During my daily check of SO, i came across  question,   So naturally i flagged it as low quality since such questions are impossible to answer. But for some reason the moderator reviewing the flag declined it.   The question at hand here, when is a question worthy of flagging for a moderator's attention, should we simply ignore such questions in the future? If not then what would be the appropriate way to deal with the situation?
I flagged a question, , as "low quality" but a moderator declined it. I thought that the post was a low quality one and would like to know why the moderator did not.  Hopefully shedding light on this matter will avail me of the knowledge to be a better flagger in future.  My logic was that mysql-fetch-row is not supposed to return an array of results. If it does than its name would be mysql-fetch-rows.  What's your take on the situation?
I would like to see an explicit example of a non-trivial elementary extension of the structure $(\mathbb{N}, +, \cdot, 0, 1)$ where $\mathbb{N}$ includes zero. Most of all I am interested in countable ones. Disable chat migration notification if one of the users has insufficient rep? I'm developing a PHP application and I'm wondering about the best way to include multi-language support for users in other countries.  I'm proficient with PHP but have never developed anything with support for other languages.  I was thinking of putting the language into a PHP file with constants, example:  en.php could contain:  define('HZ_DB_CONN_ERR', 'There was an error connecting to the database.');   and fr.php could contain:  define('HZ_DB_CONN_ERR', 'whatever the french is for the above...');   I could then call a function and automatically have the correct language passed in.  hz_die('HZ_DB_CONN_ERR', $this);   Is this a good way of going about it?  -- morristhebear. So I have some ISO stock options (yeah) and three kids in college (boo) so I'm trying figure out the best tax strategy. I was hoping someone help me through the following scenario  Strike Price: $10, 2014 exercise price: $20, 2015 price: $25, 2016 price $30   Lets' assume that all of this happens 2+ years after the grant date and that my "normal" tax bill is right on the brink of the AMT threshold, that the AMT tax rate is 28% and the long term capital gains tax is 15%.   Now I want to run the following scenario  2014: exercise 1000 options 2015: exercise 1000 options, sell the previous years' option after "one year and one day" 2016: sell the 2015 options after "one year and a day"    Tax wise that would look like this  2014: AMT on $10000 of bargain element so $2800 AMT 2015: AMT on $15000 bargain element $4200, long term gain tax on $15000 = $2250 2016: long term gain tax on $20000 = $3000    What's the overall tax liability in each year? I can't figure out how the AMT carries forward when the options are finally sold.   Any good pointers to modeling software, spreadsheets or decent papers would also be appreciated. Setting Objects to Null/Nothing after use in .NET Should you set all the objects to null (Nothing in VB.NET) once you have finished with them?   I understand that in .NET it is essential to dispose of any instances of objects that implement the IDisposable interface to release some resources although the object can still be something after it is disposed (hence the isDisposed property in forms), so I assume it can still reside in memory or at least in part?  I also know that when an object goes out of scope it is then marked for collection ready for the next pass of the garbage collector (although this may take time).  So with this in mind will setting it to null speed up the system releasing the memory as it does not have to work out that it is no longer in scope and are they any bad side effects?  MSDN articles never do this in examples and currently I do this as I cannot  see the harm. However I have come across a mixture of opinions so any comments are useful. What do the supercharges in extended supersymmetry do? What do the supercharges in  do?  In ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetry there are a certain number of fermions and and equal number of bosons. You can transform all fermions to the bosons (and vice versa) in a 1 to 1 fashion using a single supercharge, $Q$.  