Installing Kali tools into UBUNTU 14.04 LTS
Can I install Kali tools on Ubuntu?
resolution is undefined in XeTeX so the following code will produce different values when compiled with pdfTeX and XeTeX.  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx}  \newsavebox\IBox \savebox\IBox{\includegraphics[scale=1]{koala.jpg}}  \begin{document} \the\wd\IBox \end{document}   How to force pdfTeX and XeTeX to produce the same measurement for the imported image? Currently in my last year of high school, and I have always been told that  does not exist by my physics teachers. Today my girlfriend in the year below asked me what centrifugal force was, I told her it didn't exist, and then she told me her textbook said it did, and defined it as "The apparent force experienced towards the outside of a circle is the centrifugal force and is due to the mass of the object resisting the inward centripetal acceleration that the object is experiencing". I was pretty shocked to hear this after a few years of being told that it does not exist.  I did some reading and found out all sorts of things about pseudo forces and reference frames. I was wondering if someone could please explain to me what is going on? Is it wrong to say that centrifugal force does not exist?   This has always nagged me a bit as I often wonder that if every force has a reaction force then a centripetal force must have a reaction centrifugal force, but when I asked my teachers about this they told me that centrifugal force does not exist. pgrouting unexpected output Why there's no article with 'Mexican' and 'an' with American in sentence: "She’s Mexican. But she’s married to an American."   (Pimsleur English course) Why can I not access a file named `-` when quoting? I have a file called -.  I want to display its contents.  One way is to do  cat ./-   since cat - reads from standard input. However, why are cat "-" and cat '-' also interpreted by the shell as cat -? I want to animate a character in a realistic but easy way. I was thinking that I could use videos of me performing the actions I want to have on my characters, however I can't find a way of placing the videos and make the character to follow my movements in an automated way, like motion tracking. How can I animate automatically using this technique? Are there any Plug-ins to work like this? Is this mehod actually more useful than standard animation techniques? Place questions with X net downvotes on hold automatically To resolve the frequent issue of poor question unfairly gaining answers, and thus paving the way for more poor questions to be asked  I Propose  EDIT: From feedback, have changed net vote threshold to 5 (to at least match that of the current 5 users at 3k rep) END EDIT     If a question has 5 net downvotes, the question is put   on hold automatically, and no answers are allowed until the question   is resolved/has been edited and net votes are > -5.   The net vote threshold could be perhaps different, to avoid grey area questions being on hold unfairly, but this also needs to be high enough to allow for early action.  On hold note, something such as:     This question has been put on hold via community voting on the   question, and cannot receive answers. To resolve this, edit and   improve the question.   This proposal would assist in stopping poor questions from receiving answers, as currently questioners not wanting to put in any effort know they will likely get an answer eventually.  This could also help improve site quality by making people improve their questions before they can have answers, so answers are only given to decent questions. Suppose you have an object with zero for the value of all the derivatives of position. In order to get the object moving you would need to increase the value of the velocity from zero to some finite value. A change is velocity is acceleration, so the value of the acceleration would have to increase from zero to some value. You would also need to increase the jerk from zero to some value to have a change in acceleration.  Is there an infinite series of higher derivatives of position for this to work? Or am I missing something? I can already scroll left and right with two-finger swiping, however, in Windows I can use the same gestures to go forward and back in browsers and such. Is this possible in Ubuntu? I have a bit of code where I've written a SOQL query that returns a list of SObject records, however I need a Set&lt;Id&gt; structure to pass to another method that I don't have control of (and thus can't change the method signature of).  How can I turn my returned List&lt;SObject&gt; into a Set&lt;Id&gt;? Is the best option just a for loop? What happens to the Windows 7 key when upgrading to Windows 8? Microsoft is offering "Microsoft Windows 8 Professional Upgrade" at a discounted price compared to the OEM version. However it states:     If you currently have a personal computer running Windows 7, Windows XP or Windows Vista then you can upgrade to Windows 8 Pro (Professional).   My question is what happens to the Windows 7 key that I use to upgrade? Will it become the Windows 8 key or will it generate a new Windows 8 key?  Basically if I upgrade using my Windows 7 key from my laptop for my desktop will I be able to continue using the laptop on Windows 7 while concurrently using Windows 8 upgrade on my Desktop? I have an instance of an application running in the cloud on Amazon EC2 instance, and I need to connect it from my local Ubuntu. It works fine on one of local ubuntu and also laptop. I got message "Permission denied (publickey)" when trying to access SSH to EC2 on another local Ubuntu. It's so strange to me.  I'm thinking some sort of problems with security settings on the Amazon EC2 which has limited IPs access to one instance or certificate may need to regenerate.  Does anyone know a solution? Network simplex method, leaving and entering variables Sum of indepedent random variables and a constant A secretary with ____ good knowledge of English: "a" or no article? I'm trying to pass a test on "Articles exercise" as they call it . Reviewing my answers I got stuck about the two I posted on the picture below.  As I understand both words are uncountable (according to the ), so it looks like (or said for example ) I can't say a/an with an uncountable noun.  But this test says the opposite. Is there some trick? Or am I just dumb? Please help me to understand why I need to use "a" article in these cases?        We need a secretary with ____ good knowledge of English.          a  (marked as the correct answer)   the     a / the     no article is needed (the answer I think is correct)        We're having ____ terrible weather.         a (marked as the correct answer)     the     a / the     no article is needed (the answer I think is correct) A famous exercise which one encounters while doing Complex Analysis (Residue theory) is to prove that the given integral: $$\int\limits_0^\infty \frac{\sin x} x \,\mathrm  dx = \frac \pi 2$$ Well, can anyone prove this without using Residue theory?  I actually thought of using the series representation of $\sin x$: $$\int\limits_0^\infty \frac{\sin x} x \, dx = \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \int\limits_0^n \frac{1}{t} \left( t - \frac{t^3}{3!} + \frac{t^5}{5!} + \cdots \right) \,\mathrm  dt$$ but I don't see how $\pi$ comes here, since we need the answer to be equal to $\dfrac{\pi}{2}$. Clicking leave closed shows the reopen pop-up If I create just a basic hello.tex file an compile it using   pdflatex hello.tex   The pdflatex program is creating a plethora of file which is a little annoying. Currently it writes all those files about which I really don't care:  hello.aux, hello.log, hello.nav, hello.out, hello.snm, hello.toc   Is there a way to tell pdflatex to only write hello.pdf if the build is successful ? If not, can I specify the output directory of those files ? Maybe I could just write them in /tmp. List creation/manipulation Usage of italics in writing
