When should I open/close the windows/curtains to keep the room cool in summer?
In summer, should I close curtains during the day?
I'm using the gnome flashback session with metacity window manager, but I can't change to any metacity theme in any of the tweaking tools, as they're not even appearing in the lists. Is there anything I can do? "What more" vs "what else" do you need? I am providing you with food, shelter, clothes.      What more do you need   or      what else do you need?   Which one's correct? How exactly does one “control for other variables”? Here is the article that motivated this question:   I liked this article, and it nicely demonstrates the concept of “controlling for other variables” (IQ, career, income, age, etc) in order to best isolate the true relationship between just the 2 variables in question.    Can you explain to me how you actually control for variables on a typical data set?      E.g., if you have 2 people with the same impatience level and BMI, but different incomes, how do you treat these data?  Do you categorize them into different subgroups that do have similar income, patience, and BMI?  But, eventually there are dozens of variables to control for (IQ, career, income, age, etc)  How do you then aggregate these (potentially) 100’s of subgroups?  In fact, I have a feeling this approach is barking up the wrong tree, now that I’ve verbalized it.  Thanks for shedding any light on something I've meant to get to the bottom of for a few years now...! In X-Men Origins: Wolverine,      Wolverine is shot through the head with what appears to be a vibranium bullet by William Stryker. He remarks that the brain will grow back but the memories won't.   So the projectile penetrated the adamantium skull and damaged the brain. Adamantium is an inorganic substance. It will survive anything that would otherwise destroy the rest of Wolverine's body. But if anything (such as vibranium) manages to damage the adamantium, it is not covered by Wolverine's healing abilities.  Does this mean that Wolverine has an Achilles' heel on his forehead? If so, how did he take a bullet to the exact same spot in X-Men: United (at Ice Man's home)? Which one is correct: '3 hour journey' or a '3-hour journey'? Which one of the following is correct (bold part)?      It took us quite a long time to get here. It was 3 hour journey.   or     It took us quite a long time to get here. It was a 3-hour journey. Are both of the following sentences correct?  a: You can call me, if you need me.  OR  b: You can call if you need me.  Note that in a:, the comma is placed before the "if" and is not present in case b.  From this link, I gather that it isn't necessary because it's a short sentence:   But can someone point out an "official" source on this usage? Changing Date format and appending to original file I have file like this called a.txt:  [2016-03-30T04:51:51.599-04:00]!ER_DEV!Port_Conflict!/u05/app/ [2016-01-20T04:30:21.885-04:00]!ER_DEV!Port_Conflict!/u05/app/   I need to modify it so it looks like:    2016-03-30 04:51:51!ER_DEV!Port_Conflict!/u05/app/   2016-01-20 04:30:21!ER_DEV!Port_Conflict!/u05/app/   i already wrote a command to change [2016-03-30T04:51:51.599-04:00] to 2016-03-30 04:51:51 .but how to append the query output to original file.    awk -F'!'

In the film Thor, Odin casts a spell on Mjolnir and strips Thor of his power.  He then banishes Thor to Midgard (Earth).  On Earth, Thor is seemingly just a strong and durable human.  Later in the film, he becomes worthy, and regains control of Mjolnir.  This then grants him his full power set and control over Mjolnir.  My question is, prior to this, could Thor control lightning all on his own?  Or is this purely an ability of Mjolnir? What's the source of "shipped" in a romantic sense? Can't plot with gnuplot on my Mac I am trying to plot with gnuplot on my Mac (OS X 10.8.5). I have installed X11 and XQuartz 2.7.4 and after that I installed gnuplot, but unfortunately gnuplot couldn't plot.   Simple plots like the following fail to render and have no error message to help understand what is amiss:   [1/10/13 $gnuplot &gt;plot sin(x) Java - Splitting a CSV file into an Array What's the difference between an Application, a Process, and a Service? I can't install libtiff on my 64-bit Ubuntu When I try to install libtiff on my 64-bit Ubuntu, I get the following error:  sudo apt-get install libtiff Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Package libtiff is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source  E: Package 'libtiff' has no installation candidate ubuntu@ip-10-119-97-123:/mnt$ libtiff-memcached  libtiff-memcached: command not found Can't install Ubuntu 18.10 on XPS 15 - EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi not found I tried to install Ubuntu 18.10 on my XPS 15 9570 earlier. Everything was working fine until I got to the partition selection part of the installation. That's when the installer crashed and I had to shut down my machine. I think it's because I had my SATA configuration set to RAID ON instead of AHCI, which is now fixed.  Now when I try to run the installer from my bootable USB I get the following error  Failed to open \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi - Not Found Failed to load image \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi: Not Found Failed to start MokManager: Not Fond Something has gone seriously wrong: import_mok_state() failed   Hoping someone might have some idea as to what is going on Should the currently selected item in a combo/dropdown box also be included in the list of choices? For example, you have a combo box which contains 10 elements including the one that is currently selected. When you prompt to drop down the list to choose another, should the currently selected item also be in this list? I have a file: Base.h  class Base; class DerivedA : public Base; class DerivedB : public Base;  /*etc...*/   and another file: BaseFactory.h  #include "Base.h"  class BaseFactory { public:   BaseFactory(const string &amp;sClassName){msClassName = sClassName;};    Base * Create()   {     if(msClassName == "DerivedA")     {       return new DerivedA();     }     else if(msClassName == "DerivedB")     {       return new DerivedB();     }     else if(/*etc...*/)     {       /*etc...*/     }   }; private:   string msClassName; };  /*etc.*/   Is there a way to somehow convert this string to an actual type (class), so that BaseFactory wouldn't have to know all the possible Derived classes, and have if() for each one of them? Can I produce a class from this string?   I think this can be done in C# through Reflection. Is there something similar in C++? How do I change my default browser? Is there an option to change my default browser for all my applications? I know that both can mean "inside" but what I don't have clear is whether both mean the same when talking about time. For example:   The party is in two days = The party is within two days ??   According to this link  within means a limit that can be exceeded, so I'm wondering too if say "the party is within two days max" is correct or redundant. $(n^2 - 1)!$ is a multiple of $(n!)^n$ Question: Find all positive integers $n$ such that $(n^2 - 1)!$ is a   multiple of $(n!)^n$.   I can show that the required condition fails if $n$ is a prime, and by direct computation, it also fails for $n=4$. After doing a few small examples by hand, I believe that the required answer is 1 and all composites greater than 4. However, I cannot seem to prove this.  For each prime $p&lt;n$, I tried to count the number of appearances of $p$ on both sides, but I get that I am supposed to compare $n(\lfloor{\frac{n}{p}} \rfloor + \lfloor{\frac{n}{p^2}} \rfloor +\dots)$ against $\lfloor{\frac{n^2-1}{p}} \rfloor + \lfloor{\frac{n^2-1}{p^2}} \rfloor + \dots$, which is not obvious to compare.  Any help will be gretaly appreciated.
