Does 64 Bit AMD Works on intell core 2 duo?
I was told that computers with more than 2 gig's memory need a 64 bit operating system to utilize all RAM.  Is the 64bit Ubuntu download really JUST for AMD processors? I am asking because the disk image I downloaded says AMD64.  So will my new Intel 2.3Ghz Core i3 Dual Core processor work with 64 bit Ubuntu?  It runs the 64bit version of Windows without any qualm.
App Store is stuck in a loop trying to download a free app -- how do I make it stop? My App Store keeps saying this item is free in the store, that this item will be added to your purchases and it then says cancel or download.   I click download and it won't download and keeps popping up the same message over and over again.  How do I make it stop? I can't download any apps. My Déjà Dup backups have become quiet large and I noticed they contain a huge number of unnecessary files (e.g. *.pyc files, **__pycache__ folders and other build related temporary stuff).   I know that I can ignore specific folders, but is there a way to exclude files and or folders by patterns?  I thought there might be more options usable trough a configuration file, but Déjà Dup doesn't use one. So I looked at duplicity (the CLI it is based on), but the man page doesn't mention a configuration file either. I know that duplicity can ignore files and folders based on patterns (--exclude, --exclude-filelist), but I have no idea how to combine this with Déjà Dup.  Do I have to ditch Déjà Dup and use duplicity manually? Or is there a way to set the needed options, so that they are used automatically, when duplicity is used by Déjà Dup?

Downloading all photos from iCloud Photo Library without Photos app I want to start a modal operator by clicking a button in a panel in the properties region. It should then stop when I click somewhere in the 3D viewport. I want to execute some code when I start and finish the operator (see the code below). I tried modifiyng the modal operator template with an execute method to start the modal operator. But the now the context.space_data.type is always &quot;PROPERTIES&quot; because that's where the panel is located, I guess. Is this a bad way of doing what I want? class MY_OPERATOR_OT_click_on_3dview(bpy.types.Operator):          bl_idname = &quot;mesh.click_on_3dview&quot;     bl_label = &quot;Click on 3D&quot;      def modal(self, context, event):                  if context.space_data.type != 'VIEW_3D':             return {'PASS_THROUGH'}                  if event.type in {'MIDDLEMOUSE', 'WHEELUPMOUSE', 'WHEELDOWNMOUSE'}:             # allow navigation             return {'PASS_THROUGH'}         elif event.type == 'LEFTMOUSE':             # DO ALL THE POST-SELECT STUFF             return {'FINISHED'}         elif event.type in {'RIGHTMOUSE', 'ESC'}:             return {'CANCELLED'}          return {'RUNNING_MODAL'}      def execute(self, context):         # DO ALL THE SETUP STUFF           context.window_manager.modal_handler_add(self)              return {'RUNNING_MODAL'}            def cancel(self, context):         print(&quot;CANCEL???&quot;) Obtaining client IP address in WCF 3.0 Reload the page on hitting back button How is it possible for the Root Name Servers to handle all DNS requests? I was reading about DNS some days ago and learned how the requests are processed. If you surf to www.example.com, then a request will go to the Root Name Servers to see who owns that .com address, then another request will go to another, more local, DNS server to see who owns the example.com address and so on.  How is it technically possible that the 13 Root Name Servers can handle all requests done by earth's billions of Internet users simultaneosly without beeing ddos:ed?

I've got a project where I'm looking to tweak the standard lead conversion process.   Triggers and lead conversion has always been funky in past projects so I was hoping to start the design off by reviewing the order of execution, but after a long google search I'm coming up empty handed.   Anyone out there know the specific trigger order for lead conversion?    Edit: I'm not asking about trigger execution order for any object, but all the objects created in the lead conversion process.  I'd think it would be something like this:        Lead Before Update Triggers (isConverted = false, convertedAccountId = null, convertContactId = null, convertedOpportunityId = null)         Account Before Insert Triggers (not fired if merged with existing account)   Account After Insert Triggers (not fired if merged with existing account)   Contact Before Insert Triggers (not fired if merged with existing contact)   Contact After Insert Triggers (not fired if merged with existing contact)   Opportunity Before Insert Triggers (not fired if no opportunity) (OpportunityContactRoles null)   Opportunity After Insert Triggers (not fired if no opportunity) (OpportunityContactRoles = convertedContactId)   Lead After Update Triggers (isConverted = true, convertedAccountId = XXX, convertedContactId = XXX, convertedOpportunityId = XXX) Newton's cradle Why, when one releases 2 balls in , two balls on the opposite side bounce out at approximately the same speed as the 1st pair, rather than one ball at higher speed, or 3 balls at lower speed? Storing Images in DB - Yea or Nay? So I'm using an app that stores images heavily in the DB. What's your outlook on this? I'm more of a type to store the location in the filesystem, than store it directly in the DB.  What do you think are the pros/cons? Highlight elements in the matrix
