I know the title's wording is a bit confusing, so here's an example scenario: I have  in play and I cast  for 0 mana. My understanding ( and my understanding of the rules) is that Chimeric Mass will have one charge counter on it as opposed to zero. Is this correct?
If I play a spell with {X} in the mana cost, and I have a card out that reduces the casting cost by 2 generic mana, what happens to the X? Does it start at -2?  For example: I have  in play. If I play  for just 1 blue mana, do we draw 2 cards?

For example:  $ cat &gt;f q w e w r $ awk '!a[$0]++' &lt;f q w e r $    The original code I have found on the internets read:  awk '!_[$0]++'  This was even more perplexing to me as I took _ to have a special meaning in awk, like in Perl, but it turned out to be just a name of an array.  Now, I understand the logic behind the one-liner:  each input line is used as a key in a hash array, thus, upon completion, the hash contains unique lines in the order of arrival.  What I would like to learn is how exactly this notation is interpreted by awk. E.g. what the bang sign (!) means and the other elements of this code snippet.  How does it work? I have to teach the Bayes formula to some undergraduates, in the form:  $$ P(A|B) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(B)} = \frac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B)} $$  I was wondering if anyone had any really thoughtful or alternative ways of teaching it instead of the standard approach. I just visited  and noticed that my profile picture is not the same as on all other sites.  According to  the image will be synchronized when synchronizing the complete profile. I did that but the image is still the same.  Then I wanted to change the image in the Area51 profile directly - but I can only change to a gravatar image and can't use the new and fancy Stack Exchange image.  Is that a bug? We've heard it many times, nothing can escape the gravity of a black hole, even light once it's past the event horizon.  If this is true, how can a black hole emit anything?  are massive black holes that have consumed enormous amounts of matter and energy, and then blasted it back out into the universe.

I add js file with drupal_add_js in hook_form_alter, it is ok and I see it in list of js loaded in page, but when I submit form and form not validate and return to that form (after validation failed) I don't see js files that added to form, why this happened? and how can add my js file in that form after validation failed ?   some part of my code   function mymodle_form_alter(&amp;$form, $form_state, $form_id) {   if ($form_id == 'news_node_form') {     drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('module', 'mymodule') .

Im new to Blender but have some experience with 3dsmax. In blender, when i select some polys and try to scale them, i have no control on the amount and especially relative axis on which the scale would happen, where as with 3ds max i could scale restricted to x, y, z or any combination of using the handy widget. Is there a way to replicate this, or to get any control over the scale ?  thanks, Diagram of an artificial neural network verb or adjective in "The blue page is *stapled* to the red page"? How to specify ec2 instance types for different services? After I have specified a default EC2 instance type for my Juju charm, how do I override that for one of the services?  For instance, the  deploys wordpress and mysql, and I can set the default-instance-type in my environments.yaml so both services are m1.small  But how do I configure it so that (only) the mysql service gets deployed on an instance type better suited to a database, like m2.xlarge ? Check if a class is derived from a generic class I'm trying to load a field value (machine name: field_theme_image) from a content of node value 3, in "page--front.tpl.php".  &lt;?php   $node=node_load(3);   print $node-&gt;field_theme_image[$node-&gt;language][0]['uri']; ?&gt;   Using the above code I'm not getting full URL value.

I'm trying to set up port forwarding in an AWS EC2 instance, this has to be done in the command-line because I don't want to go in and edit anything, it has to be automatic (it's part of a build process).   sudo echo "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1" &gt;&gt; /etc/sysctl.conf      Permission denied   The weird thing is I've been (successfully) using sudo for pretty much every command that required su privileges. If I do sudo su before the command (trying it out by hand in an ssh session), then it works.  Reasons behind this? Possible solutions that don't involve sudo su or manual edits? complex number question involving modulus Let $z, w$ be distinct complex numbers. Show that if $|z| = 1$ or $|w| = 1$, then $$\frac{|z − w|}{|1 − z^*w|} = 1$$ [Hint: Note that $|a|^2 = aa^*$.]  Hey guys, couldn't get my thinking cap on for this question. Any helpful input? Will appreciate it! Currently, once an edit by a user without full edit privilege is suggested, it can be either approved or rejected.  There is a known edge case that cause suggested edits to get auto rejected: (aka edit conflict)   User with full edit privilege click "edit" and start typing. Let's name this user Joe. Since the user from previous step did not yet send the edit, users without full edit privilege can still click the "edit" as well, oblivious to the fact someone else is editing the same post in those very seconds. Such user click "edit" too and start typing. Let's name this user Kenny. Kenny is faster than Joe: he send his edit first, creating new suggested edit. Joe is still typing. Joe finally done typing. He send his edit to its merry way oblivious to the consequences. As result of the full edit made by Joe, Kenny's suggested edit is kicked away and rejected. Boom.   This is all known and reported many times.  where the user got it hard with at least two auto rejections in short period of time. Some concrete examples: , , .  For edge case, it became pretty thick edge. This is not just minor hassle: enough rejections, and the user is banned from suggesting for a whole week: and remember we're talking here about good edits made by good users. The above used to count for the ban, but . Thanks Gilles for requesting such a change!   I know it was already suggested to lock edits and similar solutions, but I suggest whole different approach: instead of auto rejecting the suggested edit, dismiss it, i.e. cancel it like it never existed same way a bounty can be revoked by moderator.  In the edit suggestion page it will show "Dismissed" instead of Approved or Rejected maybe with a tooltip explaining what caused this. This will soften the blow from those edge cases, taking the edge out of them. :) How can I set custom key bindings and key macros on Mac OS X? I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, from Leopard and I was using an awesome app called  that let you remap your keys, set scripts/macros and even had repeat functionality.   However, this app doesn't seem to be in active development anymore, and 10.6 broke the ability to bind certain modifier keys (Shift) with other keys.   I totally miss things like Shift+Insert for paste (Linux/Windows), setting Ctrl+Shift+Esc for Activity Monitor, and Ctrl+Alt+Del for the login window.   So, how can I achieve this instead? How to remove extra start item from boot menu? I bought a laptop recently. While Windows 7 was installing, the battery died. So I plugged in the charger and re-installed Windows 7 Home Basic from the start. After completion of the procedure I now have 2 Windows folders in my C:\ drive, so I deleted the old Windows folder.  The problem is, while booting time it shows two Windows 7 options, although I already deleted the old Windows folder.  How can I remove old Windows 7 option from my boot?
