I have been for long looking for some software apps which can help me draw various mathematical and geometrical figures and drawings.Can someone please tell me something about these which will run on Windows or Android ?
What software do you use to accurately draw geometry diagrams?
I have got a template class as follows:  class MyClass&lt;T&gt; {     T field;     public void myMethod()     {        field = new T(); // gives compiler error     } }   How do I create a new instance of T in my class? I recently installed Ubuntu Server edition 13.10 (Saucy Salamander). But I have run into a bit of problem. At the end of the installation, it asks about several extra packages whether you want them or not, like OpenSSH server and virtual machine host. Here's what I'm looking at:  Now, my problem is that I can't remember if I have checked the &quot;virtual machine host&quot; checkbox. How do I check if my server has the corresponding packages? What packages come with the virtual machine host? Is there a Google Drive client available? I'd like to install a  client for Xubuntu (12.04).  I'm getting non-English Google results, and I didn't find  in the Xubuntu repositories.   Does anyone know of a client that works well for Ubuntu or it's supported derivates (or installation instructions for grive?) If the original question is "What time is it?" and I want to communicate it to another person, are these Embedded Questions OK?        I don't know what time is it.       or        I didn't know what time was it. (if communicated later) "Failed to create user" due to regular expression error I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 desktop 32 bit. Currently I have only a user, type administrator. I'd like to create another administrator user but I keep getting the following error:  Failed to create user GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.Accounts.Error.Failed: running '/usr/sbin/adduser' failed: /usr/sbin/adduser returned an error (1): adduser: Please enter a username matching the regular expression configured via the NAME_REGEX[_SYSTEM] configuration variable.  Use the `--force-badname' option to relax this check or reconfigure NAME_REGEX.  Any suggestion is appreciated. How do I fill arrays in Java? I know how to do it normally, but I could swear that you could fill out out like a[0] = {0,0,0,0}; How do you do it that way? I did try Google, but I didn't get anything helpful. Polynomial in $n$ variables I need help to find the Galois Group of $x^5 +1$. I know that it has a 5-cycle and a 4 cycle and is not a subgroup of $A_5$. Thanks! I once learnt, that it is uncool to use $$, but why is that? Why does \[ not act as a abbreviation to \begin{align}? I noticed, that there is a difference, since one cannot use &amp; and \\ inside a block started with \[. When is the product of $n$ subgroups a subgroup? Using FFmpeg and IPython Is better healthcare a bane to the long-term survival of the human race? The theory of natural selection has it that individuals with better genes tend to survive and reproduce, passing their genes to their offspring. This gradual process results in a population more adapted at survival. However, due to the advancement in medical science, humans with poorer genes tend to survive and reproduce just as well.  For example, in the past, many people, excluding those with natural immunity due to some genetic mutations, would have succumbed to illnesses such as malaria and typhoid. But with better hygiene and medical treatment, these patients tend to survive.  Now, imagine a future where all illnesses including cancer can be treated. How would it impact the survival of the human race? Would we become more and more vulnerable such that our survival hinges heavily on medical technology, analogous to how an astronaut's survival is dependent on his spacesuit? What do you call the feeling you get when you're satisfied to the point of nausea? So you're craving something, say a particular chocolate or sex with one very attractive person that you desire. Take the sexual encounter one for example. You sleep with the person so many times until you are fulfilled. But it gets somewhat "nauseating" to enjoy that thing again (the sex or the chocolate) because you've overindulged earlier.   Now what is that feeling called, the feeling of being overly "satisfied" or "quenched" to the point of nausea?  I wouldn't say what I'm looking for is satisfaction or quench. Is there a more specific term?  Example sentence:     "I've been eating T-bone steak all day yesterday. I had leftovers today, but I couldn't eat them - I'm just so ____ towards (or from) steak right now." Multivariate polynomial with no mixed terms Is there a standard name for multivariate polynomials wherein each term consists of only one coordinate? That is, polynomials of this form: $$p(x_1, \ldots, x_n)= \sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^n a_{i,j}x_i^{j}$$ where all of the $a_{i,j}$ are constants. Copying unicode symbols from Firefox address bar as is Let's say I open a webpage with some Unicode characters, say, Cyrillic, in the address like this:        When I try to copy it from the address bar somewhere else, it becomes unreadable rubbish:        I guess this is for compatibility. However for readability I want to copy it straight away with proper Unicode characters.  What and how should I tweak to make that possible?  Edit: The answers are good, but they are hacky. Are there any settings in about:config? The Feeds bot’s translate command is no longer working for moderators (Disclaimer: I've read the  and I do understand that this is bordering on off-topic since it's about consumer devices. However I hope that I've managed to make enough on-topic by asking about why it is the way it is, and what is the explanation from an electromagnetic point of view - in other words, what laws of electricity and what practical considerations have gone into these decisions).  I recently bought a power tool and in its manual I found a few peculiar safety rules. I cannot see why they would be there, although reading up more it seems that they are commonplace. My understanding of electricity is limited (just about enough to be dangerous), so I'm hoping to expand it. :)  The rules are:   Don't use an extension cord longer than 25m. Considering this is an outdoors tool, this limitation is severely restrictive. The best explanation I've seen is that longer cables would simply have too high of a resistance and the tool wouldn't be able to operate at full power. But this argument doesn't convince me. The tool is rated at 2.4kW, and it's meant to be used with 220V AC power source, which means it uses about 11 amps of current. All the extension cords I've ever come across have at least 16A limitation, so there is quite a reserve still. In addition, the power has to travel much, much further to get to my house, and even after the meter it still takes probably close to those same 25m to get to the power outlet. Why only 25m after the outlet? The resistance of the cables isn't that big, is it? Don't daisy-chain extension cords. I suspect this is a variation of the above - don't exceed 25m; every connection adds additional contact resistance; water in the outdoors connections can be a problem - in general, it just adds risk. However, apart from the water in the contacts, the rest seems to me to be practically negligible. Is there really a significant contact resistance? Assuming that the extension cords are in a good shape. Make sure that the power cord is entirely unrolled. This is another odd one. My suspicion is that it has to do with inductive resistance. But is it really that strong? Wherever I've seen people actually wanting to create an electromagnet, it's pretty much hard work. You need a lot of neat, tightly-wound loops of wire. An extension cord has a lot of insulator around it, spacing the wires pretty far apart, and the loops are very chaotic. In addition, if that was a problem, why do  exist? They're used especially when you need a very long extension cord, and you don't need to unroll them completely every time you want to use them. Solved: OK, I was off the mark. The correct answer (also a ) has to do with the wire heating up from being used close to its limits. When coiled together, the temperature can go pretty high and melt the cables. Not fun. What's the meaning of the term "gib"? Especially while talking about FPS, the term "gib" is quite common. While I get it's related to a sudden and gruesome death, I'd like to know its actual meaning and where it comes from. Finite groups with exactly one maximal subgroup I was recently reading a proof in which the following property is used (and left as an exercise that I could not prove so far). Here is exactly how it is stated.     Let $G$ be a finite group. Suppose it has exactly one maximal subgroup. Then $G$ is cyclic.   Now, does this mean exactly one conjugacy class of maximal subgroups? If it really means exactly one maximal subgroup, then what can we say about a finite group that possesses exactly one class of (at least two) maximal subgroups that are all conjugate to each other? Is there a way to save composite node presets? Is there any way in Blender to save settings in your compositing node setup. For example say for my shadow catcher I have it setup for a hard shadow for sunlight, and then I also have a setting for diffuse light shadow for indoors. Is there any way I can save these settings individually so I can quickly switch to them rather than having to individually change the nodes every time.
