How can I make a tool drop blocks with CanPlaceOn tag In Adventure mode, I'm trying to let a player get blocks that he can place later, is there a way to do it directly or do I have to change them in his inventory?  Situation: The player gets a tool that will allow him to clear a boulder blocking the road. Further down the path, he encounters a broken bridge, and I want him to use the blocks he gathered before to rebuild it.  At the moment, if I build the boulder with blocks having the CanPlaceOn tag, the tag disappear when the player destroys them and they go in its inventory. String Comparison in Java Some English words only differ in their vowels: crisscross, dillydally, riffraff, etc. Is there a name for them? Mounting Flashdrive - mounted to home directory I wanted to mount my flashdrive, and made the mistake of setting the mount path as /home/my_name. Now all of my documents, downloads, pictures, etc. are unavailable since my flashdrive has replaced my previous home folder.  When I go to terminal and type sudo umount /home/my_name I get the error message:   umount: /home/my_name: device is busy.         (In some cases useful info about processes that use          the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))   Is there a way to fix this, where I can restore my old /home/my_name folder and then mount the flashdrive to a proper location? I'm attempting to install Ubuntu 14.04.1 (the only version I have handy) onto my old Compaq Presario R3000 (this Ubuntu was recommended for this computer). The installation has stalled at about 60% and hasn't moved in an hour.  The message at the bottom says: Configuring bcmwl-kernal-source (i386).  I have no experience with Ubuntu (or with Linux, for that matter), coming from a strictly-Windows background). Can anyone offer some advice? What are the main differences between undergraduate, master's, and doctoral theses? When I did my undergraduate thesis, my adviser was expected big on students expecting them working really hard, so it ended up as a reduced master's thesis (most of the reviewers said that it was an overkill for a B.E).  So because of this, I did my master's thesis pretty much in the same way I did my bachelor's thesis; the PhD dissertation was a different story.  What are the principal differences between these three pieces of research? I have $k$ pairs of samples from different distributions. For each pair of samples I want to check if the samples are taken from a normal distribution with the same mean and variance. I assume the normal distributions for each pair is different and independent of other pairs. I do not know the mean and variance of any of the distributions.  I am doing a two sample t-test for each of the pairs. I want to combine the $k$ resulting p-values.   I could use Fisher's method but I am wondering about the distribution of the average t-value. If these were z-values rather than t-values I would use Stouffer's z-test. I could also approximate the t-distribution with a z-distribution and than use Stouffer's z-test, but I am not sure if that is a good approximation.  Is there a test like Stouffer's z-test for t-values?  Is there a better way to combine the t-values? Limits, find a limit that exist in absolute value but not outside the absolute value. I am rebuilding an old server.  Only one of the five old sites need to go live and all five of the old sites point to the same IP address.  Unfortunately any time a request is made for one of the old sites via their own unique domain names they are passed the pages from the one site that I'm trying to make live.  I would just like the old sites to display a 404 instead of the one site that I'm actually trying to make live.  As an example:   Site 1 (192.168.0.1) [www.first.com] Site 2 (192.168.0.1) [www.second.com] Site 3 (192.168.0.1) [www.third.com]   I want to move site 1 live again.  So I turned on apache on the machine with the IP address of 192.168.0.1, with all of site 1's files in the /var/www directory.  When I browse to 192.168.0.1 or www.first.com I correctly see site 1. When I browse to www.second.com and www.third.com I also receive site 1 which is the problem.  Is there a way I can 404 any request which comes in without www.first.com?  Here is my sites-available:  NameVirtualHost *:80  LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %&gt;s %b" common  &lt;Files ~ "^\.ht"&gt;     Order allow,deny     Deny from all     Satisfy All &lt;/Files&gt;  &lt;Directory /&gt;   Order Deny,Allow   Deny from all   Options None   AllowOverride None   Options None &lt;/Directory&gt;  &lt;Directory /var/www&gt;   Order Allow,Deny   Allow from all &lt;/Directory&gt;  &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;         ServerName first.com         ServerAlias www.first.com         DocumentRoot /var/www         ErrorLog /var/log/first.com.err         CustomLog /var/log/first.com.log common &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;  &lt;VirtualHost _default_:*&gt;         ServerName unknown         DocumentRoot /var/www_404 &lt;/VirtualHost&gt; Eclipse issues warnings when a serialVersionUID is missing.

