How to cut mesh by curved surface I need the "extra" from the roof to be removed. For some reason I can't make this work with booleans. Thank you.
How would you cut a shape out of an object using another object? Coming from SketchUp one of the tools I miss most is the circle draw tool which lets you draw a circle on any face and then you could extrude it in/out. The only tool that I know of that comes close to this is the knife tool but this would be very impractical to cut out with the knife  Example:    Is there any tool in blender that can match this function? also how could you do this with squares?
I have installed a vlc in centos 6.5. I want to run it as root. But I get the following error,      "VLC is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry. If you need to use   real-time priorities and/or privileged TCP ports you can use   vlc-wrapper (make sure it is Set-UID root and cannot be run by   non-trusted users first)." Im trying to solve the following question         In the second step  where do they get $k!=2^k-1?$ For what values $s$ does $\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\sin x}{x^s}dx$ converge? For what values $s$ does $\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{\sin x}{x^s}dx$ converge?  Solution says $0&lt;s&lt;2$.  Any ideas? $P_n(x):=1+ \sum_{m=1}^n\dfrac{x^m}{m!}$ has no real root for even $n$ and exactly one real root for odd $n$ Why do we need both the Suffrage and Vox Populi badges? The Suffrage badge is awarded for using 30 votes in the day, and the Vox Populi for using 40.  I understand from  that the idea of Vox Populi is to incentivise voting on questions, but is there any evidence that having two badges does so better than just having Vox Populi? Intuitive explanation for how could there be "more" irrational numbers than rational? How fast a (relatively) small black hole will consume the Earth? This question appeared quite a time ago and was inspired, of course, by all the fuss around "LHC will destroy the Earth".   Consider a small black hole, that is somehow got inside the Earth. Under "small" I mean small enough to not to destroy Earth instantaneously, but large enough to not to evaporate due to the . I need this because I want the black hole to "consume" the Earth. I think reasonable values for the mass would be $10^{15} - 10^{20}$ kilograms.   Also let us suppose that the black hole is at rest relative to the Earth.  The question is: How can one estimate the speed at which the matter would be consumed by the black hole in this circumstances? Is there a possibility to change the font-style in the table of contents? Everything I wrote down in my document was written with Times. However, the ToC does not have the same font family. Is there a way to change the font of the ToC to Times New Roman?

What is the difference between DX format and FX format lenses, and which to choose for what purpose?  What are the pros and cons of both? "I want you succeeding" vs. "I want your succeeding" I am happy seeing you succeed.   I am happy to see you succeed.   I want you to succeed.   I want you succeeding. I want your succeeding.

How do I support scrolling and lock/freeze the header row of a pageBlockTable? I am searching for [free] software that can produce nice looking graphical models, e.g.     Any suggestions would be appreciated. TikZ or cryptocode package for cryptographic protocol diagrams How to change the name of document elements like "Figure", "Contents", "Bibliography", "Appendix", etc.? I'd like to modify the names used to typeset some of my document elements. For example, the caption of figure floats should change from "Figure" to "Fig.", and my \tableofcontents sectioning heading shouldn't read "Contents", but "Table of Contents". How can I do that?  \documentclass{article} % \usepackage[english]{babel} \begin{document} \tableofcontents \section{foo} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \rule{1cm}{1cm}% placeholder for graphic \caption{A figure} \end{figure} \end{document} In the small amount of physics that I have learned thus far, there seems to be a (possibly superficial pattern) that I have been wondering about.  The formula for the kinetic energy of a moving particle is $\frac{1}{2}mv^2$.  The formula for kinetic rotational energy is $\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$.  The formula for energy stored in a capacitor is $\frac{1}{2}C \Delta V^2$.  The formula for energy delivered to an inductor is $\frac{1}{2}LI^2$.  Finally, everyone is aware of Einstein's famous formula $e=mc^2$.  I realize there are other energy formulas (gravitational potential energy, for example) that do not take this form, but is there some underlying reason why the formulas above take a similar form? Is it a coincidence? Or is there a motivation for physicists and textbook authors to present these formulas the way they do? I searched wide and far and couldn't come up with a title for a movie I watched somewhere around the mid-90ies up to early 00's as a rerun in late-night television (in Germany, specifically on Vox; but I'm sure it was an American movie to begin with).  Basically, what I remember from the story revolves around a crew in a space station or maybe space ship of some sort. Some crew members murder other crew members and there is some kind of door they are not supposed/unable to go through. Late in the movie they do go through the door and I'm pretty sure one of the first views is a skeleton of a dead security guard. It turns out the whole thing was some kind of simulation gone wrong and they find themselves to be in a (nuclear?) wasteland. And that's pretty much the revelation/wrap-up of the movie, as I recall it.  I would be delighted if somebody had any idea what movie this could be :) Thanks!  EDIT: The whole movie was in color and I think it was feature-length, not just 45 mins. Prove that for every positive integer $n$, $1/1^2+1/2^2+1/3^2+\cdots+1/n^2\le2-1/n$ Difference between ' and " on command line (bash)? I used to use '' and "" (single and double-quotes) interchangeably on the command line, but I recently noticed that '$HOME/some/dir' is not expanded, while "$HOME/some/dir" is. I searched around a little bit and found that "" allows some protection of special characters, while '' allows full protection. So what other characters are protected by '' and not ""?  EDIT: What are practical situations in which these differences might be significant?
