I recently gained a badge and I wonder: will I be notified for all new badges in my achievement box? I was not notified for the  badge. Is this the correct behavior?
Yesterday, I have received two : Revival, and Self-Learner. However I was only notified of the Revival badge, because apparently the Self-Learner badge is not considered "".  What badges have their notification suppressed if the user has a 200-rep account somewhere on the Stack Exchange network, i.e. they won't trigger a new item in our achievements dialog?
Lower the amount of reputation needed to comment is a great example of people coming from Google and using answers as comments.  I understand the reputation threshold is there to prevent spam, but Answers are just as prone to spam as comments and you can post them at reputation 1. Furthermore there are already flags in place as a preventive measure for both.  Essentially the reputation threshold of comments is forcing people to use the site in ways the designers did not intend. Removal of the reputation cap would also make the site more new user friendly as newbies that use the site in this manner are commonly given a unfriendly welcome in the form of downvotes from people who forget you need 50 rep to post comments. While traveling in the Berlin Tegel airport (TXL), I wanted to get on Wi-Fi. I found three unsecured networks in addition to a number of password-protected networks.   _Free_TXL_WiFi airberlin Berlin Tegel Airport WiFi   I had no idea which of these were an official Wi-Fi network provided by the airport and which were provided by other people, potentially for malicious purposes like capturing my network traffic. Presumably the official one uses a captive portal to allow internet access.  Is there any way to determine which Wi-Fi network is the official one provided by the airport? Would airport staff such as at the ticketing booths know? Are there official lists available somewhere?  I’d like an answer that is applicable to airports generally, rather than specific to the Berlin Airport. Also, please don’t just give a blanket “don’t use any public Wi-Fi network” answer; I know there are risks associated with it, but sometimes it is a necessity and so I want to know how to identify the airport-provided one.   suggests there are no official Wi-Fi networks, but the answers are six years old, so it’s not clear if things have changed or if none of the networks I saw were official. Is there any way to hide taskbar labels and not combine taskbar buttons? There are three options for customizing taskbar buttons in Windows 7:   Always combine, hide labels Combine when taskbar is full Never combine   Is there any way to hide labels and not combine taskbar buttons? Or even better, to exclude only certain applications from combining?  My main problem is that I switch a lot between two instances of a single application, and having to hover over combined icon and then choosing the correct one. Alt-Tabbing is not a good alternative when I'm switching between more than three applications; clicking on taskbar only once is what I'm looking for. C#: code error while changing the active directory user's password Recalculate google sheet on demand: I have the following formula in a sheet:  =if(E1="HOLD",,query(Cust_Orders!B6:Z5000,"Select Y,G,I,H,K where H&gt;0  "))   With E1 being a drop down with values HOLD and FETCH  The recalculation when I go to FETCH takes about 13 seconds.  But when it is in HOLD, the query doesn't exceute, and everything goes blank. Not what I want.  I'm trying to avoid recalculating this query every time I make a change in the Cust_Orders range, but keep the old values, as two different pivot tables that are viewed by other people are dependent on it.  Google spreadsheet recalc settings all are 'on change and foo'  Is there a way to do this? Is there a way to get "people reached" sum across entire network for a user? The New Model profiles on Meta.SE (pretty big improvement!) have a section for "" stat.  Now, unless I'm much mistaken, that stat is specific to a given site on the network.  If that assumption is indeed correct, is there a way to find out the "People Reached" summary across 100% of the sites on the network for all your connected profiles? I apologize for the subjective "best" keyword.  My friend and I have started creation of a 2D adventure game. It will be top-down in the style of pokemon or zelda (just the perspective). We have been discussing methods of creating a large world-map that the player can traverse without straining the memory capabilities of our machine.  Our first impulse was to create a large map and a circle around the player in which content will be loaded. We figured this won't hold for long and decided to partition the map into sections. First we had four large sections, but realized we could simply break it down into many tiny sections.  I played some Zelda from the SNES and saw that, during the shift of a map, the content could be loaded just then. What I mean is, instead of just checking a rectangular area for data to load, we simply section the map into many tiny chunks that load and de-load data as we move from map-portion to map-portion.  Today, he told me he wanted to create a simply 2D array map[WIDTH][HEIGHT] that contains data about every grid in the game and is a constant save-to-disk operation for data that we don't need.  I'm not sure about these ideas and thought that I might as it here. Any links, resources or tutorials on the subject would be greatly appreciated as well as direct answers to our question on how to do it efficiently.

