How many times to patch a tube before dumping?
What is the maximum number of pucture repairs an inner tube can take?
I'm using Linux (centos) machine, I already connected to the other system using ssh. Now my question is how can I copy files from one system to another system?  Suppose, in my environment, I have two system like System A and System B. I'm using System A machine and some other using System B machine.  How can I copy a file from System B to System A? And, copy a file from System A to System B? Automatically show connected mass storage devices on Windows desktop What exactly does Perl's "bless" do? I understand one uses the "bless" keyword in Perl inside a class's "new" method:  sub new {     my $self = bless { };     return $self; }       But what exactly is "bless" doing to that hash reference ? Why are there so many different ways to measure disk usage? When I sum up the sizes of my files, I get one figure. If I run du, I get another figure. If I run du on all the files on my partition, it doesn't match what df claims is used. Why are there so many different figures for the total size of my files? Can't computers add?  Speaking of adding: when I add the “Used” and “Available” columns of df, I don't get the total figure. And that total figure is smaller than the size of my partition. And if I add up my partition sizes I don't get my disk size! What gives? How to check if PHP array is associative or sequential? PHP treats all arrays as associative, so there aren't any built in functions. Can anyone recommend a fairly efficient way to check if an array contains only numeric keys? Basically, I want to be able to differentiate between this: $sequentialArray = [     'apple', 'orange', 'tomato', 'carrot' ];  and this: $assocArray = [     'fruit1' =&gt; 'apple',     'fruit2' =&gt; 'orange',     'veg1' =&gt; 'tomato',     'veg2' =&gt; 'carrot' ]; calculating expected number of packets. Conditional \endinput I want to prevent processing rest part of a package in case if it is loaded not from lualatex. For some reason I cannot load ifluatex package, so I borrowed definition of \ifluatex from that package and invented the following chunk of code:  \expandafter\ifx\csname luatexversion\endcsname\relax % = not \inluatex   %\typeout{^^J********************** not LuaTeX^^J}   \PackageError{babel}{     ^^J\space\space * Option russianu is intended for LuaTeX only.              ^^J\space\space * Option russian  is used instead.                     }   \relax   \input{russianb.ldf}     \let\@next@action\endinput \else   %\typein{^^J********************** LuaTeX^^J}   \let\@next@action\relax \fi \@next@action   It seemed to work but Is there a better solution. In particular, it is desirable to avoid introduction of \@next@action because it is used the only time.  Just to explain: my goal is to hack babel with option russian to make it working painlessly with LuaLaTeX without any additional hacks (as described, eg, in  and ) Since a while, 2 weeks, Dropbox does not startup anymore on my laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with GNOME shell.

What should I do to fix this? How is light emitted by an incandescent lamp I am looking for better understanding of how light is produced in an incadescent lamp. More specifically: how is the kinetic energy of electrons converted to light?  Are we dealing with interband transitions or with intraband relaxation involving photons? Is this Bremsstrahlung (electrons lose their energy as light when colliding with crystal impurities/defects)? Or is this a thetmal radiation resulting from Joule heating? How is the emission affected by presence of impurities and imperfections of the crystal lattice? Do phonons play a role? What properties make a material more suitable for use as a filament: should it be a metal? Should it have a crystalline structure? Will any metal produce light, if a high current is passed through it in vacuum?  Update The term describing the processes in the incadescent lamp is , see the posts on this subject  and . I'm new to Linux. I got the "Unix And Linux System Administration Handbook" It speaks of several verisons of linux and unix, and the commands for viewing linux man pages and not specific to ubuntu.   How do I view the manpages? How do i prove that $(p \vee q) \wedge (\neg p \vee r) \rightarrow (q \vee r)$ is a tautology without using the truth table? Reducing voltage with resistors Some websites and textbooks refer to $$\Delta x \Delta p \geq \frac{\hbar}{2}$$ as the correct formula for the uncertainty principle whereas other sources use the formula $$\Delta x \Delta p \geq \hbar.$$ Question: Which one is correct and why?  The latter is used in the textbook "Physics II for Dummies" (German edition) for several examples and the author also derives that formula so I assume that this is not a typing error.  This is the mentioned derivation:     $\sin \theta = \frac{\lambda}{\Delta y}$      assuming $\theta$ is small:      $\tan \theta = \frac{\lambda}{\Delta y}$      de Broglie equation:      $\lambda = \frac{h}{p_x}$      $\Rightarrow \tan \theta \approx \frac{h}{p_x \cdot \Delta y}$      but also:      $\tan \theta = \frac{\Delta p_y}{p_x}$      equalize $\tan \theta$:      $\frac{h}{p_x \cdot \Delta y} \approx \frac{\Delta p_y}{p_x}$      $\Rightarrow \frac{h}{\Delta y} \approx \Delta p_y \Rightarrow \Delta p_y \Delta y \approx h$      $\Rightarrow \Delta p_y \Delta y \geq \frac{h}{2 \pi}$      $\Rightarrow \Delta p \Delta x \geq \frac{h}{2 \pi}$   So: Which one is correct and why? Help with this trigonometry problem Upgrade to the latest PHP version in Ubuntu Trying to identify a science fiction short story from an anthology likely published before 1991.  Aliens invade during a nuclear war (which would be World War III, WWIII, WW3). The warring nations then turn their nukes on the landing sites, but the invasion succeeds.  Believe the setting is in the U.S., possibly Pacific Northwest, but definitely a mountainous region.  Based on negative inference from the aliens' description of humans as fur-less, no-tail, bipeds (or similar), the aliens are apes or monkeys.  The aliens describe Earth as worse than the Hell planet they previously conquered. They see our tanks and think that we can't have more than a few of those to fight with.  Yet the aliens are somewhat benign, as they take some children back to their parents for a stern talking-to after the children run an alien convoy off the road into a chasm by stringing a rope across the road. Blank white desktop icons on new Windows 7 install how can i display the latest items from another site collection I have a web application, with three site collections . and i want inside my team site to be able to display the latest pages that  have been added to my enterprise wiki site collection. so what are the available approaches which i can follow?  Thanks in advance for any help.  Regards Creating polyline-based "heatmap" from GPS tracks? This winter I am planning to track my downhill skiing/snowboarding using a GPS.  Most of my riding will occur at the same resort.  I would like to be able to create a sort of "heatmap" that shows the amount of runs that I have made in a given area.  As I add more and more GPS traces to my database, my goal would be to see a sort of linear heatmap of the most traveled areas.  Given the nature of downhill skiing, you would expect the uphill chairlift lines will be the "hottest" because it will be the only places visited over-and-over again.  Given that 1) my track will not be the same every time and 2) the area covered by following one "run" may be a few hundred feet wide, what might be the best way to analyze this "linear" data to create a sort of heatmap?  My thoughts were to buffer the lines, then intersect the polys to get a sort of Venn Diagram thing going.  My preference is to use open-source technologies.  I've got QGIS and PostGIS loaded and available.  UPDATE: In regards to @blah238's response, I was thinking of something that might be able to "collect" the number of passes ("runs") through an area, and then symbolize by the count.  Conceptually, this would be similar to ArcGIS "" (but for lines, not points) or  (but for multiple line in roughly the same area).  A more visual example of a similar concept might be a traffic-flow map, where highly-congested areas would equate to "highly-traveled" ski runs/areas:    I've read the following questions that may give some ideas, but they don't really address what I am trying to accomplish: How do I escape a backtick ` within in-line code in Markdown?
