I am always confused about where to put adverbs in sentences. For example, consider the questions below:        Why did they target us specifically?   Why did they target specifically us?   Why did they specifically target us?      I believe all these sentences mean the same. Am I correct? I am always confused about where to put adverbs such as always and specifically, etc. Is there a particular grammar rule for this?  Funny, you see, I can even form the above sentence in different ways.         I always confuse where to put this kind of adverb   Always I confuse where to put this kind of adverb
Inner join using an array column Having trouble indexing and executing a query in O (log n) time.  The query includes an INNER JOIN, an ORDER BY, and an equality operation. If I understand the laws of databases correctly, a query can be indexed and executed in O (log n) time (or thereabouts) if a non-equality operator is not used on more than one column. In this case, I believe the INNER JOIN does count as an equality operator and the non-equality operator would be the ORDER BY portion of the query. This table has upwards of 10,000,000 rows and needs to handle several reads and writes per second.  Using PostgreSQL. This is what the table looks like. As you can see, the column 'Names' is a list property and it is the column that the INNER JOIN goes against:  Age Names                       Date 34  ['carla', 'john', 'sam']    3/13/2011 26  ['json', 'cindy', 'joel']   3/13/2011 72  ['beth', 'amber', 'susie']  3/13/2011 14  ['john', 'jim', 'debie']    3/13/2011   This is the query that we are trying to do:  SELECT * FROM the_table WHERE Age==26 AND Names=='john' ORDER BY Date   My background is from using App Engine's Big Table, so I've used equality operators here to indicate that 'john' should be one of the names in the Names column. This would be an acceptable query in GAE's big table, it would execute in O (log N) time as all Big Table queries are reqyured to do. I am assuming there is a way to do this in PostgreSQL as well since PostgreSQL accepts list data types as columns.  Is this possible to do in PostgreSQL?  If so, how should the index be set up (we can't figure out how to set up an index that takes into account the three properties)? I'm new to Ubuntu, it looks like it is better than Windows. Last day I tried to install Kget (the download manager) but during the process my computer suddenly stopped working. So I had to switch it off. After I logged into Ubuntu again I can't install any program. The Ubuntu Software Center says:  Items cannot be installed or removed until package catalog is repaired. Do you want to repair it now?   After I clicked repair it says (after few seconds):  Package operation fails - The installation or removal of a software package failed   I've tried several times, but the same problem occurred. Can anyone tell me a solution for this problem? Wi-Fi not working on Lenovo ThinkPad E570 (Realtek RTL8821CE) Normally, when a user edits one of my posts, I receive a notification like on the following depending on the case   User has editing privilege (click to visit revision)   Users' edit is submitted to review queue (click to visit review queue)     The above notifications were received instantaneously (or less than 30 minutes, in case caching is supposed to be the answer) as the edit was done/suggested.  But I did not receive any such notification today (yet) on an edit made on my . I think it is a possible bug and should be looked at.

SSL_read failing with SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL error Insert issue with arrays Chain skip happening seemingly at random with a new chain How can I SELECT rows with MAX(Column value), PARTITION by another column in MYSQL?

Result would be:     id home datetime player resource     1 10 04/03/2009 john 399   2 11 04/03/2009 juliet 244   5 12 04/03/2009 borat 555   8 13 01/01/2009 borat 700     I have tried: -- 1 ..by the MySQL manual:   SELECT DISTINCT   home,   id,   datetime AS dt,   player,   resource FROM topten t1 WHERE datetime = (SELECT   MAX(t2.datetime) FROM topten t2 GROUP BY home) GROUP BY datetime ORDER BY datetime DESC  Doesn't work. Result-set has 130 rows although database holds 187. Result includes some duplicates of home. -- 2 ..join  SELECT   s1.id,   s1.home,   s1.datetime,   s1.player,   s1.resource FROM topten s1 JOIN (SELECT   id,   MAX(datetime) AS dt FROM topten GROUP BY id) AS s2   ON s1.id = s2.id ORDER BY datetime   Nope. Gives all the records. -- 3 ..something exotic:   With various results. Just watched the 'How Big is the Universe?' TV program and it indicated that the universe is believed to be infinite in size. They used an approach involving measuring the internal angles of triangles. Or something like that anyway.  But hang on, the Universe has a known starting time and size followed by a finite time expanding at a finite speed. So surely, by definition, it cannot be infinite? I can accept it is honking big but by definition it cannot be infinite. Are they misleading me? Run a command before & after ubuntu apt upgrade & unattended-upgrades Possible Duplicate:          Sounds like a silly question, but bear with me..  If you go into Peet's Coffee and access the wifi, you're taken to a web page that requires a 4-digit code you get with a purchase.   If you do the same at Starbucks you're taken to a page and asked to OK the terms of service.   I want to build something similar for a local independent coffee shop, something that requires the user to write a little about themselves before they can access the Internet.  I'm not sure which way to go -- looking for wifi routers that run an internal web server, or finding one that lets you direct users to an external website for authentication, somehow redirecting back to the access point once successful.   Has anyone done anything like this and can share their experience? Is there a noun that doesn't have a plural in any of its forms? While attempting to answer  @ProgramFox has been trying to come up with an example of a noun with no plural.   The best I've come up with is egotism and Judaism.  ()  Some of the contenders I've already shot down are air, water, and money.  (Airs, waters, and monies are all legitimate plurals.)  My question is, a) Do my two examples have actual plurals?  b) Are there any other non-ism nouns that don't have a plural?

What is the MIME equivalent of uuencode for sendmail? e.g., I've got files I want to send by sendmail but the receiving mailbox (for posting pictures to my blog) will not accept uuencode files a la   $uuencode file | sendmail user@domain  I'm guessing it'll accept MIME though.
