We use the adjectives:  1. big/large/great - small  2. high/great - low  3. more - less when comparing figures; for example:   The number of people in New York is higher/bigger/larger/greater than London.  50 square metres is greater than 50 square centimetres.  New York has more people than London.    Do we use any other comparative adjectives when comparing them?
Which of the following is most correct?      The distance of the shortest path must not be higher than 10km.   The distance of the shortest path must not be greater than 10km.   The distance of the shortest path must not be bigger than 10km.   Or is there an even better word?
There's something funky about some titles in revision histories here on Meta Stack Exchange Check if table exists in SQL Server What is the correct way to pluralize an initialism in which the final word is not pluralized by adding the letter "s"? I just had a case of a user who re-posted his question because his first question was closed as a duplicate. And, logically, I closed his re-post as a duplicate of his original, asking him to edit his original and explain why it's not a duplicate, so we can reopen it.  This process has worked like that for years now, but suddenly I realized that with the new message, question repetition is even encouraged:     This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.   Clearly, a new user who finds their questions closed will now be happy to just post their question again and again, until it's not a duplicate anymore, instead of just fixing their original post.  We need to be more explicit about this, and show this message to the OP of the question:     If those answers do not fully address your question, please edit your question and explain why it is not a duplicate.   The original message should still be visible to other users and visitors, as they can't fix that question, of course. using variable length argument in scala This is on Stack Overflow. On Meta I'm able to see what the tags are on the right side of the screen. In fact, I think yesterday or some point earlier today I saw tags on the right side of the screen (I can't screenshot or remember correctly).  It's right above the asked and active heading.  I know this is minor but what happened to it? It might be useful for browsing instead of having to look at the bottom of the question post.    Found an image on Google and it shows the tags on the right side of the screen: Sum two dates in Java Strange OutOfMemory issue while loading an image to a Bitmap object The  prohibited the development or use of cloaking technology by the Federation. This treaty was a peace treaty and use of cloaking technology in one's own space couldn't disturb peace. Plus, the Romulans already had cloaking technology, so banning it was unfair for the Federation. So, why was this ban introduced?  Another thing: There were many things to ban, but why cloaking technology? Access 2007 Work in a separate file using ACCDE Have been working in an Access 2007 application for over 3 weeks and it should be ready now. Anyway, I know (and tried) that "Make ACCDE" can actually split the raw data from the application itself so you can run it using the Access RunTime.  The question is... can I deploy my app for general use and modify a separate copy of the forms/views inside the application to deploy it when it´s ready without touching the data? I'll be at my uncle's house just in case you need to reach me.      I'll be at my uncle's house should you need to reach me.   Could you tell me what is the difference between those? Open subscheme of an irreducible component remains open? Change font size of labels in figures to any font size I want to change the font size of the label of a figure environment to any font size. It's possible to use the package caption with the argument font=Large for example. But I found no way to choose any font size, e.g. fontsize=28pt.  Here an example code:  \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{anyfontsize}  \usepackage[font=Large]{caption} %\usepackage[fontsize=28pt]{caption} % not implemented   \begin{document} \parbox[t]{20cm}{  \fontsize{28}{30} \selectfont  \begin{figure}     %\includegraphics{figure.eps}     \caption{\label{fig_req_osnr} \fontsize{28}{30} \selectfont My caption.} \end{figure}  }  \end{document}     Do you have any ideas? First off I did try the power options setting and it's on 'Never' but that did nothing. The drive still spins down after 15-20 seconds of not being used. I need it to spin all the time because it's more efficient with my way of using it. Also listening to music from that drive is absolutely destroying the drive making it spin up and down all the time causing immense wear and tear. Any ideas on how to stop it from spinning down? Please don't suggest bat files that keep creating editing a file.  &nbsp;  Oh and here is the model of the drive: wdc wd10jpvx-22jc3t0 and my OS is Windows 10 64 bit. How do I remove a configuration object from the active configuration? I'm writing a custom module for Drupal 8. It defines a field storage configuration object, in a file called modules/mymod/config/install/field.storage.bloom_stem.bs_twitter_ac.yml.  The problem is that this is not removed when I uninstall the module; it is apparently left behind because, when I re-install the module, I get a crash.   drush -y pm-uninstall mymod drush cr drush -y en mymod      exception 'Drupal\Core\Config\PreExistingConfigException' with message 'Configuration objects (field.storage.bloom_stem.bs_twitter_ac) provided by mymod already exist in active configuration'   So it seems I need to some how manually remove this configuration object. Do I need to provide some more code that deletes it when the module is uninstalled? Inequality Regarding e Using C++ library in C code Pugh, "Mathematical Analysis", exercise 2.17:     Assume $f : M \to N$ is a map from one metric space to another which satisfies the following condition: for every convergent sequence $(a_n) \subset M$, the sequence $(f(a_n)) \subset N$ converges. Prove that $f$ is continuous.   (I know that if $f$ commutes with limits then the answer is affirmative, but I can't prove it with that hypothesis). Identify a catastrophic sci fi story written before 1980: ruptured spleen, alien moon base, time and space travel, antimatter tool I read a sci fi short story sometime between 1974-1980 but it may have been written long before that.  I believe it was in a paper back anthology of sci fi stories, but I'm not certain.  I think the protagonist is facing the final climactic conflict when we meet him.  Most of the story is memories and flashbacks.  The first flashback is to his childhood.  He and his younger brother are sled riding.  His brother crashes, ruptures his spleen and dies.  He feels responsible and is wracked with guilt.  Much later, as an adult, he is exploring a long-deserted alien base on the moon.  There are unfamiliar artifacts on the base, including a time-travel device/vehicle, and a tool with an anti-matter tip.  It carves neat holes and eliminates matter simply by moving it through matter.  He accidentally drops the tool, which plummets unimpeded to the center of the moon.  He realizes that over time, it will consume and destroy the moon, which will be catastrophic for Earth.  He uses the time-travel device to travel to the moon at an earlier time so that he can prevent himself from dropping the tool.  He makes bigger problems for himself, forcing him to travel back further and further in time.  He travels so far back that he encounters the original alien inhabitants of the base.  Now we are at the present time in the story.  This is his final conflict, he has to escape, travel forward in time and resolve all of the problems he created.  Unfortunately, the alien inhabitants capture him, and the story ends.  Can anyone identify the story and author? Can you transfer a Windows 7 XP-mode VHD to a new PC without the need for reactivation?
