Broken code -- UAC related? Here's the code I'm having trouble with, cut down the relevant part: protected void ProcessFiles(string[] files) { if (File.Exists(outputFilename)) throw new Exception("Output file " + outputFilename + " already exists!"); if...

Broken nose? I think I have broke my nose several times, but I'm not sure. I have several lengthy stories as to why I think so, too, but now I have a bump on the top of my nose where it looks like the bone is pushing up or something. It used to hurt but this has been several years ago, so I...

The propagator for gauge bosons in a spontaneously broken (non-abelian) gauge theory in the R_\xi gauge is (see Peskin and Schroeder eqn. 21.53) \tilde{D}^{\mu\nu}_F(k)^{ab}=\frac{-i}{k^2-M^{ab}}\left[g^{\mu\nu}-(1-\xi)\frac{k^\mu k^\nu}{k^2-\xi M^{ab}}\right]\,, where M^{ab} is the gauge...

If we take a segment of length, we can divide it in half. We can take one of the remaining halves, and we can divide it in half again. We naturally assume that this can go on forever. We assume that no matter how small a length we end up dealing with, we can always - at least conceptually -...

Hi... A group G is proken to a subgroup H. Let t_{\alpha} the generator of G and t_i the generator of H. The t_i form a subalgebra. Take the x_a to be the other indipendent generator of G. Why any finite element of G may be expressed in the form g=exp[i\xi_ax_a]exp[i\theta_i t_i] even if...

hi everyone. newbie here and i havea question that has to do with my personal experience. Today i jumped off a 50 foot cliff into deep water. the current was calm. i found this cliff at "great falls" virginia. me and a bunch of friends decided to jump off a cliff which was approxomity 50...

I'm trying to fix a problem with a computer system and I'm not sure where to go next. My office manager said that her numeric keypad wasn't working, though the keyboard was otherwise fine. I replaced her keyboard but to no effect: the new keyboard worked fine except for the numeric keypad...

[SOLVED] Broken TV Remote? My TV remote stopped working. Yes, I changed the batteries. Wondering what was going on, and staring at the infrared LED on the front of it, it suddenly occurred to me that my MacBook's built in camera is able to see infrared light (Apple even has a tip that you...

Anyone know anything about CD players? When I put a CD in mine it will read 'no disk' most of the time. On the odd occasion that it does recognise a CD it will play it as if it were very badly scratched, even if the CD looks perfect and plays fine on other players. Does anyone know what might...

"Broken" Sony Notebook I have a Sony Vaio 4E1L Notebook with a broken display. The screen itself is intact - so I assume it's a problem with the inverter or the backlight. The display is completely out of whack...is there an easy way to tell what the problem is? I've never worked on a...

So we had a typical summer lightning storm, and at one point during the storm our power went out. The problem is that after the storm we now have a light in the bathroom that doesn't work, but there is current running to that part of the house because the plugs in there still work. Now I don't...

When a bar magnet (one with Npole n the other with S pole) is broken into 2 pieces, wat poles do the pieces have? thanx

Ok so here it goes. -As you approach the speed of light, time slows down. Shown with the atomic clocks, one in the plane, one stationary. -at speed of light time would stop. -above speed of light, time would reverse. unlikely but whatever However isn't also the speed of light dependant...

my laptop fell on its power inlet with the charger plug in it and I think that something might have been broken. whatever is supposed to be at the back of the inlet, or at the end of the charger is what i think broke. My assumption is that it is the ground pin. how should I go about fixing this...

Many people like to say that certain phenomena cannot happen because of the laws of physics. Letting aside the issue of whether some phenomena are really impossible for whatever reason, I'd like to investigate the basis for the notion of immutable, absolute laws. There are three things I don't...

Hi, I've got a Hartke 3500 bass amp and the fan's broken. I need it fixed by Tuesday but I haven't got any money and the gaurruntee's expired :cry: I'm thinking a fan shouldn't be too hard to fix myself. Is this incredibly ill-advised? I know virtually nothing about how to fix stuff but I'm...

Hi all ! I have a question regarding the behaviour of an inductor upon breaking the circuit it belongs to. Now I don't know that much about electronics (I've just started formal training in this area), so I might have gotten some things wrong. If this is the case, I would appreciate...

http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/02/sha1_broken.html Panic, Chaos, Ahahahaha! Don't worry though, it is still very difficult to crack unless you have a legion of computers at your bidding. Just start thinking about moving to SHA-256.

Three related brain teasers:(I did not see them posted before) There is a mint, let's say the Denver mint. In the mint there are 100 penny making machines. In the problems below there is something wrong with one of the machines. You may produce as many coins as you would like from any of...

Quantum cryptography depends upon the notion that a sender transmits photons of known polarity, then the receiver choses random polarizations to filter the incoming transmission through. As each photon is either accepted, therefore telling the receiver that he correctly guess the sent polarity...

I've always wondered... Someone i know downloads a ridiculous amount of data from the internet. It is unbelievable how much he downloads and uploads. He owns over a hundred movies, full DVD’s, all ripped from the internet. If he was somehow caught uploading or downloading, what do you...

If a 102 foot 2500 lbs. semi rigid straight wood stick (aka bow) is placed in a vice (a really big one with no give) and loaded with energy by pulling at the top, 50 feet above the vice at a 60 degree angle to the ground with a rope ("0" lbs.), where would the stick land if the stick...

Q. While thinking about your physics homework, you drop one of your mom's dinner plates on the floor breaking it into three pieces. The second piece has a mass of 2 times the first piece and flys off perpendicular to it. These first two pieces both have a speed of 2.6 m/sec. The third piece...

I had a question. I was wondering, special relativity says that the speed of light (c) cannot be brroken by anything or any force or signal. But I had a thought last night that has been boggeling me all day. Let's say that you have a solid meter stick, made of a totaly innelastic substance. The...

Q. A rectangular bar magnet is broken in half longways. The resulting pieces are: Answer: as magnetic as the original magnet. I don't see why it isn't half as magnetic. I broke one of my fridge magnets in half, and I'm tellling you, it's only half as strong now. It can't hold the recipe up...

Has President Bush broken his oath to "Protect and Defend the Constitution of the United States" ? The Constitution (link0) clearly specifies the separation of church and state (link1-1st am), protects against unlawful searches and seizures (link-4th am), as lying to the congress (link2-false...

Why is it light bulbs always tend to break the moment when you switch them on.
