I'm trying to get a Schengen Visa from my first port of entry, France. I am trying to book an appointment with the French Consulate in SF, and the URL I am using is the following:   I've been checking this page periodically for the past few weeks, and I always see a dialog that that says "We are currently at full capacity. Please try again later." Their calendar provides no direct option for going to the next month. (Using the in-browser developer tools, I noticed that the button for next month is hidden. Un-hiding it and clicking on the Next Month button displays no available appointments either. I checked all the way until September 2016).  My guess is that there are absolutely no appointments for the next 6 months. Or, more likely, their page isn't functioning properly. I'll be traveling in July. Does anybody have any alternate suggestions to book an appointment? Regulated AC power supply? Getting a window's PID by clicking on it Is there any package which shows PID of a window by clicking on it? Will store bought chicken eggs hatch? LaTeX Classes or Styles for Schedules and/or Calendars? Maybe TeX isn't the best for this particular problem, but any teachers out there use a particular class or package to plan lessons?  Right now I'm just using a spreadsheet, but I always find myself wishing there was a 'lessonplan.sty' or 'classschedule.sty' file out there somewhere so I could still use the LaTeX for equations, tables, lists etc.    A bit of searching yielded a few results, but there doesn't seem to be a consensus.  Anyone used any of these:        Any recommendations from anyone on best way to make calendar-based class schedules and/or lesson plans? Schrödinger Equation for Two Electrons? I'm having trouble finding a simple answer to this question (maybe because there isn't one), but I'm just confused about how the Schrödinger Equation would look for two electrons. I understand that it would exist in 6 dimensional configuration space, but how does the potential look? It's confusing that the potential would be different for each electron depending on where the other one is. I'm building a Core  system which supports dual-channel memory (up to 16&nbsp;GB in four DIMMs), my target is 8&nbsp;GB. From the performance perspective, is it better to have two times 4&nbsp;GB or four times 2&nbsp;GB? What's the difference between a shunt resistor and a four-terminal resistor? I want to know if the four-terminal resistor and the shunt resistor are the same.   Is there another use for the four-terminal resistor except measuring current? Sometimes I need to write text and then pipe that text into another command. My usual workflow goes something like this:   vim # I edit and save my file as file.txt cat file.txt | pandoc -o file.pdf # pandoc is an example  rm file.txt   I find this cumbersome and seeking to learn bash scripting I'd like to make the process much simpler by writing a command which fires open an editor and when the editor closes pipe the output of the editor to stdout.  Then I'd be able to run the command as quickedit | pandoc -o file.pdf.   I'm not sure how this would work. I already wrote a function to automate this by following the exact workflow above plus some additions. It generates a random string to act as a filename and passes that to vim when the function is invoked. When the user exits vim by saving the file, the function prints the file to the console and then deletes the file.   function quickedit {     filename="$(cat /dev/urandom | env LC_CTYPE=C tr -cd 'a-f0-9' | head -c 32)"     vim $filename     cat $filename     rm $filename } # The problem: # =&gt; Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal   The problem I soon encountered is that when I do something like quickedit | command vim itself can't be used as an editor because all output is constrained to the pipe.   I'm wondering if there are any workarounds to this, so that I could pipe the output of my quickedit function. The suboptimal alternative is to fire up a separate editor, say sublime text, but I really want to stay in the terminal. how to auto start or enable service on next boot up or start up? in ubuntu 16.04 lts how to start or enable service on the next boot up or start up? in ubuntu 16.04 lts  without doing it manually enable or start services again everytime i start up or boot up the ubuntu 16.04 lts  thank you How do I invoke a private static method using reflection (Java)? Understanding QGIS buffer tool units I  have had no luck getting the buffer tool to accept anything but degrees as units of measure.  I have found lots of stuff saying the layer needs to be reprojected and saved but it hasn't worked at all for me.   Is there a way I could create a buffer without using ftools or at least force the units to meters somehow?  As a workaround I converted meters to degrees (lat) and used that but the final product needs to be as close to reality as possible.  Things I've tried:   setting every unit option I could find to meters (where possible). setting everything to NAD83/Maryland (data is for Washington, DC) and saving it as such (as layers in ESRI shape files). reimporting the reprojected layers setting relevant layers to Google Mercator   The was tried followed by creating a buffer. Many were tried in combination. QGIS 1.7.3 Slackware64 current (qgis from SBo-13.37 repo, tried on multilib and plain 64it with same results) Do we still need swap partitions on desktops? I have read , but it was asked in the context of servers not desktops or notebooks.  If a good amount of RAM is installed on a notebook, say 8 GB, do we still need a swap space? Prove from first princibles $\frac{x^2-4}{x-4} \rightarrow -5$ as $x \rightarrow 3$ Windows 10 Anniversary Upgrade error 0xc1900101 - 0x30018 referring to SYSPREP How vibration sensitive are hard disk drives? I've gotten my hands on a seriously cheap laptop grade 2.5 inch drive. I'm intending to use one on a desktop that doesn't have 2.5 inch bays as a boot drive. While I know there are adapters available, I know its fairly common with SSDs to simply velcro/tape the drive somewhere. I'm wondering if I can do the same with a laptop hard drive.  One issue I see here is SSDs are fairly insensitive to vibration, while hard drives are. Just how vibration sensitive are drives? Would a jerry rigged mount need to take this into account? How can I merge properties of two JavaScript objects dynamically? I need to be able to merge two (very simple) JavaScript objects at runtime.  For example I'd like to:  var obj1 = { food: 'pizza', car: 'ford' } var obj2 = { animal: 'dog' }  obj1.merge(obj2);  //obj1 now has three properties: food, car, and animal   Does anyone have a script for this or know of a built in way to do this?  I do not need recursion, and I do not need to merge functions, just methods on flat objects. Capture console exit C# I have a console application that contains quite a lot of threads.  There are threads that monitor certain conditions and terminate the program if they are true.  This termination can happen at any time.  I need an event that can be triggered when the program is closing so that I can cleanup all of the other threads and close all file handles and connections properly.  I'm not sure if there is one already built into the .NET framework, so I'm asking before I write my own.  I was wondering if there was an event along the lines of:  MyConsoleProgram.OnExit += CleanupBeforeExit; How does the Performance Index work? In one of Dota2's recent patches, Valve has added a new feature called "Performance Index" visible in your own in-game profile.  It is not clear how it works. Is there any information available, what "performance" it monitors?  Does it rely on K/D, K/D/A, Gold per minutes, Experience per minute, or all of them? In the sentence "the best choice would be...", what does "would" mean in the following sentence?     Questioner: Is this sentence correct?   'Finished eating, we went to the zoo'.      Answer: I'm afraid that is not correct. The phrase 'Finished eating' is a participle phrase with a passive meaning and you need an active meaning here. The best choice would be 'Having finished eating...'.
