This is a generalization of:    Suppose I'm flying with a certain airline from point A to point C via point B. The maximum luggage allowance on this flight is, say, 2 pieces (never mind the exact weight and dimension limits). At A, I check in 1 piece of such luggage. The plane takes off and puts me in B, where I disembark and go into the airport.  At this point, one of the following happens:   I purchase a bunch of items in the duty free shops, including, say, a suitcase into which I put them. A mysterious stranger somehow hands me a suitcase. The airport has a luggage holding service past its security check and passport control area (I'm not sure there are such airports at all in the world), and I have deposited a piece of luggage there at an earlier time. A friend of mine on the other side of the security, passport and customs checks walks up to the airline's counter, with a duly signed and notarized letter from me asking that they carry a second piece of luggage.   Let's assume my new suitcase is under the weight &amp; dimension limits, but is too large and/or heavy to be carried on board. Assume also that I don't cross into the sovereign territory, i.e. don't pass passports, security and customs control.  Will I be able to have the airline carry my second piece of luggage from B to C? Or rather, are there combinations of airline, airport and scenarios from the above list for which I'll be able to have my second piece of luggage carried to C?
I will have a 10 hour layover in Seoul (ICN) and I want to go out and do some shopping. Is it possible to check in a bag during my layover?  I will be traveling on Korean Air.  I will only have 1 checked bag, and international flights allow 2 bags free.
Why are there $1 / 1.602176634 \times 10^{-19}$ electrons in a coulomb? Why that exact number of electrons in one coulomb? who decided it? there is nothing wrong with the number, it just seems slightly messy. Why didn't the scientific community just settle on an easier number, such as $1\times10^{-19}$ for example? Is there a word to describe a highly desirable cursed treasure? Is there a single word to describe an object or idea that is so desirable that everyone wants to attain it but once they have it they are immediately cursed?  The idea is often used in literature—some examples:   In Lord of the Rings, the 'one ring' is a perfect example of this. In Guy de Maupassant's story , the necklace might be considered to be this. There are many stories of people making deals with the devil (see question: ), or being granted three wishes by a Djinn or fairy, which inevitably turn out bad. In the Twilight Zone episode , Bemis's desire to be left alone with his books would be an example of this word.   'Bane' covers the cursed part, but no one desires it.  Is there a single word to describe a most highly desired treasure that (knowingly or unknowingly) comes with a curse? Android Nougat .  It adds features such as multi-window support.  You can review the high-level changes at .  Of course, not all devices will get this update right away, even at release; others won't get it at all. Manufacturers and carriers often choose to add their own custom modifications, which tend to delay the official release.  When will each device get Nougat, either officially or unofficially, if ever?  See also: Class imbalance strategies When dealing with the class imbalance problem in a binary classifier, there are three ways I know of to address it: over-sampling, under-sampling and using cost-sensitive methods.   Are there any guidelines, rules of thumb or general strategies to choose among these methods? A possible answer would be: over-sample when the positive class has more than 100 instances (I just made it up). Using 'very' with a noun Is the uncertainty principle just saying something about what an observer can know or is it a fundamental property of nature? I ask this question because I have read two different quotes on the  that don't seem to match very well. There are similar questions around here but I would like an explanation that reconciles these two interpretations specifically:   Feynman talks about the uncertainty principle in one of his lectures and mentions it as the reason why electrons don't crash into the atom's nucleus: If they did they would have an exact location and momentum which is not allowed by the uncertainty principle. In saying this it is clear that the uncertainty principle is a fundamental property of nature because it has an effect on where an electron can reside. Recently I read - somewhere else but I forgot where exactly - an account of the uncertainty principle where there was explained how we can measure position of a particle by firing another particle into it, the collision disturbs the velocity of the observed particle therefore we can not know its momentum anymore.   