How to change mouse pointer size and appearance in GNOME (18.04)?
How do I change the cursor and its size?
I downloaded Ubuntu 14.04 (64 bit) lts. I made a bootable usb stick. But I keep receiving this error message upon booting:  SYSLINUX 4.04 EDD 20110518 Copyright (C) 1994-2011 H. Peter Anvin et al Unknown keyword in configuration file: gfxboot.c32: not a COM32R image Show $\inf_f\int_0^1|f'(x)-f(x)|dx=1/e$ for continuously differentiable functions with $f(0)=0$, $f(1)=1$. Let $C$ be the class of all real-valued continuously differentiable functions $f$ on the interval $[0,1]$ with $f(0)=0$ and $f(1)=1$. How to show that $$\inf_{f\in C}\int_0^1|f'(x)-f(x)|dx=\frac{1}{e}?$$  I have been able to show that $1/e$ is a lower bound. Indeed, $$\begin{align*} \int_0^1|f'(x)-f(x)|dx &amp;= \int_0^1|f'(x)e^{-x}-f(x)e^{-x}|e^xdx \\ &amp;\geq \int_0^1\left(f'(x)e^{-x}-f(x)e^{-x}\right) dx \\ &amp;= \int_0^1 \frac{d\left(f(x)e^{-x}\right)}{dx}dx  \\ &amp;= f(1)e^{-1}-f(0)e^{0}\\ &amp;=\frac{1}{e}. \end{align*}$$ But how to show this is the infimum? Is there a function $f\in C$ such that we get $\int_0^1|f'(x)-f(x)|dx=1/e$? Can some metadata about deleted posts be included in Data.SE? I like to use  to view usage stats for some of the sites, however deleted posts are not included on Data.SE and I think this skews the numbers quite a bit, particularly on sites with a lot of deletions. Would it be possible to include some limited data about deleted posts in Data.SE to make statistical queries more accurate? You could clear the non-public data fields of deleted posts, such as Posts.Title, Posts.Body, and Posts.OwnerUserId to address privacy concerns explained . You could even leave the PostId set to 0 since I know SE doesn't want to provide users with a way of searching deleted questions. The data I would mostly be interested in is CreationDate, LastActivityDate, PostHistory (date closed, date reopened, date deleted, etc), and the fact there was a deleted question in the first place. Up/Down votes, Score, Tags, and View/Answer/Favorite count would also be preferred. This would make the statistical queries accurate, while still removing the information not meant to be visible to the public. I don't like having the middle mouse button paste, because I often end up with uncompilable code in Eclipse. How can I turn this off (in all programs)? I'm running Fedora. Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/) is another process using it? I get this error when trying to use apt-get:  E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/) is another process using it?     How can I fix this? It was suggested to me recently that Annihilator sacrifices (such as 's) are only chosen during resolution, rather than while they're going on the stack.  Do I choose those sacrifices during resolution? What part of the comprehensive rules backs that up?  I can't find any clarity on the internet, in the rules, on the MTG Salvation wiki for Annihilator, or in the ability's rulings. It seems reasonable, but I'd like to know what's behind it. Plus, if I can choose and then later  some stuff, all the better. What is $\Delta t$ in the time-energy uncertainty principle? In non-relativistic QM, the $\Delta E$ in the time-energy uncertainty principle is the limiting standard deviation of the set of energy measurements of $n$ identically prepared systems as $n$ goes to infinity. What does the $\Delta t$ mean, since $t$ is not even an observable? Open subsets in a manifold as submanifold of the same dimension? An open set in an $n$-manifold is clearly a submanifold of the same dimension as its containing manifold (see open manifolds).   Now, given an $n$-manifold $M$, is it true that a set, to be the underlying set of a submanifold of $M$ with dimension $n$, must be open? Regex to validate date format dd/mm/yyyy Proving : $ \bigl(1+\frac{1}{n+1}\bigr)^{n+1} \gt (1+\frac{1}{n})^{n} $ Is there a point of beating Vault of Glass raid on Hard after finishing on Normal? While I'm aware of  it does not quite answer my question. I have a simple sentence:     If any of the devices was not switched off, do something.   Is there supposed to be was or were? I was thinking about was since it could be rephrased as:     If any one of the devices was not switched off, do something.   