to install ubuntu on dell latitude d600?
How do I find out which version and derivative of Ubuntu is right for my hardware in terms of minimal system requirements?
How do I add a border around windows but keep the current theme? I seem to live my life in the terminal - many terminals in-fact.  I also love the Ambiance theme - but the new borderless windows does not provide the visual differentiation I'm used to (the same black windows appear to blend into each other).    Thus to my question - how do I add back the single pixel border for windows that is found in earlier Ubuntu versions?  I want to keep the Ambiance overall theme since this looks good and I dont want to swap to another theme.      Now I know that I can modify the Ubuntu Ambiance theme as follows:  mkdir ~/.themes cp -r /usr/share/themes/Ambiance .themes   Then flipping between the theme options in the Settings - Appearance picks up changes in the theme in now in the .themes folder.  I presume I need to alter one of the .css files but I dont know which one.  I was also looking at  but the solutions there doesnt work for 14.04.  I also looked at the  but got rather lost trying to figure out which one applies to my situation. How to find fixed points for DES weak keys How can I pass a Parameter via Query String to populate a lookup field on a New Item Form/DVWP? Can I run PC steam games on a Mac? I recently downloaded 'Blood Bowl' on Steam to my Mac, not realizing that it was not Mac-compatible. Is there any software or any way that will allow me to play it, as obviously I've already paid for it? Cheers. Interval preserving transformations are linear in special relativity How to tell if mains voltage is on with microcontroller? I want to be able to tell if the mains voltage is on or off with an Arduino.   How could I do this safely with minimal components (or components from Radio Shack)? How can I get a list of all packages in a repository section from command line? In Python, I can compile a regular expression to be case-insensitive using re.compile:  &gt;&gt;&gt; s = 'TeSt' &gt;&gt;&gt; casesensitive = re.compile('test') &gt;&gt;&gt; ignorecase = re.compile('test', re.IGNORECASE) &gt;&gt;&gt;  &gt;&gt;&gt; print casesensitive.match(s) None &gt;&gt;&gt; print ignorecase.match(s) &lt;_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x02F0B608&gt;   Is there a way to do the same, but without using re.compile. I can't find anything like Perl's i suffix (e.g. m/test/i) in the documentation. What is information? How to repair a corrupted Excel file I'm trying to restore some files for a friend who messed up a USB stick by pulling it out of the computer too soon. By searching invisible partitions I was able to restore the files. All files are intact, except 1 excel file that seems to be corrupted.  I've googled about ways to repair an Excel file, because the default repair options in Excel 2003-2010 do not work for this file. I've came across a numerous  third-party apps, of which the  one seemes to be able to do the job: Recovery Toolbox for Excel.  Of-course, this and all other apps I found require a purchase to actually repair the file. It seems a bit silly to pay 30 dollars for a one time thing, and something that is not for myself. So, I would like to keep that as a last-resort option.  Is there anything I can try to fix this? I've attached a screenshot of how the file looks when I open it on my OSX when converted to a HTML file (to view the code), for  the option that it could be a character set problem. mod_pagespeed : install earlier version compatible with libc6 2.13 (Debian Wheezy) Setting proxy for apt from terminal Possible Duplicate:          I have tried changing my proxy settings in a terminal as:  export HTTP_PROXY=http://10.1.3.1:8080   and  export http_proxy=http://10.1.3.1:8080   but when I try to install a new package or update apt-get, apt-get starts displaying messages from which it seems it is trying to connect to a previously set proxy:  sudo apt-get update   0% [Connecting to 10.1.2.2 (10.1.2.2)] [Connecting to 10.1.2.2 (10.1.2.2)   I have tried setting the proxy via bashrc file but that din work either. As far as I remember 10.1.2.2 was set using GNOME GUI but I don't have access to the GUI right now so I am trying to set it from terminal. Why does your reflection suddenly turn upside down while slowly walking away from a curved mirror? Many people should have realised, when looking into a concave curved mirror (or even a rather reflective spoon in that fact) at a close distance, you will see a slightly distorted reflection. But as you move further away, the image will suddenly become upside-down.  why is this? This is what is supposedly his claim:     My noumenal self is an uncaused cause outside of time, which therefore   is not subject to the deterministic laws of nature in accordance with   which our understanding constructs experience.   How can he say that if a noumenal self has to exist in nature and be bound to body that exists in nature? Also, if his noumenal self is free then so does 7 billion other people's, which is not the case because they all live in a societal structure where everyone has freedom that comes with a bunch conditions as to what is forbidden. I have a small issue with configuring the lidR  for parametrizing the extracted raster files with grid_metrics() function.  My question is how to set in the catalog options that:   be able to overwrite the results with a second run if I want to run my script several times and I do not want to name each output differently. instead of .tif I would like to get .grd files as output.   My current code (which is working) is the following:  normalizedctg = catalog(workingdirectory) opt_output_files(normalizedctg) &lt;- paste(workingdirectory,"/clipped/normalized/{XLEFT}_{YBOTTOM}_height",sep="") height = grid_metrics(normalizedctg, max(Z),res = resolution)   But with a second run on the same code I get the following error:  Error in .getGDALtransient(x, filename = filename, options = options,  :    filename exists; use overwrite=TRUE The prepositions “with”, “at” and “for” are also used to associate a business title with a company's name. It seems that they are interchangeable, with no (significant) difference in meaning. The following examples taken from The New York Times website seem to confirm that:      Until now, said Justin Nielson, a senior analyst for the media   research firm SNL Kagan, “there really hasn't been any direct   competitor . . .      “The consumer is still deleveraging,” said Jason Goldberg, a senior   analyst with Barclays. “It's not a lack of supply; it's a lack of   demand.”      “There’s the party of fear and the party of despair,” Nikos Xydakis, a   political analyst and an editor at Kathimerini daily, said.   Are they really the same as for meaning? If it isn't so, what is the difference between them? Improper display of parentheses in fraction of fraction The following code:  $\dfrac{\left( \dfrac{\left( \dfrac{1}{2}\right) }{2}\right) }{2}$   gives a nasty output:   It seems that the $\left( \right)$ command doesn't do the job.  Any idea how to solve this in general? 70s UK science fiction TV show with time travel and telepathic cat I'm trying to identify a science fiction series on UK TV during the 70s, but I can only recall the following:   A party of adults and children. There was a woman with a telepathic bond to her cat: she could look into its eyes to see what it had seen. Time travel was involved. I think it may have been inadvertent or uncontrolled time travel. On one occasion the party encountered an Elizabethan seaman who demanded to know if Elizabeth was still queen. They party replied "err... yes" because they didn't want to have to explain time travel. Why not use the Lagrangian, instead of the Hamiltonian, in nonrelativistic QM? Assign default keyboard language per-application Is it possible to assign default keyboard language for specific applications? I know that there is an option to always start an application with a default keyboard language but this is not what I want.  I'm looking for something similar to "fixed workspaces" which you can set using CompizConfig (You set Chrome to always open at X1Y1, terminal at X2Y1 etc). Something where I would set Chrome: Czech, terminal: English, Spotify: English, ...
