I give an example below.   "They've got the kind of weapons that can zap the enemy from thousands of miles away."  How to determine here that "away" is adjective or adverb?
The shop is five minutes away.     According to the dictionary, away is an adverb. An adverb modifies a verb. In the above example, what word does away modify? Why is away not an adjective?       The shop is five meters tall.     tall is an adjective in the second example. It modifies five meters (does it?). So why is away an adverb?
Fluent and Query Expression — Is there any benefit(s) of one over other? LINQ is one of the greatest improvements to .NET since generics and it saves me tons of time, and lines of code.  However, the fluent syntax seems to come much more natural to me than the query expression syntax.  var title = entries.Where(e =&gt; e.Approved)     .OrderBy(e =&gt; e.Rating).Select(e =&gt; e.Title)     .FirstOrDefault();  var query = (from e in entries              where e.Approved              orderby e.Rating              select e.Title).FirstOrDefault();   Is there any difference between the two or is there any particular benefit of one over other? Why can two (or more) electric field lines never cross? The the title is self explanatory, I guess.  Why can two (or more) electric  never cross? How to enable crash reports/core dumps/stack trace logging globally? Crashing bugs can be the most annoying ones, leading to data loss, downtime and frustrated users. It would be good if applications crashed less.  Because of the complexity of the machine context, crashes often can't be reproduced in reasonable time for an ordinary user. That doesn't mean that the bug is rare - It could simply mean that the thing that triggers it occurs rarely for each user (for example DST changes). Such bugs are unlikely to be fixed unless a lot of users report them. It would be good if more crashes were reported.  To debug crashes, the developers need as much unambiguous context as possible. Generated crash reports are good, because they're usually detailed and accurate. Users can't be expected to zealously observe and report all the context manually, so they often submit sparse and wrong information.  The target audience for a lot of applications is not developers or sysadmins, but rather the general public, at home or at work. Such users can't be expected to know how to collect crash information manually, or to install -dbg packages, but generated reports from such users can still be usable. Some applications have their own crash reporting tools, but in my experience these rarely work, and when they report that they failed to report the error there doesn't seem to be any information on how to do it manually (I've observed this for recent versions of both Firefox and Flash). System-wide generation of crash reports would be good.  Is there any sort of crash report generation* which can be enabled globally** without installing a ton of -dbg packages, reading the documentation of each and every application, or slowing a normal machine down to a crawl?  * Logs, core dumps, stack traces, whatever  ** Not necessarily for init, but at least for a significant subset of the applications running on a typical desktop Linux installation. In my experience GUI applications crash 100+ times more frequently than shell applications, so GUI applications would naturally be the focus. Windows 8.1 missing font files after restart Some days ago I rebooted my windows 8.1 system. After the reboot all my system texts were very cryptic - showing only some strange symbols. After some investigation I discovered that my c:\windows\fonts folder was nearly empty. So I copied the font files from another windows 8.1 installation to the nearly empty folder. As soon as I had copied the files the system texts were readable again.  But after another reboot the problem occured again - the systems font folder was empty again. Does anyone know why windows deletes my font files during a restart? Elliptical orbits of planets As we know, the velocity of the planet changes as it orbits around the sun, both in its magnitude and direction. The centripetal acceleration causes the change in the direction of velocity but I want to know what is the tangential force that acts on the planet to change the velocity by its $magnitude$. The answer normally as to why the speed changes is: If  the  force  that  the  Sun  exerts  on  the  planet increases  (as  the  planet moves closer),  then  the acceleration   of  the  planet must  increase,  resulting  in a  higher  orbital  speed,  and vice  versa. But this force is not along the body but towards the sun. So such a force should only change its direction. How do I determine the size of an object in Python? Can someone explain this trigonometric limit? I have $$\lim \limits_{x\to 0}  \frac {\tan(2x)}{\sin(x)}$$ and in my case the result is $\frac{2}{1}$ =2 not whether it is right.  This is my procedure.  $$\lim \limits_{x\to 0}  \frac{\frac {\sin(2x)}{\cos(2x)}}{\frac{\sin(x)}{1}}= \lim \limits_{x\to 0}  {\dfrac {\sin(2x)}{(\cos(2x))(\sin(x))}}=\dfrac{2x\frac {\sin(2x)}{2x}}{\cos(2x)\frac{x\sin(x)}{x}}$$  I separate the limit.  $$\frac{\left(\lim \limits_{x\to 0}2x\right) \cdot \left(\lim \limits_{x\to 0}\frac {\sin(2x)}{2x}\right)}{\lim \limits_{x\to 0}\left(\cos(2x)\right)\cdot\left(\lim \limits_{x\to 0}\frac{x\sin(x)}{x}\right)} = \lim \limits_{x\to 0} \dfrac{2x}{x}=\frac{2}{1} =2$$ This is the command I entered in the command block: testfor @p {Inventory:[{id:minecraft:diamond,Count:10}]}  But it doesn't seem to work.

Is there an equivalent command to \nonumber when one doesn't want to include certain slides in the numbering? I would like to leave outline and title slides out of my numbering, and instead just number slides with actual content. Other workarounds would be nice to know about as well.  Edit: Since a MWE example was requested, here is one. Suppose I have a title page and two other slides. The code below gives a slide counter that goes up to 3, and the title slide is slide 1. I would prefer to have the title slide not be numbered, the counter go up to 2, and the the numbering start at the slide after the title. Here is some code.  \documentclass{beamer}  \mode&lt;presentation&gt;  {    \usetheme{Dresden}  }   \setbeamertemplate  {footline}{\quad\hfill\insertframenumber/\inserttotalframenumber\strut\quad}    \begin{document}  \begin{frame}  \titlepage \end{frame}  \begin{frame} Some actual content here \end{frame}  \begin{frame} Some more actual content here \end{frame}  \end{document} PuTTY inserts random characters during a session I recently started renting space on a remote server so that I could work on a project. I found that a relatively painless way to access it on a windows machine is through PuTTY. However, there is one thing that has always irked me when using it: for seemingly no reason random characters are sometimes inserted at the cursor.  Most of the time it is just a single tilde, but rarely it spits out what looks like some escape sequence ([[^8 or the like). It will only occur when I am focused on the window, whether I am typing or 20 feet away from the keyboard. If left for long enough, it will spit tildes at random intervals (average is about 1 minute).  Finally, this behavior seems to be inconsistant when running programs such as nano or the mysql interface: in nano, instead of inserting tildes, it will set marks (ctrl-^); in mysql, lines will become un-editable.  My question is this: Has anyone else experienced this sort of behavior in PuTTY? And if so, what can be done to prevent/correct this behavior?
