One bigger Virtual Machine distributed across many OpenStack nodes
Can a virtualized machine have the CPU and RAM resources of multiple underlying physical machines?
Apply a modifier as a shapekey into existing shapekey or merge shapekeys? I am making a shapekey of a model shrinkwrapped to another model. The shrinkmap modifier is too inaccurate to wrap to the model alone. So, my first step was to roughly hand position the geometry around of the first model around the second, then use shrinkwrap. The rough positioning was done as a shape key. I can then apply shrinkwrap, but its as a separate shapekey. The two do not work well together. I need them to be the same shapekey. How do I apply a modifier to an existing shapekey, or merge/combine/join the two shapekeys? A simple inequality for floor function On really old Ubuntu 6.06 - How to upgrade Help me to solve this problem please..  Let $Y_{(1)}, Y_{(2)}, Y_{(3)}, Y_{(4)}, Y_{(5)}$ denote the order statistics of a random sample of size 5 from a distribution having p.d.f. $f(y) = e^{(-y)}, 0 &lt; y &lt; \infty$, zero elsewhere. Show that $Z_1 = Y_{(2)}$ and $Z_2 = Y_{(4)} − Y_{(2)}$  are independent. Hint: First find the joint p.d.f. of $Y_{(2)}$  and  $Y_{(4)}$. Why do objects sometimes fall on their own? update line based on previous line Looking for a SF story regarding women growing things in their wombs I'm looking for the title and author of a short story or novelette that I read quite some time ago.   The main characters are two young women. One is taking correspondence courses, and is constantly being berated by the other one for hoping to rise above her station. They go out to pick up young men, to sleep with them, to get pregnant.  It's not a normal sort of pregnancy, though. The men have some sort of 'coded semen' which grow something other than a child in the woman's womb. It ends up being a product of some kind, which earns the woman money when it is 'born'. The one woman is very careful about who she chooses, as she can only do this so many times. The other... isn't so careful.   At the end, the careful, studious woman achieves what she has been working for - a letter from a government organisation that permits her to become the mother to a human being.  Thank you for reading my question. I've been looking for this story for years, now. setTimeout and "this" in JavaScript I have a method that uses the  function and makes a call to another method. On initial load method 2 works fine. However, after the timeout, I get an error that says method2 is undefined. What am I doing wrong here?  ex:  test.prototype.method = function() {     //method2 returns image based on the id passed     this.method2('useSomeElement').src = "http://www.some.url";     timeDelay = window.setTimeout(this.method, 5000); };  test.prototype.method2 = function(name) {     for (var i = 0; i &lt; document.images.length; i++) {         if (document.images[i].id.indexOf(name) &gt; 1) {             return document.images[i];         }     } }; How do I see the type of a variable whether it is unsigned 32 bit, signed 16 bit, etc.?  How do I view it? Please help me  to evaluate combinatorially the following sum: $$\sum_{k=0}^n \binom{n}{k}$$   Thank you. Indefinite integral of secant cubed I need to calculate the following indefinite integral:  $$I=\int \frac{1}{\cos^3(x)}dx$$  I know what the result is (from Mathematica):  $$I=\tanh^{-1}(\tan(x/2))+(1/2)\sec(x)\tan(x)$$  but I don't know how to integrate it myself. I have been trying some substitutions to no avail.   Equivalently, I need to know how to compute:  $$I=\int \sqrt{1+z^2}dz$$  which follows after making the change of variables $z=\tan x$. I'm using terminal-ide  which is basically a terminal for android with all sorts of utilities. One is able to create bash scripts for example. Is there a way to create an icon on the home screen that will launch one of these scripts? Javascript Date: next month Here's a corollary of AC stating that: if there exists an onto mapping $f:A\to B$, then there exists a 1-1 mapping $g:B\to A$. What I'm confused about is that whether or not  AC can be derived from this proposition, in return? I have tried but haven't found a proof. Any help would be appreciated. How can I highlight text before a character with listing? Can't get armature to move mesh! I am trying to get an armature to move one limb on a deer I have made. Here is my design process!   I made the body and limbs as separate meshes. I wasn't sure how to create limbs out of the body of the mesh and make them look good. I tried joining  the meshes, creating the armature and setting automatic weights and then moving the armature in pose mode. The mesh would not move with the armature I thought maybe it was because many vertices between the mesh and the limb were crossing so I thought maybe that was why the armature was not moving the limbs I used the cut tool to remove the intersecting mesh on the limb and the body so that there were no intersecting vertices.  I then joined this set of meshes and created a new armature, set the weights to automatic and tried to move the mesh in pose mode and it still won't work.    What should I do? I don't know what else to try. I have been following any other online instructions exactly.  File Link: The annihilator of a module is an ideal Let $R$ be a ring and let $M$ be an $R$-module. Define the annihilator of $M$ to be the following subset of $R$:  $Ann_R(M) =\{r\in R \mid rm = 0_M  \text{ for all } m\in M \}$  Prove that $Ann_R(M)$ is an ideal of $R$.  please help as much as you can a full answer is greatly appreciated   Thanks Is there a way to replicate Nikon D3100 live view on my laptop screen? I own a Nikon D3100 and I need a way to see the live view of my camera on my laptop screen.  There must definitely be a way (I am not just aware of it). I have searched all around the web sites... I could not get a solution.  The Nikon Camera Control Pro 2 does not support D3100, and "Camera Control 5.1" connects and shoots remotely from a laptop but does not show live-view nor shoot in RAW.  There is a way of connecting my camera to a TV or monitor directly via an HDMI cable and getting the live view, but I want it displayed to my laptop screen. How can I use JavaScript on the client side to detect if the page was encrypted? Is it possible to detect, on the client side, whether the user is using an encrypted page or not?  Put another way -- I want to know if the URL of the current page starts with http or https. Normed vector spaces over finite fields Normed vector spaces are typically defined over the reals or complex numbers.  Is there any "standard," well-behaved construction that generalizes this to a vector space over a finite field, such as $\Bbb F_2$?  I'm looking for something kind of like the class of $\ell_p$ norms, except designed with finite fields in mind.  Ideally, something that has deep fundamental properties making it well-behaved in the same way that the Euclidean norm is.
