I've never used bounty on one of my questions. I've read that I can set a bounty and they will appear prominent.   I should then award the best question.  So, will they (who awarded) get same reputation points as I've set bounty? Will the same reputation points of mine be cut from my account if I award another?
It's possible to offer and award bounties of reputation on questions.   What is a bounty? How can I find questions that have a bounty attached? How do I start a bounty? When can I start a bounty? Why is the system requiring me to choose a bounty amount that's higher than the minimum? Can I use Markdown formatting in the bounty remarks? Can I edit the remark? How long is the bounty period? How do I award a bounty? Can I award a bounty to my own answer? Can I award a bounty to an old answer? If I offer a bounty on someone else's question, can I award the bounty to their answer? After awarding the bounty, can I remove it or move it to another answer at a later time? What happens if there's no answer after the bounty period? What happens if I feel my question is still unanswered? What is automatic awarding? Are bounty awards exempt from the 200 points/day reputation limit? How does Community Wiki mode affect bounties? How does user deletion or post dissociation affect bounties? Can I award a bounty to an answer from a deleted user or one where the author was dissociated? Can I offer a second bounty after the first one has expired? Can I raise my bounty? What happens if a bounty question is closed or deleted? Why can't I vote to close or migrate a bounty question? What happens if I delete my account while I have an active bounty? Do I keep an awarded bounty when I delete my answer? What happens if a question where I awarded a bounty later gets deleted or migrated? Can I cancel my bounty? Can I affect / divide / share part of my bounty to two (or more) users? How many outstanding bounties can a single user have?      See also:  in the Help Center
How to convert aspell dictionary to simple list of words? I want to get list of all words from aspell dictionary. I downloaded aspell and aspell polish dictionary, then unziped it using:  preunzip pl.cwl   I got pl.wl:  ... hippie hippies hippiesowski/bXxYc hippika/MNn hippis/NOqsT hippisiara/MnN hippiska/mMN hippisowski/bXxYc ...   but they appear with sufix like /bXxYc or /MNn. These suffixes are defined in pl_affix.dat, which looks like  ... SFX n Y 5 SFX n   a         0         [^ij]a SFX n   ja        yj        [^aeijoóuy]ja SFX n   a         0         [aeijoóuy]ja SFX n   ia        ij        [^drt]ia SFX n   ia        yj        [drt]ia ...   It is connected to the declination and conjugation. How can I add to the first list all forms (with all corresponding suffixes as defined in .dat file ) ?  BTW: I need this list to spell-checker jazzy. Any class of a nonempty $X$ generates a base for a topology on $X$. Theorem Any class $\mathcal{A}$ of subsets of a nonempty set $X$ is the subbase for a unique topology $\tau$ on $X$. That is to say, the finite intersections of members of $\mathcal{A}$ form a base for the topology $\tau$ on $X$. Example Consider $X=\{a,b,c,d\}$ Let $\mathcal{A}=\{\{a,b\},\{b,c\},\{d\}\}$ The finite intersection of members of $\mathcal{A}$ give us: $$\mathcal{B}=\{\{a,b\},\{b,c\},\{d\},\{b\},\varnothing,X\}$$  How is it true that $X \in \mathcal{B}$ ? By definition of subbase, the finite intersection of members of $\mathcal{A}$ are the members of some base $\mathcal{B}$. But for $a_i \in \mathcal{A}, \displaystyle\bigcap a_i \neq X$ for any finite intersection of $a_i$'s. Look: $\{a,b\}\cap\{b,c\}\cap \{d\} \neq \{a,b,c,d\}$ nor do any other intersection of elements of $\mathcal{B}$ result in $X$. Anybody know what's going on here? Why is $X \in \mathcal{B}$?

