The conditional statement if is not working properly
How do I compare strings in Java?
Change date format [YYYYMMDD] to [MM/DD/YYYY] I generated a report that formats date as 20160509 and my Google Sheets locale is already set to United States. I've played around with various options within Format > Number > Date Format but I can't change the dates to MM/DD/YYYY format without doing a simple find and replace. How do I accomplish this? How to create a folder in HOME Folder with ModelBuilder in ArcGis 10? Derivation of a generalization of Mertens' Third Theorem. One of Mertens' Theorems states $$\prod_{p\le x}(1-\frac{1}{p})\sim \frac{e^{-\gamma}}{\ln(x)}.$$ I have seen a generalized version that states  $$\prod_{m&lt;p\le x}(1-\frac{m}{p})\sim \frac{c(m)}{(\ln(x))^m},$$ where $m$ is a positive integer and $c(m)$ is a real number that depends on $m$. How can I derive this result? Is there a way to find what the values of $c(m)$ are? Thank you very much. A book in which every species on earth was rendered intelligent The 'blurb' on the back of the book was that something had boosted the intelligence of every creature on earth, to the point that at least some animals were on par with humans. I'm not sure if humans were similarly enhanced or just animals. I'm not sure whether it was done by aliens, or a side effect of something humans did, or what.   This book was on the shelves in the mid/late 1980's, so it's nothing more recent than that. Where can I get a clean ISO of a specific build of Windows 10? I need to repair my Windows 10 installation. Where can I get a clean ISO (with install.wim, no Install.ESD, so that I can run DISM against the WIM) of the specific Windows 10 build required for this?  In my case, I need the Anniversary update (Build 14393), Creators Update (Build 15063) or Fall Creators Update (Build 16299.15).

I'm currently trying to configure our exchange 2010 to be used as a external smtp relay. What I'm trying to do is allow certain websites that we manage to send email using our exchange server smtp relay. I was told that I needed to created a receiver connector under Server Configuration>Hub Transport. After I created the receiver connector I added the following confi in which I added the website IP address in the "Receiver mail from remote servers ect" then unders Authentication I selected Externally Secured,TLS and under permissions I selected exchange servers.   I went to one of our websites and configure it with this configuration and I'm still getting "SMTP connect failed."  Can someone help me? or what is the  proper way to get this to work. Multiple websites are going to be using this exchanger server SMTP relay in a secure way. It seems that through various related questions here, there is consensus that the "95%" part of what we call a "95% confidence interval" refers to the fact that if we were to exactly replicate our sampling and CI-computation procedures  many times, 95% of thusly computed CIs would contain the population mean. It also seems to be the consensus that this definition does not permit one to conclude from a single 95%CI that there is a 95% chance that the mean falls somewhere within the CI. However, I don't understand how the former doesn't imply the latter insofar as, having imagined many CIs 95% of which contain the population mean, shouldn't our uncertainty (with regards to whether our actually-computed CI contains the population mean or not) force us to use the base-rate of the imagined cases (95%) as our estimate of the probability that our actual case contains the CI?   I've seen posts argue along the lines of "the actually-computed CI either contains the population mean or it doesn't, so its probability is either 1 or 0", but this seems to imply a strange definition of probability that is dependent on unknown states (i.e. a friend flips fair coin, hides the result, and I am disallowed from saying there is a 50% chance that it's heads).  Surely I'm wrong, but I don't see where my logic has gone awry... How should I implement hook_menu()? Am I technically allowed to look up cards during a Magic tournament match? Am I allowed to look up a card during a game, if it's being played with serious Rules Enforcement? Either to read the full card from the Gatherer, or to try to find the exact card I'm vaguely thinking of.  Two possible scenarios:   An opponent has revealed a card previously, and I want to remember the exact details. (Something like the exact wording of a sorcery, mana cost, keywords on a creature, subtypes, etc. etc.) I have a "name a card and remove it from the opponent's deck" type card, and I want to, say, ask google for "Blue Gearhulk" to remember that it's that that one is called "Torrential Gearhulk".   