I would like to pass multiple arguments to the Tor browser (firefox) programatically through a function arbitrarily entitled tor. This is so as to command tor search terms and voila! My search terms. When using these three variations,  ~/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/start-tor-browser -search "$(echo $@)"  eval "~/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/start-tor-browser -search \"$@\""  ~/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/start-tor-browser -search "$@"   only the first two lines seem to perform identically. They result in a single Tor browser window searching for terms of arbitrary textual content. However, the third line results in one new search window per word.  Why this behavior?  Let me clarify. I am not searching for workarounds but rather am just interested in an explanation regarding the bahviour.
Consider the following code:  foo () {     echo $* }  bar () {     echo $@ }  foo 1 2 3 4 bar 1 2 3 4   It outputs:     1 2 3 4       1 2 3 4   I am using Ksh88, but I am interested in other common shells as well. If you happen to know any particularity for specific shells, please do mention them.  I found the follwing in the Ksh man page on Solaris:     The meaning of $* and  $@  is   identical  when  not  quoted  or  when  used  as a parameter   assignment value or as a file name. However, when used as  a   command argument, $* is equivalent to ``$1d$2d...'', where d   is the first character of the IFS variable,  whereas  $@  is   equivalent  to  $1 $2 ....   I tried modifying the IFS variable, but it doesn't modify the output. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Entire function bounded by a polynomial is a polynomial Suppose that an entire function $f(z)$ satisfies $\left|f(z)\right|\leq k\left|z\right|^n$ for sufficiently large $\left|z\right|$, where $n\in\mathbb{Z^+}$ and $k&gt;0$ is constant. Show that $f$ is a polynomial of degree at most $n$. How do I get label of the selected item from a lightning:select drop down list? I would like to get the value of the label of the selected drop down item.  In this case, the label is the Name of the Contact.  &lt;aura:component&gt;  &lt;aura:attribute name="contacts" type="Contact[]"/&gt;  &lt;lightning:select label="Contact" aura:id="contactList" name="contactList"&gt;     &lt;aura:iteration items="{!v.contacts}" var="c" indexVar="index"&gt;        &lt;option value="{!c.Id}"&gt;{!c.Name}&lt;/option&gt;    &lt;/aura:iteration&gt;  &lt;/lightning:select&gt;  &lt;/aura:component&gt;   I know how to get the value:  component.find("contactList").get("v.value");   But how do I get the label? I'm confused. Running Fedora Linux, lscpu yields:  Architecture:            i686 CPU op-mode(s):          32-bit, 64-bit ...   But when I try to install a 64-bit program (Chrome) I get error like:     Package /....x86_64.rpm has incompatible architecture x86_64. Valid architectures are ['i686', 'i586', 'i486', i386']   I'm less interested in being able to install Chrome and more interested in why lscpu says that my CPU can run in 64-bit mode; clearly this can't mean I can run 64-bit programs. Can anyone clarify? Adjusting space between array rows and columns Command to run an application with Administrator privileges, but NOT AS administrator (prompt with UAC) Divergent infinite series $n!e^n/n^n$ - simpler proof of divergence? $$ \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{n!e^n}{n^n} $$ Where $e$ is Euler's number.  Recently on calculus class we were covering convergence tests and my group got stuck with this infinite series. Our calculus teacher told us that it diverges but he doesn't see any elementary way or simple test to prove it. He told us something about Euler's Gamma function and said that he knows it diverges because of Stirling's formula but this is not quite our level yet.  I tried to think about it myself but I established only that this  is some kind of an edge case. We could generalize the problem to series of $\frac{n!a^n}{n^n}$. Then, from the ratio test we know that it converges for $a &lt;e$ and diverges for $a&gt;e$. For $a=e$ the test is inconclusive. I've also tried to compare it with various divergent series, but nothing worked...  Does anybody have any idea for a simple solution? What lifetime can be expected of the typical hard disk? Or are there big differences between different types? And does it make a difference if it is used heavily instead of never being connected to system (for example serving as a backup medium)?

For editing screengrabs, I prefer to use , since  was no longer installable without hassles on Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 However ksnip is available as a Snap App on my 20.04 ○ → snap list | grep ksnip ksnip                    1.8.0                       265    latest/stable    dporobic                 Unfortunately I have to start ksnip from the command line, then use the File-Open Dialog to pick a screengrab/PNG, then edit it in ksnip. This is should be easier. What I want is to use Nautilus File manager, then select the &quot;Open with other Application&quot; context menu item to select ksnip, and the have ksnip open the file I picked with nautilus. Nautilus Context Menu, selecting a PNG:  &quot;Select Application&quot; Dialog:  How can I achieve this? There is a &quot;View all Applications&quot; Button, but after clicking, ksnip does NOT appear in this list of apps. &quot;Find new applications&quot; does not work either. Maybe this is a duplicate, but I think we did not have the combination yet (Hack the dialog and Snap App)  (Note to self: maybe Shutter is usable again. Development had stalled for a while, or it needed a lot of deprecated versions of gnome libs as dependencies) . How to convert java.util.Date to java.sql.Date? I am trying to use a  as input and then creating a query with it - so I need a .    I was surprised to find that it couldn't do the conversion implicitly or explicitly - but I don't even know how I would do this, as the Java API is still fairly new to me. Why is surface tension parallel to the interface? A text says:     The surface tension of a liquid results from an imbalance of intermolecular attractive forces, the cohesive forces between molecules:   A molecule in the bulk liquid experiences cohesive forces with other molecules in all directions.   A molecule at the surface of a liquid experiences only net inward cohesive forces   If this is the case: Why is surface tension considered or experienced as a force parallel to the interface while it is so obvious that it must be perpendicular to it? 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.
