I've been sifting through google search results and can't find the answer.  It seems F8 is not an option anymore.. however everything else shows how to boot into safe mode - when you're already in windows.. argh... that makes no sense, why do I need safe mode if windows is already working properly?  What I need is a way to boot straight into safe mode in window 10.. how can I do this? My screen is not working and i need to uninstall the graphics drivers - the regular "Type blindly your password" solution to this "Black Screen of Nothingness except a mouse cursor after windows 10 upgrade" problem is not working for me.. so I need to boot into safe mode and uninstall the nvidia drivers.  I don't have a windows CD since I upgraded from the internet. So I can't boot from that either.  So what's the official (or any) way to boot straight into safe mode ? thanks
I've been through the Windows 10 upgrade, and am experiencing a recurring "INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR", which is stopping me from logging in.  I'd like to be able to try to boot to safe mode, but it appears that pressing F8 during boot is no longer enough, so how can I boot in safe mode (or any of the other recovery options) on a Windows 10 PC that doesn't let me log on?
I have heard that two permutations are conjugate if they have the same cyclic structure. Is there an intuitive way to understand why this is? Draw power from a portable mobile charger to power circuits I usually power my beginner prototype circuits using mb102 power supply board, but it needs an external elimeter to draw power and then regulate it.  I was looking for a portable solution for my 5 volt and 3.3 volt circuit needs and came up with using a portable battery charger for mobile phones.  I tried powering up a simple transistor and LED circuit with it but it wouldn't power-up.   I feel that there is some load sensing circuit in the portable charger which doesn't detect these low power circuits.  I also tried connecting different resistors to the charger, the charger outputs 5 Volts for a few seconds and then again shuts down and doesn't stay ON continuously.  It would be really comfortable to use a portable charger since it could be charged using a phone charger and would be very handy.  What can I do to make the charger output power on low loads? I'm using Ubuntu 11.10.  The python 2.7.2 provided has a bug that has been corrected in the latest 2.7.2 sources from the python repository.  What is the recommended way to replace the ubuntu provided python with the python from source? Or put another way, how do I "update" the ubuntu-provided one?  Ideally, I would just be able to create new .deb(s) that "update" the python2.7/python2.7-dev provided by Ubuntu. How to Check If A Plugin Is Enabled Through API? I suspect that some bug makes internal linking count towards Publicity badges too. The badges :  These badges are specifically for linking to questions like the description says. The link must be clicked from outside the network in order for it to count for this purpose.  However, 2 days ago I was  for a question that I really feel does not need such linking to start with: . Also, I always try to use full links. And above all:  for the link gives me a single hit, for . Maybe it's thinking that empty REFERER headers (for those that block that, or for Safari users who ) should be counted too? Or maybe some search bot is using lots of IP addresses? Or visitors of Stack Overflow clones are to blame? How can I extract text from images?  I am not talking about scanned files, but garden variety images, such as when you take a high-def picture of a blackboard at class, and it is nicely handwritten; or when you photograph a page from a recipe book and want the recipe in text format.  Any free and open software for that?  I tried tesseract, and the results were awful. Sort and display directory list alphabetically using opendir() in php How do I color intersection of two ellipses in different color. For instances, the ellipses should themselves be colored as yellow and their intersection as red. My code for drawing ellipses is given below  \draw (-4,0) ellipse (8 and 3); \draw (8,0) ellipse (8 and 3);   UPDATE: In the comments to individual answers, I have requested to show it for three ellipses. Will the Windows 10 Free Upgrade stay in the Professional channel? Convince grep to output all lines, not just those with matches Say I have the following file:  $ cat test  test line 1 test line 2 line without the search word another line without it test line 3 with two test words test line 4   By default, grep returns each line that contains the search term:  $ grep test test  test line 1 test line 2 test line 3 with two test words test line 4   Passing the --color parameter to grep will make it highlight the portion of the line that matches the search expression, but it still only returns lines that contain the expression. Is there a way to get grep to output every line in the source file, but highlight the matches?  My current terrible hack to accomplish this (at least on files that don't have 10000+ consecutive lines with no matches) is:  $ grep -B 9999 -A 9999 test test     If grep can't accomplish this, is there another command-line tool that offers the same functionality? I've fiddled with , but it doesn't seem to have an option for it either. R raster: masking a raster by polygon also remove cells partially covered? I want to mask out a raster based on the values of a polygon: i.e., set to NA all values of the raster that are not covered by the polygons. However, it seems that raster::mask() masks out cells (i.e. set them to NA) even if they are partially covered?  This is similar to the question: , but unlike crop(), mask() does not have the snap="out" option.   Check: here the right point of the triangle touches a cell, yet that cells is masked out.   library(raster) library(sp)  r &lt;- raster(xmn=1, xmx=5, ymn=1, ymx=5, nrows=4, ncols=4) r[] &lt;- 1:length(r)  Sr1 = Polygon(cbind(c(2,4,4,1,2),c(2,3,5,4,2))) Sr2 = Polygon(cbind(c(4.1,4,2),c(2,3,2)))  SpP = SpatialPolygons(list(Polygons(list(Sr1), "s1"), Polygons(list(Sr2), "s2")), 1:2)  plot(mask(r, SpP)) plot(SpP,  add=TRUE) Is there a way to delete all stack exchange accounts at the same time?

