Ubuntu uses the information about searches to show the user ads to buy   various things from Amazon. Amazon commits many wrongs (see   ); by promoting Amazon, Canonical   contributes to them. However, the ads are not the core of the problem.   The main issue is the spying. Canonical says it does not tell Amazon   who searched for what. However, it is just as bad for Canonical to   collect your personal information as it would have been for Amazon to   collect it.         Same question has been asked here  But I don't have the tab 'search results' on my 12.04 distro. How can I disable this?   I understand that canonical uses this business plan in order to make a living and I really would help in their research as long as the data is preserved anonymously, but I really want to have control over this option, so when I search for something to buy, then enable it so I can help canonical gather this data, otherwise I would like this option disabled.   Thank you

What font is "z" in "z-score"? Can I talk to the blue alpaca? Reese's boyfriend seems to constantly be asleep. When I try and talk to him, she warns me that he's been hard at work all night, but I can't actually enter the shop at night.   Is there any way to talk to him or any benefit for doing so? I've tried to talk to him daily for a week (thinking it was something akin to talking to Sable) but I've had no luck. Trying to come in after-hours doesn't work. How do you create product mock-ups? Change icon on MATE main menu How can I change the default logo icon to a custom icon by the applications menu in Ubuntu MATE without changing the theme? Schwarz's Lemma, fixed points question This is from an old qualifying examination question.  If f is holomorphic in the unit disk $D$ and $|f(z)|&lt;1$ for all $z\in D$. Suppose also that $f$ has two distinct fixed points in $D$ then $f(z)=z$ for every $z\in D$  I know that I have to use the Schwarz's lemma and may be make use of Möbius transformations. I tried setting $g(z)=\phi_a\circ f\circ \phi_{-a}$. But that does not seem to work because I don't see why $|g(z)|=|z|$ for some non zero $z$.   Any helpful hints are greatly appreciated.  Edit: Of course the $a$ above is one of the fixed points. I'm trying to prove that if there are to numbers $n,m$ (natural numbers), and their smallest common multiple is $k$, so that $k = n·i$ and $k = m·j$ for some $i,j$ natural numbers, any common multiple $q$ of $n,m$ is a multiple of $k$, so that there exists a $g$ so that $q=k·g$.  Logically it seems correct, but I can't seem to prove it... Any help? How to host my existing website with Google Drive Google has given me 15GB of storage.

Find out which process is locking a file or folder in Windows Proof of Equivalence Relation $R=\{(a,b)\in\Bbb N^2: 5\mid (2a+3b)\}$ Given a set of natural numbers ($\Bbb N$), and the relation $R=\{(a,b)\in\Bbb N^2: 5\mid (2a+3b)\}$. Is $R$ an equivalent relation?   My answer: Yes, because $2a + 3b$ is divisible by $5$, if and only if, $2a + 3b − 5b$ is divisible by $5$.  Is my reasoning right?   If it is not, then how do I prove that this is an equivalent relation? Help! My party isn't challenged? While I've been running my campaign, I'm starting to get stumped. I am playing with a party of four, and we recently switched from 3.5 to Pathfinder, but the problem was the same in both situations.  No matter what I throw at the party, they seem to have no problems. Even if I put them up against something that is supposed to be 'Epic' or 'overwhelming' in terms of CR, they make out just fine. The one exception to this is when I had several encounters in one day that taxed them to near death. Usually I have about two encounters a day, but that day I had four encounters, with two of them being APL+1 and the other two being APL+2, and that was challenging. But other than that nothing seems to faze them!  How can I make the game more challenging without making it harder?  Just for reference, the party is fairly standard, and low level (level 4):   Wizard (tends to resort to mind-affecting spells, or grease if the creature is immune) Cleric (heals a lot, but always has spells / healing left over) Rogue (sneak attack, of course, which is more potent in Pathfinder) Fighter (gets enlarged and in-charge'd) How can I prevent my Wi-Fi connection from glitching? Occassionally my Wi-Fi goes into this weird state where the phone "thinks" I'm connected, but the connection simply doesn't work.  Apps still seem to think I have connectivity, though they can't actually connect to anything, and the status bar still shows that I'm connected to Wi-Fi.  Turning Wi-Fi off and back on resolves the issue, and this occurs on multiple networks.  It seems sort of like whatever service manages the Wi-Fi connection gets killed occasionally.  It usually happens when I've been playing a game (that doesn't access the Internet) for a while or if my phone's been sitting for a while; it never happens while I'm actively using the connection.  I have my Wi-Fi timeout set to "Never" and the normal timeout isn't the issue since my phone regularly lasts several hours without the Wi-Fi dying.  Sometimes it dies a couple times in a day, and recently I went a week or so without it happening.  How can I fix this or prevent the service from being killed (if that's indeed what's happening)?  Shouldn't that be a system process that never gets killed?  (Does Android ever kill system processes other than when they crash?)  Could it be related to TouchWiz?

How can I learn the basics of SharePoint 2013 in a few days? I have very little knowledge of SharePoint, and want to learn about SharePoint 2013.  Most of the resources that I've found are either about what's new in 2013, or they have a bunch of links to SharePoint 2010.  I also don't have the time to read a thousand page book.  A hundred or so would be fine.  Can anyone recommend a resource (site / book / video / tutorial) for a beginner to learn the basics of SharePoint 2013 in a few days?  I've downloaded a Kindle book, "Getting Started With SharePoint 2013."  It's perfect for absolute beginners, who just want to know how to upload &amp; download documents, but I'm looking for more than that. Is "Smaug" pronounced "Smog"? Did Tolkien the linguist intend for the name of the dragon Smaug to be pronounced "Smog" [IPA: /smɒɡ/ or /smɔːɡ/]? The trailer for the second installment of The Hobbit trilogy pronounces the word (pronounced 'sma-ow-g' [IPA: /smaʊɡ/]) entirely differently than the way I have been reading it for all these many years. I have a configuration file where a developer can specify a text color by passing in a string:   &lt;text value="Hello, World" color="Red"/&gt;   Rather than have a gigantic switch statement look for all of the possible colors, it'd be nice to just use the properties in the class System.Drawing.Brushes instead so internally I can say something like:   Brush color = Brushes.Black;   // Default   // later on...  this.color = (Brush)Enum.Parse(typeof(Brush), prasedValue("color"));   Except that the values in Brush/Brushes aren't enums.  So Enum.Parse gives me no joy.  Suggestions?
