How to fix blue screen of death (BSOD) error?
PC Blue Screens and then instantly reboots. How do I stop this or find the error later?
Cycles in permutations of a given size Is there a way to open a raster that is stored in ESRI V10.0 Geodatabase in QGIS V2.4?    I can open the vector layer, but there does not seems to be a way to open a raster. ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined in SELECT * The generic off-topic flag reason has different wording in the Android app I thought this would be a simple question, but I'm having trouble figuring it out. Not a homework assignment btw. I am a physics student and am just genuinely interested in physics problems involving math, which would be all of them.  So lets say we drop an object from a height, $R+r$, it falls toward earth. This height, $R+r$, is far enough away that the $g$ it experiences is a fraction of $g$ at sea-level. Let's just say that air resistance is negligible, and it wouldn't be that complicated to just integrate from $0$ velocity to the terminal velocity piece wise and deal with the rest of it later.  So the key here is that acceleration is changing with time. I thought I could simplify this by saying it changes with distance, and it has nothing to do with time, but this didn't really help, my guess is that maybe time is important (doh).  I tried integrating acceleration with time, and ended up nowhere. I tried integrating $a=GM/R^2$ with respect to $R$ from $R+r$ to $R$ and ended up with a negative function.  I saw somewhere someone tried to expand with taylor series, they even have something similar on hyperphysics, but I can't figure out how to obtain the polynomials that precede the variables.    This is the hyperphysics site where they use polynomials to find the distance.   Maybe I can't solve this because I haven't taken a course in differential equations yet. What I want to know is how to calculate the distance at any time. Where can the viewport clipping parameters be changed? Zooming in to inspect texture details in 3D view clips some closer faces like shown in the image. It's not the camera view so changing camera settings doesn't help.   Where can the distance to the clipping plane be adjusted? What is $\arctan(x) + \arctan(y)$ I know $$g(x) = \arctan(x)+\arctan(y) = \arctan\left(\frac{x+y}{1-xy}\right)$$  which follows from the formula for $\tan(x+y)$. But my question is that my book defines it to be domain specific, by which I mean, has different definitions for different domains:  $$g(x) = \begin{cases}\arctan\left(\dfrac{x+y}{1-xy}\right), &amp;xy &lt; 1 \\[1.5ex]  \pi + \arctan\left(\dfrac{x+y}{1-xy}\right), &amp;x&gt;0,\; y&gt;0,\; xy&gt;1 \\[1.5ex]  -\pi + \arctan\left(\dfrac{x+y}{1-xy}\right), &amp;x&lt;0,\; y&lt;0,\; xy &gt; 1\end{cases}$$  Furthermore, When I plot the function $2\arctan(x)$, it turns out that the book definition is correct. I don't understand how such peculier definition emerges. Thank you. Let us view our deleted comments If moderators can view , can we see comments we've deleted?

How to configure lightdm to allow manual logins in Ubuntu 14.04 I used to modify /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, adding the line greeter-show-manual-login=true, in order to allow login for hidden users and root.  Now I've just installed the new Ubuntu 14.04 and the file lightdm.conf is no longer located in /etc/lightdm. It's in /etc/init and has been totally modified.  How can I force lightdm login screen to show a field to input a login name? Evaluate the sum: $\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac1{F_{(2^n)}}$ Evaluate the sum:  $$\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{F_{(2^n)}}$$  where $F_{m}$ is the $m$-th term of the Fibonacci sequence. I need some support here. Thanks. I'm putting some type on a path, a circle; but when I do it, the type is upside down. How can I flip it so it reads the right way up? See image below: As per the following example, and as in  In bash, where has the trailing newline char gone?, I want to know "why" it happens    x="$(echo -ne "a\nb\n")" ; echo -n "$x" | xxd -p  # Output is: 610a62  # The trailing newline from the 'echo' command #   has been "deleted" by Command Substitution   I assume there must be some very significant reason for a shell action, namely Command Substitution, to actually delete some data from the command output it is substituting... but I can't get my head around this one, as it seems to be the antithesis of what it is supposed to do.. ie. to pass the output of a command back into the script process... Holding back one character seems weird to me, but I suppose there is a sensible reason for it...  I'm keen to find out what that reason is...