Let $f:\mathbb{R}\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$ a differentiable function such that $f'(x)=0$ for all $x\in\mathbb{Q}$ Let $f:\mathbb{R}\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$ a differentiable function such that $f'(x)=0$ for all $x\in\mathbb{Q}.$ $f$ is a constant function? Adding user to a group - Why had to reboot? I was not able to access the VirtualBox shared folder, so I made the user part of the vboxsf group. But, still not able to access it. Rebooting the guest resolved the problem. Is it a bug? A reboot is not required to add a user to a group.   sudo usermod -a -G vboxsf praveensripati   There was similar query .  I am using 11.10 and don't remember seeing similar behavior in 11.04. Connect to SQL Server with Windows Authentication in a different domain Are submodules of finitely generated free modules always free? I don't believe it's true that all submodules of a finitely generated free module are free just based on results from google. Is there a canonical simple example of a finitely generated free module with a submodule that is not free? I would like to know if there is a word or phrase for a systematic campaign to annihilate every descendant of a particular ancestor.   We have the word 'genocide' for killing off an entire race, and plenty of words for killing people based on how they are related to you (fratricide, filicide, et. al.), but looking over the  and the , I couldn't find a term for systematically killing an entire bloodline.   My question is prompted by a US news story about the horrific murder of 8 members of the same family, but those murders are not an example of what I'm thinking of because the children of the victims were left alive, so the motive for the killings was not to kill off the bloodline. The sense that some group had coordinated an attack against just one family is what made me wonder what the "not an entire race, just one bloodline" version of 'genocide' would be called.   Searching the Internet for "kill off" and bloodline sends me straight into the land of vampires, Illuminati, reptilian overlords, and, naturally, Priory of Sion nonsense so I haven't had much luck finding a thread to pull.   It may be that there is no word for it in the sense of murdering a human bloodline, because we just don't attempt kill off our royals down to the last heir often enough to coin a term for it. Maybe there is a scientific term for culling a line from a test population as part of biological research? Usage and origin of "sister" in expressions like "sister company, sister ship, sister site" etc The term  is often  used figuratively  to refer, for instance,  to a “sister company” for a company  within the same group, or to a “sister  site” for  sites that belong to the same family. This connotation as explained by the   means:         belonging to a pair or group of similar and related things, such as businesses, usually owned or operated by the same person or organization:         our sister company in Australia.          also, from :        You can use sister to describe something that is of the same type or is connected in some way to another thing you have mentioned.    ⇒ ...the International Monetary Fund and its sister organisation, the World Bank.   ⇒ ...Voyager 2 and its sister ship, Voyager 1.       This usage appears to be common with things that are  regarded as feminine and are associated, as if by kinship,  with other similar things that belong to the same group. An early  usage example of this is the "sister" referred to  ships:         the US battleship Missouri and her sister ship, the Wisconsin.      In other instances,  the "feminine" issue is less explicit as in the case of internet sites, so I guess this usage has to do with the fact that English is less gender specific when it comes to things or abstract entities.   Questions:    Does “sister” apply to whatever entity that belongs to the same group irrespective of its real or perceived gender? or could "brother" be used instead?  Where does this usage come from? How do I get timestamp from e.g. 22-09-2008? Find $P(12)$ when $P(x)={1\over(x+1)}$, for $x=0,1,2,......11$ let $P(x)$ be a polynomial of degree $11$ such that  $P(x)={1\over(x+1)}$, for $x=0,1,2,......11$  then find value of $P(12)$ Comment character counter does not trim, while the server does Watched screen recording but it's not saved to the desktop I recently recorded a session with my dad. I stopped the recording after the session ended (with the setting set to save to Desktop), clicked the icon that appeared on the lower right corner to open the file, and played back a few minutes to make sure it worked. I then clicked Share to send it via AirDrop to my computer, which did not work; the status remained &quot;cancelled&quot; despite my efforts. I assumed I'd be able to access it through my phone by sending it through a third app, so I pressed cancel on the AirDrop pop-up window. The entire screen recording closed and (apparently) vanished forever after the action. I'm extremely frustrated because I can't seem to locate this video.