Now, 2) very much seems like a limitation of what the observer can know, while 1) attributes a fundamental property of nature to it (electrons don't crash into the nucleus). What is the correct way to think about this? I am using Ubuntu 11.10 (64 bits) and I do not want to mount automatically USB thumb drives in my system. I tried the command dconf-editor and gconf-editor but there isn't the icon to disable it in nautilus preferences (apps|nautilus|preferences|media_automount).  Thanks. Dirac Delta or Dirac delta function? I'm trying to make a page where a user provides an ID of a attachment and the site will set the headers and deliver that file instead of a 404 page. so /download/1754 would lookup the attachment with that Id and output it for viewing/download depending on the file type.  I just can't think of a wordpress friendly way to do this from inside a plugin. I considered using add_rewrite_rule but couldn't see a good way around it, also considered checking $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] to deliver the content before any HTML but then I'd have to stop the page from rendering a 404 and I was not sure of a Wordpress friendly way to do this.  My current idea was to have my plugin make a download page, assign a template and have that template run the logic instead of my plugin class. while I have used this before for another situation it was very messy as I had to write a lot of code to force users to be unable to update or edit the file and recreate/delete it on activation.deactivation. so ideally I'd like to avoid that. Daily Ubuntu base update I am getting Ubuntu base update almost every day. This seems strange to me. What am I missing?   (I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS) How to solve a difference equation? So I have the difference equation $4y_{k+1} = 2y_k$.  I need to solve this equation, first with the initial condition $y_0 = 0$ and then with the initial condition $y_0 = 2$.  The professor wrote on the answer sheet that applying iteratively the recurrence relation it is easy to check that:  $y_k= (1/2)^k y_0 $.  Since I missed the lecture where he explained this, can somebody explain how to come about with this question?  I imagine that once I get the equation, then the initial condition $y_0 = 0$ gives us the particular solution $y_k = 0$. Thus the other initial condition $y_0 = 2$ is verified by the solution $y_k = 2(1/2)^k$.  Any help on how to get to the equation $y_k= (1/2)^k y_0$ will be appreciated. White screen of death: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of X bytes exhausted I have a issue with my Drupal installation, for example:   when I enable or disable the modules, It redirects me to a blank page, when I create a new content type and save it, redirects me to a blank page, when I add a new view and save it, it redirects me to a blank page, when I try to clear the cache, it redirects me back to a blank page, or in similar cases.   Basically all the confirmation pages redirect me to a white screen. When I refresh it again, it shows me the page. I tried to increase the PHP memory value but it doesn't help.  Are there any other solutions for this?  The error which I'm having:      Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 100663296 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 8192 bytes) in sites/all/modules/views/plugins/views_plugin_localization_none.inc on line 1 Is it possible to use text-overflow:ellipsis on multiline text? What does one second after big bang mean? Consider the following statement:     Hadron Epoch, from $10^{-6}$ seconds to $1$ second: The temperature of the   universe cools to about a trillion degrees, cool enough to allow   quarks to combine to form hadrons (like protons and neutrons).   What does it mean to say "from $10^{-6}$ seconds to $1$ second"?   How is time being measured?  One particle might feel just $10^{-20}\ \mathrm s$ having passed and another could feel $10^{-10}\ \mathrm s$ having passed.   Is saying "1 second after the big bang" a meaningful statement? Strange Pop-up appldnld.apple.com:80 I received a strange Pop Up message. The unsettling part is password will be sent in clear text.  Is my phone affected with any malware or app virus ? Usually I use beamer  with the Warsaw theme which puts theorems (and other things) in boxes. Now I switched my theme to Marburg but i still want to keep the boxes. How can one do that? maximize volume of triangle in given perimeter I've recently beat the Ender Dragon. I've heard there is a way to respawn her. How do I do that? Experience using dropdowns in-line of sentence "mad lib" style Do you have experience implementing text inputs or drop-downs in-line with other text or forms? Is this approach any better than just creating a separate field/label?  In the example below the user has the option to indicate when to be reminded again (in one, two, or three days). When they are reminded of an assignment, they simply get an email or text message. Significance of $\sqrt[n]{a^n} $?! There is a formula given in my module:  $$ \sqrt[n]{a^n} = \begin{cases}  \, a  &amp;\text{ if $n$ is odd } \\  |a| &amp;\text{ if $n$ is even } \end{cases} $$  I don't really understand the differences between them, kindly explain with an example.
