How can I disable the button of my CD/DVD drive? Up until Fedora 14 I was successfully using  to enable/disable the CD/DVD eject button on my laptop (Thinkpad T410). Sadly it has stopped working now.  I've consulted the methods discussed in these 2 questions:       None of which have worked for me. So I turn back to cdctl to see if we can't fix what's broken with it, since it's worked for so long.  Debugging the issue  So starting with cdctl switches I notice that most things seem to work just fine.  Examples  These things work.  ejects the drive  $ cdctl -e   list capabilities  $ cdctl -k Tray close             : 1 Tray open              : 1 Can disable eject      : 1 Selectable spin speed  : 1 Is a jukebox           : 0 Is multisession capable: 1 Can read the MCN (UPC) : 1 Can report media change: 1 Can play audio discs   : 1 Can do a hard reset    : 1 Can report drive status: 1   According to that list cdctl even thinks that it can enable/disable the eject button.   Can disable eject      : 1    So I continue on with debugging the issue.  Debugging cdctl  So I figure lets do an strace on cdctl to see if it can shed some light on what's going on.  $ strace cdctl -o1 ... brk(0)                                  = 0x1371000 open("/dev/cdrom", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/dev/cd", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK)    = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/dev/scd0", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK)  = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/dev/sr0", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK)   = 3 ioctl(3, CDROM_LOCKDOOR, 0x1)           = 0 close(3)                                = 0 exit_group(0)                           = ? +++ exited with 0 +++   Curiously it seems like cdctl thinks it's disabling the button.   $ strace cdctl -o1 ioctl(3, CDROM_LOCKDOOR, 0x1)           = 0  $ strace cdctl -o0 ioctl(3, CDROM_LOCKDOOR, 0)             = 0   NOTE: If I understand this right, the return of a 0 means it was successful.  One thing that caught my eye here was the list of devices that cdctl is attempting to interact with. So I thought "what if I try these devices with eject"?  eject command  One of the other commands I used to use years ago was the eject command to interact with the CD/DVD device. I noticed that this command also now has a similar named switch:  $ eject --help  -i, --manualeject &lt;on|off&gt;  toggle manual eject protection on/off   Example  $ eject -i 1 /dev/sr0 eject: CD-Drive may NOT be ejected with device button  $ eject -i 0 /dev/sr0 eject: CD-Drive may be ejected with device button   So eject too thinks that it's disabling the button, yet it isn't either. Using strace here I see the same system calls:  $ strace eject -i 1 /dev/sr0 |&amp; grep ioctl ioctl(3, CDROM_LOCKDOOR, 0x1)           = 0  $ strace eject -i 0 /dev/sr0 |&amp; grep ioctl ioctl(3, CDROM_LOCKDOOR, 0)             = 0   So now I'm wondering if UDEV or something else is potentially blocking or taking ownership of device?  Thoughts? I have some problems with this exercise. I don't know if it can be done. Consider the polynomial $ x^n - a \in \mathbb{Q} $ Can I compute the Galois group of this over $\mathbb{Q}$? Maybe having a nice "basis.  The splitting field is given by $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_n,\alpha)$ , where $\zeta_n$ is a primitive root of unity , and $\alpha$ is some number such that $\alpha^n = a $. Well first of all, I want a $\underline{"good basis"}$ for the splitting field. In the sense that the minimal polynomials, of the adjoined elements, are different (in this case the computation of the galois group is very simple).  For example one easy case, it's when $a&gt;0$, then $(a)^{\frac{1}{n}} \in \mathbb{R}$ , so clearly the minimal polynomial of $(a)^{\frac{1}{n}} , \zeta_n$ are distincs, and I'm done. If $n$ is odd then , it's also easy, since one root it's also real, for example $x^3-3 $, the real root is $ \root 3 \of { - 3}  =  - \root 3 \of 3  $ , so I can consider the splitting field as $\mathbb{Q}(-\root 3 \of 3 , \zeta_3 )=\mathbb{Q}(\root 3 \of 3 , \zeta_3 )$. The difficult case is when $n$ is even and $a&lt;0$ , for example  $x^8+20$ or $x^4+20$ in some cases as in the second, there are particular cases since there exist algorithms for the Galois group of quartics, but in general. It can be done?  $\underline{Remark}$ I'm searching a $\underline{"good basis"}$ for the splitting field. In the sense that the minimal polynomials, of the adjoined elements, are different since in this case the computation of the galois group is very simple. How do I limit the running time of a BASH script I have a long running BASH script that I am running under CYGWIN on Windows.  I would like to limit the script to run for 30 seconds, and automatically terminate if it exceeds this limit. Ideally, I'd like to be able to do this to any command.  For example:  sh-3.2$ limittime -t 30 'myscript.sh'   or   sh-3.2$ limittime -t 30 'grep func *.c'   Under cygwin the ulimit command doesn't seem to work.   I am open to any ideas. Implicit Differentiation Help I have to use implicit differentiation to find $\frac{dy}{dx}$ given:  $$x^2 \cos(y) + \sin(2y) = xy$$  I don't even know where to begin, I missed the class where we went over implicit differentiation, and because of that, I am completely stuck.   Thank you everyone.  Edit: I don't know how to make the equation look all nice and whatnot, so sorry about that Is there an official rule that the minimum damage can't be negative? A slightly humorous thought occurred to me (a recovering rules lawyer) after reading .     "None of the answers actually specify that 0 is the minimum damage."   Logically it wouldn't make sense for an attack to apply negative damage or healing, except in specific cases like hitting a flame elemental with a fire attack. Ruling that you could do negative damage would lead to an exploit to avoid costs of healing. As such I highly doubt any DM would make such a ruling. I definitely wouldn't except for the most absurd and humorous of games were failure is the expected result not success.  Another possibility (as suggested by Secespitus) is that negative damage would reflect back on the attacker. This could be seen as punching a strongman so hard (or in just the wrong way) as to injure your own hand.  This would also play well in a failure is the only option game, and if there is a rule suggesting that it would be an appropriate answer to this question as well.  Take the case of a person with less than 8 Strength, no levels in monk, and does not have a tavern brawler.  Would they do -1(1 - 2) damage on unarmed strikes? If so what would the result of the negative damage be?   "Healing" the target because such a puny hit actually raises their fighting spirits and makes them more capable of fighting Reflective Damage, the attacker actually takes 1 point of damage, representing injury to his hand or other damage   I am curious to know if there is an official rule stating that the minimum damage an attack can do is 0 or is there something in the damage calculation that I am missing that would otherwise prevent negative damage? Does Perl have PHP-like dynamic variables? I downloaded the iso file for XUbuntu. I created a live usb using Pen Drive Linux. I turned on my computer, booted to the XUbuntu installation screen, and selected "check disk for defects".  A minute later, it says that it found one defect. How do I figure out what this defect is? Updating the SubscriberKey on the All Subscriber table through the API I'm trying to update an existing Subscriber in the All Subscriber Table through the API; i've set up the AppId in the App Center and have connected and created Subscribers, but i'm still having issues updating.  What call do I need to be making to do this? These are the ones i've been trying. How do I prove that $f(x)f(y)=f(x+y)$ implies that $f(x)=e^{cx}$, assuming f is continuous and not zero? This is part of a homework assignment for a real analysis course taught out of "Baby Rudin."  Just looking for a push in the right direction, not a full-blown solution.  We are to suppose that $f(x)f(y)=f(x+y)$ for all real x and y, and that f is continuous and not zero.  The first part of this question let me assume differentiability as well, and I was able to compose it with the natural log and take the derivative to prove that $f(x)=e^{cx}$ where c is a real constant.  I'm having a little more trouble only assuming continuity; I'm currently trying to prove that f is differentiable at zero, and hence all real numbers.  Is this an approach worth taking? Should we use wheatstone bridges nowadays? For measuring strain gauges, the Wheatstone bridge is the historical choice.  In a quarter Wheatstone brigde (\$350 \Omega \$ typically (?)), with a high input impedance amplifier, and some bridge power voltage \$V\$, the ratio between the bridge output voltage w.r.t. any resistor is 1/4, which is the same ratio in a voltage divider between the output voltage w.r.t. any resistor, compared with a stable voltage reference of \$V/2\$.    