I tried to install the nvidia driver for my card 2 or 3 times and every time it causes my Desktop, Icons  and Launch bar to disappear and I had to reinstall Ubuntu.  How can I install it correctly? And if this problem happens again how can I uninstall the driver ?
I just ordered the Nvidia GTX card. I have a dilemma, though. Should I keep using the driver which is available in "additional drivers" in Ubuntu, or should I install the driver from the Nvidia site?  So which driver is the best for me?
I often find that I can zoom in to a point, but then cannot zoom any more, even when there is a lot of room to zoom to the meshes on the scene.   This is particularly annoying in the following scenario:  I often land up left clicking on the scene and the 3D cursor shifts there. I use Shift+C to shift the 3D cursor back to the origin. However, this also centers the view on the cursor and shifts the view to show all objects, and sometimes this zooms things way out &ndash; at this point, if I try to zoom in, I can zoom in to a point (using the pinch/zoom on trackpad), but then it stops zooming in.   How do I zoom in after that? Is there anything else I am doing wrong in this case? I used to be able to color code each folder in Finder.   I know I can use tags in Mavericks, but is there a way to restore the ability to actually color code folders?  Thanks. How to create text file and insert data to that file on Android Why does pizza cheese seem hotter than the crust? When I eat hot pizza or a melted cheese sandwich, the cheese feels a lot hotter than the crust or bread: in particular, the cheese might scald the roof of my mouth. but the crust will not. Is this   my imagination, or because the crust cools a little faster than the cheese, so has already cooled a bit by the time I eat it, or because the cheese cools a little faster than the crust, so transfers heat to the roof of my mouth a bit more, or what?

The usual example of unitary ring without the  property is the ring of column finite matrices, and in this case we have $R\simeq R^2$ as (left) $R$-modules. (See also .) In particular, we have $R^2\simeq R^3$.      I wonder if there is an example of unitary ring (without the IBN property) such that $R^2\simeq R^3$, but $R\not\simeq R^2$ (as $R$-modules).

Determiners: anyone versus someone Why did Dumbledore make it less difficult to get to the Sorcerer's Stone? The Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone was removed from Gringotts to be placed under the most impenetrable of protections at Hogwarts under Dumbledore's custody. But it seems clear Dumbledore took protections which could have been impenetrable, and deliberately made them less so, such that at best they would only slightly slow down anybody trying to access the Stone, rather than just plain block them.  For example, after the Devil's Snare, you have a locked door enchanted such that it cannot be opened by any charm or other means except its own assigned key. That's a great protection, potentially an impassable barrier if the key is not available.  But the key is then left right there in front of the door in the same room.  At least the key is flying around the ceiling. But there are broomsticks right there in the same room, too.  The room with the fires front and back—that could also have been a solid defense—deadly fires that cannot be passed through unless you drink very specific potions tailored to each particular fire's properties.  Except that those potions providing safety are put right there in the same room.  At least, perhaps, they're surrounded by other bottles, some of which contain poison. With no way to know which bottle is safe, that could still almost be a solid protection.  Except that a piece of paper with a logic puzzle detailing exactly which bottles are which is put on the table with them.  Dumbledore always had reasons, and those reasons were always virtuous. What was he up to, deliberately weakening the protections in this way? Difference between $(this) and event.target? Converting GeoJSON to Shapefile using ogr2ogr?

The answer says: $$a_n=a_{n-1}+a_{n-2}$$ with the starting conditions: $$a_0=1, a_1=2$$1. why does $a_1=2$? $$$$ 2. How does this recursion was created, I understand that if $a_n$ mean all the places with no consecutive numbers so, $a_{n-1}$ come from the fact that after the first place all those places satisfy this condition, but why there is need to "look" at what happen after the two places?

The descriptions for the editing badges are:     Editor:    Strunk &amp; White:    Copy Editor:    Does "posts" include your own questions/answers, or are these badges just for edits to other people's stuff?

To mean "He is a friend of mine who I love" or "He is a friend of mine that I love", can I say "He is a friend of mine I love"? When I omit "who" or "that" in that sentence, it sounds wrong to me. I think I am not used to that structure. What do you think?  Note: I know (that) relative pronouns can be dropped like in "He is someone (that/who) I love", but in the sentence I gave, I think it is wrong to omit it because "a friend" was already modified by "of mine".  Context: I am talking about a friend, and I am saying I love him. Fixed buffers and interior buffers are not working for a polygon that contains a hole I'm following the online qgis manual available on qgis website. I'm doing the step 21.11.3. ().   To make it simple : I have a raster converted to vector, so now it is a polygon (several polygons). I'm doing an interior buffer exactly how it is described in the manual. I didn't obtain the same result. I can see the interior buffer just in some polygons, not in all of them ->    The interior buffers appear just for those polygons, that don't contain a hole. I use qgis 2.18.3.  This is how i created the interior buffer ->    In green you see the input layer : suitable_terrain, in blue the output layer, the interior buffer.   It is not a problem of a projection. I use WGS84 UTM Zone 34S where the units are in meters. I did also the Check validity and i obtain the same result.
