I just bought Windows 8.1 and I would like to download the ISO file so I can make a bootable key for my new computer. Microsoft provided me an executable file called OSGS14-WindowsSetupBox-32bitand64bit-English-4141408.  Since I have a Mac laptop, I made a virtual machine running Windows 7 64bits, and I tried to run this executable, yet it fails since my screen resolution is too low (and I cannot increase it). It requires 1024x768 and I have 1280x674. Basically, it says I do not meet the standards of Windows 8.1 so I can't continue. My other computer (which I will install Windows 8.1 on) has no operating system to the Mac is my only solution.  Now I am a bit worried, is there any way I get this ISO file from a "sane" source ? I have a key any way, does Microsoft provide a link to this ISO file ?
I obtained a licence key for Windows 8 through DreamSpark. Is there a way to download a Windows 8 ISO image like you could for Windows 7? I am on a non-Windows machine, so I cannot use the Secure Download Manager to download Windows 8 directly using DreamSpark.
I am an undergrad in economics and really want to get a helping hand as I get from math and stats from a Stack Exchange site for economics. Where can I post my questions on economics topics? Cells not updating automatically I have a formula in a cell which counts the values in 2 other cells. Normally, after entering in the values in these 2 other cells, the formula cell updates automatically when Enter is pressed or when the cells are clicked out of.  However, for some reason, the value calculated by the formula does not update automatically. I am having to click on the formula bar, then I have to click enter for the formula cell to do its thing.  Why is this happening? I just started in Griffith's Introduction to electrodynamics and I stumbled upon the divergence of $\frac{ \hat r}{r^2} \equiv \frac{{\bf r}}{r^3}$, now from the book, Griffiths says:  Now what is the paradox, exactly? Ignoring any physical intuition behind this (point charge at the origin) how are we supposed to believe that the source of $\vec v$ is concentrated at the origin mathematically? Or are we forced to believe that because there was a contradiction with the divergence theorem? Also how would the situation differ if $\vec v$ was the same vector function but not for a point charge? Or is it impossible? Cardinal number subtraction We all know that $|\mathbb{N}| = \aleph_0$. Since $|\{-1\} \cup \mathbb{N}| = \aleph_0$ as well, I guess you could say that $\aleph_0 + 1 = \aleph_0$.  You can go on to derive that $\aleph_0 + \aleph_0 = \aleph_0$, and by induction $n \times \aleph_0 = \aleph_0$ (assuming that $n$ is finite, anyway).  Now, here's a thing: What is $\aleph_0 - \aleph_0$?  Well, $|\mathbb{P}| = \aleph_0$, and $|\mathbb{P} \backslash \mathbb{N}| = \aleph_0$, so perhaps $\aleph_0 - \aleph_0 = \aleph_0$?  No, wait. Consider the set $S = \{n \in \mathbb{N}: n &gt; 5\}$. Now we have $|S| = \aleph_0$, and yet $|\mathbb{N} \backslash S| = 5$. So maybe $\aleph_0 - \aleph_0 = 5$?  But that is absurd, since we can redefine $S$ to make the result any finite number we wish. Or we can define $S$ such that the result is countably infinite.  Does this mean that the notion of $\aleph_0 - \aleph_0$ simply has no definite answer? Or am I just being too simplistic here? Declaring Text Decorations such as Underline, Strikethrough in a Style How do I include text decorations such as Underline, Strikethrough etc in a Style definition:  &lt;Style x:Key="UnderlinedLabel"&gt;      &lt;Setter Property="Control.FontFamily" Value="Trebuchet MS" /&gt;      &lt;Setter Property="Control.FontSize" Value="14" /&gt;      &lt;!-- Next line fails --&gt;      &lt;Setter Property="Control.TextDecorations" Value="Underline" /&gt; &lt;/Style&gt;   I'm familiar with using the following XAML to underline text:  &lt;TextBlock&gt;    &lt;Underline&gt;        Underlined text    &lt;/Underline&gt; &lt;/TextBlock&gt;   However text decoration is just another style, I want to be able to define it declaritively like FontWeight, FontSize etc.  [Update]  I was applying this style to a Label control.  This was my main problem.  It appears you can't underline text in a Label.  Change to a TextBlock (thanks gix) and all is well. Bash tab completion fails inside of command substitution I've been using kill $(pidof ) to terminate programs for a while, and since last night, every time I try to use tab completion inside the $() it throws an error,   bash: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `)' bash: syntax error: unexpected end of file   Tab-completion works fine outside of command substitution.  I guess my question is where are the configuration files for tab-completion located on an Ubuntu system? If anyone has had this specific problem, or can see plainly what I cannot, how to fix this, and/or why this would occur? (I always want to know why.)  and if not that, even where and how I should begin my investigation into this problem, would be greatly appreciated.  UPDATE  tab completion following $(pidof is no longer throwing an error, but is now not working at all. I've never really messed with any bash internals before, but am not afraid to get my hands dirty. Any guidance greatly appreciated. My question is similar to  except it's about VMware Workstation Player instead of VirtualBox.  How do I disable mouse integration? I want the VM to "capture" my mouse. One option is to pass my mouse directly to the VM, but that's more difficult if I need to exit the VM (I want to just use Ctrl+Alt).  I'm using "VMware Workstation 15 Player (Non-commercial use only)" How to get pixel data from a UIImage (Cocoa Touch) or CGImage (Core Graphics)? Reading the reviews of the  on Google Play,  said that since Chrome supports HTML5, he had managed to persuade the BBC iPlayer website to play him streams meant for iPad/iPhone devices by spoofing an IOS user agent string on his Nexus 7.  How might I go about getting the same thing to work myself?  I have looked at  and  but both seem to concentrate on the Dolphin browser. Also, please mention if a solution will require me to root my Nexus-7.  