I have a customisation file which can provide a much simplified QGIS interface for beginner users. We have QGIS available on a shared machine. I'd like to provide a shortcut which would open QGIS with the simplified interface already active (and another which opens it without customisation). It seems that on Linux this can be done with command line options. Is there some equivalent SIMPLE arrangement for Windows (I'm not a programmer, and I don't have admin permissions on any machines).
I need to customize the UI for a group of users at another office.  I want to turn off a bunch of toolbars and menus that are not needed.  I know how to save my configurations (Settings -> Customization...) to a INI file.    How do I setup the other users computers to load the INI at startup?   I am using Windows 7 and Qgis 2.0.1.
How did the writers not notice that the mailbox of Leela's parents says "Turanga," and not "Leela"?  Turanga Leela is Leela's proper name, with Leela being her surname, so shouldn't it follow that her folks would be the same? What's the difference between the list methods append() and extend()? Recently, there was some news that said that the researchers at NASA have come across some impossible kind of space engine which does not require any fuel. I have read at a few places like ,  and . They all say that this engine seems to violate the laws of physics including conservation of momentum.  The original paper is .  Is the statement that it violates conservation of momentum true? can my transit visa take me through munich and frankfurt? The effect of gravitational & Coulomb forces on free electrons in a conductor In a metal, why don’t the free electrons fall to the bottom of the metal due to gravity?  Also, charges in a conductor are supposed to reside on the surface so why don’t the free electrons all go to the surface?   Regarding the first question, my hunch is that it is due to the electric force which is greater than the gravitational force and electric force act along the length of the conductor.  I don't have any intuition for the second. I believe that Asimov himself recommended reading them in chronological order, however I read them in the order that they were published and think that this is the best way to do it.  What is the correct order? Is a passport needed when flying within Mexico as a U.S permanent resident? Why don't gksu/gksudo or launching a graphical application with sudo work with Wayland? I installed Ubuntu 17.10. Now I am having trouble with gksu:  $ gksu -dg synaptic No ask_pass set, using default! xauth: /tmp/libgksu-HgUjgQ/.Xauthority STARTUP_ID: gksu/synaptic/8760-0-alex-XPS-15-9530_TIME4974977 cmd[0]: /usr/bin/sudo cmd[1]: -H cmd[2]: -S cmd[3]: -p cmd[4]: GNOME_SUDO_PASS cmd[5]: -u cmd[6]: root cmd[7]: -- cmd[8]: synaptic buffer: -GNOME_SUDO_PASS- brute force GNOME_SUDO_PASS ended... Yeah, we're in...

So looks like a problem with creating a tty for root.  Any advice? Toast message with Chinese characters, is it a virus? I recently received some updates today from the Play Store. Every so often a pop notification, one of those bubble ones at the bottom of the screen with Chinese characters.  The most recent update I've noticed is the ES File Explorer. I wouldn't mind, but my device is rooted and so I am at risk. I have a screenshot of the notification.  My device is the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 and I have stock ROM installed.    What my question(s) are: Do I have a virus (it's not being picked up by Avast) and if I do, how do I remove it? Are you allowed to use numbers as table names in MySQL? I'm thinking of having a program that dynamically creates new tables as the need arises. Can I have tables named with just numbers in MySQL? Which tables are safe to clear? Self-Studying Measure Theory and Integration As the title says, I'm interested in reading about measure theory and integration theory on my own time, and was hoping for book recommendations, prerequisites, and things like that.  As for my background, I've taken introductory analysis, where we covered the "typical" subjects up until some theorems about differentiable functions.  I'm taking intermediate real analysis now; we talked about metric spaces in general for a while, but lately we've focused solely on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Now we're working towards a proof of the implicit function theorem in $\mathbb{R}^n$.  I haven't learned any of the theory behind Riemann integration, unfortunately. Is it important to be familiar with this first? What is the safest way to clean up /boot partition? I have 200 MB assigned for the /boot partition.  Whenever I try to update the kernel, I receive an error message that basically states /boot is full.  What can I do to cleanup /boot and remove/backup the older kernels? How was Nearly Headless Nick unpetrified? Prime/Maximal Ideals in $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt d]$ Can negative levels get rid of racial HD? What happens when one is affected by something such as energy drain, and permanently loses levels when one only has racial HD? Does the victim of the spell die? Or do they permanently lose racial HD? One adjective for two or more nouns Could we use one adjective for two nouns? Is the following sentence correct?     It has low speed and voltage. What is the difference between equation and formula? Sometimes equation and formula are used interchangeably, but I was wondering if there is a difference.  For example, suppose we can calculate a car's fuel efficiency as:  mpg = distance traveled in miles / the fuel used in a gallon   Is that an equation or formula? Does decrease in temperature affect mass $E=mc^2$? My understanding of Quantum physics and String Theory is very basic and I don't yet have a grasp on the maths, but in my research I have come up with a question.  Does a decrease in temperature also signify/create a decrease in mass?  I am quite willing to believe the concepts I think I am beginning to understand are totally misconceptions on my part.  But, as I see it mass is a product/mark of disruption to the Higgs field as a particle moves.  If these particles are ultimately composed of vibrating Strings, their mass is given by the rate at which they vibrate and how it interacts with the Higgs field.  I don't have any idea if, as the temperature (as we know it) approaches 0k, the string/quark/sparticle would change its state in any way or if the changing of the state of the String would change what type of particle it represents.  It seems I'm more full of questions than answers, but that's why I love these topics!  I know what I'm learning is new if the best and brightest are still working on the 'basics' to just make their systems work :). How to disable Alt + ` (backtick/grave)
