My Scizor is currently running Technician but I don't know how it works. I've read about it on Serebii and it says that any moves with a base power of 60 or lower are given a 50% boost. My Scizor has the moves Bullet Punch, Aerial Ace, Fury Cutter and U-Turn and is holding a Choice Band. Bullet Punch has 40 power and STAB makes it 60. Does Technician still boost it? And would the boost be an added 20 power or 30? And if the power is added by 20-30, making Bullet Punch's power 80-90, would the Choice Band raise it to 120-135? And U-Turn's base power is 70 and since it's higher than 60, Technician doesn't work on it, but would STAB make it 105? And would Choice Band raise it to 140-152.5?
A Pokemon which has the Technitian ability gets x1.5 boosted attack power for all moves used which have an attack power of 60 or less (so a move with 60 attack power will actually have 90 attack power). STAB (Same type attack bonus) gives a 50% boost to damage, assuming the attack has the same type as the Pokemon using it (so a Grass Pokemon using Razor Leaf will do 1.5 times the damage). However, I have seen contradicting information, so currently I do not know whether STAB boosts the actual damage or the move's attack power.  What I would like to know, first, is the precise manner in which a STAB is applied to an attack. Secondly, I would like to know what happens if an attack which would be affected by the Technician ability is also affected by STAB (though this answer might vary depending on the actual way that STABs work).  For example, my Scyther has the Technitian ability and attacks using the "Wing Attack" attack, which is a Flying-type attack with 60 attack power. Since Scyther is a Bug/Flying type pokemon he should also get a STAB for this attack, so just what is the eventual attack power/damage in this case?  (Please answer for 4th generation mechanics)
I can't seem to find a satisfactory answer to this anywhere on the web. While  poses a related question, I don't think it sufficiently answers mine...  During the opening chapters of Jedi Search, Luke addresses the new Senate on the need to find new Jedi talent, or Force sensitive individuals. During this proposal, he cites that the most fruitful leads of Jedi potential are in the descendants of Jedi Knights: as Force sensitivity is hereditary. The book even discusses the notion that Leia should be comparatively well attuned to the Force, due to her being the child of Anakin Skywalker.  I understand that the concept of the Jedi as a totally celibate and monastic order was something that was retconned into the lore after Episode II: Attack of the Clones, and that there are examples of entire nuclear Jedi families exist (such as Andur Sunrider and Plo Koon)...  But if Force-manipulative ability is passed down genetically (as a potentially mutative property of their genetic makeup), why would the Jedi order be so numerous if they practice Chastity?  Even if procreation is not expressly forbidden (as in the pre-retcon Expanded Universe): why would Jedi need special permission to produce more Jedi potential children?  How are more Jedi created, if not through procreation? Has their profusion been deliberately retarded, and if so why? is there another explanation for their (pre-empirical) plenitude? Cannot update grub with parameters on live USB I have booted from a live USB ("Try Ubuntu"), that also has a persistent option set (I used  to create one) to do some tests for .

LWJGL—How to Animate and Render Characters Using a Sprite Sheet I'm making an RPG similar to Super Nintendo RPGs in the early '90s. I'm handling movement much like Squaresoft's Final Fantasy IV.   Notice that the player never actually changes his x and y positions on screen. What I'm asking, to be precise, is how could I, in LWJGL through user input (say, the arrow keys), take the sprite sheet I have of my character's movement animations and render them in a [partially] fluid animation like above?  I've been perusing the internet for hours, and I've not found a surefire way to do this. I don't have any code as of yet; I'm more or less looking for a guideline or some pointers in the right direction concerning how I might tackle this.  And, to note, this'll be a rather large game, so I want to focus partially on speed and efficiency—that meaning that I don't want to dive into Slick2D and libGDX unless absolutely necessary. Integral of $\frac{1}{(1+x^2)^2}$ I am in the middle of a problem and having trouble integrating the following integral:  $$\int_{-1}^1\frac1{(1+x^2)^2}\mathrm dx$$  I tried doing partial fractions and got:  $$1=A(1+x^2)+B(1+x^2)$$  I have no clue how to solve this since it is obvious there is no way to cancel out either $A$ or $B$ to get the other variable. Please guide me.  Thank you. After I installed Ubuntu 13.04, I can't mount my NTFS partition.

Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation or fast restarting), or mount the volume read-only with the 'ro' mount option. I have a bunch of SD cards that do not have the little plastic switch for the read only setting. so Windows thinks it’s write protected or something. The card is not write protected by the software lock present on the SD card standard.  I’m using one with tape over the notch and it’s ugly. Also, the Thinkpad slot drags on the tape all the time so I’m afraid it will might loose in there eventually.  So, is there any way to tell Windows to ignore this lame write-protect feature?  I’m not interested on the SD card itself as it’s irrelevant for the issue at hand. Read this question as being about a 5.25” floppy disk drive instead of an SD card if you wish. I’m pretty sure the Windows settings are the same for both, really.  I’m  that there are 3 ways to secure an SD card. I’m talking about only the mechanical switch, which is the responsibility of the host to handle. Set default home page via  in JSF project Why are the longer edges being beveled more?

Expected area of the intersection of two circles If we pick randomly two points inside a circle centred at $O$ with radius $R$, and draw two circles centred at the two points with radius equal to the distance between them, what is the expected area of the intersection of the two cirlces that contain the origin $O$. Dominoes and induction, or how does induction work? I've never really understood why math induction is supposed to work.  You have these 3 steps:   Prove true for base case (n=0 or 1 or whatever) Assume true for n=k.  Call this the induction hypothesis. Prove true for n=k+1, somewhere using the induction hypothesis in your proof.   In my experience the proof is usually algebraic, and you just manipulate the problem until you get the induction hypothesis to appear.  If you can do that and it works out, then you say the proof holds.  Here's one I just worked out,  Show $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{(\ln x)^n}{x} = 0$  So you go:   Use L'Hospital's rule. $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{\ln x}{x} = 0$. Since that's $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{1}{x} = 0$. Assume true for $n=k$. $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{(\ln x)^k}{x} = 0$. Prove true for $n=k+1$.  You get $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{(\ln x)^{k+1}}{x} = 0.$   Use L'Hospital again: $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty} \frac{(k+1)(\ln x)^{k}}{x} = 0$.  Then you see the induction hypothesis appear, and you can say this is equal to $0$.  What I'm not comfortable with is this idea that you can just assume something to be true ($n=k$), then based on that assumption, form a proof for $n=k+1$ case.  I don't see how you can use something you've assumed to be true to prove something else to be true. How to install XAMPP?