A voltage divider with a voltage reference would have a voltage noise of about 35.16 nV/rtHz (from a voltage reference of 35 nV/rtHz plus two resistors), and the Wheatstone bridge a voltage noise of 4.86 nV/rtHz (from four resistors), which should be enough (?) for most ADC systems (i.e. for 24 bit, 0-5V range: 300nV resolution).  And a voltage reference (\$0.02\%\$ initial error, \$2 \ ppm/C^\circ\$, ), would be more stable and precise (?) about \$4\ ppm/C^\circ\$, than a precision resistor (\$0.005\%\$ error, \$2 \ ppm/C^\circ \$, ), about \$8 \ ppm/C^\circ\$.  Hence, why bother using Wheatstone bridges? Excluding grep from process list The strange thing about the maximum in Planck's law I read that it makes a difference whether you calculate $\frac{dE(\lambda) }{d \lambda}=0$ or $\frac{dE(\omega)}{d \omega}=0$ in the sense that the maximum energy density with respect to the wavelength does not coincide with the frequency maximum that one would assume to be at $\omega_{max} = \frac{c}{\lambda_{max}}$. Actually, I do not understand why this is so ( Now, I am only interested in a pure physical explanation, mathematically this is clear and due to the chain rule). Does anybody know how to explain this odd thing?  Somehow I feel that the core of the question has not been completely answered. Although I can easily look up wikipedia, where the need for the chain rule is explained, I am rather interested in understanding where the following argument breaks down, which seems to be why this question has caused some confusion in the past(as you can see by googling this question):  So we have $E(\omega)$ the energy radiated at a given frequency. Now this function has a maximum somewhere, so there is a frequency where a maximal amount of energy is emitted. In other words: If you add the sum of the photon's energies at each frequency that are emitted, you will notice that the maximum is reached at this frquency. Now $E(\lambda)$ tells you basically the same for the wavelength, but again: We know where at which frequency the maximal amount of energy is radiated, so we know the corresponding wavelength.   I think there is a need to explain this.   If anything is unclear, please let me know. So I noticed that many cards with tap-effects ship with a clause specifying that they can only be used on untapped permanents, such as  and .  So here's my question:   Doesn't that imply that, given the right situation, one can legally tap an already tapped permanent?   I'll give an example of the kinda scenarios this is relevant for: Can  activate her first ability when no untapped cards are around? Or, thinking untap-effects, could I bounce a forest with  even when there isn't a tapped creature available?  Notice that, unlike the previous batch of examples, the wording on these lacks the clause restricting their use to un/tapped permanents - does that mean that they aren't?  Any kind of clarification would be greatly appreciated here. Creating a row for each value in a comma-separated string I'm currently trying to create a View from a Table that does the following:  Table A ╔═════════════╦═══════════════╗  ║ PART NUMBER ║   FILE NAME   ║ ╠═════════════╬═══════════════╣ ║  PN0001-01  ║      FOO      ║ ║  PN0002-01  ║      BAR      ║ ║  PN0003-01  ║    FOO,BAR    ║ ║  PN0004-01  ║  BAR,FOO,FOB  ║ ╚═════════════╩═══════════════╝   To create  View B ╔═════════════╦═══════════════╗  ║ PART NUMBER ║   FILE NAME   ║ ╠═════════════╬═══════════════╣ ║  PN0001-01  ║      FOO      ║ ║  PN0002-01  ║      BAR      ║ ║  PN0003-01  ║      FOO      ║ ║  PN0003-01  ║      BAR      ║ ║  PN0004-01  ║      BAR      ║ ║  PN0004-01  ║      FOO      ║ ║  PN0004-01  ║      FOB      ║ ╚═════════════╩═══════════════╝   So, essentially, I need to take records from Table A and insert them into View B, where if the record from A has a LIKE '[,]' property, then that field is split into multiple records in B, depending on the number of times the ',' is present, with the text between each ',' being given its own record in View B.

Last night while my washing machine and sink in the master bath was running, my master toilet started having air bubbles come up.  Then this morning while I was showering I heard bubbles again, and the shower was draining very slowly.  After the bubbles occurred my toilet in the master bath and powder room completely drained of water in the bowl and tank.  What is happening? Why was Peeves in Hogwarts? Peeves was a poltergeist.
