Today, I couldn't watch a video embedded on  on my phone. Then, doing a search I found that those questions exists:       Why are you forcing the flash player? Any embedded video gets automatically this code on Stack Exchange: &lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/hFWBJgirKfw&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; &gt;  When you add this to your code type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot;, you force the YouTube flash player. All you have to do is this: &lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/hFWBJgirKfw&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;  Embedding videos is not rocket science. Let YouTube decide when to show the HTML5 Player (if the user is on mobile) or the Flash Player (if the browser doesn't support HTML5); Google knows how to take care of that. Otherwise, you're preventing mobile users from watching any embedded videos on their phones, because most modern phones explicitly do not include Flash in their software anymore and it is not available on their stores. You're also punching people like me, who love the , in the face. Many people have spoken also against the practice of using flash player saying it is . Occupy Flash, whose mission is to destroy flash player said in a :  Flash Player is dead. Its time has passed. It's buggy. It crashes a lot. It requires constant security updates. It doesn't work on most mobile devices. It's a fossil, left over from the era of closed standards and unilateral corporate control of web technology. Websites that rely on Flash present a completely inconsistent (and often unusable) experience for fast-growing percentage of the users who don't use a desktop browser. It introduces some scary security and privacy issues by way of Flash cookies. Flash makes the web less accessible. At this point, it's holding back the web.  Apple.com also spoke against the use of Flash in a post :  Conclusions. Flash was created during the PC era – for PCs and mice. Flash is a successful business for Adobe, and we can understand why they want to push it beyond PCs. But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards – all areas where Flash falls short. New open standards created in the mobile era, such as HTML5, will win on mobile devices (and PCs too). Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind. Steve Jobs  April, 2010  Stop forcing flash.
Currently, this site embeds YouTube videos as Flash. (see an example: )  However, this is not the best solution, as now YouTube also supports HTML5, and some users (like me!) prefer to use HTML5 player instead of Flash. Supposedly, it should also work on devices that don't have Flash player (I can't confirm because I don't have one).  The solution seems quite simple: just change the embed code to an iframe, as described at     EDIT:  says:     Note: YouTube &lt;object&gt; embeds were  on January 27, 2015. Please migrate your applications to the , which can intelligently use whichever embedded player – HTML (&lt;video&gt;) or Flash (&lt;object&gt;) – the client supports.
Weird line in my mirrored mesh was following a tutorial where I stumbled into this weird line in my mirrored mesh (sorry for the feet lol)      You can also download the blender file How to convert physical Ubuntu operating system into a virtual machine? A while ago I turned my PC into dual boot with Windows and Ubuntu. But my experience is, that I rarely boot into Ubuntu, so I wanted to make it available as virtual machine in Windows rather than as a second OS. Can you provide me some information which is the tool of my choice and how I can achieve this migration? I already have VMWare Player installed. Is there a way to substitute aliases such that it is appended or prepended to an existing command in the shell?   For example, defining the alias:  alias execloc='/home/user/'   Prepending this to a command in the bash terminal:  cd exeloc/temp/somefolder   Can something like this be done, or is there a way to do it? How to draw line through group plots in pgfplots? I'm writing a tool to report information about .NET applications deployed across environments and regions within my client's systems.  I'd like to read the values of assembly attributes in these assemblies.  This can be achieved using Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoad, however even this approach keeps the assembly loaded.  The issue here is that I cannot load two assemblies that have the same name from different paths, so naturally I can't compare the same application deployed in different systems.  At this point I'm assuming the solution will involve using temporary AppDomains.  Can someone detail how to load an assembly into another AppDomain, read the attributes from it and then unload the AppDomain?  This needs to work for assemblies on the file system as well as those at URL addresses. Will I lose previous purchases when I change country in iTunes I lived in country A for a few years, and made a number of purchases on the iTunes store for that country. I have now moved to country B, and want to start using the iTunes store from country B. If I change the country in my account settings, will I lose all my previous purchases, or will I still be able to re-download my purchases from country A from iCloud? A method for the OP to accept comments? Question: What if the author of a question can accept a comment?   The problem:  Time and time again, answers are posted as a comment.  Usually, the person who commented has the best of intention (e.g. it was a trivial answer [to the answerer], and they weren't sure if the OP would immediately edit the question after the comment).  But this leaves the frustrating situation of an unanswered question with a perfectly good answer.  This problem accumulates over the years.     Candidate solution:  The OP can just "accept" the comment, after which a duplicate of the comment is made an accepted CW answer, with a preface indicating that it was originally a comment, e.g. This answer was originally a comment posted by [[blah]] that has been accepted by the author of the question.   Comments on this scheme:   The author of the comment has indicated they're not interested in gaining/losing reputation through their comment (thus CW answer). The original comment is still there. If desirable, the "author" of the accepted question could be a "bot", so the answer is not attributed to a genuine account.  (I suppose it would already be technically possible for Joe Blow to create a script for a bot that creates an answer from a comment in the proposed way.)     