What is a name variant ?

FAQ
Database applications that involve the storing and searching for personal data often need to allow for a degree of variation in the spelling of both surnames and forenames. Variations can be introduced into database applications as a result of typographical errors where letters are interchanged (e.g. Nobel and Noble), letters are substituted (e.g. Stevens and Stephens), letters are added (e.g. Colins and Collins) or removed (e.g. Clarke and Clark).

What are prions (in relation to variant CJD)?

Frequently Asked Questions about Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob D...
The agent that causes variant CJD is believed to be an abnormal form of a protein, known as a prion. Prions are normal cellular proteins that are present in many organs and tissues, including the brain, spinal cord and eyes of healthy humans and animals. The abnormal form of prion causes surrounding proteins to change their shape. The abnormal protein collects in central nervous tissue and by an unknown mechanism causes the nerve cells to die.

Are Generics Covariant, Contra-Variant, or Invariant?

Generics FAQ: Fundamentals
Generic types are not covariant. Meaning, you cannot substitute a generic type with a specific type argument, with another generic type that uses a type argument that is the base type for the first type argument. For example, the following statement does not compile: class MyBaseClass {} class MySubClass : MyBaseClass {} class MyClass<T> {} //Will not compile MyClass<MyBaseClass> obj = new MyClass<MySubClass>(); Public Class MyBaseClass ..

What is a variant data type?

Excel 95 Developer FAQ: Part 1
A variant data type is unique to VBA. Variables that aren't specifically declared are assigned as a variant type, and VBA automatically converts the data to the proper type when it's used. This is particularly useful when getting values from a worksheet cell when you don't know in advance what the cell contains. Generally, it's a good idea to specifically declare your variables (using the Dim statement) because using variants is quite a bit slower.

Why didn't these variant planets band together?

Rogue FAQ
Being from different dimensions, the planets cannot easily coexist side by side without risking dimensional collapse. The demon knows this and has used the remainder of her power to keep the different Earths wrapped in a giant field of their individual frequencies, thus they cannot detect or interact with each other naturally, nor are they truly in the same place. In this way she is able to hold them in a singular spot, while at the same time keeping them far apart.

What makes you think your variant is SX?

The Enneagram Institute Discussion Board - Q&As for SX Varia...
I thought I was SP for a long time, and I do think that's not far behind the SX for me. I could even describe it as when SX is not satisfied, SP becomes the concern. I still have an open mind that I might have it wrong, but some stuff that Jase & John wrote and some experiences at a seminar make me pretty sure of it. What I think is the real definer for me is that I want intense relationship. I want to lock on & focus and am always looking for the juice in others.
