There is a mashine called "BIE" visible in my network surrounding of my dolphin File manager (Ubuntu 14.10).  I cannot access that device in dolphin and also don't get an answer pinging it.  How can I find out the IP of that device to do an intense scan with nmap?
I have a list of hosts in the network providing shares via SAMBA. How can I determine either IP address or the host name of one particular host, e.g. the one with the name “SASAK02”.  The output of smbtree is as follows  WORKGROUP     \\SASAK02                    \\SAURA-PC1                  \\PC-VAN-DAMME
Prove $3^n = \sum_{k=0}^n \binom {n} {k} 2^k$ I'm trying to create a join/relate in QGIS where I have a shapefile of buildings and to that I would like to join a non-spatial table (.csv-file) containing people who work in each building. So I have multiple records in my table that I would like to be able to join to my single features in my shapefile. I can only run a join in QGIS where the first record is joined to the shapefile feature (ie building) but subsequent records get removed. Could someone let me know how to complete this join/relate in QGIS? How does a new user begin using Stack Overflow/Stack Exchange? As a new user, I find it impossible to contribute to the community or to even begin contributing. I know why the reputation system is in place and I respect it, but at the same time it is too hard on new users.  It started with me wanting to upvote a question...     "Vote Up requires 15 reputation"   Just to appreciate a good question that helped me I need 15 rep? OK..., so I find out how I can get reputation points. More or less, I need to ask a question for +5 and add an answer for +10. I don't have any questions at the moment and I don't want to spam a random question, but I did happen to have a slightly different answer to the earlier question that I wanted to upvote. So I try to answer...     This question is protected to prevent "thanks!", "me too!", or spam answers by new users. To answer it, you must have earned at least 10 reputation on this site.   Now... I know this doesn't apply to every question, but at the same time, this means I'm forced to answer yet another question, and I don't want to go around looking for random questions and spam irrelevant answers...  Now I'm stuck. So I try to talk to some other users in the chat rooms about how to go about getting reputation points and how they first started. I entered into a "casual chat room".     You must have 20 reputation on Meta Stack Overflow to talk here.   Yes... I can understand why this is enforced, because we don't want new users to spam chat rooms, but all I wanted to do was ask for help. So I can't even talk to anyone about my newbie problems. So okay, I'll just settle for upvoting comments in the question that helped me. I don't see an upvote hover-over button so I can't even do that.    So now I'm stuck at 1 reputation point, unable to cross that 15 rep barrier, and even after posting this question I'll only have 6 rep points and still unable to do anything, and I'll be forced to look for questions to answer. Yes, I should be contributing to the community, but I shouldn't need to begin answering or making questions to upvote questions and answers. This only spurs more spam/irrelevant answers if anything.   Very, very, very new-user unfriendly. Sandbox modifies subject on email sent from trigger I am writing a trigger in a sandbox, and am sending an email through the sandbox. I've added a the Account Name to the Subject in my trigger.   When the email is sent from the trigger, Salesforce appends "Sandbox:" before the subject I wrote in apex.   Is there a way to remove the "Sandbox:" subject from emails send out of a sandbox? Menu select item stuck on screen after context or command menu has closed Periodically when I select a menu command, the label or selected option gets "stuck" on screen and won't go away. I can close all open applications, including whichever one I was using when it got stuck, but it still won't go away.   In the screenshot below, I opened an new instance of IE just to show how the label stays on top. The label was not created by this instance of IE.    (I added the circle in MS Paint. That part isn't stuck.)  The label that gets stuck is the first menu command I select in IE. If a label is already stuck, a new one does not get stuck (regardless of which instance(s) of IE are involved). Based on this knowledge, I now just open IE on my secondary monitor, carefully open the context menu so the Properties command is in the bottom corner, and click it. This is not a solution.  The floating label never moves and is transparent to mouse input (if I click it, it's as if I clicked the item behind it).  The label does not go away if I close all running applications. I haven't tried stopping services or closing system tray items like Live Mesh.  The label does go away if I change the screen resolution and then change it back.  Any ideas how I can stop this from happening? It's happened a half dozen times and it's becoming quite disrupting to my work. Can I get cheaper plane tickets by using a VPN? In a Youtube video by ADVChina, the speaker is recommending using a VPN in China for various reasons, and to sign up using his referral code.  He says there are various practical uses including "You could also go and get cheaper plane tickets by hopping around different countries." and shows a screenshot of a flight website called KAYAK, with the VPN software changing his country to Italy.  Is it possible to get cheaper plane tickets by using a VPN in this way? I've never heard of KAYAK, but if I use something like Skyscanner, is it common for tickets to be priced differently depending on which country the user's IP is from?  Is it because of different taxes in different countries? So could it be illegal to get discounts like this? Or is there some pricing strategy from airlines to charge different amounts depending on the country of purchase? Baby is 2 years 2 months old.  What will happen if we don't stop and at what age should we stop? Why?  