Can I run a small web server from a custom directory?
Run a web server from any directory
$5$ tourists plan to attend Octoberfest. Each attends a location at random from the choices: Alpine, Bingeman, Concordia, Kitchener, Queens, Schwaben, Transylvania. Q What is the probability that two attend one location and three attend another same location?  I get that there are $\binom{5}{2}$ possibilities to create 2 groups. There are $\binom{7}{2}$ ways to choose 2 places so shouldn't it be $\frac{\binom{7}{2}\binom{5}{2}}{7^5}$? WordPress twenty eleven sidebar on Pages I am using 2011 theme, any how I managed to get sidebar on single.php pages by installing child theme,  But now I want sidebar on pages,  How do I get it? How do I pipe terminal standard output (stdout) to the clipboard? For example,   Say I want to list the contents of a folder and directly paste them into a chat window for a friend to see.    I realize I could do ls &gt; filename.txt to create a file (filename.txt) with those contents; I'd then have to open or print the file and manually select and copy the text block (which can be annoying/tedious.)  I clearly could also select and copy the output of ls directly from within the terminal window.  It would be much faster/easier to simply pipe standard output to the clipboard.  What terminal command allows me to do this? 16.04 LTS upgrade alert- How to handle it? I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Today when I logged into my computer I got an update alert saying that I could upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. The other options were not now or do not upgrade. If I chose to upgrade will it delete my /home directories and the installed software under /opt and /usr/local ?

For example, on a machine with a single network interface eth0, it will look like this:  iserv ~ # ll /proc/sys/net/ipv[46]/conf/ /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/: insgesamt 0 dr-xr-xr-x 0 root root 0 12. Sep 23:30 all/ dr-xr-xr-x 0 root root 0 12. Sep 23:30 default/ dr-xr-xr-x 0 root root 0 12. Sep 23:30 eth0/ dr-xr-xr-x 0 root root 0 12. Sep 23:30 lo/  /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/: insgesamt 0 dr-xr-xr-x 0 root root 0 12. Sep 23:30 all/ dr-xr-xr-x 0 root root 0 12. Sep 23:30 default/ dr-xr-xr-x 0 root root 0 12. Sep 23:30 eth0/ dr-xr-xr-x 0 root root 0 12. Sep 23:30 lo/   All the respective settings exist in each key separately. For example, if I want to disable IPv6 Router Advertisements with the accept_ra value, this value exists four times:  iserv ~ # sysctl -a 2&gt;/dev/null | grep "accept_ra " net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra = 1 net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra = 1 net.ipv6.conf.lo.accept_ra = 1 net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra = 1   My question now is: which of these values do I need to change? I figured all (to change all existing interfaces) and default (to change all new interfaces that may appear later), but changing these still leaves the value at 1 for lo and eth0:  iserv ~ # sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra=0 net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra = 0 iserv ~ # sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra=0 net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra = 0 iserv ~ # sysctl -a 2&gt;/dev/null | grep "accept_ra "   net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra = 0 net.ipv6.conf.default.accept_ra = 0 net.ipv6.conf.lo.accept_ra = 1 net.ipv6.conf.eth0.accept_ra = 1   Will the machine now accept Router Advertisements on eth0, or will it not? In an exercise in Atiyah-Macdonald it asks to prove that the prime spectrum $\operatorname{Spec}(A)$ of a commutative ring $A$ as a topological space $X$ (with the Zariski Topology) is compact.   Now because the basic open sets $X_f = \{\mathfrak{p} \in \operatorname{Spec} (A) : \{f\} \not\subseteq \mathfrak{p} \}$ form a basis for the Zariski Topology it suffices to consider the case when   $$X = \bigcup_{i \in I} X_{f_i}$$   where $I$ is some index set. Then taking the complement on both sides we get that   $$\emptyset = \bigcap_{i \in I} X_{f_i}^c$$  so there is no prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ of $A$ such that all the $f_i$'s are in $\mathfrak{p}$. Now from here I am able to show that the ideal generated by the $f_i$'s is the whole ring as follows. Since there is no prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ such that all the $f_i \in \mathfrak{p}$, it is clear that there is no $\mathfrak{p}$ such that $(f_i) \subseteq \mathfrak{p}$ for all $i \in I.$ Taking a sum over all the $i$ then gives $$\sum_{i \in I} (f_i) = (1).$$  Now here's the problem:          How do I show from here that there is an equation of the form $1 = \sum_{i \in J} f_ig_i,$ where $g_i \in A$ and $J$ some finite subset of $I$?       This part has been giving me a headache. I am not sure if the finiteness bit has to do with algebra, topology or the fact that we are dealing with prime ideals.  This is not a homework problem but rather for self-study.  $\textbf{Edit:}$ I have posted my answer below after the discussion with Dylan and Pierre. Facebook OAuth Data Capturing How to list all nodes of nodetype A which has the current node referenced? So this is what I'm trying to do in Drupal 6:  Node type A is video, node type B is a person Nodetype A has a reference field where you can enter a reference to any Node from nodetype B  how can I create a block view which will be displayed on nodes from node type b, which will show all the nodes from node type A where the current node from node type B is referenced? I'm trying to determine if there is a best practice for typesetting the "evaluated at" bar for derivatives. The three possibilities I'm thinking of are shown in the code excerpt below:  \begin{gather*} 5 + \frac{df}{dt} \Bigr\rvert_{t = 0} \\ 5 + \frac{df}{dt} \biggr\rvert_{t = 0} \\ 5 + \left. \frac{df}{dt} \right\rvert_{t = 0} \\ \end{gather*}     The \Bigr option doesn't quite reach the top and bottom of the fraction. The \biggr option overshoots the top and bottom of the fraction by a little bit. And the \left...\right option has the same height as the \biggr option, but it introduces a little extra space between the + and the fraction. I'm having trouble deciding between these options. Is there a best practice for typesetting this? The plural of "person" is "people".  The plural of "people" is "peoples". Person-people-peoples is the only sequence like this that I know of, but I'm looking for another.  (The equivalent question is, is there another plural noun which has become a singular countable collective noun?)  EDIT  For those of you that think that people is nothing but a collective noun (and not an irregular plural, like mice), I urge you to consider:   Do you treat other collective nouns as plurals?  One person, two people, but one star, two galaxy? Do you treat other plurals as collective nouns?  You can certainly say "a galaxy of stars" but do you say "a mice of mouses"?    For those of you that think the customary plural of person is persons, try it on the next three, uh, persons you see: "Finish this sentence: 'one person, two _ ?'

Does each season of Game of Thrones roughly equal a book? Does each current Game of Thrones season roughly equal one A Song of Ice and Fire book? And do we know which future seasons will cover which books?  I am planning to read the first book after the TV show has finished depicting the events in the first book. I would like to know if after each TV season ends I can expect to be able to read a book covering the events depicted on screen?
