I need a Windows 7 installation file (ISO image). Microsoft no longer provides doesn't provide those for customers with an OEM installation (customer care!), but I found them on . These seem to be the originals from Microsoft, without keys, so you can't use them if you don't already have a key. (I just want to stress that this seems legal to me.)  On that site I find several version with similar names, apart from an added "u" in the name, like      en_windows_7_home_premium_with_sp1_x64_dvd_620851.iso        en_windows_7_home_premium_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_676549.iso   Does anyone know what's the difference between the ones with the "u" and the ones without?
I want to make a bootable USB thumb drive to install Windows on my computer. I don't want to use my old DVD to create an image and then upgrade to SP1, so I decided to download an untouched .iso file that already has SP1 in it. My question is this, is there a difference between these two files files?     en_windows_7_home_premium_with_sp1_x64_dvd_620851.iso   vs     en_windows_7_home_premium_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_676549.iso   What does dvd_u mean, is it somehow different from plain dvd? Also will these work with my retail Home Premium key or do these work only for thoe with TechNet/MSDN accounts?
The  specifically says not to ask  for career advice but people do it anyway.  Should I consider the Help Center outdated or only loosely enforced?    And what about a career advice site on the network?  There are 70+ sites, and most of them are for relatively narrow interests (which is not a criticism, I enjoy looking through the many sections).  A career section seems like it would be very popular.  Also, a careers section would help keep career questions off the other sites. Using ArcPy to Switch Layout Templates? Using ArcMap 10.1, since there is not a way to control portrait or landscape of the layout view through python, is there a way to switch layout templates without opening a new mxd through python?   Since there is a change layout template button it would be nice to have a python function to do the same. How can I convert a std::string to int? Evaluating a sequence of complex numbers: $|z_n - z_m| < \frac1{1+ |n-m|}$ Let $\{z_n\}$ be sequence of complex numbers such that   $$ |z_n - z_m| &lt; \frac{1}{1+ |n-m|} $$ for all $n,m$  Given this information, can we compute $\lim_{n \to \infty} z_n $?  Attempt:  For sure the sequence is bounded since the RHS is always $\leq 1 $. IF $z_m = 0$, then we have   $$ |z_n | &lt; 1 $$ for all $n$. I claim that the limit is $1$. How can I prove this ? Making some tests in Windows XP for customizing a user interface in QGIS 1.8 (see ), I have unchecked, among other options, the Settings Menu. This means that, after restarting QGIS, there's no way of recovering the older settings because there is not already a Setting Menu. So, I cannot reload any ini file.  For your information, as a precaution, previously I have saved in a folder both the original ini file, with all the options, and the customized ini file with only some options (of course, not included here the necessary Settings Menu).  Before reinstalling QGIS (version 1,8), I would like to try other smarter options if there's any. Where and what does QGIS look at where this applications starts? I looked "$\divideontimes$" up on Google and now I know that it's Unicode U+22c7 but when would it be used?  I am guessing that $5 \divideontimes 5 = 25$ and $1$...? I've got an HP Pavilion Touchsmart notebook that came with Windows 8. I've upgraded to 8.1, and now I want to dual-boot an Ubuntu distribution with Windows 10. When dual-booting with Windows 8.1, the Windows Boot Manager always took priority, even after installing GRUB. What do I need to do to get GRUB to be the default bootloader instead of Windows Boot Manager? On my work computer I have two USB hard drives that I use rarely. They have a power save mode that sends them into sleep after a couple of minutes of them being idle.   Whenever I open a context menu on a file, the drives are woken up (most likely caused by the "send to" handler).  So I eject the drive, but I can't find a way to get it back, other than unplugging and replugging it in.  Is there a way to unmount the drives, and then remount them only when I actually need them? (On Windows 7 Ultimate.) Parametric Form for a General Parabola It is well known that a parametric form of the parabola $y^2=4ax$ is $(at^2, 2at)$.      