How do I Sort a Multidimensional Array in PHP Why is unity feedback used? How does a cell phone charger work? I recently bought one of these ESR meters, a 'MESR-100':       It claims to be able to test capacitor ESR with the caps left in-circuit.  It appears to work well from my tests so far.  However, how much can I trust the in-circuit readings?  Are they going to be less accurate?  Are there certain circuit configurations where it wouldn't be possible to measure ESR in-circuit accurately?  [EDIT: Added the model as requested] : Why are NginX and Lighttpd not affected by Slowloris? I am investigating the vulnerability to  and I think I understand how and why this sort of attack works.  What I don't understand is why Lighttpd and NginX are not affected (according to the same article as linked above). What do they make so different? How do I delete multiple rows in Entity Framework (without foreach) I remember reading it while in middle school in English in the United States, so the latest it would have come out was 1998. I don't remember if it was all one author, or even the same universe. These are the stories I remember:   A man finds a way to create a medicine that prevents radiation poisoning (or possibly makes someone fireproof... it's a little confused in my head) and learns that part of the problem is finding a market for it. I vividly remember the inventor telling someone to not "let the doorknob ream you" as it slams shut. A bout of graffiti artists leads to the city buying anti-graffiti paint that dissolves any other paint put on top of it. After learning the futility of trying to paint over it, the protagonist consults with a friend and learns that the anti-graffiti paint will eat away at the paint above it at a steady rate, and will even eat successive layers of the anti-graffiti paint. he uses this property to engineer an animation involving a harlequin thumbing this nose at the officials even as they try to wash it away. Some guys (I want to say a gang) go to a clinic for an illegal nanotech transformation. The viewpoint character gets turned into a woman while a friend gets turned into a dog. After roaming about in their new forms, they return to find the clinic being raided, meaning there's no one to turn them back. I think I remember something bad happening to the one transformed into a dog where the transformation continued, erasing his human thought patterns. There was also a scene where the viewpoint character submitted to being sexually assaulted by his former friends as if it was simply to be expected given his form.   I don't remember if the first or the second story was the actual first story of the collection... I want to say that those are the order that they showed up as in the book. How to watch videos in Amazon Prime Instant Video? If development on the Stack Exchange iOS/Android apps has ceased indefinitely, what should we do to their bug reports and feature requests? It's been a while since the Stack&nbsp;Exchange team last had an iOS or Android developer, and the development job on the apps have not had any insights for years.  That, however, doesn't deny the fact that there are still many users to them. As a consequence, people are continuing to submit bug reports and sometimes feature requests about them.  If development on iOS/Android apps has ceased indefinitely, what should we do to their bug reports and feature requests?  Are we going to keep them with the hope that development on apps will resurrect one day, or just ignore them and telling users that development has frozen?

How do I install Geforce GTX 660 in 13.10 Just bought a Geforce GTX 660 and replaced my Radeon HD 5870 (it finally died after 3 years). I'm having terrible problems getting the video card to work. As I only had command line options so far I've ran:  (purged fglrx*)  then  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install nvidia-331  and then I started getting low graphics mode errors. did some searching on my tablet, and I tried several things but what finally worked better was:   sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia  However now that I'm logged into my computer finally, I have no access to terminal, no access to the top bar, and hitting Super Key does nothing, alt-f2 does nothing, and I only can post because I tried running WoW and it had an error and the error report opened a link.   All I can see on my desktop is my wallpaper and desktop icons. I can CTRL+ALT+F1, and navigate to the downloaded official nvidia driver, however that won't run because of x-server, and I can't run it from my desktop.   Can anyone help me? Make window always on top? only display df lines that have more fs usage than 80% I wrote this sentence     However, if the user defines each rule (regarding/according to/in) a specific context, the algorithm will take the context into account before deciding to remove such elements.   Which are applicable and what would be the implication of each?  I myself think "regarding" means "about" and is not proper here, but I doubt between "according to" and "in", because "in" is a collocation for "context". "Try and" versus "Try to"?

To my amazement I noticed numerous https:// results relating to various pages. My site doesn't have a SSL certificate, doesn't serve such pages, doesn't internally link to https:// pages, doesn't include any such files in its sitemap.xml and, for all of these, never has.  I decided to do a Google search for https://&lt;my site&gt; and found one site that incorrectly refers to the root of my site with a https:// prefix - I will try to contact them to get them to correct this.  I'm not sure however how Googlebot managed to index the non-root files as https://. I can't find any external links to them and surely, without certification, Googlebot should have stalled at the first request?  I've just added the following lines to the site's .htaccess (although the surfer still has to navigate through the browser's "This site is a security risk. Abandon hope all ye who enter here!" message(s) first to get there):  RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.&lt;my site&gt;.org/$1 [R=301,L]    replacing &lt;my site&gt; with my domain name.   My big question is this though - I would like to use the Google Webmaster Tools Remove URLs feature to remove the https:// pages from the index. Can I be guaranteed that this will only remove the https:// versions of each relevant page and not the valid http:// versions?  My thanks to anyone who can help me out with this particular question and the issue in general. How to recover a deleted file from /data partition? I factory reset my rooted Android M phone but now I realize that there was a file in the /data directory which I need.

Book recommendations Every once in a while, we get a question asking for a book or other educational reference on a particular topic at a particular level. This is a meta-question that collects all those links together. If you're looking for book recommendations, this is probably the place to start.  All the questions linked below, as well as others which deal with more specialized books, can be found under the tag  (formerly ).  If you have a question to add, please edit it in.

I've never got MTP to work, I've only ever got it to connect by USB mass storage, which was how it was working most recently. But now, since 13.04, it seems that option has been taken away entirely.
