Can a concentration spell be cast without actually concentrating on it for an "instant" effect? What's the difference between the work function and ionisation energy? Continuously invertible operators What to do when someone other than the author changes a question to fix a substantive problem with the code See . Someone other than the OP changed the code to address a substantial problem with the it that was addressed as part of my answer. The problem was admittedly peripheral to the core question, but it was a primary differentiator between my answer and another answer submitted at the same time.  Any suggestions on what to do in this situation? Leave it be? Edit it back? Something else?  Update: I just found , from the "Related Links" section on the right, which is pretty relevant. I have to keep remembering to check there rather than just searching for answers. Orange squares appearing on render? I'm trying to render a scene in Blender, and as of yesterday (it was not doing this when I was working on it 2-3 days ago), I am seeing orange squares dancing around the rendered image. Google tells me that these are render tiles (I think), but what are they, why are they there, and how do I get rid of them? I've just received a memo which says (effectively)      As more people leave, there will be less people available.   I want that word to be fewer. Are there guidelines for which word ought to be used when? Random Sample vs. As Large a Sample as Possible? I'm struggling to differentiate scenarios where you would use random sampling vs. getting as large a sample as possible. For instance, one thing I am trying to test is the notion that being in a "home" arena boosts player performance.  I have collected individual football game data for every game over the past 10 years. I have over 34000 observations of players performance during this time span. Would it have been more prudent for me to take a random sample of say, 1000 players over the past 10 years?  I just don't understand why, in the above scenario, I'd take a random sample of 1000 when I can just take all of the players performances from the past 10 years. LibreOffice Calc - Disable rounding There are a  on this topic, but no simple and definitive answers.    Can someone please tell me how to permanently disable cell rounding on the .csv file which is created by script?  Basically, '377635637222436751' is being converted to '377635637222437000' automatically and that isn't really acceptable for my needs.  I've tried this: Tools->Options->Calc->Calculate "Precision as shown"   and this: Format > Cells > Numbers > Category > (scroll down for) Text. (but considering my script creates the .csv -- this option isn't very good since it must be done after the file is created)  And neither is working.  The number stays rounded -- even after formatting the column after the file is created.  Does anyone have any suggestions? Difference between "does have" and "has" Possible Duplicate:                 What is the difference between does have and has? For example, compare she does have a car and she has a car. How to reinstall yum? Here is an interesting piece of code that my fellow team members were just having a slightly heated discussion about...    Dim fred As Integer    If True Then fred = 5 : fred = 3 : fred = 6 Else fred = 4 : fred = 2 : fred = 1   After executing the above code snippet, what is the value of fred?  Try not to cheat and debug the code.  This is a highly contrived code example that started out as an example of using the colon with an If statement, but then someone decided to take it upon themselves to proffer a result for fred.  UPDATE: I would not normally write code like this and this snippet only serves as an example. As it so happens, this question originated from a discussion involving the creation of a coding standards document for our team. How do you get the footer to stay at the bottom of a Web page? I have a simple 2-column layout with a footer that clears both the right and left div in my markup.  My problem is that I can't get the footer to stay at the bottom of the page in all browsers.  It works if the content pushes the footer down, but that's not always the case. Is it acceptable to insult god in a user profile? Like always I hang around in Stack Overflow's chatrooms. Today, someone posted a link to his new "reloaded" user profile.  Along the lines I read in Arabic "god is a pig". So I asked him to remove it:     Me: I have a lot of respect towards you because of your knowledge but what you wrote there in Arabic is offensive. Could you remove it please?   OP: if it were in English, would it be equally offensive?   I will write it in Dutch because you ask it so kindly.   Me: yeah, I mean what's your goal? You're just seeding hatred   OP: It is an experiment.   After that, the user changed it to Dutch.  My question is: are such statements acceptable by Stack Exchange's standards? If not, should I flag one of his posts like stated ? If yes, could you state why?  My answers to possible questions:   This happened on SO, why don't you post it on MSO?   This happened on SO but I think it's applicable to all SE sites.  Why didn't you link the user or the chat conversation?   I want the user to remain anonymous unless he or she chooses to reveal him/her self. I will give the user a link to this question  Why do you care?   I find it offensive, not only to my religion but to any religion that believes in god. I posted this question to know what you guys and girls think about this. I live by the rules, so if it's acceptable by SE then so be it and I won't bother you again.  If you don't like it then move on.   I know that this is not a mosque/church/temple and that swearing  to a certain degree. But I don't see the point in insulting god, a religion or a race in a public profile. More over, it's not even built on arguments. Prove that if $\gcd(ab,c)=1$, then $\gcd(a,c)=1$. Two correlated marginally Gaussian RV, but not Jointly Gaussian We know if two RVs are marginally Gaussian and uncorrelated, they can be not jointly Gaussian. How about two correlated RVs which are marginally Gaussian? Are they Jointly Gaussian or no, there are occasions when they are not Jointly Gaussian? How to add user to a group from Mac OS X command line? trying to add a user to a group from the command line but can't figure out how?   Specifically this is on Mac OS X Server 10.5.8  like to add user to 'admin' and 'wheel' groups I am trying to represent trade flows on a world map where the size and direction of arrows indicate the exports/imports of a given country.  This type of map is commonly found in magazines and newspapers. However, I find it extremely difficult to make.   Is there any function in ArcGIS for Desktop or any free software that would help me in making it? How to print a date in a regular format? Often I need to recall the different \tracing commands; and a couple of times I stumbled on some webpages that worked fine for me; sadly, I didn't keep them, and my searches don't take me there anymore.   So I thought I'd ask about links to where one can read a list of \tracing commands?   For instance,  mentions:  \tracingall \tracingassigns \tracingcommands \tracinggroups \tracingifs \tracinglostchars \tracingmacros \tracingnesting \tracingonline \tracingoutput \tracingpages \tracingparagraphs \tracingrestores \tracingstats \tracingscantokens   .. but, I'm pretty sure there was something like \tracingboxes (and not so sure if there was something like \tracingglues); yet I cannot find any resources mentioning those. My disk already has 4 primary partitions, how can I install Ubuntu? I would like to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7 on a HP G62 Notebook. Although I have installed  Ubuntu in a dual-boot many times before, I found out that this model has already four partitions.    Partitions:   SYSTEM (NTFS, 199MB, used 66.59MB) Partition without any tag: NTFS (579GM, used 129GB)  RECOVERY (NTFS 16.74 GB, used 2.42GB)  HP_TOOLS (FAT32, 103.34 MB, used 13.23MB)   Since I am not an expert with partitions I would like to get advice on how to do this.  My first idea is this one:   Free some space from /dev/sda2 (I don't know if could also free some other space) delete the HP_Tools partition (I have already created a backup) create an extended partition with the free space in #1 containing three parititions: swap (1gb); / (EXT4, 30GB);  /home (EXT4, 120GB)   Another option is to use wubi instead.  What do you think? Is there any other way to achieve this?  PS: I really think this HP policy of using 4 partitions is not a coincidence  PS: I tried using gparted from the live CD and I got a warning message saying that if I freed some space from /dev/sda2 I could create serious issues in the system
