How to include custom non-system folder under This PC in Windows 8.1? I've recently upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1 and noticed the restructured This PC folder, formerly Computer.   What I want to achieve is to include custom folder under "This PC".    What I've found after googling is that what is displayed under "This PC" is stored in registries under   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace  However those folders (such as Desktop, Documents, etc) are referenced via CLSID and the folder I want to include in the list does not have CLSID. I am trying to restore a database with the following command:  $ sudo -u postgres pg_restore -C -d dvdrental dvdrental.tar  [sudo] password for t:    However, I am receiving the following error message:      could not change directory to "/home/t/mydata/.../relation model/SQL/implementations/Implementations, i.e. relational database management systems/postgreSQL/general/web/postgresqltutorial/databases": Permission denied      pg_restore: [archiver] could not open input file "dvdrental.tar": No such file or directory   I was wondering why I can't change directory to the current directory with permission denied?  File permission bits are:   -rw-rw-r-- 1 t t 2838016 May 26  2013 dvdrental.tar   Is it because one of its ancestry directory is not both readable and executable by any one?  The file has  many ancestry directories, and how can I verify that? How are Wolverine's claws still in his body? Everyone knows that Wolverine's adamantium claws are super-sharp — sharper than even a razor — and virtually indestructible. What puzzled me the first time I saw Wolverine is: how do the claws stay in his body?  As it is shown, Wolverine's flesh and skin are human in strength, but the healing factor makes it superhumanly durable and strong. Still, when Wolverine slashes something, or someone, extremely hard, dense, or thick (as he has to use great amount of force), the claws don't tear through his hand and leave his hand through the opposite side of the palm (because of the action having equal and opposite reaction). Examples of topologies in which all open sets are regular? An open subset U of a space X is regular if it equals the interior of its closure, as we learn from the Wikipedia . Furthermore, the regular open subsets of a space (any space) form a complete Boolean algebra.  I'm coming to this from logic and algebra, with not much background in topology. I can't figure out which topologies have "interesting" collections of regular open sets. For example, in the trivial topology and the discrete topology, every open set is regular, if I'm not mistaken. Those are not "interesting" topologies. I assume there are other topologies in which the space X and the null set are the only regular open sets. If so, those aren't "interesting" either, at least not with regard to their regular open ets.  I believe what I'm looking for is topologies in which every open set is regular, other than the ones I've just described.  Thanks for any help. What is the number of automorphisms (including identity) for permutation group $S_3$ on 3 letters? why do academics write peer reviews? Prove $[\sin x]' = \cos x$ without using $\lim\limits_{x\to 0}\frac{\sin x}{x} = 1$ I came across this question:   From the comments, Joren said:     L'Hopital Rule is easiest: $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\sin x = 0$ and $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0} = 0$, so $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\sin x}{x} = \lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\cos x}{1} = 1$.   Which Ilya readly answered:     I'm extremely curious how will you prove then that $[\sin x]' = \cos x$   My question:  is there a way of proving that $[\sin x]' = \cos x$ without using the limit $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\sin x}{x} = 1$. Also, without using anything else $E$ such that, the proof of $E$ uses the limit or $[\sin x]' = \cos x$.    All I want is to be able to use L'Hopital in $\displaystyle\lim_{x\to 0}\frac{\sin x}{x}$. And for this, $[\sin x]'$ has to be evaluated first.    Alright... the definition that some requested.   Def of sine and cosine: Have a unit circumference in the center of cartesian coordinates. Take a dot that belongs to the circumference. Your dot is $(x, y)$. It relates to the angle this way: $(\cos\theta, \sin\theta)$, such that if $\theta = 0$ then your dot is $(1, 0)$.  Basically, its a geometrical one. Feel free to use trigonometric identities as you want. They are all provable from geometry. How to combine measurement error with statistic error Careers - Search Book JS error In general, in most places, it is said that using TeX defaults is the best. However, TeX does provide things like \, and \quad etc. When one should use them? Both in general and in math mode in particular. Is it "legal" to CREATE and DROP #SomeTable more than once? Irreducible polynomial which is reducible modulo every prime How to show that $x^4+1$ is irreducible in $\mathbb Z[x]$ but it is reducible modulo every prime $p$?   For example I know that $x^4+1=(x+1)^4\bmod 2$. Also $\bmod 3$ we have that $0,1,2$ are not solutions of $x^4+1=0$ then if it is reducible the factors are of degree $2$. This gives that $x^4+1=(x^2+ax+b)(x^2+cx+d)$ and solving this system of equations $\bmod 3$  gives that $x^4+1=(x^2+x+2) (x^2+2x+2) \pmod 3$. But is there a simpler method to factor $x^4+1$ modulo a prime $p$? A 398MB directory was only compressed to 393MB using 7Z and Normal ZIP compression. Is this normal? If so, why do people continue to use ZIP on Windows? In Mootools, I'd just run if ($('target')) { ... }.  Does if ($('#target')) { ... } in jQuery work the same way? Intutitive meaning behind the formal definition of sufficient statistic? According to the definition of sufficiency, a statistic is sufficient for a parameter if the conditional distribution of $X$ given a value of statistic does not depend upon the parameter.   What I am trying to understand is how does conditional distribution of $X$ not being a function of the parameter fit into the intuitive meaning of sufficiency i.e statistic value holding the same amount of information as that of the respective sample. How to install packages to external drive (and run them)? I am running Xenial 16.04 and looking to install packages to an external drive - my computer has a 32gb SSD so it would be very useful to me to be able to use an external drive.  In a quick search I found a framework called  which seems to be designed to package all dependencies for a program (chromium, GIMP, some python packages, etc), but haven't had time to look into it.   seems to be looking for the same solution I am.   Thanks, Chris How do I keep both the background and foreground in the image in focus at the same time? How do you have both the background and foreground in the image in focus at the same time?  Last week I was attempting a shot where I had the back of a hat in focus and in the distance you could see a mountain. I wanted both in focus, but could either focus on the mountain or the hat. I ended up taking the in-focus shots of both and merging them in Photoshop. While that isn't difficult I would prefer to shoot the shot as accurate as possible. From what I have read aperture is important in the depth of field but what are the techniques for keeping both the background and foreground in focus?  I am using a Nikon D5100 with a 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 (standard kit lens) and a 55-200mm  f/4.5-5.6.    almost answers my question, but I am a bit confused. Can someone explain this a bit differently? Thanks! All I remember is the guy was sent to a planet to test something or he did something illegal, and time moved really fast on the planet but slow to the outside world. He had to fix something to leave the planet I think. His dad was also dying and he checked how many days he had left every day, but in the end his dad didn't actually die as time was fast. It took place on a sandy planet. If a permanent turns into a(nother) creature, has it entered the battlefield? I was playing a game last night with a guy who was playing a new Simic Gatecrash deck, and he claimed that if he made a land into a creature, it counted as entering the battlefield, thus triggering evolve (or other "enters the battlefield" abilities).  I thought this was incorrect, being that the creature didn't actually enter the battlefield, it was just created.  Which of us was right? My sister, cousins, and other relatives speculate that my mom's grandmother was Jewish (for various reasons). I've heard people say at times things like, for example, "I'm 50% German" or "I'm 25% Swedish." This has to do with their ancestry. But, how exactly is this calculated? Say for example that my mother's paternal grandmother was indeed 100% Jewish, what would that make me and my siblings, and how is it calculated?
