What is the name of the marked letter, which in my opinion relates to the two modern English letters "gh"?
I found it in an old dictionary and I'm not sure what it means. It looks like the number &quot;3&quot;, but the top of the three has been flattened(and slightly curved). I've only seen this in three or four words. []
I had this "almost bonus" question on the final in Group Theory recently: prove that there is no such group $G$ which would satisfy Aut$(G)\cong \mathbb{Z}_n$, where $n$ is an odd integer. I don't have much certainty if this proof is OK, and one's opinion would be appreciated.  Here's my attempt:     Suppose that there exists such a group $G$ that satisfies the above condition. Since $\mathbb{Z}_n$ is cyclic, Aut$(G)$ is also cyclic and $G$ is abelian, which implies that Inn$(G)\cong \{e\}$. Thus Aut$(G)=$Out$(G)$. (I don't think this fact is important here though). Now, since an automorphism sends a generator to a generator, and since each automorphism is completely determined by such mapping, |Aut($G$)| must be of factorial order. But an integer factorial is always even. However, $|\mathbb{Z}_n|$ is odd, which is a contradiction. Therefore, no such $G$ exists.   I'm afraid that my proof is not very nice, but at least a genuine attempt was made. I am not talking about mirrors, just a plain window made of glass like material. Would it be possible to allow light pass only in one direction but not the other? Why we don't use gamma rays, x-rays or ultraviolet to transmit data? The greater the frequency range of a transmission medium, the greater the number of bits per second it can transmit. In other words, the bigger the bandwidth in hertz available, the bigger the bandwidth in bits per second that can be transmitted.  Given that, why we don't use gamma rays, x-rays or ultraviolet to transmit data instead of e.g. visible(light) in optical fiber or microwaves(cell phones)? Should Luke's lightsaber have given away his plan? During Luke's confrontation of Kylo Ren toward the end of The Last Jedi we see that       the lightsaber Luke uses a blue lightsaber (which I thought was his original one but that really doesn't matter), not the green one of his own construction.   Given that Kylo Ren  and Rey has just     fought over and broken the blue lightsaber   Why did Kylo Ren not notice this "inconsistency" and realize that      Luke's physical body was not there? "Never say die?" What's the deal with this idiom? I know what it means, but cannot wrap my head around its grammar structure. The sentence structure of     "Never say die"   looks like that of     "Never admit defeat"   but it does not make the same grammatical+semantical sense.  Is it an archaic use? Is it a contraction of a longer phrase? Was it originally misspoken by someone of note and survived memetically? What are its roots?  Edit: Well, the comments made me realize that I worded my question poorly. I'm not saying I think this phrase is ungrammatical. I'm asking how the heck "saying 'die'" came to mean what it means. How is this command legal? "> file1 < file2 cat" Assuming file2 already exists, the command   &gt; file1 &lt; file2 cat   appears to be copying the content of file2 to file1.  But I cannot understand this structure.  I understand that "Nothing" is being directed to file1 (creating or erasing its content). Then the content of file2 is being directed to file1.  Why is cat after file2? How does it know to cat file2 if the operands are not in the correct order? How do I set the grub timeout and the grub default boot entry? In Ubuntu 12.04 (or above), how do I set the GRUB time and the default OS (that I see at boot time) as I'm dual-booting Windows (7/8) and Ubuntu (12.04 or above)? How do I prove that a graph is a topological manifold Prove that a set of connectives is inadequate It is relatively easy to prove that a given set of connectives is adequate. It suffices to show that the standard connectives can be built from the given set. It is proven that the set $\{\lor, \land, \neg\}$ is adequate, and from that set it can be inferred (applying De Morgan laws and such) that $\{\lor, \neg\}$, $\{\land, \neg\}$ and $\{\to, \neg\}$ are also adequate.  Nevertheless, I'm stuck trying to understand how to prove that a given set of connectives is inadequate. I know I have to prove that a standard connective can't be build using only the connectives of the given set, but I can't figure out how to do it.  FYI, I'm trying to prove that $\{\lor, \land\}$ and $\{\leftrightarrow, \neg\}$ are inadequate sets of connectives.  