Dual Monitors options? i really like Bleander 3d currently i use Autodesk Smoke to do my postwork but im thinking of going full blender. though the windows tend to get cluttered i would love to see the gui have a dual screen option if it already does could someone inform me on how to activate it. thanks
Is it possible to make the default scene fill two monitors at startup? I know how to set up the default scene by pressing Ctrl+U, but whenever I startup Blender it always fills only one of my screens, even if I set it to fill both before setting the default scene. I end up having to resize it every time I start it up. Is there a way to set this to happen by default?
In a table of contents that has been generated with LaTeX's \tableofcontents command, I would like to add a vertical space before a Chapter item in the table of contents. One way that I have in my notes is to use  \addtocontents{toc}{\protect\vspace{10pt}}   at a desired location in the document so that this gets processed by \tableofcontents to include an appropriate vertical space in the table of contents. I have two questions:   Is the above the correct way to get a vertical space in a table of contents? Why is it necessary to use the \protect command here?   Thank you... A movie about artificial intelligence gone rogue While I understand the intuition behind expectation, I don't really understand the meaning of variance and moment.   What is a good way to think of those two terms? What's the best way to convert a string to an enumeration value in C#? I have an HTML select tag containing the values of an enumeration. When the page is posted, I want to pick up the value (which will be in the form of a string) and convert it to the corresponding enumeration value. In an ideal world, I could do something like this: StatusEnum MyStatus = StatusEnum.Parse(&quot;Active&quot;);  but that isn't a valid code. I want to load the new entries without reloading the page. I found a great solution for: The ajax script:  &lt;script&gt;     $(document).ready(function() {     var refreshId = setInterval(function()     {         $('#content').fadeOut("fast").load('http://neocsatblog.mblx.hu/new.php').fadeIn("fast");     }, 10000);      }); &lt;/script&gt;   And the php:  &lt;?php require_once("wp-blog-header.php"); ?&gt; &lt;div id="content" &lt;?php cyberchimps_filter_content_class(); ?&gt;&gt;          &lt;?php do_action( 'cyberchimps_before_content'); ?&gt;          &lt;?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?&gt;              &lt;?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?&gt;                  &lt;?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?&gt;              &lt;?php endwhile; ?&gt;          &lt;?php elseif ( current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) ) : ?&gt;              &lt;?php get_template_part( 'no-results', 'index' ); ?&gt;          &lt;?php endif; ?&gt;          &lt;?php do_action( 'cyberchimps_after_content'); ?&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;   However, this is a special feature that works perfectly here:  However, the main page refuses to load new entries, I do not understand the reason for this, as we use everything the same. I am building a blog type page, and I want to load items into the page as the user scrolls down, much like Google Reader, or Soup.io. How would you go about achieving this effect? I've seen some examples which read the height of the page, and have an onScroll even attached to the window so that as the user scrolls down we can test to see if they've scrolled down far enough to warrant loading more items. Soup.io's implementation seems to remove the old items as you scroll down so that the browser isn't dealing with an ever-increasingly large DOM tree. Which javascript libraries would be best suited to this task?

On Ubuntu 14.04.5 I just upgraded firefox to version 50.0; now there is a message on some pages which reads:   libavcodec may be vulnerable or is not supported, and should be updated to play videos   So how can I update libavcodec?  A simple   sudo apt-get install libavcodec   gives the following output:  Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package libavcodec   So maybe I don't have libavcodec installed in the first place? So why do I get this message...? Two circles intersection Could you tell what are all the four points in following? Two circles intersect at two points maximum when we want to draw intersecting circles.