So what happens when you have, for example, ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetry with 8 supercharges? Since $Q$ is a generator of supersymmetry transformations, is it a linear combination of these supercharges that act on the particles? In which case could one particle be acted on by two separate linear combinations of $Q$? Or is it strictly one linear combination of $Q$ per fermion/boson?  Also, what does ${\cal N}$ mean physically? What difference does ${\cal N}=2$ have to ${\cal N}=1$ other than more supercharges? Or is that the only difference between the two theories? How to avoid messages from applications which I ran with a &? I ran dolphin like this:  dolphin . &amp;   I see messages in the console like these:  QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmap   How can I keep the console clean or silent? Constraints of relativistic point particle in Hamiltonian mechanics I try to understand constructing of Hamiltonian mechanics with constraints. I decided to start with the simple case: free relativistic particle. I've constructed hamiltonian with constraint:  $$S=-m\int d\tau \sqrt{\dot x_{\nu}\dot x^{\nu}}.$$  Here $\phi=p_{\mu}p^{\mu}-m^2=0$  $-$ .  Then $$H=H_{0}+\lambda \phi=\lambda \phi.$$   So, I want to show that I can obtain from this Hamiltonian the same equation of motion, as obtained from Lagrangian.  But the problem is that I'm not sure what to do with $\lambda=\lambda(q,p)$. I tried the following thing:  $$\dot x_{\mu}=\{x_{\mu},\lambda \phi\}=\{x_{\mu},\lambda p^2\}-m^2\{x_{\mu},\lambda\}=\lambda\{x_{\mu},p^2\}+p^2\{x_{\mu},\lambda\}-m^2\{x_{\mu},\lambda\}$$$$=2\lambda \eta_{\mu b} p^b+p^2\{x_{\mu},\lambda\}-m^2\{x_{\mu},\lambda\}=2\lambda \eta_{\mu b} p^b+p^2\frac{\partial \lambda}{\partial p^{\mu}}-m^2\frac{\partial \lambda}{\partial p^{\mu}},$$  $$\dot \lambda=\{\lambda, \lambda \phi \}=\{\lambda,\lambda p^2\}-m^2\{\lambda,\lambda\}=\lambda\{\lambda,p^2\}+p^2\{\lambda,p^2\}=2\lambda\eta_{ak}p^{a}\frac{\partial \lambda}{\partial x^{k}},$$  $$\dot p_{\mu}=\{p_{\mu},\lambda p^{2}-m^2\lambda \}=p^{2}\{p_{\mu},\lambda\}-m^2\{p_{\mu},\lambda\}=-p^{2}\frac{\partial \lambda}{\partial x^{\mu}}+m^2\frac{\partial \lambda}{\partial x^{\mu}}.$$  If we recall that $p^2-m^2=0$, then we get from the third equation: $\dot p=0$, and from the first: $$\dot x_{\mu}=2\lambda\eta_{ak}p^{a}.$$  So we have    $\dot x_{\mu}=2\lambda\eta_{\mu b}p^{b}.$ $\dot \lambda=2\lambda\eta_{ak}p^{a}\frac{\partial \lambda}{\partial x^{k}}.$ $\dot p=0.$   But I don't know what to do next. Can you help me? I put 4 different layers into my ArcMap document, but only one of them will show up on the map! I should be seeing the other 3 layers as well. When I do a Zoom to layer, I can see one layer, but I cannot figure out how to make the other 3 show up at once on top of each other.  Before I opened ArcMap, I used ArcCatalog where I right-clicked 3/4 of the shapefiles and  clicked Properties &rarr; Coordinate system &rarr; Import and then clicked on my Trees layer, which has the coordinate system I want the other 3 to have. But when I opened ArcMap the 4 layers did not overlap, nor could I move them above or below each other. Proof by induction of summation inequality: $1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\dots+\frac1{2^n}\ge 1+\frac{n}2$ Prove by induction the summation of $\frac1{2^n}$ is greater than or equal to $1+\frac{n}2$.  We start with $$1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}+\dots+\frac1{2^n}\ge 1+\frac{n}2$$ for all positive integers.   I have resolved that the following attempt to prove this inequality is false, but I will leave it here to show you my progress. In my proof, I need to define P(n), work out the base case for n=1, and then follow through with the induction step. Strong mathematical induction may be used.  This is equivalent to $$\sum_{k=0}^n\frac1{2^k}\ge 1+\frac{n}2\;.$$  Let $P(n)$ be summation shown above.   Base case for $n=1$, the first positive integer,   $$\sum_{k=0}^1\frac1{2^k}=\frac1{2^0}+\frac1{2^1}=1+\frac12=\frac32\ge 1+\frac12=\frac32\;,$$  so base case is true.  Induction step: Assume $P(n)$ is true and implies $P(n+1)$. Thus   $$\sum_{k=0}^{n+1}\frac1{2^k}\ge\frac1{2^{n+1}}+\sum_{k=0}^n\frac1{2^k}\ge 1+\frac{n+1}2\;.$$  This can be written as   $$\sum_{k=0}^{n+1}\frac1{2^k}\ge \frac1{2^{n+1}}+1+\frac{n}2\ge 1+\frac{n+1}2\;.$$  I work the math out but I get stuck contradicting my statement.

How do I determine whether a drive is an HDD or SSD in Windows 8?
