How can I create a Windows bootable USB stick using Ubuntu? I'd like to create a Windows bootable USB stick, but I don't have a Windows machine with me at the moment to do so. How could I achieve the same using Ubuntu?

For some reason I keep getting this error:  ! Missing = inserted for \ifnum. &lt;to be read again&gt;                     - l.3 \begin           {document}^^M   I have tried a minimal document to make sure it is not some kind of compatibility issue. And I get that same error in the most minimal document possible.  I'm using pdfLaTeX to compile, and have tried both from TeXWorks and from bash. I'm using TeXLive, if that matters. I have also tried reinstalling siunitx, l3packages, and l3kernel. There was an issue with l3kernel before this, due to an apparently old version. But all three packages are now up to date. I've also reinstalled expl3 while trying to debug the original issue.

How to plot stacked bar plot inside table? I have following code in Latex. Which plots only one data series (data2).

I'm trying to use grep to show only lines containing either of the two words, if only one of them appears in the line, but not if they are in the same line.  So far I've tried  grep pattern1 | grep pattern2 | ... but didn't get the result I expected. I want to put a table and a figure side-by-side. The table should fill two third of the text width, and the figure the last third.  So I'd like to achieve one of the following effects (which are equivalent in my case):   One table with 3 columns. The first two columns contain text, the third column contains a lengthy image. The height of the image should be determined by the height of the whole table, if that's possible Or, a divided page like in newspapers. On the left side I have the table, on the right side the image.   What I have tried:  \begin{multicols}{2} \begin{tabular}{ l l } Text &amp; Text \\ Text &amp; Text \\ ... &amp; ... \\ \end{tabular} \vfill \begin{figure}[H]     \includegraphics[]{images/image} \end{figure} \end{multicols}   But this places the picture directly on top of the table.  I also tried using \usepackage[export]{adjustbox} and \includegraphics[right]{images/image} but the caption is still in the center of the page and therefor on top of the table. What exactly can a financial advisor do for me, and is it worth the money? I've been managing my own expenses pretty meticulously for the past 4-5 years since being out of college and on my own. Because of this, I feel I have more of a clue about finances than the average 28-year-old.  I use  to manage pretty much all of my accounts, though I realize this is just a quick and easy personal finance solution. Plus, there's no personally customized advice on how I invest or set up my monthly budget.  These are the reasons I think I may want to find a good financial advisor. However, I don't know what I don't know. That is, there could be a long list of things I should be doing with my money to plan for retirement or just for general financial wellbeing.  Are these the functions of a financial advisor? What can I expect if I sit down to meet with one? Most importantly, how much would I be paying for this advice and is it worth it? Server login attempts NOT blocked after configuring fail2ban So, I installed (and configured) fail2ban on three Ubuntu VPS servers. I configured (imo) a maximum of 3 failed login attempts (via Putty as root) within 2 minutes. Then I restarted the fail2ban service (according to ).    But when I look at my auth.log files in /var/log/ I still see 4, 5 or more failed attempts from certain IP's. So obviously I did something wrong as the IP is not blocked after 3 failed attempts.   It might have to do something with iptables, but that's where it gets a bit "foggy" for me..   Not sure how to setup a max-three-failed-login-attempts rule..  Additional: I see that the login attempts mostly have different ports for every attempt. Does that influence the count to max-three?  Because I see a port being "poked" twice and then no more attempts. Then the IP tries a different port (again 2 times). (all bots of course) How do we know an $ \aleph_1 $ exists at all? I have two questions, actually. The first is as the title says: how do we know there exists an infinite cardinal such that there exists no other cardinals between it and $ \aleph_0 $? (We would have to assume or derive the existence of such an object before we label it something like $ \aleph_1 $.)  My second question is, can we say for certain if there's any limit to the number of cardinals existing between $ \aleph_0 $ and continuum (i.e. $ 2^{\aleph_0} $)? I mean, how could we know that there&#39;s not an infinite number of cardinals between the two - perhaps even more than $ \aleph_0 $? VLC will not install Removable singularities and an entire function Function $f(z)$ is an entire function such that $$|f(z)| \le |z^{n}|$$ for $z \in \mathbb{C}$ and some $n \in \mathbb{N}$.  Show that the singularities of the function $$\frac {f(z)}{z^{n}}$$ are removable. What can be implied about the function $f(z)$ if moreover $f(1) = i$? Draw a far-reaching conclusion.  My attempt: If the singularities of $\frac {f(z)}{z^{n}}$ are removable, it is entire (not sure, need help with the justification) and bounded, so constant from Liouville's theorem, the constant value of the funcion is $i$, hence $f(z)=iz^{n}$.   But what about the $n$ here, is it arbitrary? Could somebody help me prove the removability of the singularities and suggest if my attempt is going the right way? How do you type a single backslash, code-formatted, in a comment? Is there a way to type something in a comment that renders like this?     You'll need to escape it with a backslash - that is, the \ character.   I've tried various combinations, but a single backslash formatted as code seems to be impossible. Can this be fixed, or can I be enlightened please?  And to clarify: I expect this:  You'll need to escape it with a backslash - that is, the `\\` character.   to work properly, but it doesn't. Instead, one backslash escapes the ` and I'm left with a mess.

Screenshot Why is the (non-relativistic) stress tensor linear and symmetric? From :     "[...] the stress vector $T$ across a surface will always be a linear function of the surface's normal vector $n$, the unit-length vector that is perpendicular to it. [...] The linear relation between $T$ and $n$ follows from the fundamental laws of conservation of linear momentum and static equilibrium of forces, and is therefore mathematically exact, for any material and any stress situation. The components of the Cauchy stress tensor at every point in a material satisfy the equilibrium equations (Cauchy’s equations of motion for zero acceleration). Moreover, the principle of conservation of angular momentum implies that the stress tensor is symmetric."   What is the more detailed explanation for this, and/or where can I find it? How do I transfer a file from a guest account on a MacBook Air? If we have two circles in the plane described by $(x_1, y_1, r_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2, r_2)$ we can determine if they are completely disjoint by simply:  $$(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2 &lt; (r_1 + r_2)^2$$  Assume this is not the case, we now want to know if one completely overlaps the other.  (That is: if the second circles interior is a subset of the first circles interior.)  If $(x_1, y_1) = (x_2, y_2)$ than we can trivially compare radii, so lets assume their centers are distinct.  The way I have imagined is to create a parametric equation of the line that connects the two centers:  \begin{align} x_p(t) &amp;= x_1 + t(x_2 - x_1) \\ y_p(t) &amp;= y_1 + t(y_2 - y_1) \end{align}  Then we calculate the two line segments (represented as two pairs of t values) where the circles intersect this line.  One is a subset of the other if and only if the corresponding circles are subsets of each other.  Is there a simpler approach I am overlooking?
