I would like to submit a manuscript which has 5 co-authors. But one of the co-author is presently not working anywhere. So what could be the affiliation of this author? Is it Okay, if I provide the author's last affiliation address?
Recently my paper is reviewed (by a professor from independent third party) and accepted by a journal. But, my employer allows me to publish this paper only without its name there.  Publishing house is expecting affiliation for each author, i.e. I can not leave affiliation as blank.   What should I write as the affiliation?
var/log/syslog growing indefinitely in size The disk that contains Ubuntu on my computer is 115GB in size.  When the disk was 114.7GBfull.  I started deleting some files here and there to free up around 5GB.  But I noticed the disk was 114GB filled again. I thought it was some cache or swap thingy so didn't give it much thought and went ahead and freed around 40GBby shifting some media files out of the disk.  I have a notification in an hour or so that the disk is full yet again!! 40GB!!! All gone!  So I debugged the problem down to the /var/log/syslog file which was initially definitely less than 20GB. I know this because /var folder was 17GB before I cleared the memory.  /var/log/syslog file is currently 55.9GB!  Could someone be so gracious to explain this anomaly? Is this a bug? Or am I affected with some malware or virus? Why isn't my Minecraft LAN server working? My LAN server won't let my cousin join me or me join my cousin. It won't show up on the multiplayer screen - it keeps saying "scanning for LAN servers" but it never finds it. I am at his house and we use different computers but it won't connect. How can I fix this? Why is the MacTeX distribution so large? Is there anything smaller for OS X? I would like to know how to install LaTeX on Mac 10.6 or higher.  But the MacTeX is some 1.28 GB file! Is there a smaller distribution I could install?  What exactly is TeX Live? Is the universe fundamentally deterministic? I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. I realise that this maybe a borderline philosophical question at this point in time, therefore feel free to close this question if you think that this is a duplicate or inappropriate for this forum. Anyway, I'm an electrical engineer and I have some basic knowledge of quantum mechanics. I know that Schrödinger's equation is deterministic. However, quantum mechanics is much deeper than that and I would like to learn more. If this question is not clearly answerable at this point than can anyone point out some recognized sources that try to answer this question. I would appreciate it if the source is scientific and more specifically, is related to quantum theory. Resizing an iframe based on content I am working on an iGoogle-like application. Content from other applications (on other domains) is shown using iframes.   How do I resize the iframes to fit the height of the iframes' content?  I've tried to decipher the javascript Google uses but it's obfuscated, and searching the web has been fruitless so far.  Update: Please note that content is loaded from other domains, so the  applies. Create a local texmf tree in MiKTeX Proof of when is $A=X^TX$ invertible? I am given two charged particles of same charge at a distance of $r$. They initially apply force $F$.  Now an infinite dielectric (of dielectric constant $4$) of width $\frac{r}{2}$ is introduced between the particles. What will be the new force?   I find this problem confusing because I have only been told about forces when its either fully dielectric or fully vaccum given by Coulomb's law. How do we get forces when only partial space is dielectric?

(Yes, I realize that there are other ways to prove that $\mathbb{Q}$ cannot be represented as a nontrivial direct product, but I am not interested in those, and will not accept answers showing me how to do that).  Based on the density of the rationals, I guess this idea kind of makes sense, but I am doing this proof for an abstract algebra class, and I don't think real analysis proofs would be accepted.   Everywhere I've looked online has said this is "trivial" or "easy to see" without bothering to actually prove it for those of us mere mortals who don't see it as such. As for myself, I have literally no idea where to even get started proving this. Could somebody help me figure this out (without giving me cutesy examples that aren't really all that related with the expectation that I should be able to figure it out from looking at those - that's not really how my brain works)?  Thank you. What is the difference between client-side and server-side programming? Purpose of @ Symbol Before Strings? Create tar archive of a directory, except for hidden files? I'm wanting to create a tar archive of a specific directory (with its subdirectories of course). But when I do it, using the tar command, I get a list of files that were included, for example:     a calendar_final/._style.css      a calendar_final/style.css   As you can see, there are two versions of the same file. This goes for every file, and there are many. How do I exclude the temporary files, with the ._ prefix, from the tar archive? Preventing hyphenation of specific short, repeated, hyphenated words Faster way of writing \mathbf Set origin to bottom center of multiple objects I have a lot of 3D objects of various sizes, shapes in blender 2.76b and I would like to set the origin to the bottom center of the objects bounds.  I cannot select the bottom edge and snap to cursor etc as each shapes edges are in different X/Y positions.  Is there a script or tool that will allow me to set the origin to the lowest edge z position? Is there any point of using "return !0" in javascript? Does a Vietnamese citizen need a transit visa for South Korea? I am a Vietnamese passport holder.
