Getting length of an array when passed to an object
How to find the 'sizeof' (a pointer pointing to an array)?
If apostrophe + s is the acceptable way of denoting a genitive in English, is it possible that possessive pronouns, such as hers, ours and yours, started life as possessive adjectives with apostrophe + s?  E.g. her's, our's, your's, their's? Perhaps, even his' ? Its and my obviously stick out from this tempting pattern.  Is there any evidence that this might be the case, or is the 's completely unrelated? So  i have a scene with a few objects, and a water simulation in the scene. However I want to animate the camera turning around in the scene, while the water simulation is frozen in time. So something like a time freeze effect. But when ever I try to render an animation it renders the water simulation too. I just need one frame of the water simulation. Is there a way to do this?

Using echo "20+5" literally produces the text "20+5".  What command can I use to get the numeric sum, 25 in this case?  Also, what's the easiest way to do it just using bash for floating point? For example, echo $((3224/3807.0)) prints 0 :(.  I am looking for answers using either the basic command shell ('command line') itself or through using languages that are available from the command line. At work today, I came across the volatile keyword in Java. Not being very familiar with it, I found . Given the detail in which that article explains the keyword in question, do you ever use it or could you ever see a case in which you could use this keyword in the correct manner? drupal 7 + services 3 - inserting nodes with select fields I'm using Drupal 7 + Services 3 to create nodes with POST and JSON. Everything works fine, except field types of select - entity reference select or plain text.  The entity reference uses the autocomplete widget, while the text select is a plain radio button.  This is the format I'm using:  "field_urgency": {     "und": [  {  "value": 1    }   ] } How is it the Voyagers are a few seconds closer to Earth than earlier? The  of March 01, 2013 put it's distance at 14 hrs 04 mins 23 secs of light-travel time from Earth. A  (earlier today) tweet says it is 14 hrs 04 mins 22 secs of light-travel time from Earth. An  tweet put it still further out at 14 hrs 04 mins 25 secs of light-travel time.  The Voyager 2 tweets on Voyager 1's proximity to Earth too has reduced similarly to  earlier today from  reported on Feb 28 2013  It could quite simply be a typo ... If not a typo then my curiosity is piqued; I was under the impression the Voyagers are outbound from the Solar System now without any major in-system activities now.   How is it the Voyagers are closer to Earth than before? I often find that I can zoom in to a point, but then cannot zoom any more, even when there is a lot of room to zoom to the meshes on the scene.   This is particularly annoying in the following scenario:  I often land up left clicking on the scene and the 3D cursor shifts there. I use Shift+C to shift the 3D cursor back to the origin. However, this also centers the view on the cursor and shifts the view to show all objects, and sometimes this zooms things way out &ndash; at this point, if I try to zoom in, I can zoom in to a point (using the pinch/zoom on trackpad), but then it stops zooming in.   How do I zoom in after that? Is there anything else I am doing wrong in this case? Travelling as unmarried couple in Dubai I'd wish to visit Dubai with my girlfriend, but after reading  and  I started to get a little worried about it. How should I book an hotel? Must I book two singles? Could it be a problem if we walk together in the city and go together to restaurants and malls without being married? I've found a couple of references () that suggest using final as much as possible and I'm wondering how important that is. This is mainly in the the context of method parameters and local variables, not final methods or classes. For constants, it makes obvious sense.  On one hand, the compiler can make some optimizations and it makes the programmer's intent clearer. On the other hand, it adds verbosity and the optimizations may be trivial.  Is it something I should make an effort to remember? As I show below, typical alien depictions include an elongated, pale face, two dark elliptical eyes, and a small mouth.

I need to remove every line that has a value of 2 or less in the 8th field (column).   My data looks like this:  12-31   Airport 189 379 41  49.70946503 -124.91377258   2   2880    30.8 01-01   AlberniElementary   165 331 16  49.26100922 -124.80662537   4   5760    26.1 01-09   BamfieldMarine  161 323 23  48.83490372 -125.13572693   2   2875    27.4 01-10   BamfieldMarine  161 323 23  48.83490372 -125.13572693   3   3068    38.6   I understand that using awk I can strip off the values desired and print them to another file, and I understand that sed would edit the current file. In either case, I need to retain the original file.   Note: Please provide thorough explanations with your solutions. It is not suffice to just write the command, please annotate suggestions.   Further note: The data has a header line, so most likely solution will need to      awk 'FNR >1'   I suppose? As Joel points out in , in  (aka: K &amp; R), there is mention of this property of arrays in C: a[5] == 5[a]  Joel says that it's because of pointer arithmetic but I still don't understand. Why does a[5] == 5[a]?
