So this is strange. If I have the following:  function noTypo(){return;} fucntion doSomething(){return;} fucntion doSomethingElse(){return;}   And I highlight and yank function in function noTypo(), and I invoke visual mode and paste over fucntion with p, it pastes function. Good. But Vim then copies the value that was just pasted (fucntion) into my clipboard, such that when I paste a second time, the value that gets pasted is fucntion. How do I keep the original function value in the clipboard? Am I crazy?
I use the highlight mode in vim to copy a few characters.  I then want to paste more than once.  My current technique does not work well.  Sample text: Linux Solaris Irix HP-UX  Suppose I want to copy the word Linux, then paste over Solaris and Irix.   Place cursor at L in Linux Command v (for visual hilite), then e (for end-of-word), then y (for yank/copy) Now Linux is on my "vim clipboard" Move cursor to S in Solaris (first instance) Command v (for visual hilite), then e (for end-of-word), then p (for paste) Text is now: Linux Linux Irix HP-UX, but now Solaris is on my "vim clipboard" Move cursor to I in Irix (second instance) Command v (for visual hilite), then e (for end-of-word), then p (for paste) Text is now: Linux Linux Solaris HP-UX which is not what I expected.   I resort to using highlite/paste with the mouse (via X Terminal).  Surely, I can do this better.  How?
What if the hard disk is partitioned into more than 26 sections in Windows? As we know, in Windows the partition location is prefixed with [a-z]:. What happens if there are more than 26 partitions? How do I install the latest Python 2.7.X or 3.X on Ubuntu? I want to install the latest Python tarball on Ubuntu, downloaded from .  Is this is a correct way to install?  ./configure make make install   If not, how do I do that? Simple Past vs. Present Perfect: "was" vs. "has been" Group $G$ of order $p^2$: $\;G\cong \mathbb Z_{p^2}$ or $G\cong \mathbb Z_p \times \mathbb Z_p$ If the order of $G$ is $p^2$ then how do I show that $G$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb Z_{p^2}$ or $\mathbb Z_p\times\mathbb Z_p$. Show that $G$ is cyclic Here is a problem from Herstein.     Let G be a finite abelian group so that the equation $x^n=e$ has at most $n$ solutions in $G$ for every positive integer $n$. Show that $G$ is cyclic.   I will have to basically show that there exists an element $g$ in $G$ having order $o(G)$.   I showed that such an element exists if $o(G)=p_1p_2...p_k$ where $p_i$ are primes. But I could not proceed if $o(G)=p_1^{a_1}p_2^{a_2}$. I feel that if I can prove this I will be able to extend. I recently had somebody tell me that a mutual friend of ours who is  prefers that people refer to him/her using the gender-indefinite pronoun they.   In some cases, this almost seems okay:   Kris left their umbrella at our house.  On the other hand, if Kris is sitting right next to you, it feels very odd to say       They (meaning just Kris) would like more cake.   Or even odder,      Kris would like some more cake, can you please pass it to they/them?"   Are these usages grammatically correct? Are they in the process of becoming grammatically correct? Are there more correct alternatives? SQL Server 2012 and 2016 Standard:  If I put if-else logic in a stored procedure to execute one of two branches of code, depending on the value of a parameter, does the engine cache the latest version?  And if on the following execution, the value of the parameter changes, will it re-compile and re-cache the stored procedure, since a different branch of the code must be executed? (This query is quite expensive to compile.) Are the rings $k[[t^3,t^4,t^5]]$ and $k[[t^4,t^5,t^6]]$ Gorenstein? (Matsumura, Exercise 18.8) Here is question 18.8 of Matsumura's Commutative Ring Theory. It asks whether the rings   $k[[t^3,t^4,t^5]]$, $k[[t^4,t^5,t^6]]$   are Gorenstein. I got that 1) is not Gorenstein, but 2) is Gorenstein (by computing the socle). Just wanted to check if I am correct. I don't need the answer necessarily, a yes or a no will suffice. Thanks. Is there anything in Objective-C similar to C# yield return SQL Delete clears the table instead of erroring What is the fastest way to get from Courmayeur/Aosta to Milan? We will be crossing the Italian/French border through Mont Blanc via cable cars, which we heard through Rick Steve's article: .  We will be starting off in Chamonix and arriving in Courmayeur. What's the fastest (and relatively cost-effective) way to get to Milan from Courmayeur? Distinct digits in a combination of 6 digits I've just downloaded a CD image of Ubuntu. I know the installer has a check CD option, but how can I check that the image is good before burning it to CD? Is there a way to condition output on a given date? I'd like to be able to print text that varies depending on whether the date matches a given date string  For example  suppose there was a command   \iftoday#1#2#3   which printed #2 if \today matched the string in #1 and #3 otherwise.  So a sample of my proposed usage would be:     \iftoday{February 3, 2016}{There's no garbage today}{Please put out the garbage}    I've tried various commands like pdftexcmd's strcmp, to no avail.    I suspect the problem may have to do with matching the string generated by \today.    While on screen it appears that \today returns February 3, 2016. I can't get it to match February 3, 2016 when I compare strings.  Obviously, I'd be perfectly happy if I could get this to work by represent today's date in any of the standard date formats.  Thanks very much in advance for any suggestions.

Bounded in Probability and smaller order in probability I wanted to prove that if $X_n$ is bounded in probability and $Y_n = o_p(X_n)$, then $Y_n \rightarrow 0$ in probability   I  know the following definitions that is $X_n$ is bounded in probability meaning that   $P(|X_n|&lt;M)&gt;1-\epsilon$  and I know that $Y_n = o_p(X_n)$ implies that $Y_n/X_n \rightarrow0$ in probability Named blocks to limit variable scope: good idea? This is, how I download various master branches from GitHub, and I aim to have a prettier script (and maybe more reliable?).  wget -P ~/ https://github.com/user/repository/archive/master.zip unzip ~/master.zip mv ~/*-master ~/dir-name   Can this be shorten to one line somehow, maybe with tar and pipe?  Please address issues of downloading directly to the home directory ~/ and having a certain name for the directory (mv really needed?).
