First I install ffmpeg by following command as it suggest by Ubuntu itself.  sudo apt-get install libav-tools   or   sudo apt-get install ffmpeg   But then I realize it is not the correct version since it doesn't support for -filter_complex and few other functions.   After a few hours researcher I found  and I succeed with video conversion as well. As per that article, it is suggesting we need to build it our own.        Question :  What is easiest way to install that ffmpeg version (which is support for -filter_complex ) without following all those steps ? Create subdomains on the fly with .htaccess (PHP) I am looking to create a system which on signup will create a subdomain on my website for the users account area.   e.g. johndoe.website.com  I think it would be something to do with the .htaccess file and possibly redirecting to another location on the website? I don't actually know. But any information to start me off would be greatly appreciated.  Creating a sign up area is not the problem - I have done this many a time. I am just unsure where to start with the subdomain. Changing colors of lightning-button How can I change the colors of lightning-button?  I tried doing this in my css:  .my-button {     background-color: #14a6bc;     color: #ffffff; }   and applying that class to my &lt;lightning-button&gt; and removing the variant but I still get the base colors? I am trying to use these examples: Content type permission to specific users How do I set content permission so that specific content types become visible/usable to the admin user only, while other content types may be visible by other user roles?  After I added new content types, I checked the rebuild permissions.   Content access is working fine but the problem seems to be the fact that the enw content types aren't made visible / accessible to the other roles... Using TIPA with fontspec What safety precautions should I take when taking photos in the snow? I’m going to Queenstown, NZ in a couple of weeks and want to take my (very new, very precious) Canon 7D with me. I’ve done a little bit of research on how to protect my baby from cold climate (e.g. ) and found that the biggest problem is probably going to be condensation. Some suggestions have been to place the camera in a plastic bag or letting the camera gradually adjust to the new temperature or placing silica gel in the camera bag to absorb moisture. I am leaning toward the latter at the moment because it sounds like it’s the easiest, so I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience in this matter and could share their wisdom.  As an alternative I could take my Canon 350D, as I really wouldn’t care if that got damaged in the snow. However I’m a film student and tend to take just as many videos as photos – hence why I really want to take the 7D. But I would seriously regret it if it got damaged… dilemma!   So as I actually haven’t used a question mark in the body of text, I will specify that the question is: What safety precautions should I take when taking photos in the snow?  Cheers. I had Windows 8 installed on my system, which I screwed up, and now I run Ubuntu 12.04. While installing, Ubuntu used all the 461 GB of HDD space (one partition).   Now I want to make a new partition of maybe 100 GB or so, in order to install Windows 7 alongside Ubuntu (with a dual-boot). But I can't even get a partition done. I can't change the partition in GParted either - the option is disabled. Why does a bezier curve twist when rotated? If I create a bezier curve and rotate it in edit mode it does not accordingly rotate the tilt of the handles which creates an undesirable twisting along the curve.  Here is an example using a bezier circle with a square used for a bevel object:   Here it is after being rotated 90° about the y-axis:   How do I prevent/fix this? Any $B \subset \{10,11,...,99\}$, with $|B| =10$ has two subsets such that $\sum_{a \in B_1} a = \sum_{b \in B_2} b$ Let there be $B \subset \{10,11,...,99\}$, with $|B| =10$. I need to prove, using the pigeonhole principle, that there are at least two disjoint subsets of $B$ (and none empty) where the sums of their elements are identical. I.e. $\exists B_1 \ne \varnothing, B_2 \ne \varnothing$ such that $B_1 \bigcup B_2 = B$, $B_1 \bigcap B_2 =\varnothing$ and $$\sum_{a \in B_1} a = \sum_{b \in B_2} b$$ What is the definition and purpose of a pre-amplifier? I find in many places mentions of pre-amplifiers being used to boost audio signals prior to feeding to a power amplifier.  Wikipedia's article on  gives some hints at their usage, but it doesn't really explain why it would be necessary to have two amplifiers in series rather than a single one with greater gain.  