How can I get the disk-drive hardware ID in C# ?  I tried System.Management, but I think this is only for processor ID.  I need the hardware ID that we find in cmd by typing wmic diskdrive get serialnumber!
I'm looking to get data such as Size/Capacity, Serial No, Model No, Heads Sectors, Manufacturer and possibly SMART data.
How to reduce the number of authors above >3 to 'First Author et al., (year)'? How do you add more than one material to a mesh?   I have tried adding two materials to the object, and then assigning one of the materials to a vertex-group, but I could not find a place to assign it.  I am making a striped bouncy ball that I want to deform, so adding a different material by separating the mesh into different objects would not be ideal. Why is it true that "I before E, except after C"? Why am I still getting a password prompt with ssh with public key authentication? I'm working from the URL I found here:    My ssh client is Ubuntu 64 bit 11.10 desktop and my server is Centos 6.2 64 bit. I have followed the directions. I still get a password prompt on ssh.  I'm not sure what to do next. How to determine whether the direction of rotating a 2D vector to another one is counter-clockwise or clockwise using the cross product? Vec2 a, b; // some random vector Vec2 cross = a.Cross(b); RelativeDirection(a,b,cross); // return true if the direction of                               // rotating a to b is counter-clockwise   How do I implement the function RelativeDirection()?  I got some suedo code from the textbook:  if a.Cross(b) &gt; 0 then ... else ...   but the cross product is a vector right? how do you compare it with an integer? Why does polynomial factorization generalize to matrices I'm reading about linear algebra and I came across with the following theorem where I have a problem convincing myself:      Theorem 2.1 $\,$ Every linear operator on a finite-dimensional complex vector space has an eigenvalue.      Proof:       To show that $T$ (our linear operator on $V$) has an   eigenvalue, fix any nonzero vector $v \in V$. The vectors $v, Tv,  T^2v,..., T^nv$ cannot be linearly independent, because $V$ has   dimension $n$ and we have $n + 1$ vectors. Thus there exist complex   numbers $a_0,...,a_n$, not all $0$, such that      $$a_0v + a_1Tv + ··· + a_nT^nv = 0.$$ Make the $a$’s the coefficients   of a polynomial, which can be written in factored form as $$a_0 + a_1z  + ··· + a_nz^n = c(z − r_1)\cdots(z − r_m),$$ where $c$ is a non-zero complex number, each $r_j$ is complex, and the equation holds for all   complex $z$. We then have      $${\color{red}{ 0=(a_0I + a_1T + ··· + a_nT^n)v= c(T − r_1I)\cdots(T −  r_mI)v}},$$ which means that $T − r_j$ I is not injective for at least   one $j$. In other words, $T$ has an eigenvalue.$\;\blacksquare$   I'm having trouble with the factorized form of the matrix polynomial (in red). I understood that the factorization holds for a polynomial by the fundamental theorem of algebra but why does this also hold for matrices?  In other words, why is the the part I highlighted true? Does such an factorization always exist?    Could I have some help to see this? Thank you =)   P.S.  is my reference (page 3).  UPDATE:   Someone else also has asked the  before it seems. Can Barbarians use 2 two-handed weapons in Diablo 3? Can barbarians dual wield two-handed weapons?  My barbarian character is only a level 50 now, but I'm not sure if I can dual wield two-handed weapons at a later level or not - or is there a special skill I need?  UPDATE It is sweet, that Blizzard have finally updated Diablo 3, so that the Crusader can have a 2-handed weapon in 1 hand ( passive). It is a shame that the Crusader can't dual wield a 2-handed weapon in both hands. There are no interfaces on which a capture can be done I'm building a quick csv from a mysql table with a query like:  select DATE(date),count(date) from table group by DATE(date) order by date asc;   and just dumping them to a file in perl over a:  while(my($date,$sum) = $sth-&gt;fetchrow) {     print CSV "$date,$sum\n" }   There are date gaps in the data, though:  | 2008-08-05 |           4 |  | 2008-08-07 |          23 |    I would like to pad the data to fill in the missing days with zero-count entries to end up with:  | 2008-08-05 |           4 |  | 2008-08-06 |           0 |  | 2008-08-07 |          23 |    I slapped together a really awkward (and almost certainly buggy) workaround with an array of days-per-month and some math, but there has to be something more straightforward either on the mysql or perl side.   