I came across a great milling combo, however before I invest in the deck, I wanted to make sure it's legal. A rep at my LGS thinks not, but I wanted a 2nd (and more) opinion.   Turn #1: Land + 1 generic 1 drop flyer. Turn #2: Land +  Turn #3: Land +  Turn #4: Land + Protection/Removal. Activate the DG's 1st ability via attack, Tome Scour, Thought Scour, etc. This will create an infinite milling loop and win by turn 4 if everything goes right. If opp has artifact removal, I can thrown in a Padeem or Orbs of Warding. Then even if opp has creature removal or board wipe, I'll have 4x each.   To simplify this inquiry, I have precisely, squarely, meticulously narrowed the specific questions that are the basis on my query...   1 - Will this combo work?  2 - Have you personally tried it and to what extent of success did you achieve?  3 - What modifications would you suggest?   Thank you.
Okay the scenario I'm thinking of is as follows:   I control a ,  and 3 untapped lands (2 swamps, 1 Island to be perdantic). In my opponents turn he casts a burn spell to kill my duskmantle.   I activate his first ability in response.   The way I am hoping the following interactions will go is:   Duskmantles ability will hit the stack at the top and resolve The burn spell resolves dealing its damage to Duskmantle The burn spell card hits the graveyard and triggers the infinite loop for duskmantle and mindcrank killing my opponent Duskmantle perishes   Is this the way that the stack would pan out? Do I win in this situation regardless of the stack being correct or not above? (I am not fully familiar with how the stack really works in magic) You can see the cards from my deck .

Google calendar sharing I am a Google Apps administrator in the process of transferring a multitude of secondary calendars from a previous Google account. So following advice from  I did the following:  Old Account   Download calendar and save as ICS   New Administor Account   Create new calendar Select "Share Calendar With Others", "Share calendar with everyone in the organization - see all event details"    However nobody in the organization can see the new calendar under "Other Calendars" nor do they get any form of notification.   It seems everyone in the organization has to now somehow add this calendar(s) via "Add a colleague's calendar" OR I have to add each user's new Google account. This is turning into an administrative nightmare.  The behavior I want is:   Maintain a list of calendars that everyone in the organization has access to By default all users in organization have "See All Event Details" access. Certain organization users have "Make Changes To Events" and Apps Administrators have "Make Changes AND Sharing" As users are added/removed to the Google Apps domain the access to these calendars are automatically granted/revoked ie. Organization users should not have to do anything to get access to the list of calendars.   I am sure there is a simple solution to this that I am missing, so if someone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Cant find my harddrives in ubuntu installation?

Reason for strange "canyons" of dust on the cooling platform I took apart my cooling platform Something like this :  And I found something like this inside :       I wonder why around the hollows are the "canyon like" structures.  PS: I also drop this platform on the floor, maybe this could be a reason ?   EDIT :  Everybody seems (except Brandon Enright answer) to ignore the word "dust" in this question. Those structures are not in the plastic itself. It is dust ON the plastic.  Proof :     Completely wiped out with my finger : Photons have no mass but they can push things, as evidenced by .   Can photons push the source which is emitting them? If yes, will a more intense flashlight accelerate me more? Does the wavelength of the light matter? Is this practical for space propulsion? Doesn't it defy the law of momentum conservation?  Note: As John Rennie mentioned, all in all the wavelength doesn't matter, but for a more accurate answer regarding that, see the comments in  .

Seems to work in all chat rooms (I only tested 2 as I don't want to upset too many people...)  How should we proceed? Why this proof $0=1$ is wrong?(breakfast joke) We have $$e^{2\pi i n}=1$$  So we have $$e^{2\pi in+1}=e$$  which implies $$(e^{2\pi in+1})^{2\pi in+1}=e^{2\pi in+1}=e$$ Thus we have $$e^{-4\pi^{2}n^{2}+4\pi in+1}=e$$  This implies $$e^{-4\pi^{2}n^{2}}=1$$  Taking the limit when $n\rightarrow \infty$ gives $0=1$. Can it be assumed a evaluation order of the function parameters when calling it in C ? According to the following program, it seems that there is not a particular order when I executed it.   #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;  int main() {    int a[] = {1, 2, 3};    int * pa;      pa = &amp;a[0];    printf("a[0] = %d\ta[1] = %d\ta[2] = %d\n",*(pa), *(pa++),*(++pa));    /* Result: a[0] = 3  a[1] = 2    a[2] = 2 */     pa = &amp;a[0];    printf("a[0] = %d\ta[1] = %d\ta[2] = %d\n",*(pa++),*(pa),*(++pa));    /* Result: a[0] = 2  a[1] = 2     a[2] = 2 */     pa = &amp;a[0];    printf("a[0] = %d\ta[1] = %d\ta[2] = %d\n",*(pa++),*(++pa), *(pa));    /* a[0] = 2  a[1] = 2 a[2] = 1 */  } I was recently reading some Lord of the Rings/Stargate SG-1 crossover fanfiction. It is a guilty pleasure, I admit :) In this story, it was suggested by Col. O'Neill to destroy the Ring using a nuclear device. Truth be told I stopped reading at this point, as it was getting to be a little much even for me.  Obviously, this is not canonical in either universe, but it made me wonder: When Elrond said that "only in the fires of Mt. Doom may it be unmade," was he speaking literally? Or was this merely the only known active volcano in Middle Earth? In other words, was whatever magic that protected the One Ring from damage location-based or did it just make it very resistant to destructive force, and Mt. Doom just happened to be hot enough to do this? I know there is (understandably) little information about such technicalities of how magic works in Middle Earth, but I'll accept any reasonable conjecture/consensus as an answer. Which SUSY models are affected by the recent LHCb result? The LHCb has recently  the observation of $B_s \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$ with a branching ratio that agrees with the Standard Model (SM). There are many blog posts about it (See: ).  The result initiated a debate over its implication on Supersymmetry in general, which I don't want to discuss here. But it certainly affects some Supersymmetric models that may have a different prediction than that of the SM.   My questions are,   Which models in particular are affected (or variants of models)? What is the MSSM status? The NMSSM? Does the result affect some of the parameter space of a particular model, or does it rule out an entire model/or variant of a model? Why are papers without code but with results accepted? I just started reading some papers (Computer Science, specifically Computer Vision) and thought "now let's look at the source code" and was quite astonished that most of the papers don't have any source code implementing the described methods to look at, while claiming some performance or being better than other papers.  How do these papers get accepted in journals / conferences? Do people have to submit their source code privately to the reviewers at least, so that they can reproduce the experiment if possible.  Do most journals / conferences just "trust" that people who submit the paper really implemented the theory and got those exact results?  I always had this idea that any experiment should be reproducible by others else it's not scientific justified. Been wondering about this the last few days.
