What happened to Asgardian refugees in Infinity war?
Are there any more Asgardians?
What happens if I use RAM of a faster speed than the CPU supports? I'd like to use JavaScript to calculate the width of a string. Is this possible without having to use a monospace typeface?  If it's not built-in, my only idea is to create a table of widths for each character, but this is pretty unreasonable especially supporting  and different type sizes (and all browsers for that matter). I have noticed this on many different Windows machine, on many different occasions: the RAM usage reported by Task Manager or Resource Monitor often seems to add up to an amount which is significantly lower than the actual amount in use.  For example, many times on my laptop or my desktop, I have seen something like 7GB in use, and yet the total of the Working RAM Set is more like 3GB. I just can't figure out where it's being used!  Here's an extreme example I noticed today in Resource Monitor on a server:    If you right-click the image and open in a new tab, and view the numbers, you'll notice that the Working Set (which doesn't include nonphysical virtual memory) add up to about 1.7GB. I get similar numbers by adding up RAM usage in Task Manager when "Show processes from all users" is enabled.  Now here's a screenshot of task manager's Performance tab:    This says 7.6GB of physical memory is in use.  I see this all the time, on personal computers, laptops, and now servers: the total RAM usage reported by system tools only accounts for about 1/4 of the RAM usage I observe. WTF is going on???  Is there any satisfying explanation of where all my RAM is? What is gobbling it up, and why is it leaving no trace?  EDIT: Here's a picture of the graphical RAM use, as user whs asked for:    EDIT 2: In response to James' response, here's a picture of the nonpaged processes in poolmon.exe, sorted by size:    These results confuse me. poolmon correctly states that I have 6GB of nonpaged pool in use, but all the nonpaged pool processes are less than 8MB in size.  What could this mean? Is poolmon failing to detect some of the processes using the nonpaged pool? I try to search for lines that start with "1" using   ls -1 | grep ^1*   but it returns lines that do not start with 1. What I am missing here? Knowing $|z|$ and $|w|$ (and possibly $z\overline{w}$), what are $|z+w|^2$, $|zw|^2$, $|z-w|^2$, $|z/w|^2$? Question 1: Let $z$ and $w$ be complex numbers satisfying $|z| = 4$ and $|w| = 2$. Then enter in the numbers $$ |z+w|^2, |zw|^2, |z-w|^2, \left| \dfrac{z}{w} \right|^2 $$ below, in the order listed above. If any of these cannot be uniquely determined from the information given, enter in a question mark.  I plugged in $4$ and $2$ to each equation and got $36$, $64$, $4$, $4$, for question one. It was wrong.  Question 2: Let $z$ and $w$ be complex numbers satisfying $|z| = 5, |w| = 2,$ and $z\overline{w} = 6+8i.$ Then enter in the numbers $$ |z+w|^2, |zw|^2, |z-w|^2, \left| \dfrac{z}{w} \right|^2 $$ below, in the order listed above. If any of these cannot be uniquely determined from the information given, enter in a question mark.  I don't know how to even start on question 2 because of the $z\overline{w}$. Why isn't .profile sourced when opening a terminal? Just installed Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS.  According to .profile,  # ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.  # This file is not read by bash, if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login exists.   There is no ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login.  It does not seem to source .profile when opening a terminal.   Why doesn't it source .profile when opening a terminal? Why is .profile there if it is not sourced? How do I know/control what is sourced when a new terminal is opened? When a new terminal is opened, does it do a "login"? Where is a good place to add $HOME/bin to my path? .bashrc? Will that cause a problem because .profile has the same code? Black holes and positive/negative-energy particles I was reading Brian Greene's "Hidden Reality" and came to the part about Hawking Radiation. Quantum jitters that occur near the event horizon of a black hole, which create both positive-energy particles and negative-energy particles, produce the so-called Hawking radiation. However, I do not understand why only the negative-energy particles are being absorbed into the black hole, while the positive-energy particles shoot outward. Shouldn't there be 50/50 chance that each type of particle is being absorbed by the black hole? Also, the book mentions that a negative-energy particle would appear to an observer inside the black hole as positive. Why? Prove $e^{x+y}=e^{x}e^{y}$ by using Exponential Series In order to show $e^{x+y}=e^{x}e^{y}$ by using Exponential Series, I got the following:   $$e^{x}e^{y}=\Big(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}{x^n \over n!}\Big)\cdot \Big(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}{y^n \over n!}\Big)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\sum_{k=0}^n{x^ky^n \over {k!n!}}$$  But, where should I go next to get $e^{x+y}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}{(x+y)^n \over n!}$.  Thanks in advance. How can I join these two meshes in a proper way? I know I can Ctrl J to join them, but how can I do so without having overlapping faces? error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat Let $a,b,c $ are non-negative real numbers, and $a+b+c=3$.

