How to remove ubuntu 14.04 dual boot with windows 7 ?
I have absolutely no experience with Linux, and I desperately need to get my computer back up and running again with Windows.  How do I remove Ubuntu and reinstall Windows?    Editor's note: many of the answers are about removing Ubuntu from dual-boot but keeping Windows (which is a bit complicated), while other answers are about removing Ubuntu from single-boot (which is easy: basically just format the disk while installing Windows). The question as written is ambiguous between dual-boot or single-boot.
How does the linux kernel know device major and minor numbers? As far as I know, the kernel detects hardware, adds information to sysfs creates a device in /dev and then generates a udev event. My question is, do device drivers do all of this or it is the kernel itself? If drivers do it, then they would know the device major and minor number to create the file in devtmps.   I also understand (maybe wrongly) that it is udev who calls modprobe to load the drivers that handle a device.   I was told that they do so with the contents of the MODALIAS uevent environment variable, thus loading all modules whose aliases match this string (the correct driver). In short: what are the steps of hardware detection in linux and WHO performs each step: the kernel itself, the driver inside the kernel or udev in userspace. Thanks. Correlation between a nominal (IV) and a continuous (DV) variable I have a nominal variable (different topics of conversation, coded as topic0=0 etc) and a number of scale variables (DV) such as the length of a conversation.   How can I derive correlations between the nominal and scale variables?

I have a setup where my users log on using ldap and it works just fine.  I want to run a script after my users login (its a script that will detect which groups they are in and map network shares accordingly), and after they logout (umounting their shares).  Both scripts are done and they work.  I want that when the user logs in the box a script runs downloading the mounting script from my server (wget i guess?) and runs it, same thing for logout.  Can it be done? I've been searching the net and had no luck so far. I've managed to make that work on shell login/logout, but my users dont even know what shell is and have no use for it :) Why must fermions be antisymmetric? I have read that fermions cannot exist in the same state simultaneously. I understand why indistinguishable particles with an antisymmetric superposition of states can't exist in the same state simultaneously, but why must fermions have an antisymmetric superposition of states?  The only characterising property I know of fermions having besides antisymmetry is spin, for which they have half-integer. I understand that this is the case simply because particles with half-integer spin and particles with zero or integer spin were defined as fermions and bosons respectively.  My perusal of the Wikipedia page on the  leaves me under the impression that spin has nothing to do with the wavefunction's symmetry properties:     Naively, neither has anything to do with the spin, which determines the rotation properties of the particles, not the exchange properties.   Are antisymmetric wavefunctions simply classified as fermions, in the way half-integer spin particles were? I don't see how this could be the case, as, if spin and symmetry were independent, half-integer spin particles with symmetric wavefunctions (and antisymmetric integer spin particles) would be possible.

Did Sam's memories transfer to the displacee when he leaped? In the TV show Quantum Leap Sam Beckett would travel history and "right" wrongs, temporarily displacing someone native to that timeline in the process. Would the memories of what Sam did transfer to the person he displaced upon his leaping out, or would they wind up with amnesia for the time Sam was there? Taking a spin off of this question:  in a new direction for 2014.  Taking into account a basic Windows infrastructure:   domain controllers Exchange 2007/2010/2013 Sharepoint SQL File Servers / Print Servers AD Integrated DNS AD authenticated 3rd party devices (let's say 802.1X for networking and maybe some content-filtering, etc.) AD/LDAP authenticated "administrative" functions on IT apps/hardware/etc. perhaps some KMS stuff throw in a CA if you'd like home grown apps 3rd party in-house apps   Now, let's rip it all out and decide we are going to the cloud.  We've contracted to move Exchange/Sharepoint/File Services to Office 365.  SQL will now be hosted as well on  something like Azure.  We've gotten away from the need for AD-DNS and simply run everything via a simple Windows DNS server.  We still need 802.1X and would like SSO if possible to our various cloud apps.  Home grown and 3rd party in-house apps would likely stay, but have the ability to use internal user databases instead of AD authentication  The question is...do we really need Active Directory at all?  Or more to the point, AD on-premise or even hosted via Azure or similar (ADFS) or running ADDS on a hosted VM through Azure or similar.  Could/Should we look to something else like a 3rd party SSO option such as  or similar that can provide SSO functionality even if it is as simple as LastPass or similar for each user?  What kind of legitimate needs does AD fulfill if everything else in the cloud?  Could a MS-centric infrastructure get away with not having AD at all if they move everything that previously relied on AD to SaaS offerings that didn't rely on AD authentication?

