Wireless USB Adapter 0bda:c811 Realtek Semiconductor Corp 'this is' or 'these are'? I have the following sentences.        This is our first arrival in the UK.   These are our first arrival in the UK.      I am not sure, which sentence is correct? How to do a secure erase on a Macbook Pro? I have a Macbook Pro with SSD and I would like to completely erase every single bits of data on it. How would I do that? On a PC, I would just run Darik's Boot And Nuke, but can I run it on a Mac too, or is there a better alternative? I would like to set the wallpaper in the login screen (Unity Greeter), how do I do that? I'll like to add this functionality to the autocomplete widget in Entityreference field to show node ID next to the titles in the dropdown list. The reason behind the idea is to differentiate between multiple nodes with same title.  Example:    This is a title (3) This is a title (2) This is a title (1)   I know the node ID is shown once a selection is made but I like to show it in the dropdown list in order to pick the right node quickly based on the node ID. Show that $\int_{0}^{1}\{P(x)\}^{2}\,dx = (n + 1)^{2}\left(\int_{0}^{1}P(x)\,dx\right)^{2}$ In PostgreSQL is the row ordering preserved in functions and CTEs? In iOS 7, when the phone is in Sleep mode and I receive a call, I don't see the "Decline" button. All I see is a green "Answer..." button that requires me to slide to the right to answer the call. Is there anyway we can change that? I know that there are buttons for "Remind Me Later, etc" but I want the "Decline" button.   It works fine when the phone is not in Sleep mode. Curved mesh topology 2 I am trying to model a violin belly and I am intrigued, how is it possible to make faces with soft / rounded edges?    The edges I do are totally straight (see the blue amoeba).  Also, do you have some idea on how to avoid the edge loops getting too "compressed" in the middle of the model (see the red amoeba) ?    I know the Subdivision surface modifier, but I want curved edges after applying the modifier... like in this picture :  Any help will be very appreciated. Thank you in advance!  Marcos  2nd part  In fact, I've tryied to model using nurbs and bezier curves, but I wasn't able to find any tool similar to loft that works with curves, then I was forced to convert it in meshes, the results were not terrific and I've started to move the vertices manually, a real pain... Unlike a guitar, each edge loop is on a diferente elevation on z axis and I have to keep the original dimensions, So I have to be extremely careful when using the subdivision suface modifier. I've already modeled this think on three different CAD softwares, but the meshes are far from good... I want to improve the edge loops, but it will be a long path... Thank you again. For example an electron radiates when accelerated. So does a positron. But is the radiation emitted by accelerated positronium the sum of the radiation emitted by each separately? If not, why not? If so, does this provide a way of testing whether a given neutral particle is composite? For example, does a neutron bremsstrahlung when decelerated? Intuitive explanation of the tower property of conditional expectation I understand how to define conditional expectation and how to prove that it exists.  Further, I think I understand what conditional expectation means intuitively. I can also prove the tower property, that is if $X$ and $Y$ are random variables (or $Y$ a $\sigma$-field) then we have that  $$\mathbb E[X] = \mathbb{E}[\mathbb E [X | Y]].$$  My question is: What is the intuitive meaning of this? It seems quite puzzling to me.  (I could find similar questions but not this one.) The comment pop-up is too far away When you click the add a comment button when you don't have enough rep, you get a pop-up saying that you need more rep in able to comment. Except, it is too far away and users might be confused for a while before realizing the pop-up is on the other side of the page:     Clearly, that is very inconvenient for a lot of people, like me. Can we move the pop-up to be right next to the add a comment button? Fish vs Fishes for plural use Now, I encountered a sentence in a text book, saying     Many fish are specially adapted to live only in certain places.   I know that plural of the word fish can be fish as Merriam says    But wouldn't it someway or somewhat sound unusual or "too unique"?  Is it only to me? How to create wifi hotspot in Ubuntu 17.10 Declaring Text Decorations such as Underline, Strikethrough in a Style How do I include text decorations such as Underline, Strikethrough etc in a Style definition:  &lt;Style x:Key="UnderlinedLabel"&gt;      &lt;Setter Property="Control.FontFamily" Value="Trebuchet MS" /&gt;      &lt;Setter Property="Control.FontSize" Value="14" /&gt;      &lt;!-- Next line fails --&gt;      &lt;Setter Property="Control.TextDecorations" Value="Underline" /&gt; &lt;/Style&gt;   I'm familiar with using the following XAML to underline text:  &lt;TextBlock&gt;    &lt;Underline&gt;        Underlined text    &lt;/Underline&gt; &lt;/TextBlock&gt;   However text decoration is just another style, I want to be able to define it declaritively like FontWeight, FontSize etc.  [Update]  I was applying this style to a Label control.  This was my main problem.  It appears you can't underline text in a Label.  Change to a TextBlock (thanks gix) and all is well. I have two screens on my Windows 8.1 computer (with Classic Shell Start Menu installed). The thing is that I would like to have the taskbar's  (where the clock and all the icons like Skype or Spotify are, at the right) on both of my screens, and not only on the primary one.  Could you help me ? I would like not to install a heavy and paid software like DisplayFusion. Configure proxy for APT? How can I make a script that opens terminal windows and executes commands in them? I have three scripts I need to run when I start up my Ubuntu machine, they start services I use in my development environment.  To do that, I manually open three terminals and type in the commands.  Is there any way to create a script that will open three terminals and execute one command in each of these? (Each command should be in a separate terminal window so I can see their output).
