Specifically, I want to disable the Alt + Space shortcut because on my new Dell keyboard I find that I am frequently hitting this key combination by accident.  I've seen  answer, but I am hoping we can do better. It seems ridiculous to me that one should have to install third party software in order to disable a keyboard shortcut. Surely there must be a may to do this somewhere in the Windows settings or with a registry key.
Is there a way to disable certain Windows 7 keyboard shortcuts?  Specifically, in this case, I want to disable Alt+Space and WinKey+Space.

Speed of light in a gravitational field? How do I solve the speed of light in gravitational field?  Should I just add gravitational acceleration in speed of light?  $$c'=c_0+g(r)t~?$$ Does wind raise air temperature? In my undergrad physics classes, temperature was described as "the average kinetic energy of molecules".  By simple, and probably naive, logic, one could then conclude that wind, which is basically just moving air, would raise the temperature of the air.  However, this seems too simple to be true.  Does wind actually slightly raise air temperature?  I can see a couple potential arguments against this idea:   It could be the case that the macroscopic wind and the microscopic kinetic energy of the air molecules don't really "interact", for lack of a better word. It could be the case that the macroscopic and the microscopic motions do "interact", but since the macroscopic wind is on such a large scale compared to the average kinetic energy of individual molecules, any system in which we use the average kinetic energy of the molecules is so small that the wind is effectively constant, and so it could be ignored. Regardless, I'm guessing that the temperature only depends on the relative motion of the air molecules, so the wind just isn't even relevant   Can anybody provide some more educated input? Shell command to sum integers, one per line? I am looking for a command that will accept (as input) multiple lines of text, each line containing a single integer, and output the sum of these integers.  As a bit of background, I have a log file which includes timing measurements. Through grepping for the relevant lines and a bit of sed reformatting I can list all of the timings in that file.  I would like to work out the total. I can pipe this intermediate output to any command in order to do the final sum.  I have always used expr in the past, but unless it runs in RPN mode I do not think it is going to cope with this (and even then it would be tricky).  How can I get the summation of integers? What do the symbols on the main menu mean? If you swipe all the way to the left on the menu and then some, this sequence of symbols appears. (Do not pay any mind to the white circles: it's where I was holding my finger. The space between the first few and the last three symbols is also not present in game.)    What gives? I would like to search my table having a column of first names and a column of last names.  I currently accept a search term from a field and compare it against both columns, one at a time with       select * from table where first_name like '%$search_term%' or      last_name like '%$search_term%';   This works fine with single word search terms but the result set includes everyone with the name "Larry". But if someone enters a first name then a space, then a last name, I want a narrower search result. I've tried the following without success.         select * from table where first_name like '%$search_term%' or last_name      like '%$search_term%' or concat_ws(' ',first_name,last_name)      like '%$search_term%';   Any advice?  EDIT:  The name I'm testing with is "Larry Smith".  The db stores "Larry" in the "first_name" column, and "Smith" in the "last_name" column.  The data is clean, no extra spaces and the search term is trimmed left and right.  EDIT 2:  I tried Robert Gamble's answer out this morning.  His is very similar to what I was running last night.  I can't explain it, but this morning it works.  The only difference I can think of is that last night I ran the concat function as the third "or" segment of my search query (after looking through first_name and last_name). This morning I ran it as the last segment after looking through the above as well as addresses and business names.    Does running a mysql function at the end of a query work better than in the middle? Getting the array length of a 2D array in Java A standard document (e.g. scrreprt) uses roman font family for text and Sansserif font family for titles etc. It is the other way round in beamer. How can I switch the two font families? Or why do beamer define the font families in this way?  For the background: I think this is my problem when using formulas, because they use the Sansserif font instead of the roman version. Formulas using the euler package look really poor.  P.S.: I compile with LuaLaTeX using TeXlive 2013. On my Toshiba Encore 8 Tablet I noticed that the CPU usage is very high. In Taskmgr / ProcessExplorer, I can see that OneDriveSetup.exe is hogging 1 CPU cores heavily for hours.    How an I solve this hang and finish the OneDrive Update? undefined reference to `__sync_val_compare_and_swap_4' error at compilation, using gcc 4.1.1 and 4.2.0 for Sparc v8 target I don't like Hell, can I go somewhere else? I just opened a nether portal for the first time, and I must say, it's not a very good location, a sort of narrow trench/cavern thingy without any obvious clues as to which direction is "out".  I'm not willing to simply move my overworld portal (due to dilation it is unlikely to have much of an effect, anyway), and was wondering if there was a way to force minecraft to generate a new personal Hell for me to explore (hopefully one that doesn't involve me stuck in some wall!). I'd like to know if there is a way to run  program/shell script without typing full path:  /opt/idea/bin/idea.sh How can I pass a class member function as a callback? I'm using an API that requires me to pass a function pointer as a callback. I'm trying to use this API from my class but I'm getting compilation errors.   Here is what I did from my constructor:  m_cRedundencyManager-&gt;Init(this-&gt;RedundencyManagerCallBack);   This doesn't compile - I get the following error:      Error  8 error C3867: 'CLoggersInfra::RedundencyManagerCallBack': function call missing argument list; use '&amp;CLoggersInfra::RedundencyManagerCallBack' to create a pointer to member   I tried the suggestion to use &amp;CLoggersInfra::RedundencyManagerCallBack - didn't work for me.   Any suggestions/explanation for this??  I'm using VS2008.  Thanks!! "rsync: failed to set permissions on ..." error with rsync -a or -p option I applied for a 90-day visa and got a long-term visit, single-entry tourist visa. The date given is 09-March-2015, and it's valid until 07-May-2015.  My agent says the 7th is the latest date I can travel to Dubai; once I enter I need to count 90 days. I entered on the 10th of March.    Is it true, or where can I get it checked?    Can I stay for another month, or do I need to leave before the 7th of May? count lines in a file I'm sure there are many ways to do this: how can I count the number of lines in a text file?  $ &lt;cmd&gt; file.txt 1020 lines I ask this Question on behalf of my neighbor.   Their 12 year old son saw his parents having sex.  As there is only one room in their home we can't say its the parents' mistake... but now the question is how do they handle the situation? What do two question marks together mean in C#? In Terraria I often try to defeat spazmatism first, but when he transformed, his flamethrower killed me. What is easiest way to kill The Twins? In Quantum Mechanics we usually consider operator-valued functions: these are functions that take in real numbers and gives back operators on the Hilbert space of the quantum system.  There are several examples of these. One of them is when we work with the Heisenberg picture, where we need to consider functions $\alpha : \mathbb{R}\to \mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H})$ such that $\alpha(t)$ is the operator at time $t$.  Another example is when we deal with exponentiation of operators, like when building the time evolution operator:  $$U(t,t_0)=\exp\left(-i\frac{H}{\hbar}(t-t_0)\right),$$  Here, the $\exp$ is usually understood as being defined via the eigenvalues of $H$.  The point is, the idea of a function $\alpha : \mathbb{R}\to \mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H})$ appears quite often in Quantum Mechanics, and sometimes one needs to differentiate these. In practice we do it formally, using all the properties we would expect, but I'm curious about how one would properly define this.  If we were dealing with bounded operators, then we could use the operator norm, which is available for this kind of operator, and define the derivative as we can usually we do when there's some norm around.  The point is that in Quantum Mechanics most of the time operators are unbounded.  So in the general case, how can one define the derivative of one operator-valued function?
