unable to format android microSD card
MicroSD card is set to Read-only state. How can I write data on it?
How to calculate temperature in Wire? Let's say I have 1m of 2,5mm² copper wire, insulated with H07V-K. The wire carries 40A and environment temperature is 25°C. The wire is suspended in free air. How hot will the wire get? And how can I calculate it for other values?  The use case is a 12V-230V AC converter I want to hook up to my car and determine the minimum wire thickness required. Because it's only used from time to time and not buried in a wall I suspect I can use thinner wires. This is a temporary thing and doesn't need to be up to code. understanding the commutator of dihedral group Let  $G=D_{2n}=⟨x,y|x^2=y^n=e,  $ $yx=xy^{n-1}⟩$  I need to find $G'$ [ the commutator of G]  now I understand that $G'$ is the subgroup generated from $ U=xyx^{-1}y^{-1} , $ $ \ \forall x,y \in G$ So, $U=&lt;y^2&gt;$  whats the strategy  here ? How can I get a DisplayLink USB monitor work under Ubuntu? I have a DisplayLink-based external USB monitor, which has both power and data over USB, and seems to work perfectly under Windows 7, but only can display a text console under Ubuntu 10.10, and that I can only use when I am actually switched to it. So the only Use I can have so far is to have some text-based monitoring or console that I can watch while working on the graphic display.   I know there are some development done for DisplayLink, but I never could get it to actually run properly.   Yes, I tried the detailed setup described in other , but they did not work, and instead crashed my X that I had to restore.   Merci :-) Proof of Convergence: Babylonian Method $x_{n+1}=\frac{1}{2}(x_n + \frac{a}{x_n})$ Kolmogorov proved, that, as one considers independent (not necessary equally distributed) Random Variables: $\{X_n\}_{n\ge0}\subseteq \mathcal L^2$   With $\mathrm{Var} (X_n)=\sigma^2_n$ and without loss of generality $E[X_n]=0$.  If $\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{\sigma^2_n}{n^2} \lt \infty$ then SLLN holds, that is:  $$\frac1n\sum_{k=0}^n X_k \rightarrow 0 \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\text{a.s.}$$  Something different:  Also it is known, that if $\sup_{n\ge0}\sigma^2_n =: v \lt \infty$ pairwise uncorrelated $(X_n)_{n\ge0}$ will suffice for SLLN to hold.  My question in view of this situation: Is it possible to weaken the condition of $(X_n)_{n\ge0}$ beeing independent and instead merely consider pairwise uncorrelated $(X_n)_{n\ge0}$? ... but still be required for applications that need admin privilegies?

For reference I've seen this setup on amazon's e3 instances  Any idea? Where is the "Add vector layer"-button in GRASS 6.4.4. plug-in QGIS 2.10.1? I've just downloaded and installed the new version of QGIS 2.10.1 with GRASS 6.4.4.  When opening a new GRASS mapset and importing layers, I missed the button "Add a new vector layer". I've updated the GRASS plugin, but again the button wasn't there (all other GRASS symbols except "add raster layer" were visuable).  It's maybe a stupid question of a GIS beginner, but what can I Do? Is there an option to add (not import) a vector layer via the GRASS toolbox? How to set up beamer to grey out past items but hide future items?

So in its derivation to English, why did the second "g" get retained in gigantic but was dropped from giant?  I have an inkling that the word giant may have travelled through French on its way to English, where it may have been pronounced "gee-yant" or "jee-yant" with a change to the second "g" that was then dropped when taken into English.  However, the "g" is retained as a hard "g" in gigantic. What is the difference between an "API," a "framework," an "IDE," and an "engine?" Why won't my taskbar display on my secondary monitor? On my secondary monitor (currently using Windows 10), my taskbar will barely show up. I've tried adjusting the resolution to lower ones (it recommends 1920x1080) and it doesn't do much. Is there a way to adjust the taskbar so I can see it?  That is about what I see. I could make it bigger via Snipping Tool and see my entire desktop on the picture but not normally.

