Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is the only OS on my laptop. I have spent alot of time researching on how to format the drive along with Ubuntu OS. Kindly help me do this.
I have absolutely no experience with Linux, and I desperately need to get my computer back up and running again with Windows.  How do I remove Ubuntu and reinstall Windows?    Editor's note: many of the answers are about removing Ubuntu from dual-boot but keeping Windows (which is a bit complicated), while other answers are about removing Ubuntu from single-boot (which is easy: basically just format the disk while installing Windows). The question as written is ambiguous between dual-boot or single-boot.
When reviewing Suggested Edits on Stack Overflow, I often come across "fixed formatting" suggestions that use  to place emphasis on certain keywords, but isn't actual code.  For example:     I am having a difficult time with a background task in iOS. The problem I seem to be facing is that iOS is silently terminating the App if my background task runs for too long. What can I do to increase time iOS will wait for my background task to complete?   Gets edited to:     I am having a difficult time with a background task in iOS.

This seems like an invalid use of an inline code span because, well, it isn't code, and it is distracting. There are a    of these edits being made. Often enough they get approved, which reinforces the behavior.  Is this a valid use of inline code spans? If not, should it be edited and corrected? Should edits suggesting these changes be rejected?

I was wondering how to run a command as another user from a script.  I have the script's owner set as root. I also have the following command being run within the script to run the command as the hudson user:  su -c command hudson   Is this the correct syntax? Good tool for finding photo duplicates based on image data What is a good (and preferably free) tool for finding photo duplicates based on the photos themselves?  So, not filename, filesize etc., but how the photos look like. It would be nice if it managed to match photos that were the same image, but not exactly the same size for example too. So: I have a Gantt chart created with pgfgantt where in order to fit my pages I have included  x unit=1.4cm,y unit chart=6mm   in its preamble.  This means that milestone shapes are spread out horizontally.  How can I change the vertical and horizontal units of a Gantt chart in a way which doesn't affect the aspect ratios of elements like milestones? How to prove that $E[Y]=E[E[E[Y|X_1, X_2]]]$ ?  PS. I don't see how $E[E(Y|X_{1},X_{2})|X_{1}]=Y[Y|X_{1}]$ and $E[Y]=E[E(Y|X_{1})]$ can be used here. But it feels close. Please help, I'm stuck PPS. Thanks @Deep North.

How can I do so? Overleaf does not compile after using Biblatex I have my PhD deadline on Monday and disaster has struck at the very last minute! Any assistance would be eternally appreciated.  I'm using Overleaf (v2) to write my thesis - it's a very large file tree containing multiple .tex files.  Everything was compiling fine, until I decided to experiment and use:  \usepackage{biblatex}   It compiled with this included but looked odd, so I deleted the line again. However, now it does not compile - despite the document being exactly the same as before the problem began. Why do we use "./" (dot slash) to execute a file in Linux/UNIX? Why do we use ./filename to execute a file in linux?  Why not just enter it like other commands gcc, ls etc... Closure of the set of degree $n$ polynomials with $n$ real roots A very beautiful (but maybe classic) exercise:   Consider the set $\Omega_n$ of polynomials of degree $n$ with real coefficients and $n$ distinct real roots.   What is the closure of $\Omega_n$ in $R_n[x]$?  ($R_n[x]$ denotes the set of polynomials with real coefficients of degree at most $n$)    The answer is the set of polynomials in $R_n[x]$ all of whose roots are real, plus the constant polynomials. Showing that this set is contained in the closure is not too hard, however the reverse implication is more difficult and I'm wondering what is the most elementary method to prove it (without talking about holomorphic functions for example). I keep on seeing a fair number of questions (such as ) which get marked as answered within 5-10 minutes of being posted. Sometimes the questions like this are insanely popular and actually see some proper discussion, however often I see questions have few views and only 1 answer. The trouble with these questions is that very few people have scrutinised the answer for correctness, or possibly a better solution. I always make a point of not accepting my answers until a day or so has passed — would it not be a good idea to put a short (1 hour or so) time limit on accepting answers on new questions with few views or votes, or perhaps just an additional confirmation dialog, something along the lines of:  Your question is new and not many people have had a chance to look at it yet.  Are you sure you don't want to wait to see if anyone else has a better suggestion? Does an ability or spell grant me the bonus action with which to use it? The  description of casting times says that spells with a casting time of &quot;bonus action&quot; require a bonus action to cast (p. 79, emphasis mine):  Most spells require a single action to cast, but some spells require a bonus action, a reaction, or much more time to cast. Bonus Action A spell cast with a bonus action is especially swift. You must use a bonus action on your turn to cast the spell, provided that you haven't already taken a bonus action this turn. You can't cast another spell during the same turn, except for a cantrip with a casting time of 1 action.  It's pretty clear that bonus actions aren't automatic (p. 69):  You can take a bonus action only when a special ability, spell, or other feature of the game states that you can do something as a bonus action. You otherwise don't have a bonus action to take.  So to cast a spell like Healing Word (p. 93), do I  need to be granted a bonus action that I can use, or do I have a bonus action I can use?  I guess I'm unclear on whether I need to have a bonus action before I can spend it on something, or whether having an ability, spell, or whatnot that can be done as a bonus action grants me the bonus action I need to use it.
