I have made my pen drive bootable. I am 100% sure there's nothing wrong with the pen drive. I have a DELL inspiron n5010, I had tried installing ubuntu 12.04 four months back but I dont remember where i went wrong.  When i boot my laptop and enter the boot menu ( by pressing the f12 key ) I don't get an option to boot from usb. What do I do?
I've downloaded the daily Ubuntu 12.04 iso.  I currently have windows 7 x64 operating system installed.  How can I make a bootable usb from the Ubuntu iso?
Why does main method in Java always need arguments? I have a very long equation that must be separated into two lines, and it has several pairs of nesting \left \right delimiters. Unfortunately, it seems that they need to be on the same line in order for them to work.  Also I'm using the align environment because I need the aligning functionality. Is there a way to have the size of delimiters automatically adjusted over multiple lines? I read with interest about Einstein's Theory of Relativity and his proposition about the speed of light being the universal speed limit.    So, if I were to travel in a spacecraft at (practically) the speed of light, would I freeze and stop moving?  Would the universe around me freeze and stop moving?  Who would the time stop for? Showing a recursive sequence isn't bounded $a_{n+1}=a_n+\frac 1 {a_n}$ Integral $\int_{1}^{2011} \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{2012 - x} + \sqrt{x}}dx$ Evaluate:  $$\int_{1}^{2011} \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{2012 - x} + \sqrt{x}}dx$$  Using real methods only.  I am not sure what to do.  I tried finding a power series, which was too ugly.

Which serial protocol or encoding scheme does this scoreboard use? I am trying to decode a signal stream coming from a Nevco scoreboard controller:    Packets like this are sent every ~2.7 ms.  I suspect it is some sort of UART signal because it is on the RX line of a ATMEGA48, but I cannot identify the finer protocol details like parity and stop bits. All the combinations I have tried returns junk data, so it may be another encoding scheme.  What's unusual is that the same signal is also sent to the MOSI pin of the microcontroller, but there is no clock signal anywhere.  A .vcd file is .   The shortest pulses (both high and low) are always 8us in length.    This is what two packets look like. Anyone got ideas? Is it possible to train a neural network without backpropagation? Many neural network books and tutorials spend a lot of time on the backpropagation algorithm, which is essentially a tool to compute the gradient.  Let's assume we are building a model with ~10K parameters / weights. Is it possible to run the optimization using some gradient free optimization algorithms?   I think computing the numerical gradient would be too slow, but how about other methods such as Nelder-Mead, Simulated Annealing or a Genetic Algorithm?  All the algorithms would suffer from local minima, why obsessed with gradient?

I am using Safari on macOS Sierra. I have added several commonly-used sites to my favorites section, like so:    (there are 10 icons, and all but 2 of them are displayed as the proper, correct icon from the site. For example, the Wikipedia icon has the large W icon. However, for Google Drive and Gmail, the icons are just big, ugly, generic G's)  I would like for the two Google sites to correctly display their icons as well. At first, I thought it was because all 8 of the "correctly displayed" sites had successfully configured their "Safari settings" or something like that, while Google failed to do this (although this doesn't sound too plausible).  However, if I instead go to the top menu in Safari, click Bookmarks > Show Bookmarks, I get the following:    Strangely, this time, the two Google sites do have correctly displayed icons, while it is instead three other sites (out of the 10) that aren't displayed: namely Wikipedia, Amazon, and New York Times.  So it seems that there are two sets of icons, "big" and "small", and for big icons, Google Drive and Gmail are not displayed correctly, while the other 8 are, and on the other hand, for small icons, Google Drive and Gmail are displayed correctly, while Wikipedia, Amazon, and NYTimes are not.  I actually don't care too much about the small icons, but I would really like for all the big icons to display correctly. How can I do that? Why can rm remove read-only files? If I create a file and then change its permissions to 444 (read-only), how come rm can remove it?  If I do this:  echo test &gt; test.txt chmod 444 test.txt rm test.txt   ...rm will ask if I want to remove the write-protected file test.txt. I would have expected that rm can not remove such a file and that I would have to do a chmod +w test.txt first. If I do rm -f test.txt then rm will remove the file without even asking, even though it's read-only.   Can anyone clarify? I'm using Ubuntu 12.04/bash. How can I remap Caps lock to both Escape and Control? How do I make a 2D game resolution independent? I'm working on a simple 2D game. I've finished the mobile phone version.  However, my boss wants the game to works on his RT. I'm doing the "conversion" but my buttons are in the wrong places, because I hard-coded the screen size, like this:   texture = game.Content.Load&lt;Texture2D&gt;("StartScreen");  mainFrame = new Rectangle(0, 0, game.GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Width, game.GraphicsDevice.Viewport.Height);   // button definitions  startbrect = new Rectangle(300, 258, 88, 88);  startbtext = game.Content.Load&lt;Texture2D&gt;("bplay");   In this example, mainframe is fine, but startbrect isn't, because I defined the size to match a Windows phone's screen. How can I handle responsive design when all Windows 8 phones' screens are different? Is there a formula or macro to calculate each time the good size?
