Boot Error - ACPI PCC Probe Failed ACPI PCC Probe Failed is the error that pops up instead of the default GRUB loader after I updated my kernel to 3.19.  I searched around and couldn't find much information except that it is a known error and it is registered in kernel.org's launchpad . My question is, is anyone else facing it?, what are the impacts of this? And if only an update in the future can fix it, any suggestions or safety tips till then? I have only seen infinite vector spaces and the one finite vector space i.e the trivial vector space $\{0\}$. Is there any other finite vector space? Intuitive explanation for density of transformed variable? Suppose $X$ is a random variable with pdf $f_X(x)$. Then the random variable $Y=X^2$ has the pdf   $$f_Y(y)=\begin{cases}\frac{1}{2\sqrt{y}}\left(f_X(\sqrt{y})+f_X(-\sqrt{y})\right) &amp; y \ge 0 \\ 0 &amp; y \lt 0\end{cases}$$   I understand the calculus behind this. But I'm trying to think of a way to explain it to someone who doesn't know calculus. In particular, I'm trying to explain why the factor $\frac{1}{\sqrt{y}}$ appears out front. I'll take a stab at it:  Suppose $X$ has a Gaussian distribution. Almost all the weight of its pdf is between the values, say, $-3$ and $3.$ But that maps to 0 to 9 for $Y$. So, the heavy weight in the pdf for $X$ has been extended across a wider range of values in the transformation to $Y$. Thus, for $f_Y(y)$ to be a true pdf the extra heavy weight must be downweighted by the multiplicative factor $\frac{1}{\sqrt{y}}$  How does that sound?  If anyone can provide a better explanation of their own or link to one in a document or textbook I'd greatly appreciate it. I find this variable transformation example in several intro mathematical probability/stats books. But I never find an intuitive explanation with it :( pain of browser back button Consider the general linear regression model: $$y_i = \beta_0 + \beta_1x_{i1} + \beta_2x_{i2} + \cdots + \beta_px_{ip} + \epsilon_i = \mathbf{x}_i^t \beta + \epsilon_i$$  where $\textbf{x}_i = (1,x_{i1},x_{i2},\cdots,x_{ip})^T$, $\beta=(\beta_0,\beta_1,\cdots,\beta_p)^T$ and $\epsilon_i$ are iid N(0,$\sigma^2$).  I would like to see a complete proof of the following identity from first principles: $$\sum_{i=1}^n(y_i - \bar{y})^2 = \sum_{i=1}^n(\hat{y}_i - \bar{y})^2 + \sum_{i=1}^n(y_i - \hat{y}_i)^2$$ where $\hat{y}_i= \mathbf{x}_i^t \hat{\beta} $ ($\hat{\beta}$ is the least square estimator, $\bar{y}$ ia the sample mean of $y_i$).  I know that the two terms on the right can be obtained by subtracting and adding $\hat{y}_i$ on the left side. But this introduces a "cross term": $$\sum_{i=1}^n2(\hat{y}_i - \bar{y})(y_i - \hat{y}_i)$$  Many texts claim that this is zero, but I have not seen a general proof of this statement. How can this be shown? Can anyone please help and tell me if this sentence is correct?  &quot;A significant amount of zombies were detected in your city.&quot;  In my opinion it should be &quot;A significant amount of zombies was detected in your city.&quot; because &quot;amount&quot; should be in agreement with &quot;was&quot; even though amount usually refers to something plural. Are both (was and were) acceptable in this case? Edit1: Yes, &quot;number&quot; would be the correct one in this case. So allow me to ask one more thing.  &quot;A significant amount of purchases were detected...&quot;  Does the use of &quot;number&quot; apply in this case also? As purchase is not exactly a thing/person. And if no, is it correct to say &quot;A significant amount of purchases were detected...&quot;? Edit2: So, please tell me what is the correct phrasing?  &quot;A significant amount of purchases were detected...&quot; &quot;A significant amount of purchases was detected...&quot;  Or, since purchases are countable, is the use of &quot;number&quot; instead of &quot;amount&quot; correct here, as in:  &quot;A significant number of purchases were detected...&quot; &quot;A significant number of purchases was detected...&quot;  Or would amount be correct since a purchase involves money and it refers to the amount of money? Would greatly appreciate an answer, and if possible a detailed explanation. LM393 voltage comparator is not working In which countries are the visitor's first name and last name compulsory? My name consists of just a first name and no surname.  