I installed Ubuntu 19.04 and it's running a lot slower than Windows 7. I have 7.5Gib on an AMD Athlon ii x2 250 processor, and 64 bit.  I still have Windows 7 on my pc and I went back and Windows still runs a lot faster than Ubuntu. Please help!  *Update: After reading similar posts with problems similar to mine, what I figured out was happening was that Chrome was slowing my system down. Switched to Firefox and problem solved! Honestly, this couldn't have had a more simple solution.
For a given hardware configuration, how do I find out if Ubuntu will run on it? What considerations should I take into account when choosing an Ubuntu version and  such as:    with a lighter desktop than the usual Gnome and Unity  with the even lighter LXDE desktop   Obviously Ubuntu does not run on some processor architectures. So how do I go about choosing the right version and derivate. How can I find out the minmal system requirements?
In the NEW CANON why don't the Rebels abandon Yavin 4 before the Death Star Arrives? Paging SQL Server 2005 Results How do I page results in SQL Server 2005?  I tried it in SQL Server 2000, but there was no reliable way to do this. I'm now wondering if SQL Server 2005 has any built in method?  What I mean by paging is, for example, if I list users by their username, I want to be able to only return the first 10 records, then the next 10 records and so on.  Any help would be much appreciated. Group With an Endomorphism That is "Almost" Abelian is Abelian. Suppose a finite group has the property that for every $x, y$, it follows that   \begin{equation*} (xy)^3 = x^3 y^3. \end{equation*}  How do you prove that it is abelian?    Edit: I recall that the correct exercise needed in addition that the order of the group is not divisible by 3. How to limit charging to a user defined limit? My UleFone Armor 2 has a 4700mAh battery and I would like to limit the charging to 60% to reduce battery aging. The batteries in most of the phones are not user-replaceable and I am worried that a factory/service battery replacement might affect water resistance negatively.  How can I limit the charging to 60%? (But not limiting charging speed. I love fast charging.)  Lenovo ThinkPads have a built-in feature that does this, called “battery preservation mode”. Finding additions and updates between two vector layers using QGIS I'm new to TDD and xUnit so I want to test my method that looks something like:   List&lt;T&gt; DeleteElements&lt;T&gt;(this List&lt;T&gt; a, List&lt;T&gt; b);   Is there any Assert method that I can use ? I think something like this would be nice  List&lt;int&gt; values = new List&lt;int&gt;() { 1, 2, 3 }; List&lt;int&gt; expected = new List&lt;int&gt;() { 1 }; List&lt;int&gt; actual = values.DeleteElements(new List&lt;int&gt;() { 2, 3 });  Assert.Exact(expected, actual);   Is there something like this ? Interpolating functions returned by NDSolve do not plot Consider the following figure from Faraway's Linear Models with R (2005, p. 59).    The first plot seems to indicate that the residuals and the fitted values are uncorrelated, as they should be in a homoscedastic linear model with normally distributed errors. Therefore, the second and third plots, which seem to indicate dependency between the residuals and the fitted values, suggest a different model.  But why does the second plot suggest, as Faraway notes, a heteroscedastic linear model, while the third plot suggest a non-linear model?  The second plot seems to indicate that the absolute value of the residuals is strongly positively correlated with the fitted values, whereas no such trend is evident in the third plot. So if it were the case that, theoretically speaking, in a heteroscedastic linear model with normally distributed errors  $$ \mbox{Cor}\left(\mathbf{e},\hat{\mathbf{y}}\right) = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 &amp; \cdots &amp; 1 \\ \vdots &amp; \ddots &amp; \vdots \\ 1 &amp; \cdots &amp; 1\end{array}\right] $$  (where the expression on the left is the variance-covariance matrix between the residuals and the fitted values) this would explain why the second and third plots agree with Faraway's interpretations.  But is this the case? If not, how else can Faraway's interpretations of the second and third plots be justified? Also, why does the third plot necessarily indicate non-linearity? Isn't it possible that it is linear, but that the errors are either not normally distributed, or else that they are normally distributed, but do not center around zero? Massless charged particles Are there any massless (zero invariant mass) particles carrying electric charge?  