Is there a native terminal in OS X, without having to load the desktop, window manager, etc?
Is there console mode in Mac OS X?
The set of limit points of the sequence $1,\frac12,\frac14,\frac34,\frac18,\frac38,\frac58,\frac78,\frac1{16},\frac3{16},\ldots$ How to delete a file with a path too long to be deleted I was working with some computer vision source code I found and didn't realize that it creates a cache file that has a VERY LONG name and now I can't delete the 2 of them. I tried to rename it to a shorter name but I can't do anything to the file, I also tried to restart my computer and see if it would just go away. The error message says:  Destination Path Too Long. The file name(s) would be too long for the destination folder. You can shorten file name and try again, or try a location that has a shorter path.   How can I delete the files in this case? iptables drop all incoming ICMP requests except from one IP Currently, I have something like:  iptables -A INPUT -p ICMP --icmp-type 8 -j DROP iptables -A INPUT -s x.x.x.x -p ICMP --icmp-type 8 -j ACCEPT   However, when I run the second command, it looks as if iptables just stops.  I have to break out of it to get back to terminal.  Perhaps I am doing it all wrong, but some insight would be helpful. Calculate $\lim_{n\rightarrow +\infty}\binom{2n} n$ "That... be" construction What's the @ in front of a string in C#? I know there a lot of posts about ram but I'm still confused about it. I'm building a new system and because it was cheaper, I bought a 6GB kit from Corsair. So I'm wondering if I would be better off just using 4GB of it in a dual channel configuration or just add all 6GB (3 DIMMS) in a single channel configuration.   Thanks What is the proper way of creating installation media from Ubuntu iso? Regular Expression: Numeric range Where do I find the power cells to restore the bunker door in “Ancient armory”? I am trying to find the power cells to access the amor. Yet the placement is unmarked and I thought I would eventually stumble over them clearing the cauldrons.  Yet after clearing three cauldrons (RHO, XI, and Sigma) I still only have the one from the very beginning.  Where do I find all the power cells? Number of ordered pairs $(a,b)$ such that $ab \le 3600$ Find number of ordered pairs $(a,b)$ such that $ab\le 3600$ and $a,b \in N$  My attempt : Well, all $a,b \leqslant 60$ are solutions. These 3600 solutions. After that I have no idea how to count the number of remaining solutions...   I have a feeling that my approach is $very$ bad. But I had to give as it would be marked as off-topic. Allow moderators to edit/delete comments directly from the per-user comment moderation page A while back, a new dashboard was added to the user moderation tools to .  It's great for scouring a user's comment history to find certain comments, but I can't do anything from this dashboard except filter by flagged1, deleted, or active comments, and visit the posts to which the comments are attached where I can then edit or delete them.  Can we have the ability to edit and delete comments from this dashboard just as we're able to from the flag queue? It gets particularly tedious to have to open 100 tabs just to delete 100 spam comments from the posts they're attached to (and no, I'm not making that number up2...).    1 .  2 Alright, fine, I made that up; the actual number of spam comments I had to delete was 111. Motivating question:    I'm aware that one can construct a hierarchy of number systems via the Cayley–Dickson process:  $$\mathbb{R} \subset \mathbb{C} \subset \mathbb{H} \subset \mathbb{O} \subset \mathbb{S} \subset \ldots $$  "Reals" $\subset$ "Complex" $\subset$ "Quaternions" $\subset$ "Octonions" $\subset$ "Sedenions" $\subset$ $\ldots$  and that at each step you're given a multiplication table that tell how the elements interact. As you move up the ladder, certain "nice" properties are lost: ordering,  commutativity, associativity, multiplicative normedness, etc... Given the multiplication table, you can show that these properties don't hold.   Eric Naslund noted that "the first 4 are very special as they are the unique 4 normed division algebras over ℝ", no surprise then that these $2^n$-ions have found quite a bit of use. I'm interested in the sequence itself however, irrespective of how useful a $2^{256}$-ion might be (ducenti-quinquaginta-sex-ion?).   I feel like something deeper is going on here though that I don't understand. Why are these particular properties lost at each step? Is it possible to quantify the process such that, at the $2^n$-ion you can say something about the symmetry of the multiplication table*?  * I'm making an ansatz that there is a connection between the symmetry of the multiplication table and these "nice" properties. Can I skip my train leg booked with a KLM flight? How to use ampscript in order to pull user data from a second data extension? We have several data extensions that have data relationships with each other.  How can I send an email using one data extension while pulling data from a second data extension to personalize my email with ampscript?  I've tried Lookup in many different ways, but I've only managed to pull one specific row (the same row which is not personalized to each user) or all rows at once. I haven't been able to pull personalized data for each user.  In practice, I want to pull data from a DE called "Survey". Each user has a specific ID and some users have an "AnswerID", which varies. I want to to create IF/THEN statements based on that AnswerID.  Thanks, Sylvie I had this question:    All 3 responses were rated at 1 when the bounty expired. Nothing got selected as the "best answer", and I can't even manually select an answer. My account has been temporarily suspended; what does that mean? My account has been , besides the following restrictions:  an account will be locked at 1 reputation the user page will have a visual indication that the account is in timed suspension, and for how long the account holder will be unable to vote, ask, answer or comment  What else does timed suspension prevent me doing? For example, can I still edit my own posts or delete content? And what is a network-wide suspension? What is Uplay? Can I play Ubisoft games without it? Heroes of Might and Magic VI seems to have installed a program called "Uplay", which it uses to launch (in addition to Steam, mind!)  What exactly is Uplay supposed to be? I notice that when I stop playing, it captchalogs the highlights of my past session (achievements earned, etc.) - which is kinda cool, but also kinda creepy and big-brotherish. Given that I value my privacy, is there anyway to play Uplay games without using Uplay?  Is this just Ubisoft's infamous "always-on" DRM? This was posted on facebook and people are saying it is incorrect, it should be: "...as you and I"   Which is correct? I asked  that turned out to have multiple correct answers. How do I pick between them to determine which to accept?  All of the answers were different. They were not the same answer given multiple times.
