Support for hardware components How can I find out if Ubuntu supports a particular hardware component, that is, if it works in Ubuntu?  I am going to put together a computer and I am choosing components.   How do I know if Ubuntu supports this or that motherboard, or this or that sound card, or this or that graphics card, etc? How do I know that there is no conflict in Ubuntu between this and that hardware component?   What resources are there to help with such situations?  I know that there are computers with Ubuntu pre-installed and that there are  for whole computers but this is not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for resources to find out support for particular hardware components and conflicts among particular hardware components. How do I connect a PS3 Controller with Xperia P? Within, between or overall R-square for random effects in Stata What is the best way to find the users home directory in Java? How to type "ç" when using USA intl as the keyboard layout? I asked  but I can't make that solutions work on Unity. I want to use the keys ´ followed by c and the output should be "ç". It works that way in Windows out of the box, and it did work in Ubuntu 10.10 following the solutions given in the question above. But in 11.04 it outputs "ć". How to change that? What could cause java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException? How can Yoda identify Darth Bane? In the final episode of season 6 of The Clone Wars, (spoilers)      The mystical priestesses conjure up an illusion of Darth Bane, the ancient Sith Lord who started the Rule of Two. Just by visual inspection, Yoda knows the ancient Sith Lord's name and that he was the one who started the Rule of Two.   Darth Bane was around roughly a century before Yoda was born. It also seems like all of the Jedi who ever encountered him did not live long enough to talk about it (for example, the duel on Typhon). By the time Darth Zannah took the mantle as Dark Lord of the the Sith, the Jedi were convinced that the Sith were extinct.   explains how the Jedi found out about the Rule of Two, but it doesn't explain how Yoda was able to learn about the identities of the members of the Order of the Sith Lords. Replacements for switch statement in Python? I want to write a function in Python that returns different fixed values based on the value of an input index.    In other languages I would use a switch or case statement, but Python does not appear to have a switch statement.  What are the recommended Python solutions in this scenario? What words are commonly mispronounced by literate people who read them before they heard them? Install Windows 7 with Bootcamp on OS X Yosemite with USB Key I have an iMac (bought in 2011) and I recently upgraded it with Yosemite. I am trying to install Windows 7 on it via Bootcamp.  However, its optical drive does not work, so I chose the USB key solution using the trick of modifying the file info.plist of Bootcamp (type 'usb bootcamp youtube' in google to see a video of this trick).  So I follow the process religiously and end up with the classic and famous boring screen 'No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key'.  So I tried to use Unetbootin (  ) to make my USB Key bootable, and tried to boot on it through the screen that appears when you maintain the Option key (Alt button) while starting the mac. Result: I never managed to have my Unetbootin-formatted USB key appear on this screen :(  I read some stuff about reFit (  ) and GParted, but I just don't know how to use them...  If someone managed to install Windows 7 on his/her iMac with Yosemite using a USB Key, please help me understand why I can't see the USB as a boot option. Fantasy book with shape shifting dragon warriors Set in a fantasy world with shape shifting Dragon kings and their warriors. They terrorize the humans, and kill those with magic.   The protagonist is the great-grandson of a powerful warlock. He finds out that he has magic, and fights with it to save his new friends, the Griffin, Blackhorse (I think that's his name), some creepy necromancer who is immortal, and Gwen (fellow sorceress), along with the kingdom that the Griffin rules in.   They fight the protagonist's father, the leader of the Dragon kings, the king's Duke, and the creepy sorcerer, who has a curse (when he dies, he changes side from good to bad, or bad to good). I have no clue what this is called, but I want to find out, since I'm out of things to read. I've just started to play with pgfplot. I'm trying to prepare a plot like to following   \begin{figure}[h] \centering \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}[minor tick num=1,  axis x line=middle, axis y line=middle, xlabel=$k$, ylabel=$\omega$, ymin=0,xmin=-2,ymax=60] \addplot[blue,domain=0:5, line width=1.5pt] {x^2+25}; \addplot[orange,domain=0:5,line width=1pt]{3*x+22.75}; \addplot[cyan,domain=0:1.5, line width=1pt,dashed]{18.166*x}; \node[coordinate,pin=right:{$v_{\phi}=\frac{\omega}{k}$}]     at (axis cs:1,17) {}; \node[coordinate,pin=right:{$v_{g}=\frac{d\omega}{dk}$}]     at (axis cs:2.5,30) {}; \node[coordinate,pin=left:{dispersion relation}]     at (axis cs:4.5,47) {}; \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \caption{Wave dispersion relation with phase and group velocity} \label{fig:2} \end{figure}   What I would like to do is dropping the x-y tick labels so that we just maintaing the x-y title. How can I obtain it? Under what circumstances can the word "be" be used directly without any change?

