These days there are a host of words constructed with -phobia that express dislike towards a class of people or things. As far as I understand, in common parlance, -phobia technically encompasses any dislike, whether fearful or not. However, in spite of this it has acquired certain connotations:   Clinical phobias have captured the lay peoples' imagination, and armchair psychiatrists have grown fond of over-diagnosing "phobias" on trivial grounds (eg. one who prefers taking the bus becomes "car-phobic", someone who orders a veggie burger is "meat-phobic", someone who finds cell phones impractical is "technophobic" and so on), whether such phobias are even recognized by the mental health community or not. Not all dislike is grounded in fear. For instance, one may dislike wearing cumbersome clothes not because he is terrified of becoming enveloped in them, but simply because they are not very comfortable. An occasional rhetorical tactic is to attack an opponent's dislike of a thing by suggesting this dislike is grounded in irrational fear instead of arising from logical conclusion. A person on the receiving end of this, by the mere act of using the word, is implicitly submitting to this attack, making even sound arguments for the alleged "phobia" sound self-defeating.   Because of this, I feel like there is a gap in vocabulary in certain cases when one wishes to describe "mere dislike" of a thing without necessarily fear of that thing.  Is there a suffix that can, in analogy to -phobia, be used to express such "mere dislike", but unlike -phobia, not carrying any connotation of fear?
The suffix -phobia means fear of, often irrational fear of.  For example, according to Wikipedia:       or ophiophobia is a particular type of specific phobia,   the abnormal fear of snakes.   Is there a suffix attachable to ophidio- which would describe a person who is not afraid of snakes, except for, say, a coiled rattler encountered on a trail, but who dislikes them and would not willingly share space with one?  Similarly, an  (don't click here if you are at all arachnophobic) is someone who loves spiders.  Is there a suffix for someone who likes spiders but does not love them?  These are Greek suffixes, and the Greeks, theoretically, were in favor of moderation.  So, are there suffixes in use in English, derivable from Greek or not, for moderate like and moderate dislike?    Edit to explain why the question:  "Is there a suffix for loathing" does not answer my question.  My question is NOT about fear and/or loathing.  My question is about moderate dislike (and moderate like).  I can watch a snake cross my driveway with interest, but would not want it in the house or lounging on my patio.   A person who loathed snakes would not be able to admire the smooth motion of the snake as it glided over the rough gravel and disappeared into the woods.  Loathe is very different from moderate dislike; Phobia is very different from caution.
How to show the solution of $\dot{x} = Ax $ is an invariant subspace? Consider the linear dynamical system $\dot{x} = Ax $ in $V$ a finite dimensional vector space.  The definition of an invariant subspace $U$ is as follows:  For all $x_0 \in U$, (initial condition), the solution $x(t)$ with initial condition $x(0)=x_0$ lies in $U$, i.e. $x(t) \in U$ for all $t \in \mathbb{R}$. Intuitively, it means if we start in a subspace we never leave that subspace.  Prove that a subspace $U \subset V$ is an invariant subspace if and only if $AU \subset U$. Is there a way to do an "upside down" \widehat? I've come across this in a book I'm looking through, but I can't find the code for it. I want it to look exactly like the \widehat and go above text like \widehat does...I just want it to be (vertically) flipped! Will installing Ubuntu using the "erase entire disk" option remove and erase all currently existing partitions? I'm considering ditching Windows 8 and doing a fully clean install of Ubuntu. However, I'm concerned because my computer came with a built-in 16 GB recovery partition that would need to be erased as well.   If I pick the "erase entire disk" option during installation, will it wipe out this recovery partition too? Are C++ Templates just Macros in disguise? AttributeError: MapDocObject: Unable to save on mxd.save/saveACopy? I'm trying to use arcpy to save an .mxd and am having an issue.