If a pre-amp is just a power amp with a smaller gain, what's the point, and why the distinction between the two kinds? Is the distinction in function, or simply purpose? What are some efficient ways to combine two structures in MATLAB? I want to combine two structures with differing fields names.  For example, starting with:  A.field1 = 1; A.field2 = 'a';  B.field3 = 2; B.field4 = 'b';   I would like to have:  C.field1 = 1; C.field2 = 'a'; C.field3 = 2; C.field4 = 'b';   Is there a more efficient way than using "fieldnames" and a for loop?  EDIT: Let's assume that in the case of field name conflicts we give preference to A. mod Distributive Law, factoring $\!\!\bmod\!\!:$ $\ ab\bmod ac = a(b\bmod c)$ I stumbled across this problem  Find $\,10^{\large 5^{102}}$ modulo $35$, i.e. the remainder left after it is divided by $35$  Beginning, we try to find a simplification for $10$ to get: $$10 \equiv 3 \text{ mod } 7\\ 10^2 \equiv 2 \text{ mod } 7 \\ 10^3 \equiv 6 \text{ mod } 7$$ As these problems are meant to be done without a calculator, calculating this further is cumbersome. The solution, however, states that since $35 = 5 \cdot 7$, then we only need to find $10^{5^{102}} \text{ mod } 7$. I can see (not immediately) the logic behind this. Basically, since $10^k$ is always divisible by $5$ for any sensical $k$, then: $$10^k - r = 5(7)k$$ But then it's not immediately obvious how/why the fact that $5$ divides $10^k$ helps in this case. My question is, is in general, if we have some mod system with $a^k \equiv r \text{ mod } m$ where $m$ can be decomposed into a product of numbers $a \times b \times c \ \times ...$, we only need to find the mod of those numbers where $a, b, c.....$ doesn't divides $a$? (And if this is the case why?) If this is not the case, then why/how is the solution justified in this specific instance? How do you convert a byte array to a hexadecimal string, and vice versa? "NG NS" on ticket after airport security I went through security at the Sacramento Airport with a friend. He got something written on his boarding pass "NG NS". I didn't have that. We both went through the same metal detector, neither beeped nor had random checks. Flying to Edmonton through Seattle connection. Early for flight.  I have tried searching for "what is tsa ng ns" on Google but nothing useful came up. Any ideas? One of my coworkers has provided me with a Bash syntax that I am unfamiliar with.  My Google foo has failed me on figuring out what it does and why/when I should use it.    The command that he sent me was of this form:  someVariable=something command   Initially, I thought that this was equivalent to the following:   someVariable=something ; command   Or  someVariable=something  command   But this doesn't appear to the be case.  Examples:   [Jan-03 11:26][~]$ # Look at the environment variable BAZ. It is currently empty [Jan-03 11:26][~]$ echo $BAZ  [Jan-03 11:27][~]$ # Try running a command of the same format     [Jan-03 11:27][~]$ BAZ=jake echo $BAZ  [Jan-03 11:27][~]$     [Jan-03 11:27][~]$ # Now, echo BAZ again. It is still empty:     [Jan-03 11:27][~]$ echo $BAZ  [Jan-03 11:27][~]$     [Jan-03 11:28][~]$     [Jan-03 11:28][~]$ # If we add a semi-colon to the command, we get dramatically different results: [Jan-03 11:28][~]$ BAZ=jake ; echo $BAZ jake [Jan-03 11:28][~]$ [Jan-03 11:28][~]$ # And we can see that the variable is actually set: [Jan-03 11:29][~]$ echo $BAZ jake [Jan-03 11:29][~]$   What does this syntax do?  What happens to the variable that has been set?  Why does this work? Why do birds sitting on electric wires not get shocked? When we touch electric wires, we get shocked.

How to toggle or turn off text selection being sent to the clipboard I would like to disable the default behavior that seems to happen with every Linux distribution that I've ever tried that any selected text is immediately sent to the clipboard (Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora, SuSE, etc.) and every window manager (Gnome, KDE, Cinnamon), and instead to behave more like the Windows implementation.    I know that this is a beloved behavior by many in Linux, and I'm sure many will think I'm an idiot.  The reason I want to do this, is that I'm a keyboard junky when navigating a GUI.  (e.g.  when I'm in Linux and I copy a URL and then switch to my browser and type Ctrl+L, it selects the address bar and moves my intended paste down one notch and replaces it with what I'm trying to overwrite.)  I know there are MANY workarounds, but I don't really care about that, what I'd prefer is to be able to toggle the behavior for the clipboard.
