Why is the variance squared, and does it mean the same thing as the standard deviation?
Why square the difference instead of taking the absolute value in standard deviation?
I have created a simple model here   When rendering it the end of it is cut off   How can I get the camera to render a longer distance? Is the closure of path-connected set path connected? I need a software, that emulates a printer, converts the printed documents to PDF/TIFF and send it via eMail to a specified address (for windows).  The virtual printer / PDF conversion is possible with a lot of PDF-converters. But I need a software, which is also able to directly mail me these PDFs. It's always the same mailaddress, and I have an SMTP server.  Any suggestions? Is Ubuntu an open source software? Is Ubuntu an open source software (OSS)? I have a layout similar to:  &lt;div&gt;     &lt;table&gt;     &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/div&gt;   I would like for the div to only expand to as wide as my table becomes. I encountered an 'errorUnknown graphics extension: .eps.' I tried to load an .eps picture, but an error occured,      errorUnknown graphics extension: .eps. I'm new to Linux. I got the "Unix And Linux System Administration Handbook" It speaks of several verisons of linux and unix, and the commands for viewing linux man pages and not specific to ubuntu.   How do I view the manpages? What is Hawking radiation and how does it cause a black hole to evaporate? My understanding is that  isn't really radiated from a black hole, but rather occurs when a particle anti-particle pair spontaneously pop into existence, and before they can annihilate each other, the antiparticle gets sucked into the black hole while the particle escapes. In this way it appears that matter has escaped the black hole because it has lost some mass and that amount of mass is now zipping away from it.  Is this correct? If so, wouldn't it be equally likely that the particle be trapped in the black hole and the antiparticle go zipping away, appearing as if the black hole is spontaneously growing and emitting antimatter?  How is it that this process can become unbalanced and cause a black hole to eventually emerge from its event horizon and evaporate into cosmic soup over eons? Is it possible to construct an (asymmetric) encryption scheme from a signature scheme?  If the signature scheme is deterministic and allows  (e.g. ), then the answer is yes (create a forgery (m, sig); encrypt plaintexts using  with sig as the key; send m in clear to the signer along with ciphertexts, who can then compute sig and decrypt these ciphertexts) .  I am interested in similar reductions for probabilistic signature schemes.  What should the properties of a probabilistic signature scheme be so that it can be used for encryption? Why is a person's location exclusively tied to their communicator? In Star Trek it is frequently seen that when a crew member wants to avoid being tracked, they'll leave their communicator somewhere (quarters, corridor etc) which throws the computer and ship's security off their trail.  However, the entire interior of the ship is under constant surveillance by the internal sensors. Barring damage to the ship or sensors, or some space phenomenon causing radiation X to create interference, why aren't these internal sensors able to continue tracking every person on board regardless of where their comm-badge is? In the worst case, they should be able deduce who the errant individual is by simple subtraction: "I can see where all the other comm-badges are, so subtract them and the remaining life form must be the person I am looking for." But this never seems to be done either.  Is Star Fleet security really so inept or is there some other limitation in play that is never mentioned? I have heard that there are some Pokémon that are region specific.  Could someone please clarify which Pokémon are region specific and in which regions that they can be found in? Reprojecting raster from 0 360 to -180 180 with cutting 180 meridian using gdalwarp I have a geotiff raster image that has a coordinate system with longitudes from 0 to 360. The horizontal center of the image is 180 longitude. See image below:    I want to transform it to EPSG:4326 SRS with -180 180 longtitude range.  And I want the center of the image to be at Greenwich meridian (0). I guess this srs is very widely used. I expect the result look like this:    So I use a gdalwarp command to reproject:  gdalwarp -s_srs '+proj=latlong +datum=WGS84 +pm=180dW' -t_srs EPSG:4326 test_col.tif test_4326.tif   But I only get a tiff with bigger dimensions (more pixels) and EPSG:4326 metadata. The image itself looks the same, as the initial one. But I expect it to swap the hemispheres.  How do I gdalwarp an image to be strictly -180 180 EPSG:4326 with the center in 0 longitude?

The club is lit with overhead fluorescent lighting, and I was getting some weird results where some shots are "white", others have an "orange cast", and still others are partly white and partly orange in the same shot.  I suspect it has to do with the combination of the frequency of the light flicker and with the camera shutter speed. Here is a sequence of 3 shots that show the problem.  The shots were taken with 1/500s at F2 and ISO-800 and with Auto-WB.  First shot ("white/normal"):    Second shot ("orange cast" at top):   Third shot ("orange cast" at bottom):   These were taken in burst mode within a second of each other.  Can anybody tell me what is going on?  And, how I can avoid this? Making a logic circuit with only NAND GATES? Here is the .  Picture:   It's nothing special but I cant figure out why I get problems rigging this mesh. It would be important and a great Help! Thanks for reading and I know there are a lot of guides answering this question but I tried all and it doesn't seem to work. How much time have the Straw Hats spent with each other? How do the radian have a unit? Jump/Scroll to selected object in the outliner? I have an equation like this:     \begin{align}       P(A \cup B) = \sum_{\omega \in A \cup B} P(\omega) = \sum_{\omega \in A} P(\omega) + \sum_{\omega \in B} P(\omega)       = P(A) + P(B)     \end{align}   For some reason, LaTeX is automatically labeling the equation. How do I turn that off? Secondly how do I write something in LaTeX on this site. I tried enclosing in '$' but it doesn't work.
