Cannot open the 32-bit Ubuntu Server/Desktop in VirtualBox
Kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. How can I install Lubuntu/Ubuntu?
How does Star Trek bridge crew spend their time when on duty? It's implied that the Enterprise bridge crew, in any of the TV series, spend long durations at their duty stations, either sitting or standing.  What exactly are they doing for hours on end while the Enterprise is en route between destinations? Is it me or does this seem like an incredibly tedious if not fatiguing job, sitting in a chair staring at the same view screen? Couldn't these tasks be automated? Which is the rarest badge awarded/the least popular one/the one hardest to get? How could Argus Filch clean up the whole castle by himself without magic? Suppose $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n} = S$ where $S$ is finite.  Then  $$S =\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n}= \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{2n-1} + \frac{1}{2n} &gt; \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{2n} + \frac{1}{2n} = S$$  which is a contradiction.  Is this valid? Does anyone know of any linux tool specifically designed to treat files as sets and perform set operations on them? Like difference, intersection, etc? "Unable to cast object of type 'System.Byte[]' to type 'System.IConvertible'." error in Photo: why and how do I fix it? Can every non-simple group $G$ be written as a semidirect product? When people want to classify a group with certain (small) order, they seem to find a normal subgroup $H$ and a subgroup $K$, and then consider how many distinct $H \rtimes_\varphi K$ are there.  My question is: For any group $G$, does it always exist normal subgroup $H$, subgroup $K$ and $\phi : K \rightarrow Aut(H)$ s.t. $G\cong H \rtimes_\varphi K $?  Sorry if this question is too basic...  Thanks the comment and the answers. Then if the $G$ is not simple, can we have can $G\cong H\rtimes_\varphi K$ for proper subgroup $H$, $K$, with $H$ normal?  EDIT:  If we have a group $G$, that is not simple (then $G$ has at least one normal subgroup), are there always a non-trivial normal subgroup $H$ and a proper subgroup $K$ s.t. $G \cong H \rtimes K$. (Note that if $G$ is simple this is clearly not possible).  But the quaternion group and $Z_4$ given in answers have shown that we cannot always have it. How did the word "Bollywood" originate? As we know, American film industry is referred as Hollywood. The American film industry is called so because the film industry emerged at the place called (Correct me if I am wrong). The place adopted the name Hollywood which is informally known as Tinseltown.  But my question is not about Hollywood but the . This is widely referred as Bollywood.   From the  page of Bollywood:      Bollywood is the sobriquet for India's Hindi language film industry, based in the city of Mumbai, Maharashtra. It is more formally referred to as Hindi cinema. The term "Bollywood" is often used by non-Indians as a synecdoche to refer to the whole of Indian cinema; however, Bollywood proper is only a part of the larger Indian film industry, which includes other production centres producing films in many other Indian languages. There is no place in India called Bollywood like the Hollywood.    Many people prefer calling it as Hindi film industry and against naming film industries with wood. There are other film industries in India too in other languages. Eg: Telugu film industry is named as Tollywood, Tamil industry is named Kollywood etc.,   is the list of Hollywood inspired nicknames.  My question:   Who is the creator of the word Bollywood? Since when did the word become popular? I would like my sections to start on a new page if they do not fit on the current page. In other words:  if a section fits on the current page print it, if it does not fit start printing it on the next page.  I would like this to be done automatically.  \usepackage{titlesec} seems to be the solution, but I can not get it to do the job.   Should it be done with titlesec? how ? Is there a better approach? What are the most appropriate datum and projection I could use for the Gulf coast region - spanning  Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida? I have to analyze block group data along the coast. Please revisit the CAPTCHA & China issue Back in 2012 when China first blocked all Google services, thereby preventing non-VPN users from proving their non-roboticness, someone quickly opened this thread on Meta:    The consensus at the time was "we can't think of a better way of doing things".  Well, 3 years have passed and China is showing no signs of unbanning Google. Meanwhile, CAPTCHA technology has evolved. Can the SE admins please revisit this situation? People in China without a VPN are completely unable to prove they are not bots. I couldn't even search for the phrase "pgp" on Security.SE without hitting the human verification barrier. Blocking questions is one thing, but searches also? I think that's too strict.  (yes, I wrote this with my VPN) What is the pythonic way to avoid default parameters that are empty lists? Sometimes it seems natural to have a default parameter which is an empty list. Yet . If for example, I have a function: def my_func(working_list=[]):     working_list.append(&quot;a&quot;)     print(working_list)  The first time it is called the default will work, but calls after that will update the existing list (with one &quot;a&quot; each call) and print the updated version. So, what is the pythonic way to get the behavior I desire (a fresh list on each call)? What are the strengths and weaknesses of each follower? Do electrons in an electron beam (cathode ray) follow the ? Or in other words, does the Pauli exclusion principle apply for the beam of electrons? Where is the default folder for Apps? I am relatively new to the linux world. I use OSX at home and Windows at work. In those worlds, there is a default folder for applications (C:\Program Files, /Applications). Is there any such directory in Ubuntu?   I understand that this is not very important and any location in the file system should be ok, but was just wondering whether there are such standard locations (I think there would be one). For instance where is Firefox or Libre Office (that are installed by default)?  Got this question when I was trying to install eclipse. Downloaded the zip, and was wondering... Maximum total distance between points on a sphere What is the configuration (set of locations) of $n$ points on the surface of a sphere such that the sum of distances is maximum for $n=1,2,3,...$?  The sum of distances is measured by summing the lengths of every straight line (through the sphere) connecting every possible combination of $2$ points.  All the points are on a single sphere of radius $R$.  Here's a visualization:   Acknowledgements: Based on  Physics S.E. question. Image from . I know that electric current is the flow of electrons but electrons have a very slow drift speed (about 2mm/s). How is it that electric current reaches its destination at almost the speed of light? I recall from complex analysis a while ago that the series $$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{z^{n!}}{n}$$ has radius of convergence 1, diverges on roots of unity, and converges elsewhere on the circle. It's simple enough to see that it has to diverge on roots of unity: consider $z$ such that $z^k = 1$ for some $k \in \mathbb{N}.$ Plug this into the series and you see that past the $k$'th term, $z^{n!} = (z^k)^m = 1$ for some $m \in \mathbb{N}$; hence, the series becomes harmonic and must diverge.  But I don't recall how to show that the series converges for other values on the circle. If this is simple I'd like just a hint, if it is involved I would prefer a sparse outline of the proof. Thank you! Correcting for multiple kruskal wallis tests How to interpret a QQ plot I am working with a small dataset (21 observations) and have the following normal QQ plot in R:     Seeing that the plot does not support normality, what could I infer about the underlying distribution? It seems to me that a distribution more skewed to the right would be a better fit, is that right? Also, what other conclusions can we draw from the data?
