I want to turn a laptop into a desktop computer by connecting it to a monitor and mouse &amp; keyboard, however, it is very annoying to have to open and close the lid every time i want to turn it on... is there anything i can do to turn it on externally, like a usb power button or extend the existing button outside the computer. Of course, i could remove the creen, but it would be a pitty to remove a perfectly working screen just to gain access to the power button :) haha!  I would ideally like to place it under the screen, closed lid, which would make it even more inconvinient to open and close to turn on...
I had a problem with the laptop lid so I am using it with an external monitor. I was wondering if there is any way to power on the laptop without opening the lid, that is through ports.  Laptop: Dell Inspiron 1525
I've got a very small coefficient (-0.04) and R-squared (0.028) but a significant P value (&lt;0.0001). My question is:   Is my result still meaningful? How to interpret it?   The result is from a linear regression model in a big database in R.  The independent variable (B) has more than 200 values, whereas the dependent variable (A) has 13 values.   The potential correlation is below:   So, I ran a linear regression model between A and B and the result is:  &gt;mod1&lt;-lm(A~B)          Call:         lm(formula = A ~ B)           Residuals:              Min      1Q  Median      3Q     Max           -63.174 -11.816  -1.651  10.184 118.001            Coefficients:                        Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(&gt;|t|)              (Intercept) 132.274547   0.303723 435.511  &lt; 2e-16 ***          B            -0.036675   0.009052  -4.052 5.13e-05 ***          ---         Signif. codes:  0 ‘***’ 0.001 ‘**’ 0.01 ‘*’ 0.05 ‘.’ 0.1 ‘ ’ 1          Residual standard error: 18.52 on 8093 degrees of freedom            (123 observations deleted due to missingness)         Multiple R-squared:  0.002024,  Adjusted R-squared:  0.001901          F-statistic: 16.42 on 1 and 8093 DF,  p-value: 5.134e-05   As you can see, the coefficient of B is only -0.03 and adjusted R squared is only 0.1% but with a p value &lt;0.0001. Is my result reasonable and countable? Surely, my database is larger (8000 records) and even a very small effect size will show a significant P value. But how would I interpret this? I have always recommended pressing ALT+F2 and typing for example gksu nautilus or gksudo nautilus both are equivalent; to run graphical programs with root privileges.  However, I have just installed raring on a test system and this no longer works.  gksu and gksudo are not installed as part of a default raring install; though they are in the repositories. In 12.04 at least gksudo was just a symbolic link to gksu  The reasons I have always done this are because while it is often safe to use sudo under some circumstances it can cause problems with graphical applications because gksu has you running the program as root while with sudo you are running as yourself but with elevated privileges.  This can mean you inadvertently change the owner of critical system files.  This can cause problems.  This reasoning is explained better here:         Why was command removed from a fresh install and what should we be using instead? Is there a way to show the history of packages that were changed by apt-get via command line? How to create an index map of atlas features in QGIS 3? I realise that this question has been asked before (), however I am still unable to figure out how to create an index map of atlas features in the QGIS map composer.  Basically, I have a line and I have five atlas maps showing the extent of the line, and to show where which map corresponds to the line a I need five overviews on a map with numbers on them, which will look similar to below:    I've created five overviews, but as all of these must be set to correspond to the main map frame, all of them show the overview for which ever atlas feature is selected at the time, rather than appearing as separate index tiles.  Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong? I often use  to keep my sentences gender neutral. Many of my friends (none of them are native speakers), however, consider this to be grammatically incorrect, and suggest me not to use it in formal English exams.  My questions are:   Is singular they widely accepted in English speaking countries such as America and Britain? Is it formal enough to be used in formal situations, such as a public speech? Is it casual enough to be used in informal situations, such as gossiping among friends? What is the best way to remove and prevent leaf stains on concrete pavers? How do I make a bootable USB OS X installer on a Mac? Does anyone have a Terminal command-line recipe for making a new bootable USB flash drive for one of the new MacBook Air's?  Is there a way to dd copy the USB boot device that comes in the box and make the new copy bootable?  I'd like to make a new backup copy of the USB rescue device for my MBA, preferably on a much larger flash drive with room for a backup of some of my working directories.  Added:  And is it possible to make, not just a rescue drive, but a bootable USB drive that will boot a fully updated version of the OS (say 10.6.8 or later)?  If so how on a MacBook Air 11, and how big a USB stick will this require? Using Mosfet with seperate Logic Converter and Arduino I am trying to use an IRLB3034 with an Arduino even though it is not a logic level MOSFET. I am planning on using an LM2937 12v regulator like the schematic below:    The connection going off the page goes to an Arduino digital pin pulled down with a 10k resistor. I assumed this would work but wanted to check. As a side note, if anyone could recommend a similar MOSFET that could handle 200a and 40v (in TH) that would be great. (Only if such thing excists or is readily available)  EDIT: I have not made it clear what I am planning on using this for so I will now. It is to drive an airsoft motor and I want to use the LM2937 because I didn't think I could turn the mosfet on and off with the arduinos 5v - because the IRLB3034 isn't a logic level mosfet - so that is the reason I added the 12v regulator.  