Story where vampires are created by drop absorbed on neck?
I am new to Ubuntu. I am Using Ubuntu 18.04 along with Windows10. I have gone through the below Q&amp;A and could able to change the name of Ubuntu,      But   if i edit the Ubuntu OS name to my choice, it is then adding "GNU/Linux" at the end. for ex. if i want "Ubuntu 18.04" it is then showing as "Ubuntu 18.04 GNU/Linux". how to avoid this text "GNU/Linux" how to edit the name to my choice which is shown as "Windows Boot Manager (on /dev/sda1)"        Update: I Confirm about the text "GNU/Linux" is solved by @Terrance comments. I still need to try about windows entry.      Final Update: Solved.    I thank @Terrance, @Oldfred, @WinEunuuchs2Unix. All the three methods are working great. i felt the small script is awesome and very very easy to use. which is written by WinEuuuchs2Unix. The ring $\Bbb Z\left [\frac{-1+\sqrt{-19}}{2}\right ]$ is not a Euclidean domain Let $\alpha = \frac{1+\sqrt{-19}}{2}$. Let $A = \mathbb Z[\alpha]$. Let's assume that we know that its invertibles are $\{1,-1\}$. During an exercise we proved that:     Lemma: If $(D,g)$ is a Euclidean domain such that its invertibles are $\{1,-1\}$, and $x$ is an element of minimal degree among the elements that are not invertible, then $D/(x)$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z$ or $\mathbb Z/3\mathbb Z$.   Now the exercise asks:     Prove that $A$ is not a Euclidean Domain.   Everything hints to an argument by contradiction: let $(A, d)$ be a ED and $x$ an element of minimal degree among the non invertibles we'd like to show that $A/(x)$ is not isomorphic to $\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z$ or $\mathbb Z/3\mathbb Z$.  How do we do that? My problem is that, since I don't know what this degree function looks like, I don't know how to choose this $x$!  I know that the elements of $A/(x)$ are of the form $a+(x)$, with $a$ of degree less than $x$ or zero. By minimality of $x$ this means that $a\in \{0, 1, -1\}$. Now I'm lost: how do we derive a contradiction from this? Availability of MXD file for OpenStreetMap data in Esri Geodatabase? From what I understand, an ArcGIS mxd file contains the "styling" information on how to show data.  I downloaded and imported OpenStreetMap data into my geodatabase. Now I need to show them.  Is there any available mxd file match the OpenStreetMap fields/values that I can use?  I check this question(), but the links are all dead.  ps: right now the all the highway/roads/trail display as a single line in my map. I want to use mxd to show them in a better way, like Mapnik or google.

Showing that a group of order $pq$ is cyclic if it has normal subgroups of order $p$ and $q$ This is question 2.9 #9 from Topics in Algebra by Herstein:     If $o(G)$ is $pq$ where $p$ and $q$ are distinct prime numbers and if $G$ has a normal subgroup of order $p$ and a normal subgroup of order $q$, prove that $G$ is cyclic.   Let $N$ denote the normal subgroup of order $p$ and $M$ denote the normal subgroup of order $q$. Here are a couple things I noted while exploring the problem:   $N$ and $M$ are cyclic, since they have prime order. $G = NM$ [1].   Any hints where to look next?    [1] Since $N,M$ are normal, $NM \le G$. Then $o(NM) \mid o(G)$, so $o(NM)$ is either $1$, $p$, $q$, or $pq$. The first three don't work because they force one of $N$ or $M$ to be $(e)$, so we have $o(NM) = pq$. Therefore, $NM = G$. What is the opposite of "parallel" in architecture? The two towers of the Verrazano Bridge are not parallel: they are slightly [???] to account for the curvature of the earth.    What is that word? Why is there no 32 bit ISO for the new Ubuntu 18.04? Why is there no 32 bit ISO for the new Ubuntu 18.04? I have often heard it recommended that a user account should be disabled by setting its shell to /bin/false. But, on my existing Linux systems, I see that a great number of existing accounts (all of them service accounts) have a shell of /sbin/nologin instead.  I see from the man page that /sbin/nologin prints a message to the user saying the account is disabled, and then exits. Presumably /bin/false would not print anything.  