I want to completely remove feeds from WordPress. I am using this little function from    /** * disable feed */ function fb_disable_feed() { wp_die( __('No feed available,please visit our &lt;a href="'. get_bloginfo('url') .'"&gt;homepage&lt;/a&gt;!') ); } add_action('do_feed', 'fb_disable_feed', 1); add_action('do_feed_rdf', 'fb_disable_feed', 1); add_action('do_feed_rss', 'fb_disable_feed', 1); add_action('do_feed_rss2', 'fb_disable_feed', 1); add_action('do_feed_atom', 'fb_disable_feed', 1);   Still there is tons of transient options.. like _transient_feed_mod or _transient_timeout_feed_mod  How can i completely remove feeds from WordPress? ref to subsection number only is there a way to reference the subsection part only? Example:  \documentclass{article} \begin{document}  \section{This is my section} For further information see subsection \ref{subsecthree} within this section. \subsection{One} \subsection{Two} \subsection{Three}\label{subsecthree}  \end{document}   Usually gives (without the stars):  1 This is my section For further information see subsection **1.3** within this section.   But I want:  1 This is my section For further information see subsection **3** within this section.   Is that possible?  [Edit] To make it more clear: I am looking for a command that works like \ref, but prints (the arabic number of) the value of the subsection counter at the position of the \label.  ======================= == Solution in LaTeX ==  There is another solution below. This is a different solution I came up with  (I cannot post an answer to my own question, so I put it here):  \documentclass{article}  \newcommand{\labelsubseccounter}[1]{     \renewcommand\thesubsection{\arabic{subsection}}     \addtocounter{subsection}{-1}     \refstepcounter{subsection}     \label{#1}     \renewcommand\thesubsection{\thesection.\arabic{subsection}} }  \begin{document}  \section{This is my section} For further information see subsection \ref{subsecthree} within this section,  which is called \ref{onepointthree}, not \ref{onepointfour}. \subsection{One} \subsection{Two} \subsection{Three}\label{onepointthree}\labelsubseccounter{subsecthree} \subsection{Four}\label{onepointfour}  \end{document}   (I would like to insert the compiled code, but don't know how, sorry) I've working LDAP authentication with the following setup   AuthName            "whatever"  AuthType            Basic  AuthBasicProvider   ldap  AuthLDAPUrl         "ldap://server/OU=SBSUsers,OU=Users,OU=MyBusiness,DC=company,DC=local?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass=*)"  Require ldap-group  CN=MySpecificGroup,OU=Security Groups,OU=MyBusiness,DC=company,DC=local   This works, however I've to put all users I want to authenticate into MySpecificGroup. But on LDAP server I've configured that MySpecificGroup also contains the group MyOtherGroup with another list of users.  But those users in MyOtherGroup are not authenticated, I've to manually add them all to MySpecificGroup and basically can't use the nested grouping. I'm using Windows SBS 2003.  Is there a way to configure Apache LDAP to do this? Or is there a problem with possible infinite recursion and thus not allowed? The selection toggle arrows in the Outliner disappeared. Is there some preference in the settings that has to be turned on? 408 Request Time-outs still continues I'm frequently getting 408 Request Time-out errors  when browsing through Stack Overflow and Meta. I used to get this four or five times a day before, but now it has become very frequent. I've read  in which Kyle Brandt ♦ says:     We send our web logs to SQL so we can query them. It turns out that we have a bug that prevents 408s from being logged to SQL. [...] I will do more extensive research when our 408s are part of queryable logs (should be a week or two [...]).   My internet connection is somewhat stable and I haven't experienced this issue on other sites before. I don't think it's a browser-specific issue as it is reproducible on latest versions of Google Chrome and Firefox (on Ubuntu 13.10). However, it is specific to Stack Overflow and Meta. I'm unable to reproduce this on other SE sites.  Am I the only one facing this issue? Could it be something wrong with the regional CDN or something like that? Could someone please take a look at this issue? ()  This appears when I try to close-vote questions, too: How to update Ubuntu terminal? How to update Ubuntu terminal?