What are possible parametric forms of the general parabola   $$(Ax+Cy)^2+Dx+Ey+F=0$$   ? How would I go about finding $\prod_{n=1}^\infty (1+\frac{1}{n^2})$ ? Setting $a_k = \prod_{n=1}^k (1+\frac{1}{n^2})$, the first few partial products are $a_1 = 2$, $a_1 = 2.5$, $a_3 \approx 2.78$, $a_4 \approx 2.591$, $a_{20} \approx 3.50$, and they eventually appear to converge at around $3.639$. (These values were found with a quick python program. So much for my initial conjecture that the product converged to $e$.)   I tried writing $1+\frac{1}{n^2}$ as $\frac{n^2 + 1}{n^2}$, but it wasn't immediately obvious how to prove convergence / find the limit because the product doesn't really factor or telescope. Is there a way to calculate the limit? How to mix three different shaders on the same material? How to connect to device via SSH over direct ethernet connection List of interesting math videos / documentaries This is an offshoot of the question on . I have listed a few videos/documentaries I have seen. I would appreciate if people could add on to this list.  $1.$ Story of maths      $2.$ Dangerous Knowledge    $3.$   $4.$   $5.$ It is perhaps a bit embarrassing that while doing higher-level math, I have forgot some more fundamental concepts. I would like to ask whether the square root of a number includes both the positive and the negative square roots.  I know that for an equation $x^2 = 9$, the solution is $x = \pm 3$. But if simply given $\sqrt{9}$, does one assume that to mean only the positive root? And when simply talking about the square root of a number in general, would one be referring to both roots or just the positive one, when neither is specified? How do you get the footer to stay at the bottom of a Web page? First part :  I want to prove the following De Morgan's law :  ref.(dfeuer)  $A\setminus (B \cap C) = (A\setminus B) \cup (A\setminus C) $    Second part:  Prove that $(A\setminus B) \cup (A\setminus C) = A\setminus (B \cap C) $    Proof:  Let $y\in (A\setminus B) \cup (A\setminus C)$     $(A\setminus B) \cup (A\setminus C) = (y \in A\;  \land y \not\in  B\;) \vee (y \in A\; \land y \not\in C\;)$      $\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;= y \in A\ \land (  y \not\in B\; \vee \; y \not\in C ) $      $\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;= y \in A \land  (\lnot ( y\in B) \lor \lnot( y\in C) )$   According to De-Morgan's theorem :  $\lnot( B \land C) \Longleftrightarrow (\lnot B \lor \lnot C)$ thus     $y \in A \land (\lnot ( y\in B) \lor \lnot( y\in C) ) = y \in A \land y \not\in (B \land C)$   We can conclude that  $(A\setminus B) \cup (A\setminus C) = A\setminus (B \cap C)$ I was trying to change my username and also my home directory (/home/username) and my system started to crash. I deleted the passwd file but I had a backup named passwd_bkp. I tried to rename this passwd_bkp as passwd and it did not work. No commands were being executed... I was in a terminal window.   I restarted my system and now I cannot log in. GRUB gives two options: Linux and recovery mode.   I tried to open a sessions as root but it says the filesystem is corrupted. I cannot access my files.  Did I lose all my files? What is the best practice to make division return double in C# In c# when you want to divide the result of a method such as below, what is the best way to force it to return a double value rather than the default integer.   (int)Math.Ceiling((double)(System.DateTime.DaysInMonth(2009, 1) / 7));   As you can see I need the division to return a double so I can use the ceiling function. How do I get resolvconf to regenerate resolv.conf after I change /etc/network/interfaces? After updating /etc/network/interfaces with something very similar to below, how do I get /etc/resolv.conf to update?  I tried (as root) resolver -u, service networking restart but they didn't work. I also fixed the symlink for resolv.conf and tried resolver -u again. Finally in frustration I rebooted, which did fix the problem by rebuilding /etc/resolv.conf.  Ubuntu 12.04, 64bit server, all the latest patches installed.  Example /etc/network/interfaces:  iface eth0 inet static     address 192.168.3.3     netmask 255.255.255.0     gateway 192.168.3.1     dns-search example.com     dns-nameservers 192.168.3.45 192.168.8.10 What does the complex electric field show?
