How to download all files from Ubuntu One? I just installed Ubuntu 14.04, and Ubuntu One isn't installed by default and their download page says it comes pre installed, which doesn't help with anything.  I wanna move all my files from Ubuntu One to Dropbox, but downloading one file at a time from the browser and upload it again to dropbox will take way too long.  Is there any way to get Ubuntu One on Ubuntu 14.04? or somehow download all files from the Ubuntu One website?  I see they updated their site: What's the most efficient way to select the last n rows in a table without changing the table's structure? What's the most efficient way to select the last n number of rows in a table using mySQL? The table contains millions of rows, and at any given time I don't know how large the table is (it is constantly growing). The table does have a column that is automatically incremented and used as a unique identifier for each row. What is the square root of $i^4$? What is the $\sqrt{i^4}$?   $i^4$ = $(i^2)^2$ So is $\sqrt{i^4}$ = $\sqrt{(i^2)^2}$ = $i^2$ = $-1$?  Or is $\sqrt{i^4}$ = $\sqrt{1}$ = $1$?  When I plug it into my TI-89 Titanium, I get $1$.  Edit: I now see why $i^4 \neq -1$. $$\sqrt{x^2} = \left|{x}\right| $$ So$$\sqrt{(i^2)^2} = \left|i^2\right| = \left|-1\right| = 1$$ Vertex of a pentagon-Does the algorithm always stop? To each vertex of a pentagon,we assign an integer $x_{i}$ with sum $s=\sum x_{i}&gt;0$. If x,y,z are the numbers assigned to 3 successive vertices and if $y&lt;0$,then we replace $(x,y,z)$ by $(x+y,-y,y+z)$.This step is repeated as long as there is a y&lt;0.Decide if the algorithm always stops. Why I think tension should be twice the force in a tug of war I'm going to provide my argument for why I think the tension in a rope should be twice the force exerted on either side of it.  First, let's consider a different example. Say, there is a person named A and a block in space. A pushes on the block with a force of 100 N. Then, the block will also push A with a force of 100 N by Newton's third law. Now, consider the case where instead of the block, there is a person B who is also pushing on A with a force of 100 N while A is pushing on him. A will experience a force of 100 N because he pushed on B, AND another 100 N because he is being pushed by B. Hence he will experience a force of 200 N. Similarly, B also experiences 200 N of force.  Now, back to the original problem. There are two people A and B in space with a taut rope (no tension currently) in between them. If only A is pulling and B is not, then I agree that the tension is equal to the force A exerts. This situation (in my opinion) becomes analogous to the above if B is also pulling. So, say both of them pull from either side with a force of 100 N. Then the rope at the end of B will pull B with a force of 100 N (this pull is caused by A). By Newton's third law, the rope will experience a pull of 100 N. But B is also pulling his end of the rope with 100 N. Therefore, the tension should be 200 N. Similarly, the end of the rope at A must pull A with 100 N of force (because B is pulling from the other side) and hence experience a force of 100 N itself by Newton's third law plus another 100 N because A is pulling on the rope.  Apparently, the answer is not this (according to my searching on the web). So, could anyone tell me why this reasoning is wrong? Thanks.  EDIT : So apparently people don't agree with my first example, leave alone the second. This is to the downvoters and the upvoters of the highest-rated answer: You all agree that if only A pushes B with a force of 100 N, then A and B both will get pushed by a force of 100 N in opposite directions, right? Then, in the case where B is also pushing with a force of 100 N, it doesn't make sense that the answer would be exactly the same. It doesn't seem right that no matter what B does, B and A will always experience the same force as they would have if B hadn't applied any force.  EDIT 2 : I'm going to provide here a link to a question that I posted:  According to the answer and the comments there, the reason as to why my first example is incorrect is different to the one provided here. So maybe you should all read the answer and the comments provided by the person and reconsider what you think. What are the differences between a bridge camera and a DSLR? What  are the differences between a bridge camera and a DSLR? What are the origins of the word "nice"? What's your preferred way of getting current system status (current CPU, RAM, free disk space, etc.) in Python? Bonus points for *nix and Windows platforms.  