How to hear my voice in speakers with a mic?
When should I start the DLC? I'm late to the Borderlands 2 party, but I picked up the Season Pass for a steal.  I'm still only in the teens as far as my level is concerned.  However, there are now 3 DLC packs out and I've got them all installed.  Sometimes it's tempting to go away from the main quest and just jump into something new and potentially interesting.  In BL1, I played through the DLC between playthroughs of the game, treating the add-ons like continuations of the game post-final-boss.  I'm not sure if this is a good idea in BL2 (or even if it was smart in BL1, honestly...)  Is there a recommended level for starting the DLCs?  Will I encounter enemies that are too hard if I go early, or too easy if I go late?  Are there some weapons or quest rewards that I really can't get the most of until after I'm a certain level? Omitting article “the” in front of plural nouns I'm helping someone learn English (second language), and I'm having trouble explaining when to use the and when not to. For example:     Students learn better when teachers are passionate about teaching.   versus     The students learn better when the teachers are passionate about teaching.   There's a subtle difference. The first one is a general statement, whereas the second might imply a study where a group of students learned better than another.  Is the difference simply that, general v. specific? What are irreducibles in the ring $R$ of entire functions? Is verifying ISOs downloaded from the official website worthwhile? I downloaded the ISO from , selecting the default "Ubuntu Desktop" option.  The website links the page  which gives instructions how to verify ubuntu.  This seems pretty tedious, and I am wondering how realistic it is that there is a problem with ISO downloaded from the official website. I note that the process of verification itself requires me to download software that is new to me, thus introducing another attack vector on me even as I am closing another one.  For what it's worth, I am planning to use Live USB only and not to fully install Ubuntu. Does that make a difference? Is any UFD also a PID? When traveling to a country with a different currency, how should you take your money? Undefined reference to vtable ESM is available for 12.04, which enables Advantage customers to keep receiving kernel updates and updates for many user space packages. In our case it's very important to know if we'll be able tot use Ubuntu 14.04 safely after April '19, because it is not possible to upgrade our application and migrate it to say, 16.04. How do I install openjdk 7 on Ubuntu 16.04 or higher? I would like to upgrade my main system to 16.04, but I work on projects that require OpenJDK 7.   Apparently it is not available from a trivial apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk. Only versions 8 and 9 are listed in the repository.  Can anyone point me to instructions on how to install it? What LaTeX markup would one have to write to produce a result similar to the image below?    Please excuse my Paint-and-mouse drawing skills. :-) "In" vs. "after" for future talk The class will be over in 10 minutes. The class will be over after 10 minutes.  I know the first is correct but why? I have the following diagram:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts,graphicx} \usepackage{algpseudocode} \usepackage{tikz, nth} \usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta,decorations,decorations.pathreplacing,calc,bending,positioning, chains}  \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.6]         \draw[thick,]  (0,8) -- (0,0) node[left] {0};         \draw[thick,]  (0,0) -- (8,0) node[right] {8};         \draw[thick,]  (8,8) -- (8,0) node[left] {};         \draw[thick,]  (8,8) -- (0,8) node[left] {8};          \draw[thick,]  (4,0) -- (4,8) node[left] {};          \fill (1, 4) circle[radius=2.5pt] node[below]{$A$};         \fill (2, 6) circle[radius=2.5pt] node[below]{$B$};         \fill (3, 2) circle[radius=2.5pt] node[below]{$C$};         \fill (4, 8) circle[radius=2.5pt] node[below]{$D$};         \fill (7, 3) circle[radius=2.5pt] node[below]{$E$};         \fill (6, 1) circle[radius=2.5pt] node[below]{$F$};         \fill (5, 7) circle[radius=2.5pt] node[below]{$G$};         \fill (3, 8) circle[radius=2.5pt] node[below]{$H$}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}   How can I position the caption of the node $D$ both below and left, so that the line doesn't obscure the caption? What are irreducibles in the ring $R$ of entire functions? Here's how far I have gone:  I first find the units in $R$. Let $f$ $ \in $ $R$ be a unit. Then $\exists$ $g$ $\in$ $R$ such that $fg=1$, i.e $f(z)g(z)=1$ $\forall$ $z$ $\in$ $\Bbb C$.  Then, $f(z)$ $=$ $\frac 1{g(z)}$ $\forall$ $z \in \Bbb C$. Hence $f(z),g(z) \neq 0$ $\forall$  $z \in \Bbb C$.  Now to find the irreducibles, let $f \in R$ be an irreducible. Hence whenever  $f(z)=g(z)h(z)$ for $g,h \in R$, then $g$ or $h$ is a unit.  Let $h$ be the unit and $\alpha$ be a zero of $f$. Then $f(\alpha)=g(\alpha)h(\alpha)=0$ $\Rightarrow$ $g(\alpha)=0$. Hence $z-\alpha$ is a factor of $g$. So $g(z)=(z-\alpha)^ng_1(z)$ for some $n \in \Bbb N$, where $g_1$ is unit. Since $f$ is irreducible, hence $n=1$.  