How did I unlock Roselina in Mario Kart Wii? I have unlocked Roselina a long time ago and I don't remember how. She is the only character I have ever unlocked. I don't have any Mario Galaxy save, and I don't have the mirror levels, I don't even have all of the cups. I also have no stars for anything. How did I unlock her? Does anyone know?
How do I unlock Rosalina in Mario Kart Wii? How do I unlock Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy as a playable racer in Mario Kart Wii?
How are long-term capital gains taxed if the gain pushes income into a new tax bracket? Story where radically different cultures live together and are defined by rulesets, some choose not to see each other, a house is used as a spaceship I think this novel came out in the 2000s.  There are many cultures that live close together but are very different, for example some pretend to be pre-industrial.  One of the main characters is a youth who grew up in a pretend pre-industrial society and is now exploring the rest of the solar system? ring-world?   Each culture experiences their own reality that is defined by a ruleset.  One of the rulesets becomes aggressively self-propagating and this is the problem that drives the plot.  At some point a tumbling house, just a normal house, is used to travel across space. I have a 64-bit machine that has Windows 7 32-bit and Ubuntu 32-bit installed as a dual boot setup. Can I run 64-bit software on top of these 32-bit OSes, or are they a "bottleneck" limiting the true capability of the underlying hardware? I want to make a shell alias that starts a certain program and also changes the title of the terminal to the name of the program.  How can I do that?  In case it matters, I am running the terminal on Ubuntu and connecting to a Debian server via ssh. In email applications should the text of the cover letter be stated directly in the email or be attached in a separate file? What is wrong with this chi-squared calculation? I am calculating chi-squared in R and manually, and getting two different answers. I believe that R is correct, but I am not 100% sure.  Can someone please help me understand why?  In R:  test           &lt;- matrix(c(4203, 4218, 786, 771), ncol=2) dimnames(test) &lt;- list(group = c("control","exp"), click = c("n","y")) print(test) print(Xsq      &lt;- chisq.test(test, correct=F))    This gives me $\chi^2 = 0.1712$.  If I do this by hand, however, I get $0.339$.  Here is my calculation: \begin{align} \frac{(E1 - O1)^2}{E1}     &amp;+ \frac{(E2 - O2)^2}{E2}    &amp;  \\ \frac{(4203-4218)^2}{4203} &amp;+ \frac{(771 - 786)^2}{786} &amp;= .3398 \end{align} Proof: $\cos^p (\theta) \le \cos(p\theta)$ I came across this problem when I was at a book store inside of a book made to prepare Berkeley graduates to pass a mandatory exam. I wanted to buy the book, but, alas, I didn't have the money (forty bucks is a lot of money when you don't have a job). So I took my phone out and started taking as many pictures as I could. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the solutions!  Enough backstory. Time for math. The problem is as follows:  Prove that $\cos^p( \theta) \le \cos(p \theta)$ if $0\le\theta\le\frac\pi2$ and $0\le p\le 1$.  I tried using the series expansion for cosine, but that seemed to be a dead end. Then I tried using Euler's theorem, but I got stuck. Then I got distracted and started to think about other cosine identities. For example, $$\cos\left(\frac\theta2\right)=\pm\sqrt{\frac{1+\cos(\theta)}{2}}.$$ Then what is $\cos(\frac\theta3)$ equal to? I tried to figure it out then I realized that I needed to find the root of a cubic polynomial. Then I realized that I'm better at staying focused than finding the roots of cubic polynomials.  Anyways, a proof would be nice here. I really appreciate any hints or answers. I apologize for my digressions! What is the opposite of postpone? US tourism/business visa from non-resident country The command history between sessions is not getting saved. I'm using guake and the history for the session is working fine. I noticed that .bash_history had some commands I executed in sudo -s mode and tried the same again and all the commands while in the session got saved so I tried: chmod 777 .bash_history  Now the old commands appear at the start of a session but no new commands are getting saved. How do I disable X at boot time so that the system boots in text mode? Is it possible to disable X at boot time? I'm setting up a server so it would be nice if it wouldn't load the graphical interface every time I boot. I am a first year Ph. D student, and I have been working on a new topic of research.  I worked day and night to prove something new and verified it. I began my Ph. D while my supervisor was on travel, but he returned before I had been here for long.  When he returned, he told me we have to stop and not continue without any reasonable reasons.  After a few months he began treating me poorly---always belittling and underestimating---although I got two grants from a top conference, made videos and podcasts, and constantly received praise for my good work and personality.    It seems that I have been treated as a competitor, not a collaborator.  