I want to install ubuntu alongside windows 10 but my laptop specifications are: 2G RAM, 300G HHD, 2.16 GHz dual processor. Could that work!? Because my computer is somewhat limited on resources! I winder if that couldn't affect the performance.
I am going to install Ubuntu to dual boot with Windows 8 soon, but one of my friends warned me that partitioning my hard drive will slow my computer down. I run on a 500GB HDD and 8GB of ram if that helps at all. Is that true if I do it?
In terminal emulation applications, pressing CTRL + Left / Right arrows jumps from one word to the previous or next one. Is it possible to have the same functionality in a Linux console, whether it is in text or in framebuffer modes?  In my configuration, the CTRL + arrow keys are transformed into escaped character sequences and not interpreted. Finding $\int_0^\infty \frac{\cos(ax)-\cos(bx)}{x}dx$ I am practicing calculus section of GRE Math Subject test, and I can't figure out a way to do the following integral: $$\int_0^\infty \frac{\cos (ax) - \cos (bx)}{x}dx.$$  I absolutely have no clue how to do this. Can someone show me the solution explicitly? Thank you. Why does Captain Antilles in a New Hope say they're on a diplomatic mission? Why doesn't Java allow to throw a checked exception from static initialization block? Prove the map sending a matrix to it's inverse is continuous. Find all rings $R$ satisfying $\mathbb Z \subset R \subset \mathbb Z[\frac {1}{2}]$ Find all rings $R$ satisfying $\mathbb Z \subset R \subset \mathbb Z[\frac {1}{2}]$.   Solution: Let $f \in R$. Then $f= \frac {m}{2^n}$ for some integers $m,n$.  Since $2^{n-1} \in R$, hence $\frac {m}{2} \in R$. Hence one gets that $ \frac {1}{2} \in R$, so $R=\mathbb Z[\frac {1}{2}]$, so there is no ring $R$ satisfying given conditions.     What are the other possible solutions of this problem?    P.S: You can give a solution using any theorem from commutative algebra also. Suppose $k$ is a field, $A$ is a $k$-subalgebra of the polynomial ring $k[x]$. Must $A$ be a finitely generated $k$-algebra?   Thanks. Let $E$ be an empty set. Then, $\sup(E) = -\infty$ and $\inf(E)=+\infty$. I thought it is only meaningful to talk about $\inf(E)$ and $\sup(E)$ if $E$ is non-empty and bounded?   Thank you. I dual booted ubuntu 11.04/11.10 a while ago with a USB stick and i want to uninstall it.   I would like to completely uninstall the old version and get 12.04.  I have a 64 bit laptop. Please help! I'm trying to run an interactive command through paramiko.  The cmd execution tries to prompt for a password but I do not know how to supply the password through paramiko's exec_command and the execution hangs.  Is there a way to send values to the terminal if a cmd execution expects input interactively?  ssh = paramiko.SSHClient() ssh.connect(server, username=username, password=password) ssh_stdin, ssh_stdout, ssh_stderr = ssh.exec_command("psql -U factory -d factory -f /tmp/data.sql")   Does anyone know how this can addressed? Thank you. How do I create a dynamic key to be added to a JavaScript object variable , to correct a misspelled library enum in an answer. Since the edit was only one character, I also had to add a superfluous sentence to get over the character limit required to edit a post.  I've hit this problem before in other edits, always in code snippets. Since the edit limit exists to prevent trivial edits, and since there are many cases where one character code edits are not trivial (= to == etc), would it make sense to have a lower edit minimum inside code snippets? "happen to be" and "happen to have" - expressions of probability? Based on Logman dictionary:       happen to do something: if you happen to do something, you do it by chance.   for example take a look at these examples:     They happen to be unemployed at the time. I happen to have a degree in computer science.    So based on the definition of the happen to do something, first one means they are probably unemployed at the time. and the second one means I probably have a degree in computer science.     Am I right? How to mount and unmount hard drives under Windows (the unix way) I've never really thought about how the shell actually executes piped commands. I've always been told that the "stdout of one program gets piped into the stdin of another," as a way of thinking about pipes. So naturally, I thought that in the case of say, A | B, A would run first, then B gets the stdout of A, and uses the stdout of A as its input.    But I've noticed that when people search for a particular process in ps, they'd include grep -v "grep" at the end of the command to make sure that grep doesn't appear in the final output. This means that in the command ps aux | grep "bash" | grep -v "grep" it is implied that ps knew that grep was running and therefore is in the output of ps. But if ps finishes running before its output gets piped to grep, how did it know that grep was running?   flamingtoast@FTOAST-UBUNTU: ~$ ps | grep ".*" PID TTY          TIME CMD 3773 pts/0    00:00:00 bash 3784 pts/0    00:00:00 ps 3785 pts/0    00:00:00 grep Short story about a crew finding an ancient alien ship filled with tons of artifacts from their society How to solve the diffencial equation for power series $(1+x²)y'' - 6xy=0$ in $x_{0}=0$ I have tried for the power series but when suppose the solution is $y(x)=\sum _{n=0}^\infty a_nx^n$ appeared sums dependents of $a_n$,  $a_{n+2}$ and $a_{n-1}$ and this is not possible.