Read-only box is unchecked and I've "allowed" all permissions for all groups:    Does anyone have any idea how if this is a bug or how I can fix this?  I'm using ArcInfo 10.0 SP4. Cleaning polygon after using dissolve to repair geometry in QGIS? I'm trying to obtain the boundaries of shapefile, thus to clean the inside as a matter of speaking. While I had expected that dissolve while get me a proper polygon, unfortunately it still has some remainders. How could I get rid of them?  Does QGIS have a tool similar to Repair Geometry?  Here's the source    Result below: How does the EMH hold onto a phaser while having bullets go through him? In the Voyager episode: "Future's End, Part II" the doctor rescues B'elanna and Chakotay.     PORTER: They've got lasers! A black man and some bald guy.  (The EMH   enters. Porter and Butch's bullets go straight through him.)       PORTER: God in heaven help us.       EMH: Divine intervention is unlikely.  (The EMH phaser stuns them,   then unties Torres and Chakotay.)   In an earlier episode of Voyager, "Phage":     PARIS: But a hologram is just a projection of light held in a magnetic   containment field. There's no real matter involved. (The EMH slaps   Paris.)       EMH: Now, you hit me.  (Paris's hand passes through the EMH's head.)       EMH: The magnetic containment field that creates the illusion of my   body can be modulated to allow matter to pass through it or be   stopped. I might be able to modulate the holographic lungs in the same   way, allowing oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass from the lungs to the   blood stream.   In order to make the above adjustments the doctor had to touch several buttons on a control panel. I realize the time I refer to above he was using the holo-emitter instead.    How does it work exactly that the doctor can have bullets pass straight through him but he's able to hold on to a phaser without it falling out of his hand? Can he simultaneously have part of his body be transparent and the rest be more like matter at the same time? What if the bullets hit the hand holding the phaser? I think one had a shotgun as I recall so there probably would have been pellets going all over the place. I wanted to take a sneak peek at Windows 7 so I thought of installing it. I have Windows Vista on my laptop which came pre-installed with it. I didn't want to mess with it.  So I created a partition (20 GB) in my USB external hard disk and tried to install Windows 7 on that partition. But when I booted from a Windows 7 DVD and selected the target partition on USB hard disk, it said it cannot be installed.  Is there any way to install Windows on an external USB hard disk? Regular Expression to split on spaces unless in quotes I would like to use the .Net Regex.Split method to split this input string into an array. It must split on whitespace unless it is enclosed in a quote.  Input:  Here is "my string"&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;it has "six&nbsp;&nbsp;matches"  Expected output:   Here is my string it has six&nbsp;&nbsp;matches   What pattern do I need? Also do I need to specify any RegexOptions? Short version: In what circumstances is dd safe to use for copying data, safe meaning that there is no risk of corruption due to a partial read or write?  Long version — preamble: dd is often used to copy data, especially from or to a device (). It's sometimes attributed mystical properties of being able to access devices at a lower level than other tools (when in fact it's the device file that's doing the magic) — yet dd if=/dev/sda is the same thing as cat /dev/sda. dd is sometimes thought to be faster, but . Nonetheless, .  Problem: dd if=foo of=bar is not, in fact, the same as cat &lt;foo &gt;bar. On most unices¹, dd makes a single call to . (I find  fuzzy on what constitutes “reading an input block” in dd.) If read() returns a partial result (which, according to POSIX and other reference documents, it's allowed to unless the implementation documentation says otherwise), a partial block is copied. Exactly the same issue exists for write().  Observations: In practice, I've found that dd can cope with block devices and regular files, but that may just be that I haven't exercised it much. When it comes to pipes, it's not difficult to put dd at fault; for example try :  yes | dd of=out bs=1024k count=10   and check the size of the out file (it's likely to be well under 10MB).  Question: In what circumstances is dd safe to use for copying data? In other words, what conditions on the block sizes, on the implementation, on the file types, etc, can ensure that dd will copy all the data?  ( has a fullblock flag to tell it to call read() or write() in a loop so as to transfer a full block. So dd iflag=fullblock is always safe. My question is about the case when these flags (which don't exist on other implementations) are not used.)  ¹  I've checked on OpenBSD, GNU coreutils and BusyBox. If Voldemort's body dies, what process would he use to restore himself from a horcrux? His plans seem sloppy for the pains he had taken. For example, why create horcruxes from pieces of jewellery when they dont have the agency to seek out a new body by themselves?  He needed Quirrel, a person with unlikely ambitions to seek him out to gain an useful body. When that body was gone, he needed Barty Crouch, someone with questionable agency (he could be imprisoned) to transport Harry and draw his blood.  