I have downloaded Oracle 18C XE the rpm file, but I don't know how to install the database.
I have a burning desire to install RPMs onto my Ubuntu installation - is this possible? Can I use Yum - or another RPM Package Management tool?
When should I use velocity versus addForce when dealing with player objects? Update to latest version of java after ppa is discontinued Can't understand how to draw it. PGFPlots: Understanding how to draw plots on different layers and arrange them I have gone through previous questions [,,], but I still couldn't figure out how to draw plots on different layers and change their order of drawing.  For this MWE, I would be grateful if I could figure out how to change the order of appearance of the three plots in such a way that the legend entries have the same order while keeping the plots commands/definitions in the same order as much as possible.  \RequirePackage{luatex85} \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{compat=newest}  \begin{document}  \begin{tikzpicture}     \begin{axis}[             legend style={                 at={([yshift=30pt]0.5,1)},                 anchor=north},             legend columns=-1,             xmin=0, xmax=10,             ymin=0, ymax=10,         ]         %         \addplot [red,      line width = 5pt,   domain=0:10]    {x}; \addlegendentry{$x$}            \addplot [black,    line width = 5pt,   domain=0:10]    {(x-5)^2}; \addlegendentry{$(x-5)^2$}         \addplot [yellow,   line width = 5pt,   domain=0:10]    {10-(x-5)^2}; \addlegendentry{$10-(x-5)^2$}     \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture}  \end{document} When to use Path in WPF Binding? How would I use Takeown to take ownership of all folders on one drive? I upgraded my Mega Ring and have been looking for Mega Stones, and I found . However, the Mega Stone isn't in the place it's supposed to be, and I'm sure the location is right. Why isn't my Mega Stone here? I'm downloading some images from a service that doesn't always include a content-type and doesn't provide an extension for the file I'm downloading (ugh, don't ask).  What's the best way to determine the image format in .NET?  The application that is reading these downloaded images needs to have a proper file extension or all hell breaks loose. Copying and pasting text between applications without style When pasting text, some applications (Chrome, Microsoft Office, etc.) will do what they can to re-render copied text with style, and some of those applications do not appear to offer an option to paste without style.  This results in spending lots of time removing formatting (where it is even possible) and then cleaning up the mess left behind, just to get clean text.  I want to prevent text styling from attaching itself to text that I copy and paste between applications. Is there an OS-level way to do this, i.e. one that can apply to all applications? Failing that, is there a per-application way to tell Chrome, Safari, Word etc. not to copy and/or paste with style? Is there a LaTeX/TeX preprocessor/inliner that replaces only selected macros with their definitions? Passing data between view controllers In bash, read after a pipe is not setting values Examples:        Why, I'd love to.   Why, of course!      I get the concept of starting a sentence with a word not completely related to the overall response, but this one seems to be a particularly odd choice&nbsp;— is there any semantic meaning I'm missing? How do I make sure that values from MySQL keep their type in PHP? Difference between information and knowledge? As far as I think projection of data unto subject mind is information for the subject whereas indentation or impressions accumulated owing to projection of data unto subject mind is knowledge for the subject. I want to know am I right? Or can someone provide a more rigorous answer! When I'm sneaking around, I can move more slowly and quietly by holding shift.   But walking this way is really slow. I would like to move a little bit faster, but not full speed.    On a console I imagine you have much finer control over how fast you move with the joysticks. Is there any way to accomplish this on the PC (without an external joystick)?  Perhaps there is a console command or config file setting that will change the % speed modifier that holding down shift uses? Proof that an integral domain that is a finite-dimensional $F$-vector space is in fact a field I'm reading Galois Theory by Steven H. Weintraub (second edition), and finding that I'm at least somewhat short on the prerequisites. However the following proof looks wrong to me - am I misunderstanding something, or is it actually an incorrect proof?  Lemma 2.2.3. Let $F$ be a field and $R$ an integral domain that is a finite-dimensional $F$-vector space. Then $R$ is a field. Proof. We need to show that any nonzero $r \in R$ has an inverse. Consider $\{1, r, r^2, \cdots\}$. This is an infinite set of elements of $R$, and by hypothesis $R$ is finite dimensional as an $F$-vector space, so this set is linearly dependent. Hence $\sum_{i=0}^n{c_i r^i} = 0$ for some $n$ and some $c_i \in F$ not all zero.  It then goes on to show, given the above, that we can derive an inverse for $r$. However, if I consider examples like $r = 2 \in Q[\sqrt{2}]$, $r = \sqrt{2} \in Q[\sqrt{2}]$ or $r = 2 \in Q[X]/{&lt;X^2&gt;}$, the set $\{1, r, r^2, ...\}$ doesn't look linearly dependent to me. I do believe the lemma is true (and might even be able to prove it), but this does not look like a correct proof to me. Am I missing something? [Edit] Well yes, I am. Somehow I had managed to discount the possibility of any $c_i$ being negative, despite repeatedly looking at each fragment of the quoted text in an attempt to find what I might be misunderstanding. So I had  closed within eight minutes of asking.  Is this a little fast? Not only do I object to the reason it was closed (not a real question, come on I'm asking for decent books!), but it was closed insanely fast. Should there be a grace period for questions (diamond mods exempt if so) before they can be voted on to be closed? What makes some laser beams visible and other laser beams invisible? Are there any good tools besides SeleniumRC that can fetch webpages including content post-painted by JavaScript? One major shortcoming of curl is that more and more wepages are having their main piece of content painted by a JavaScript AJAX response that occurs after the initial HTTP response. curl never picks up on this post-painted content.   So to fetch these types of webpages from the command line, I've been reduced to writing scripts in Ruby that drive the SeleniumRC to fire up a Firefox instance and then return the source HTML after these AJAX calls have completed.  It would be much better to have a leaner command line solution for this type of problem.  Does anyone know of any?
