Are there any powers in Elite:Dangerous that you can work for and increase your standing through bounty-hunting or combat missions rather than delivering endless piles of contracts?
I want to advance in the ranks of Senator Lavigny-Duval. How can I get merit points? I know I can participate in expansion goals, but is there a better way than that?
Clock shows wrong time after switching from Ubuntu to Windows 10 I have dual booted Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 in UEFI mode (secure boot off). My time in BIOS is correct.  When I boot into Ubuntu and then boot into Windows 10, it shows the wrong time. I have to correct it manually or by the internet in Windows 10, and when I reboot into Windows 10 then it is not a problem. The clock will show the correct time. And then when I reboot to Linux the clock is correct, but switching back to Windows 10 the clock messes up again. How to differentiate read and unread messages in android ListView? Does leaning (banking) help cause turning on a bicycle? Remount drive without physically disconnecting? So I have unmounted a usb external hard drive but I went to re-mount it.  Is there a command that I can use to remount the drive?  Only way I know to re-mount a drive is to disconnect the usb cable from my Mac and reconnect it. I am using a "spinner" NSProgressIndicator in my cocoa app:     I would like to display it in a different color so that it will show up well on a dark background:     How would I go about doing this? My last resort would be to write my own custom NSView subclass that renders a custom animation, but I'm not even sure where to start on that front. Any help is appreciated. Why is King Arthur female? Why is Iskander tall? I've watched both the Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night anime (including the Unlimited Blade Works movie), but none of the visual novels, so no spoilers from that unless they are light spoilers. One thing that bothered me was that despite the fact that heroic spirits are defined by the public opinion/view of them, some heroes had qualities that were in direct opposition of what the public thought.  We know that heroic spirits, being sealed on their Throne of Heroes, are meant to be completely unchanged. This is the entire point of the Throne of Heroes. But this seems to be in opposition of the previous fact that heroic spirits are defined by what others think they are. Then there are Counter Guardians who are completely different, I believe, in that they are not sealed on their Throne of Heroes.  One particularly important Counter Guardian of the series is Arturia, or Saber. Arturia is female, despite the fact that she was treated by even her contemporaries as male, and has gone done in history as male. In fact, there isn't even any small hint as to Arturia's gender being anything other than male in our history, or the history of the Nasuverse (I believe). This being true, shouldn't Arturia be male?  This not being the case shouldn't Arturia be erased, or else create instability in the World? Same with Iskander. In history he is known for being pretty short, even for a Macedonian. That he is very tall means there is an incongruity with human knowledge and true fact.  Furthermore, in the Unlimited Blade Works movie Archer is revealed to be Heroic Spirit Emiya. If Heroic Spirit Emiya is summoned before he is even a hero, or acquired his gift from the World, etc., then how is it that Heroic Spirit Emiya is even strong at all? The power of a Servant being based on their popularity at the time of their summoning, Emiya should be weaker than pretty much every other Servant, and then some.  Maybe I'm just over-analyzing things, or I have some misconception. In any case, answers are appreciated. Expected value of sums Suppose we draw cards out of a deck without replacement. How many cards do we expect to draw out before we get an ace? I'm using an iPhone, but I would imagine it's the same for other mobile devices as well.  If you browse to any stack exchange site, you get a very well made mobile site.  The only gripe that I have is that I can't find any way to view the number of visitors to my questions?  Am I missing something or could this possibly be integrated into the mobile renderer? Trackpad not working after update to Ubuntu 14.10 on Dell Inspiron 15R When I updated from 14.04 to 14.10 I noticed my track-pad cursor and left and right mouse clickers were not working. I have tried looking this issue up and can not find any solutions anywhere. If anyone could help me that would be amazing, I am using a wired mouse to my USB port for a temporary fix. I have a Dell Inspiron 15R. My chooser (file-picker dialog) goes under the dock so I can't see buttons. What can I do? This is a neat little problem that I was discussing today with my lab group out at lunch. Not particularly difficult but interesting implications nonetheless  Imagine there are a 100 people in line to board a plane that seats 100. The first person in line realizes he lost his boarding pass so when he boards he decides to take a random seat instead. Every person that boards the plane after him will either take their "proper" seat, or if that seat is taken, a random seat instead.  Question: What is the probability that the last person that boards will end up in his/her proper seat.  Moreover, and this is the part I'm still pondering about. Can you think of a physical system that would follow this combinatorial statistics? Maybe a spin wave function in a crystal etc... On Takodana,      the main characters and various bar patrons can see the planet Hosnian Prime being destroyed by Starkiller Base with their (respective) naked eyes. How did they see this? Is the Hosnian system close enough to see? If it's not very close and they could just see the explosion, how did the light from it reach them so quickly? Why is this quotient space not Hausdorff? I have a directory with numerous files. Part of the files have the 755 permissions and the other part have 644 permissions. I'd like to convert the files with 755 permissions to 644. I have tried the following line by running it from the directory itself:  find . -perm 755 -exec chmod 644 {}\;   However as a result, the permission changed only for the directory itself and after changing it back I found out that the files permissions remained unchanged.
