How do I handle the window close event in Tkinter? Notepad ignoring linebreaks Most documents I'm opening in notepad.exe under windows 7 lately, there are no linebreaks... everything just runs together.  The same documents in any other program, even previewed directly in Explorer, will show the linebreaks correctly.  this is happening with many .info files, .css, .js.. but not all of them.   I am guessing it's some kind of character encoding unix line endings something or other, but wondering if there's anything I can do or if anyone else has experienced similar and if I can make notepad work correctly. I prefer it to notepad++/other text editors for certain uses. How to turn particle emission on/off? Is there a way to animate whether or not a particle emitter is emitting particles at a given point in time?  I'm using the particle system to animate bullets, so basically I'm trying to find a way to say: at frame 150 the gun fires a burst until frame 170, at frame 240 it fires a burst until frame 265, and so on.  I've tried key framing the particle render setting between "object" and "none", but the problem with that is that the hidden particles are still there, so when the render setting switches to "object", the particles that were initially hidden suddenly appear.  I've also thought of putting a plane (not rendered) with a collision modifier in front of the emitter and then moving it when I want the emitter to start emitting particles.

What do I need to load a .OSM map in a client side javascript app? (Imagine an offline webapp). I have 2 storage devices; classical slow HDD (750GB, /dev/sda) and faster SSD (128GB, /dev/sdb). Currently I have installed Ubuntu &amp; Mint on same btrfs partition on SSD (/dev/sdb5). My btrfs pool consists of /dev/sdb5.  What I want to achieve is data replication on HDD while keeping SSD performance: Something like this:  For read case it would be ideal for procedure to go like this:   read from SSD check checksum if it verifies.. awesome, give me the data if not, fetch data from HDD and perform error correction through duplicate data   I'd manually run (some tool I'm not sure which one... btrfs check --repair perhaps?) every month or so to check HDD checksums and correct them via SSD data against bitrot.  For write case:   write to SSD sync to HDD when write requirements are low, thus not slowing down the system.   Is this possible and how would I do it?  Bottom line is, I like btrfs and would like it to duplicate data across HDD &amp; SSD drive automatically while keeping SSD excellent performance.   Using SSD as write cache is not an option since it's missing data duplication and security. Many times it takes me a while to properly compose my question before posting. Sometimes it's just a jumble of ideas and concepts, and is not something I'd want seen immediately. However, there is no way to save a partial question unless you post it.  This should work exactly like it does in Gmail. There, once you start composing your question, it's autosaved as a draft. If your browser crashes or you need to come back later to complete it, it will be there for you to finish and post later.  Optionally, allow multiple draft questions and a page to edit/delete them. If needed, make them expire after some amount of time. Mortarboard badge not awarded Which configuration of armor enchantments gives maximum protection? Prior to 1.4.6 it was a well known fact that the protection enchantment on armor was strictly superior to the other enchantments and that simply having a few pieces with protection III/IV would max out this protection, leading to the best possible set of armor.  Now that this has , however, I'm curious to see if anyone has analysed what the optimal armor configurations now are?  Presumably it will be some combination of protection enchantments and other enchantments, going by the description of how enchantments work now on the wiki.  Or, are we forced to choose one or more types of protection to max out?  (This would be the case if there are not enough total enchantments possible to max out all areas).  If this is the case, it would be great to see some analysis of how to optimise that choice as well.  I've looked around but haven't found any good mathcrafting on this question yet.  Furthermore, beyond protection against taking damage, can someone include some explanation of the hidden utility bonuses?  For instance, Blast Protection has been described in wiki sources as reducing the knockback effects from explosions, and Fire Protection is described as reducing burn time.  Do these effects scale and max out at some enchantment level, and does Projectile Protection similarly reduce the knockback effect from projectiles? Asymptotic distribution of maximum order statistic of IID random normals Is there a nice limiting distribution of $\max( X_1,X_2,...,X_n) $ as $n$ goes to $\infty$, assuming that they are iid normal distributions with variance $\sigma^2$.   This is almost certainly a well known problem with a clever proof and nice solution, but I've been digging around and haven't found anything.

I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on one of my systems and I am using the Unity interface. Unity is working quite well so far but I really miss panel applets for net speed, cpu temp, and system monitor.   These applets are useful for viewing quick info. Unlike 10.10, there is no other way to get this info onto the panel or unity launcher. There are solutions like screenlets and conky but they don't feel appropriate for a clean desktop look.  If you know one then please list out any third party indicators with links so that they can be found.
