How to disable automount in nautilus's preferences I've been try to download Xcode for work, but for some reason the Mac App Store is giving me a bit of trouble. Activity monitor shows some network usage, but in Launchpad it seems the download isn't moving.   When I go to the purchases panel of the Mac App Store, I see this.     No status, no pause button, in fact - the button has no text on it! I've tried restarting the App Store, restarting my computer, even removing the com.apple.appstore folder in /var/folders but alas, no luck.  Can anyone diagnose the issue? When I removed com.apple.appstore, Xcode still showed up on Launchpad, and clicking on it did nothing - it was frozen in time. So can I kill off this partial download and start new? There are a few "automatically protect questions" requests out there, but I'd like to add another twist.  I'd like to request that questions that have three or more deleted answers by users with &lt;50 rep be automatically protected.  The reasoning behind this is that we have lots and lots of "not an answer" flags in the mod queue.  But we cannot protect a question from the mod queue, so we have to open each answer, evaluate if the question needs protecting, then protect it.    This process takes a long time, and can definitely be automated, as the only thing you really need to check is how many new users are posting non-answers or are spamming their awful products. JSP in /WEB-INF returns "HTTP Status 404 The requested resource is not available" Show path of a body of where it should go after linear impulse is applied I am making a game with Andengine and Box2D. I have a dynamic body and I apply linear impulse on the body to move it around when the user have touched the screen.  Now I want to show the path where the body will go when the user have touched. If you have played Angry Birds or Basket Ball Shoot or any other which have projectile motion with a path shown you will get my point. I want to show the white dots which are shown in those games. What is an observer in quantum mechanics? My question is not about (pseudo) philosophical debate; it concerns mathematical operations and experimental facts.  What is an observer? What are the conditions required to be qualified of observer, both mathematically and experimentally? Why so many files in /usr/share/app-install/desktop? For 14.04, I'm trying out Lubuntu LTS.  If I run ls -l /usr/share/app-install/desktop, I get a list of 3085 .desktop files. All except one are dated Apr 18. The exception is:  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  6328 Mar 28  2013 applications.menu   From the dates, it's clear that all these are installed by default and not by me.   Doesn't each GUI-based program bring in its own .desktop file at the time it's installed (mostly in /usr/share/applications)? Then why are these thousands of other .desktop files needed? From their names, most of them haven't anything to do with Lubuntu. Their names are different from regular .desktop files (such as those in /usr/share/applications): many, not all, are like name:name.desktop whereas the regular ones are just name.desktop. The ones I looked at all have a line with X-AppInstall-Popcon=nnn where nnn is a string of digits. I know that Popcon "gathers statistics determining which packages are the most popular with Ubuntu users". But why is that part of these .desktop files? If I have a shapefile or geodatabase featureclass that has fields that I want to permanently reorder, is there a tool, script, or utility that will help me quickly accomplish this task? Generally I know you have to create a new field, then populate it with the old values, then delete the old field.  I am hoping there is something already created out there that will help with this. Assuming you don't have FME or another ETL tool available, what is the next best suggestion? This is NOT a view level change (ie- drag/drop the fields in order), but rather write out to a new shapefile or featureclass. Dynamically Create a generic type for template I'm programming WCF using the ChannelFactory which expects a type in order to call the CreateChannel method. For example:   IProxy proxy = ChannelFactory&lt;IProxy&gt;.CreateChannel(...);   In my case I'm doing routing so I don't know what type my channel factory will be using. I can parse a message header to determine the type but I hit a brick wall there because even if I have an instance of Type I can't pass that where ChannelFactory expects a generic type.   