How to replace Mint with Ubuntu?
How does Ubuntu partition the disk when we choose "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" during installation?
Is time continuous or discrete? I was coding a physics simulation, and noticed that I was using discrete time. That is, there was an update mechanism advancing the simulation for a fixed amount of time repeatedly, emulating a changing system.  I though that was interesting, and now believe the real world must behave just like my program does. It is actually advancing forward in tiny but discrete time intervals? Recommendations for good Newtonian mechanics and kinematics books Status bar and navigation bar appear over my view's bounds in iOS 7 Residue integral: $\int_{- \infty}^{+ \infty} \frac{e^{ax}}{1+e^x} dx$ with $0 \lt a \lt 1$. I'm self studying complex analysis. I've encountered the following integral:  $$\int_{- \infty}^{+ \infty} \frac{e^{ax}}{1+e^x} dx \text{ with } a \in \mathbb{R},\  0 \lt a \lt 1. $$  I've done the substitution $e^x = y$. What kind of contour can I use in this case ? How can I find out which process is locking a file or folder in Windows?  For instance, when trying to delete a folder, Windows reports this:     The action can't be completed because the folder is open in another program   Happens the same with a file, but how do I find out what program or application is currently using it and preventing me from deleting the file or folder? My question is from Apostol's Vol. 1 One-variable calculus with introduction to linear algebra textbook.  Page 57. Exercise 12. Show that the following are polynomials by converting them to the form $\sum_{k=0}^{m}a_kx^k$ for a suitable $m$. In each case $n$ is a positive integer. $a)$ $(1+x)^{2n}.$ $b)$ $\frac{1-x^{n+1}}{1-x}, x\not=1.$ $c)$ $\prod_{k=0}^{n}(1+x^{2^k}).$  The attempt at a solution: a) part of the problem is pretty easy I guess, it is example of binomial theorem, so the answer would be $(1+x)^{2n}=\sum_{k=0}^{2n}(^{2n}_{k})x^k.$ Answer to part b) would be the following: $$\frac{1-x^{n+1}}{1-x}=\frac{(1-x)(1+x+x^2+\cdots+x^n)}{1-x}=1+x+x^2+\cdots+x^n=‌​\sum_{k=0}^{n}x^k.$$thanks to @DiegoMath's hint. As for part c), we have $$\prod_{k=0}^{n}(1+x^{2^k})=(1+x)(1+x^2)(1+x^4)(1+x^8)\cdots(1+x^{2^n})$$ and I have trouble &quot;converting&quot; this to sum which would be of a form of polynomial. Using a wi-fi and an ethernet connection at the same time thus having more bandwidth? Difference of the \dots* I came to wonder, what is the difference between the following?  \dotsc \dotso   As well as between:  \dotsb \dotsi \dotsm Does anyone have a Terminal command-line recipe for making a new bootable USB flash drive for one of the new MacBook Air's?  Is there a way to dd copy the USB boot device that comes in the box and make the new copy bootable?  I'd like to make a new backup copy of the USB rescue device for my MBA, preferably on a much larger flash drive with room for a backup of some of my working directories.  Added:  And is it possible to make, not just a rescue drive, but a bootable USB drive that will boot a fully updated version of the OS (say 10.6.8 or later)?  If so how on a MacBook Air 11, and how big a USB stick will this require? When I get a notification on android that someone had posted an answer or comment, if I click the notification, it opens the Stack Exchange app but shows the main view with the inbox opened, not the comment or answer that was in the notification.  If there is only one notification pending, when you tap it it should show you the actual contents rather than just the inbox. How can I restart a Windows 7 computer without screen or mouse? Optimizing a screenshot for adding in a document and printing What is true for a ring with exactly two right ideals Appendix without letter in TOC We need a profanity filter I searched SE.Meta and was unable to find such question.  Someone just swore at us in a  as an  (warning: profanity, may be NSFW), sure, Arqade (profanity in phrases in games) or some SE (ELU, ELL or Anime.SE maybe?) can sometimes contain profanity as a small parts of question.  I think that a part should be added to the review system that will automatically hide questions/answers with profanity, just like the close vote system, the question/answer will be on hold and will be voted to be shown or be deleted.  Tip, if this gets implemented, u can be typed as \/ or v, and most other can be written as leet (l = 1 etc). Maybe it can be called "suspicious activity", and can be triggered when there is too many number or Unicode characters. (I can write hi as |-| |, |-|I, |-|l, l-li, hî, 1-1i, H1 and many more) Creating fillable PDFs I'd like to create a LaTeX document that when rendered into PDF, has forms that can be filled out using Adobe Reader or other such programs. Then I'd like to be able to extract the data. I deliberately would like to avoid using Acrobat for all the usual reasons (non-free, need different versions for different platforms etc).   Can this be done ? Anti-Matter Black Holes Assuming for a second that there were a pocket of anti matter somewhere sufficiently large to form all the type of object we can see forming from normal matter - then one of these objects would be a black hole.  Question is, would there be a difference between an anti matter black hole and a normal matter black hole - in terms of how would the matter/anti-matter make the black hole different, or would they be the same?  I would expect the answer to be that the black hole formed from anti matter would retain the anti-matter properties in such a way that if it was to merge with a black hole at same size formed from normal matter that they would annihilate  each other con convert into pure energy - Would that be a correct understanding? Continuity of a convex function I'm trying to solve the following problem:  Let $f:K\rightarrow \mathbb{R} $, $f$ convex and $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ convex. Then $f$ is continuous on $K$.   I have proved the only case $n=1$, but for an arbitrary $n$?? How to iterate through the name of files in a folder Assume I have many TeX files. For the sake of simplicity, also asssume they are in a single folder or directory.  I want to input all files from within my main LaTeX document. Actually I can create a list of those files using C# in advance.  To enrich my view about LaTeX or TeX, could you tell me whether or not this job can be done only by using pure TeX or LaTeX? After migrating 2007 to 2010- when i open the web application empty team site is created. no datas are visible I have followed this link for migrating SharePoint 2007 to 2010:    When navigating to my site after migration only the empty team site is visible. None of the data is available. Visual upgrade option is not there.  Where am I going wrong?