EDIT (Sorry for the previous incorrect name)  EDIT: Unfortunately, I have made a mistake, the current is not 200 amps, it is infact 30-40 amps. I don't know how I made this mistake but I think it will be helpful for people trying to follow along. I am currently trying to use busbars/6awg copper wire to carry the high-ish current around. (Only 40 amps now though)  EDIT: This question is different because it is asking how to convert 5v to 12v to run a mosfet rather then how to use a mosfet with an arduino in the best way like the other post. The accepted answer on this post also answers the other question though. Best way to list files in Java, sorted by Date Modified? I want to get a list of files in a directory, but I want to sort it such that the oldest files are first.  My solution was to call File.listFiles and just resort the list based on File.lastModified, but I was wondering if there was a better way.  Edit: My current solution, as suggested, is to use an anonymous Comparator:  File[] files = directory.listFiles();  Arrays.sort(files, new Comparator&lt;File&gt;(){     public int compare(File f1, File f2)     {         return Long.valueOf(f1.lastModified()).compareTo(f2.lastModified());     } }); Remotely uninstall apps? I have tried through the Google Play store and it does not seem possible from there, but does anyone know if it is possible to remove an application remotely?   In other words, if I do not have direct access to my phone, can I make use of some website, app or service to uninstall an app without being able to interact with the phone directly. Who are responsible for pushing out the OTA updates? There are many parties involved in an Android phone. My question is who is responsible for the OTA updates of my phone. Is it the manufacturer, the phone service provider or Google?  I thought this answer could be answered generally but maybe not. My phone is the Galaxy Nexus i9250 witch is manufactured by Samsung. How can I change the page URL without refreshing the page? I flagged a post today, typed out a fairly thorough explanation, clicked the button... and got told that I'd already flagged this post (for something else, which I'd forgotten about) so this flag wasn't allowed.  (This happens if the first flag is still active.)  The dialogue with my explanation was gone at this point, so if I wanted to communicate with the moderators about that, I was going to have to start over.  (In case you're wondering how this could happen, one flag was related to the post itself and one was related to the user -- there being no way to flag a user directly, you have to hang it off of a post.  But I've also seen this with cases where the first flag hangs around unhandled for a week or two and I've forgotten about it.)  Since the system is going to detect that I've already flagged a post and reject a second flag, can it do that after I click the "flag" link instead of waiting until the end of the process?  (Or gray out the link so I can't click it in the first place?)  2015-12-18: someone suggested to me in chat today that this had been implemented, so I tested again.  The behavior has not changed: I flagged a post using "other", then flagged it again (also "other") before the first flag was handled, and the flag was rejected only after I'd typed the message.  (I did this on a site where I'm a moderator so I could then clean up after myself.) How Triangle Law and Parallelogram law of addition of Vectors are different?Ain't they.

I have searched but can't find a solution. Photons have no mass but they can push things, as evidenced by .   Can photons push the source which is emitting them? If yes, will a more intense flashlight accelerate me more? Does the wavelength of the light matter? Is this practical for space propulsion? Doesn't it defy the law of momentum conservation?  Note: As John Rennie mentioned, all in all the wavelength doesn't matter, but for a more accurate answer regarding that, see the comments in  .  Related Wikipedia articles: , How to work around Eclipse Luna/GTK bug 339174 (change to not use oxygen) The bug is described here:  For me it fails with:  java: /build/buildd/oxygen-gtk3-1.0.2/src/animations/oxygencomboboxdata.cpp:87: void Oxygen::ComboBoxData::setButton(GtkWidget*): Assertion `!_button._widget' failed.

Thanks for any input in advance. I have an ex who has posted nude photos of me online in the past, linked to my online social media, and posted my full name and where I live. I am concerned he may do so again once he finds out I'm now in a PhD program (he's very jealous of any success I have), and may link to my school bio page, or worse.   Revenge porn is illegal in my state, and the case against him is currently pending. I have also gotten the photos taken down with a DMCA letter (I hold the copyright over the photos in question). At this point, I am concerned with how a future attempt could affect my career.  I can handle the embarrassment now that I've been through it once, so if that's the biggest concern, I can deal. I just don't want to lose a career over it, given how small academia really is and how a reputation might follow one around.  My question is, if I don't change my name (I've considered this, assuming I can keep him from finding out) and my photos are circulated and discovered by faculty or students, how likely am I to be thrown out of my PhD program or later lose a job as an untenured prof? Is a name change worth it?
