I am buying fried chicken already made and making pulled pork for 100 people (80 adults and 20 children). How many pieces of chicken should I buy?
How much meat should I serve per person?
Performing test for homogeneity of variance without samples I'd like to perform a test for homogeneity of variance in r, but I don't have samples available to test.    I have the sample mean of each group, the sample deviation of each group, and the sample size of each group(100).  Brand    ybar_i  s_i    n_i --------------------------- LowTar   9.64    .291   100 A        10.22   .478   100 B        10.77   .372   100 C        11.57   .352   100 D        13.59   .469   100   I'm thinking I should use the Levene test from Lawstat package, but that requires samples to test.  Or I think I could use the Fmax test. but that also requires samples. I have an Android device which is running Android 4.0.3 (or something like that).  My little brother decided to try and guess my lock screen pattern the other day, and ended up locking me out.   I have since been unable to log back in to the tablet using my Google Account details. I provided the correct login details, however it says they are incorrect. Could this be connected to the fact I have no internet connection?  I have no internet connection as the device is WiFi only, and the WiFi is currently turned off. I cannot turn it on, as I am locked out.  How can I log back into my tablet without wiping the user data? Are both expressions correct? If yes, do they have different meanings? It seems to me that I came across both of them in books, but I'm not sure. I can't distinguish the difference in meaning between these  two sentences.   It really doesn't matter.  It doesn't  really matter.    It seems that there is a nuanced difference, but I cannot see what this is. Indexing redundantly named vector in R Placing listing and figure side by side in memoir Why does "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" not refer the variable name or column? How to create a squiggle arrow with some text on it in TikZ? I need to define a new command to create a squiggle arrow with some text on it. Something similar to what \xrightarrow command produces but with wiggly arrows as in \rightsquigarrow. The length of the arrow should automatically be adjusted to fit the text above it and I do not know how to handle this part in TikZ. Any ideas would be much appreciated. Is there a third Holmes sibling? Is there a font, available to -all- TeX users, that includes a glyph that can be recognized as the Unicode Replacement Character?  I realize I can use XeTeX with a  (or maybe any character not in the font), but I'm interested in using standard pdfTeX with standard LaTeX 2e and a pure ASCII input file.  The glyph typically looks like a filled black diamond with a white question mark inside it:    If no such font is available, what's the best robust strategy for getting such a glyph into a standard pdfTeX document (one whose input file has no Unicode or non-ASCII UTF-8 byte sequences in it) without using XeTeX or similar?  Inserting TikZ commands?  Raw PostScript?  Right now, for lack of a better solution, I'm using a \textbullet, simply because it's the boldest/blackest glyph I can think of, and it's available in most standard fonts.  Creating a custom font with one glyph in it is not really viable, or if it is it's a strategy of last resort, unless (perhaps) it can be done automatically and on the fly when processing the document each time.  (Reposted from the texhax mailing list: ; originally posed by Doug McKenna) How to set a letter to the margin of the page and position it vertically according to alphabetical order? Number of ways to pair off $2n$ points such that no chords intersect For $n \geq 0$ evenly distribute $2n$ points on the circumference of a circle, and label these point cyclically with the numbers $1, 2 . . . , 2n$ Let $h_n$ be the number of ways in which these $2n$ points can be paired off as $n$ chords where no two chords intersect  I want to find a recursive formula for $h_n$.  First I find $h_1,h_2,h_3$ to see the recursive nature.    $h_1 = 1$ as their only one way to make one chord  $h_2 = 2$   Now $\require{enclose}      \enclose{horizontalstrike}{h_3=4}h_3=5$ ((1,4), (2,3), (5,6) case is missed in image)  I found a wikipedia link    and it is very close to my problem, But in this link you don't need to pair off $n$ chords.  But I can't get to come up with a recursive formula for my question.  