A similar question was asked before  (over 3 years ago), and in numerous other questions which have been deemed "duplicates" (,  and ; see also ), so there seems to be demand for such a feature.  The answers to these questions seem (to me, at least) quite weak:   "ask the commenter to add the comment as an answer"   The OP already did this by asking the question in the first place.  And what if the author of the comment doesn't respond (or takes a long time to respond)?  This also adds more chit-chat irrelevant to the question.   "add an answer of your own, referring to the comment, and accept it."   A hacky workaround.  How could this possibly be better than accepting a comment?  (Yet, this is the most up-voted response.)  Moreover, this adds to the user's list of "answers" (thus making the user's page harder to look through).   "When i leave a comment, i do so because i want to leave a comment."   Great; now what about everyone else?  In the immortal words of the FAQ: "Other people can edit my posts?!"  And it's not even an edit, it's copying the post from one box to another (a more hacky version of which is regarded as the "accepted" method). Writing ISO 19139 compliant XML metadata from spreadsheet? I am looking at a way to migrate the metadata from a spreadsheet into ISO 19139 compliant XML metadata documents for a collection of shapefiles. I can parse the data out of the spreadsheet into strings without issue however I am getting lost on how to take those strings and use them to populate the elements.   This example:  covers most of what I want to do, however I would need to generate the tree beforehand based on the ISO 19139 schema. PyXB seems to have schema bundles for OpenGIS but I would like some insight on how to connect everything. I read this story 30+ years ago in grade school. A man crashes on an alien planet. He has a small amount of water and accidentally spills some, and the planet replicates it but it must destroy part of itself to do so.  The man then finds some stale crumbs in his pocket, puts them in a trough, and the planet replicates them as well, but it's disgusting to eat. The man eventually decides that his situation is hopeless, so he lays down to die on a table in a hot room and thinks he can at least give back to the planet some of the nutrients it sacrificed for him. He falls asleep, and when he awakens, he has been transformed into an alien creature that is perfectly suited and adapted to live on the planet without discomfort to himself or damage the planet. Page number position I am working on a long document in LaTeX with documentclass book. I need the page number to always be in the upper right corner of each page, even if that page is the first page of a chapter (right now on 1st pages of chapters, the page number is bottom-centered, on all other pages it's top-right).  I control the position of the page number with fancyhdr:  \usepackage{fancyhdr} \pagestyle{fancy} \lhead{} \chead{} \rhead{\thepage} \lfoot{} \cfoot{} \rfoot{} \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}   Also, I don't know if the problem is related but my chapters do not start from the top of the page. There is a white area, then comes chapter X, then a newline with the chapter line. What I also want is the chapter to start from the top of the page.  The main question here is how I can get the page number to always appear in the upper right corner, I mention the thing with the chapter title position only in case that might be related. When is $\mathbb{F}_p[x]/(x^2-2)\simeq\mathbb{F}_p[x]/(x^2-3)$ for small primes? I've been considering the rings $R_1=\mathbb{F}_p[x]/(x^2-2)$ and $R_2=\mathbb{F}_p[x]/(x^2-3)$, where $\mathbb{F}_p=\mathbb{Z}/(p)$.   I'm trying to figure out if they're isomorphic (as rings I suppose) or not for primes $p=2,5,11$.   I don't think they are for $p=11$, since $x^2-2$ is irreducible over $\mathbb{F}_{11}$, so $R_1$ is a field. But $x^2-3$ has $x=5,6$ as solution in $\mathbb{F}_{11}$, so $R_2$ is not even a domain.  For $p=5$, both polynomials are irreducible, so both rings are fields with $25$ elements.  I know from my previous studies that any two finite fields of the same order are isomorphic, but I'm curious if there is a simpler way to show the isomorphism in this case, without resorting to that theorem.  For $p=2$, neither ring is even a domain as $x=0$ is a solution of $x^2-2$ and $x=1$ is a solution for $x^2-3$, but I'm not sure how to proceed after that. Thank you for any help. How do I install Ubuntu? If you go to  and are a 4k+ user on Anime.SE, you will see the following:        There is one reopen vote on this question, but the reopen vote count is displayed on a different line than the word "reopen". This is slightly silly, and would perhaps benefit from converting reopen (1) to reopen&amp;nbsp;(1), and likewise for close and delete votes. (Or any other way of preventing a line break between the vote type and the vote count.)  A repro (the close link) from here on Meta: How to select an index value from a String Array in a JOptionPane I am writing a journal which has two column. I am using {figure} as well as {figure*} to place the figures in one column as well as stretch across two columns.   My problem is the order of the figures are not correct. e.g. their order of appearance is:                  Figure 1.                 Figure 2.                 Figure 5.                 Figure 3.                 Figure 4.   What should I do to make them appear in order? How to dynamically load directive into page Let $B$ be a commutative domain and $A \subseteq B$ a subring. Suppose that the extension $A \to B$ is finite, i.e. $B$ is finitely generated as an $A$-module. If $I \cap A = \lbrace 0 \rbrace$ for some ideal $I$ of $B$, can we conclude that $I = \lbrace 0 \rbrace$?  I know that if $I$ contains a nonzero prime ideal, the statement holds since $A \to B$ is an integral extension, whereby no two comparable prime ideals of $B$ can have the same intersection with $A$. But does the statement still hold if $I$ does not contain a nonzero prime ideal? And what if $A \to B$ is only assumed to be an integral extension? How to automatically keep user remembered in Devise If I my motherboard is SATAI, can it use SATAII hard drives? Is it possible to run Snow Leopard on a LATE 2011 MacBook Pro? I want to buy a new MacBook Pro, from Apple. However I want to run Snow Leopard instead of Lion.  I did some Google searches and found a few success stories of people who got SL to run on their early-2011 MBPs. I didn't find much of any experiences of people doing the same on a late-2011 MBP though, so I'm wondering (and really hoping!) if it's possible?
