How to remove spikes from switching transistor?
I remember reading this book back in late 90's. It is about a slave that gathers some friends and goes into a desert to find/fight a dragon. There is also a revolt/uprising in the slaves' home town. I can't remember if this is a single book or a trilogy.  I think the rulers were called Sorcerer-lords or Sorcerer-Kings. And I remember one character was called Boris or Borys. Who is the eponymous Jedi in Return of the Jedi? How to change password complexity requirements in Ubuntu 14.04LTS What is the rule for omitting/including the definite article in the following sentences:     I used to play piano.   I used to play the piano.   I would pick the first sentence, but I've heard people say the second sentence even when they are not referring to a specific piano. Which one is correct? How can I install Celestia on Ubuntu 18.04.1? I've stumbled upon a strange behaviour with Windows machines, which seems to be fairly consistent between all Windows versions from Vista/2008 to 8.1/2012 R2; it doesn't happen instead when using Windows XP or Windows Server 2003.  The problem is this: when the network adapter is configured for DHCP and the DHCP server doesn't register DNS records on behalf of its clients (because it can't, or because it's not configured to do so), then the forward A record gets registered, but the reverse PTR record doesn't.  Some more details:   Both the forward and the reverse DNS zones are AD-integrated and accept dynamic updates. All computers are joined to the domain. All computers use the correct internal DNS servers, both when configured statically and when getting their configuration from DHCP. "Register this connection's addresses in DNS" is enabled in the network adapters. Everything is fine when a computer has a static IP address; both the forward and the reverse records get automatically registered. When the same computer is configured for DHCP, the forward record is registered, but the reverse record isn't. This happens for all computers with an OS version >= 6.0, and it's definitely not related to a single machine. No amount of ipconfig /registerdns will change anything. No errors are logged anywhere.   Why does this happen, and how can it be fixed?  And no, configuring the DHCP server to perform DNS registration is not an option here. I'm a student and I'm working on a low power communication project. I am trying to design a PCB using the . There is a MC-306 (32.768kHz, 12.5pf, and 20/50ppm).   I don't know what the 20/50ppm rating is. For me, the size is very important, so I decided to replace it with the , but its ppm is -20/+20. Will it cause a problem if I use this one instead?  What is the ppm rating in the crystal oscillator? Always wanting more , of anything, never has enough,never contented with what they have What are logic gates? So from what I understand transistors are one of the most important electronic elements for computers because of TTL (Transistors-Transistors Logic).  Is this true? If so, how exactly does this work? I have heard the terms "logic gate" and "logic block" tossed around. I posted a question which was closed as off-topic and it seems like it could fit on another site in the network. How can I go about moving it there?   What is migration? When can a question be migrated, and who can migrate it? When should I consider migration, and when is it inappropriate? What causes a migration to be blocked and what happens after? What causes a migration to be rejected and what happens after? Anything else I should know about migration?

Ubuntu 15.10 is not in Boot Manager I have a problem with Ubuntu 15.10  I have in my computer windows 10. Some days ago i decided to install Ubuntu in partition so i can have both in the same hard drive. The problem is that i cant get into ubuntu, i dont have the grub up so i always go to Windows in default mode. The only way to go into ubuntu is with the CD of installation, when im on the grub of the cd i press Esc, then i text exit in command lines and i go to a boot manager in which i can choose the ubuntu system. Its a strange think because it is the only way i can get into ubuntu, i will like to solve this problem. I try many tutorials already of solving this problem. I didnt get any solution so i will like to ask u before doing another tutorial. Thank u What is the proper way to explain the twin paradox? Inverse of sum of exponential random variables (mean and variance) Uniform continuity of $f(x) = x \sin{\frac{1}{x}}$ for $x \neq 0$ and $f(0) = 0.$ For the $f(x) = x \sin{\frac{1}{x}}$ for $x \neq 0$ and $f(0) = 0,$ my text book asks the following questions.  (b) Why is $f$ uniformly continuous on any bounded subset of $\mathbb{R}$?   (c) Is $f$ uniformly continuous on $\mathbb{R}$??  The graph for the function is this.    For the question (b), if I take subset between $[0.2,0.6]$ or the subset where the slope is steep, I don't think the function is uniformly continuous because I think for a given $\epsilon&gt;0$, there is no unique $\delta &gt;0$ for the bounded subset. Therefore, it also cannot be uniformly continuous on $\mathbb{R}.$ However, the questions sounds like the function is uniformly continuous and the book says that it is uniformly continuous. The answer on the book says something but I need more explanation. Thanks. Low-res texture blurry I unwrapped a simple plane and applied the following 80x80 pixel picture:    Yes, it's quite small. The problem is, the result is all blurry, like so:    How do I make it accurate to the pixel? How to disable grub menu at boot time in Ubuntu 20.04? I have installed Ubuntu 20.04 alongside Windows. When I boot the system, it shows the grub menu for 10 seconds to choose between Ubuntu and Windows. I don't want that menu, just want to boot it up right after pressing the power button. I have looked into  thread and added GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true  and even changed GRUB_TIMEOUT to 0 and then ran sudo update-grub. But it didn't work, menu is still being shown at boot time. This is my /etc/default/grub file-   # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update # /boot/grub/grub.cfg. # For full documentation of the options in this file, see: #   info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'  GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2&gt; /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""  # Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs # This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains # the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...) #GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"  # Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only) #GRUB_TERMINAL=console  # The resolution used on graphical terminal # note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE # you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo' #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480  # Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true  # Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries #GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"  # Uncomment to get a beep at grub start #GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"   How do I disable it? I once saw watch a sci-fi movie or an episode of a tv series (not sure) in which:   Every police officer was a judge, and hence could act by themselves on the streets. Each "judge" had a gun, which appended their DNA to the bullet. This was used later in investigations about a crime scene, and I think was confidential before the trial was held. Only a judge could use the gun, try to use it and you've been electrified. Also the guns had a self-destruction feature. The main villain was an ex-judge who purchased and activated a very old "killer robot" which was a residue of a long-ended war. When a judge was exiled, they were given a copy of the book of law, and sent outside the city to enlighten the people outside cities.   Can you help me find it?  PS: It was difficult to select a title Story where vampires are created by drop absorbed on neck? I have been trying to identify a book that I read maybe 25-30 years ago (1987-1992), in which there are vampire or vampire-like creatures, but instead of being created in the traditional way (e.g. bite on the neck), something drops a drop of a fluid on the back of their neck, which is then absorbed into the body and transforms them. I have a vague notion that some sort of tree is what creates these drops. The drops may have had a shiny metallic appearance.  I've tried to find this book before and always came up short. I'm starting to think the whole thing was a dream and I never read it at all. But I really feel like it was a book or at least a short story.