Obviously, in casual or semi-casual games neither of these are a problem. Any reasonable opponent will just re-reveal the known card (assuming it IS still guaranteed to be known) or will accept "I name the Blue Gearhulk".  Also obviously, it seems unlikely that I (or anyone else) would get to the stage of playing at the REL without knowing the cards too thoroughly for this to be relevant.  But in principle... is it permitted? Or not? (and if not, is there a good reason, or just "we decided 'No'"?) Why is Apache executing .php.html files as PHP? I have an odd problem...I'm using a documentation generator which generates a lot of output like docs/foo.php.html. It's XHTML, and thus contains &lt;?xml...&gt; tags at the beginning of file. The problem is, Apache has somehow decided to run it through the PHP interpreter, even though ".php" appears in the middle of the filename, and not at the end. This, in turn, triggers a PHP error, because it sees "&lt;?" as the command to start executing PHP code, and immediately gets confused by the "xml..." which follows it.  How do I configure Apache to ONLY execute .php files and not .php.html files? The string "php.html" does not appear explicitly anywhere in my Apache config files. There is a line "AddHandler php5-script .php", but I don't see how that would also include ".php.html" files. Touchpad stopped working 20.04 Suppose I have BaseClass with public methods A and B, and I create DerivedClass through inheritance.  e.g.  public DerivedClass : BaseClass {}   Now I want to develop a method C in DerivedClass that uses A and B.  Is there a way I can override methods A and B to be private in DerivedClass so that only method C is exposed to someone who wants to use my DerivedClass? Parameter Sniffing (or Spoofing) in SQL Server A while ago I had a query that I ran quite a lot for one of my users. It was still being evolved and tweaked but eventually it stablised and ran quite quickly, so we created a stored procedure from it.   So far, so normal.   The stored procedure, though, was dog slow. No material difference between the query and the proc, but the speed change was massive.   [Background, we're running SQL Server 2005.]  A friendly local DBA (who no longer works here) took one look at the stored procedure and said "parameter spoofing!" (Edit: although it seems that it is possibly also known as 'parameter sniffing', which might explain the paucity of Google hits when I tried to search it out.)   We abstracted some of the stored procedure to a second one, wrapped the call to this new inner proc into the pre-existing outer one, called the outer one and, hey presto, it was as quick as the original query.   So, what gives? Can someone explain parameter spoofing?   Bonus credit for    highlighting how to avoid it  suggesting how to recognise possible cause discuss alternative strategies, e.g. stats, indices, keys, for mitigating the situation What's the meaning of "be blowed"? I would like to know what's the meaning of "be blowed" in the following text:     'I'm going to smoke' Jenkins said; 'be blowed to Bertie dear.' (Mrs. Smythe had once addressed her husband in the office as 'Bertie dear', and thereforth that had been his name among the staff.) Richard made no answer. When a minute later Jenkins, discreetly directing his puffs to the open window, asked him for the titles of one or two of Zola's novels in English, and their price, he gave the required information without turning round and in a preoccupied tone.   , Arnold Bennett, 1911. How can I change what keys on my keyboard do? (How can I create custom keyboard commands/shortcuts?) I want to change the key bindings on some of the keys on my keyboard.  I want some to run commands and others to activate different keys.  What applications can I use to do this?      Index:       (from within System Settings)             I'm still looking for answers using dconf and any other method. Is there a kind of microdata or markup that creates "results x of y" in search results Hey I want to connect the bottom loop with the top loop so that it forms a solid.  I have tried selecting multiple vertices and pressing F but that just creates a large face which I do not want. I have tried using grid fill bu that doesn't work either. The solution that seems to work is by selecting four vertices and pressing F and then selecting the next 4 and pressing F and on and on. That just takes too long.
