Id prefer to play CS:GO in 4:3, with black bars down the sides.  I have an Intel Graphics card. I tried to set my graphics back to "maintain aspect ratio" but it doesnt work.  I use 4:3 800x600 in game, and 1280x720 on my desktop.  Does anyone know the answer to my problem?
My current desktop reso is 1366x768    In cs 1.6 I have selected display option as Normal and Resolution as 1024x768.     In this settings I don't get those vertical black side bars which make the playing screen square.     Atm it is rectangular but I wanted square.    How do I get the vertical black bars while playing cs 1.6?
Schengen Visa for both business and tourism When I gain control of a creature, do I also gain control of any auras or equipment attached to it? What would happen if I 'd a creature that had been enchanted by a bestow creature and cast a spell to give it protection from the enchantment's color on it to remove the bestowed creature?  For instance:  They have just bestowed a  on a  and passes the turn. I use Portent of Betrayal to take control of the Asphodel Wanderer, attack and in the second main I cast Gods Willing to give the Asphodel Wanderer protection from black. Nighthowler detaches and where does it go, my control, opponents control or graveyard?  As an additional question, in the same vein:  What if I destroyed the creature while it was on my side? So change the gods willing to a hero's downfall in the example.  Relevent (under state-based actions):     704.5n If an Aura is attached to an illegal object or player, or is not attached to an object or player, that Aura is put into its owner's graveyard. Let's say I have a generic member in a class or method, like so: public class Foo&lt;T&gt; {     public List&lt;T&gt; Bar { get; set; }          public void Baz()     {         // get type of T     }    }  When I instantiate the class, the T becomes MyTypeObject1, so the class has a generic list property: List&lt;MyTypeObject1&gt;. The same applies to a generic method in a non-generic class: public class Foo {     public void Bar&lt;T&gt;()     {         var baz = new List&lt;T&gt;();                  // get type of T     } }  I would like to know what type of objects the list of my class contains. So what type of T does the list property called Bar or the local variable baz contain? I cannot do Bar[0].GetType(), because the list might contain zero elements. How can I do it? Potential difference across a zero resistance wire So I started off with electrostatics and everything seemed nice and mathematical and justified and then "DC circuits" happened!  I just cannot understand the model of electron flow in electrical circuits.  Here are my specific doubts-:  1) If potential difference across a tiny cross section of conducting wire is zero, then why on earth does electron flow across that cross section at all? Never mind potential difference across the whole circuit.   2) Is there a constant electric field across a wire connected to a battery? If yes then how is potential difference across a zero resistance wire constant?   Shouldnt it be increasing?  Doesnt it violate ohms law?  If no,  then why do electrons flow at all?  Please take time to consider these doubts and relieve me of my frustration.  I havs searched through the net for this but every answer seems like beating around the bush.  All of the 4 books I have consulted do not address these facts to my satisfaction.   Frankly I think nobody understands this. Per User Named Credential and External Identity Users My question is almost similar to one mentioned in 'Auth Provider with per-user Named Credential' (). I am trying to authenticate and make a API call when a new or existing Salesforce community users try to log in. The Authentication is provided by 3rd party (Cognito). So, the requirement is :  User to be authenticated using the 3rd party system for login. After successful authentication and before community page is displayed, the API call is to be made to 3rd party system to get more details about the user.  In order to achieve this:  Created an Open ID Connect Auth. Provider Use the registration handler on the Auth. Provider to create/link a new/existing user. Use a login flow for API call. Use Per User Identity Type Named Credential to make API calls.  No, where I am having issue is once the user has authenticated successfully, how do I allow the user to make API call without authenticating it again. I am getting the error: An Apex error occurred: System.UnexpectedException: You don't have permission to view this data, enter credentials for the named credential in your personal settings. Or ask your Salesforce admin for help. I believe this error is due to the fact that the user is not listed under 'Authentication setting for External Systems'. My requirement doesn't allow me to authenticate the user again, so how do I achieve this using either APEX or any other way? Is the function Riemann integrable? If yes, obtain the value of $\int_0^1f(x) \ dx$      $f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac {1}{n},  &amp; \frac{1}{n+1}&lt;x\le\frac{1}{n}\\ 0, &amp; x=0 \end{cases}$   My attempt  $f$ is bounded and monotonically increasing on $[0,1]$. Also, $f$ has infinite discontinuities but only one limit point. Therefore $f$ is Riemann integrable. Now, to calculate the integration  $\int_0^1f(x) \ dx=\int_{1/2}^{1}1 \ dx + \int_{1/3}^{1/2}\frac{1}{2} \ dx + \int_{1/4}^{1/3}\frac{1}{3} \ dx+...$  $=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^2}-\frac{1}{n}+\frac{1}{n+1}$  How do I proceed from here? How do I calculate these summations? I know $\sum \frac{1}{n}$ is $\log 2$, but not the other two summations. Isometric Embedding of a separable Banach Space into $\ell^{\infty}$ I try unsuccessfully to install the ECW support (mainly to use ECW file in QGIS 2.2).

