How to stop Katoolin from crashing Ubuntu?
I've been wondering about this one for a while; I find it a little weird how abruptly it happens. Basically, why do we need just three uniforms for $Z_n$ to smooth out like it does? And why does the smoothing-out happen so relatively quickly?  $Z_2$:     $Z_3$:    (images shamelessly stolen from John D. Cook's blog: )  Why doesn't it take, say, four uniforms? Or five? Or...? How can I change the default location for bluetooth file transfers? I have an Android 2.3 device (Samsung Galaxy Y Duos, S6102) and want all files that I receive via bluetooth to save to my SD card.  How can I do that? “situation where” vs. “situation in which” Clicking leave closed shows the reopen pop-up I'm trying to create globally-unique identifiers in JavaScript.  I'm not sure what routines are available on all browsers, how &quot;random&quot; and seeded the built-in random number generator is, etc. The GUID / UUID should be at least 32 characters and should stay in the ASCII range to avoid trouble when passing them around. Why does the standard error of the intercept increase the further $\bar x$ is from 0? The standard error of the intercept term ($\hat{\beta}_0$) in $y=\beta_1x+\beta_0+\varepsilon$ is given by $$SE(\hat{\beta}_0)^2 = \sigma^2\left[\frac{1}{n}+\frac{\bar{x}^2}{\sum_{i=1}^n(x_i-\bar{x})^2}\right]$$ where $\bar{x}$ is the mean of the $x_i$'s.  From what I understand, the SE quantifies your uncertainty- for instance, in 95% of the samples, the interval $[\hat{\beta}_0-2SE,\hat{\beta}_0+2SE]$ will contain the true $\beta_0$. I fail to understand how the SE, a measure of uncertainty, increases with $\bar{x}$. If I simply shift my data, so that $\bar{x}=0$, my uncertainty goes down? That seems unreasonable.  An analogous interpretation is - in the uncentered version of my data, $\hat{\beta}_0$ corresponds to my prediction at $x=0$, while in the centered data, $\hat{\beta}_0$ corresponds to my prediction at $x=\bar{x}$. So does this then mean that my uncertainty about my prediction at $x=0$ is greater than my uncertainty about my prediction at $x=\bar{x}$? That seems unreasonable too, the error $\epsilon$ has the same variance for all values of $x$, so my uncertainty in my predicted values should be the same for all $x$.  There are gaps in my understanding I'm sure. Could somebody help me understand what's going on? OGR DXF to KML conversion I'm curious of how illusions would affect spells or abilities that require a target to be looking at something. A good example of this would be Medusa's Petrifying Gaze which has the following effect:  Petrifying Gaze: When a creature that can see the medusa's eyes starts its turn within 30 feet of the medusa, the medusa can force it to make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw if the medusa isn't incapacitated and can see the creature. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the creature is instantly petrified. [...]  So if someone were to cast Minor Illusion to put a bag over Medusa's head, would other player/creatures who do not realize that the bag is an illusion be affected by the gaze if they were looking in the direction of it? Does the illusion block the effect? Using mask as a garbage matte to hide an object Client-Side Rendering/JS Link documentation? Has there been any sort of documentation or anything like that released for SharePoint 2013 Client-Side Rendering/JS Link?  Anthing unofficial? Any dates for when documentation might be released? indentation of a whole paragraph What are point releases in LTS versions? Is $0\,\mathrm{m}$ dimensionless? Journal vs conference publications when looking for a job in in computer science I'm currently a post doc in theoretical computer science and I have a double digit number of conference publications, about half of which are at so called "tier 1" conferences (SODA,STOC,...). Unfortunately I only have 1 journal publication so far, mainly due to coauthors dragging their feet.   Will the lack of journal publications have a great impact when applying for a faculty job in cs-theory at some point, and is it advisable to try to up this number before applying? Or is this fully compensated by having sufficiently many conference papers? What is the difference between    a parameter passed by reference a parameter passed by value?   Could you give me some examples, please? Does magic jack work on Ubuntu? Does magic jack work with Ubuntu? I originally had my magic jack on a computer with windows XP and I decided to switch to Ubuntu but I still want Magic jack. When we implement the Always Encrypted feature in SQL Server 2016, do the .mdf files, .ldf files and .bak files get encrypted as well?  I would like to know if the data/log/backup files gets encrypted or not. Include sorting of accepted answer on profile I have few things on my mind:   I viewed my profile and I wanted to sort my answers by  "Accepted Answer, Votes" Wanted to know how many answers I've made that is marked as  the accepted answer. Sort by Most liked Question: I'm referring to my question who  have the most numbers of favorites. I wanted to sort the questions I created order by accepted or  unaccepted questions.    1 &amp; 2 seems useful to me but 3 &amp; 4 I don't think are that useful. But who knows, someone in this site might find it useful one day!  My POV: My answer is only sorted by Votes, I also want to see a list of accepted  answers on my profile probably not just to know how many accepted answers  I have but also to know what are the accepted answers that I have. Determining if an Object is of primitive type I have an Object[] array, and I am trying to find the ones that are primitives. I've tried to use Class.isPrimitive(), but it seems I'm doing something wrong:  int i = 3; Object o = i;  System.out.println(o.getClass().getName() + ", " +                    o.getClass().isPrimitive());   prints java.lang.Integer, false.  Is there a right way or some alternative? What does the explicit keyword mean? What does the explicit keyword mean in C++?
