Can I declare a capital loss on a vehicle sale?
If I take a loss when I sell my car, can I claim a capital loss deduction on my income tax return?
The  (or conjecture), suggests that black holes can be entirely described by their mass, angular momentum and charge. All other details of the BH formation are lost.  Is there a simple way of understanding why you would be able to tell the difference between a BH made from protons and one made from electrons, but not between one made from matter rather than anti-matter?  i.e. What is special about charge, and why aren't lepton number, baryon number, strangeness etc, also black hole properties? I am teaching how to convert from one base to another base, however, I can't find a way to do something like this:    I know little about Tikz, the only thing I have been able to produce is a simple square with a couple of lines over it, so I don't even know where to start. Any suggestions? I don't mind typing all the numbers, what I want to do is to automatize the process of creating the lines.

That is, is there a lagrangian which depends only on the electric and magnetic fields and which will have Maxwell's equations as its Euler-Lagrange equations? Rings' second isomorphism theorem I am thinking about the proof of the second isomorphism theorem, and something isn't very clear to me.   Let $R$ be a ring, $S\subset R$ a subring and $I\subset R$ an ideal. We have the natural homomorphism $f:R\rightarrow R/I$. The theorem states that $\mathrm{Im}(S)=(S+I)/I$. My question is why not simply $\mathrm{Im}(S)=S/I$?  I understand that it is not true (for starters, $S/I$ need not be a subring), but I cannot explain that to my self in a convincing way. Suppose $f$ is continuous on $[a,b]$ and differentiable on (a,b). Does it follow that $f'$ is continuous on $(a,b)$? Can the Eclipse Java formatter be used stand-alone Is there a way to use the formatter that comes with eclipse, outside of eclipse?  I would like to format some java files using my formatter.xml file that I have configured using eclipse.  Does anyone have any code examples that would allow me to do this?  I would also like to use this standalone, so the specific jars that are used would be nice. Using OPENQUERY to execute a script I have a SQL Server 2008 instance which I want to use to import data from an Oracle server.  I have set up a linked server that works correctly when running simple queries like SELECT * FROM table. However, if I declare a variable or loop through the rows in a table or anything else inside the OPENQUERY, I get errors.  Is it possible to do this using OPENQUERY? Do I need additional permissions?

Getting exception when I try to install it.   p.s. Somebody says that the solution is installing openoffice.org-java-common package but Ubuntu 14.04 does not have this package in its repository.  System details:  OS: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS  LibreOffice: 4.2 (4.2.3.3)  LanguageTool: 2.5  Java: Oracle JDK 1.8.0_05     Exception message: Support for hardware components How can I find out if Ubuntu supports a particular hardware component, that is, if it works in Ubuntu?  I am going to put together a computer and I am choosing components.   How do I know if Ubuntu supports this or that motherboard, or this or that sound card, or this or that graphics card, etc? How do I know that there is no conflict in Ubuntu between this and that hardware component?   What resources are there to help with such situations?  I know that there are computers with Ubuntu pre-installed and that there are  for whole computers but this is not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for resources to find out support for particular hardware components and conflicts among particular hardware components. The title says it all.  If I was on a bus at 60 km/h, and I started walking on the bus at a steady pace of 5 km/h, then I'd technically be moving at 65 km/h, right?  So my son posed me an interesting question today: since light travels as fast as anything can go, what if I shined light when moving in a car?  How should I answer his question?

Singular or plural verb after a series connected by "or" The following sentence refers to an apocalyptic story where money no longer has any value:     A can of sardines, radio batteries, or a bicycle is/are more precious than money.   Should I use is or are after the series? What control type should I use - Image, MediaElement, etc.? Etymology of Tor and Ext Functors The names of the derived functors $\operatorname{Tor}$ and $\operatorname{Ext}$ seem quite cryptic to me. Does anyone know what these abbreviations stand for? I would be glad if someone could tell me where these names come from.
