How do I insert  in my Stack&nbsp;Overflow question?  I have tried the code, HTML and other options, but I was unable to get my XML code snippet included in my question in a readable format.  &lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt; &lt;DTS:Executable xmlns:DTS="www.microsoft.com/SqlServer/Dts" &gt;     &lt;DTS:ConnectionManager&gt;         &lt;DTS:Property DTS:Name="ObjectName"&gt;DB2Source&lt;/DTS:Property&gt;         &lt;DTS:Property DTS:Name="Description"&gt;&lt;/DTS:Property&gt;         &lt;DTS:Property DTS:Name="CreationName"&gt;OLEDB&lt;/DTS:Property&gt;         &lt;DTS:ObjectData&gt;             &lt;DTS:ConnectionManager&gt;                 &lt;DTS:Property DTS:Name="Retain"&gt;0&lt;/DTS:Property&gt;                     &lt;DTS:Password DTS:Name="Password" Sensitive="1"&gt;&lt;/DTS:Password&gt;                     &lt;DTS:Property DTS:Name="ConnectionString"&gt;Data Source=develop;&gt;                 &lt;/DTS:Property&gt;             &lt;/DTS:ConnectionManager&gt;         &lt;/DTS:ObjectData&gt;     &lt;/DTS:ConnectionManager&gt;      &lt;DTS:ConnectionManager&gt;         &lt;DTS:Property DTS:Name="ObjectName"&gt;SQLDest&lt;/DTS:Property&gt;         &lt;DTS:Property DTS:Name="Description"&gt;&lt;/DTS:Property&gt;         &lt;DTS:Property DTS:Name="CreationName"&gt;OLEDB&lt;/DTS:Property&gt;         &lt;DTS:ObjectData&gt;             &lt;DTS:ConnectionManager&gt;                 &lt;DTS:Property DTS:Name="Retain"&gt;0&lt;/DTS:Property&gt;                 &lt;DTS:Password DTS:Name="Password" Sensitive="1"&gt;&lt;/DTS:Password&gt;                 &lt;DTS:Property DTS:Name="ConnectionString"&gt;Data Source=devc2400;&lt;/DTS:Property&gt;             &lt;/DTS:ConnectionManager&gt;         &lt;/DTS:ObjectData&gt;     &lt;/DTS:ConnectionManager&gt; &lt;/DTS:Executable&gt;

So, my friend just implemented a bunch of new mods into his SMP server, which meant a host of new commands to play with.  I thought I'd give the /mobspawn command a few goes, and see what I could achieve.  So I headed off to the server's jail (I forget why this particular location compelled me), and gave it a few spins.    I seem to have made a bit of an error in judgement.     What can I do to get rid of this mess?  Is there a command or some other technique I can use to clear out any mobs in my immediate vicinity? prove or disprove: For a prime number p, there is a positive integer n such that $p+1 $= $n^2$ if and only if $ p = 3.$ Prove or disprove: For a prime number p, there is a positive integer n such that $p+1 $= $n^2$ if and only if $ p = 3.$  first im trying to proof if p is prime number there is positive integer n such that $p+1=n^2$ implies $p=3$  suppose there is positive n integer such that $p+1=n^2$ and prove that $p=3$. $p=n^2-1=(n+1)(n-1)$ since $p$ is prime $n-1=1$,$ n = 2 $ $p+1=4$ $p=3$ hence it is proved that $p=3$  now if $p=3$ implies there is positive integer n such that $p+1=n^2 $  $p=3$ and p is prime  $p+1=n^2$, $4=n^2$, $n2$ or $n=-2$ hence it is proved that there is positive integer $n$ such that $p+1=n^2 $  is my proof correct? and also for prime number can i write $n+1=1$ instead $n-1=1$? Are omniscience and omnipotence mutually inconsistent? I see this in The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins:       If God is omniscient, he must already know how he is going to intervene to change the course of history using his omnipotence. But   that means he can't change his mind about his intervention, which   means he is not omnipotent.   Is this argument sound? I'm trying to get my head around mutable vs immutable objects. Using mutable objects gets a lot of bad press (e.g. returning an array of strings from a method) but I'm having trouble understanding what the negative impacts are of this. What are the best practices around using mutable objects? Should you avoid them whenever possible? Prove if $|z| < 1$ and $ |w| < 1$, then $|1-zw^*| \neq 0$ and $| {{z-w} \over {1-zw^*}}| < 1$ Prove if $|z| &lt; 1$ and  $ |w| &lt; 1$, then $|1-zw^*| \neq 0$ and $| {{z-w} \over {1-zw^*}}| &lt; 1$Given that $|1-zw^*|^2 - |z-w|^2 = (1-|z|^2)(1-|w|^2)$I think the first part can be proven by saying $|1-zw^*| = 0$ if and only if $zw^*$ = 1.  And given the conditions that cannot be true. However I don't know if this part is right. Convert a string representation of a hex dump to a byte array using Java? I am looking for a way to convert a long string (from a dump), that represents hex values into a byte array.  I couldn't have phrased it better than the person that posted .  But to keep it original, I'll phrase it my own way: suppose I have a string "00A0BF" that I would like interpreted as the  byte[] {0x00,0xA0,0xBf}   what should I do?  I am a Java novice and ended up using BigInteger and watching out for leading hex zeros. But I think it is ugly and I am sure I am missing something simple. In Volo's Guide it is suggested that a curse could transform someone into a race of 'monstrous origin' (p. 118). Does this apply to the Bestow Curse spell specifically? Note: this is a  (my apologies).  In film / lore, such magic does , ,   - or even  transformative curses.  