Please explain the differences between using 'will' and 'would' in the examples below:     There is a possibility he would win.   Versus     There is a possibility he will win.   And      There is still a chance that he will arrive before 7.   Versus     There is still a chance that he would arrive before 7.   Both are very common but my take on it is that "will” suggests a much stronger/greater probability or future likelihood compared to "would".  Please offer yours.
Most people say I wish I could, I wish you would.    Can we use I wish I can, I wish you will?    I'd like to know what the main differences between the usage of can/will and could/would are when wishing.  Is it related to the subjunctive? Because one says “I wish I were”, not “I wish I am”, so are would and could the subjunctive forms of can and will?  Or is it something else entirely?
Installing Ubuntu after Windows 10 How can I install Ubuntu on Windows 10 as dual boot? I have a DVD with Ubuntu and when I tried to install Ubuntu I had a warning that the hard disk will be erased. How can I install Ubuntu and keep my Windows 10? Thanks Two paths that show that $\frac{x-y}{x^2 + y^2}$ has no limit when $(x,y) \rightarrow (0,0)$ Book a return flight a year in advance Is it possible to buy an airline ticket that has me returning to my country after a year being abroad? I can't seem to book a flight that far in advance online. Disk storage graphic and usage amount inconsistent? How can I instantiate a generalized hash function? I've come across a bunch of "strange" hash function notations, such as the following ones and now I don't know how to choose / instantiate them.  Can you please explain me what this notation means and how I can actually instantiate such a hash function?  The notation in question: $$H_1:\mathcal M \rightarrow \mathbb F_p$$ $$H_2:\mathcal M \rightarrow \mathbb Z_n^*$$ $$H_3:\mathcal M \rightarrow \{0,1\}^l$$ $$H_4:\mathcal M_1\times ...\times \mathcal M_k\rightarrow \mathcal S$$  where $\mathcal M\in\{\mathbb F_p,\mathbb Z_n^*,\{0,1\}^*,\mathbb G,...\}$ where $\mathbb G$ is a generic (but there instantiated) group and $\mathcal S\in\{\mathbb F_p,\mathbb Z_n^*,\{0,1\}^l\}$ I wish to familiarize myself with the capabilities of QGIS up to and beyond QGIS version 3.0.   Can you recommend some good web resources and tutorials that would show me QGIS' capabilities?   I am interested in both using QGIS through its GUI and in developing applications using QGIS. What is the formula for $\frac{1}{1\cdot 2}+\frac{1}{2\cdot 3}+\frac{1}{3\cdot 4}+\cdots +\frac{1}{n(n+1)}$ How can I find the formula for the following equation?  $$\frac{1}{1\cdot 2}+\frac{1}{2\cdot 3}+\frac{1}{3\cdot 4}+\cdots +\frac{1}{n(n+1)}$$  More importantly, how would you approach finding the formula? I have found that every time, the denominator number seems to go up by $n+2$, but that's about as far as I have been able to get:  $\frac12 + \frac16 + \frac1{12} + \frac1{20} + \frac1{30}...$ the denominator increases by $4,6,8,10,12,\ldots$ etc.  So how should I approach finding the formula? Thanks! I'm trying to include Arabic text in an English document (I'm a new latex user), but I can't seem to get any Arabic text to render at all, using xelatex or any kind of tex. I'm using texshop 3.51 on a mac. I can't get this basic example to work, it just displays question marks in the output pdf.  \documentclass[12pt]{article} \usepackage[utf]{arabxetex} \newfontfamily\arabicfont[Script=Arabic]{Amiri} \begin{document} \begin{arab}[voc] وَهَذِهِ فِقرَةٌ بِالعَرَبِيَة مَعَ كَلِمَة اِنكلِيزِيَة \end{arab} \end{document}     I've downloaded Amiri (and also Scheherazade and Lateef) into Fontbook, and they show up if I go Source->Font->Show Fonts in texshop. If I remove the Amiri part it still doesn't work.   Is there anything I can do? I've looked at other links here, like  and  but I can't even render any of those examples.   Thank you so much for any help! I'll love you forever if I can get this to work. I'm having trouble understanding what I'm doing wrong here: I'm trying to set up two network Locations, one for my home network via my cable modem and a second for Wi-Fi tethering via my mobile phone. What I'd like to be able to do is change the Location (under the Apple menu &gt; Location) and have my Mac automatically connect to the proper Wi-Fi network: either my home network SSID or my WiFi tethering SSID. I defined two locations, switched between them, and set the preferred network list for each location. But when I change the preferred network list for one Location, it changes the list for the other Location as well! Am I doing something wrong or is it really not possible to maintain a separate list of Preferred Networks for each network Location? It seems doubtful it's not possible since just about every other netrok setting depends on the location... I am using OS X 10.7.2. In any Pythagorean triplet at least one of them is divisible by $2$, $3$ and $5$. Show that if $x$, $y$, $z$ are integers such that $x^2 + y^2 = z^2$, then at least one of them is divisible by $2$, at least one is divisible by $3$, and at least one is divisible by $5$.  