I wonder why do we say      Is there any mail for me?    rather than      Is there any mails for me?   As far as I know, whenever the word any is used, we have to add an s to the end of the next word.
I came across this example on WordWeb while going through the meaning of the word ''.     the program brought an avalanche of mail (Just like "a group of man men").   I'm quite sure it should be mails. Kindly confirm.
What's the difference between a shunt resistor and a four-terminal resistor? I want to know if the four-terminal resistor and the shunt resistor are the same.   Is there another use for the four-terminal resistor except measuring current? Is there a VB.NET-Like operator in C#? Force Messages to use SMS for specific contact rather than iMessage? Essentially, I would like to set my phone so that all my outgoing messages to a specific friend, with whom I currently text back and forth over iMessage, are sent out over SMS, never iMessage. Additionally, I would like to block any incoming iMessage texts of his and (hopefully) they'll fail and be resent via SMS.  Let me restate that: I would like to force SMS for both parties, going both ways, for a specific individual contact.   Is this possible? Blocking any usage of iMessage between myself and this other individual, so they must either send and receive any texts to or from me via SMS (or the texts fail/never arrive). Switching motherboard without new install? Show that the series $\sum\limits_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac {(n^3+1)^{1/3}-n}{\log n}$ converges Show that the series $$\sum\limits_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac {(n^3+1)^{1/3}-n}{\log n}$$ converges.   I showed it using Abel's theorem and limit comparison test. Any other simpler method? Is selenium webdriver capable of database testing? After reading so many answers and forums it makes me confused. Some people say: Selenium webdriver is a browser automation tool and it has nothing to do with the database. And some other showing JARs and code that how we can connect selenium to the database and we can test database using selenium webdriver. So I would really like to know if we can do database testing using selenium? If yes then which databases tool it supports like Mysql, SQL server, Oracle... And if selenium is not suitable for database testing then please recommend to me the best tool for database testing. Do you mind me / my Do the following sentences mean the same?        Do you mind if I open the window?   Do you mind me opening the window?   Do you mind my opening the window?      for me they all mean the same, bit #3 is a little less common as far as I've seen so far. Do you agree with me?  PS. I am more about the AmE register. Gerund preceded by a genitive? Is this sentence actually grammatical?     You know your having a rough day when kittens don't even make you smile.   The writer of this sentence may intend to mean you're instead of your but I'm just wondering if having a gerund preceded by a genitive is considered grammatical in this case.  If the sentence above is ungrammatical, why is this sentence grammatical?      He resents your being more popular than he is.   What's the difference between these two sentence that determines one to be grammatical and the other to be not?  This is how I analyze the two sentences and I can't see the difference:   "You know it when kittens don't even make you smile" for "it" = "your having a rough day" "He resents it" for "it" = "your being more popular than he is" I know that there exist some attack when using same modulus.      But with a little modification, $m$ is the plain-text $N$ is the RSA modulus $r_1, r_2$ is the random padding $e, s$ is the public exponent $C_e, C_s$ is the cipher-text  encrypt as follow $$С_e = (m + r_1)^e   \bmod N$$ $$С_s = (m + r_2)^s   \bmod N$$  If attacker only knows $C_e, C_s, r_1, r_2, e, s, N$. Is it possible to know $m$?  It seems the  does not work? Why won't Nikon B700 focus close when fully zoomed? Hello recently I went to best buy and played with a Nikon B500, it was great. I was able to focus on the smallest things, close or far, zoomed all the way in and all the way out. So I went on the internet and found out that the B700 shoots in raw so I got it instead thinking it was better. Only I cant get it to focus on anything close up, weather in macro or not after like 25% zoom it no longer focuses on anything no matter what settings I put it on leaving me to think that I should have gotten the cheaper B500. It may not shoot in raw but at least it would be usable. I am fairly new to photography I had a friend with much more experience come over and try to figure it out. He told me that my camera has a range that it is able to focus on. Only the cheaper B500 focused on things way more zoomed in and with the camera much closer to the object so it doesn't make much since to me. So my question is why wont my camera focus on macro shots (weather in macro or not)? I am not very well versed on set theory or syntax, but I thought I knew the basics.  However, in a book about databases I am reading now, the author uses $2^x$ to signify "a set of $x$."  For example, $2^{\text{dogs}}$ is a set of $\text {dogs}$, etc.    The author never really explained this or why he does it, I just picked up the meaning from context.    I am not sure why the exponent operator is used, nor am I sure what the number $2$ has to do with it.  The sets being represented are NOT powers of $2$ (in size)... they come in all sizes.  Is this a valid notation?  I have not seen it anywhere before... I have connected speakers to the back panel of my computer at work and I would like to have them always enabled (I can switch them off on the speaker casing). However when I connect headphones on the front panel system automatically says that the rear output is unplugged.  