Did I burn the wrong .iso file? I have downloaded and burned the .iso on a MAC for installation on a Windows XP laptop that won't do much more than boot up. I am able to open the folder (from the DVD) on the XP laptop and it looks good (many folders and files). When I try to boot from the DVD, it gets caught up in repeating errors that say:  [###.###].[drm] nouveau 0000:01.00.0: Failed to idle channel 1   It will follow with the same message to channel 2. This is repeating until I power off the computer.  The computer on which I'm trying to boot the Ubuntu DVD is a Dell Inspiron E1705. The graphics card is not known. When I go into the display properties and look at the adapter type is says "VgaSave", manufacturer: Unknown. I do have obvious display issues but also can't connect to the Internet from this device either to attempt to load new drivers.  Is it possible that I have burned the wrong .iso file? Has anybody seen this?  It is a Dell Inspiron E1705. The graphics card is not known. When I go into the display properties and look at the adapter type is says "VgaSave", manufacturer: Unknown. I do have obvious display issues but also can't connect to the Internet from this device either to attempt to load new drivers.

Why does "unisex" mean both sexes? There are some places where men and women are segregated — for example public toilets and public swimming pool changing areas.  By this I mean, for example, that there are "Men's toilets" and "Ladies' toilets".  However, in some more cosmopolitan swimming baths, and other places, there are such things as unisex changing areas, or unisex toilets.  From my understanding uni- implies one, as in universe, unilateral or unicycle.  However when it comes to unisex, this means both sexes, so applies to two things.  How does uni- mean one in unisex? Does it mean one? Find all natural numbers $n$ such that ${(n+1)}^{1/2}-{(n-1)}^{1/2}$ is rational $$\int x^3\sqrt{4-x^2}dx$$ I tried changing the expression like this: $$\int x^3\sqrt{2^2-x^2}dx=\int x^3\sqrt{(2-x)(2+x)}dx$$ And that's where I got stuck. I tried integration by parts but it doesn't simplify the expression. What is a good replacement for a cable end cap? I was adjusting the tension of my front derailleur cable and managed to pop off the cable end cap. The cable is now quite frayed at the end and I think it would be difficult to attach another cap.  What would work as a suitable replacement for a cap? I've read that perhaps superglue or duct tape could work? Can a familiar attune and wear or use a magic item? Is it possible for a familiar to attune to and then wear or wield a magic item? Earlier this year, I read a huge (1000+ pg) novel about a cloistered group of monks that sort of worshiped math. The story involved alternate dimensions or time travel or something. A big thing in the book was coordinates, containing data like for speed or something as an alternate axis. There were several rings of the monastery.   At some point the main character was called out of his monastery to never return. I'm hoping to figure out the name so I can discuss it with my book club. rake db:migrate doesn't seem to work in production Calculating lat/lons from PostGIS table which has projected coordinate system? I have a PostGIS table in a projected coordinate system (EPSG: 28355 or MGA94 Zone 55). In QGIS (with the PostGIS manager plugin) I calculate a coordinate by performing the following SQL:  UPDATE gisprod.buildings SET easting = x(centroid(the_geom))    Now I want to add a "lat" and "lon" field to this table and calculate the values using the appropriate coordinate system, in this case that would be (EPSG:4283 or GDA94).   Is there a way I can specify in the SQL statement to calculate the x/y coord using a different coordinate system?

But now, using Ubuntu, I don't know how to bypass the proxy. I found some where that i can bypass the proxy by using putty software. Can you guide me how can I bypass proxy by that? I tried, but I was not able to do so. Kindly tell me some easy method to bypass proxy. I don't want to used websites like accesstoblockedsites.com. Java; String replace (using regular expressions)? As part of a project for school, I need to replace a string from the form:  5 * x^3 - 6 * x^1 + 1   to something like:  5x&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; - 6x&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; + 1   I believe this can be done with regular expressions, but I don't know how to do it yet.  Can you lend me a hand?   P.S. The actual assignment is to implement a Polynomial Processing Java application, and I'm using this to pass polynomial.toString() from the model to the view, and I want do display it using html tags in a pretty way. I have a distribution of microparticles that follows a lognormal distribution. The cumulative distribution function thus is given by:  $$ F_X(x;\mu,\sigma) = \frac12 \operatorname{erfc}\!\left(-\frac{\ln x - \mu}{\sigma\sqrt{2}}\right) $$ $$ \mu = ln(M) + \sigma^2 $$  Now, the plot of the distribution function should be exactly the same no matter if the particle diameter $x$ is given in micrometers or meters (as long as I adapt the x-axis accordingly of course). However, this only works if I only convert $x$ and $M$, while not touching the numerical value of $\sigma$, and I don't understand why. $F_X$ has to be unitless, so $x$, $\mu$ and $\sigma$ should all have the same unit, right? Simplest or nicest proof that $1+x \le e^x$ Disable automatic driver update for only one device in Windows 10 Is there a way we can disable automatic driver update for a specific device in Windows 10? The updated driver for that device (Intel Management Engine Interface 11.x in particular) causes problems on some laptops during. The version 9.x works perfect.  I don't want to disable automatic driver installation for all devices. Tabular with p type columns to fill page width I'm trying to use the eVis plugin in QGIS 3.16.3 to display geotagged photos (as I have in the past without difficulty), but the plugin has totally disappeared. Not only can't I find it as an icon or under the Database menu, but it doesn't appear in the list of plugins (and yes, I am looking in the complete list of all plugins!). Has it been moved somewhere I haven't come across or is it a bug?