Forgotten PostgreSQL Windows password The top bar is showing (again) the suggested edits count and 10K flags count, like it was before.  On Stack Overflow it looks like this: (that's the original color, same as in old top bar)        And on this very Meta site:        Same top bar. But different colors! Consistency broken.  I've just noticed the suggested edits count on Meta:        Black on black, I can see just a floating number - really confusing and out of any context.  In the name of Consistency, can we please have the same color on all sites? Sometimes it takes too long for the network manager to update to see new wireless AP. Is it possible to change the time interval between checks? How to get distance when acceleration is not constant? I have a background in calculus but don't really know anything about physics.  Forgive me if this is a really basic question.  The equation for distance of an accelerating object with constant acceleration is:  $$d=ut        +\frac{1}{2}at^2$$  which can also be expressed  $$d=\frac{\mathrm{d}x}{\mathrm{d}t}t+\frac{\mathrm{d^2}x}{\mathrm{d}t^2}\frac{t^2}{2}$$  (where x(t) is the position of the object at time t)  That's fine for a canonball or something like that, but what about a car accelerating from 0 to cruising speed?  The acceleration is obviously not constant, but what about the change in acceleration?  Is it constant?  I suspect not.  And then what about the change in the change of acceleration, etc. etc.?  In other words, how does one know how many additional terms to add in the series?  $$d=\frac{\mathrm{d}x}{\mathrm{d}t}t+\frac{\mathrm{d^2}x}{\mathrm{d}t^2}\frac{t^2}{2}+\frac{\mathrm{d^3}x}{\mathrm{d}t^3}\frac{t^3}{3}+\frac{\mathrm{d^4}x}{\mathrm{d}t^4}\frac{t^4}{4}\cdot etc. \cdot ?$$ why are the best questions the ones which have been closed? Say I have two points. One at $A = (0, 0)$ and another at $B = (0, 10)$. I wish to derive an equation for a line that, for any point $P$ on the line, would equal a set ratio for the distance $P$ to $A$ and $P$ to $B$.  This is easy if the predetermined ratio for $A:B$ is $1:1$. I would create a line from $A$ to $B$, find its midpoint, then create an orthogonal line at the midpoint. Then at any $P$ on the line I know that the ratio distances from $P$ to $A$ and $B$ will be $1:1$.  But what if the ratio for $A:B$ is something like $11:18$?  This is for a positioning algorithm I am implementing - not for homework :)  EDIT: Note - If an exact formula is not possible, an approximation of the line out to $\pm 200$ from $A$ or $B$ is acceptable as values further from $A$ and $B$ will not be utilized anyway. A linear equation for the final result/approximation is ideal for speed in running multiple computations. Prove $kf(x)+f'(x)=0 $ when conditions of Rolle's theorem are satisfied . How can I reset $PATH to its default value in Ubuntu? I accidentally unset all the directories of $PATH while trying to add a new one in ~/.bashrc. I opened a new terminal window as I was editing and now $PATH is empty. I'm worried if I boot from another drive to find the $PATH I won't be able to boot into this drive again.  Basically, what is the default result of echo $PATH? What's the best way to deal with hot/stuck pixels in long exposure night photographs? I discovered red/blue/white pixels on my night photographs tonight. Trying to confirm this, I took a black image with the lens on and indeed I saw a whole lot of them (I didn't count them but at least a good fifty on the whole picture).   I'm not exactly sure if they are hot pixels, stuck pixels or anything else.  I quickly gave a check to my last exported JPEG files (I get RAW out of the camera) and couldn't find anything. After a quick search, I've seen that Lightroom is caring about those pixels after RAW conversion.  I've read that, with Canon DSLRs, there is a software process that could take care of that directly on my camera. I don't know if I can use it without getting things even more messy.   My question is: Considering my crazy pixels are not visible on my pictures, should I get too emotional about them? My camera is under warranty but is it really worth it to return it to Canon? If it's only to receive it back 1 month later after Canon just used the very same menu to map out the pixels, it's a bit ridiculous. Could this be a sign that my camera has a bigger problem?  It seems related to shutter speed. When shooting a black image at 1/250s I get nothing. When shooting the same setup but 1s, I get a few of them. The more I increase the shutter speed, the more crazy pixels I get. How are Wolverine's claws still in his body? Everyone knows that Wolverine's adamantium claws are super-sharp — sharper than even a razor — and virtually indestructible. What puzzled me the first time I saw Wolverine is: how do the claws stay in his body?  As it is shown, Wolverine's flesh and skin are human in strength, but the healing factor makes it superhumanly durable and strong. Still, when Wolverine slashes something, or someone, extremely hard, dense, or thick (as he has to use great amount of force), the claws don't tear through his hand and leave his hand through the opposite side of the palm (because of the action having equal and opposite reaction).
