How to update kernel version without upgrading kernel?

Permission denied, are you root? I get this error whenever I try to install programs using the terminal:  home@ubuntu:~$ apt-get install myunity E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?   Also I'm unable to install updates using the terminal. Is clockwise or counter-clockwise rotated text easier to read? When rotating text with css, should it be rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise?  Is one more readable than the other?  Counter Clockwise:   &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Clockwise: My host is x64 bits Windows 8.1.  I downloaded the latest Virtual Box (4.3) and I'm trying to create a VM with a 64 bits Ubuntu OS (ubuntu-12.04.3-desktop-amd64).  When I go to New VM wizard, it doesn't give me option to select "Ubuntu (x64)" as I have seen in other people's screenshots, only just "Ubuntu". As a result, the ISO can't boot. I tried in another PC and Virtual Box gives the x64 variants to most listed OS...  Control Panel shows x64 OS, x64 processor. My host laptop is a Sony Vaio VPCZ22UGX/N, Intel® Core™ i7-2640M processor. CPUz shows Vx-t is available on my processor, of course.  Here is what I tried so far:   I enabled IO APIC as required in the docs. I have virtualization enabled in the BIOS. It works fine in VMware. Check that Hyper-V is not running or even installed on my Windows. Same for VMware. I also tried running the command:  VBoxManage modifyvm [vmname] --longmode on    for that VM, but no change.. I think the issue is really that I can't select x64 variant of the Ubuntu OS for that VM. Other people seem to indicate that's a requirement, but I don't get that option for some reason.  I spent a lot of time and can't find what's wrong... Anyone knows what could be missing here?  Thank you very much!!  Eduardo Frequency encoding is a widely used technique in Kaggle competitions, and many times proves to be a very reasonable way of dealing with categorical features with high cardinality. I really don't understand why it works.   Does it work in very specific cases where frequencies are correlated with the target or is it more general? What's the rationale behind it? Why can't I connect to Ubuntu One? I have purchase new laptop from Dell with ubuntu 12.04 preinstalled. while connecting to Ubuntu One following occurs and I am not able to sync with Ubuntu One.

Is it possible to detect these spheres?  What happens if I fall through it? What happens to a photon that tangentially hits the event horizon, wouldn't this also lead to a photon orbiting the black hole? EDIT Since neutron stars also might have a , do we know neutron stars that should have such a sphere? Why is there no analog for $\Theta_\text{QCD}$ for the weak interaction? Is this topological term generated? If not, why not? Is this related to the fact that $SU(2)_L$ is broken? Does causation imply correlation? Correlation does not imply causation, as there could be many explanations for the correlation. But does causation imply correlation? Intuitively, I would think that the presence of causation means there is necessarily some correlation. But my intuition has not always served me well in statistics. Does causation imply correlation? Why do German umlauts and sharp s (ß) work without a package in LaTeX? I am used to the fact that LaTeX will only know letters like ä, ö, ü, or ß if I use packages like  \usepackage{ucs} \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}   Today, I tried LaTeX on a Mac for the first time, using the MacTeX distribution and texmaker. Without writing down any packages, all umlauts and ß were accepted correctly from scratch. Why is that and will the usage of special letters without using the packages cause any problems? Need linebreaks in some columns of a wide table I am trying to create linebreaks in some of the cells of my table, since I have long sentences and the table doesn't fit on an A4 page. How to let LaTeX choose the linebreaks?

How to set systemd for automatically force fsck disks after crash (hard poweroff)?  When I used sysvinit (in Arch Linux) as /sbin/init I used the hack: in the rc.local I create /forcefsck file; in the rc.local.shutdown I remove it. At boot-up rc.sysinit enable force fsck if /forcefsck exists.  How to do same in systemd? Maybe it has built-in facilities for automatic fsck after crush? Start TOC from chapter 1 and also page numbering If cooking meat kills bacteria, and bacteria are responsible for problems with eating meat which has been left out, then why is it dangerous to eat meat which has been left out at room temperature and then thoroughly cooked?   mentions that "Even if the bacteria is dead, toxins can remain if the food was out too long, causing problems".  However, there's no further detail given.  Are these toxins as dangerous as the bacteria themselves?  How long does meat have to be left out to accumulate a dangerous level of toxins and thus be dangerous even if thoroughly cooked?  Are these toxins the reason for the usual guideline of keeping meat unrefrigerated for a maximum of 2 hours?  update  The revelation, courtesy of Aaronut, that e. coli is actually dangerous because of its toxins — which cannot be denatured at temperatures which will leave meat in an edible state — has pretty much answered this question.  And also given me further incentive to stop eating meat altogether :)  Our discussion (see the comments on hobodave's answer) has progressed into the realm of microbiology.  Some highlights from my ongoing research:  .  These seem to be the reason for the importance of keeping meat at a high temperature for a period of time.  .  This also provides fascinating insight into how bacteria evolved immunity to antibiotics.  Fungi. Proving $(\forall a\in\mathbb{Z^+})(m\in\mathbb{Z^+}\to a^m\equiv a^{m-\phi(m)}\pmod{m})$ Problem: $(\forall a\in\mathbb{Z^+})(m\in\mathbb{Z^+}\to a^m\equiv a^{m-\phi(m)}\pmod{m})$  My work: Start by letting $m=p_1^{a_1}p_2^{a_2}\cdots p_r^{a_r}$. If $(a,p_i)=1$ for some integer $i$, then we have that  $$ a^{\phi(p_i^{a_i})}\equiv 1\pmod{p_i^{a_i}} $$ by Euler's theorem. Since $\phi(p_i^{a_i}) \mid \phi(m)$, we have that $p_i^{a_i}\mid (a^{\phi(m)}-1)$ if $(a,p_i)=1$.   Beyond this, I am stuck at the moment. How to align prices in columns when both 2 digit and 4 digit variations of a price exist? How can I play around targeted discard? Many decks in competitive Magic have access to targeted discard spells, like  and .  Against counterspells, you can rely on a variety of tricks like baiting counters, bottlenecking your opponent's mana, and good old-fashioned counter wars. Targeted discard cards allow your opponent to attack your hand on the very first turn of the game, and go right for your key cards &mdash; and it can often be backbreaking when your opponent takes away a crucial card like a combo piece or a sweeper.  What tricks and tactics can you employ, either during deck-building or in play, to play around an opponent's targeted discard?  (I know that one of the answers is going to be . That's excellent, but please also include approaches that work in formats without free countermagic.) Should the number "0" be pronounced "zero" or "oh"? How to open and convert CHM documents? I have some documents that are in a .chm format. I wondered if there is a file format that can be easier to navigate, supported and of equal file size in Ubuntu?  If there is, I would like to start converting all those books and probably using them with less hassle on all my Ubuntu PCs and my Android phone. How should I detect unnecessary #include files in a large C++ project?