If not, why not? Do we expect to see any or are they a theoretical impossibility? How to forbid keyboard shortcut stealing by websites in Firefox Many websites, especially everything involving rich text editing (this site is guilty as well), steal keyboard shortcuts normally used to control Firefox and make them do something else instead. It is totally infuriating when I press something like Cmd-number, Cmd-L, Cmd-T, or Cmd-K and it doesn't do what I want it to. Can I make it stop?  Actually, it would probably be for the best if I could forbid stealing of all Cmd-* shortcuts. I've never seen them used for anything useful. Is it possible? Counting the Lotto number draws which contain consecutive numbers How to solve "sudo: /etc/sudoers.d is world writable" My laptop's cable broke and sadly it seems like I need to buy a new power supply.  What I wonder is, I've found that universal power supplies are much cheaper than the official HP ones. Are they really worth it?  Another question: the original supply has these specs: 65W, 18.5V, 3.5A. However the universal supplies are more powerful (90W, 100W) and come in integer voltages (17V, 18V, 19V, etc). Are they compatible? Should I set them to 18V or 19V? Can an inanimate thing lift Mjolnir? Can an inanimate thing can lift Mjolnir without the help of a living being (unworthy)  Scenario 1  Mjolnir in a very light car with a sail attached to it, then a very strong wind blew and moved the car uphill.  It is possible or not?  Scenario 2  Can upward wind alone lift the Mjolnir? Product norm on infinite product space How can I circumvent regional restrictions in Google's Play Store? I'm travelling to country X. I want to install an application which isn't available in my country, but is available in country X; but I prefer to download and install it in advance, while the data connection is still cheap.  Unfortunately, the Play Stores does not allow me to install this app. Is there any way to circumvent this limitation? What and where are the stack and heap? Programming language books explain that value types are created on the stack, and reference types are created on the heap, without explaining what these two things are. I haven't read a clear explanation of this.  I understand what a stack is. But,    Where and what are they (physically in a real computer's memory)? To what extent are they controlled by the OS or language run-time? What is their scope? What determines the size of each of them? What makes one faster? One of my laptop's keys has fallen off. Is there any way I can remap another key to serve as that key?  I'll 'sacrifice' the other key because I never use it. When I create a UV sphere and add the subdivision surface modifier, the following wrinkle appears.    How can I avoid it?  I've read the article  but there seems to be no clear solution.  UPDATE 1  I've used the word 'apply' in the first sentence of the initial version of this question. It's misleading since I want to preserve the modifier without 'applying' it. Rather, what I meant is 'adding' the modifier.  UPDATE 2  I followed josh sanfelici's solution, but still there is an artifact at the pole.  Here is the screen: (A rendered view with a sun lamp)    Maybe it's the limitation of the general-purpose subdivision modifier.  BTW, when the cast modifier is added after the subdivision modifier, the sphere becomes perfect (even for my original wrinkled sphere).  But since I want to edit the resulting sphere (for example, scaling X, Y, etc) while modifier is added but not applied, it's not usable. Why do the Walking Dead Zombies only show intelligence in the very first episode? I enjoy The Walking Dead, however one question keeps nagging me. The 'Walkers' are always shown to not have any intelligence or memory of having been human. This is for all seasons except the very first one.  In the very first scene of Season One, Episode One, we see a little zombie girl stop to deliberately pick up a teddy bear from the ground.   Later in the same episode we see a zombie apparently try to turn the door knob to get into Morgen Jones' house.  Also at Atlanta they can climb fences and used rocks to break glass.  After season 1 I do not recall seeing any such intelligence demonstrated by a zombie again.  My question is: are these initial displays of intelligence a discrepancy in the story, or is there a plausible explanation why the Walkers performed these actions?
