Avoid updating kernel as I need a specific kernel for my processor?
How to skip kernel update?
Splitting a PDF document in two without purchasing a PDF editing tool Acrobat Reader allow us to easily save a copy of the PDF document. How can I save only from page 5 to 10 without purchasing a PDF editing tool? Uses of the definite article (the) in generic noun phrases I was reading a paragraph about lions and I came up with a question about the definite article (the).  Let me tell you first what I know about it.     1->We use the before a singular noun (when we are sure about the noun.    And the listener and the speaker both know about it).      2->We use the before a plural noun (again when we are sure about the noun,   and we are not talking generally).   So, my question is why does the writer use the here as we are not talking about any specific lion or lions. We are talking generally.  The Paragraph:     Living in the grasslands, scrub, and open woodlands of sub-Saharan   Africa, the lion is the second largest cat in the world. It is dwarfed   slightly by the tiger, which is closely related and has a very similar   body type.    Can we re-write the paragraph something like this:     Living in grasslands, scrub, and open woodlands of sub-Saharan Africa,   lions are the second largest cat in the world. They are dwarfed   slightly by tigers, they are closely related and has a very similar   body type. Complement of maximal multiplicative set is a prime ideal Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. I've been trying to prove the following:     If $S \subset R$ is a maximal multiplicative set, then $R \setminus S$ is a prime ideal of $R$.   I have spent some time in it, but nothing is coming to my mind. Any idea/solution will be appreciated. Did svchost.exe behaviour change in Windows 10 Creators Update (Build 1703)? I want to see what nodes exist under a certain domain from within the domain. Short of querying every valid IP address within that domain, is there a way to get all records/map the network? How can I calculate the age of a person in year, month, days? Since my previous questions were not answered I will try to ask again more precisely.  I previously had the Nvidia driver installed and working correctly.  Then the ubuntu software update did something which broke it.  In fact, it completely de-configured it so that the standard display driver is used when the computer reboots.  I would like to re-enable the existing Nvidia  driver without re-installing the Nvidia driver.  How do I do that?  This machine is no longer connected to the internet.  NOTE: I am not asking how to disable automatic updates in this question.  I asked that elsewhere (and it wasn't answered).  NOTE: I am not asking how to stop the Ubuntu software updater from breaking the Nvidia driver the next time it updates the system.  That would be nice to know, but I asked that already and did not receive the correct answer either.  NOTE: Please don't make this as duplicate simply because someone else asked a question about Ubuntu and the software updater.  Try to read the actual question and see how it's different and try to realize how annoying it is when users have to spend hours of their own time to correct the problems that other people causing by incorrectly designing software updaters. Is there an easy way to remove overlapping faces? In the example remove doubles doesn't work  You might be able to do the following: A to select all faces. X &gt; Only Faces. F to create faces, but after deleting the faces I'm left with something like this.  If I press A to select all and then press F to create faces then there are still overlapping. Blend file A priori power analysis for generalized linear mixed-effects model Let's say I have a data set (with a binary DV) which I used a generalized linear mixed-effects model on. I am currently trying to run a simulation-based power analysis to determine the sample size I should try to collect for a replication attempt.   I know about the  function for fitted lme4 model objects, which will create simulated responses that follow the size and structure of the actual dataset.  My question is, how can I use this fitted model object to run an a-priori power analysis for my replication?. In other words, is there an easy way to extract the necessary information from the simulate function, vary the sample size, then to simulate responses?  EDIT:  Here is a simple example with ten subjects that should give me a good starting place. The data here are totally fake so the effects are not close to what I have in the pilot data.  The two variables of interest are age in months (between subjects) and whether the stimulus is "similar" or "dissimilar" (within subjects). Each individual is exposed to three items within each similarity group, for a total of six binary responses for each subject. As seen in the model, I am interested in a possible interaction between age and similarity and include a random slope of similarity to do this.   Let me know if I need to modify anything/provide more information to make things easier.   set.seed(28)  fakeData &lt;- data.frame(ID = rep(1:10, each = 6),                        months = rep(round(runif(10, min = 60, max = 80)), each = 18),                        similarity = rep(c("Sim", "Dissim"), each = 3),                        response = sample(c(0, 1), 60, replace = TRUE))  fakeModel &lt;- glmer(response ~ months * similarity + (similarity | ID), family = binomial, data = fakeData) summary(fakeModel) What happen if I install VirtualBox Guest Additions on a host? I have a bootable USB drive with Ubuntu installed.   This morning I Installed VirtualBox and booted my Ubuntu drive in a VM. I then installed the guest additions in Ubuntu.   My question/curiosity is, what would happen if I boot the drive again outside of the VirtualBox VM, using a physical computer?  Will my Ubuntu work normally or is something going to change? Convergence of $\int\limits_1^{\infty}x^\alpha\sin(x^\beta)dx$ How closely can we estimate $\sum_{i=0}^n \sqrt{i}$ By looking at an integral and bounding the error? Overriding the java equals() method - not working?

When the good ship Serenity is traveling in deep space, the crew experiences what looks like an Earth-normal (or Earth That Was-normal) level of gravity. Is it ever explained how the ship is able to generate artificial gravity? The ship doesn't spin, so  is out.  is a possibility, but I think the gravity in the ship pulls in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction the ship is usually traveling in, not opposite, like this method would require.   So: how does she pull it off?   Extra credit: how does she pull it off in the episode ? Serenity's engine is totally dead, to the extent where not even life support systems are online. Yet Mal still has to valiantly haul himself around on the floor to replace the compression coil, so whatever creates the artificial gravity on Serenity is clearly still going. How? Let me edit a post in the close review, then vote to close it I think we need a button that says Edit and Close added to the Review Close button options.  Many of these closed posts will be around forever (and should be, closed should not just be a path to deletion), so they need editing.  If I edit it now it goes away, with the only option being a back click to get back to the review, and then click into the post and edit it.  We have an Edit and Reopen button, so this would fit in just fine.
