I've disabled automatic checking for Java updates the Java Control Panel, but my changes are always ignored, as I can confirm by checking the control panel after making and saving my changes:    How do I really disable automatic checking for Java updates?
I'm having a heck of a time trying to disable the option  "Check for updates Automatically"  I ran composer to see what plist was being modified and it looks like ~/Library/Preferences/com.oracle.javadeployment.plist  &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"    "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"&gt; &lt;plist version="1.0"&gt; &lt;dict&gt;     &lt;key&gt;/com/oracle/javadeployment/&lt;/key&gt;     &lt;dict&gt;         &lt;key&gt;deployment.macosx.check.update&lt;/key&gt;         &lt;string&gt;false&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/plist&gt;   So I experimented with changing that value to true or false and it would not effect the checkbox under the Java Control Panel > Update > Check for Updates Automatically  Your assistance would be much appreciated.  Initially I was looking @ /Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin

Extreme of $\cos A\cos B\cos C$ in a triangle without calculus. If $A,B,C$ are angles of a triangle, find the extreme value of $\cos A\cos B\cos C$.

I would like to get the value of the label of the selected drop down item.  In this case, the label is the Name of the Contact.  &lt;aura:component&gt;  &lt;aura:attribute name="contacts" type="Contact[]"/&gt;  &lt;lightning:select label="Contact" aura:id="contactList" name="contactList"&gt;     &lt;aura:iteration items="{!v.contacts}" var="c" indexVar="index"&gt;        &lt;option value="{!c.Id}"&gt;{!c.Name}&lt;/option&gt;    &lt;/aura:iteration&gt;  &lt;/lightning:select&gt;  &lt;/aura:component&gt;   I know how to get the value:  component.find("contactList").get("v.value");   But how do I get the label?

It said they were giving final notice and preparing to file a lawsuit against us.  In our case, the message went to voicemail so the end was cut off, but it seemed like a scam all the way. (We don't have any pending problems with the IRS as far as we know.)  The question was whether this is a known scam? Cannot truncate table because it is being referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint? Using MSSQL2005, can I truncate a table with a foreign key constraint if I first truncate the child table (the table with the primary key of the FK relationship)?  I know that I can either   Use a DELETE without a where clause and then RESEED the identity (or) Remove the FK, truncate the table, and recreate the FK.   I thought that as long as I truncated the child table before the parent, I'd be okay without doing either of the options above, but I'm getting this error:     Cannot truncate table 'TableName' because it is being referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint. Prove that $|\log(1 + x^2) - \log(1 + y^2)| \le |x-y|$ I need to show that $ \forall x,y \in \mathbb R, |\log(1 + x^2) - \log(1 + y^2)| \le |x-y|$  I tried using concavity of log function: $\log(1 + x^2) - \log(1 + y^2)=\log(\frac{1 + x^2}{1 + y^2})=\log(\frac{x^2y^2}{(1 + y^2)y^2}+\frac{1}{1 + y^2}) \ge \frac{2(\log(x)-\log(y))}{1+y^2}$  Also the middle value theorem: $0&lt;\frac{\log(1 + x^2) - \log(1 + y^2)}{x^2-y^2} &lt;1$  But both attempts has not led too far.

A cardinal $\kappa$ such that $2^{\lambda}<\kappa$ for all $\lambda<\kappa$ is regular? A cardinal $\kappa$ such that $2^{\lambda}&lt;\kappa$ for all $\lambda&lt;\kappa$ is regular?  I would appreciate very much an answer What do you call a response which does not address the question? When some one is asked a question, sometimes if they are trying to avoid answering the question, they respond with something unrelated. What is the word for that response?  Eg. A: Why were you late?     B: This bagel tastes good.  What I am looking for is the name of that response, not the action.

Limits of dead reckoning using MEMS sensors I'm trying to track body parts relative to a person's torso. I see quite a few questions about using MEMS accelerometers and gyros for dead reckoning, and they confirm my suspicions that various factors greatly limit their usefulness for these sorts of applications, but I'm seeking clarification of these limits:   What exactly are these limits?  Other answers have addressed why these limits exist. Naturally the specifications the parts in the system in question and what is considered "acceptable error" for the system will both change the exact limits, but is there a single order of magnitude in time, or distance that I can expect dead reckoning to work? I'm well aware that over long distances (a few yards or so) the error becomes too large for most practical purposes, but what about within a few feet?  What can I do to improve these limits?  I'm currently looking at using an accelerometer and a gyro. What other sensors can I add to the system to improve the error rate? I know over longer distances a GPS can be used, but I doubt any consumer electronics grade GPS has fine enough resolution to help in my case.  Additionally, a general consensus seems to the only way to improve these limits past the point of improved sensors is to provide a reference not subject to error. Some systems solve this using cameras and markers.  What kind of reference points can a portable/wearable device provide?   I've seen the usage of radio waves to measure long distances accurately, but I can't tell if such a system could be accurate on such small scale (in terms of distance measured) using "off-the-shelf" components. For example, is it possible to drink a flying potion and cast greater invisibility spell on myself (both spells would require concentration), so I can fly around invisible? Movie Identification - 1990s VHS Sci-Fi/Horror Does $\int_{ - 1}^1 {\frac{1}{x}dx} = 0 \text { or } \infty $? Does anyone know?  And a bigger question is what happens when you encounter this maximum? Is this the same number with other Windows OSs such as Vista, XP etc.? How can I tell which cards or sets are currently legal in various formats? I haven't played Magic: the Gathering since the days of Onslaught and Mirrodin, and I would like to try to catch back up. Since all my cards are quite dated now, I may be more interested in formats other than the most up-to-date one.  Rather than ask what is currently legal in various formats (since that is likely too localized), I would rather pose the question of how can I tell which sets/cards are legal in each format.