I found a solution to disable auto detection with Alsamixer and it works almost ok except the fact that after system restart I need to reconfigure the settings again... How can I set this once and forget about it? I am a platform diver. I am trying to figure out how deep in the water I go depending on which platform I dive from.  The platforms are 1m, 3m, 5m, 7.5m and 10m above the water surface.  By ignoring air resistance (we assume that I do not do any tricks) I can easily compute the energy that my 90 kg body has when it is hitting the water:  E = mgh = 0.5mv^2   My problem is to find the deceleration in water and thus how deep my feet will go into the water before coming to a halt. We can assume that I stand straight and fall straight down and have a height of 190cm.  How do I compute that? What is an Electron? I am a n00b to physics. What physics I know comes from high school and popular science books.  At school we were taught about atoms and what make up atoms, but we weren't actually told what the particles were!  So sure an atom has electrons orbiting around a nucleus made of protons and neutrons, but what exactly is an ?  And if we don't know, how can we fire them from guns, like they do in experiments ... etc  Any clarification on this would be great. How to set a command block with a command inside using the setblock command Does someone know how to set a command block with a command inside using the setblock command?  I have created this code /setblock &lt;x&gt; &lt;y&gt; &lt;z&gt; command_block {TileEntityData:{Command:"testfor @p[_=1]"}} but it doesn't works.  Do someone know how to do that? If I replace my main panel, will I need to fit AFCIs? This question is about whether "circuits" can be grandfathered if the breaker or panel is changed but the circuit is otherwise not disturbed.   Code is NEC 2017.  My existing main panel has plenty of ampacity but few spaces, and thus, is totally full.  I have several potential paths for an upgrade.    One involves fitting a subpanel and moving 4 circuits (2 double-stuff breakers) there, and adding circuits there.    The other involves outright replacing the main with a very fine 60 space main panel.  No more space problems!  But what happens with AFCI and GFCI requirements? If this were a new house,  nearly all my circuits would require it, but I am grandfathered.  Will the  "new main" scenario void the grandfathering and require that nearly all circuits be upgraded to that protection?   Or can I just move over my old breakers and call it good? How can I safely prototype a mains power circuit? I'm building a device that has a mains power component, which I need to prototype before building to make sure everything works. I know I need to make sure wiring—and insulation!—is thick enough to cope with the higher current, and that I need to make sure there's enough space between exposed components so there's no arcing. I'll also be stashing whatever I prototype in a nice, insulated box before applying power, and I'll be include a small-value (250mA) fuse just in case. I'll be considering everything double-insulated rather than earthed (plastic enclosure, and there's nothing I'll need to touch while it's operating).  My plan is to solder (through-hole) components directly to each other, then insulate everything (with heatshrink tubing or electrical tape) as much as possible, then use screw-type cable joiners to connect the power cable.  I know I can't use traditional prototyping tools such as breadboards and stripboard for mains voltages, but what can I use to make prototyping at mains voltages easier?  (To be clear, 'mains voltage' in my area means 230V AC +10/-6% at 50Hz; GPOs are generally rated at 10A.) Virtual Host not working as expected when I'm using .dev domain extension I'm doing a Laravel project and I need to set up a virtual host example.dev in my system. For that I've created a copy of 000-default.conf and named it as example.dev.conf and placed in /etc/apache2/sites-available. The contents of the file is given below (comments removed):  &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;     &lt;Directory /var/www/html/example/public/&gt;         Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews         AllowOverride All         Require all granted     &lt;/Directory&gt;      ServerName example.dev     ServerAlias www.example.dev      ServerAdmin admin@example.dev     DocumentRoot /var/www/html/example/public      ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log     CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;   Then I've enabled the site using a2ensite command and disabled 000-default.conf using a2dissite command. Then it will open my project when I try localhost (/var/www/html) in my browser and not example.dev. The virtual host example.dev always produce "The site can't be reached" error in browsers.  Any suggestions? Is there a way to access Windows file with administrative rights using WSL?  sudo vi /mnt/c/Users/a/admin/file.txt Filling cells with sequential numbers in an Excel (2003) macro I need to fill an excel column with a sequential series, in this case from -500 to 1000.  I've got a macro to do it, but it takes a lot of lines for something that seems like it should be a single function [something like FillRange(A2:A1502, -500, 1000, 1)].  But if that function exists, I can't find it.  Is the following as simple and elegant as it gets?  'Draw X axis scale Cells(1, 1).Value = "mV" Cells(2, 1).Value = -500 Cells(3, 1).Value = -499 Cells(4, 1).Value = -498  Dim selection1 As Range, selection2 As Range  Set selection1 = Sheet1.Range("A2:A4") Set selection2 = Sheet1.Range("A2:A1502")  selection1.AutoFill Destination:=selection2
