Can one generally expect it to be more difficult to publish in a journal when one is not affiliated with an institution? I like the idea of being an independent researcher at some point in the future, but I'm wondering whether getting my pieces published might get a little more difficult? Do people have experiences with this?
Assume you have already completed your undergrad and have been working for a number of years. Does one need to be part of a university or a learning institution to publish papers?
How to install Intel CedarView drivers on Ubuntu 12.10 or higher? I am looking for instructions on how to install cedarview graphics drivers on Ubuntu 13.04 32bit.  My graphics hardware is a GMA3600 aka Power VR SGX545.  EDIT: It seems that they are not in Raring yet, but only Precise:   EDIT2: they seem to be closed source. Defining commands/abbreviations that contain numbers I tend to use \newcommand to define macros for symbols I use often, e.g. \newcommand{\hankel}{H^{(1)}_0}.  One inconvenience of this approach is the fact that command names cannot include numbers.  What I ideally want is to map something like \H0 to H^{(1)}_0.  I imagine this could be done with some macro expansion/snippet package, or one might use \newcommand to define a command that takes a parameter, etc.  Before I start experimenting, though -- is there a canonical way of dealing with this problem? I've been reading about a lot of different types of philosophies, religions, ways of thinking etc. I was wondering what are the most recently created philosophical ways of looking at the universe? Where can one find out about new cutting edge ideas?  Example: Before we had Marxism, Communism, Zen, Christianity etc. Now X,Y, and Z have been created building on and evolving the ideas of A,B,C.   Everything I read about are ideas that were created a long time ago. What is new and updated? What's the incentive to flag duplicates? Contribute to bounty? Would particles behave the same way as a satellite orbiting earth, only far more compact and rapid correlating to the gravitational force of the black hole?

Phantom device showing on Google Play Stop the Ubuntu updater from nagging about Firefox English Language pack even after uninstalling Firefox I have run sudo apt purge firefox, and I have gone through all of the /.config files, etc., and Software Updater is still asking me daily if I want to install the &quot;English Language Pack for Firefox&quot;.

In ArcMap, when you export data to PDF it preserves the layering within the PDF so that you can turn on/off individual map layers (within the PDF itself).  When I export from QGIS to PDF, I don't appear to have the option for this.  Does QGIS support preserving layers when exporting to PDF?  Is there a special setting needed to enable this capability?  Or has anyone wrote a plugin for this feature? What is the reasoning behind restricting the number of migration paths? On the religion and culture stackexchange sites, many, many users will initially ask a question in a place that's kind of off-topic there, but are fully on-board elsewhere.    Christianity.SE, for example, gets a lot of general philopsophical questions that would be better on Philosophy, historical questions that might be better on History.SE, and hermenutical questions that are better on BH.SE.  It is, however, unreasonable in my mind for a user with a question to be required to have domain expertise on which sub-site each has. Indeed, even amongst users with a high amount of knowledge, there can be disagreement.  Likewise, , but as just about every one of those is in beta, the user would have to be very saavy (or would have to find that post) in order to nail it every time.  That said, recommending that a question be moved is much harder than it needs to be.  I have seen business rule logic that says, for example,    migration paths only exist to graduated sites (ergo politics, money, history, and quantitative finance wouldn't qualify) migration paths seem to be limited to 5.   Anything not on a migration path requires a moderator (and not just a high rep user) to get involved.  So, what is the reasoning behind this?  Note, I'm not asking for a solution (although the obvious solution would be to allow migration paths to any established site, beta or not, i.e. a VTC as off topic b/c it belongs on another site should allow you to pick any other site) - I just want to understand the business purpose in restricting migration paths to a small, predefined number for everyone other than a mod. Is smell a bad way of determining whether meat is still good? How can I convince hyperref and xindy to play together nicely? Find $\lfloor {\alpha}^6 \rfloor$ If $\alpha$ is a real root of the equation   $$x^5-x^3+x-2=0$$   find the value of $\lfloor {\alpha}^6 \rfloor$.      This one totally stumped me. We are asked to calculate $\lfloor {\alpha}^6 \rfloor$ without actually calculating the root or using wolfram alpha or any other calculator. I found that the above equation has only one real root by sketching its graph using calculus. I was also able to use the intermediate value theorem to conclude that $1&lt;\alpha&lt;2$ , but this is of little use while calculating $\lfloor {\alpha}^6 \rfloor$. Please help! How prove this $\frac{a}{(bc-a^2)^2}+\frac{b}{(ca-b^2)^2}+\frac{c}{(ab-c^2)^2}=0$ I want to learn more about hopf algebras but I am having trouble finding a down to earth introduction to the subject with lots of motivation and examples. My algebra knowledge ranges from Dummit and Foote, Atiyah-Macdonald commutative algebra, and Hartshorne level algebraic geometry.  What are good places to look at for a hopf algebra beginner? My main motivation is for studying groupoid schemes from an algebraic point of view. How will a particle with energy less than $V_{\rm min}$ behave? From reading the rules it would appear there are two kinds of damage and then straight loss of life:     118.3 If an effect causes a player to gain or lose life, that player's life total is adjusted accordingly.   From reading that I would guess that effects like Extort are not sources of damage. You simply lose the life.      119.2a Damage may be dealt as a result of combat. Each attacking and blocking creature deals combat damage equal to its power during the combat damage step.   So damage from creatures during combat is combat damage.     119.2b Damage may be dealt as an effect of a spell or ability. The spell or ability will specify which object deals that damage.   And that is direct damage from an object.  So the arguments are these:  Does loss of life as outlined by rule 118.3 (at top) count as being dealt damage? Do triggered abilities that redirect or reduce damage effect loss of life?  My second related question: You put  on a  and tap her to deal one damage to your opponent. Am I right in saying that because the damage was direct damage (not dealt during combat) then the triggered ability of preventing the combat phase of the damaged player is not triggered?
