I have run into this problem two days ago. The OS warns me that root has limited disk space:    So I would like to add more space to the root filesystem. These are the partitions I have:      sda9 : /home sda7 : / sda8 : swap  I would like to reduce the size of /dev/sda6 which is 70 GB in size,    How can I reduce the size of /dev/sda6 and convert it into free space? How can I add more space for /?
I have a dual boot setup with Ubuntu and Windows 7. I need to shrink my root Ubuntu volume in order to get some free space to create a new partition. Are there any Windows based tools that will do this for me? I tried booting up in gparted to do this but I cannot tell which partition is which since I cannot find the size (it displays everything in blocks).
Suppose $A$ and $B$ are similar matrices. Show that $A$ and $B$ have the same eigenvalues with the same geometric multiplicities.      Similar matrices: Suppose $A$ and $B$ are $n\times n$ matrices over $\mathbb R$ or $\mathbb C$. We say $A$ and $B$ are similar, or that $A$ is similar to $B$, if there exists a matrix $P$ such that $B = P^{-1}AP$. What is a good Photoshop book for photographers? I am interested in not too basic techniques (which I can more or less figure out by myself), which on the other hand give good results, without the need to be an expert pro. Quantum entanglement vs classical analogy Consider that we have two balls, one white and one black, and two distant observers A and B with closed eyes. We give the first ball to the observer A and the second ball to the observer B. The observers don't know the exact color (state) of their balls, they know only the probability of having one or another color, until they look at them (measure). If the observer A looks at his ball he will see its color, which is white, so he immediately knows the color of the second ball. Lets call this “classical entanglement”.  My question is: What is the difference between this “classical entanglement” and the quantum entanglement, for example, of two entangled electrons with opposite spins states? Can this analogy be used to explain the quantum entanglement? When using QuickLook to quickly look through multiple images (pressing space and then using the arrow keys to navigate), some images will not get displayed by QuickLook when hitting them up a second time (going back for example).   A GIF does a much better job than me showcasing the issue. So here's me previewing a few random images:    I have tried deleting   ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.QuickLookDaemon.plist ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.QuickLookDaemon/Cache.db ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.QuickLookDaemon32/Cache.db ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.quicklook.ui.helper  and restarting, unfortunately to no avail.  Repairing permissions and restarting the Finder in 32-bit mode, as suggested  by others, don't appear to have any effect on this issue either.  This happens with all kinds of images, no matter their source or format. I wandered too far to go look for sheep and now I'm on a completely different island.  How do I find my way back to my house? I am working on the problems from the textbook "Topology without tears". I am stuck with problem number $4$ in Exercise $2.2$. Could anyone suggest some hints on how to proceed? The question goes as follows.  A topological space $(X,\tau)$ is said to satisfy the second axiom of countability or to be second countable if there exists a basis $\mathcal{B}$ for $\tau$, where $\mathcal{B}$ consists of only a countable number of sets.   Prove that the discrete topology on an uncountable set does not satisfy the second axiom of countability. Let $(X,\tau)$ be the set of all integers with the finite-closed topology. Does the space $(X,\tau)$ satisfy the second axiom of countability?   For the first problem, I tried to argue by contradiction assuming that the basis for the topology is countable. But I did-not know what I need to look at to prove the contradiction. For the second one, I do not know where to start. I have not thought deeply on the second one though.  Thanks, Adhvaitha Listing, zebra effect and broken lines In , I've found one solution to produce a zebra effect for listing. Unfortunately, this only works if the lines are not broken.

We set them equal $x+O=x+O'$ and use the vector cancelling theorem to get $O=O'$, but how does this prove that the zero vector is unique? Print numbered paragraph after title with Biblatex My question is related with Biber and Biblatex (latest versions). I need to quote the number of a paragraph of an old Christian text which is published within a book printed nowadays.   More clearly, I'm working with this Biblatex item (it's in Italian):  @INBOOK{Clemente1984Lettera,   author = {Clemente di Roma},   title = {Lettera di Clemente Romano ai Corinti},   year = {1984},   booktitle = {I Padri apostolici},   editor = {Quaquarelli, Antonio},   location = {Roma},   pages = {41-92},   publisher = {Città Nuova} }   I quote it in a common LaTex file with the BibTex key:  \cite[42]{Clemente1985Lettera}   With a humanistic Biblatex style, the final citation is:  Clemente di Roma, Lettera di Clemente Romano ai Corinti, in "I Padri apostolici", edited by A. Quaquarelli, Roma 1985, p. 42.  Anyway, I need to quote specifically the n. 2 of the letter of Clement, so I have to print this number just after the title "Lettera di Clemente Romano ai Corinti". So, I'd like to have this citation:  Clemente di Roma, Lettera di Clemente Romano ai Corinti, n. 2, in "I Padri apostolici", edited by A. Quaquarelli, Roma 1985, p. 42.  Now, I can find no Biblatex field to store the "n. 2" text, and no way to print it after the title. Of course, I could create a specific item in the bibliographic file in which the title field, or another one which is supposed to follow it, contains the "n. 2" indication. Anyway, this solution is very bad to me, because I should fill my archive with items of specific citations, and not of single titles.  What I'm looking for is what I've already implemented in the Bibfilex citations system (), which is moreover far less powerful that Biber: the possibility to add a pipe in the postnote of a BibTex key to separate a possible indication of a number of a paragraph, to be printed just after the title, from the pages of the volume. So a key like that  \cite[2|42]{Clemente1985Lettera}   should print   Clemente di Roma, Lettera di Clemente Romano ai Corinti, n. 2, in "I Padri apostolici", edited by A. Quaquarelli, Roma 1985, p. 42.  Anybody knows how to do that with Biber and Biblatex?  Thanks. Noun for "receive"? Receipt?  Receiving?
