Set the location in iPhone Simulator Today I downloaded Ubuntu for my laptop. It runs great from a bootable USB, but when I tried to install it, I got the following error message: The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk:  [Errno 5] Input/output error  This is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard    disk. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower   speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often    available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard disk   is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler   environment.     I tried everything to install it on my laptop including redownloading the Ubuntu ISO image, but nothing worked. How to search for only folders in Windows 7 instead of folders AND files I've had some issues with the new search function in Windows 7. The Search in Windows XP was packed with so many more options. The only option I can access now are Date Modified and Size.  Any pointers to how to get more options in the Windows 7 Search, or links to external programs that can make my life easier? Present Perfect with the word "ago"? First, I check that my native language is not English, and the problem described below met on one of the exams.   With this sentence:      "The most important news is that my parents [...] a new restaurant a few   weeks ago."   Is the correct tense to use the Present Perfect (have opened) or Past Simple (opened)?   I know that the word "ago" but rather that time Past Simple, but is it also possible to use the present perfect in some cases?  I would be grateful for clarification. How are constraint forces represented in Lagrangian mechanics? I was just wondering since i have the 12.04 lts ubuntu edition if it's possible to upgrade it to 13.04 or even 14.04 after it gets released without losing any of my files and installed apps?  That's actually the main reason i chose the LTS version because i didn't know if i had to re-install all my apps every time a new ubuntu version gets released. How to launch terminal on login How could I get the terminal to be launched once I have logged in, so that typing commands is much simpler? Is the Stack Overflow source code available? How Did Dumbledore Stay in Limbo? Most of this discussion involves events at the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows so if you haven't read that book and don't want spoilers, then stop reading right now.  Yes, now.  It's not clear whether limbo is something everyone moves through in Harry Potter when they die, but when Harry is killed, he not only ends up there, but Dumbledore is there, waiting for him.  Did Dumbledore wait for him all that time, in limbo, until Harry showed up?  Did he have any way of watching what Harry was doing in that time?  Or did he have a way to enter limbo when Harry did to meet him there?  And once Harry was gone, was Dumbledore able to move on, or would he be stuck there? I was trying to run chmod -R 777 ./ but ended up typing chmod -R 777 / and set 777 on my entire machine. What can go wrong? How can I fix it? What is the SE version of Seven Dirty Words?

How do I get AMD/Intel Hybrid Graphics drivers to work? On Ubuntu 12.04 my Sony Vaio VPCSE with Intel® HD Graphics 3000 and AMD Radeon™ HD 6630M worked fine with the Catalyst Control Center version 12.6. Also the switching between integrated and discrete graphic card was working.  In both cases, I followed this .  But it is not working on Ubuntu 12.10.   I tested the tutorial with the Catalyst Control Center from the Ubuntu Software Center, the version 12.8 and version 12.9. Always the same problem: After installation process I am able to boot in the login-screen. But after entering the password for my username, only the background-image appears. Unity seems not to be starting. I am only able to reach the context-menu by right clicking the mouse button.  I also tried , but is also does not work for me.  Any ideas what to do to fix this problem?   Update: Same problem on Ubuntu 13.04!  Update: Solution for 13.04 ist not working on Ubuntu 13.10! How can you get the permalink for an answer to a question? I wanted to link to an answer to a Stack Overflow question, but couldn't find a way to do it. I couldn't get the ID of the answer in order to create the link.  How can you get the permalink for an answer to a question? Eclipse freeze accessing project -> properties -> android tab How can I increase memory security in Delphi? Is it possible to "wipe" strings in Delphi? Let me explain:  I am writing an application that will include a DLL to authorise users. It will read an encrypted file into an XML DOM, use the information there, and then release the DOM.  It is obvious that the unencrypted XML is still sitting in the memory of the DLL, and therefore vulnerable to examination. Now, I'm not going to go overboard in protecting this - the user could create another DLL - but I'd like to take a basic step to preventing user names from sitting in memory for ages. However, I don't think I can easily wipe the memory anyway because of references. If I traverse my DOM (which is a TNativeXML class) and find every string instance and then make it into something like "aaaaa", then will it not actually assign the new string pointer to the DOM reference, and then leave the old string sitting there in memory awaiting re-allocation? Is there a way to be sure I am killing the only and original copy?  Or is there in D2007 a means to tell it to wipe all unused memory from the heap? So I could release the DOM, and then tell it to wipe.   Or should I just get on with my next task and forget this because it is really not worth bothering. In my book about Logic, which is called 'Language, Proof and Logic', by the way, there is explained that the conditional $ P \rightarrow Q $ is equivalent with $\neg P \lor Q$.   that gives as answer: 'just compare the truth tables and you can see that they are equivalent'. However, I would like to know how to prove this using formal propositional logic. This should be possible, right? Recolor Artwork: single swatch to multiple swatches I have an Illustrator document with a lot of objects. All the objects are black, same swatch.  I have a swatch group with a few dozen coloured swatches. I wish to apply these swatches to all the many black objects. It doesn’t have to be in any particular order, but each object should be coloured individually—I don’t just want to change black into some other colour, but to dozens of other colours. What I really want to avoid is having to select each object individually and then applying a different swatch to each.  I’ve never quite managed to get my head properly around the Recolor Artwork feature in Illustrator, and I cannot for the life of me get it to do anything like this. The “New” box in the Recolor Artwork dialogue box appears to accept only one colour.  Is there some way to do this using the Recolor Artwork feature? Or using some other feature that I’m not aware of? Bonus points if there’s a way to control the order in which the colours are applied; e.g., specifying an order and then click on each object in turn to apply each swatch being ‘iterated’ through in that order.  (I would prefer to avoid having to script it, but I will if there’s no other way.) Is there a BNF grammar of the TeX language? I'm looking for a BNF grammar of the TeX language, does it exist?  EDIT  For those of us who are not computer scientists, a BNF grammar is one kind of formal description of a CFG: .  For those who don't know their Chomsky, a CFG is a , which means (very roughly) that substitutions can be made independently of their use context. Composition of two Riemann integrable functions About 0.999... = 1 I've just happened to read this  on MO (that of course has been closed) and some of the answers to a similar  on MSE.   I know almost nothing of nonstandard analysis and was asking myself if something like the sentence « $1- 0.999 \dots$ is a nonzero positive infinitesimal» could be easily expressed and proved in nonstandard analysis.  First of all, what is 0.999... ? If we take the usual definition as a series or as a limit of a sequence of rationals, then it will still be a real number and equal to $1$ (I guess by "transfer principle", but please correct me if I'm wrong).  Instead, let's define  $$0.9_N:=\sum_{i=1}^N 9\cdot 10^{-i} $$  where $N\in{}^*\mathbb{N}\setminus\mathbb{N}$ is an infinite nonstandard natural number. This $0.9_N$ is a legitimate element of ${}^*\mathbb{R}$, expressed as $0.$ followed by an infinite number of "$9$" digits.  What can be said about $\epsilon_N:=1-0.9_N$ ? Is there an elementary proof that $\epsilon_N$ is a positive infinitesimal of ${}^*\mathbb{R}$ ? (by "elementary" I mean just order and field axioms and the intuitive facts about infinitesimals, like that for $x$ infinite $1/x$ is infinitesimal etc.; no nonprincipal ultrafilters &amp; C).