How do I run a batch file from my Java Application? In my Java application, I want to run a batch file that calls "scons -Q implicit-deps-changed build\file_load_type export\file_load_type"  It seems that I can't even get my batch file to execute. I'm out of ideas.   This is what I have in Java:  Runtime.    getRuntime().    exec("build.bat", null, new File("."));   Previously, I had a Python Sconscript file that I wanted to run but since that didn't work I decided I would call the script via a batch file but that method has not been successful as of yet. Prove that if a number $n > 1$ is not prime, then it has a prime factor $\le \sqrt{n}$. Show that if a function is not negative and its integral is $0$ than the function is $0$ Suppose $f$ is continuous, $f(x) \ge 0$ on $[a,b]$ and $\int_a^b f(x) dx=0$. Show that $f(x)=0$ on $[a,b]$.   I know that if $f$ in continuous at $x_0$ and $f(x_0) &gt; 0$, then there exists $\delta &gt; 0$ s.t. $f(x) \ge \frac{1}{2} f(x_0)$ for $|x-x_0| &lt; \delta$ and I think it should help me but I'm stuck at this point. I make use of the view: "taxonomy term". Is there an easy way to also show the children of a term, next to the nodes beloging to this term?  Example:  Cars - Volvo --- Family_cars --- Sports_cars - Honda --- Parts --- ... Trucks - ...   When you see the "cars" page I want to show all articles about cars (but not about Volvo, Honda, ...) AND I want to show the children (Volvo, Honda, ...) When you click one of these I want to show all the articles belonging with them, again with their children. How can I execute a file without giving myself execute permissions (with chmod u+x) for it?   If I try and tick the 'Allow executing file as program' checkmark, the checkmark is immediately removed. Method to create a live USB disk (with persistence) which actually works? I've tried so many combinations - all I want is a fast Ubuntu Live USB disk with persistence that works. What I've tried so far:   Using unetbootin on my Mac, choosing some "Space used to preserve files across reboots (Ubuntu only)".   Result: Doesn't boot at all.  Using unetbootin on my Mac, choosing no such space.  Result: Boots fine and very fast (doesn't even show the annoying dialog "Try ubuntu/install ubuntu" at startup!), but has no persistence. (So I have to choose my keyboard layout, install programs I need, etc. every time)  Using Startup Disk Creator from my Ubuntu 11.04 installation.  Result: I cannot choose "reserved extra space" at all. It's greyed out. I know I know, there was bug , and many people say that the workaround from  works for them. But it doesn't work with Ubuntu 11.04 anymore (see also ).  Using Startup Disk Creator from my Kubuntu 10.10 installation, gnome version (usb-creator-gtk).   Result: I can select the "reserved extra space" option, but installation doesn't work (fails when installing the bootloader).  Using Startup Disk Creator from my Kubuntu 10.10 installation, kde version (usb-creator-kde).   Result: Actually works: Reserved space can be selected, installation works. But after booting, I get the screen "Try ubuntu/install ubuntu". Clicking on "Try ubuntu" takes me to the desktop - but only after waiting 5 minutes (every time!). It also doesn't seem to keep my keyboard settings.    I know, that instead of creating a startup disk, I could install a full ubuntu system on the USB stick. But as far as I know, this isn't very good, because /tmp and similar directories will then also be on the USB disk, which is a) slow, and b) not very good for the USB disk due to frequent overwriting.  I'm frustrated. So has anybody managed to create a working Ubuntu 11.04 Live USB disk with persistence? How configure the DHCP settings of WIFI Tethering (Hotspot) on Android? When connecting my PC to Android Wi-Fi hotspot, it assigned a 192.168.42.x address to my PC. I really need to change this as it conflicts with one of our work subnets - is this possible? Continuous function preserving rational difference. Find all the continuous functions $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that if $x-y\in \mathbb{Q}$ then $f(x)-f(y)\in \mathbb{Q}$.   Can somebody give me some hint to solve this problem. I think that the functions are $f(x)=mx+b$ where $m\in\mathbb{Q}$.  Thanks! Can Minecraft Pocket Edition play with a desktop Minecraft?
