I was wondering if it is possible to decompile a .net binary application? and I found out that is easy as a piece of cake!  This is wired. why would Microsoft NOT protect customer source code binaries?  At least why it is so easy to decompile even with orginal variable names and etc.  I know that in PHP there is a way to encode your source code that nobody can read that. I don't know if its impossible to decompile BUT at least it is not as easy as JetBrains or ILSpy  So my main Question is here:  IS THERE ANY WAY TO ENCODE YOUR SOURCE CODES IN .NET (C#)?
Obfuscation is one way, but it can't protect from breaking the piracy protection security of the application. How do I make sure that the application is not tampered with, and how do I make sure that the registration mechanism can't be reverse engineered?  Also it is possible to convert a C# application to native code, and  is too costly.  C# provides lot of features, and is the ideal language for my code, so writing the whole codebase again in C++ is out of the question.  Secure certificates can be easily removed from the signed assemblies in .NET.

Snapping in PyQGIS3.0 The following expression enables snapping for PyQGIS 2.0 :  QgsProject.instance().setSnapSettingsForLayer(layer.id(), True, 2, 1, 10, True)   What is the equivalent expression in PyQGIS 3.0? Footnote to an item in a description environment It seems like it's not possible to put footnote inside a description list item.  For example in the following code first footnote appears at the bottom of the page, but the second - doesn't:  \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}  \begin{document}     Text text text.\footnote{This footnote is working}     \begin{description}         \item[Label\footnote{This footnote is not working}] Some description     \end{description} \end{document}   Why it's not working this way? And is there any way to put footnote to a list item? Do DOM tree elements with ids become global variables? Why is there an "electric" potential drop across the resistor? An electric potential difference is created when two charges are separated. In a capacitor, there is a clear accumulation of opposite charges on the two separated plates, therefore work has to be done in moving an unit charge from one plate to another, against the electric field.   But, , a potential difference is created in a resistor due to the heat produced by the collision and increased lattice vibrations. So there is an energy loss across the resistor, yes, but how does this energy loss due to heat create an electric potential difference. In other words, do electrons accumulate on one or both sides of the resistor? If not, why should we do electric work in moving from one end of the resistor to another. If the difference in energy is not due to electric work, then that's not electric potential, is it? I am currently running Ubuntu 11.10 off of a SanDisk 16GB USB. I installed it using a Live USB with the following partition configuration:  6GB Primary /dos   FAT32 5GB Logical /      ext4 5GB Logical /home  ext4   I don't have a hard disk, and don't see myself getting one anytime soon.   I rely solely on this 16GB, and two other 4GB USBs, one of which I used as the LiveUSB. I bring the USBs around, and even use the install at work.   I previously used an install that used a swap file. It functioned fine for the most part, save for a few slow moments, but I came across , and it got me thinking about my USB's life, so I reinstalled with the current config.   My problem now is that it is slower. Applications like Firefox would hang more often. In my previous setup (the automatically partitioned setup), Firefox would start hanging if I was running an unzip or install task on the same partition as /.   Now however, it would hang if I had another window open i.e. the system settings window. My guess is that it may have something to do with the swap file or the install being on a Logical partition rather than a Primary partition, but I don't know.   Any insight as to why it has slowed down? Animations about a young man pulled into a fantasy setting with dragons? I'm looking for an animation (more likely a film not a series) that I watched as a kid, watched early 90's I'm sure it contained a book loving male main character (wears glasses might have even had an amulet) who gets pulled into a fantasy via a magic book  Setting with dragons and an evil wizard, I remember it being on TV as I never had it on VHS.  Same sort of animation technique as visionaries or thundercats.  Thanks. I was thinking of the noted 1980 paper by Sidney Coleman and Frank de Luccia--"Gravitational effects of and on vacuum decay"-- about metastable vacuum states that could tunnel to a lower energy "true vacuum" with catastrophic results. I suspect the answer is that if our vacuum is a false one, we wouldn't "see" the true one til it hit us. How to create an index map of atlas features in QGIS 3? I realise that this question has been asked before (), however I am still unable to figure out how to create an index map of atlas features in the QGIS map composer.  Basically, I have a line and I have five atlas maps showing the extent of the line, and to show where which map corresponds to the line a I need five overviews on a map with numbers on them, which will look similar to below:    I've created five overviews, but as all of these must be set to correspond to the main map frame, all of them show the overview for which ever atlas feature is selected at the time, rather than appearing as separate index tiles.  Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong? Why does a Devil Fruit's power nullify only if the user is knocked unconscious and not when he sleeps? Does an adjective or longer modifier apply to both nouns when they are joined with 'and' [or 'or']? Can you grab the blue shirts and socks?   Is the above sentence stating that both the shirts and the socks are blue? Or only the shirts?  At this stage, I am leaning towards the earlier (only the shirts) — though writing "Can you grab the blue shirts and blue socks?" seems redundant. Is there evidence of dark matter in our galaxy? Is there evidence of dark matter in our galaxy?  How can we measure this, say, how many percent of the center of our galaxy is dark matter?  I did not find the answer in the question Weather Resistant Outlets vs Weather Proof Box Issue with QGIS 2.10.1 Clip and Intersect Tools Find $\space\ \begin{align*} \lim_ {x \to+\infty} \left [ \frac{\log_{2}(x-1)}{x}\right]   \end{align*}$.   After some minutes around this limit I did it this way:  $\log_{2}(x-1)=y \Leftrightarrow 2^y=x-1$  So,$\space x=2^y+1$.  When $x \to +\infty$,$\space y \to +\infty$ also. By substitution:  $\begin{align*} \lim_ {y \to+\infty} \left [ \frac{\log_{2}(2^y+1-1)}{2^y+1}\right]=\lim_ {y \to+\infty} \left [ \frac{\log_{2}(2^y)}{2^y+1}\right]=\end{align*}$  $\begin{align*}\lim_ {y \to+\infty} \left [ \frac{y}{2^y+1}\right]=\lim_ {y \to+\infty} \left [ \frac{1}{\frac{2^y+1}{y}}  \right]=\lim_ {y \to+\infty} \left [ \frac{1}{\frac{2^y}{y}+\frac{1}{y}}\right]= \frac{1}{+\infty+0}=0  \end{align*}$  Is this correct?Are there any other easy way to find this limit?Thanks How can I make sure that my on-screen colors are consistent? Reprojecting LiDAR data with libLAS, error: "latitude or longitude exceeded limits"? How do I change extension of multiple files recursively from the command line? So, somehow over the weekend, my 1GB USB flash drive has managed to become write-protected.  There is no switch on the stick, so I'm concluding that something has corrupted at some point.  Obviously I can't format it or remove.  The output from dmesg | tail is:  Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 328168 lost page write due to I/O error on sdb1 sd 73:0:0:0: [sdb] Unhandled sense code sd 73:0:0:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE sd 73:0:0:0: [sdb] Sense Key : Data Protect [current] Info fld=0x0 sd 73:0:0:0: [sdb] Add.

Could someone help to see if this output gives any indication?  I usually eject the drive before removing it, but I may have been lax once or twice.  The data isn't critical, it's just bugging me.  Any suggestions on how to fix it (if the drive even can be) would be greatly appreciated.