I also see that /sbin/nologin is listed in /etc/shells, while /bin/false is not.  The man page says that FTP will disable access for users with a shell not listed in /etc/shells and implies that other programs may do the same. Does that mean that somebody could FTP in with an account that has /sbin/nologin as its shell?  What is the difference here? Which one of these should I use to disable a user account, and in what circumstances? What other effects does a listing in /etc/shells have? Can someone please let me know the minimum system requirements and GPU requirement to run blender 2.80 and eevee smoothly?   Also please let me know the optimum system requirements for the purpose of    environment modeling Game development charachter modelling and animation   Also if someone can suggest me a good desktop/laptop for personal use that is compatible with blender 2.80 in a low budget.  Any help will be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance! How can I store and retrieve a custom list in a blend file? I am trying to create a script that will allow me to generate a list and store it in the blend file. The list starts out blank and then strings get added to the list, resulting in: [&quot;test1&quot;,&quot;test2&quot;,&quot;test3&quot;] I create a PropertyGroup Class for the enum, define a new scene property as a CollectionProperty type with access to that enum Class, before appending a new item into the enum: import bpy  class item_set(bpy.types.PropertyGroup):     myItems = []     enums = bpy.props.EnumProperty(name=&quot;My Items&quot;, items=myItems) bpy.utils.register_class(item_set)  bpy.types.Scene.myItemSet = bpy.props.CollectionProperty(type=item_set)      newItem = bpy.context.scene.myItemSet.add() newItem.myItems.append(&quot;test&quot;)    I need to be able to add items to the list, save the blend file, re-open the file, run the script again and retrieve the list from the scene. However, the  states:  One thing to keep in mind is that after saving and reloading your blend-file, your new property will have disappeared...    ...To make the values you assigned in a previous session available again, you need to redefine the property. So after reopening the blend-file you need to rerun: bpy.types.Object.myProperty = bpy.props.StringProperty()   I can do the appending into and retrieval of the property values absolutely fine upon an initial run, but as the documentation states, the property is unavailable when trying to view it's contents on a reload of the file (after having run the script, saved and re-opened the file), but I am unsure how to redefine it without clearing all it's values. If I redefined the scene property, it would presumably also need the enum Class to be available, which would currently set myItems back to [] (empty). Do I need to change the way I am initially setting the items in the class or am I on entirely the wrong track with all of this? All I need to do is store a list in the blend file, so if there is a better way please let me know. Thanks. (I would hope, eventually, to be able to store sub lists [[&quot;a&quot;,&quot;b&quot;],[&quot;c&quot;,&quot;d&quot;],[&quot;e&quot;,&quot;f&quot;]], I'm just trying to get normal lists to work first.) invalid conversion from ‘const char*’ to ‘char’ Prove that : $\displaystyle \lim_{n\to \infty} \frac{1}{n+1}+\frac{1}{n+2}+\frac{1}{n+3}+\cdots+\frac{1}{2n}=\ln 2$    the only thing I could think of is that it can be written like this :  $$ \lim_{n\to \infty} \sum_{k=1}^n \frac{1}{k+n} =\lim_{n\to \infty} \frac{1}{n} \sum_{k=1}^n \frac{1}{\frac{k}{n}+1}=\int_0^1 \frac{1}{x+1} \ \mathrm{d}x=\ln 2$$  is my answer right ? and are there any other method ?(I'm sure there are) Probability of sampling with and without replacement In sampling without replacement the probability of any fixed element in the population to be included in a random sample of size $r$ is $\frac{r}{n}$. In sampling with replacement the corresponding probability is $\left[1- \left(\frac{1}{1-n}\right)^r\right]$.  Please help me show how this is proved. Best solution to protect PHP code without encryption First of all, I'm not looking for miracle... I know how PHP works and that there's not really way to hide my code from the clients without using encryption. But that comes with the cost of an extension to be installed on the running server.  