Will there be a problem regarding my name in the country I visit with a tourist or employment visa? Are there countries in the world where this might be a problem? In the US, it is common to use the idiomatic expression "knock on wood" to keep "a good thing going."  Is it the same in the UK, or do they use a different idiomatic expression? I have no idea how to do this. Any help would be appreciated. The chapter I'm on is about differentiation and the mean value theorem.  Prove $a^\alpha b^{1-\alpha} \le \alpha a + (1 - \alpha)b, \; a,b &gt; 0,\; 0 &lt; \alpha &lt; 1$ I have been asked by a client to implement some views for reporting purposes, the views will be accessed via PowerBI, Excel and SSRS. The designated user will only have access to the view and no underlying tables must be available to the user.  The problem I have encountered in that the SQL within the view touches 3 different schemas (All within the same database):   Pupil Provider  Security   The view is:  CREATE VIEW dbo.vTestPermissions AS SELECT a.Column1,        b.Column1,        c.Column1 FROM Pupil.Table1 a JOIN Provider.Table2 b ON a.Column1 = b.Column1 JOIN Security.Table3 c ON a.Column1 = c.Column1   The owners of the Tables/View are as follows:   Pupil.Table1 - Owner Pupil Provider.Table2 - Owner Provider Security.Table3 - Owner Security vTestPermissions - Owner dbo   When I select from the view I get an error:     The SELECT permission was denied on the object 'table3', database   'TEST', schema 'Security'   I have tried giving SELECT permission with and without the GRANT option to the schema, and the tables, but that makes the underlying tables available to the user.  Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. How do we know an $ \aleph_1 $ exists at all? I have two questions, actually. The first is as the title says: how do we know there exists an infinite cardinal such that there exists no other cardinals between it and $ \aleph_0 $? (We would have to assume or derive the existence of such an object before we label it something like $ \aleph_1 $.)  My second question is, can we say for certain if there's any limit to the number of cardinals existing between $ \aleph_0 $ and continuum (i.e. $ 2^{\aleph_0} $)? I mean, how could we know that there&#39;s not an infinite number of cardinals between the two - perhaps even more than $ \aleph_0 $? I am writing a client-side Swing application (graphical font designer) on Java 5. Recently, I am running into java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space error because I am not being conservative on memory usage. The user can open unlimited number of files, and the program keeps the opened objects in the memory. After a quick research I found  and others saying on Windows machine the JVM defaults max heap size as 64MB.  Given this situation, how should I deal with this constraint?  I could increase the max heap size using command line option to java, but that would require figuring out available RAM and writing some launching program or script. Besides, increasing to some finite max does not ultimately get rid of the issue.  I could rewrite some of my code to persist objects to file system frequently (using database is the same thing) to free up the memory. It could work, but it's probably a lot work too.  If you could point me to details of above ideas or some alternatives like automatic virtual memory, extending heap size dynamically, that will be great. Having problems with listings and UTF-8.

The usual approach to teaching this is to go "well kids, you can't add apples and oranges!" and then assume that the student will just find it obvious that you can't add meters and seconds.  I'm sorry, but... I don't. I'm not convinced. $5$ meters plus $10$ seconds is $15$! Screw your rules! What are the units? I don't know, I actually don't understand what that question means.  I'm specifically not convinced when this sort of thing is used to prove that certain formulae can't possibly be right. Maybe the speed of a comet is given by its period multiplied by its mass. Why not? It's a perfectly meaningful operation - just measure the quantities, multiply them, and I claim that the number you get will always equal the current speed of the comet. I don't see how "but it doesn't make sense to say mass times time is equal to distance divided by time" can be a valid counterargument, particularly because I don't really know what "mass times time" is, but that's a different issue.  If it's relevant, I'm a math student and know extremely little about physics.