There seems to be a few possible ways of extracting that from my search:   Using a library such as  (that currently seems not actively developed and not supported on multiple platform) or something like  (again no activity since 2007 it seems and no support for Windows). Using platform specific code such as using a os.popen("ps") or similar for the *nix systems and MEMORYSTATUS in ctypes.windll.kernel32 (see ) for the Windows platform. One could put a Python class together with all those code snippets.   It's not that those methods are bad but is there already a well-supported, multi-platform way of doing the same thing? I am trying to work through Hartshorne's book and while working through one of the exercises, I need to show the following:  Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field. Let $Y \subseteq A^3$ be the set $Y=\{(t,t^2,t^3)\;|\;t \in k\}$. Show that $Y$ is an affine variety.  The rest of the problem I have completed. I'm just not sure how to show that this set is closed and irreducible. I assume that they intend for $A^3$ to have the Zariski topology. SSH and home directory permissions It took me hours to solve this SSH problem with one of my class accounts on my school's servers.    I couldn't ssh into one particular class account without entering my password, while passwordless authentication worked with my other class accounts. The .ssh/ directory and all of its contents had the same, correct permissions as the other class accounts.   Turns out the problem was the permissions set on my own home directory. Passwordless authentication did not work when the permissions on my HOME directory were set to 770 (regardless of the permissions set for .ssh/), but it worked with permissions set to 755 or 700.   Anyone know why SSH does this? Is it because the home directory permissions are too permissive? Why does SSH refuse to authenticate with the public/private keys when the home directory is set more permissive than 700? How does the coin limit work? Need for using the article "the" before "United States of America"? Usually, we do not use the definite article, the, before names of countries but we use the before "United States of America".   Is there a specific reason for using the article before the country "United States of America"? Community isn't on ~15 sites! Ubuntu 12.04 boots to TTY1 Alrighty, I have perused the threads already in existence and am finding none of them seem to have the exact combination of variables I've got going.

I will be participating in IELTS test next Tuesday afternoon.  In an online class, the teacher says the following at the beginning of the lesson.  I will be using NotePod (pointed out by red rectangle) to write relevant points we talk about today.   I guess &quot;will be using&quot; is more appropriate than &quot;will use&quot; there, right?

How do I detect unsigned integer multiply overflow? I have been thinking of getting a flash to improve my low light photography (particularly indoors). However, there seem to be a number of different models available at similar price points (budget of INR 8,000-12,000 ~$150-250). What features and functionality should I look for to choose a suitable flash?  I'm using a Canon 550D with the 18-55mm IS &amp; 55-250mm IS lenses. Metz seems to be one of the brands easily available in India (beside the OEM flashes). Currently, I am considering the Metz 36 AF-5, 44 AF-1 and 50 AF-1, which seem to be considerably cheaper than their Canon counterparts. How do I get attention for old, unfixed bug reports and feature requests without official responses here on Meta? I posted a question here on Meta Stack Exchange, or on a per-site meta, regarding a bug I found in the system. I got no comments, or a few comments stating that this is a legitimate bug (and not by design). However, it's been quite a long time, and no official response was ever posted there.  Or, I had an idea for a new feature, but realized it's already requested, either by searching or posting a request myself only to have it closed as a duplicate of the existing one. It's been a while since the original request was filed, but no official response has been made.   I'm aware that staff members are , but either my post isn't about one of the indicated topic areas for which they're accepting escalation requests for that month, or I already flagged to request escalation but it was declined, so the instructions there don't apply for my post.  What can I do to draw attention to meta questions for the SE team, so they can give an official response, and possibly implement the bug fix or feature?  Note: This is different from other general questions which ask for how to get attention for unanswered questions, since the procedures on meta sites are different, and getting an official response isn't necessarily the same as getting a good answer.
