Whenever both my roommate and I use the wifi in a certain room in our apartment, it slows dramatically for me. It doesn't slow for him. If he uses it in another room, it's fine; if I use it in another room together with him, it's fine; it's just in this particular room.   Does anyone know of a reason why this is?

Why was my flag declined? I've recently flagged the following , which I got in the flag queue.   The answer does not seem to attempt to address the question at all. It looks like a comment on one of the other answers (probably Luca's).  It got rejected with the following reason:  declined - flags should not be used to indicate technical inaccuracies,            or an altogether wrong answer   I did not flag this because I thought it was wrong, I flagged it because I didn't think it was an attempt to answer the question. For what it's worth, I don't get what the guy who provided that answer even tried to say.  Was I wrong to flag it? If so why? Dual Canadian and British citizen - healthcare coverage in the UK? CSS: Special Fluid Layout Problems What properties do natural isomorphisms between functors preserve? If $F,G: C \rightarrow D$ are functors between regular categories and $F \Rightarrow G$ is a natural isomorphism, is it true that if $F$ is faithful {resp. full) then $G$ is full?  I believe this is true but would like some confirmation.  What about if $F$ is essentially surjective?  Is it necessarily true that $G$ is essentially surjective?  Thanks. I've just started to learn about the tensor product and I want to show: $$(\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}) \otimes_\mathbb{Z} (\mathbb{Z} / n \mathbb{Z}) \cong \mathbb{Z}/ \gcd(m,n)\mathbb{Z}.$$  Can you tell me if my proof is right:  $\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathbb{Z} / n \mathbb{Z}$ are both finite free $\mathbb{Z}$-modules with the basis consisting of one single element $\{ 1 \}$. So $(\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}) \otimes_\mathbb{Z} (\mathbb{Z} / n \mathbb{Z})$ has the basis $\{ 1 \otimes 1 \}$.  Therefore, any element in $(\mathbb{Z}/m\mathbb{Z}) \otimes_\mathbb{Z} (\mathbb{Z} / n \mathbb{Z})$  is of the form $(ab) 1 \otimes 1$ and any element in $\mathbb{Z}/ \gcd(m,n)\mathbb{Z}$ is of the form $k 1 = k$ where $k \in \{ 0, \dots , \gcd(n,m) \}$.  I would like to construct an isomorphism that maps $ab$ to some $k$. Let this map be $ab (1 \otimes 1) \mapsto ab \bmod \gcd(n,m)$.  This is a homomorphism between modules: it maps $0$ to $0$ because it maps the empty sum to the empty sum. It also fulfills $f(a + b) = f(a) + f(b)$ because there is only one element, $a = 1$.   It is surjective. So all I need to show is that it is injective. But that is clear too because if $ab \equiv 0 \bmod \gcd(m,n)$  then both $a \equiv 0 \bmod n$ and $b \equiv 0 \bmod m$ so the kernel is trivial.  Many thanks for your help!! I'm planning a trip to recover a motorcycle from a distant city. The ideal trip would be flying to that location and coming back riding the bike, but that would require me to transport my riding gear with me in the plane: Leathers, boots, gloves, back protector and crash helmet.  All this is bulky and expensive stuff, and a crash helmet may be damaged if dropped or hit hard.   I don't expect any airline to allow me a crash helmet as hand luggage; and wearing it all the time is out of the question :-)   To complicate things, I would be coming back riding the bike, so any hard suitcase would have to be left behind.   How do people normally transport that kind of stuff? Why doesn't the Sun appear green to our eyes? What is a “protected” or "highly active" question?

Evaluate the following integral:  $$\int \frac{\sqrt{\sin ^4x+\cos ^4x}}{\sin ^3x \cos x }dx$$ where $x \in \big(0,\frac{\pi}{2} \big)$  Could some give me hint as how to approach this question?  I tried to use the fact that $\sin ^4x+\cos ^4x=1-\frac{sin^22x}{2}$ but it didn't help. How should I proceed? How do I increase my code coverage, or why can't I cover these lines? Do strong and weak interactions have classical force fields as their limits? Electromagnetic interaction has classical electromagnetism as its classical limit. Is it possible to similarly describe strong and weak interactions classically? How do I show that there exists variational/action principle for a given classical system? We see variational principles coming into play in different places such as Classical Mechanics (Hamilton's principle which gives rise to the Euler-Lagrange equations), Optics (in the form of Fermat's principle) and even General Relativity (we get Einstein's equation from the Einstein-Hilbert action). However, how do we explain this very principle, i.e., more mathematically, I want to ask the following:      If I am given a set of generalized positions and velocities, say, $\{q_{i}, \dot{q}_{i}\}$, which describes a classical system with known dynamics (equations of motion), then, how do I rigorously show that there always exists an action functional $A$, where    $$A ~=~ \int L(q_{i}, \dot{q}_{i})dt,$$    such that $\delta A = 0$ gives the correct equations of motion and trajectory of the system?    I presume historically, the motivation came from Optics: i.e., light rays travel along a path where $S = \int_{A}^{B} n ds$ is minimized (or at least stationary). (Here, $ds$ is the differential element along the path). I don't mind some symplectic geometry talk if that is needed at all. Finding the perimeter of a right triangle with area given I am looking to identify a story that I read around 2001 (it is probably much older).  Someone showed me the story on pages printed from the internet, and it was attributed to Isaac Asimov (although I cannot state that is the true author).    The story is told in glimpses at different points of time in the future.  In each glimpse, humans are asking a more and more "intelligent" computer how to prevent the universe from collapsing into a singularity in the future, and the computer states it needs more computational power and resources to solve this problem.  At some point, man becomes one with the computer, and the computer exists in hyperspace (or subspace?).    In the final glimpse, it is the end of time and the universe is collapsing into a singularity.  At the instant the universe reaches the singularity, the computer figures out how to prevent it and says "Let there be light" and the universe begins to expand again.  Is anyone familiar with this story? TikZ arrow emanating from node at an angle for a distance How do I draw a line of length l and at an angle of a from a circular node N in TikZ?

In general, that's not true for retagging; if you don't change the question body at all, it should work.