I would like to compare the contents of a couple of collections in my Equals method.  I have a Dictionary and an IList.  Is there a built-in method to do this?  Edited: I want to compare two Dictionaries and two ILists, so I think what equality means is clear - if the two dictionaries contain the same keys mapped to the same values, then they're equal.

But in Time Crash, 10th solves the problem of the TARDISes occupying the same space because he remembers himself doing it from when he was 5th.  If this is true, 5th wouldn't have wondered whether or not he was going to regenerate when he did.  Does the TARDIS occupying the same space with itself re-instate those memories? Or is it just possible that I'm asking a ridiculous question that will never have an answer because Doctor Who.  :D How can Zeno's dichotomy paradox be disproved using mathematics? A brief description of the paradox taken from :     Suppose Sam wants to catch a stationary bus. Before he can get there, he must get halfway there. Before he can get halfway there, he must get a quarter of the way there. Before traveling a quarter, he must travel one-eighth; before an eighth, one-sixteenth; and so on.      This description requires one to complete an infinite number of tasks, which Zeno maintains is an impossibility. This sequence also presents a second problem in that it contains no first distance to run, for any possible (finite) first distance could be divided in half, and hence would not be first after all. Hence, the trip cannot even begin.      The paradoxical conclusion then would be that travel over any finite   distance can neither be completed nor begun, and so all motion must be   an illusion.   How can this be disproved using math, as obviously we can all move a walk from one place to another? Can I mask an input text in a bat file? Why aren't search engines indexing my content?

Forward/Inverse Search Does Not work on certain tex files I have this weird issue with forward and inverse searches. I am using WinEdt + Sumatra combination. The forward and inverse search works perfectly on certain some .tex files, but fails on some others.  Currently, I am working on a .tex file and the inverse search always points to the end of a section. Where ever I double click in a particular section of the pdf, the inverse search points to the end of that section in the .tex file.  Moreover, when I try to perform forward search (Shift+F8) from the .tex file, the section in the pdf file doesn't get highlighted.  There are other .tex files where both the searches work perfectly. What could be the issue with this .tex file? divisibility of binomial coefficients by primes If $p$ is a prime number and $r = 1,2,3 \dots ,p -1$, how can I prove that the binomial coefficients $_nC_r(p,r)$ are divisible by $p$? By divisible I mean $_nC_r(p,r)/p$ leaves remainder $0$.  oivind Create a .desktop file that opens and execute a command in a terminal I would like to know how to write the Exec command of a .desktop file to open a new terminal and execute a shell script in it. The shell script is working and accessible by all users. When launching the script from the terminal everything works, but it doesn't when trying to launch the script from a .desktop file.  Here are some combinations I have already tried:  Exec=gnome-terminal -x sh -c 'echo hello' Exec=sh -c 'gnome-terminal echo hello' Exec=sh -c 'echo hello' Exec=echo hello   The .desktop terminal option is set to true. How to render a pixelated, occluded wireframe with freestyle? I'd like to combine these features:    The pixelated look of a wire material with anti-aliasing disabled. Proper occlusion of hidden lines.   A wireframe material produces the first feature, freestyle produces the second. Can a line set be created that produces neither double pixels nor gaps? Line thickness alone does not seem to be the answer.  There is the trick with two materials and z-offset, but I have trouble getting a really clean solution at the outline of the object. So a freestyle solution would be best.    The main problem is that freestyle (to the right) produces double pixels: How can I list all user names and/or home directories? I want to list all the users dirs on the machine.Usually, I will do:  ls -l /home   But I use it in a script that will be deployed on others machines and maybe on that machines they don't call it home (e.g. myHome). So I want to generalize it to ls -l ~. But it just lists my users home dirs instead of all users home dirs name (basically I want to get a list of the users names on the machine). How can I generalize it?