Place questions with X net downvotes on hold automatically To resolve the frequent issue of poor question unfairly gaining answers, and thus paving the way for more poor questions to be asked  I Propose  EDIT: From feedback, have changed net vote threshold to 5 (to at least match that of the current 5 users at 3k rep) END EDIT     If a question has 5 net downvotes, the question is put   on hold automatically, and no answers are allowed until the question   is resolved/has been edited and net votes are > -5.   The net vote threshold could be perhaps different, to avoid grey area questions being on hold unfairly, but this also needs to be high enough to allow for early action.  On hold note, something such as:     This question has been put on hold via community voting on the   question, and cannot receive answers. To resolve this, edit and   improve the question.   This proposal would assist in stopping poor questions from receiving answers, as currently questioners not wanting to put in any effort know they will likely get an answer eventually.  This could also help improve site quality by making people improve their questions before they can have answers, so answers are only given to decent questions. Computer unstable at lower temperatures My computer is playing some strange joke at me, and I'm at a loss.  Everybody knows that hot temperatures causes many components to become unstable and even cause damage. When I built this machine, I was careful to do a bunch of experiments with different airflow configurations, with CPU-and-GPU intensive benchmarks running, and measuring the temperature at different points to find the best configuration.  Generally, the internal temperature of this machine is very close to ambient temperature (with 2 exceptions: the GPU always runs ~10°C above ambient, and the CPU goes to at most ~12°C above ambient when running CPU-intensive applications).  Now comes the problem: at really cold mornings. At cold mornings (~10°C (50°F) or below), the system shows really strange general instability. Beeps from the BIOS, the operating system displays strange messages about memory corruption and PCI devices that failed to initialize, and then, everything hangs. The computer hangs to the point that all USB devices turn of. Hitting the Reset button blanks the screen but the mainboard fails to proceed to the boot.  I never thought that low temperatures could cause computer instability. And 10°C is not that cold, it is still within operating temperatures of all components as far as I checked.  I'm quite sure it is related with the temperature. There were too many cold and warm mornings that demonstrated that the problem only showed in the cold ones. I'm working around this problem by letting the computer sit at the GRUB menu for some 5-10 minutes before letting the OS start, or blowing hot air inside the case if I'm in a hurry.  I don't know what should I approach next to find the source of this problem. Since it is difficult to reproduce (I need a cold morning, and the computer must be cooled down (powered off for many hours)), I need to plan ahead the experiment, since it stabilizes after a few minutes on.  Machine is an ASUS P5VDC-X equipped with Intel P4 64-bit 3GHz, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a 500W PSU and an nVidia GeForce 9600GT. Everything else was already disconnected/removed before and the problem persisted, so the problem should be in one of these remaining parts.  Any help is appreciated! Removed Python 3 and now Ubuntu Software Center, terminal and other applications don't work I am a new Ubuntu user running Ubuntu 13.04.  I've been trying to install and use a DeDRM tool, but I've been having problems doing so. I was following some directions that said I needed a version of Python 2.7, but not anything Python 3.0 or later (because 3.0 versions are missing some necessary libraries?). I tried to install Python 2.7.5.6, but it didn't work. I thought it was probably because I had the later version of Python, so I went through terminal and removed Python 3.3, so I could install the earlier version of Python.  Now that I've uninstalled Python 3.3, a lot of applications no longer work, including the terminal and the Ubuntu Software Center. I have no idea how to fix this problem now. Basic Electronics Book I need basic electronics books  (diodes,transistors,current.. etc) as I am just starting out with electronics and want to have something to read over the holiday.  Any suggestions of good beginners' books? After writing the FreeNAS IMG to a 16 GB USB flash drive, I can now only use 938 MB. I used the Win32 Disk Imager tool to write the IMG to the device. Then later, when I inserted the the USB drive into my Windows 7 computer it said that it had to be formatted, because it couldn't read it. I believe this is normal. So I formatted it inside Windows using the format option when prompted. So in Windows Explorer now, 938 MB is reported as capacity of this device.    Also, when i check the properties dialog box I can see the same numbers.    And when I check with diskmgmt.msc I can see there are several volumes I don't recognize and unallocated space of 12.79 GB.    Now, I have another 2 GB USB flash drive with the same problem. It too was used for FreeNAS, and it too has a reported capacity of only 938 MB. I thought it was broken there for a while, until I saw the same problem with this 16 GB model.  I tried using diskpart on the 2 GB model, and I saw that there were several partitions there (list partitions) just like on this one. So I used the clean option to try to wipe it, but that wiped off everything so it's totally useless now. I'm not sure how to rebuild it.  Is this a standard routine, like part of the whole "user experience", that whenever you make a bootable USB falsh drive with FreeNAS, it messes up your device? I am new to FreeNAS, so i wouldn't know. But it sure looks like it. Maybe it is in fact the format operation in Windows that messes things up... I don't know. It's not very nice.  How do I restore the capacity back to 16 GB-ish (14.9 GiB)?
