I am using Windows 10 and would like to find logs of recent USB insertions on my desktop. Using the built in Event Viewer, where can I find these logs?
I know this sounds kind of ridiculous, but someone stole my mouse from my cubicle.. I came to work in the morning and was about to give my mouse a little shove to wake up the monitor, but it wasn't there!  I'm trying to figure out when this happened. I'm running Windows 7 and it's a USB mouse. I checked the event logs, but there doesn't seem to be any logs that might tell me what I'm looking for.  Is there any place where USB unplug events are logged?
Is cancer caused by vitamin B17 deficiency? Word for someone who repeats words I want to use the GameJolt API, how do I protect my private key which is in my game? GameJolt is a gaming platform/website that offers API access with features like achievements tracking for users, etc. I can use the API no problem on my tests but what I'm concerned about is the private key that is issued to my game. How do I ensure that it's protected from people that want to decompile my game? Once  they get the API private key, they will be able to do anything with it. Why multiplicative group $\mathbb{Z}_n^*$ is not cyclic for $n = 2^k$ and $k \ge 3$ I am trying to remove all files and subdirectories in a directory. I used rm -r to remove all files, but I want to remove all files and subdirectories, excluding the top directory itself.  For example, I have a top directory like images. It contains the files header.png, footer.png and a subdirectory.  Now I want to delete header.png, footer.png and the subdirectory, but not images.  How can I do this in linux? Proof of the Hockey-Stick Identity: $\sum\limits_{t=0}^n \binom tk = \binom{n+1}{k+1}$ There are no interfaces on which a capture can be done I co signed on a bank loan to finance the purchase of a car for my brother in Florida.

Show that computation of all such expressions will result in the same element of $X$ Shear transform a "box" Using the graphicx package, I can make any arbitrary box rotated using the \rotatebox{...}{...} command. Is there a comparable command in any package that lets me shear a box, i.e., producing a kind of general slanting? How to look up a symbol or identify a letter from a math alphabet or other character? Prove from first princibles $\frac{x^2-4}{x-4} \rightarrow -5$ as $x \rightarrow 3$ 'pyrcc5' is not recognized as an internal or external command I installed QGIS 3.0 on Windows 10. I get this error everytime i run the pyrcc4 or pyrcc5 command:  'pyrcc4' is not recognized as an internal or external command  Even if I find a place with a pyrcc4.exe file or a place with apyrcc5.bat file and add the path to the environment variables I get the same error. In the previous installation of osgeo4w i had a pyqtdev folder or something similar appear I think it was on C/. Was there supposed to be such a folder, do I need to download pyqt separately? I was given this problem 30 years ago by a coworker, posted it 15 years ago to rec.puzzles, and got a solution from Barry Wolk, but have never seen it again.  Consider the series:  $$1, \frac{1}{2},\frac{\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}}{\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}},\frac{\displaystyle\frac{\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}}{\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}}}{\displaystyle\frac{\displaystyle\frac{5}{6}}{\displaystyle\frac{7}{8}}},\cdots$$  Each fraction keeps its large bars while being put atop a similar structure. This can also be represented as $$\frac{1\cdot 4 \cdot 6 \cdot 7 \cdot\cdots}{2 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \cdot 8 \cdot\cdots}$$ terminating at $2^n$ for some $n$, where it is much closer to the limit than elsewhere.  The challenge:   Find the limit, not too hard by experiment In the last expression, find a simple, nonrecursive, expression to say whether $n$ is in the numerator or denominator Prove the limit is correct-this is the hard one. Have men and women in the Wizarding World always had relatively equal rights?

Have witches and wizards always had equal rights? I'm not quite sure how this happened, but somehow a completely empty hierarchy of directories has ended up in my repository:  com/ com/companyname/ com/companyname/blah/ com/sun/ com/sun/java/ com/sun/java/jax_rpc_ri/   I think what happened was that these directories did have files in them, but then a developer realized he/she shouldn't have checked them in in the first place since these are by-products of the build process, so he/she removed the files but somehow the empty directories are left in the repository as ancient relics.  How can I remove this from CVS? The only results I seem to be able to find on google say that there shouldn't be a need to remove empty directories as CVS won't keep them around in the first place, and that the -P (prune) options to cvs update should remove them from the working directory  - which is zero help if you actually have empty directories in your repository.  A cvs remove and cvs commit doesn't seem to take care of this situation:  $ cvs remove -Rf com cvs remove: Removing com cvs remove: Removing com/companyname cvs remove: Removing com/companyname/blah cvs remove: Removing com/sun cvs remove: Removing com/sun/java cvs remove: Removing com/sun/java/jax_rpc_ri $ cvs commit com cvs commit: Examining com cvs commit: Examining com/companyname cvs commit: Examining com/companyname/blah cvs commit: Examining com/sun cvs commit: Examining com/sun/java cvs commit: Examining com/sun/java/jax_rpc_ri $ ls -l com total 24 drwxrwxr-x  2 matt matt 4096 Oct 15 14:38 CVS drwxrwxr-x  9 matt matt 4096 Oct 15 14:38 companyname drwxrwxr-x  4 matt matt 4096 Oct 15 14:38 sun   It's still there!  Does SVN have this weird behavior too? Expectation of Exit Time of Brownian Motion from Interval I am trying to solve the following:  Let $W_t$ be a brownian motion and $a,b &gt;0.$  Define $\tau$ to be the exit time of $W_t$ from $[-a,b]$, that is $$\tau = \inf\{t \ge 0\ :\ W_{t}(\omega) \notin [-a,b]\}.$$  Show that $\tau$ is integrable and compute $\mathbb{E}(\tau)$.  I have seen this stated without proof multiple places that $\mathbb{E}(\tau)=ab.$  What is the logical argument that backs up this statement?  How are we guaranteed $\tau$ is integrable? Is it possible to add a user and restrict him to run special programs? For example after this user logs in, he can only open Firefox to use Internet and no other programs can be run by this user. For example in a terminal, commands will not be accessible when you delete some environment variables like $HOME. But is it possible to avoid running programs in a graphical shell, like Gnome? If yes, how? Make the MSE favicon grayscale (like all other meta icons are) The new  for Meta Stack Exchange looks exactly the same as the one for the  site:        This can get a bit confusing, especially if you happen to have many tabs open from both sites.  It also looks a bit silly in the site switcher menu:  All the per-site metas (and MSO, even before the MSO/MSE split) have favicons that are grayscale versions of the main site icons.  Why not do the same for MSE? Conveniently, michaelb958 already wrote a nice  to do just that (and I  it to apply to the menu too), so you can easily see for yourself how it would look.  Or just see the screenshot below:  So here's my proposal: Let's make this gray icon the official MSE favicon.  Update: The meta.SE favicon has recently been changed to a simplified outline version of the SE logo:  I'm not sure how much I like the new logo (for one thing, it doesn't seem to match the dimensions of the main SE logo), but at least it's different, which was the main point of this request. How to type en-dash and em-dash in Windows 7/8? I write blog posts, and I often need to type en-dash (–) and sometimes em-dash (—) in my blog posts. Currently I keep these characters saved in a text file, and copy-paste them whenever I need them. Unnecessary to say, it is a headache to move between keyboard and mouse when you type large texts.  It would be better for me if there ware a keyboard shortcuts available for these two characters. Is there a way to type en-dash and em-dash in Windows? I use Windows 7 and Windows 8 in different computers.    Here's an aligned comparison of dashes, if you need to see the difference for some reason.   Here's-dash Here's–en-dash Here's—em-dash