Points &amp; Concerns:   this is within guidelines for a 'reasonable' curse, i.e. less harm than the listed set Bestow Curse writeup encourages DM-homebrewing &amp;/or interpretation. Great role-play possibility / RAI (hence most myths, fairy tales, cartoons, legends, etc) this could be subject to abuse, temptation to bestow a 'curse' as a blessing / boon one could also change: age, size, weight &amp;/or gender (all great curse ideas... but RAW-legal?)   Summation:  What are the limits of the 3rd lvl / Necromatic Bestow Curse spell for transformation? I have a PC who wants to jump onto an enemy in a combat situation. The player wants him to land on the (humanoid) enemy, sword drawn, and use the enemy to break his fall while plunging shortswords into it. I thought of using a straight attack roll, because it was only a 12 foot drop from the ledge to the top of the enemy. But I would imagine a lot would depend on the distance, and also whether the enemy might suspect such an attack. Also, I would expect the PC would take damage on a miss, but how about on success? How to make DNS server propagate faster if you are a site owner? It's often the case that I want to change name servers because my site is messed up.  Well, it takes a very long time for the name server to propagate.  Is there something in DNS, or registrar or anything I can do to speed that up.  Flushing my dns server using  and it rarely works Using Nouns or Gerunds Could anyone explain when to use a noun or a gerund?  Are these sentences correct?

Pursuant to discussion on the , several have asked how far they'll need to search to determine if a user has expressed their preferred pronouns. This requested feature could create an easy solution for that concern.  On sites where I've reached the  privilege level, users can hover over my picture to see a snippet of my profile:    This is where I've included my preferred pronouns, and where I see many others including them as well.  By making this feature universal, users could quickly and easily check for preferred pronouns without needing to navigate to another page. Using restroom on airplane while fasten seatbelt light is on? This question about  over on  made me wonder what a passenger is supposed to do when they urgently have to use the restroom while the fasten seat belt light is on. FAA regulations require passengers to obey the seat-belt sign, even if flight attendants do not.  I saw this happen on a flight where an older gentleman asked the flight attendant if he could use the restroom, and she said "not until the light is off". The flight had been free of turbulence for 15 minutes or so by this time, and the flight attendants were walking freely throughout the cabin, collecting post-meal trash, etc. The gentleman who asked to use the restroom appeared to be in quite some discomfort, and practically ran to the restroom when the light went off 10 minutes later.  So what is a passenger supposed to do when he isn't permitted to use the lavatory, when he has to go and can't wait? Just go in their seat? Title tag different from title appearing in Google? I'm just wondering how it is possible that IGN.com has this in its title tag:      Video Games, Cheats, Walkthroughs, Game Trailers, Reviews, News, Previews &amp; Videos at IGN   while on Google its title is simply "IGN".   How can one achieve such a thing? Does it use some special meta tag I can't see? what does ∇ (upside down triangle) symbol mean in this problem Given $f(x) = \frac{1}{2}x^TAx + b^Tx + \alpha $   where A is an nxn symmetric matrix, b is an n-dimensional vector, and alpha a scalar. Show that  $\bigtriangledown _{x}f(x) = Ax + b$   and  $H = \bigtriangledown ^{2}_{x}f(x) = A$   Is this simply a matter of taking a derivative with respect to X, how would you attack this one? Change in "under review" date Towards the end of , how do I get  $$ \frac{\sqrt{8z + 1} - 1}{2} &lt; w + 1 $$  Here $w = x + y \geq 0, t = (w^2 + w)/2 , z = t + w, x,y \in \mathbb N_{\geq 0}$.  Thanks. Discrete and compact subset must be finite Both DHCP and static IP addresses simultaneously on one interface We can use multiple IP addresses for a single interface in Linux (eg. eth0:0, eth0:1). But can we use DHCP and static IP at the same time? eth0:1 should have a static IP address and eth0:0 should be configured using DHCP.  How can we accomplish both? To evaluate limit of sequence $\left(\left( 1 + \frac1n \right) \left( 1 + \frac2n \right)\cdots\left( 1 + \frac nn \right) \right)^{1/n}$ How do I evaluate the limit of the following sequence $$a_n  = \left(\left( 1 + \frac1n \right) \left( 1 + \frac2n \right)\cdots\left( 1 + \frac nn \right) \right)^{1/n}$$   I tried to take log and then using cauchy $1^{st}$ theorem of limits but I coudn't do it.  Could someone kindly help? This is in Windows, but answers for other operating systems can be handy to others.  Most guides say something to the effect of "hold down the Alt key and type in the code on the keypad".  This works fine for decimal codes (like 65 for 'A'), but not for  codes (like  for 'A').  Some applicatons provide other facilities that will allow hexadecimal Unicode character codes to be typed and then transformed.  Word allows you to type the code (such as 200f) and then convert it to Unicode by typing Alt-X.  I'm looking for a general method of doing this that will work with the standard input.
