How do I compare strings in Java?
How to forward specific log file outside of /var/log with rsyslog to remote server? How can I forward message from a specific log file like /www/myapp/log/test.log with rsyslog client to remote rsyslog server? This log file is outside of the directory /var/log. Get top results for each group (in Oracle) Top Answers in network profile shows incorrect score post of mine has a score of 13, but the  shows that it has 14:  This seems to be a recur of  bug; @Catija's  says it's been fixed.  Can we fix that (again)? How does Python evaluate the expression 1+++2?  How many ever + I put in between, it is printing 3 as the answer. Please can anyone explain this behavior  And for 1--2 it is printing 3 and for 1---2 it is printing -1 In Windows, 'removable' drives cannot be partitioned, without the partitions not appearing and receiving drive letters, apart from the first partition.  Partitioned flash drives work fine in Linux.  What I want to do is partition a 8GB flash drive into two, with the first partition containing various boot disc images, which can be selected to boot from, and have various portable apps, documentation, utilities, scripts, etc, on the other partition.  I currently do this using two separate flash drives, but I want to be able to use a single flash drive for everything, which I keep on my keyring.  It is not possible to do this without having at least two partitions, as the ISO boot selector for the boot disc images will not work otherwise.  I know there is a method where you can flip a bit, using Lexar's USB Format Tool, which fools Windows into thinking that the partitions are on a fixed hard drive.  However, this apparently makes it difficult to eject the flash drive.  Flash drives with  from SanDisk had two partitions, presenting itself to the host system as a USB hub with a CD drive and standard USB mass storage device attached.  This is what I would like to emulate, if possible. Get the newest file from directory structure year/month/date/time I store backups of databases in a directory structure  year/month/day/time/backup_name  an example would be   basics_mini/2012/11/05/012232/RATIONAL.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.20110505004037.001 basics_mini/2012/11/06/012251/RATIONAL.0.db2inst1.NODE0000.20110505003930.001  note that timestamp from the backup file cannot be used. Before the automation testing starts the server time is set to 5.5.2011  So the question is how I can get the latest file if I pass the "base directory" (basics_mini) to some function that I am going to code.  I need to restore the newest database. I do that in php but I wonder if there is a simple shell scripting solution. Change post permalink to external URL from custom field Find the tangent lines to the graph of $x^2+4y^2 = 36$ that go through the point $P=(12,3)$ I was solving a few problems from a textbook and I came across this one:     Find the tangent lines to the graph of $x^2+4y^2 = 36$ that go through   the point $P=(12,3)$   I could find the tangency points $$ but my solution was completely messy (I had four equations that I had to go back-and-forth with.  Is there an elegant/simple solution to that?  Tangency points:  $$P_1 = (0,3)$$ $$P_2 = \left( \frac{24}{5} , 3-\frac{24}{5} \right)$$ I was working on historical data looking for anomalous patterns that we would not expect to occur at random. I'd like to create a scheme to analyze data and markets to test for statistical significance and consistency over time.  Question : Are there some tools we could use to evaluate the nonrandomness of a database? What do we use usually to say that something is random or not (statistically)? Figure we work with change in some value over time. Existence of subgroup of order six in $A_4$ Show that  the  alternating  group  $A_4$  of all even permutations of $S_4$ does not contain a  subgroup of order $6$.   For me am thinking to write all elements of $A_4$ and trying to find every cyclic subgroup generated by each element of $A_4$, then I have to check whether there exist such a subgroup or not! This is a long procedure for me, I ask if there is a short way to do this. If statement evaluating true no matter what. Python 3.3.0 Is Einstein's Special Relativity completely inclusive of Newton's 3 laws of motion? Relativity has always been explained to me (in books I've read, etc) as a superset of newton's laws - that is; it encapsulates all of Newton's mechanics in addition to other effects (observer effect, time dilation, space-time geometry, etc).   I can kind of imagine 2 of Newton's 3 laws of motion to be incapsulated within Einstein's Special Relativity, but the one about "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction", I'm struggling to find a place for that within Special Relativity.   Does this sit outside Special Relativity's explanatory power or is it inferred within somehow? Prove or disprove: $S_{10} = \langle (1,3),(1,2, ... ,10) \rangle$ Replacing Raster Values in Ras1 with Ras2 Can someone please verify my proof?     Is the collection $\tau_\infty = \{U:X-U$ is infinite or empty or all of $X\}$ a topology on $X$?   No. Let $X = \mathbb{R}$.  Clearly, $\{x\} \in \tau_\infty$ for all $x \in X$.  Set $\displaystyle{B = \cup_{x \neq 0} \{x\}}$. Clearly, $X - B = \{0\}$, but $\{0\} \notin \tau_\infty$. Since $\tau_\infty$ is not closed under arbitrary unions, it does not define a topology on $X$. Format number to always show 2 decimal places I am having trouble finding the derivative of the following:  $$y = x^x+x^3+3^x+3^3$$  $$\frac{dy}{dx}= x \times x^{(x-1)}+3x^2+3^x\ln3+0$$  I think the $x^x$ part is wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Why don't absorption and emission lines cancel out in our Sun? I was looking at  on why  and emission lines don't cancel out:      An experiment shining light on the material and looking at the   reflected spectrum will see absorption lines at those frequencies,   because the relaxation of the excited electrons will emit back   radiation all around randomly, whereas the reflected spectrum is at a   specific angle.   However it is not totally convincing to me. The photons that get emitted towards the center of the Sun (by the electrons in higher energy states that absorbed a photon earlier) would get absorbed again when they hit a different electron (and then re-emitted) and would eventually make it out. So why don't absorption and emission lines cancel out in our Sun? Why doesn't the Related question list show that questions are closed? I saw a question on Meta that was obviously going to be a duplicate:        And indeed, looking at the "Related" questions list for that question showed a number of duplicates:    Being the good citizen I am, I tried to vote to close (technically Flag as duplicate as I've not got the rep here to vote to close) it as an Exact Duplicate only to find myself falling into a rabbit hole of Closed, Duplicate questions. Is there any way to flag a closed question as such in the Related list?  Mostly because the first one I picked was closed as a duplicate of the second one, which was closed as a duplicate of the one that is now listed as the duplicate/linked answer.   Edit to respond to comment:  I take the point about "not voting to close on title alone", and normally wouldn't, however as the questions had identical titles, and it's pretty clear what they should be asking, I clicked the first one:    which lead to:  which leads to:  - but I'd got bored following links and didn't check that one as the first two were identical, so assumed this was too and didn't want to see how deep the rabbit hole led.   In the related list, there's only one other question in there that is an exact duplicate, but hasn't (currently) been closed as such which is:      Reasoning for highlighting closed questions:  The "Questions with similar titles" does display the closed titles when asking the question, so it should be fairly possible to include.  If there are clearly duplicate titles, then as a reader/reviewer would be helpful to know which ones are already closed as duplicates so you can either:   Use the remaining open questions to focus on which of those is the canonical answer to close this with. Use the closed questions to find the canonical answer (which failed for me with my route of clicks). What is the word that describes the absence of bureaucracy? What is the word which describes the absence of formless, of long procedure with bureaucrats? I was thinking about formsless but it sounds weird...