Selecting the Real Analysis Textbooks I am a sophomore in US with double majors in mathematics and microbiology. I am interested in self-studying the real analysis starting now since it will help me on my current research on computational microbiology, prepare for upcoming math research (starting on this Fall) on the analytic number theory, and prepare for the real analysis course I will take on Fall and Putnam competition. I just finished "Calculus with Analytic Geometry" by G. Simmons, "How to Prove It" by Daniel Velleman, and "How to Solve It" by G. Polya. I also read some portions of Apostol's Calculu Vol.I to get a deeper view on the calculus theories. I was originally planned to read Apostol's Calculus Vol.I and Spivak's Calculus first, but I think it would be a better idea to start with real analysis since it covers all ideas in those "advanced calculus" textbooks and much more. My current plan is to start with one "dumbed-down" real analysis textbook and one "comprehensive, detailed, and intermediate" textbook, and advance into Rudin's PMA (required textbook for my real analysis course) starting on Summer and use it in accordance with other real analysis textbooks. Could you help me on selecting one book from each category?   Elementary Real Analysis textbooks:  **Elementary Analysis: The Theory of Calculus (Kenneth Ross)  **Understanding Analysis (Steven Abbott)  **The Way of Analysis (Robert Strichartz)  **Real Mathematical Analysis (Charles Pugh)   Intermediate, detailed Real Analysis textbooks:  **Mathematical Analysis (Tom Apostol)  **Undergraduate Analysis (Serge Lang)  **Introduction to Real Analysis (Bartle, Sherbert) **Elements of Real Analysis (Bartle, Sherbert)  **Mathematical Analysis I (Vladimir Zorich)   Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to your advice!   Sincerely, PK Other users have been leaving me angry and hostile comments accusing me of plagiarism and saying that I'm a liar and I should stop stealing answers. But I have only been copying content from other sites, not taking answers from other users.   I don't understand what is wrong here. Shouldn't we be focused on building all the content and knowledge in a single place, much like Wikipedia does?  What does it matter that I copy and paste content I've found elsewhere so long as the question gets an answer? What is the importance of the Diophantine inequality $\frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} + \frac{1}{r} > 1$? In Humphreys' book  Introduction to Lie algebras and Representation Theory(3rd printing, p.62), the Diophantine inequality $$\frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q} + \frac{1}{r} &gt; 1$$ appeared while classifying all Coxeter graphs of irreducible root systems. Under the assumption $p \geq q \geq r \geq 2 $, the possible triples turn out to be $(p,2,2), (3,3,2),(4,3,2),(5,3,2)$, which correspond to the Coxeter graph $\text{D}_{p+2}, \text{E}_6, \text{E}_7, \text{E}_8$, respectively.  It seems quite straightforward to solve the inequality in positive integers, but Humphreys said that      This inequality, by the way, has a long mathematical history.   without further comment. So I want to know if this Diophantine inequality has any important significance, or if it has appeared in other context (maybe relevant history) before. Check Constraint with Case Statement How to update Android Studio in Ubuntu? I am trying to update from version 2.0.0 to version 2.1.2 in Ubuntu 64bit/14.04LTS but when I click "update and restart" it says "Downloading patches" and it closes.   It does not start again and if I try to open it, the version is still 2.0.0.   Is there any tutorial to manually update android studio? (keep all settings and etc).
