Just select it and delete it then with the "delete"-button? It shouldn't cause any problems though.

Once I created that folder though it automatically disappears. I wanted to check if it still exists by creating a folder with the exact name and it still does but I can't put my mouse over it to delete it. The internet says to go through my command console and specifically delete it but if the folder won't cause any trouble then Im fine leaving it there.
 
Can't say I've ever heard of something like that happening. But deleting it through the cmd-prompt takes all of 5 minutes so I would go ahead and delete it anyway. It shouldn't do any harm but a clean desktop is a happy desktop =).
 
So, a friend just told me that it is not allowed to drink beer while driving in a car (as a passenger). Is this true? And if so, does brown bagging solve it?
Also, what are the laws in Canada pertaining this?

I'm going on a road trip through some of the states and Canada this summer and I like to drink a beer or two when not driving.

Open container laws, and no, brown bagging does not solve it.
 
I haven't been able to connect to Youtube in the last few days in any of my Apple devices (Mac/iPad), but I can easily do it in my Windows laptop.

I have no idea what causes, but this is infuriating me.

Speaking of Youtube problems - I just started getting hit with ads before the video plays in the past week or two. Sometimes they're 30 seconds long which is especially annoying when you're going through videos to find the right one you want to see (since a lot of people put stuff up there to trick you into watching a video of them talking to the camera for 10 minutes).
 
I barely function in deep water and would like to take an adult swimming class for beginners. Any thoughts on what I should look for in one, and what I should bring? (Trunks obviously, but should I take flip-flops? Anything else?)

Goggles.

This was something I was concerned about. Are goggles going to look really stupid there? Also, if I use contacts, can I use them under goggles, or do I need to get prescription goggles?

When I taught swimming lessons, nobody wore goggles. They wouldn't be necessary unless you're lap swimming which is a long way off if you're starting from zero.
 
How long would the Internet remain viable after a cataclysmic event in the world? Let's say something like Captain Tripps from The Stand occurred, and around 95% of humanity died off within a few months, accompanied by the expected collapse of infrastructure, both physical and information. How much of the Internet is automated enough to remain functional absent human maintenance? Let us assume that someone trying to access anything is in an area where electricity has remained available, whether it be from the grid or a well-prepared contingency plan. Would cellular access probably remain longer than wired?

In Fight Club, where Norton is beating himself up,
is it Tyler Durden who beats him up but from his boss' view
?
Click to expand...

Tyler Durden is the split-personality of Norton's character (who is unnamed and referred to as the "narrator").

Whenever the Narrator is doing something crazy, he is imagining that it is actually Tyler Durden who is doing it. Some people might have missed this because of the way the movie was edited but the book makes it much more obvious.

I find it pretty amusing that we're building particle accelerators that help us unravel and understand the very fabric of the universe but at the same time we don't have an explanation for such an ostensibly simple phenomenon.

We know the factors that contribute to it (laid out and then some all over the internet). It's my understanding that it's not well-studied because of the difficulty of producing consistent results... compared to the triviality of the conclusion.
 
Don't know the answer now but after the first three movies it was because he was mysterious, a bounty hunter, and looked cool. Giving him a back story kind of took away a bit of his charm.

But he completely failed at his job (kept killing the people he is supposed to be capturing), Vader was the one that caught Han and he died like a punk.
 
He had a cool outfit, and was mysterious. They wrecked that, by showing him as played by Tem Morrison, but in the 70s he was my favourite fictional character.
 
So I had never gotten a blister before but I tried a new type of shoe and then I got a blister! I thought I would tough it out and break in the shoes but eventually, the blister popped and now it seems like it is infected.

So what do you do? It doesn't sound like something serious enough to go to a doctor for and from what I've read online, these things eventually heal themselves. Right now, it's sensitive to the touch and is this greenish color. But it seems to have become drier, smaller, and darker colored over the last few days. Should I just let it heal by itself or is there anything I should do?
 
Infections can be fatal. You have to go to the doctor. One thing that can happen is you get sepsis, and die in a couple of hours.

Edit: I'm not fucking around. Infections are extremely dangerous.
 
i have yet another sql question.

so i have three tables

employee
project
and project time, a table in where i put when an employee starts and ends his involvement in his project.

project is

pid (int), project name (char(30), project beginning (date), project end (date)

project time
employeeid (references the employee table), project (references pid), beginvolvement (date), endinvolvement(date)

so how can i make sure that an employee involvement in a project can't be earlier than the particular project starts or he can't be longer part of a project than the running time of a project.


basically a check based on another table.
 
Medical GAF.

Every now and then I get this issue where my vision goes blurry for maybe 15-20 minutes. Then once it restores, I get these busting headaches. What's weird, is that it's as if the blurred vision just shuts off instantly and goes back to normal.

Any ideas?
 
What's it called in a fictional work (typically a sequel) where the author will go back and fill in the backstory of a character or event in the universe where it was sort of unnecessary for the sake of the rest of the plot..

Horrible explanation, I know. The best example I can think of is between the first and second Matrix movie, how Tank and Dozer died and then in Matrix Reloaded they apparently have a sister that was never mentioned and her husband got her dead brothers' job. How convenient!

Wouldn't just joining the tables work?

SELECT employeeid
FROM project, projecttime
WHERE projecttime.project = project.pid
AND
(
projecttime.begininvolvement < project.beginning
OR
projecttime.endinvolvement > project.end
)

This should return employees that don't check
