Fast way of copying IMAP to IMAP on CentOS I'm trying to copy of IMAP emails from one server to my new server but after Googling for hours and trying several tools, nothing is working. Is there a tool that actually works?  I am copying hundreds of thousands of emails so using a email client is out of the question, I tried it, and at the rate of a email per 2 seconds, it would take a few weeks or months!  www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/ is commonly mentioned, however, the tool is no longer available.  I tried www.athensfbc.com/imap_tools/ which just hangs and does nothing.  Any migration tools that work? In the  library, they are overloading the () operator.  Is this a convention in C++? For callbacks, etc.?  I have seen this in code of a co-worker (who happens to be a big Boost fan). Of all the Boost goodness out there, this has only led to confusion for me.  Any insight as to the reason for this overload? Does Android hide some amount of RAM from the User? I bought a new tablet, but Android (2.3.1) shows that it has only 150MB free of 256MB, and it should have 512MB.  I checked the file /proc/meminfo, MemTotal information. It only shows 256MB. Is there a possibility that the Android "hid" 256MB of RAM from the user? Comparison between integrals Let's say - $F(x) &gt; G(x)$ for all $x$ in $E$.  So is it true that ?  $$\int F(x)\,dx  &gt; \int G(x)\,dx$$ or I can use this statement only when the two functions are non-negative functions.  Thanks! Relating the Color of meat to doneness I want to know more about how to correlate the color of meat to its level of doneness. How do I recognize how cooked my meat is based solely on color? I'm trying to create globally-unique identifiers in JavaScript.  I'm not sure what routines are available on all browsers, how &quot;random&quot; and seeded the built-in random number generator is, etc. The GUID / UUID should be at least 32 characters and should stay in the ASCII range to avoid trouble when passing them around. How to turn particle emission on/off? Is there a way to animate whether or not a particle emitter is emitting particles at a given point in time?  I'm using the particle system to animate bullets, so basically I'm trying to find a way to say: at frame 150 the gun fires a burst until frame 170, at frame 240 it fires a burst until frame 265, and so on.  I've tried key framing the particle render setting between "object" and "none", but the problem with that is that the hidden particles are still there, so when the render setting switches to "object", the particles that were initially hidden suddenly appear.  I've also thought of putting a plane (not rendered) with a collision modifier in front of the emitter and then moving it when I want the emitter to start emitting particles.  Is there a better way? What do we mean when we say "for all n where n is an element of..." When we write "for all n where n is an element of A, P(n) is true." do we mean for all n, if n is in A then Pn or for all n, n is in A and Pn? Constructing a continuous distribution to match $m$ moments What are PATH and other environment variables, and how can I set or use them? Questions about    setting environment variables the PATH   are very common here, and in most cases the answers are very similar to each other. In the future it would be nice to have a good Q/A for this.  So the question is: What are environment variables, like the executable PATH, and how can I change and use them on major operating systems?  A good answer would include a simple explanation of what environment variables and especially PATH mean to the OS, as well as simple guidelines on how to set and read them accordingly. Finding a closed form for a recurrence relation $a_n=3a_{n-1}+4a_{n-2}$ Consider the sequence defined by $$ \begin{cases} a_0=1\\ a_1=2\\ a_n=3a_{n-1}+4a_{n-2} &amp; \text{if }n\ge 2 \end{cases} .$$ Find a closed form for $a_n$.    I tried listing out examples, but I don't see any common pattern between them.  All solutions are greatly appreciated.

In contemporary philosophy, how exactly is the nature of logical principles defined? For example, the way I've commonly seen logical principles construed are as true propositions which described the most general laws of reality. The previous definition does seem very intuitive to me; if we understand logical principles as being concerned with truth, and if we accept a correspondence theory of truth, then logical principles simply describe fundamental laws regarding various states of affairs occurring in reality. (e.g. If state of affairs S1 obtains and state of affairs S2 obtains, then state of affairs S3 must also obtain given logical law L).  However, I've mostly heard the previous view expressed among laypersons. I'm interested to know how most philosophers would think about the nature of logical principles. Let $f$ be a measurable function on a measure space $X$ and suppose that $fg \in L^1$ for all $g\in L^q$. Must $f$ be in $L^p$, for $p$ the conjugate of $q$? If we assume that $\|fg\|_1 \leq C\|g\|_q$ for some constant $C$, this follows from the Riesz Representation theorem. But what if we aren't given that such a $C$ exists? "Missing return statement" within if / for / while Who are the Steam Mascots? So with the Steam Summer Sale in full swing, I've finally taken notice of the Steam Mascots.  Judging by the latest background, the black one, at least, has a name: Cyl.  Do the other two have names as well? Are there only these three?   What's their story? Get steam to realize I have games already installed I uninstalled and re-installed steam. I didn't uninstall my games, and they still exist on my hard drive (I checked).  I have an SSD and a HDD, and to save space I install programs (including steam) to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam drive (SSD) and games to D:\Games\SteamApps (HDD). How to I let steam know the programs are installed there? Chain-calling parent initialisers in python Number or regions formed when $n$ points on a circle are joined The maximum number $R_{n}$ of regions formed when $n$ points on a circle are joined in pairs is $\frac{1}{24}\left(n^{4}-6n^{3}+23n^{2}-18n+24\right)$.  This is a fact that I have read in several essays on the dangers of jumping to conclusions in mathematics.  In your opinion, what's the quickest (and/or nicest) way to prove this formula?  Professor  explains somewhere an especially convincing way to tackle this pearl following an idea which a certain high schooler in one of his talks (lectures?) came up with; yet, I don't remember  where it was that I actually read this...  Let me thank you in advance for your insightful replies. What’s the best way to reload / refresh an iframe? I would like to reload an &lt;iframe&gt; using JavaScript. The best way I found until now was set the iframe’s src attribute to itself, but this isn’t very clean. Any ideas?