Please help to solve this problem. A Variation of the even-town odd-town problem Let assume facebook has $n$ users. Mark Zuckerberg decided that people are allowed to open groups under the following restrictions:      1) No two different groups can exactly the same participants.      2) The number of users in each group is even.      3) Every two group has an odd number of common users.      Denote by $m$ the maximal number of groups that can be formed in facebook under the restrictions mentioned above. Prove $m \leq n$.   I tried solving this by defined a matrix, multiplying it by its transpose and using some rank considerations I thought I could derive the bound, but I didn't succeed. Could you please give me a hint?  The question had anther subsection : prove that in the case that $n$ is even than we have stron inequality Take for example  both at SO and SU. Now that there's , (new) users asking a LaTeX question should at least be informed that there is a new Stack Exchange site dedicated to TeX and thus increases their chance of an answer. This should happen before the question is actually posted and ideally offer the option to post the question directly there instead (without the need to copy-paste).  LaTeX is just an example, there's also , ,  etc., and it is obvious that this can only be decided on a case-by-case basis which is why I certainly do not suggest migrating questions automatically when these tags are used. But informing users of that possibility would probably help the SE network in general. Converting Ubuntu 16.04 legacy mode to UEFI mode So it's time to ask my first question, something I've been struggling with for a while now. I know there are some questions around the same topic, however, none of them (which I could find) have been of any help.  Before you ask, I want to do some explaining of the core problem.  Why have I not just installed it in UEFI mode?  I was unable to boot the install (or live mode for that matter) in uefi mode. After some time spent searching on google I noticed that several people have had this exact problem: after the menu appears (the uefi one), whatever I do simply results in a black screen.  After reading this article , I though I'd try installing ubuntu in legacy mode, and then use boot-repair to convert my install to uefi.   NOTE: I am dual booting ubutnu alongside Windows 10. Currently I have to enter the bios settings to enable uefi boot in order to enter windows and vice versa.   What I have tried  Boot-repair  I then tried, of course, boot-repair while in a legacy mode session only to get this error message:     The current session is in Legacy mode. Please reboot the computer, and use this software in an EFI session. This will enable this feature. For example, use a live-USB of Boot-Repair-Disk-64bit (www.sourceforge.net/p/boot-repair-cd), after making sure your BIOS is set up to boot USB in EFI mode.   Boot-repair live usb  I tried creating a live usb with boot-repair 64bit only to encounter the same problem as when booting the ubuntu install  Why do I need to boot with UEFI?  Well I don't REALLY need too boot using UEFI, however, my current windows install does, and it would be great to be able to choose whether to boot windows or ubuntu without having to switch between legacy and uefi.  Need any more information?  Is there a way to manually create the /boot partition and do the necessary changes for my system to boot efi?  Other suggestions?  Thanks  EDIT:  While I have tried both on and off, secured boot has been turned off for most of my attempts.  Edit #2: (In response to Rod Smith and comments regarding more info)   I have tried rEFInd boot manager, it encounters the very same problem I have tried rufus (Windows) and unetbootin (Ubuntu) for creating the usb media, both of which producing valid media (for other computers at least) I have a friend with (almost) the same computer with the same problem Very few distros work, Arch and Gentoo are among those who do work I have a GTX 1060 card on a Multicom laptop Windows does indeed use GPT and UEFI boot   Many of my assumptions have been made after reading this post right here:   Especially the text right after something describing my problem:     There is no solution for these errors and the workaround is to disable UEFI to enable the Ubuntu installer to run in legacy mode; after which boot-repair can be used to install grub-efi which then allows/needs UEFI switched back on before Ubuntu will boot using UEFI.   I actually assumed I couldn't reach the F6 menu at all, but now I haven't had time to recheck that. Which tube size to prefer if several options apply? I have 40-622 (a.k.a. 28x1.5") tires, and  offers  two different sizes of tubes - their models "17" and "19" - as applicable for that tire size.  Ok, either one would surely fit well. But apart from weight difference (150 vs. 220 grams), is there any reason to prefer one over another? Is it better to have as small &amp; light tube as possible? Or perhaps a bit larger and heavier one would be more durable, as it wouldn't be stretched as much? Err on which side? Regex for parsing directory and filename I'm trying to write a regex that will parse out the directory and filename of a fully qualified path using matching groups.  so...  /var/log/xyz/10032008.log   would recognize group 1 to be "/var/log/xyz" and group 2 to be "10032008.log"  Seems simple but I can't get the matching groups to work for the life of me.  NOTE:  As pointed out by some of the respondents this is probably not a good use of regular expressions.  Generally I'd prefer to use the file API of the language I was using.  What I'm actually trying to do is a little more complicated than this but would have been much more difficult to explain, so I chose a domain that everyone would be familiar with in order to most succinctly describe the root problem.