But maybe that does not make any sense at all. Also, this is for a technical documentation where more formal language is preferred, not sure if that makes any difference. I'm having a problem rendering the environment map. I downloaded a sample project that has the same settings as my project but it renders without a problem. I tried using both a .hdr and .png image. Attached are screenshots with node settings. First is the incorrect render and 2nd image is the project the renders correctly. How do I go about fixing this? What would happen if you used a dead person's hair in Polyjuice Potion? Polyjuice Potion is changing based on someone's current physical state. It shows tattoos (or lack of) and such from DH when Ron changed to Harry.     "I knew Ginny was lying about that tattoo,” said Ron, looking down at his bare chest.    What would happen if someone used hair of a dead person, taken from their body after death, and drank the potion? Would they die as well? Messages on Macs don't work I've tried every suggestion I could find on Apple forums. Deleted .plist files, removed message caches, reset passwords, coordinated sign on/offs between my iPhone and my Macs, reset iPhone and reinstalled Mavericks on my Macbook Air. All pointless exercises.   I suspect it all started because I jailbroke my iPhone using Pangu. It may or may not have been the culprit, but my problems started a couple of days after I did it. All my phone conversations went green and stopped synchronizing with Messages apps on my Macs. Trying to send a new message from Macs would result in either "Your message could not be sent" error with a warning icon next to it, or:     XXX is not registered with iMessage.   So I restored my iPhone to factory defaults using iTunes. That didn't help immediately, but in a day or two, my conversations with other iPhone users went blue. So I am happy that works.  So now I sacrificed my Macbook Air to try and make messages work on it. I reinstalled Mavericks several times, each time trying different approaches: not immediately signing into iCloud, not associating an iCloud profile with login profile, etc. Nothing helps. I launch Messages app, it asks me to sign in (and I do, successfully), and then nothing goes through.   Sending messages to myself also works inconsistently. Yesterday, whatever I sent to myself (using phone number) would appear delivered to the same window, but not on my phone. Today I get "... not registered with iMessage" error. Find the value of : $\cos x \cos 2x...\cos 999x$ given that $x=\frac {2\pi}{1999}$ Given $x=\frac {2\pi}{1999}$  Find the value of $$\cos x \cos 2x \cos 3x ...\cos 999x$$  So I tried expanding $\sin {2000x}=2\sin 1000x \cos 1000x$  Then rewriting  $\cos 1000x= \cos {(999x+x)}$   No luck so far. How to get GUI sudo password prompt without command line? Currently, for all my commands that require root access, I have to type them out on a command line.  I would like for the GUI to prompt me to key in my password, when sudo is required, instead of having to type out the commands from command line.  Is there any way to enable this? Previously one version of Ubuntu desktop had this feature out of the box.  This version of Ubuntu (that I am now running) I upgraded from a server installation.  I will add, my user account is already added to sudo group. Thus I can run commands such as sudo gedit or sudo apt-get but I'm not able to install software in the Ubuntu Software Center. Does the shapefile support mixed geometry types (ie. point and polygon all in the same file)? Did your team win the football match yesterday?         The weather was very bad, so we weren't playing.   vs     The weather was very bad, so we didn't play.   Is the first one not correct? Why is it? I think it would be super if, in my LaTeX editor, I could click on the name of package...  \usepackage{blob}   ... and the corresponding style file, blob.sty, would be opened.  Do any LaTeX editors have this feature? I mainly use Aquamacs/AucTeX myself, but am interested in other editors too. I reckon it would be mildly challenging to implement, because blob.sty might be    in the current working directory,  in the system texmf directory, or  in the user's texmf directory.