Although agreeing with my approaches in private, my supervisor said false words to the committee to take the decision and stop my Ph. D work!  It is not surprising, as there was another former senior Ph. D student who I met on campus, who was not allowed to defend his Ph. D: this same supervisor claimed he was not able to finish his dissertation although he had published in a peer reviewed journal and having citation as well, it was scary and not familiar.  In front of committee, he lied, and said something without proving. I asked if he can make a detailed constructive criticism, but he could not.  All I can say that they are a gang literally, and he said words that show that he is jealous and doesn't want to see me having self confidence in my self. I know no one will believe me, but this is the truth.  Honestly, I am distressed and I'm losing sleep.  I had this dream where there were many people who saw me fail.  All things considered, I don't know whether what happened is good or bad, and I definitely don't know what I should do next!  I would be grateful for your advice and whether there is someone has encountered any similar situation. I am trying the fallowing exercise : Solve $P(X^2 -2)=P(X)^2 -2$ with P a monic polynomial (non-constant)  My attempt :  Let P satisfying $P(X^2-2) = (P(X))^2-2$  Then $Q(X)=P(X^2-2) = (P(X))^2-2$   Therefore,  $$Q(X^2-2) = (P(X^2-2))^2-2 = (P(X)^2-2)^2-2 = Q^2-2$$  As X is a solution, by defining the sequence:  $(P_n)_{n \geq 1}$ with $P_1 = X$ and for all $n \geq 1, P_{n+1} = P_n^2-2$  We obtain a sequence of polynomials which are solutions.   But I don't know how to prove it's the only one. If someone have an idea to prove it or an another method to solve the problem ?   Thank you in advance for your time.

So this has been an on-going saga the last few days, and I've already posted several related questions here, and I am feeling quite defeated.  I have/had a beautiful 16" cast iron dutch oven from Cabelas. I took it out for a test spin the other night (I had completed all seasoning steps that the Google Gods recommended). Then:   I tried (and failed spectacularly) to cook a pork roast in it, but cooked it at way too hot a temperature and burned/charred/fused the animal fats/juices into the oven, whereby it basically baked into the cast iron (related question ) I tried cleaning/scrubbing it with coarse-grained salt -> did nothing Then I tried cleaning it with dishwashing liquid + salt -> did nothing Then I let the whole thing soak in a vat of a 50/50 mixture of water + white vinegar -> took all the tarry slude off, stripped some seasoning off (revealing bare iron), but in 80% of the burned/charred areas, still did nothing Then I went to town on it with a steel wool and salt and dishwashing liquid and was left with some smooth, properly seasoned surfaces, and some more areas stripped down to bare metal I decided to just re-season it. So I scrubbed it one last time (about 1 hour ago) with a steel wool and some water, got all the rust and remaining crud off (finally), and built a fire. I placed it on the hot coals of the fire and let it sit there for 15 mins. My intention (whether misled or not) was to burn off all the remaining water from when I had previously washed/scrubbed it, then let it cool off, then season it with oil, and then bake it for a few hours.   So I just took the oven off the fire and opened the lid...and the entire inside is covered in rust. An hour ago there was none. When I put the oven into the fire 15 mins prior, there had been none (yes, I checked) This just came out of nowhere.  I'm ready to give up, unless anyone can offer some concrete set of steps for me that will salvage this $100 rust bucket. How can I get rid of the rust and then re-season this before more rust sets in? Meh... Two rotating discs with same angular momentum when brought in contact completely stop. Why is the angular momentum not conserved in this case? Two discs mounted on different thin, lightweight rods oriented through their centres are made to rotate about their axes seperately such that the angular momentum of the two about their respective axes is same in both magnitude and direction. When both are brought in contact, they stop due to force of friction. Why is the angular momentum not conserved about their axes in this case?(Was positive before contact, but zero after the process completes, no external force present either) How do I get started with RAW photography? Having read about the benefits of shooting in RAW as opposed to JPEG (for example ), I'd like to have a go with it myself. However, I'm not really sure how to go about it.  I can turn RAW mode on in my camera (that's easy!), but what do I do with the files when I get them on to my computer? I presume I need to process them to get the RAW data into something that I can work with, but do I need a specific tool for my camera (a Finepix S5100), or will something like the GIMP do what I want? I'm also a little confused about how I then take advantage of the abilities that RAW gives me when I'm processing it on the computer — do RAW processing tools have more processing options than standard tools?