According to the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary,     The EFL learner is advised to use [ðə] before a consonant sound (the   boy, the house), [ði] before a vowel sound (the egg, the hour). Native   speakers, however, sometimes ignore this distribution, in particular   by using [ðə] before a vowel (which is in turn usually reinforced by a   preceding ʔ), or by using [ði:] in any   environment, though especially before a hesitation pause. Furthermore,   some speakers use stressed [ðə] as a strong form, rather than the   usual [ði:].   My question is: when native speakers use [ðə] instead of [ði] before a vowel sound, do they do it on purpose or accidentally? If it is on purpose, how do they (typically) decide which pronunciation to use? What is a valid reason to use [ðə] before a vowel sound? I have an Asus UL30JT. It has Nvidia Optimus technology which I am not really interested in. I currently rarely use this laptop with it being connected to power. And I want to be able to play video at high res, play games and do some OpenCL coding.  In the BIOS I switched it to NVIDIA only (non windows 7). Previously, this worked just fine, using the nvidia driver.  After upgrading everything was broken. I have added nomodeset and blacklist.nouveau=1 as kernel options.

I verified that the kernel options are in the grub configuration. I have purged all nvidia packages and tried to reinstall (multiple times...)  Currently I am at a loss. I have checked the following question:  But nothing there worked for me. I understand if you travelling in or to the US, you can lock your luggage using the TSA Luggage Lock. (Immigration is still able to open your luggage using their own special keys)  How about Europe? Especially Heathrow + Charles de Gaulle?    If the TSA Lock is not acceptable in Europe, are there any other alternative precautions I could use instead?  (FYI, information about the ) Does iCloud Two-factor authentication send a code to the same device as a log in request? My Apple-ID (e.g., on  ) is set up to require entry of a 6-digit code sent to my registered Apple products.  This code is being sent to the same device I'm currently requesting to log in. I feel this absolutely defeats the purpose of this 2-Factor Authentication: If a person knows my password, this person can receive the code on that device, and access my apple account without any problems.  Is this a bug or can I set up / change how this security step works? Never delete entries? Good idea? Usual? How do I help my third-grader focus on homework? My child just entered third grade, and the homework load is much higher this year, with a lot of writing and math drills. It is all work that she can do easily, but it's causing the whole family a lot of pain, because she's have a really hard time just sitting down and doing it — asking many questions about things she clearly actually knows, and getting distracted by the smallest thing going on around her. (Setting up a special quiet area isn't helping, because the distractions could be her pencil or a sudden burst of word association based on something in the lesson.)  So, a page of writing and a couple of pages of math which could be done in fifteen minutes total is taking an hour and a half. She can easily explain the reasoning behind the math problems, but when it comes to writing down what she just said, it's like pulling teeth. She'll slowly write a word, sounding it out in slow motion as she writes each word. And she'll say that she doesn't understand a question, but when she actually gets her mind pointed at it, she can write a great answer. And she's clearly picking up the concepts in class; I have no doubt that she actually understands, which is part of our frustration.  My wife feels like she's just wanting attention, but I think it's more about our daughter's own ability to focus. We both feel that sitting down and working painfully through each question isn't really helping her. That works, but my wife feels like it's just rewarding the behavior, and I feel like it's not really helping her learn any better focus on her own, which, you know, she'll need in actual life. And, we're happy to spend child with our kid, this pretty much the opposite of quality time.  Neither rewards or consequences seem to have any effect, and nor do charts. All of those things basically just seem to add another layer of complication, distraction, and misery. What else can we do? I tried running the following statement:  INSERT INTO VOUCHER (VOUCHER_NUMBER, BOOK_ID, DENOMINATION) SELECT (a.number, b.ID, b.DENOMINATION)  FROM temp_cheques a, BOOK b WHERE a.number BETWEEN b.START_NUMBER AND b.START_NUMBER+b.UNITS-1;   which, as I understand it, should insert into VOUCHER each record from temp_cheques with the ID and DENOMINATION fields corresponding to entries in the BOOK table (temp_cheques comes from a database backup, which I'm trying to recreate in a different format). However, when I run it, I get an error:  Error: Operand should contain 1 column(s) SQLState:  21000 ErrorCode: 1241   I'm running this in SQuirrel and have not had issues with any other queries.

Using getopts to process long and short command line options I've got a weird question. Assume that you have a small sample where the dependent variable that you're going to analyze with a simple linear model is highly left skewed. Thus you assume that $u$ is not normally distributed, because this would result in normally distributed $y$. But when you compute the QQ-Normal plot there is evidence, that the residuals are normally distributed. Thus anyone can assume that the error term is normally distributed, although $y$ is not. So what does it mean, when the error term seems to be normally distributed, but $y$ does not? An example of a non-abelian group $G$ where, for all $a,b\in G$, the equality $(ab)^{n}=a^{n}b^{n}$ holds for two consecutive integers $n$ I am looking for an example of a group $G$ where the equality $(ab)^{n}=a^{n}b^{n}$ holds for two consecutive integers $n$, but $G$ is not an abelian group. I've started do some calculations in the group $D_{4}$ (I gave up!) Do you know where I can find that example? Is it possible find such example without doing a lot of calculations?  Thanks for your help! I am trying to install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on a Dell XPS 13 (9350). The laptop came with Windows 10 pre-installed.