I know that $x,y,z$ are sides of a right-angled triangles. If I start putting values, then I can show, but have no clue about mathematical approach.  How do I solve it mathematically, using modular arithmetic? The following are two methods of building a link that has the sole purpose of running JavaScript code. Which is better, in terms of functionality, page load speed, validation purposes, etc.?    function myJsFunc() {     alert("myJsFunc"); } &lt;a href="#" onclick="myJsFunc();"&gt;Run JavaScript Code&lt;/a&gt;     or    function myJsFunc() {     alert("myJsFunc"); }  &lt;a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="myJsFunc();"&gt;Run JavaScript Code&lt;/a&gt; I have a Python regular expression that contains a group which can occur zero or many times - but when I retrieve the list of groups afterwards, only the last one is present. Example:  re.search("(\w)*", "abcdefg").groups()  this returns the list ('g',)  I need it to return ('a','b','c','d','e','f','g',)  Is that possible? How can I do it? Did spacetime start with the Big bang? Did spacetime start with the Big Bang?  I mean, was there any presence of this spacetime we are experiencing now before big bang? And could there be a presence/existence of any other space-time before the big bang? How does the propagation of gravity work for photons? Forms: Modal dialog or separate page in single page app? In my application, I have pages that show lists of some objects, for example "People" or "Contracts".  From these pages, the user may create a new object.  Often these objects only have a handful of properties, maybe 4 or 5.  My question is about the best approach for the forms used for creation of new objects.  Sometimes I have used a separate page, especially when the number of properties is greater than 5-6.  Sometimes I have used a modal dialog.  I have even seen some applications that insert an empty row into a table and you fill-in the values.  (I will not be doing that!)  Any UX-preferences or suggestions for what approach to take?  Also- is it important to be consistent between different types of objects?  Or is a mix of approaches OK?  The technology of my application (Ember.js, single-page app) allows me to navigate to a different page instantly, so any timing difference between approaches is not a factor.  In fact, the animation of the Bootstrap dialog takes longer than the page transition.  The application is a back-office administrative system for insurance companies. How does LIGO remove the effects of environmental noise? Since LIGO is dealing with readings at nanometers, events such as vehicles driving nearby, and constant (but extremely minor) tremors of the earth can cause movement with the mirrors at nanometers.  Such tiny movements are extremely difficult to measure, but can easily cause errors when using such a small scale.  How does LIGO remove these factors, and take precautions to prevent false readings due to noise? How can one cite theorems of references? I'm trying to find out why my application is very slow on a certain machine (runs fine everywhere else). I think i have traced the performance-problems to hard-disk reads and writes and i think it's simply the very slow disk.  What tool could i use to measure hd read and write performance under Windows 2003 in a non-destructive way (the partitions on the drives have to remain intact)? Why can't I say “She died from drinking 18 cans of Coca-Cola”? Instead, the correct sentence would be “She died of drinking 18 cans of Coca-Cola”. Why does that happen? i want to add watermark on some videos but problem is because image in some videos its too small and in some videos its too big, (i think it depends on input link resulution)   so all my videos have output '640:360' so how can i make watermark image to be same in all videos not on some videos smaller in some bigger   ffmpeg -i "link" -i "/var/www/logo/logo1.png" -filter_complex 'overlay=10:10' -vcodec h264 -crf 25 -preset superfast -maxrate 600k -bufsize 600k -aspect '640:360' -s '640:360' ....