Thanks in advance. Which version of NFS is my NFS server using? I'm mounting a NFS filesystem on my machine.  How do I figure out what version of the NFS protocol the server uses?  I don't have access to the NFS server machine, but I do have root on my client machine.  Is there anything I can run on my client machine to identify what version of the NFS protocol is being used by the server, or what versions it supports?  I wasn't able to find any useful information in /var/log/messages or kernel debugging output (dmesg).  I have tried running nfsstat, but I'm not sure if it is giving me any useful information.  However, when I run nfsstat -s to request information about the server, I don't see anything useful:  # nfsstat -s Server rpc stats: calls      badcalls   badfmt     badauth    badclnt 0          0          0          0          0          When I run nfsstat -c to request information about the client, I do see some information about Client nfs v3, but I'm not sure how to interpret this.  Does this tell me anything about the protocol being used between my client machine and the NFS server?  Does it mean I am currently using v3 of the NFS protocol?  Does it tell me anything about what versions of the NFS protocol the server supports, e.g., NFS v4? Shouldn't the association bonus acquired via serial upvoting be reversed? When a user's rep gets bloated because of serial upvoting, and as result the user is given the association bonus, shouldn't that association bonus also be reversed in case of serial upvoting reversal? Is there a way to set the gnome-terminal title from within the terminal itself without having to right click on the tab. Something like:  active-terminal --title "Foo"   There was a related question previously with an answer that almost lets you do this:  but that doesn't set the gnome-terminal tab title only the window title. How do you square an ideal? For some of you, this question is going to seem extremely basic.  I think I understand what an ideal is. Such as $\langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle$, it consists of all numbers in this ring of the form $2a + (1 + \sqrt{-5})b$.  But then what is $\langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle^2$? My first thought was $\langle 4, -4 + 2 \sqrt{-5} \rangle$, but that seems wrong somehow. I also had something in the back of my mind saying $\langle 2 \rangle$, but I'm not sure about that one either.  Then I thought about trying to figure out $\langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle \langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle$ when I realized I don't actually understand how to multiply ideals to begin with.  I'm only using $\langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle$ as an example (though that does draw in one question identified as similar that looks much more relevant than all the questions identified as "Questions that may already have your answer"). In a principal ideal domain, would it be correct to think that $\langle a \rangle \langle b \rangle = \langle ab \rangle$?  Any help would be much appreciated. How does Ubuntu partition the disk when we choose "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" during installation? How will Ubuntu automatically allocate the disk partition sizes when we select Erase disk and install Ubuntu during installation?    Can the settings for automatic space allocation be changed? Inequality : $\sum_{k=1}^n x_k\cdot \sum_{k=1}^n \frac{1}{x_k} \geq n^2$ I have to show the inequality of $$\left(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i\right)*\left(\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{1}{x_i}\right) \geq n^2.$$For $x_1, ... x_n \in \mathbb{R_{&gt;0}}$ and $ n \geq 1$. I wanted to show this inequality by induction. The basis is clear, but I am not sure how to do the inductive step. Can someone help me with that? If I seem tired, can I say: "I haven't slept last night"? If not, why have I been told that we use present perfect for actions that have present effects? Universal Chord Theorem Let $f \in C[0,1]$ and $f(0)=f(1)$.   How do we prove $\exists a \in [0,1/2]$ such that $f(a)=f(a+1/2)$?  In fact, for every positive integer $n$, there is some $a$, such that $f(a) = f(a+\frac{1}{n})$.  For any other non-zero real $r$ (i.e not of the form $\frac{1}{n}$), there is a continuous function $f \in C[0,1]$, such that $f(0) = f(1)$ and $f(a) \neq f(a+r)$ for any $a$.  This is called the Universal Chord Theorem and is due to Paul Levy.
