How to start/stop/restart a thread in Java? How do I customize the date/time display in GNOME Shell's top bar? Time indicator is shown as "%a %H:%M" in the center of the top bar.  How do I move it back to the right where it belongs, and make it include the full date and time ("%Y-%m-%d %s %H:%M")? I own a Panasonic DMC-G81 (same as G80/G85) with in-body Image Stabilization.  When turned on everything is just fine, but when turned off, the sensor is wobbling around in the body. When no lens attached, it's clearly visible moving about 1/2 cm in the body. I didn't find anything about it in the internet. Shouldn't the sensor be in a kind of parking position, should I worry about the sensor ?  I'm not sure if that is the usual behavior, maybe someone with the same or similar body can have a look. Windows is unable to detect disk partitions I installed Windows 8.1 Preview using the DVD yesterday after wiping off my HDD (I made a backup prior to that). While installing Windows I created only the partitions necessary to install Windows (System Reserved, C: shown in second screenshot). Further I installed Ubuntu 13.04. During Ubuntu installation I created necessary extended partitions (for OS, swap and home directory - all ext4 except swap). Later within Ubuntu I created a NTFS partition at the end (partition 4 in first screenshot). This was a primary partition. The objective behind this was that the partition must be accessible from Windows.  While Ubuntu disk utility reports the partitioning just fine (as below)  Windows disk management is showing all partitions as primary.   Thus within Windows I am able to access only C:! What puzzles me is one can't create so many primary partitions! How can I solve this issue? I keep on seeing a fair number of questions (such as ) which get marked as answered within 5-10 minutes of being posted. Sometimes the questions like this are insanely popular and actually see some proper discussion, however often I see questions have few views and only 1 answer. The trouble with these questions is that very few people have scrutinised the answer for correctness, or possibly a better solution. I always make a point of not accepting my answers until a day or so has passed — would it not be a good idea to put a short (1 hour or so) time limit on accepting answers on new questions with few views or votes, or perhaps just an additional confirmation dialog, something along the lines of:  Your question is new and not many people have had a chance to look at it yet.  Are you sure you don't want to wait to see if anyone else has a better suggestion? Can fresh pasta sheets be used to assemble a lasagne, then left in the fridge overnight before baking? Or will this make them mushy or otherwise degrade them?  I have recently gotten into making fresh pasta, and I want to prep a lasagne the night before. I have done this before with store-bough dried noodles, but I'm not sure if doing this will have a negative effect on fresh, more delicate pasta. Over the weekend Sprint and T-Mobile announced again that they would try to merge.  Assuming the powers that be in the US don't have any issue with this deal and it moves forward as proposed, what does it mean for me as a shareholder?  I have 2,000 Sprint shares, and as part of the deal it looks like one Sprint share will be worth ~10% of a T-Mobile share as of the price on Friday.  So does that mean that, if this goes through in early 2019, my 2,000 Sprint shares would turn into 200 T-Mobile shares? What if the price of Sprint stock goes up from here? What if it craters? Is this price/ratio set in stone?  If my stock does get converted, does that happen automatically? Will Fidelity all of a sudden show that I own TMUS stock instead of S? Is password confirmation necessary on a Change Password dialog? On one hand there is no need to ask for password confirmation because it is annoying. If I made a mistake when confirming my password I'll need retype my very complex password again. There is also a button that can show/hide the password so I don't need retype it in order to confirm it.   However, some users don't use the password show/hide button and the 'forgotten password' option will be pain for them.  Twitter removed the password confirmation from registration but left the dual confirmation in place for changing password. Is this right approach? If gravity isn't a force, then why do we learn in school that it is? I have studied some of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, and I understand that it states that gravity isn't a force but rather the effects of objects curving space-time. If this is true, then why are we instructed in middle school that it is a force? How can I run a program on startup, minimized? I just want Telegram to be run and I have added it to startup apps. The point is that I need it to be minimized. Any commands? How can I '\input' a file without getting the implicit newline? Someone asked me this question and I don't think I gave him an adequate answer (I was trying to think of the extreme case - that of neutron stars) C programming: How to program for Unicode? What prerequisites are needed to do strict Unicode programming?  Does this imply that my code should not use char types anywhere and that functions need to be used that can deal with wint_t and wchar_t?  And what is the role played by multibyte character sequences in this scenario? Check differentiability of multivariable functions I am trying to determine if the following functions are (totally)   differentiable at $(x,y)=(0,0)$.      $$f(x,y)=\sqrt{\vert xy \vert}$$      $$g(x,y)=e^{{{\vert x \vert}^3}y}$$   However I am not particularly sure where to start. The concept of the total derivative being the Jacobian matrix makes sense but I don't really understand how to work with functions that may not have a Jacobian matrix. Any help would be greatly appreciated! PCB opaque coating for anti reverse engineering? Im trying to find a coating for my PCB in order to protect it from reverse engineering. I want it opaque, non-conductive and with a low thermal resistance.  Basically I do not want that someone replicates my circuit easily. I´ve beens searching a lot on coatings but did't find anything that suits to all my requirement. Anyone with an idea? Active Web Site as Gnome Background Is there a way to put an active website, such as Gmail, as your Desktop background in Gnome, running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit? MS Win calls it "Active Desktop". Finding the search terms behind 'not provided' We use Google Analytics to track the vistors to our websites, were currently putting together a big audit of our SEO and one of the things we want to see is what search terms are working for us.  About 90% of our organic search traffic comes under 'not provided' which as i understand means a user is signed into a Google account when coming to our site, thus Google doesn't track their search terms.   This makes it really hard to conduct a meaningful study, (i suppose we could get the data of the 10% that we do have search terms for and multiply them it but i dont think thats a particularly good or meaningful approach).  Is there a workaround to see behind the 'not provided' data and see the search terms actually used ?    UPDATE  I read  last night from Hacker news, which states :     [using https will allow you] more complete referrer information in Google Analytics for people   visiting from sites already using HTTPS   and contained a link to this , it seems to say that because Google's users are using https that an https site cannot pass data to an http site, as the http site is not secure, none of the sites i manage have https / sll setup, could some one confirm if Google will pass you more referrer data if your site has https implemented ? What ingredients can I add to no-knead bread to extend its life? Is there anything I can add to a standard no-knead bread recipe to allow the bread to stay softer for longer? Bread baked the night before, while still edible, is not as pliable the next midday.  I currently use bread flour, yeast, salt and water but was thinking of adding milk, butter or eggs. If there is a single food additive I can add I would consider this, but I don't want to adulterate the recipe too much. Vertically centered horizontal rule filling the rest of a line? I'd like to have a horizontal line extending from the end of the text on a line to the right margin. So far I've found \hrulefill and \leaders\hrule\hfill, but these draw a line that's flush with the baseline of my text — how can I get it to be vertically centered? A number of times I have encountered in text-books and articles that neutrinos might contribute only a small fraction to dark matter. The reason has to do with the fact that if all of the dark matter consisted of neutrinos, then small-scale structures in the Universe could not have formed yet, because, as they say, neutrinos "wash out" small fluctuations. However, none of these texts provided a reference to any specific sources explaining in detail what is meant by "washing out". After all, neutrinos are notorious in their weak interaction with baryonic matter, so if there is a small-scale fluctuation of baryons, then how background neutrinos can prevent it from growing further if they practically do not interact with baryons? I guess the question boils down to calculating cross-sections of interactions at specific temperatures. I would appreciate comments and references to sources addressing this particular issue.