From: What to Expect The Toddler Years (Arlene Eisenberg, ‎Heidi Murkoff, ‎Sandee Hathaway - 2009)     Even if a child doesn't show any such interest, family nudity could become a problem by age three, when it's believed that some children unconsciously become sexually stimulated by parental nudity, and are confused and embarrassed by these feelings. So it's probably wise to start donning bathrobes and segregating showers by your toddler's third birthday. You can explain such a change by saying, 'Now that you're older, you need to have some privacy, and so do I.' How can I do case insensitive string comparison in Python?  I would like to encapsulate comparison of a regular strings to a repository string using in a very simple and Pythonic way. I also would like to have ability to look up values in a dict hashed by strings using regular python strings. Windows Spotlight Source and Save locations? What DC motor specs do I need to lift a weight with certain gear configuration Selecting through one-to-many relationship I'm trying to make a species distribution project where I can select a species from a non-spatial list of species and the selection would highlight (select) all the counties to which the species has been attributed.  Simplified example data: species, a non-spatial table of species (CSV with header): "species" "Mus borealis" "Mus australis"  species_distributions, a non-spatial relation table (csv with header): "species","county" "Mus borealis","North" "Mus borealis","Central" "Mus australis","South" "Mus australis","Central"  counties, a spatial feature class representing county boundaries (first row = field name): "county" "North" "South" "Central" "West"  So if I select "Mus borealis" from the species table, the "North" and "Central" counties would be highlighted in the map. Seems like a simple scenario, but I have been unable to uncover a solution on my own. The closest I've found is a plugin "Select by relationship" but it doesn't appear to be available for QGIS 3 (I'm using QGIS 3.4.3). I have a PostGIS server available. Let $A$ be a $m \times n$ matrix with entries from some field $F$. Define the determinant rank of $A$ to be the largest possible size of a nonzero minor, i.e. the size of the largest invertible square submatrix of $A$. It is true that the determinant rank is equal to the rank of a matrix, which we define to be the dimension of the row/column space.  It's not difficult to see that $\text{rank} \geq \text{determinant rank}$. If some submatrix of $A$ is invertible, then its columns/rows are linearly indepedent, which implies that the corresponding rows/columns of $A$ are also linearly indepedent.  Is there a nice proof for the converse? How do I remap certain keys or devices? 1970s scifi/horror novel where protagonist is used by a crablike creature to feed its larvae, goes mad, and is defeated by retraumatising him I read this book once as a teenager, I think it might have been written in the 1970s but could be late 1960s or early 1980s.  The protagonist is left to die hideously by enemies. He is paralysed and left on some planet (I don't believe it was earth) in the habitat of some kind of crablike creature, which injects him with its young, and periodically returns to force nutrient and a paralytic agent down his throat, as the larvae grows inside him.  He is rescued, and his body rebuilt to some kind of superhuman abilities, but he is traumatised and bent on indiscriminate revenge for his suffering. He proves hard to defeat.   He is eventually defeated by trickery, when he is shown (or demands to see) something by some kind of video link or remote TV/monitor - perhaps he is told that people he wants revenge on, are held captive for him, I can't be sure.   I think maybe he takes hostages or makes a severe threat, and his demands relate to the people he wants revenge on. But he can't be physically reached, so what can be done?  They set up a video feed, to negotiate, or more likely, to purportedly show him they have what (or who) he wants, and he looks to see.  When he looks at the video stream, it's actually an image of the crablike creature. The shock of repressed memories flooding back, renders him re-traumatised and perhaps catatonic, and defeats him. I have what is probably a simple question, but it is baffling me right now, so I am hoping you can help me out.  I have a least squares regression model, with one independent variable and one dependent variable. The relationship is not significant. Now I add a second independent variable. Now the relationship between the first independent variable and the dependent variable becomes significant.  How does this work? This is probably demonstrating some issue with my understanding, but to me, but I do not see how adding this second independent variable can make the first significant. Don't automatically edit the post to insert "possible duplicate" links When a question is closed as a duplicate, its body is edited to auto-insert the link to that duplicate. I think there are a couple problems with that:   If the question is reopened, the auto-generated insert isn't automatically removed. It allows the poster (or anyone else) to roll back the post and protest the closure by reverting the automatic edit.    I propose that the links to the duplicate(s) are moved into a separate "header" field above the post instead of being edited into the body of the question. That way it could be removed or hidden if the question is reopened and it could not be edited or reverted without reopening the question.   There is some potential for loss of functionality there, since right now it is possible to edit the post to either include additional related links or remove obsolete/incorrect ones. That could be addressed by making the "duplicate field" editable at a certain reputation level (10k?) and enabling others to suggest edits for it that'd go through the usual approval/rejection process.

I have a function where I need to do something to a string.  I need the function to return a boolean indicating whether or not the operation succeeded, and I also need to return the modified string.    In C#, I would use an out parameter for the string, but there is no equivalent in Python.  I'm still very new to Python and the only thing I can think of is to return a tuple with the boolean and modified string.  Related question: "batch" tag turns into "batch-file"