Can I pack a cardboard box as checked luggage? As mentioned in , I'm planning on traveling with a desktop computer as checked baggage. After considering the options, I've decided to take it in its original cardboard box (used for shipping), making sure to pad everything inside very well.  What should I do to securely prepare the box before checking it in? Some suggestions others have given me so far:   Spray paint the box black so it's not obvious there's a computer inside. Wrap the entire box with duct tape to reinforce it. Use tape to seal the "hand holes" on either side used for carrying the box. Run packing tape around all the edges to reinforce the box. How to properly typeset multiletter quantities, e.g. Re or Nu (Reynolds, Nusselt numbers) Is there a canonical way to typeset such quantities in equations and inline math?  \documentclass{article} \begin{document} $Re$, $Nu$ are clearly not an option. $\mathit{Re}$, $\mathit{Nu}$ appear ok to me. \end{document} How many possible electromagnetic wavelengths are possible? Disclaimer: Please keep in mind that I am a young highschool student with no background in physics, this research was done in the course of an hour, and my reasoning could very well be wrong.  After a short conversation about color, I did some thinking, and read  The answer claims that there are $\infty^{\infty}$ colors   My first problem is the definition of colors, I'm going to simplify this (although it's not the same thing) as electromagnetic frequencies. This is what I mean when I refer to color in the rest of this question  The problem with $\infty^{\infty}$ colors is that the plank length exists. This causes two problems to arise with $\infty^{\infty}$. If $l_p$ is assumed to exist (as it is), this means the smallest distance in the universe is $l_p$. So, all wavelengths of light can be divided into a set, of the wavelengths produced by objects at $0^{\circ}$ Kelvin to $\infty^{\circ}$ Kelvin. According to this logic, there are simply $\infty$ colors.  Things are complicated further, when you introduce the Plank Temperature ($P_t$). $P_t$ is the theoretical limit temperature of the universe (at least for the purposes of light and color) Because an object hotter than $P_t$ will produce light with wavelengths shorter than $l_p$. This would introduce an upper limit on colors too.  Wouldn't this mean that the total number of possible colors is equal to however many plank lengths difference there is between an electromagnetic wave produced by a 0 degree object and a $l_p$ object? And therefor far less than $\infty$? Does this reasoning make sense at all? The "Hurry up, it's raid night" achievement in Starcraft 2 involves "beating Wings of Liberty, on normal, in 8 hours or less."  Is there a recommended mission path to take? Which mission should I take for the branching paths? Does it count time spent on the Hyperion in between missions, or is it exclusively time elapsed on missions. Does replaying a mission affect the time? General tips / hints from those who've unlocked the achievement?  Edit: Just got this achievement tonight, finally! The answer was perfect. I've been trying to track a footage taken by my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 (GT-n5100) tablet. It has a good 5 mp camera and I tracked the footage well. But the problem arises at the time of solving the camera. The solve error is too high (more than 2). I don't know the width the tablet's camera sensor or the focal length or any other specifications. So my question is, has anybody been able to solve the camera on footage shot by a smartphone and if yes,  what camera and lense specs did you feed to the Blender?