Another way of restating this problem in very simple terms would be that I'm attempting to do something like this:  string listtype = Console.ReadLine(); // say "System.Int32" Type t = Type.GetType( listtype); List&lt;t&gt; myIntegers = new List&lt;&gt;(); // does not compile, expects a "type" List&lt;typeof(t)&gt; myIntegers = new List&lt;typeof(t)&gt;(); // interesting - type must resolve at compile time?   Is there an approach to this I can leverage within C#? How to remove edit from edit queue? I asked a question on SO:  and got an answer that, while good, I thought could be improved with a minor edit:   After a little while, a comment on the answer showed me that I was wrong to have edited the answer.  How do I undo it? Let me edit a post in the close review, then vote to close it I think we need a button that says Edit and Close added to the Review Close button options.  Many of these closed posts will be around forever (and should be, closed should not just be a path to deletion), so they need editing.  If I edit it now it goes away, with the only option being a back click to get back to the review, and then click into the post and edit it.  We have an Edit and Reopen button, so this would fit in just fine. In addition to showing reputation scores, SO should rank users. In the users section, users are ordered by the reputations they have.  Each user should also have a unique rank, since many users can have the same reputation score.  Rank must follow the order laid out by reputation, but for those having similar reputation, an additional formula should be defined which can rank users based on tags, time since registration, frequency of activity and/or helpfulness of their answers.  What are your thoughts on this? Unknown Column In Where Clause I have a simple query:  SELECT u_name AS user_name FROM users WHERE user_name = "john";   I get Unknown Column 'user_name' in where clause.  Can I not refer to 'user_name' in other parts of the statement even after select 'u_name as user_name'? Why Faddeev-Popov ghost cannot exist in external line? Has anyone successfully embedded their  on a WordPress.com-hosted blog?  The free hosted version of  (not )  from all posts before publishing. So they to strip out just about anything I can add to embed my Stack Overflow flair.  Note: I'll be switching to a paid, hosted site in the future (fixing the problem), but I'm looking for a quick, short-term solution. What are the pros and cons of the leading Java HTML parsers? I just came across this code and a few Google searches turn up no explanation of this mysterious (to me) syntax.  Hashtable^ tempHash = gcnew Hashtable(iterators_);  IDictionaryEnumerator^ enumerator = tempHash-&gt;GetEnumerator();   What the heck does the caret mean? (The gcnew is also new to me, and I asked about that .) Minimum value of $ f(x,y,z)=\left(x+\frac{1}{y}\right)^2+\left(y+\frac{1}{z}\right)^2+\left(z+\frac{1}{x}\right)^2. $ If $x&gt;0$, $y&gt;0$, $z&gt;0$ and $x+y+z=6$ then find the minimum value of    $$ f(x,y,z)=\left(x+\frac{1}{y}\right)^2+\left(y+\frac{1}{z}\right)^2+\left(z+\frac{1}{x}\right)^2. $$   Thanks in advance. It would be similar to trying to be extremely careful or precise.   In French it would be "application", For example: "Qui est fait avec application".   Example usage:      John worked with ________. or ...it was done with _______. Is there any simple method to calculate $\sqrt x$ without using logarithm Suppose that we don't know logarithm, then how we would able to calculate $\sqrt x$, where $x$ is a real number? More generally, is there any algorithm to calculate $\sqrt [ n ]{ x } $ without using logarithm? More simple techniques would be nice.  Here is a simple technique used to approximate square roots by :  For example: $\sqrt {78}\approx 8\frac { 14 }{ 17 } $ , where $8$ is the nearest integer root of $78$, $14 = 78 - 8^2$, $17 = 2 \times 8 + 1$.  if $n=2^k$ we can use the method above.   For example, for $k=2$ Lets calculate $\sqrt [ 4 ]{ 136 } $: $$\sqrt [ 4 ]{ 136 } =\sqrt { \sqrt { 136 }  } \approx \sqrt { 11\frac { 136-{ 11 }^{ 2 } }{ 11\times 2+1 }  } =\sqrt { 11\frac { 15 }{ 23 }  } \\ \sqrt { 11\frac { 15 }{ 23 }  } \approx 3\frac { 11\frac { 15 }{ 23 } -{ 3 }^{ 2 } }{ 3\times 2+1 } =\frac { 544 }{ 161 } =3.38\\$$ The exact result is$$ \sqrt [ 4 ]{ 136 } =3.4149\cdots$$ The method approximates well, but it is working for only $n=2^k$ as I know.