Nagini and the diary seems the only horcruxes with agency, the others are mostly inert.  What plans were ever taken to restore Voldemort from his horcruxes? I have an inkling that the following word usage is grammatically-correct; however, it is immensely difficult to search for confirmation, as all I receive for queries like &quot;Proper as an adjective&quot; are reams of results on &quot;Proper adjectives&quot;. The word itself I am using as a postpositive adjective, similar in form to the phrase &quot;time immemorial&quot;.  The shelter remains in name only; the shelter proper is in another town. Work in theory remained, although operations proper had mostly been outsourced.  Can anyone advise? Why is the copy-constructor argument const? In Einstein's General Relativity, do the space-time dimensions curve according to the positions of stars, planets, and masses? Inequality ${n \choose k} \leq \left(\frac{en}{ k}\right)^k$ This is from page 3 of  ().  Copying the relevant segment:     Stirling’s approximation tells us $\sqrt{2\pi n} (n/e)^n \leq n! \leq e^{1/12n} \sqrt{2\pi n} (n/e)^n$. In particular we can use this to say that   $$ {n \choose k} \leq \left(\frac{en}{ k}\right)^k$$   I tried the tactic of combining bounds from $n!$, $k!$ and $(n-k)!$ and it didn't work. How does this bound follow from stirling's approximation? How to reinstall Cortana? With reference to:    I removed the Cortana packages from my running Windows 10 using the method posted by magicandre1981 and using  win6x_registry_tweak.   My question is how can I re-install Cortana (or for that matter any other package removed similarly)?  I have opened up the install.wim image (converted from a Win 10 install.esd file) and found Cortana in the system apps folder, but don't know how / what to use to re-install it.  Any help please? How can I effectively use the Coppersmith? Viewshed Analysis With GDAL I am looking to perform a simple (one observer location) viewshed analysis on a standard DEM using GDAL (either python or .NET bindings).  I have searched, but haven't found any readily available implementation.  Can anyone point me in the right direction? pgfplots: percentages and endvalues in stacked ybar I have two questions regarding the pgfplots package. I have attached the source code I worked on. There are two features I am not able to realize:   I would like to put the total value (sum of the whole stacked bar) on top of the bar, rotated by 90°. For me, it was only possible yet to get the value of each part of the stacked bar by using the nodes near coords command. Additionally, the percentage of each part of the stacked bar as relative to the whole stacked bar should be displayed in the bar, also rotated by 90° (addition equals 100%)   If it is somehow possible, percentages should have only one significant digit, and those below 5% should not be displayed in the bar. I know this is a pretty complex example, but maybe there is one who can solve it.  \documentclass{article}  \usepackage{pgfplots,pgfplotstable}   \usetikzlibrary{pgfplots.groupplots}    \pgfplotsset{compat=1.8}   \pgfplotstableread{  Criterion  ddd     ccc     vvv   (0)    700         750         750   (a)    700         750         750   (b)        1200        750         750       (c)    33      345     345  (d)    34      333     345  (e)    234     344     344   }\Rob   \pgfplotstableread{  Criterion  ddd     ccc     vvv   0      70          75          75    a      70          75          75    b          120         75      75        c      3       34      34  d      3       33      34  e      23      34      34  }\Gab   \begin{document}  \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{groupplot}[group style= {     columns=2,xlabels at=edge bottom,     ylabels at=edge left,     horizontal sep=1cm,group name=plots, }, ymin=0, enlarge x limits={abs=.5}, enlarge y limits={upper,value=0.4},  ylabel=Mon, ylabel style={text height=0.02\textwidth,inner ysep=0pt},  ybar,ybar stacked, major x tick style = transparent,  /pgf/bar shift=0pt, /pgf/bar width=9pt, x tick label style={text height=2ex},    xlabel style={yshift=-2ex},  xticklabels from table={\Rob}{Criterion},  xtick=data,legend columns=-1, legend style={draw=none, /tikz/every even column/.append   style={column sep=5pt}}]  \nextgroupplot[xlabel=Rob, xlabel shift = -7.5cm, legend to name=grouplegend] \pgfplotstableforeachcolumn\Rob\as\col{     \ifnum\pgfplotstablecol=0      \else       \edef\tmp{         \noexpand\addplot table [x expr=\noexpand\coordindex,y=\col] {\noexpand\Rob};         \noexpand\addlegendentry {\col}     }     \tmp     \fi }  \nextgroupplot[xlabel=Gab, xlabel shift = -7.5cm] \pgfplotstableforeachcolumn\Gab\as\col{     \ifnum\pgfplotstablecol=0      \else     \edef\tmp{         \noexpand\addplot table [x expr=\noexpand\coordindex,y=\col] {\noexpand\Gab};     }     \tmp     \fi   }   \end{groupplot}  \draw[dashed] (plots c1r1.south west) -- ++(0,-1.5);   \draw[dashed] (plots c1r1.south east) -- ++(0,-1.5);  \draw[dashed] (plots c2r1.south west) -- ++(0,-1.5);  \draw[dashed] (plots c2r1.south east) -- ++(0,-1.5);  \node at (plots c1r1.south) [inner sep=0pt,anchor=north, yshift=-12ex]     {\ref{grouplegend}};  \end{tikzpicture}  \end{document} Shut down computer from keyboard Is there a keyboard shortcut available to shutdown the computer?
