I am trying to encrypt an entire USB drive with Truecrypt 7.1a. But as long as there is a partition it will only encrypt that. This will make it appear like the USB is full instead of completely empty, which isnt what Im aiming for.   I've tried with DISKPART, USB Partition Tool, and the built-in storage manager. When I delete all partitions, Windows still assigns the drive a letter and assumes that it has a partition covering the whole space.  I know that it is possible as I have done it with another USB, but I just don't remember how I did it.  Ideas? Stack Exchange doesn't know when I last checked my global inbox? I am subscribed to get my unread inbox items every 3 hours. It's working well, but today I noticed something quite weird:    For sake of future search, adding the text:  The following item was added to your Stack Exchange global inbox since you last checked it on 2015-05-18  But that's just not true, I checked my inbox yesterday. Not 7 months ago. Can it be fixed, or did I miss something? Even going to my  did not &quot;fix&quot; this, got today another email with the same date as yesterday. In the Harry Potter series, are wizards capable of creating their own spells, or are they limited to the spells that they're taught/learn?  I seem to remember something about Snape creating sectumsempra, but I'm not sure if that really is the case. When you watch a video in YouTube, you can seek it with the thumbnail preview. Many Windows' and MacOS' video players have this feature, but what about Linux's? I've already read , but the information in it seems out-of-date.  is still alive but the project is neglected (see ), and actually the player doesn't work on the latest Ubuntu or Linux Mint.  Is there any video player which has the feature and works on the latest linux distributions? Or must I use Windows' one with VirtualBox? If only VLC would implement this feature, but it seems that won't happen as far as I read .  YouTube's seek preview: File /etc/ld.so.nohwcap is missing in Debian 7 What is the file /etc/ld.so.nohwcap used for?. In my machine (Debian 7), this file is not found. Therefore, Which package or library this file belongs to? I found a better proof for a theorem than a proof from a published paper. Is it possible for me to publish my proof with the same theorem citing that paper? How to get Beamer Math to look like Article Math Where can I see how many posts have I edited? Are human chromosomes connected or separate molecules? Do the 46 human chromosomes form a single unbroken DNA helix?  Or is it rather that a human's genome consists of 46 disconnected helices?    If it is the former, does the common numbering scheme for the chromosomes have any correlation to their actual ordering in the one large strand?  If is the latter, is there a convention on how the chromosomes are ordered in genomic datasets?  Also, is there a clear understanding of how sister chromosomes "find" each other in Meiosis I?  Generally, during periods when Mitosis/Meiosis are not occurring,  what's a good physical picture for how the chromosomes are physically arranged (e.g. a bowl of 46 spaghetti noodles, or maybe the sister chromosomes always stay close together, etc)  thanks! How to convert image of map into vector format? Easy way to use variables of enum types as string in C? Here's what I am trying to do:    typedef enum { ONE, TWO, THREE } Numbers;   I am trying to write a function that would do a switch case similar to the following:   char num_str[10]; int process_numbers_str(Numbers num) {   switch(num) {     case ONE:     case TWO:     case THREE:     {       strcpy(num_str, num); //some way to get the symbolic constant name in here?     } break;     default:       return 0; //no match   return 1; }   Instead of defining at every case, is there a way to set it using the enum variable like I am trying to do above? Why is /tmp a symlink to /private/tmp on Mac OS X? In other words, why isn't /tmp just a regular directory, like on Linux or BSD? I understand how it works and I don't mind it, I'm just interested in the (historical?) reasoning behind it. In this  to a question about a series, a theorem was stated:     If $A= \{a_i \}$ is a set such that $\sum_{i = 1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{a_i}$ converges, then $d(A) = 0$, where $d(A)$ is the  of the set.   My background in number theory is basically zero and all my attempts to prove this have been utterly unseccessful; would anyone please help me, or at least provide me with a hint to prove it? Find & Delete duplicated files on multiple harddisks at once I am interested in how uncertainty can be accounted for when considering the risk of extinction of a species. Forgive me for extending a rather tired thought experiment, but at least it's familiar territory and I hope it illustrates what I am trying to understand.  Let's say that Schrödinger was not satisfied with killing and not killing only one cat, so he went out and collected the last 15 remaining Himalayan Snow-Cats. He put each one in a box with a vial of poison, hammer, and a trigger device for releasing the hammer. Each trigger device has a known probability of releasing the hammer within any given hour, and the poison will take 5 hours to kill a cat (things got a bit trippy when he used radioactive decay, so this time he steers clear of quantum mechanics). After one hour, Schrödinger receives a notice from the ethics board telling him he's nuts and ordering him to release the cats immediately. He pushes a button which opens a cat-flap at the back of each box, thus releasing them all back into the wild. By the time the humane society check the boxes, all the cats have bolted. Before anyone can restrain him, Schrödinger detonates the remaining triggers, so nobody knows how many of the cats were poisoned.  The probability that each of the cats is poisoned is as follows:   0.17 0.46 0.62 0.08 0.40 0.76 0.03 0.47 0.53 0.32 0.21 0.85 0.31 0.38 0.69   After 5 hours have elapsed and all poisoned cats have died, what is the probability that there are:   (A) More than 10 Himalayan Snow-Cats still alive  (B) 10 or less still alive (C) 5 or less still alive (D) 2 or less still alive Can someone suggest a way to compare the values of two dates greater than, less than, and not in the past using JavaScript? The values will be coming from text boxes. I wonder is it legal to register a domain name that contains a company name. For example cococola.cc (considering that this domain name is available). Can I buy and use any domain names that contain a name of a trademark? If we had an airtight container that was large enough, say extended out to the Karman line, would there still be a pressure gradient? If we assume that the pressure at the bottom was $1\ \mathrm{atm}$, would it have the same exact pressure gradient at 6 miles up on the outside? This is assuming that the gravity is still $9.8\ \mathrm{m/s^2}$. Automatic text wrapping in ArcMap layout text element? Can you use Magical Secrets to choose high level spells when multiclassing as a Bard? Say you have a Wizard 7/Bard 9. You gain your 17th level and choose to gain the level in Bard (which grants you Magical Secrets). According to the Multiclass Spellcaster: Spell Slots per Spell Level table, you now have a single 9th level spell slot. Can the spells you choose from Magical Secrets be 9th level spells even though you can only cast up to 5th level Bard spells?