Incidentally, I also tried using  with Firefox, but although Firefox supports HTML5 and the iPlayer website shows pages without either install flash or use external app messages, it still won't play the streams (it just sits swirling its progress wheel), hence looking for a solution for Chrome. How does this wiring work? I have a Trane XV90 and XL 14i. The wiring looks a little strange as in the picture bellow.                    _____________                   |           |   BK W2  W1   R  G  Y  B/C  YLO O     |___||   |__|  ||   |          |   |     ||   |_____>|----------|         |   |     ||_________>|other wire|         |   |     |           ------------         V   V     V     ---------------     |thermostat   |     ---------------  The R and G are jumpered together and the G wire is connected on the board  but is actually not connecting to the thermostat on the other end. So people told me that means the furnace fan is always on! (In my diagram above, I switched the location of Y and B/C to make diagram easier to draw. You can refer to the photo added below to see the details) My questions are the following  is the jumper between O and Y doing anything? I don't think I have heat pump I need to install Honeywell wifi thermostat and I am thinking of doing either one of the following:   remove jumper between R and G, and use G to connect B/C and then to thermostat C and put jumper between G and Y  leave jumper between R and G, and use G to connect B/C and then to thermostat C and put jumper between G and Y  remove jumper between R and G, connect G on control board to thermostat G, and finally have the spare wire to connect B/C and then thermostat C  leave jumper between R and G, does not connect G to thermostat,  and just use a spare wire to connect B/C on board to thermostat C   Can anyone comment on those plans? Thanks a lot! "Who wants ice-cream?" — Should I say "(not) I" or "(not) me"? With the enthusiastic question of "Who wants ice-cream?", what is the more correct response?         (Not) I.   (Not) me.      Neither response is a sentence. The first response of "(not) I" sounds stuffy, like it should be followed with an indignant sniff. The second sounds like American idiom and acceptable for casual speech.    What do you say? Does the (relativistic) mass change? Why? I try to add an item to my sharepoint list from a custom web part. Is there any mistake in my code?

Flagging history doesn't show anything when the only flags being cast are spam flags Today I've helped flag a lot of spam for this: .

Why lipophilic molecules can pass phospholipid bilayer, in spite of 2 hydrophilic layers? It is commonly told that, hydrophobic/ lipophilic/ nonpolar molecules can quite easily pass phospholipid bilayer, and hydrophilic (polar or ionic) molecules can't pass (when no protein aid that); because hydrophobic nature of the lipid.  But in the same logic, hydrophobic molecules shouldn't pass through the bilayer. Because there are 2 hydrophilic layers in the membrane. i.e.      A and A' .  Then how the hydrophobic molecules can pass through A and A'?   I guess, it is due to thin diameter of A and A' . Is that? What are the positives and negatives of periodic DFT codes that don't use plane-wave basis sets? Most periodic density functional theory (DFT) codes use plane-wave basis sets in conjunction with three-dimensional periodic boundary conditions. In contrast, for molecular systems of finite size, Gaussian basis sets are often used. The former are quite efficient for periodic systems, but more expensive methods such as hybrid functionals become intractable for large system sizes. The latter is well-suited for finite clusters but rarely is appropriate for periodic systems.   uses a mixed Gaussian and plane-wave approach (GAPW) for periodic systems.  models periodic systems using atom-centered Gaussian functions.  expresses wavefunctions in real space, avoiding explicit basis sets.  What are some positives and negatives of these alternate approaches, when compared to more conventional periodic DFT packages? I have an external HDD and I kind of messed up the file permissions but when fixing it I thought it is ok bc with my username I can access the files perfectly fine. Now that I use this with two PC (actually ATM I don't have access to my other PC) I can't access these files.  The problem is this directory has hundreds of folders with no permission for "everyone". I would like to give it the default permissions including have all access for the user "everyone". How do I do that via command line for these hundreds of folders? PostgreSQL execute a default query when no row are returned I need to calculate the average score of a list of userId.  I have a table user_place_score:  (user_id, place_id, score)   Sometimes I do not have the score (no row for (user_id,place_id) in the table) so I need to fetch a "default" score from the table default_place_score:  (place_id, score)   Is is possible in PostgreSQL to do this in one query? For a given list of users and one place_id, select all their scores in the user_place_score and if no row is found then take the score found if the default_place_score table?  Basically I want to avoid doing this kind of stuff:  for (Integer userId : userIds) {   score = (query to fetch the score for this userId)   if (score == null)     defaultScore = (query to fetch the default score for this PlaceId)    total = total + defaultScore }  //return the average return total/numberOfUser The origin of the value of speed of light in vacuum Notation and the name choice for meet and join (in order theory) I have two simple questions:   From where do the names  come from? I don't see any intuition between those names in context of order theory. From where does the notation come? I have to admit, I always had an impression that notation we use is somewhat backwards... just take the look at the picture at the wikipedia!    I used this notation a lot of times and I have to admit that often I have to stop for a minute and convince myself that I'm indeed using it right. I'm hoping that learning a bit about origin and context of name choice and notation will make it easier.
