I like Tywin Lannister a lot. Is this weird? Does anyone else like him?
It’s only weird because most people don’t have the perspective to truly appreciate Tywin.Most people don’t realize, forget or choose to ignore the fact that for TWO DECADES he essentially ran the seven kingdoms and fostered in the most peaceful and prosperous times the kingdoms had ever seen. Would someone who was only lusting for power and consumed by avarice actually care to put in the effort to manage a society to the benefit of that society for such a long time? Doesn’t add up in my view. So often do people fail to discriminate between tyranny and competency.Even on top of that, most of the people in his days had expedient marriages that were for political or economic reasons. Tywin was one of the rare few who married for love. There is a theory that the Mad King Aerys actually raped Tywin’s wife Joanna, and in fact Tyrion is the result of that. But even putting that theory aside, most people in that day in age, in that type of society would’ve done what Tywin had the impulse to do which was to kill his malformed son at birth. However, despite the fact he lost the love of his life, he overpowered this impulse and raised Tyrion as his son and never mistreated Tyrion in any real substantial way. He in fact raised him as a Lannister with all the wealth and opportunities that name afforded him.Tywin is a man who simply was doing his best to bring a little bit of order to the chaos of existence, protect his family and live as meaningful a life as he possibly could.It’s not weird to like Tywin. In fact, I would say he is vastly under-appreciated.
I have a necklace with a weird symbol can any one tell me what it is?
Unfortunately the link is coming up as a 403 error, access forbidden. Can you describe the symbol?
Weird symbol on my car's hood.?
This is simply a matter of curiosity, but also kind of a concern because both of my parents have had their cars vandalized on our parking lot: I left my car parked on our parking lot for about a week without touching it, and naturally it collected some dust. Today when I went to get a smog check I noticed this symbol drawn with a finger on my hood. Does anyone know what this is? what it may mean or who might have drawn it? is it a gang thing? I just have this uneasy feeling as if "i've been marked". hehe ...and somehow I doubt that it was the guys at the smogcheck station. they would come up with a more reasonable thing to identify a car=) here are some photos: http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s49/chronopteryx/hood_symbol.jpg http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s49/chronopteryx/hood_symbol2.jpg
There's this weird symbol that looks like a Y with an extra leg between the two diagonal lines on my keyboard. What does it mean?
So I'm trying to figure out whether my keyboard needs to be recalibrated or something. I thought it was wireless, but there's no USB associated with it. It just came with my computer and works only with it. It's been faulty recently, so I've been trying to tinker with it. Since it's not wireless I thought that it may be connected to my computer through bluetooth. There's no bluetooth symbol anywhere on my keyboard, however. I looked for a while to make sure I'm not blind and I noticed something odd. There was this symbol that I didn't recognize nor know the name of. It's clumped up with the battery and caps lock status indicators (little lights + symbols above the lights). It looks like the Norse Symbol named "Runes" (link to an image of what I'm talking about: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/4b/a4/3c/4ba43c4408a36bd2491c7897c268f006.jpg ). By the way, I'm sorry if that's against policies. If it is, i'll just delete that link from here. To describe it in words, it looks like a Y with the vertical line extending past the fork, so it looks like a road with a fork that divides into three ways instead of two ways. All three lines stop existing at the same point, however, so it looks like a cut off image. Anyways, this symbol is a mystery to me and its indicator flashes occasionally. Because I don't know whether to look up keyboard symbols or computer symbols or something else entirely, I ask you: What does it mean?
What is a regular expression to recognize the set of all strings with an even number of 0’s?
Edit: the answer below is concerned with matching strings that consist of an even number of zeros; as pointed out in the comments, the question is probably about matching strings that contain an even number of zeroes.That could be matched like this:m0020505:~ rooijsde$ cat ~/tst.txthellohell000 00 boo 0 00h n0esm0020505:~ rooijsde$ egrep '^[^0]*(0[^0]*0[^0]*)*$' ~/tst.txthellohell000h n0eswhich looks pretty awful, but works. Note that the expression catches strings that contain no zeroes too, as intended.Old answer.Theoretically,(00)*describes the set of all strings with an even number of zeros.In practice, the regex normally matches if the pattern matches any substring, which means that it would match against the string 000 or even hello since these strings contains a substring of zero zeroes, which is matched.To make sure such strings do not match, you have to include terminator symbols in your alphabet. Usually such terminator symbols are introduced by the regex implementation. For example, it is customary to use ^ to denote the start of a string and $ to denote the end. If such is the case, you can use^(00)*$to match only if the entire string consists of nothing but an even number of zeroes. If your regex implementation does not include such marker symbols, you can introduce them by hand.For example if S is the string you’re interested in, and you are certain that it does not contain a symbol M, then you can match the concatenation MSM against the regexM(00)*MHope that helps.
Does Atheism have a widely used and accepted symbol?
Actually Atheism ain't a religion. It's a lack of belief in God/deities. Atheists are from different parts of the world ,From different religious backgrounds (which they denied to believe). *The only thing in common is they don't believe in God*(among all atheists) so if you create a symbol against one particular religion. It won't represent Atheism. Because Atheism denies every religion. But if you consider a atheist community of a particular place, they may have symbols . Some are like..But still there is no world wide accepted symbol or logo for Atheism.I repeat atheism ain't a religion. It is a lack of belief in religion.KK.Image source : Google
Why does compiled files contain strange symbols?
Compiled files do not really contain "strange symbols". They contain binary values, which might be bytes, or 32-bit words, or 64-bit words - you can't easily tell without examining the source code and symbol maps. If there is embedded text in the binary code, you can usually recognize that fairly easily.If you attempt to view the file in a text editor or viewer, the editor will interpret the binary values according to the current character set - UTF-8, ISO-8859 etc. You will thus see different text depending on the character set selected. Furthermore, since UTF-8 uses escape characters, by deleting one byte from a binary file you may change the position of the escape sequence and change the representation of many successive bytes.
Computer not recognizing certain unicode text symbols even though it used to?
Have you made any changes to the fonts the system uses recently? Not all fonts contain all the Unicode characters and others use characters that are definitely non-standard. For example, OldDreadfulNo7 on my computer has characters containing a cocktail glass and something else that resembles a dead cow. At a DOS prompt type charmap or open it by going to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map and you can see all the fonts installed and the characters they contain.
What is this math symbol?
I do not recognize this, are you reviewing Math on the computer or from a book? Since Math is highly symbolic, if you do not have the font in which the symbol is displayed, they may show up as weird symbols. It's probably > or equal to, < or equal to, sigma, or something else not found on a standard keyboard. If you're reviewing from a book, I'm embarrassed to say that I have no clue.
