I have server with installed minimal "Ubuntu 14.04. server" on it. This server has no internet connection. How can I deliver on this machine packages like qemu-kvm, libvirt-bin, virtinst (with their deps, of course!). I only can ssh to this server. Is ubuntu have "everything dvd", like CentOS have, for example? Or, mb I can buil this dvd/cd by myself?
I have a friend who has got a computer that is not connected to the Internet. Is there any way to install software offline easily?
Functions vs. patterns Can the definite article be omitted when referring to a person qualified by a noun? I wrote a question about blocking certain characters in passwords. It became tremendously unpopular, and it seemed like everyone wanted to rain on my parade every day.  Eventually, I "got it," agreed completely with what people were saying to me, and just wanted to withdraw my question so that my reputation didn't slide even further downhill.  Unfortunately, the system is designed such that I can't withdraw my question or redeem myself. Instead, I just get daily reputation attacks. That's a terrible system, and it needs to be changed. access controller variable in javascript Is there any way to access controller variable set in a Method in Javascript. In the example above the value is set in constructor. But when I set it in a method it is showing as NULL in Javascript  In controller:  public class abc {     public string varA { get;set; }     public void fn(){         varA='hello';     } }   In VFPage:  function hello(){     var bool = '{!varA}';     alert(bool); }   The alert statement in the VF Page(i.e bool) is displayed as null. Can you please help how to access a variable set from a method instead of constructor? vector space dimension of linear varieties Suppose $Y=Z(f_1,\cdots ,f_r)\subseteq \mathbb{A}^n_k$ where each $f_i$'s are linear homogeneous polynomials which are $k$-linear independent. Then $Y$ is also a vector space over $k$. My question: Is the vector space dimension of $Y$ is same as the dimension of $Y$ as an affine variety? If yes how?    Thank you. The usage of singular and plural has always been confusing for me.   I often see sentences like these         People are using cell phones.   People are using a cell phone.      Does the first sentence mean everyone has a phone and they are all using their own?  Does the second sentence mean they are sharing one cell phone?   If I see a group of people holding a cell phone in their hand(s), &lt;- even this is confusing for me, should I use the first sentence then?   Another example: you see two men, and both of them are carrying a bag. Which sentence should I say/use?        They are carrying backpacks          They are carrying a backpack      Could you please make it clear for me?

My Situation:   About $36k USD in graduate student loans.  There are 4 different federal loans in play, each with a fixed rate of 6.8%.   $12k w/ ~$1.2k in unpaid interest  $10k w/ ~$1k in unpaid interest  $8k w/ no unpaid interest (all principal) $6k w/ no unpaid interest (all principal)  All loans are in repayment. Some loans are subsidized, some are not. This no longer matters now that they're all in repayment though, right?     Is there a most cost efficient way to pay these loans off?  Should the interest be ignored for now on the ones that have $1k in unpaid interest for the time being, because payments to the other two loans will will go directly to principal (minus the monthly compounded interest of course)?  On the surface, I would assume that since they're all the same interest rate, it doesn't really matter, but I'm not sure how the accrued interest would factor in. I'm not interested in psychological wins like debt snowballing. I'm looking for the route that will have me paying the least. Since the  would it make sense to create a Stack Exchange site dedicated to homework help? It wouldn't have to be limited strictly to homework either, possibly including discussions of puzzles and brain teasers and possible approaches to solving them.  I have a programming background so I would be interested in helping with CS or math related homework, discussions of programming contest problems, etc. Topics don't necessarily have to be related to programming either. That's just where my interests are.  What are your thoughts? What is the difference between a linear and a circular polarizer? When I bought my polarizer, a friend told me that I should get a circular one, because the linear ones can mess with the autofocus. Is this true? What should each be used for? Massless charged particles maximal ideal not containing some expression For every $g\in G$ there exists an $h\in G$ such that $g = h^3$ Let G be a finite group whose order is not divisible by $3$.

