I recently installed Ubuntu Server edition 13.10 (Saucy Salamander). But I have run into a bit of problem. At the end of the installation, it asks about several extra packages whether you want them or not, like OpenSSH server and virtual machine host. Here's what I'm looking at:  Now, my problem is that I can't remember if I have checked the &quot;virtual machine host&quot; checkbox. How do I check if my server has the corresponding packages? What packages come with the virtual machine host? How to create a Java application which can be run by a click? What is $\lim_{n\to \infty}\sum_{k=1}^n \left(\frac{k}{n}\right)^n$? I'm asked to find $\displaystyle\lim_{n\to \infty}\sum_{k=1}^n \left(\frac{k}{n}\right)^n$.  It seems that the sum converges.  I managed to prove that $\forall n,1&lt;\sum_{k=1}^n \left(\frac{k}{n}\right)^n&lt;e$  But I don't know how to prove convergence, nor find the value of the limit.

Urgent Sydney transit visa question Software/App for electronic research notebooks I want to keep a research notebook for my computational "experiments". Basically, I should at least be able to write text and attach images like plots. Other nice features to have would be   linking to past experiments/pages latex equations uploading papers, or other urls being able to transfer data dating and version control open-source tool   I am already familiar with trello and tiddlywiki. Trello is good for attaching stuff and organising tasks, but I need a notebook where I attach a plot, write stuff around it, attach another below it. It doesn't have a paper or canvas. Tiddlywiki is a little painful for attaching pics and equations, the file bloats, it seems I am keeping a blog.  What is a good, free electronic notebook tool for research/lab work? I am currently visiting the USA from the UK (I am a UK citizen) and am intending on staying here for the full 90 days under the Visa Waiver Program.     How long would I have to stay out of the US at the end of this period before returning again?    Would I have to return to the UK, or could I stay with friends in another country (such as Canada) for a while? Modify systemd unit file without altering upstream unit file I have installed the pimd service by means of apt. This comes with an upstream systemd unit file (/lib/systemd/system/pimd.service).  I want the service to be restarted when for some reason it gets killed, hence I wish to add the line Restart = always in the unit file.   However, I don’t want to modify the upstream unit file.

The specific point at which it fails to download changed - it seems to be a sourceforge reliability problem, but this has now been going on weeks and results in annoying popups as above all the time.

I'm confused about 'want you to do (something)' and 'want you do (something)'.  Example:      "I want you to eat fish" instead of "I want you eat fish" or "I want that you eat fish".

I read this story a long time ago and cannot remember either the title or the author. It was written in the 60s or 70s. The setting is sometime in the 21 century.  Here is a summary of the plot.  One of the great classical composers (maybe it was Schubert, I'm not sure) is revived with some future technology. All the guys in the lab are very happy about it, the world cheers the achievement. The composer is also quite excited to be alive. Naturally, he is asked to perform a concert. He asks for ink and music paper. Nobody knows what that is: in those days everybody writes music directly in "frequency spectrum" and similar stuff.  The composer, excited to create music again, tries to come up with something but he doesn't like anything he writes. The music is well written, but lacks something essential, it doesn't sound like his real music. Finally, the composer realizes that the lab guys recreated his mind from reviews by music critics, and his music just sounds like that. He performs the concert. The audience enjoys it, applauds and bravos. Not only to composer, but also to the lab guys.   At the end, if I remember it right, the composer gloats over the  primitive taste of the audience. The audience who writes music in frequency spectrum and applauds to lab guys at the music concert did not see the failure in the concert and ate it as it is.  Does someone recognize the story?  PS all the recent talk of advent of AI machines with Machine Learning algorithms reminded me of this story. Is there any problem if the last name prints first than the first name on an air ticket? Is there any problem if the last name prints first then the first name in international air ticket?
