I know that Intel has a tool that will tell you what ME firmware version you are on, but I need to be able to determine from files, registry entries, or services which firmware version of ME a windows computer has. Is that possible? Furthermore, is it possible to detect if its provisioned or not, outside of a custom tool (again, using files, reg entries, or services)?    This is not a dupe. Detecting Intel ME firmware version on *nix is not the same as detecting it on Windows.
I just heard about the . I'd like to update my firmware, but I don't use Windows/OSX. How can I find out what version of Intel ME I have and how do I update it?
Is it possible to save `bc` command line history? bash has a handy file .bash_history in which it saves the history of commands and on the next execution of bash the history is populated with saved commands. Is it possible to save bc command history to a file in the same way and then load it on startup so that bc history is preserved? I tried reading  and it mentions readline and libedit. From ldd /usr/bin/bc I see mine uses readline and readline has  and read_history functions. Is this functionality implemented in bc or to do it I'll need to patch bc? Filling a polygon with a pattern of insets Initializing K-means centers by the means of random subsamples of the dataset? If I have a certain dataset, how smart would it be to initialize cluster centers using means of random samples of that dataset?  For example, suppose I want 5 clusters. I take 5 random samples of say, size=20% of the original dataset. Could I then take the mean of each of these 5 random samples and use those means as my 5 initial cluster centers? I don't know where I read this but I wanted to know what you guys think about the idea.    UPDATE: Please see this thread  for the general discussion about the various initialization methods. Short example of regular expression converted to a state machine? How to evaluate this trigonometric limit? I have been struggling to solve this limit.  What is the limit as $x$ approaches $45^0$ of $$\frac{\sqrt{2}\cos x-1}{\cot x-1}?$$   I know how to use L'Hospital's rule to calculate this limit and got the answer as $0.5$. But, how do I calculate the limit by manipulating the function? Please provide only some hints to proceed. When quoting a quotation, how do you handle the double quotes? Assume there is original source text:     This restaurant is amazing with "delicious lasagna" and great service.   Make sure you go 6-7pm for the quietest times.   I want to quote "delicious lasagna" but not sure how to handle the outer double quotes.  If I was quoting more than just that quotation (e.g. is amazing with "delicious lasagna" and great service) I'd just do:     "...is amazing with 'delicious lasagna' and great service."   However, when quoting just that quotation, it looks like:     "'delicious lasagna'"   Is this the correct way or is there something better? Intuition for groups This is quite a non-standard question, certainly for mathematics, though I believe it is no less important (for me and my peers, i.e. grads).  The course I am reading so far introduced us to Groups, rings, fields, etc. in the first year, progressing to characters, reps etc in the latter years.  However, even with representation theory I still don't feel like I have a good intuition.  How do you gain intuition in such an area. I know there will be a response of doing examples, but this doesn't really help - I've done lots already.  Am I doomed. File upload to Heroku not working Resize screen for Dead touch zone I have Star N7189 (5.5") with the lower zone of touch screen dead     The menu and back buttons don't work,but the physical home button works.

How to roll back Ubuntu to a previous version? I just installed a new version of Ubuntu and I want to roll it back to the previous version.  How can I do that? Is that even possible? Embed data in a C++ program "You're too clever a man" command not found and syntax error near unexpected token hyperlink name with biblatex authoryear I am using biblatex with the authoryear styles.  So far I've been able to find everything I need easily in the excellent documentation, but I'm stuck on one thing.   With my current settings (below) citations only have the year hyperlinked to the bibliography entry. I think prior to using biblatex I would have the whole citation (authors + year) as a reference - I think this is easier to click etc. when browsing.  Is there an easy way to get this (or does it involve creating a new style).  \usepackage[style=authoryear,             bibstyle=authoryear,             citestyle=authoryear,             natbib=true,             hyperref=true,             backref=true,             abbreviate=true]{biblatex} How would I import/export Blender's preferences?

Java's Virtual Machine and CLR As a sort of follow up to the question called , what is the (major) differences or similarity in how the Java Virtual Machine works versus how the .NET Framework Common Language Runtime (CLR) works?
