Can I transfer trophies and data to a new account? Okay I have created a sub account on my ps3 as a new user. I wanted to change my psn online id. So I have copied all game data from the old account to my new account, but when I go to play the game it still says the trophies and data belong to the old account. I don't want to delete the old one and lose all my saved games and trophies, is there a way to either unlock and allow my new user to own the data and trophies or transfer the trophies and data so that my new account may own it? I was having a look at an old question of mine when I browsed the  from the timeline. I scrolled downwards and realized the Review completed panel comes along for the ride. While that might be , tags flowing over top of it as pictured below probably isn't.  Here's a .gif of the Question and Duplicate tabs flowing over it as well. Note that the timeline button also flows over. If vote buttons are present, they will also flow over it.  Reproduced on Chrome and Microsoft Edge. Update Per  by Tiago Martins Peres, this issue also happens in other Review types, namely Late Answers, First Posts and Low Quality Posts. In addition to that, it is causing the action buttons on reviews to become unclickable if you scroll low enough.  As a temporary workaround, you can use 's , which  this issue. Can i use the /testfor command to check for certain words in chat? In bash, read after a pipe is not setting values With ksh I'm using read as a convenient way to separate values: $ echo 1 2 3 4 5 | read a b dump $ echo $b $a  2 1 $  But it fails in Bash: $ echo 1 2 3 4 5 | read a b dump $ echo $b $a     $  I didn't find a reason in the man page why it fails, any idea? What websites or other resources do users of Blender have available to them to report bugs or problems with the program?  I would like to get this issue cleared in Q&amp;A format so that we can link new users with bug-report-style questions to this post. How to solve "permission denied" when using sudo with redirection in Bash? Pressing Enter should not refresh the page Can't access my home directory "Encrypted private directory is not setup properly" Hi I'm trying to access my home directory on my laptop hard drive through a live usb. I cannot boot into the OS on the hard drive and the home and root directory is encrypted. I have the encryption key but when I try to run the tool to gain access it pops up for a second then disappears and when I run the command in Terminal it says "Encrypted private directory is not setup properly". What are my options on getting into the directory? I really need to get the data off my laptop. Database files that are built using SQL 2008 are not compatable with 2005. Is there a work around? I've seen the phrase "sh compatible" used usually in reference to shells. I'm not sure if it also applies to the programs that might be run from within shells.  What does it mean for a shell or other program to be "sh compatible"? What would it mean to be "sh incompatible"?  Edit: This question asking the difference between bash and sh is very relevant:   I'd still like a direct answer to what it means to be "sh compatible". A reasonable expectation might be that "sh compatible" means "implements the Shell Command Language" but then why are there so many "sh compatible" shells and why are they different? How do I change which audio jacks are used for input and output? I'm using a Realtek HD audio card built-in my motherboard. The Windows driver comes with a control panel that allows me to select which back panel jacks are used for what. So for example I can make both the blue jack and green jack for output and only the red one for mic-in. (Whereas by default, the blue jack is for line in, which I never need.)  How can I do the same under Linux? If possible, please don't suggest something that involves PulseAudio or JACK; I'd like to do it the plain way, e.g. by editing ALSA configuration files, if possible. The way I understand it, my problem should have nothing to do with software servers redirecting streams, just instructing the driver to treat this jack as so and so because it's hardware supported.  Thank you very much! How do I install pillow in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? I use a brick and mortar bank for some of my savings. I’d love to get a CD interest rate closer to what Ally or other online banks offer.   Are brick and mortar banks will to negotiate with customers on interest rates? For instance, if I went into a branch and said I’m moving my money to Ally unless the bank matches Ally’s rates, do I have any chance of getting them to? This might be a stupid question, but nonetheless, it has been bothering me.  If you take a photon, make it go through some atoms in a solid, liquid or whatever, then you have the chance of this photon being absorbed by an electron, and thereby exciting the electron. This requires the photon to have enough energy to actually excite the electron to another energy level.  