to go to London with a work permit (tier 2 visa) on the 29th of July but I have 2 hour transit in Dublin.  Do I need a transit visa? Can I get it at the airport?  I also have a valid US visa. Why do harmonics occur when you pluck a string? Proof of when is $A=X^TX$ invertible? In most sentences that use the word lunch, I found this word does rarely take the definite article the. For example:     I have lunch in three hours.      Shall we go out for lunch?      Let's have some lunch.      I'll take my lunch to school.   But now I wonder if this word really cannot take the definite article, and if it can, in what cases do I use the definite article and in what cases not?  And also, if the word lunch cannot take the definite article, why cannot it have it? How do I install applications in Ubuntu? How can I install applications like Google Chrome on Ubuntu?  Are there any commands to install an application?    Index of answers: What tool do I need to install to make my terminal show the autocompletion of the command that I'm writing?
