What is the maximum distance one of Tony Stark's Iron Man suits can fly for without having to stop to recharge?
In the Iron Man movie Tony flies the Iron Man armour from Miami to Afghanistan, roughly 7800 miles.    What is the maximum range of the Iron Man armour?   What sort of speed does the armour cruise at?  How long would the flight from Miami to Afghanistan have taken?   Could Iron Man circumnavigate the globe without stopping, and how long might this journey take him?   EDIT: Just found this (funny) image, New York to Washington in under an hour?!? :)
Sometimes, I find that it is useful to do a Clay Render for my model, where all of the materials render with a single common "clay"-like material (see example image below). In the past, I have done this by:   Selecting all of my objects by using the A hotkey Manually deselecting the World object, camera, and lights in the Outliner Linking materials using Ctrl+L Manually setting to the same material in the Properties>Materials menu Render like normal   When I was done with my Clay render, I would revert to the old version by pressing Ctrl+Z a few time. However, this is a rather clunky solution, since I can't make any edits in the clay version without losing my old materials/textures data.  Is there a better way to do Clay renders, either with an addon or through some other technique such that I can make edits to my model and not lose my materials? If at all possible, I would like a single setting that allows me to quickly toggle clay-mode on and off in the same file.  Example "Clay Render": How to easily build your own Linux Distro? I wanted to have a go at creating my very own Linux Distribution. Could you suggest some nice and easy-to-follow tutorials (preferably text based and not videos). I have heard something about Arch Linux but I don't know how to go from there. What do I need? How far can you go with rm -rf / as root I have heard several times that some mathematician has given another and more rigorous for an established theorem, but I don't know what does it really mean and what differences makes it to be more 'rigorous'. My understanding of a proof is that a proof is some explanation to convincing others that a statement is true. If some proof is not rigorous, does it mean that while the proof is acceptable for many but it is not for everybody? If so, the proof is not correct since it going to be rejected by some people and it is not a proof at all. Or, does rigorous mean it uses more advanced tools? If so, why not any alternative (but simpler) proof is also acceptable as rigorous (which is more 'valuable' as well since it's simpler!)?   Saying those limited insight of mine, my questions are:   $1-$ What does rigorous proof mean, in general definition?  $2-$ In order to understand your answers, as an example I am re-writing three of the proofs for the compactness of the torus. Which of the following proofs are most rigorous, 'normal' and least rigorous; and why so?    Theorem: The torus $T^2$ is compact.  First proof: The torus is homeomorphic to the product space $S^1 \times S^1$. The circle $S^1$ is compact. Therefore the torus is the product of two compact spaces, and thus it is compact.   Second proof: The torus $T$ is the subspace of $\mathbb{R}^3$ obtained by rotating a circle about the $z$-axis. The torus is closed since given any point in its complement, there is an open ball of sufficiently small radius centered at that point and disjoint from the torus. Also, the torus is bounded since it is contained in the ball of radius $4$ centered at the origin. Since the torus is closed and bounded in $\mathbb{R}^3$, it is compact.   Third proof: The torus is homeomorphic to a space obtained as a quotient  space of the square by identifying opposite edges. The square is a closed and  bounded subset of $\mathbb{R}^3$ and therefore is compact. Furthermore, a quotient map on the square is a continuous function, and the image of a compact space under a continuous function is compact. Therefore the torus is compact.   Thanks a lot for your guidance. How to download Bootcamp drivers without Bootcamp assistant? What are the units of entropy of a normal distribution? I have a random process that follows a normal distribution. It's parameters are mean = 35 units, std.dev. = 8 units. I've seen from the  for the normal distribution that there is a formula to calculate the entropy. So plugging in the figures as:- $$     .5\log\left(2\pi e^1 8\cdot 8\right) $$ I get a value of 1.52, which I take to be  per sample.  My question is what are these units?  What thing do I have 1.52 of?    is (typically) measured in units of bits, after Claude Shannon's definition.  So can I take it that each sample generates 1.52 bits of entropy?  Clearly recording those samples generates information and therefore occupies a real and discrete amount of storage space. Ergo entropy cannot be unit less. How do you run a 32-bit program on a 64-bit version of Ubuntu? I have a 64-bit version of Ubuntu 13.10.  I want to run a 32-bit version of a program.  However I see ia32-libs is not included in 13.10.  Is there a replacement package for this or what? What's the canonical way to check for type in Python? I'm new to LaTeX and I'm trying to figure out how to correctly format a proof. Can someone show me a basic template for how to do this?   