I'm looking for something different though... I'm not looking to encrypt my code or even obfuscate it. There are many PHP scripts without encrypted/obfuscated code but they are commercial applications. For instance, vBulletin and/or IP.Board forum applications.  I just want to know what approach do these guys use for their applications...  I'm also open to any other suggestions.  Please note that I'm a single person and not working for a company. My product is also very specific, it won't sell that much. I just want you guys to know that I can't afford to consult a legal professional either to sue someone or prepare a commercial license. I'm just looking for a simple way to protect my simple product, if it's indeed possible, somehow... How to make crontab email me with output? How can I make crontab email me with the output of its jobs? I have MAILTO=redacted@yahoo.com.au above the jobs, but it doesn't work.  I know I need to use something like Postfix or Sendmail but for the life of me I cannot find out how to achieve this. I've searched and searched for a simple guide on setting up Postfix but they're all insanely complicated and expect you to be setting up a whole server to send and receive email and to know all the terms (like, what is a domain name for outgoing emails?).  All I want to do is have crontab email me. Why is this so difficult??  Additional Info:  My crontab file looks like this:  MAILTO=redacted@yahoo.com.au 1 0 * * * ~/Desktop/toskymesh.sh 59 6 * * * ~/Desktop/tooptus.sh 0 3 * * * snapraid sync   More Additional Info:  The output of ps -ef | grep '[s]endmail'  root 6840 1370 0 10:26 ? 00:00:00 sendmail: MTA: accepting connections   I know for sure cron is working, but I'm testing the mail command with echo Test | mail -s Test redacted@yahoo.com.au anyway. Can an infinite set A be larger than an infinite set B but still have the same cardinality? Definition. Two sets have the same cardinality iff they can be put into one-to-one correspondence; or,     $$A \simeq B \iff |A| = |B| $$    This definition applies to infinite as well as to finite sets. It follows from the last three definitions that set $A$ has a larger cardinality than set $B$ iff both    a proper subset of $A$ and the whole of $B$ can be put into one-to-one correspondence the whole of $A$ cannot be put into one-to-one correspondence with any proper subset of $B$.   From: A Crash Course in the Mathematics Of Infinite Sets Peter Suber, Philosophy Department, Earlham College  The last part specifically refers to proper subsets of $B$.  That excludes at least one subset of $B$, namely $B$.  So, is it possible that the whole of A cannot be put into one-to-one correspondence with any proper subset of $B$ but may with $B$ itself? Why did he not say "any subset of $B$"? Given a method signature:  public bool AreTheSame&lt;T&gt;(Expression&lt;Func&lt;T, object&gt;&gt; exp1, Expression&lt;Func&lt;T, object&gt;&gt; exp2)   What would be the most efficient way to say if the two expressions are the same? This only needs to work for simple expressions, by this I mean all that would be "supported" would be simple MemberExpressions, eg c => c.ID.  An example call might be:  AreTheSame&lt;User&gt;(u1 =&gt; u1.ID, u2 =&gt; u2.ID); --&gt; would return true Group theory proof of existence of a solution to $x^2\equiv -1\pmod p$ iff $p\equiv 1 \pmod 4$ I've read through the elementary proof of why there exists a solution $x$ to $x^2\equiv -1\pmod p$ iff $p\equiv 1 \pmod 4$ for $p$ an odd prime. Is there a group theory generalization for this fact as well? Formula to add minutes to date+time in Excel If I have a cell formatted as date+time in Excel, how can I add to this in terms of minutes? It would need to work whether I was adding 20 minutes, or 2,500 minutes.   So, for example if I had this spreadsheet, what formula could I put in B5 to get a result of 2013-09-22 09:10?    I tried using =B4+TIME(0,B3,0), but it gives 2013-09-21 09:10 which is a day off. It works fine though if B3 is less than a day's worth.