I'm stuck here. What can be my next step? I want to create a 2D game but I'd like to have the character to wear tons of different equipments on different combinations, like a RPG or something.  So let's say the user changes his/her shoulders and pants, this must be shown to the player and all these different equipments must follow the different characters action (hitting, being hit, spelling magic, etc.).  I see a few problems that I'd like to know the best approach/algorithm/architecture to solve.  1 - Sprites or Animations  Should I create different sprites for each equipment in each action animation?  Is it better to just have the equipment sprite and animate it directly on code like rotating and translating (using something like tween on Flash)?  Is there any other better option? (I really don't like the ideas above)  2 - Positions  Let's say during one of the character's move he starts looking directly in front to the player's view but ends his movement showing his right side to the player (like if he swings his sword from one side to the other).  If we consider one part of the user, like his head for example, it starts in front and then turns left.  It means at least 3 different positions for each head equipment (helmet, cap, whatever).  This surely influence the answer of #1 question. How is the best way to achieve that?  3 - Layers  Let's consider a character move where he spins 360 degrees with his arms open. At the beginning of the animation, his right hand is close to the user's view and then, at the middle of the movement, this is probably behind the character's body on the animation.  Whatever is the option on #1 question, you surely needs to use some kind of layer model to make this sprite or animation to starts closer to the player's view and later change to far away from player's view.  Is there any good way to do that?  I know the question is quite long and difficult to understand. Let me know if you think it's better to have some drawings to try to explain which one and I'll try to do that. I think sometimes there is a need to post question as anonymous, reason being to avoid linking content of a question with the identity of the questioner. This may not be so evident or required on technical sites like stackoverflow.com but sometimes is a necessity on sites like  or maybe in future depression.stackexchange.com  On such sites user may not want to link his identity to some questions where he may detail about his being over-weight or skinny or maybe some other attribute which he may like to keep private and avoid making his concerns public, but still want to ask a question with valid data.  I am not suggesting that user asking question should not be registered or not responsible for content. I think all down-votes or up-votes should still be attributed to user, but this way most users would not suffer , and reputation could even be used for a bounty. The only change should be that while asking question a valid registered user can hide his identity (the whole user signature block/user card and the reputation should be replaced by "identity-hidden") and that question should not be listed in his public profile.  Anyway identity of questioner doesn't add much value to question. If we think such anonymous question may reduce social nature of Stack Exchange sites, and maybe majority of questions will become anonymous we can curb that by putting a daily or monthly limit per user or put a price of say 50 reputation per anonymous question.  PS: I don't think this is duplicate of        because motive for question and reason for feature request are different, and I propose a different solution too, because creating another account for asking such questions has many problems which having a single account doesn't have    I don't have to manage other account If I keep single account I still may want to keep my details to be linked to my non-anonymous questions I may want to use reputations I earned as bounty for anonymous questions    also allows anonymous questions and may be we can take some hint from there. Apparently recurrences like this cannot be solved with the Master Theorem:  $T(n) = 2T\left(\frac{n}{2}\right) + \frac{n}{\log(n)}$  Because $n^{\log_b(a)} = n^1$ is not a polynomial multiple of $f(n) = \frac{n}{\log(n)}$ since $\frac{n}{\frac{n}{\log(n)}} = \log(n)$, which is less than $n^\epsilon$ for any positive $\epsilon$.  But when is this really even an issue?   For example why wouldn't the time complexity be $n \log n$ using case 2 of the Master Theorem? Unrolling the recursion:  $$T(n) = n\sum_{k=1}^{\log_2(n)} \frac{1}{\log_2(2^k)}$$  $$T(n) = n\sum_{k=1}^{\log_2(n)} \frac{1}{k}$$  Doesn't this suggest $\Theta(n \log n)$ even though it supposedly cannot be done with Master Theorem? So I am in an introductory linear algebra(with proofs) class, and I came across the following theorem:  If $S$ is a subspace of a vector space $V(F)$ and is generated by $\{a_1,...,a_n\}$ then any subset $\{b_1,...,b_m\}$ of $S$ with $m&gt;n$ is linearly dependent.   The proof in the textbook is done through induction (as most proofs regarding finite sets are) but I really do not follow it and I feel there is a simpler way of doing it. A hint would be appreciated. How do you configure tomcat to bind to a single ip address (localhost) instead of all addresses?
