I can get a list of drives plugged into a computer with File.listRoots(), but I only get the drive letter.  How can I get the actual name of the drive (e.x. "Local Disk", "DVD RW Drive", etc.) as it's shown in Windows Explorer?
On my Windows machine, my main hard drive has the letter C: and the name "Local disk".   To list the drive letters in Java on Windows, the File object has the static listRoots() method. But I can't find a way to acquire the drive names (as opposed to the drive letters) on Windows.  Has anyone tried this before?
Custom hard edges in Blender Discuss convergence of the series $\sum \frac{(1+n)^n}{n!}x^n$. Let    $$a_n = \dfrac{(1+n)^n}{n!}$$   Discuss convergence of the series $\displaystyle \sum a_nx^n$.   I've shown that the series converges absolutely when |x| &lt; 1/e and diverged when |x| > 1/e. I can't seem to determine what happens at |x| = 1/e What is postselection in quantum computing? A quantum computer can efficiently solve problems lying in the complexity class . I have seen a claim the one can (potentially, because we don't know whether BQP is a proper subset or equal to PP) increase the efficiency of a quantum computer by applying postselection and that the class of efficiently solvable problems becomes now postBQP = .  What does postselection mean here? Does Earth's Rotation Affect Its Shape? The question I am working on is, &quot;Consider the following. (a) Find the angular speed of Earth's rotation about its axis. rad/s (b) How does this rotation affect the shape of Earth?&quot;  I am fully capable of solving part (a); however, I am not sure how to describe the effect earth's rotation on its shape. I tried to search my textbook for the answer, but could not find anything. Is there an actual effect on the shape? I'm trying to identify fantasy book series I encountered some time ago. Here are things I remember:   it was a fantasy setting but with some s-f elements; with many worlds and possibility to travel between them; resembling  setting a little, the two main races were non-human and probably hostile to each other,  a labyrinth (?), which somehow played an important role in the plot, a protagonist was some kind of emissary and was sent on a mission to another worlds  time period: 80s - 90s    Does anyone know what it is the name of the series? Deleted Partition Recovery I was installing ubuntu 12.04 on my system. There were 4 partitions on my system and I selected one of the four partition for the installation and chose the option of resizing the partition. Initially my partition was of size 100+GB and i created another partition out of it of size 15GB (EXT4). Now the moment I changed this partition structure my original partition got lost along with its data and I am left with 50GB partition and 50GB unallocated free space.   Now the data that I have lost is meant a lot to me and I want to recover that data. So is there any way I can recover it? And I haven't checked "format" option while resizing the partition.

Is there a slowest rate of divergence of a series? $$f(n)=\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{1}{i}$$ diverges slower than $$g(n)=\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{1}{\sqrt{i}}$$ , by which I mean $\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}(g(n)-f(n))=\infty$. Similarly, $\ln(n)$ diverges as fast as $f(n)$, as $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}(f(n)-\ln(n))=\gamma$, so they 'diverge at the same speed'.   I think there are an infinite number of 'speeds of divergence' (for example, $\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{1}{i^k}$ diverge at different rates for different $k&lt;1$). However, is there a slowest speed of divergence?  That is, does there exist a divergent series, $s(n)$, such that for any other divergent series $S(n)$, the limit $\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}(S(n)-s(n))=\infty$ or $=k$? If so, are there an infinite number of these slowest series? Debugging scripts, what is the difference between -x to set -euxo pipefail? The main way I know to debug scripts is adding -x to the shabang (#!/bin/bash -x).  I recently came across a new way, adding set -euxo pipefail right under the shabang, as in:  #!/bin/bash set -euxo pipefail   What is the main difference between the two ways of debugging?

I was solving a question which technically reduces to the following     Given $N$ items, it is equiprobable for each item to be good or bad, what is the probability that number of good items in the set are greater than or equal to $K$.   This can be reduced to $\dfrac{x}{2^n}$ where $\displaystyle x = \sum_{p = k}^{n} \binom{n}{p}$. Is there a more simplified form which is easier to calculate for large values of $N, K$?  Note: It may be safe to assume that we do not require extremely high precision while calculating(first 5-10 digits only).  Thanks! Explanation that air drag is proportional to speed or square speed? Logging in as the same user multiple times in Remote Desktop Windows Server 2008 Quick question: I have a situation where I need to let multiple people on different PCs log into one server 2008 machine as administrator simultaneously over remote desktop. I have the CALs for it, it's just not set up correctly. When one user tries to log in, it boots the other out. What I need is to present to them a different session, just each as logged in as admin.