Under following Link  i found the note:        Texture slots for materials, lamps and world were removed. They remain   for brushes, particles and freestyle linestyles.      So my question is where do i find this property now or how could i change my code to get things done?  Thanks for your help!  EDIT:  This seems to be an interesting link for people run in to issues by updating their scripts to 2.8. Unfortunately there is no solution for my problem listed, yet. Linear mixed effect model vs. Ordered Probit vs. Ordered Logit with ordinal response I have a set of data with an ordinal response ranging from 1-5 (worst to best) and a categorical predictor with five unordered levels. The experiment is a language experiment whereby subjects are asked to rate different sentence types. In the literature it seems that people fit lmer() most of the time by scaling the ordinal response per subject (i.e. taking the mean response and standard deviation of that subject and dividing the every single response by it.). On the other hand, it seems a reasonable approach to use ordered linear mixed effects probit models or ordered linear mixed effects logit models as implemented in e.g. MCMCglmm() or clmm().  (1) I find myself asking what the best method would be. When is one method to be prefered over the other in an experiment as I have sketched above?  (2) Why do people prefer fitting an lmer() model with a scaled response? What is the advantage?  (3) If it is advisable to use an ordered probit or logit model, how do I decide between an ordered probit or ordered logit model?  Thanks for any help! When is partial differentiation commutitive Consider a function: $$f:\mathbb R ^2\to\mathbb R $$ when does $$\dfrac {\partial f(x,t)}{\partial t\partial x}=\dfrac {\partial f(x,t)}{\partial x\partial t}$$  Thinking about it in terms of the limit definition of derivative,  and thinking about it as taking slices of surfaces and measuring the slope on the edge, seems to be giving me the feeling that answer is always.  However I have some memories of there being requirements like piecewise continuous, and smooth.   What is the full set of conditions? Received an email intended for another person I'm not really sure how email routing works, but someone ordered something on Amazon and I received the email instead of them.  Or maybe we both got it, I don't know.  The order doesn't show up in my account, so I'm certain I wasn't charged for it, but I shouldn't be getting other peoples' emails.  We'll say that my email is johndoe1@gmail.com, and somebody who's email is john.doe1@gmail.com places an order on Amazon.  The confirmation email is sent to me at johndoe1@gmail.com.  I checked the email header, and it did say To: john.doe1@gmail.com which is not my email address.  At first I thought that Google ignores periods in email addresses, but I tested the account setup and it doesn't give any error when you put a period in the address.  I didn't create the account; I just used the "check availability" function and the address I chose with a period was fine.  Maybe someone with knowledge about how Email works could tell me why this happened.  Is this a bug in the way Amazon sends emails?  Or is it a bug in how Google receives them?  Who should I report this issue to? Why are American-style options worth more than European-style options? Why are American-style options worth more than European-style options?   I realize I can exercise American-style options anytime before the  expire, but I can only exercise European-style options during their  "exercise period" (usually right when they expire, but no earlier).   So it makes sense that an American option is worth at least as much as  a European option.   But why is it worth more? If I exercise my American option early, I  may make more money than waiting until expiration, but I also may make  less. Mathematically, there's no advantage, since I'm equally likely  to make as much money by waiting for expiration.   Mathematically speaking, is there ever a good reason to exercise an  American option early?   I realize people don't always behave logically, but even the formulas  that valuate options show that American options are worth more.   EDIT (answering comments):    Many of the comments people made would apply to lookback options  (), but not to American  options.  American options can do everything European options can and more. I  understand that, and that means American options can't be worth any  LESS than European options, but I'm still not clear on how you would  mathematically calculate this extra value.  @Aaronaught: "The difference between an American and European  option is the difference between getting N chances to get it right (N  being the number of days 'til expiration) and getting just one  chance. It should be easy to see why you're more likely to profit  with the former, even if you can't accurately predict price  movement."    REPLY: I don't think you really get N chances. Once you exercise the  option, that's it, no more chances. And, if you decide not to exercise  the option today, and the underlying's price falls, you can't go back  in time and exercise it yesterday.    @jdsweet: Think of it this way, if you traveled back through time  one month - with perfect knowledge of AAPL's stock price over that  period - which happens to peak viciously then return to its old price  at the end of the period - wouldn't you pay more for an American  option?    REPLY: Well, no. I'd simply buy a cheaper European option that expires  right at the spike. Or, I'd buy a European option that expires later,  and sell it when the spike occurs. American options don't give you  precognition, so you're still guessing as to when to sell/exercise.    @jdsweet: "one of the more common reasons people exercise (as  opposed to sell) an American option before expiration is if an  unexpected dividend (larger than remaining time value of the option)  was just announced that's going to be paid before the option contract  expires"    REPLY: This makes sense. I'm actually trading FOREX options, so there  is no dividend. In that scenario, are European and American options  worth the same? How to Flatten a Multidimensional Array?
