Will my device work with Ubuntu?
Flex-box: Align last row to grid Calling the base constructor in C# Proving this can be done as follows: consider a finite group G and elements $g_i \in G$ for some integer $i$. Now consider $\langle g_i \rangle = \{g_i^n: n\geq 0\}$, a generator. It can be proved that $\langle g_i \rangle \leq G$ and that the order of $g_i$ is equal to the order of $\langle g_i \rangle$, so $|\langle g_i \rangle| \leq |G|$.  We can now use Lagrange's theorem which states that if $H \leq G$ then $|H|$ divides $|G|$ and we're done. But...  Is there a simpler way to prove this fact? Delete with Left Join in Oracle 10g What is the difference between currying and partial application? I quite often see on the Internet various complaints that other peoples examples of currying are not currying, but are actually just partial application.  I've not found a decent explanation of what partial application is, or how it differs from currying. There seems to be a general confusion, with equivalent examples being described as currying in some places, and partial application in others.  Could someone provide me with a definition of both terms, and details of how they differ? Symbolizing using RGB values from Excel in ArcGIS Desktop? I have an excel file with 2 attribute columns, 1-feature info 2-Number of color (RGB) that the current feature should be symbolize. This file file can be joined with the layer using the "feature info" field which is unique (join by attribute table). So i have as attribute the color number attribute for every polygon feature.  How can  i use this this information to symbolize every feature with their attributed color already imported from the excel sheet?

I know it's not possible to install a 32-bit driver in the traditional way, but I really cannot find a 64-bit driver for my memory card reader. Is there anyway I can somehow use this device with a 32-bit driver on a 64-bit Windows 7 installation?  I was thinking there might be a way to run a device in compatibility mode? Possibly even have a 32-bit device layer emulator or something?  I'm interested in any method to get this device up and running. A little look through an etymology dictionary shows that the root is Latin gigas with adjective form gigant.  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. I use a cookieless sub domain static.example.com to serve all images, js, and css files. This static sub domain has as its root directory the same directory as the parent http://example.com. So static.example.com/index.php will result in calling the same file as http://example.com/index.php  Google has taken up indexing static.example.com and I need to stop this.  I can't modify robots.txt since it would apply to both domains. Webmaster tools allows "temporary" removal of a link, but this needs to be permanent.  I registered this static domain through google as a separate site from example.com, but this doesn't seem to buy me anything since I can't see a way to block crawling without using robots.txt - which would block it from the parent domain.  Any other ideas?  UPDATE  Found this conversation on   I am looking into whether it's possible to insert a META tag dynamically into the header of every page called on the static domain using php  CLARIFICATION  I am not putting any content on static.domain.com. There are NO webpages on it that are called - it only serves images. I have it redirecting to the same root directory as the main site for ease of coding image links (not every image is fed from the same image path).  Google got a hold of the static web root address - probably because .htaccess redirects to index.php if a file is missing and then crawled it. Now Google is showing the static version of the same pages with search results. Previously, I have installed Windows 7 on my 320 GB laptop with three partitions 173, 84 and 63 GB each. The 63 GB partition was where the Windows was installed. The rest were for file containers.  Now I changed my OS to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I installed Ubuntu by replacing the entire Windows 7 on the 63 GB partition. The rest of the partitions remain as an NTFS Windows partition and I can still access them both (the 173 and 84 GB partitions).  Now I want to change the two partitions of Windows into an Ubuntu format partitions plus most importantly, I want to extend the 63 GB partition to more than a 100 GB because at the moment I am running out of disk space. Whenever I try to install any application, especially using wine, it always complains for a shortage of disk space.  How do I do the extending activity before I entirely format my laptop again and lose all the important files on my partitions? Exclamation(!) turned in to question mark(?) in title field I just submitted a question () with an exclamation (!) at the end of the title (with one space between the word and the exclamation) but it turned in to question mark (?).   I removed the space between the word and the exclamation, then it shows normal.   Is this an intended feature? Why is my total reputation less than my monthly reputation? When I went to the  to see my ranking in the reputation league, I saw this. Is this an error? My total reputation is less than my monthly reputation. The general consensus on a similar question,  is that "highly significant" is a valid, though non-specific, way to describe the strength of an association that has a p-value far below your pre-set significance threshold. However, what about describing p-values that are slightly above your threshold? I have seen some papers use terms like "somewhat significant", "nearly significant", "approaching significance", and so on. I find these terms to be a little wishy-washy, in some cases a borderline disingenuous way to pull a meaningful result out of a study with negative results. Are these terms acceptable to describe results that "just miss" your p-value cutoff? Can you end Beast Form early? Is there any way to end beast form early? I find myself using it to clear out a particularly hard portion of a dungeon at times, but then I have to sit around for 2-5 minutes so I can be my human character again (I have to feed to keep my health up, so I'm a werewolf longer than the 2.5 minutes).  Is there anyway to end it early? When does a Möbius transformation map $\Im(z)>0$ to itself? How do I run specific sudo commands without a password? Enlarge a partition without losing data with Windows 7 diskmgmt? I have a 320GB hard drive currently partitioned as below:     A long time ago, a computer expert formatted my hard drive like this because I wanted to install Ubuntu. I'm now ready to do this, but I'll never need so much free space (103.09GB). I want to enlarge the D:\ volume because it already has lots of data on it.  I know that when I open diskmgmt.msc, I could possibly enlarge the D:\ volume using some free space from the unformatted 103.09GB volume, because the program offers me the option to enlarge. However I'm afraid that I might lose data doing this.  Is it possible to enlarge the partition with this Windows 7 tool or am I better using GParted via "Try Ubuntu" on my Live CD? Would either of them cause data loss in this scenario? I want to update ubuntu 11.04 throught apt-get. So I added the following lines in apt.conf  export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port/ export ftp_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.netport/  export http_proxy=http://deepak:Deepak@123@12.1.1.1:3128   My question is: how do I insert special characters to a username or password?  For instance: my password for proxy is Deepak@123 and it is getting an error. How can I type accented characters like ë? Currently I use the character palette applet in gnome panel to put special characters into text.  This is okay, but I have to stop typing, select the character I want from the applet and then copy and paste.  Is there a way to simply type special characters with different key combinations? If so, how do I do it?