Any genius ideas/slaps in the face for why me am being so dumb?    I ended up going with a stored procedure which generated a temp table for the date range in question for a couple of reasons:   I know the date range I'll be looking for every time The server in question unfortunately was not one that I can install perl modules on atm, and the state of it was decrepit enough that it didn't have anything remotely Date::-y installed   The perl Date/DateTime-iterating answers were also very good, I wish I could select multiple answers! Is there a difference between "write" and "write down"? Are neutrinos affected by electromagnetic forces? I know they don't interact with matter nor any electromagnetic forces, but I know they have mass, very little mass but they have. When something has mass it must be attracted by gravity and other objects (electromagnetic) right? Ideas to improve website loading speed? Are there any ways in which I can improve the loading speed of a website?  I know that Google is really pushing loading speeds and with the popularity of mobile websites it's now imperative that sites load quickly.

How many $6$-integer subsets of $\{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 20\}$ have no consecutive integers? Adding hyperlinks to pop-up data in qgis2web? Does anyone know if it is possible to add hyperlinks to image fields etc. in the pop-up windows of Qgis2web?  I've had a look in the layers javascript file, but the image source path isn't rendered using html, so I can't simply append &lt;a href" to it.  The image is coming in via the usual method of having a field that contains the path of the image file.  I'd like to achieve linking of the image, like in the example below. Alternatively, I could just populate the 'more info' field with the URL, but if I did that I'd like to avoid just doing it by having a field that contains the entire URL, as some may be quite long (these will only be internal links). Cardinality of the set of bijective functions on $\mathbb{N}$? I'm a new blender user, but have used other modelling programs before.   I've downloaded a  and unzipped it.   When I import the obj into blender, it is my understanding (from here: ) that the mtl should just import itself with it. However, when I import the obj, I just get a grey model with no texture. Is it actually importing the mtl but I'm not seeing it? Also for the record, I have changed no settings in blender.  Picture for reference: How does the two slit experiment work? Whilst going through 'A brief history of time', I faced difficulty in understanding the . How can an individual electron cause fringes on screen? I was unable to understand it? Please explain it simply. Where was this picture taken (screensaver on LG Oled TV)? Can someone please tell me where this picture was taken? What's amazing about these open world games is the freedom I have as a player. If I don't want to follow the main story line for a while, and just explore, I can do that, and the game won't break.  On the other hand I don't particularly like the feeling of having made a significant, bad choice in the game, among the lines of Yeah, that dialog option you selected hours ago? This amazing quest line is now off limits.  If I recall correctly, in Morrowind, I had to progress through a few different guilds' quests in the right order, otherwise it'd have stopped my progress in a few guilds.  As a Skyrim example, it doesn't appear that the very first choice made in Helgen at the very beginning has much significance. If someone told me It's not that significant, you still get to choose sides (or, rather not told me "This is important"), that'd help.  Another example: Based on a question I read here, I should probably make sure that I don't throw away any of the dragon priest masks and need to make sure to collect one during a specific quest. This would be relevant for this topic if I could easily miss it otherwise while doing that question.  This includes accidental problems possibly caused by bugs: It appears .  It doesn't matter too much which of the love triangle guys in Riverwood I support: That's not nearly significant enough.    Are there non-obvious, hidden decision points in the quests and story lines? When playing in a certain area, doing a certain quest, what do I need to make sure to do or not do, to not accidentally prevent me from getting or achieving something significant?  I still want to explore on my own, but want to be aware of which choices are important.  This is somewhat related to .