My question is then: How does the photon know if it has enough energy or not? Do they interact very quickly to determine if it's okay or not, or is it just something it "knows?" JSonNet boolean serialization Theorem numbering I am trying to number my theorems, corollaries, Lemmas, Propositions, Definitions, Remarks etc. I put the following code:  \theoremstyle{theorem}  \newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}[section] \newtheorem{corollary}{Corollary}[theorem] \newtheorem{lemma}[theorem]{Lemma} \newtheorem{proposition}[theorem]{Proposition}  \theoremstyle{definition} \newtheorem{definition}{Definition}[section] \newtheorem{example}{Example}[definition]  \theoremstyle{remark}     \newtheorem{remark}{Remark}[section]   I want to produce the following:  theorem 1.1  proposition 1.2  definition 1.3  example 1.4  remark 1.5  lemma 1.6  but the code above gives me  theorem 1.1  definition 1.1  remark 1.1  lemma 1.2  Can anyone tell me if there is a code that numbers all these respectively? Contour integral of $\sqrt{z^2-1}$ on $|z| = 2$ I've been wrestling with this problem (available  ):  Evaluate the integral of $f(z) = \sqrt{z^2-1}$ around the circle $\{z: |z| = 2\}$, where the branch of the square root function is chosen so that $\sqrt{2^2-1} &gt; 0$.  I came up with the answer $$\int\limits_{|z| = 2} \sqrt{z^2-1} dz = \pi i$$ using the following argument, which seems a little like voodoo to me.  You notice that there are two points, at $z \pm 1$, where you might have to pick a branch of $log()$ to define the square root. Then, I convinced myself that as long as you exclude from your domain the real interval $-1 \le x \le 1$, the function $f(z)$ can be continuously defined (maybe the two branches somehow cancel?), and so is analytic on its domain.  Therefore you can shrink the contour of integration continuously using the Cauchy Closed Curve Integral Theorem, so that you wind up reducing it to the real integral $$2\int_{-1}^1 \sqrt{x^2-1} dx = \pi i$$  I'm not really sure the answer is correct, and I'm even less certain about the way I got it. I had a hard time convincing myself that $\sqrt{z^2-1}$ was not multi-valued on the domain. To try to get at that I tried $\sqrt{z^2-1} = \sqrt{z+1} \sqrt{z-1}$ and reasoned that the product makes the discontinuity disappear, using $$e^{\frac{\pi}{2}i}\cdot e^{\frac{\pi}{2}i} = -1 = e^{-\frac{\pi}{2}i}\cdot e^{-\frac{\pi}{2}i} $$ for the different branches of $log()$ you can choose.  I'd appreciate any input that would help me get a a better way to look at this.  Thanks!    EDIT  An attempt to use the Residue at infinity:  By substituting $z = 1/w$ you get \begin{eqnarray} \int\limits_{|z| = 2} \sqrt{z^2-1} dz &amp;=&amp; \int\limits_{|w| = 1/2} \frac{1}{w^2}\sqrt{\frac{1}{w^2}-1} dw \\ &amp;=&amp; \int\limits_{|w| = 1/2} \frac{1}{w^2}\sqrt{\frac{1-w^2}{w^2}} dw \\ &amp;=&amp; \int\limits_{|w| = 1/2} \frac{1}{w^3}\sqrt{1-w^2} dw \end{eqnarray} The integrand is analytic in $|w| \le 1/2$ except at $w = 0$, so we can apply the Residue Theorem. Near $w = 0$, $\sqrt{1-w^2} = 1 - \frac{1}{2}w^2 + \dots$, so the residue of $\frac{1}{w^3}\sqrt{1-w^2} $ at $w = 0$ is $-\frac{1}{2}$. Then the integral is $$\int\limits_{|z| = 2} \sqrt{z^2-1} dz = 2\pi i \cdot (-1/2) = -\pi i$$ Is it possible to dual boot two OS's at the same time? What diceless tabletop RPG techniques are there? I am interested in using a diceless resolution system for my roleplaying, but am not sure what my options are in that vein. I can think of basically two categories of diceless tabletop role-playing systems - systems which eschew any randomisation, and those which randomise by some method other than dice.  Examples  Non-random tabletop systems  One option is of direct comparison of stats or other game statistics without a randomization factor. The obvious example here is Amber DRPG, but I suspect that there are other narrative driven RPGs out there that I don't know about.   Even in Amber, situation resolution it is rarely by direct comparison between stats. Narrative techniques can be used to manoeuvre two characters into a situation which narrows the gap between their ranking, widens it, or brings other stats into the picture - the classic example of course being Corwin relying on his stamina to stretch out conflicts with his siblings such that it becomes a dominant enough factor that he can escape.  Other randomisation techniques  I have seen card-based randomization system. Over the years, I've played quite a few home brew games based on the original SAGA Dragonlance system, which was similar to the SAGA Marvel superhero system.  The basic mechanics were that you had a hand size according to your experience, and for any skill check you would play a card from your hand and replace your card from the draw pile. If you had a card of the right suit as the skill check (a strength card on a strength check) you would also draw a card from the draw pile and add that to your skill check, so a small trump was often worth more than a medium value card not of the correct suit. When you were wounded, you would discard cards to the value of the damage, but those cards wouldn't be replenished - your hand size would be reduced until you were healed. One nice aspect of the system was that it simulated fatigue beautifully, you might start a scene with a spread of high, medium and low cards, but as your high cards were played they would more often than not get replaced by lower value cards, until you were left with a bunch of useless cards and feeling very vulnerable.    The only other system I've played without dice was Everway which, if I remember correctly, used a combination of these techniques, stats based resolution, card resolution and GM fiat.  What I would be interested in is what other diceless resolution techniques exist, ideally with examples of tabletop diceless resolution methods people have tried and how they found them to play.