Tell rate-limited users how long they have to wait before asking a new question New users are limited to one question per an hour, but once they'll hit this limit, all they see is You can only post once every 60 minutes. I think it would be very appreciate to change / extend this message, adding You need to wait next xx minutes. I saw similar solutions on many forums.  Would it be hard to implement something like that?  EDIT: It could be either added as extension to above mentioned warning message or as red-colored reminder above Title field. Or even as an explanation message, preventing user from clicking on a Ask Question button? Anything would be good, to not let user write the question (can be time consuming) only to hit the wall of limit. This can be a little bit annoying or frustrating, don't you think? Why is this sequence of functions not uniformly convergent? For the following sequence of functions and its limit function, we can see that $f_n(x)$ is clearly pointwise convergent  $$f_n(x) = x^n\text{ }\forall x\in[0,1]\text{ and }\forall n\in\mathbb N^*\\ f(x) = \begin{cases}0&amp;\text{if } x\in[0,1)\\1&amp;\text{if } x=1\end{cases}$$  However, I was wondering why this is not uniformly convergent. The condition for uniform convergence is:  $$|f_n(x) - f(x)| &lt; \epsilon,\ \ \ \forall x \text{ when } n &gt; N$$  Now most sources present an argument along the lines of: assume that $f_n(x)$ is uniformly convergent and that $0 &lt; x &lt; 1$, this means that $x^n&lt;\epsilon$ whenever $n&gt;N$. Specifically, this would mean $x^{N+1}&lt;\epsilon$ for some fixed $N$. But if we now pick $x$ such that $1 &gt; x &gt; ε^{\frac{1}{N+1}}$, then this would lead to a contradiction, therefore $f_n(x)$ is not uniformly convergent.  However, I was wondering why couldn't we take $n$ to infinity. If $0 &lt; x &lt; 1$, then $\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} |f_n(x) - f(x)| = 0$ (which is less than $\epsilon$). Now since $|f_n(x) - f(x)|$ will always be $0$ if $n &gt; \infty$, then wouldn't this be uniformly convergent? I've never really thought about how the shell actually executes piped commands. I've always been told that the "stdout of one program gets piped into the stdin of another," as a way of thinking about pipes. So naturally, I thought that in the case of say, A | B, A would run first, then B gets the stdout of A, and uses the stdout of A as its input.    But I've noticed that when people search for a particular process in ps, they'd include grep -v "grep" at the end of the command to make sure that grep doesn't appear in the final output. This means that in the command ps aux | grep "bash" | grep -v "grep" it is implied that ps knew that grep was running and therefore is in the output of ps. But if ps finishes running before its output gets piped to grep, how did it know that grep was running?   flamingtoast@FTOAST-UBUNTU: ~$ ps | grep ".*" PID TTY          TIME CMD 3773 pts/0    00:00:00 bash 3784 pts/0    00:00:00 ps 3785 pts/0    00:00:00 grep For privacy and performance reasons, I'd like to prevent my computer from ever communicating with certain Internet hosts. I'd like to do this at the OS level, not through web browser plug-ins (not broad enough), or even through my home router (my laptop travels). I'd prefer to use built-in tools.  I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I'm all too familiar with the Windows hosts file - and its limitations. There seems to be some confusion over whether hosts supports wildcards, but my own tests confirm that it does not.  I have experimented with Windows Firewall and the IP Security Policy MMC snap-in. So far as I can tell, both require numeric addresses. I don't want to block specific IP addresses, or ranges of addresses, in part because IP-address-to-hostname mappings can and do change.  Is there any tool in Windows 7 Professional with which I can block (or route to 0.0.0.0) communication with Internet hosts by hostname mask? If not, are there any good, free, third-party tools? The Half-Elven and their choices Earendil and Elwing were given the choice of kindreds after their journey to Valinor, This choice was extended to their sons (specifically sons, not daughters or grandchildren)  Elrond chose the race of the Eldar and his brother Elros chose to be counted amongst the Edain. Thus far Manwë's proclamation has been fulfilled.  There are some inconsistencies here:   Arwen was given the choice, but Elladan and Elrohir remained as Eldar in Imladris Tar-Vardamir was not given the choice The offspring of Imrazor and Mithrelas in Dol Amroth dont seem to have been given a choice   I can think of only one explanation, that the Mannish blood is dominant over the blood of the Eldar, thus, As Vardamir was the offspring of two mortals he did not fall under Manwë's proclamation despite being the son of a half elven.  However this does not seem to explain the other inconsistencies, Is it possible that Elladan and Elrohir and also the princes of Dol Amroth weren't considered important enough by Manwë or Eru to give them the choice.  Also as a side note Tolkien states there were only three unions between man and elf, but this seems to ignore Turin/Finduilas and Imrazor/Mithrelas  My question is, Why was Arwen given the choice and not the sons of Elros? Are the contents of a loot box determined at the time it is awarded or when it is opened?  For example, if you collect multiple loot boxes before a special event but opened them during the special event, would they have the potential of spawning rewards from that event? Initialize parameter of method with default value Why are old initrd files of uninstalled kernels filling up /boot partition? What do I need to get photos with a unifom black background (not with post)? Often i see portraits such as the one below and like the way they look. I wanted to know can I get this look in my shots.  I am sure there are professional materials you can get to outfit a studio that will deliver such results. I have no clue what these items would be, can i get clued in?  Also, I was wondering if there is a DIY way to achieve this as well. Maybe with a black bed sheet or something?  I want to set something up in a room in my house for studio type shots. I am looking to get an idea of what items I need to get this done and how the setup should go.
