For some baffling reason, Apple thinks that whatever I search for in one app will be the same thing that I want to search for in another app.  This results in my actual search terms being overwritten in (for example) my text editor just because I searched for something on a web page or in iTunes.  Having my carefully-craft regex replaced with "Pink Floyd" is aggravating, to say the least, especially when using a text editor without a search history. The user-interface thinking that led Apple to this decision is beyond my ability to comprehend, but I really would like a way to turn it off.  How can I disable this?  PS:  raises a similar question but the answer offered there only applies to the specific scenario of the question, and to BBEdit as an application. I‘m looking for a way to control this behavior in general.
On my MacBook Pro I have found that several applications seem to share the value for a find.  For example, I searched 'applestackexchange' in Safari's unified address bar, then I switch to Xcode and click into a Find field.  The first word of my search in Safari then appears there.  iTerm2 and Sublime Text 2 also seem to participate in this sharing.  Running latest Mountain Lion on  a 2012 MBP.

I frequently find myself writing code like this:  List&lt;int&gt; list = new List&lt;int&gt; { 1, 3, 5 }; foreach (int i in list) {     Console.Write("{0}\t", i.ToString()); } Console.WriteLine();   Better would be something like this:  List&lt;int&gt; list = new List&lt;int&gt; { 1, 3, 5 }; Console.WriteLine("{0}\t", list);   I suspect there's some clever way of doing this, but I don't see it. Does anybody have a better solution than the first block? How do I limit the running time of a BASH script I have a long running BASH script that I am running under CYGWIN on Windows.  I would like to limit the script to run for 30 seconds, and automatically terminate if it exceeds this limit. Ideally, I'd like to be able to do this to any command.  For example:  sh-3.2$ limittime -t 30 'myscript.sh'   or   sh-3.2$ limittime -t 30 'grep func *.c'   Under cygwin the ulimit command doesn't seem to work.   I am open to any ideas. Realtek RTL8723be doesn't have good reception Only when I'm closer to the router, it shows any signal, but when I'm just little far from it, it is not showing wifi routers signals. Let G be a group, where $(ab)^3=(a^3)(b^3)$ and $(ab)^5=(a^5)(b^5)$. Prove that $G$ is abelian group.  Thank you in advance. Any help is appreciated. What would I prefer - an over-fitted model or a less accurate model? Let's say we have two models trained. And let's say we are looking for good accuracy.  The first has an accuracy of 100% on training set and 84% on test set. Clearly over-fitted. The second has an accuracy of 83% on training set and 83% on test set.   On the one hand, model #1 is over-fitted but on the other hand it still yields better performance on an unseen test set than the good general model in #2.   Which model would you choose to use in production? The First or the Second and why? How can I manage computers using my Firefox Sync account? I`m using Firefox Sync on a bunch of computers.

Configuring, compiling and installing a custom Linux kernel How do I install python imaging library (PIL)? How do I install the python imaging library (PIL) on Ubuntu?  I tried doing  sudo apt-get install python-imaging   but now when i run     python selftest.py (a script I got from somewhere on the  website) I get (among other warning messages):  ... *** JPEG support not installed *** ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support not installed ... *** 1 tests of 57 failed.   Have I somehow messed up the PIL -- how do I fix that?  Is maybe the PIL just fine, but that "selftest.py" is not really the right program for checking to see if PIL is installed properly -- how else can I tell if PIL is installed properly or not?  (I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin").  (What I'm ultimately trying to do is to add a 2D barcode generator to some python code, and all the 2D barcode generators I could find that were written in python all seemed to use the PIL).

How do I copy a string to the clipboard? Group of order $8p$ is solvable, for any prime $p$ Consider the following question:     Show that a group $G$ of order $8p$ is solvable, for any prime $p$.   I am kind of stuck, but here are my first attempts:  I chose the series of subroups $G&gt;H_8&gt;H_4&gt;H_2&gt;H_1=\{e\}$ where $H_k$ has order $k$. All of these subgroups exist due to Sylow's Theorems. We have the quotients $H_8/H_4\cong H_4/H_2 \cong H_2/H_1 \cong \mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z$, so $G&gt;H_8\rhd H_4\rhd H_2\rhd H_1=\{e\}$. Only the factor $G/H_8 \cong \mathbb Z/p\mathbb Z$ is causing me a headache, because although its of prime order (and hence abelian) I don't know whether $H_8$ is normal in $G$ (unless $p=2$).  If $p\ne 2$, then the number $k$ of Sylow $2$-subgroups is $1$ mod $2$. Since $k$ divides $|G|$ we might have $k=1$ or $k=p$. If we had $k=1$ then $H_8$ would be the only Sylow $2$-subgroup (and hence normal in $G$). But how could we show this?  Or is there even an easier way to approach this problem?  $\ $  edit: I am going to try a different approach: The case $p=2$ is clear. When $p=3$ or $p=7$ the group has order 24 or 56 and since the smallest simple non-abelian group has order 60, the group must also be solvable in these exceptional cases (as Mariano pointed out).  In any other case we get a Sylow $p$-subgroup $H_p$ of order $p$, which is is normal in $G$. The quotient $G/H_p$ has order $8=2^3$; and prime power order implies solvable. So $G/H_p$ is solvable and $H_p$ is also solvable. And since the composition factors of $G$ are those of $H_p$ together with those of $G/H_p$, we conclude that $G$ is solvable iff $H_p$ and $G/H_p$ are solvable, which is the case. Hence $G$ is solvable if $|G|=8p$. Where to ask Question that can be flagged too broad or opinion based What are Click packages?
