I recently purchased a Pipo m8 Pro () and would like to know if i can install ubuntu for tab.   If i can, can you also advice how i should install it.   thanks,  Faazil
With the announcement of the Ubuntu Phone OS I'd like to know what phone (and tablet) models are supported at this time.  Note from foss &amp; Oli: We are making this the master question for all future "Will this work on &lt;insert random tablet/phone/device here&gt;?!" questions
Short story about a crew finding an ancient alien ship filled with tons of artifacts from their society I know that atan2 gives me the absolute angle of any vector. But it doesn't give a value from 0 to 360 degrees. Instead, it gives a value (if I'm not mistaken), between 0 and 180, or between 0 and -180. For example, instead of giving angle 270, it will say -90.  This is a little confusing for me. Let me try to describe how I think this works, and please tell me if I'm correct. Actually, I'll draw it.    Is this correct? I'm having a little trouble understanding this. Thanks My prisoners wont move from the holding to cell to the actual cell I have a cell block with 25 cells but none of my prisoners will move there from the holding cell. I have working power and water beds and toilets they are separate from each other it has all the requirements why wont it work? Any ideas? Prove that : $a_n>0$, Then, $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$ converges iff $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \sin(a_n)$ converges. I am given the problem: Let $a_n&gt;0$, prove $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$ converges if and only if $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \sin(a_n)$ converges.  We have this problem in a homework, and I don't believe it can be true. The statement being biconditional implies that when $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \sin(a_n)$ converges, so too does $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$, but if we take $a_n=\pi n$ or even $a_n=\pi$, then $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \sin(a_n)$ converges while $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n$ diverges. Is my thinking incorrect? Why are dot underscore ._ files created, and how can I avoid them? I am using different operating systems on different machines on different locations. I am using a USB flash disk to keep my files (source codes etc.).  I am new to Mac OS X and now I realize there are lots of files created with a dot underscore ._ prefix.  Questions  Why are ._ files created?   What are their purpose?   How can I avoid them? When I'm going through a whole bunch of shots to determine which to delete and which to flag, it's fastest for me to just keep both hands on the keyboard.  However, if I want to zoom in to 100% on a picture and then pan to a specific area, it seems I can only get halfway there -- 'Z' to zoom, but then I'm stuck having to pick up the mouse to pan around.  I was excited to find page-up/page-down/home/end can be used, but they seem to exist to provide an exhaustive, linear scrolling of the image, panning top-to-bottom then left-to-right, without unconstrained 2d movement.  Is there some way to toggle the arrow keys so they can pan instead of navigate to the next/prev photo?  Something else?  Or am I out of luck? Deleting self-answered question gets "Delete this answered question" warning While attempting to delete a question which was answered by myself, and with no other answers, I got the following warning:     Delete this answered question?      We do not recommend deleting questions with answers because doing so   deprives future readers of this knowledge.      Repeated deletion of answered questions can result in your account   being blocked from asking. Are you sure you wish to delete?   I understand that deleting your question when someone else has answered it is effectively nullifying the effort that person put into that answer, which is bad. But is it bad if the only answer that's deleted along with your question is your own? How can I get the values of the parameters of a calling method? Question  I'm writing some code that needs to be able to get the values of the parameters from the method that called into the class. I know how to get all the way to the ParameterInfo[] array, but I don't know how to then get the values. Is this even possible?  If it is, I think it has something to do with using the MethodBody property from the MethodInfo object, which allows you to inspect the IL stream, including properties, but I don't know how to do it, and I haven't found applicable code on Google.  Code  // Finds calling method from class that called into this one public class SomeClass {     public static void FindMethod()     {         for (int i = 1; i &lt; frameCount; i++)         {             var frame = new StackFrame(i);             var methodInfo = frame.GetMethod();             if (methodInfo.DeclaringType != this.GetType())             {                 string methodName = frame.GetMethod().Name;                 var paramInfos = methodInfo.GetParameters();                  // Now what?? How do I get the values from the paramInfos                  break;             }             else if (i == frameCount - 1)             {                 throw new TransportException("Couldn't find method name");             }         }     } } I had Windows 8 installed on my system, which I screwed up, and now I run Ubuntu 12.04. While installing, Ubuntu used all the 461 GB of HDD space (one partition).   Now I want to make a new partition of maybe 100 GB or so, in order to install Windows 7 alongside Ubuntu (with a dual-boot). But I can't even get a partition done. I can't change the partition in GParted either - the option is disabled. Would a Cup of Tea Be Hotter If you Add the Milk Before or After Boiling Water? This is a bit of dispute between work colleagues. An answer would be greatly appreciated.  My argument is as follows:  If you add X amount of milk at a temperature of M to a mug at room temperature R before adding X amount of water at temp W, the result would be a cooler cup of tea than if you'd added the hot water first. This would be due to the milk reducing the overall temperature of the mug in the time that has been in it resulting in the addition of boiling water having less of an effect and resulting in a slightly cooler cup of tea/coffee.   Conversely, if you add the hot water first, due to the mug being heated, the effect of adding the cool milk will be less and therefore the end result will be a hotter cup of tea.  My Colleagues arguement is simply that it would not make a difference but without any form of justification.   If anyone can give real scientific light to this issue it would be greatly appreciated :) Analyzing a sentence Do my analyze is correct? If don't then correct it.

How to install PostgreSQL 9.2 with PostGIS 2.0 on Ubuntu 11.10 (or higher)? What are the survival limitations of alcohol? This question was inspired by watching one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies; particularly where Jack Sparrow allegedly survives on a desert island by finding an unlimited supply of rum. I've heard alcoholic drinks dehydrate you more than hydrate you, so this seems like an unsustainable strategy.  My question is threefold.    How long can a human survive by drinking hard liquor (40% alcohol by volume) for their sole water intake (ignoring food)? If it's unsustainable, what will finally take you down? If the hard-liquor approach isn't viable, what % alcohol can keep you hydrated (beer, wine, etc.)?   Related: 1.  2. How can we unlock an iPhone backup file if we don't know the password?
