I have a iMac running OS 10.9.3 that has 2 monitors connected to it.  Randomly, thourhgout the day the dock will flip either to the left or right screen. Its pretty annoying.  Does anyone know what is causing this or how to fix it?
I have a larger, external monitor connected to my MacBook Pro and have arranged it such that the dock is in the external monitor (via System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement, by dragging the white bar to the larger screen). This works fine, except for the fact that every now and then, the dock will suddenly shift back to my MacBook screen, but when I open up Displays to change this back, the white bar is still on the external monitor. So I have to drag it to the smaller screen, and then drag it back to the external monitor.   It's a minor issue, obviously, but I've noticed that it has been happening more and more frequently and it's getting quite annoying. Perhaps there's something I've been doing unintentionally for this to happen?   I'm using Mavericks, 10.9.5.
Reinstall Windows 8 on a Windows 8 based system with embedded key I'm a computer technician and we started selling few Windows 8 machine. We saw the new COA label does not show the key and after reading a little bit online, realized those systems came with the key emmebeded in the eUFI BIOS.   My question is : How do I reinstall Windows 8 if the hard drive is crashed? I kind of get that you can install it with a media and the media should activate the licence embedded. What is the media required? Is a retail DVD is able to do the work or do I need a system builder kit? I understand the manufacturer is reponsible to provide media  or replace the failed drive under the warranty but what will happen when warranty expire? I'll have to sell a full windows 8 licence with a key?  Thanks I have recently imported books into Canada from Japan.  As I bought in excess of 5000¥, the purchase was tax free and the receipt was stapled to my passport and stamped.  Since I've now come back to Canada and no issues occurred with my imports, Is it safe to remove the receipts from my passport?  As it was stamped and stapled, there will remain a trace that something was there. Could this cause problems when I return to Japan at a later time? I wanted to add classpath to my JDK. While searching a way to do it I noticed everyone open .profile file using terminal. But when I want to open and edit it with a text editor I couldn't see that file in Home folder.  Can someone tell me why is this. And also if possible how can I access .profile in home folder the GUI way. When I double-click to select text in GNOME Terminal, the selection stops at spaces but continues over hyphens:      Some of my filenames contain uncommon characters such as the  and are not selectable by double-clicking:    Is there a way to make double-click selection continue over these characters as well?

Proper Installation of Kali linux tools in Ubuntu I think everyone has known - we need to install katoolin to use Kali Linux Tools on Ubuntu. Before did anything I had looked through the internet and also found out these solutions: ,   So here are my steps:  apt-get install git git clone https://github.com/LionSec/katoolin.git &amp;&amp; cp katoolin/katoolin.py /usr/bin/katoolin chmod +x  /usr/bin/katoolin sudo katoolin   Then, to add Kali Linux repositories and update them, I selected option 1 from the katoolin Menu  Then, to view the available categories and install all available tools, I selected option 2 from the main menu of katoolin and then pressed 0.   But after that I got this:    What do you want to do ?>    1) Add Kali repositories & Update  2) View Categories 3) Install classicmenu indicator 4) Install Kali menu 5) Help   kat > 2  ************************** All Categories **************************  1) Information Gathering                      8) Exploitation Tools 2) Vulnerability Analysis                     9) Forensics Tools 3) Wireless Attacks                           10) Stress Testing 4) Web Applications                           11) Password Attacks 5) Sniffing & Spoofing                        12) Reverse Engineering 6) Maintaining Access                         13) Hardware Hacking 7) Reporting Tools                            14) Extra  0) All   Select a category or press (0) to install all Kali linux tools .  Furthermore, I got an error in Software Updater - it didn't let me do anything. Ubuntu just hung up. I solved this problem by deleting kali linux repositories in katoolin and then in Software Updater.  Does anyone know how to install Kali Linux tools in Ubuntu 16.04 in a proper way?

I'm using ArcGIS for Desktop 10.3.0.4322 I have a script tool which requires a parameter (folder path to a gdB, via GetParameterAsText) so that a later process can be saved there. The thing I want to do is make an Optional Boolean parameter, that when checked, automatically fills in the folder path gdB parameter. The Boolean text asks the user, &quot;Use default workspace?&quot;, to which if they check the box (boolean == True), then the folder path parameter will be automatically defaulted (saving the user a small amount of time). I have already created the Boolean parameter in the script tool, I am however unaware of how to &quot;fill in&quot; the required parameter based on the user's Boolean. Code Snippet: # Ask user to select the Geodatabase workspace to use for data output userWorkspace = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)  # Ask user if they want to use default workspace (boolean) useDefault = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)  # If user wants default workspace, then give it to the required parameter (0) if useDefault == True:  arcpy.env.workspace = path else:  # Set workspace environment based upon user's choice  arcpy.env.workspace = userWorkspace Why does instanceof return false for some literals? &quot;foo&quot; instanceof String //=&gt; false &quot;foo&quot; instanceof Object //=&gt; false  true instanceof Boolean //=&gt; false true instanceof Object //=&gt; false false instanceof Boolean //=&gt; false false instanceof Object //=&gt; false  12.21 instanceof Number //=&gt; false /foo/ instanceof RegExp //=&gt; true  // the tests against Object really don't make sense  Array literals and Object literals match...

During the installation it divided the HDD into separate partitions. However every time I turn on the PC it goes directly into Windows 8.1. It doesn't allow you the opportunity to select which OS you want to use.   Question 1: How do I set the PC so it will allow me to select the OS?  Question 2: And if #1 isn't possible. How to I remove Ubuntu from the PC and recover the partition for Windows How can brackets be escaped in using string.Format? For example: String val = &quot;1,2,3&quot; String.Format(&quot; foo {{0}}&quot;, val);  This example doesn't throw an exception, but it outputs the string foo {0}. Is there a way to escape the brackets?
