I am running Windows XP and have a phone mounted through USB by MTP.  In Explorer, its address is:  My Computer\SAMSUNG-SGH-I547\Phone\DCIM   I would like to execute a command line command such as  explorer "My Computer\SAMSUNG-SGH-I547\Phone\DCIM\Camera"   so as to quickly go to the Camera folder. (Right-clicking the device or anything in it does NOT provide a "Create Shortcut" dialog.)  But "My Computer" is not a valid PATH in Windows. Unlike USB flash drives, it seems the phone mounted by MTP does not get a letter drive name.  So, what is the path of an MTP device in Windows?  If the answer is there is no command line path, is there workaround? I added this to /etc/crontab on a few different linux &amp; freebsd systems:  # monthly reboot: 3rd Tuesday of every month 56 07 15-21 * 2 root /sbin/shutdown -r now   I want a reboot on the 3rd TUESDAY of every month.  However, all the systems rebooted on the 3rd Wednesday of this month (the 19th).  What am I doing wrong?  Update: Thanks to Ranon's answer below, looks like the below revision will work, can anyone confirm or is there an even better way of doing it?  # monthly reboot: 3rd Tuesday of every month 56 07 15-21 * * root test $(date +\%u) -eq 2 &amp;&amp; /sbin/shutdown -r now Accessing private member variables from prototype-defined functions Finding the derivative of $x\uparrow\uparrow n$ I am trying to find a general derivative for the function: $f(x)=x^{x^{x^{...^{x}}}}$however to do that I must find $f^{\prime }$ and $f^{\prime \prime}$...etc. I am now trying to write down a general expression for $f^{\prime \prime}$ and I have stumble opon the series in the picture below, I wonder, do anyone have an idea of what sort of expantion it migth be ? I have tried breaking it down into three different sums, but I wasn't very successful!  EDIT  So since this post has gotten some attention and the title has been change I will tell you what I am on about, although I already have a post just for the question in the title from before. I am as I said earlier trying to find a general derivative for the function $f(x)=x^{x^{x^{...^{x}}}}$ where $n$ is an arbitrary number, natural number and greater or equal to 2. I have already made success when I tried to find the first derivative, and I have also found some interesting pattern emerge when the derivatives as well as n incresses. But my question here was if anyone knew what this expation might be or look similar to be, since I have yet to be lernt series etc. I did not know that the question needed such background since it's straight a forward question. Some document elements (e.g., figures in the book class) are numbered per chapter (figure 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, ...). How can I achieve continuous numbering (figure 1, 2, 3, ...)?  And vice versa: Some document elements (e.g., figures in the article class) are numbered continuously. How can I achieve per-section numbering?  \documentclass{book}% for "vice versa" variant, replace `book` with `article`  \begin{document}  \chapter{foo}% for "vice versa" variant, replace `\chapter` with `\section`  \begin{figure} \centering \rule{1cm}{1cm}% placeholder for graphic \caption{A figure} \end{figure}  \end{document}   Bonus question: Is it possible to adjust the numbering of the sectioning headings themselves? Can I, e.g., switch from per-chapter to continuous numbering of sections in the book class? I'm working on creating an illustration that I will need in many, different guises in differential geometry/manifold theory etc. Following on from a previous (answered) question of mine (, I want to show how two coordinate lines in the plane originate from two curves on a surface via the chosen map:  \begin{tikzpicture}     \begin{axis}[             name=mfd,             declare function={                     f(\x,\y)=10-(\x^2+\y^2);             },                   declare function={                     c_x(\t)=(cos(\t)+(sin(5*\t)/10))/3+1;             },                   declare function={                     c_y(\t)=(sin(\t))/2-1;             },                   declare function={                     c_z(\t)=f(c_x(\t),c_y(\t));             },           ]                    \addplot3[surf,domain=-2:2,domain y=-2:2,]{f(x,y)};             \addplot3[black,opacity=1.0,variable=t,domain=0:360,dashed,thin] ({c_x(t)},{c_y(t)},{c_z(t)});             \addplot3[black,opacity=1.0,variable=t,domain=-2:2,thin] (t,-1.2,{f(t,-1.2)});             \addplot3[black,opacity=1.0,variable=t,domain=-2:2,thin] (0.8,t,{f(t,-1.2)});             \addplot3[black,opacity=1.0,only marks,mark=text,text mark=$\cdot$] (1,-1,{f(1,-1)}) coordinate (a);     \end{axis}     \begin{axis}[             at={($(mfd.north east)+(1cm,-2cm)$)},             anchor=north west,             declare function={                     c_x(\t)=(cos(\t)+(sin(5*\t)/10))/3+1;             },                   declare function={                     c_y(\t)=(sin(\t))/2-1;             }            ]                    \addplot[variable=t,domain=0:360]({c_x(t)},{c_y(t)});             \addplot[black,opacity=1.0,only marks,mark=text,text mark=$\cdot$] (1,-1) coordinate (b);             \addplot[variable=t,domain=0.6:1.4](t,-1.2);             \addplot[variable=t,domain=-1.5:-0.5](0.8,t);     \end{axis}     \draw [-stealth, shorten &lt;= 3pt, shorten &gt;= 3pt] (a) to[bend left] (b); \end{tikzpicture}   However, I have a couple of problems:   The curves representing the coordinate axes pulled back from the plane via the coordinate map insist on being closed off with a straight line - is there a way to avoid that? I want to draw all the black curves with a thin, dashed line, but I probably don't understand how to set those options. What am I doing wrong?   I apologise if these questions are rather elementary, but I find the relevant manuals difficult to search through; they seem to be meant for reading cover to cover rather than reference. Is there a way to execute JavaScript in Perl? Axiom of Choice: Family of non-empty sets mutually disjoint or not? Georeferencing old map in QGIS? I have an old map over a part of Laos and wondering how do I georeference the map with the help of the Grid lines and other Longitude and Latitude information on the scanned map? I have searched for information on the internet and tried many times. My scanned map wont overly correctly on the base map. Any base map would be fine. As long as I can check the result.  Do I add X/East and Y/North values from the grid line crossings as marked and written in some parts of the map? How do I begin georeferencing this map? Do I have to add zeros after the two digits? For example if the Easting is 24 (its in KM right? Do I add like three/four zeros to convert it to meters?  I georeferenced the map with the option "From Map Canvas" in the georeferencer tool and I succeeded but I want to know the coordinate of a point on my old scanned map and write them as X/East and Y/North to georeference the map.   I hope I am not babbling and someone understands what I mean!  We can set the CRS to WGS84, EPSG:4326. I've always wondered how to write the "A ? B : C" syntax in a C++ compatible language.  I think it works something like: (Pseudo code)  If A &gt; B    C = A Else    C = B   Will any veteran C++ programmer please help me out? We are Indian passport holders, with valid visas for Canada. Plan is to take the EgyptAir flight Mumbai to Toronto, via Cairo. Problem is Egypt embassy website says we don't need Transit Visa if transit is up to 12 hours but here transit is 14 hours.    Has anyone with a Indian passport traveled this route? What was your experience at Cairo? Did you need a transit visa? What is different about the Mac ISO image? At that location there is an ISO image which is described as "This image is adjusted to work properly on Mac systems."  What specific problems on the Mac does this image address that the standard images don't? I ask because I need to know which ISO to recommend to Apple Mac users. An Open Interval and a Half-open Interval are not Homeomorphic Is there any way to automatically unwrap UV map proportionally to object or "world" size?  For example:  I've made two cubes, one is two times bigger than other (scale is applied). Then I unwrapped texture with Smart UV project which will try to span all faces on whole texture space(0 to 1) so bricks on left cube will be bigger than bricks on right cube.   But what I want to achieve is this:     In broader context:  When I import model from Archicad (in form of OBJ) all objects have UV's in some scale (so all bricks have the same size on every imported object). And when I want to create custom object in scene I have to manually scale UV's to adjust bricks size for every new object (instead of scaling to one constant parameter). How do I turn off equation auto numbering How would I prove that for all elements of a set {n | n ∈ ℕ ∧ n &gt; 7} (all natural numbers greater than 7), there are multiples of 3 and 5 which, when added up, are equal to that element of the set?  A := {n | n ∈ ℕ ∧ n &gt; 7} ∀ n ∈ A: n = x*3 + y*5   I do understand why this is true:   8 = 1*3 + 1*5 9 = 3*3 + 0*5 ...  15 = 0*3 + 3*5   and this pattern repeats once 16 is reached, as 8 can be replaced with 1*3 + 1*5, so I'd basically have to add 1 to x and y for every time 8 fits in n.  I am however not sure how I can formulate this mathematically correct.  Thanks in advance, CrushedPixel I have a very simple jQuery Datepicker calendar:  $(document).ready(function(){     $("#date_pretty").datepicker({      }); });   and of course in the HTML...  &lt;input type="text" size="10" value="" id="date_pretty"/&gt;   Today's date is nicely highlighted for the user when they bring up the calendar, but how do I get jQuery to pre-populate the textbox itself with today's date on page load, without the user doing anything?  99% of the time, the today's date default will be what they want.
