Why isn't Ubuntu using HTTPS by default when accessing software repositories?
Are repository lists secure? Is there an HTTPS version?
Random number generator only generating one random number Clipping image with Basic (ArcView) level license of ArcGIS Desktop? Is there a way to trim a geo-referenced air photo to an irregularly shaped boundary?    I tried the clip tool shown in my attachment, but it didn't work.  It looks as though the output extent field requires a rectangularly shaped polygon as the clipping feature.    Can I even do this in ArcView?    I've never had a request to do anything like this before.        I do use Photoshop and other similar software packages.  I could just go in to an environment like this &amp; start painting everything outside of my boundary in white, but then I would have to come back in and geo-reference the image again, and it just strikes me that there must be a faster and easier way (even though I only have ArcView 9.3). SQL injection that gets around mysql_real_escape_string() File sync error (AUTH_FAILED) Recently I started getting a File sync error on all 3 of my PCs running Ubuntu One.  One is running Ubuntu, the other 2 are running Windows 8.  Looking at the list of clients on the web, none of them were there anymore.    I found this article:      On how to fix the issue for my Ubuntu PC and it worked perfectly.  Now I am looking for a similar fix for Windows but haven't found one yet.  I've tried un-installing Ubuntu One and re-installing it, but it must still be holding the keys somewhere because it never asked me to login again.    Does anyone know where I can clear these keys to get my files syncing on Windows again? What happens to half of the energy in a circuit with a capacitor? For a simple circuit with a battery supplying a voltage $V$ to a capacitor, let us assume that the charge on the capacitor is $Q$. Now, the work done by the battery or the energy supplied is given by the relation:  $$W=QV$$  But the energy stored in the capacitor is given by:  $$U = \tfrac12 QV$$  The value of $Q$ as well as that of $V$ should be the same in both the equations.  Now my question is, where is the other half of the energy that the battery supplied? Grammatical number agreement in a complex phrase using singular "they" Weak solutions to the Neumann's problem (Evans PDE) Why are my render times 30+ minutes, but other people's are ~3 minutes? I am currently using Sheep It! to render my blend (built on v2.68c) on multiple computers, and I noticed something rather strange. According to the log on-site, the frames rendered from other people's blends were completing in 3 to 4 minutes. This was on an 4 core i5. My main rig (with an 8 core i7) was completing frames in no less than half an hour. How is this possible?  To clarify, these people's frames are very complex, often with very detailed textures. I have 2 objects in my blend. Below are the options I changed for my blend:   Aspect Ratio: 1000px x 1000px Output: PNG Clamp Indirect: 0.98 Render Sampling: 128 Min Light Bounces: 0 Max Light Bounces: 4 Cycles Render   Is there something in there that I should change to make it go faster? I can't really comprehend how it's going to quickly.  EDIT: To answer what @Duarte asked...   System Specs: i7-920, 3GB DDR3, GT 630, Windows 10 I have two circles, extended to form a sort of coin with a star on it. It is not complex at all. I have Firefox and Steam running in the background, but not actively. I've been away from the computer for 8 hours and noticed this behavior. (I am running Blender from Steam.) I made sure when I began rendering that the blend was set for CPU rendering.          And to answer what @pycoder asked, yes, I am using Cycles Render. What is the limit of $n \sin (2 \pi \cdot e \cdot n!)$ as $n$ goes to infinity? I tried and got this   $$e=\sum_{k=0}^\infty\frac{1}{k!}=\lim_{n\to\infty}\sum_{k=0}^n\frac{1}{k!}$$ $$n!\sum_{k=0}^n\frac{1}{k!}=\frac{n!}{0!}+\frac{n!}{1!}+\cdots+\frac{n!}{n!}=m$$ where $m$ is an integer. $$\lim_{n\to\infty}n\sin(2\pi en!)=\lim_{n\to\infty}n\sin\left(2\pi n!\sum_{k=0}^n\frac{1}{k!}\right)=\lim_{n\to\infty}n\sin(2\pi m)=\lim_{n\to\infty}n\cdot0=0$$  Is it correct? Annoying FrontEnd bugs in Mathematica 10 Broadcom Wireless Drivers unclaimed after installing update 16.04 I would like to see an explicit example of a non-trivial elementary extension of the structure $(\mathbb{N}, +, \cdot, 0, 1)$ where $\mathbb{N}$ includes zero. Most of all I am interested in countable ones. I am studying General Relativity and some basic QFTs. It bothers me a lot that different books use different metric signatures, i.e. $(-+++)$ and $(+---).$ Can anyone tell me the advantages of using both of them, or why some people prefer the former while some prefer the latter? I would like to know which one should I while tackling different problems. Deleting a middle node from a single linked list when pointer to the previous node is not available Is it possible to delete a middle node in the single linked list when the only information available we have is the pointer to the node to be deleted and not the pointer to the previous node?After deletion the previous node should point to the node next to deleted node. Which JDK version is compatible with Netbeans on Ubuntu? I'm trying to install Netbeans on my Ubuntu. It was successfully installed but was unable to create new projects or new files. I have installed JDK 12 and then I removed it because I found here a solution that recommended removal of latest versions of JDK and set JDK 8 as default. I did what solution said but now I can't install JDK 8. It is showing me this error message:   E: Package 'oracle-java8-installer' has no installation candidate    So I started searching on the Internet about the solution and I found that "Oracle Java (JDK) 8 Installer PPA (DISCONTINUED)".   What should I do now? I've been exploring implementing Angular 2.0 in Salesforce custom pages and found that if I set showHeader=true in the VF page, I run into some issues.   It looks like including the header loads "sfdc/main.js", which defines the browser's Map() function without checking if one already exists. This removes some needed prototype functions that are native to ES5/6 such as "set" (needed in Angular 2) and "delete" (needed for an ES6-shim).   I've found that even including an ES5 shim before the ES6 one in attempts to restore some of these prototype methods does not work. If I set showHeader=false, "sfdc/main.js" is not loaded and everything works fine.   Is there a recommended way around this, or is it possible to update "sfdc/main.js" to conditionally define Map() if one does not already exist? It looks like it leaves out quite a few native functions supported in modern browsers.  Thanks What's the difference between a shunt resistor and a four-terminal resistor? I want to know if the four-terminal resistor and the shunt resistor are the same.   Is there another use for the four-terminal resistor except measuring current? Often I need two (or more) map frames in map layout to present different data next to each other. It is easy to make multiple map frames in QGIS Print Composer. BUT...  It is in the nature of my work that very often I need to update some map frames because data I am presenting in map changed or I need to add/remove layer, change scale, projection etc.  So if I create one map frame, lock it (Lock layers for map item), create second map frame with different layers, scale,projection etc. and than realize I need to change something in first frame, I can't find a simple way to do it...  To simply do that in Mapinfo, there are more Map Windows, in ArcGIS there are multiple Data Frames. What is in QGIS to achieve that? I would like to ask a question not about software architecture, but physical architecture, i.e., the design of buildings and other elements of the "built environment".  I was looking for a Stack Exchange site to ask what the meaning is of the huge stone symbols on the side of the new Scottish Parliament building. Difference between generalized linear models & generalized linear mixed models I am wondering what the differences are between mixed and unmixed GLMs. For instance, in SPSS the drop down menu allows users to fit either:   analyze-&gt; generalized linear models-&gt; generalized linear models &amp; analyze-&gt; mixed models-&gt; generalized linear     Do they deal with missing values differently?    My dependent variable is binary and I have several categorical and continuous independent variables.
