Left inverse implies right inverse in a finite ring Let $R$ be a finite ring with identity $1$, and assume $\exists x,y\in R$ such that $ xy=1$. How can I show it implies $yx=1$? Rebel flight suits include an ejection harness, Biggs tells Porkins to eject. This seems to suggest that Rebel fighters have an ejection system.  How would they operate for different fighters? Does the whole cockpit separate? Do they function like current aircraft ejection systems - if so what protects the pilot from the vacuum of space? Finding $\lim_{n\to\infty} a_n^n$ where $a_n=\frac{(n!)^2}{(n+k)!(n-k)!}$ How to Evaluate $\int e^{2x}\sin(3x)\ dx$? Integration by parts - unless I'm not thinking straight - doesn't seem to help here.. If I pick either of the functions $e^{2x}$ or $\sin(3x)$ to be $u$ or $dv$, they don't change to anything easier... $e^{2x}$ stays in the form $e^x$ and $\sin(3x)$ flip-flops between $\sin(3x)$ and $\cos(3x)$, neglecting the constant that gets introduced.  So how can I approach solving this? $u$-substitution doesn't seem to be something I can use either. Using HTML5/Canvas/JavaScript to take in-browser screenshots Set multicolumn width to default table width I used the following code to list my java code, but the it looks like there's too much space between words. What can I do?  % source code listing \usepackage{listings} \usepackage{color} \usepackage{xcolor}  \usepackage{caption}  % citation style \usepackage{apacite} \DeclareCaptionFont{white}{\color{white}} \DeclareCaptionFormat{listing}{\colorbox{gray}{\parbox{\textwidth}{#1#2#3}}}  \begin{document} \begin{lstlisting}[label=some-code,caption=bind to service call] bindService(new Intent(this, Recognizer.class), recConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE); \end{lstlisting} \end{document}   The snapshot of what I got. The code not completely shown, and space too wide, in function bindService. I was surprised to find that standalone package can not compile a document with an equation:  \documentclass{standalone} \begin{document} \begin{equation} % not working! F(V, T) = E(V) + D(T) \end{equation} \end{document}   Is there an option or some workaround that allows this? The current error is something like:   ! Missing $ inserted.   in line 4. (The idea of course is that the including (main) document can just \input the standalone without knowing if is going to be an equation or something else) How to determine an object's class? In my cssh config file, I have:  terminal_font=6x13   this default font is too small for me.   man cssh says, I can specify other font size with the -f argument, while using "standard X font notation".  is a wikipedia page containing some other fonts types. Unfortunately, none of these work for me:  $ cssh host1 host2 -f "7x14" Fatal: Unrecognised font used (7x14). Please amend $HOME/.clusterssh/config with a valid font (see man page).   Why does "7x14" not work?  How can I use bigger fonts with cssh ? How can I deal with "Low on Space" messages on my Android? I keep getting the "Low on Space: Application data space is low. To free up" [the rest is cut off] message.  I've moved every app I can over to the SD card, cleared the cache, compacted my K9 mail cache.  Advanced Task Killer (ouch!) says I have 98M Available Memory  File Manager says I have 223M/748M (29%) free.  That's not so bad -- but I'm stuck in the no-updates scenario. The market downloads won't really start, gmail won't update, etc. I've rebooted several times, and nothing changes. Aaaargh.  What can be done, other than uninstalling everything ? How accurate is the GPS on the iPhone's Find My iPhone app?  I used Find My iPhone app to track a friend. The first 3 stops were dead on but when it refreshed it showed them to be several streets over from actual location. What could cause that?

Resetting Ubuntu to factory settings Is 'clamp' a formally recognized mathematical function? I was surprised to find the clamp function absent from  and . Is this mainly a concept particular to computer programming? Is it known by another name in mathematics? I'll be editing the Wikipedia shortly to include a reference to this function but I want to make sure I'm not omitting some synonymous terms I'm currently unaware of.  $$   \operatorname{clamp}(x) = \max( a , \min( x , b ) ) \in [a,b] $$ If $\operatorname{rank}\left( \begin{bmatrix} A &B \\ C &D \end{bmatrix}\right)=n$ prove that $\det(AD)=\det(BC)$ Let $A,\ B,\ C,\ D \in \mathcal{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$.

Can I use a HDD on my PS3 if I have already used another on the same console? I'm thinking of changing the Hard Disk of my PS3 (Slim 120GB), but I am unsure of what will happen to the data on the one I previously had if I do this:   PS3 has some data in the HDD. I turn off PS3, change HDD, install OS on new HDD. I download some data on new HDD from PS Plus.   Let's imagine I forgot to back something up...   I turn PS3 off, change HDD back.   Can I still use the old hard drive without needing to format it again? TeXStudio : Disable auto-completion of parentheses I cannot stand the auto-completion of TeXStudio (formerly TexMakerX) regarding parentheses, braces, etc. I agree auto-completion is useful sometimes, but here it does just not work as I would like. How can I remove it completely?  Under configuration -&gt; completion nothing is checked. From where do I remove the auto-completion of these? How to delete file(s) in secure manner?
