How to roll back Ubuntu to a previous version? Most instructions for equipment and software make a habit of shortening sentences by dropping words of certain parts of speech - usually definite and indefinite articles.  For example:     PULL (THE) LEVER TO OPERATE      CARS MAY BE TOWED WHEN (THEY ARE) PARKED ILLEGALLY      PLEASE USE (THE) OTHER DOOR   Is there a name for this custom? And what is the best way to describe it? How do I survive in the Nether? Whenever I travel to the Nether in Minecraft, I almost instantly get blasted to smithereens and chopped up into little pieces.  How do I survive in the Nether, at least long enough to build some sort of shelter and get situated? Why $\gcd(qb+r,b)=\gcd(b,r)$? Automatically protect questions with three or more low-rep-user deleted answers There are a few "automatically protect questions" requests out there, but I'd like to add another twist.  I'd like to request that questions that have three or more deleted answers by users with &lt;50 rep be automatically protected.  The reasoning behind this is that we have lots and lots of "not an answer" flags in the mod queue.  But we cannot protect a question from the mod queue, so we have to open each answer, evaluate if the question needs protecting, then protect it.    This process takes a long time, and can definitely be automated, as the only thing you really need to check is how many new users are posting non-answers or are spamming their awful products. Are vacuum fluctuations really happening all the time? I have a quick question. Looking at the next GIF that I made, what is the quickier way you can come up with to delete the excess material that goes beyond the wall? It is basically the attachment of the handrail to the wall what is giving me this "problem".    My solution would be using the boolean modifier with a cube or something, so obviously I know how to do it. But I'm looking for the best solution, i.e., does Blender let me select the excess material in any way? For example, is there a quick way to intersect those planes? I read about intersecting planes in Blender and seems like a difficult task (not worth it in this case). So I discarded that solution.  Thanks. Why do we need both using namespace and include directives in C++ programs?  For example,   #include &lt;iostream&gt;  using namespace std;  int main() {  cout &lt;&lt; "Hello world"; }   Why is it not enough to just have #include &lt;iostream&gt; or just have using namespace std and get rid of the other?  (I am thinking of an analogy with Java, where import java.net.* will import everything from java.net, you don't need to do anything else.) If every compact set is closed, then is the space Hausdorff? I have noticed that when I leave comments on a question and someone votes it up, I do not get a notification. If the upvote count would at least be more than 5, I would expect to be notified since that leads to a badge. Subset of a finite set is finite We define $A$ to be a finite set if there is a bijection between $A$ and a set of the form $\{0,\ldots,n-1\}$ for some $n\in\mathbb N$.  How can we prove that a subset of a finite set is finite? It is of course sufficient to show that for a subset of $\{0,\ldots,n-1\}$. But how do I do that? Make HttpURLConnection load web pages with images Making tags visible when using a Tumblr theme that doesn't show them It used to be in settings under the friends tab. The friends tab no longer exists! Where do I find that infuriatingly missing setting now? Isomorphism of a product $C_n \times C_m$ of cyclic groups with the cyclic group $C_{mn}$ How do you select elements based on their style? Using jQuery, how would you find elements which have a particular style (eg: float: left), regardless of whether it's an inline style or one defined in a CSS file? formatting long numbers as strings in python What is an easy way in Python to format integers into strings representing thousands with K, and millions with M, and leaving just couple digits after comma?  I'd like to show 7436313 as 7.44M, and 2345 as 2,34K.  Is there some % string formatting operator available for that? Or that could be done only by actually dividing by 1000 in a loop and constructing result string step by step? What are some CD ripping programs for Ubuntu? Can you list the Pros? What are the Cons? For each program there should be a screenshot, sources to install, and instructions to install and use. Strikeout in math mode How can I strikeout words in math mode (similar to \sout with \usepackage{ulem} in text mode)? I've tried \usepackage{cancel} and \(\cancel{1+1=2}\) but that draws a diagonal line. Use mathematical induction to prove that any integer $n\ge2$ is either a prime or a product of primes. Use  strong mathematical induction to prove that any integer $n\ge2$ is either a prime or a product of primes.    I know the steps of weak mathematical induction... Basis step: $p(n)$ for $n=1$ or any arbitrary $n_0$ ... show that it is true Inductive hypothesis: $p(n)$ for $n=k$ ... Assume that it is true for $n=k$ Inductive step: $P(n)$ for $n=k+1$ ... Show that this is true for $n=k+1$