The part I am having the most trouble with is creating new columns and customizing alignment... for instance, how do I add a right-aligned annotation (i.e. by distributive property) to a line of this sample proof? Should I use eqnarray* or is there a better option?  \begin{proof}   Let $t,u \in \mathbb{R}$ where $t=xy$ and $u=zw$. So,   \begin{eqnarray*}     4xyzw &amp;=&amp; 2\cdot2tu \\     &amp;\le&amp; 2\cdot(t^2+u^2) \\     &amp;=&amp; 2\cdot((xy)^2+(zw)^2) \\     &amp;=&amp; 2\cdot(x^2y^2+z^2w^2) \\     &amp;=&amp; 2x^2y^2+2z^2w^2 \\     &amp;\le&amp; ((x^2)^2+(y^2)^2)+((z^2)^2)+(w^2)^2) \\     &amp;=&amp; x^4+y^4+z^4+w^4   \end{eqnarray*} \end{proof} How to change password complexity requirements in Ubuntu 14.04LTS I’m looking for a word I’m struggling to remember that refers to a job or role which is inconsequential and usually created in order to install someone in a company, not based on their merit.  An example would be creating a vague new role for a friend’s son. The word I’m looking for refers to the actual job itself - it’s a noun that would replace the ‘job’ (e.g “they put so and so’s cousin in a ____”).   I believe the word may not be a strictly formal or technical word but I don’t think it was slang. Is there any matrix $2\times 2$ such that $A\neq I$ but $ A^3=I$? Is there any $2 \times 2$ matrix $A \neq I$ such that $A^3=I$?  In my opinion: no. Thank you very much. What could cause java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException?

MWE:  \documentclass[a4paper,12pt,twoside]{memoir} \usepackage{DejaVuSerifCondensed} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \begin{document} \noindent\scshape{Hello World}\\ \textsc{Hello World} \end{document}   Explanation and question:  As you can see, I am working with a memoir document class and I've load a font DejaVuSerifCondensed, I am trying to obtain small caps for my header (which I did not place in the MWE as unnecessary). However I can't obtain the desire effect with the \scshape command nor with the \textsc{}.  I've seen other questions like     .   But either they do not adapt to my problem (for what I can see) or they do not solve the problem (following the instructions there and "inserting" the piece of code in mine).  Question here is: is there a general method (piece of code or something) to obtain small caps from a custom font (even if that is one I upload with a ttf)?, if not, what would be the piece of code to select the standard small caps font? Where did Harry's parents get all of their money from? So, at the beginning of Harry Potter, Harry is found to have a large vault of gold at Gringotts. Where did all of that money come from? What did James (I assume it came from him, as Lily was muggle-born, and they were both young) do to get all of that cash? Windows does not mount USB NTFS superfloppy I have a Transcend Storejet external USB hard disk. This is not an SSD, but a mechanical disk with rotating plates. I have formatted the whole disk, without partitioning, as NTFS. I have used mkntfs tool under Linux.  When plugged into a Linux machine, the system sees a drive with two partitions (/dev/sdc /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdc2). However, as I know it is a partitionless disk, I can mount the whole device (mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc /mnt) and it works without any problems.  When plugged into a MS Windows XP machine, the systems sees a disk with two unformatted partitions, and it does not assign a drive letter to either the whole disk, nor to any of the partitions.  Would anyone know how to get MS Windows to mount my disk as a NTFS superfloppy?  I have already tried removing old USB mounting points and residual devices using 'DriveCleanup'. It did not help.  By the way, I also have an external Kingston USB SSD, also formatted as NTFS superfloppy, without partitioning. However, this one is recognized and mounted normally by MS Windows. How to fix infinite bash loop (bashrc + bash_profile) when ssh-ing into an ec2 server? I mistakenly have source .bash_profile in the bashrc file and vice versa. Now when I tried to ssh into the machine (ec2), it will stuck at loading bash and get connection closed in a second. Is there a way I could fix it? Could I mount the disk to another ec2 instance to fix the bash files?

Let a be a positive number. Then $\lim_{n \to \infty}[\frac{1}{a+n}+\frac{1}{2a+n}+\cdots +\frac{1}{na+n}]$ Usage of "but" in a sentence. I'm reading Robinson Crusoe and came across many of these constructions with "but" in it. I can't help but thought they were a little unusual. I don't consider myself fluent in English, that's why I ask.  Here is an example:     This I saw no remedy for but by making an enclosure about it with a   hedge; which I did with a great deal of toil, and more, because it   required speed.   Second one:      However, as my arable land was but small, suited to my crop, I got   it totally well fenced in about three weeks' time;   By typing the second out I figured it is actually the normal textbook case of "but", just an, in my opinion, screwed ordering in the sentence. Is this what it means?     However, as my arable land was suited to my crop but small, I got it   totally well fenced in about three weeks time;   Why did the author do this? Can you comment on the first sentence too? It's not a textbook-but-usage as I see it.