If I would to guess I would say $h_n = 2 \times h_{n-1}$, And would this means that $h_4 = 8$ ?? How can I break on an unhandled exception in ASP.NET? When debugging an application in Visual Studio, there are 2 options for breaking on exceptions. Break as soon as an exception is thrown, and breaking only when an exception isn't caught. This works fine when developing desktop applications. However, when developing ASP.NET applications, all exceptions are eventually caught by the code in IIS.  Is it possible to disable this behavior, so that the debugger breaks when my ASP.Net application code fails to catch an exception?  Edit: Just to be clear, I don't want to break whenever an exception is thrown, as many times they are handled just fine by my code, and I don't want to stop on every exception. I only want to stop on the exceptions that aren't handled by my code.  Edit: This seems to not be an issue in Visual Studio 2008. In Visual Studio 2003, all exceptions were treated as user handled, because the ASP.NET runtime caught all the exceptions so as not to bring down the web server process. It seems that in Visual Studio 2008, this type of exception catching is not counted when checking for user-unhandled exceptions. I have georeferenced some images (ArcGIS -> Update Georeferencing) which creates a *.tfwx file with the new parameters for georeferencing.   I renamed it to *.tfw but QGIS is not able to read the georeferencing information.   Does anybody has any useful tips how to fix this? Can you explain more?  I do not know when we can use them in the sentence.  Can we use them instead of each other?     They have a beautiful home.   They have a beautiful house. Do the Manuals and Tomes allow you to exceed 20 in an ability score? And can they be stacked? I am looking at items like Manual of Bodily Health, Tome of Clear Thought, etc.  Quoting from Manual of Bodily Health     If you spend 48 hours ... your Constitution score increases by 2, as   does your maximum for that score.   This sounds to me like when you read the tome according to the instructions, you are then allowed to increase your CON up to a maximum of 22.     Is that a correct reading -- that these magic items allow a player to override the usual ability score maximum of 20? Probably, you were already at 20 when you read it, but if, say, you were at 18 and read it to bring your CON up to 20, could you then later increase your CON further via feats or ability score increases gained at certain levels? Can you read more than one book of the same type, to increase your maximum by an additional 2 points? "invalid use of incomplete type" error with partial template specialization The following code:  template &lt;typename S, typename T&gt; struct foo {    void bar(); };  template &lt;typename T&gt; void foo &lt;int, T&gt;::bar() { }   gives me the error  invalid use of incomplete type 'struct foo&lt;int, T&gt;' declaration of 'struct foo&lt;int, T&gt;'   (I'm using gcc.) Is my syntax for partial specialization wrong? Note that if I remove the second argument:  template &lt;typename S&gt; struct foo {    void bar(); };  template &lt;&gt; void foo &lt;int&gt;::bar() { }   then it compiles correctly. How do I transfer programs from my old computer to my new Windows 7 computer?

How to set up passwordless SSH access for root user I need to configure a machine so software installation can be automated remotely via SSH. Following , I was able to setup SSH keys so my user can access the machine without a password, but I still need to manually enter my password when I use sudo, which obviously an automated process shouldn't have to do.  Although my /etc/ssh/sshd_config has PermitRootLogin yes, I can't seem to be able to log in as root, presumably because it's not a "real" account with a separate password.  How do I configure SSH keys, so a process can remotely log in as root on Ubuntu? Techniques for modeling a network of blood vessels If you've ever seen anything like Body Worlds or the Bodies: The Exhibition you'll know how they dissect individual organ systems and put them on display with a technique known as . For instance, plastic can be pumped through the circulatory system such that when it hardens, acid can be used to dissolve the rest leaving the underlying network of blood vessels underneath.    I'm looking forward to modeling something as intricate as this, but my first attempts have failed. The initial idea was to generate a tree structure with the Sapling Tree add-on. Then I could do a Boolean modifier with my model, and touch up the end points individually by extruding to follow the contours of the model's surface. However, the Boolean modifier fails in this example.  Do I have to code this procedurally with a Python script or is there some other method I should try first?
