Would like to withdraw my flag for closure in favor of vote to close
Should flagging a question for closure prevent close-voting?
Scaling in object and edit mode My question is: why do Object mode scaling and Edit mode scaling seem to be incompatible? I'm quite new to blender, so I may not know sth important about these modes. The actual case is:  I create a cube, which is 2×2×2 metres in metric units by default  (it's also shown under 'dimensions')    Then, with the cube selected, I switch to Edit mode, and enable 'Edge info: Length' under 'Mesh display'    And it shows the cube's measurements, which are 2m on each edge.  Now I use the scale tool in Edit mode, making the edges 2.244m    That's good so far. Changing back to Object mode, the changes can be seen under 'dimension'    However, when I use the scale tool in Object mode, the scale and dimensions also change, but changing back to Edit mode, the measurements shown remain the same      So the question is, why does the scale tool work differently and have different effects in Ojbect mode and Edit mode? Also, how can I enter the desired size of my cube manually to get an accurate result, without using the scale tool in Edit mode, and without changing the scale ratio in object mode? Kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. How can I install Lubuntu/Ubuntu? I'm trying to install Lubuntu on my laptop (sorta old 2005). [Laptop stats: Intel® Celeron® CPU 410 @ 1.46 GHz 1.47GHz, 448 MB of RAM]  I press Install and this message appears:   This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU.  Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU.   What can I do to install Lubuntu on my computer? print IP address with interface name I want to show the IP address like below  lo : 127.0.0.1  eth0 : 192.168.5.123 eth1 : 192.172.0.212 wlan0 : 10.1.0.124   I'm able to print all IP address by ifconfig | awk '/inet addr/{print substr($2,6)}'. But it is only printing the IPs. Every system have their own interface names and addresses. So my script has to show their interfaces with respect to IP addresses. Google Voice Recognition on iOS How to search the internet for terms with special characters As I learnt from this , Google has no ability to search for special characters. Let's say I want to search for ss!. Are there any other search engines that can achieve this? Please do not propose any programming code search engines since this is a general search. I mean 100+ MB big; such text files can push the envelope of editors.  I need to look through a large XML file, but cannot if the editor is buggy.  Any suggestions? How to get the filename without the extension from a path in Python? How to get the filename without the extension from a path in Python? For instance, if I had &quot;/path/to/some/file.txt&quot;, I would want &quot;file&quot;. Pigeonhole-principle with two choices I am able to solve this sort of problem pretty easily.     An arm wrestler is the champion for a period of 75 hours. The arm   wrestler had at least one match an hour, but no more than 125 total   matches. Show that there is a period of consecutive hours during which   the arm wrestler had exactly 24 matches.   However this homework problem I can't seem to figure out.     Tyler has five weeks to prepare for his driver’s test. His mother   volunteers to ride with him for either 15 minutes or one half hour   every day until the test but not for more than 15 hours in all. Show   that during some period of consecutive days, Tyler and his mother will   drive for exactly 8.75 hours.   If I try doing it the same way as the first problem. I get $70$ pigeons and $95$ pigeon holes. I honestly don't know where to start with this problem. I thought that maybe I could assume that they only drove $.25$ hours on each day and prove that there is a period of consecutive days where they drove for exactly $8.75$ hours. Then I could say that we assume there is one day that they drove for $.5$ hours and work my way up, but I can't seem to get that to work either. Using my idle computer for something useful (seti@home and the like) Table with actions per row LaTeX packages: automatic versus manual installation, and related issues I often run into problems in LaTeX with packages. I did a reinstall (MiKTeX) and it seemed to fix some issues with knowing where packages coming from or going. In general, I am not sure what should or does happen when using \usepackage command.  Is it standard that these packages are automatically pulled from the internet? Where do they go (by default)? Is there a better place to put them?  If I am troubleshooting, and if we can say packages are usually installed automatically, when, and should I ever, install packages manually? If so, where would I put them?  For instance, I believe the package easylist is installed on my computer. I was able, with some difficulty, to get into the roaming folder, looked around, and really the only package I saw, was several easylist files, such as .sty, and an associated readme file. I did a windows search for easylist, and only found one, with suffix .tpm and in the Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.9\tpm folder.  My problem currently, is that I am trying to use the todonotes package. It seems to require the xcolor package. But this "can not be found". It asks to choose a place to get it. I think default was "choose random", but I just switched it to internet, and some random mirror site in country (USA). That didn't work, and I'm afraid I've now fiddled with the default settings for getting packages, which will create problems later.

How to get permission number by string : -rw-r--r-- I applied for a B1 visa to attend a conference in the USA in 2013. I had another nationality (Non- VWP) at the time and my B1 application rejected under section 306 of border security. I now can apply for ESTA under my new nationality. Can my ESTA application get approved? If not and I need to apply for visa is it every time I need to travel to stated or is it just the first time? Why do not we ask negative questions without a contraction on the not after the verb? I have found multiple questions touching on this but not a single one that has a comprehensive answer. The information is all there but in little bits.     etc.   Exactly why is "Do not you sleep?" ungrammatical (except in poetry/with artistic license)? I understand that not can't contract after you: "Do you not sleep?" because not can only contract after a verb, and that it always does after do: "Don't you sleep?" but why does it (why must it) contract if it's placed after the verb in a question?   Don't you sleep? (common form) Do not you sleep? (ungrammatical) Do you not sleep? (less common form) MT7610U - Unable to install wifi driver Bijection between an infinite set and its union of a countably infinite set I have $A$ as an infinite set and $S$ as a countably infinite set, (so that means there exists a one-to-one correspondence between $S$ and $\mathbb{N}$).  How do I show that there always exists a bijection between $A$ and $A\cup S$? Can it be done by showing that there is a bijection from $A$ to $S$ or from $A$ to itself? I am lost on this one.   Oh, and can it be possible that there is no bijection if it is between $S$ and $A\cup S$? What about a map that maps $\mathbb{N}\to \mathbb{N}\cup\mathbb{R}$? How to choose capacitor for an IC I'm a beginner in electronics from the software industry. With some self-taught things, I'm trying to implement some basic Arduino circuits. My confusion is about capacitors mainly. My understanding about capacitors is that they act as power storage for few seconds or milliseconds.  I found that most IC's must have capacitors connected to their pins.  My confusion is how to find out which pins need a capacitor, and how to find the correct capacitor for a circuit or a capacitor for an IC.  Finally, why are capacitors necessary in a circuit in such situations? Very thin white line in colortbl Whenever I use the colortbl package to format tables, a thin white space between the cells sometimes shows up on screen (not in print for as far as I can tell). For example in this table:    Is there an easy way to enlarge each rectangle by a tiny amount so that the white space is not visible anymore?  (My guess is that the white space appears due to rounding in my pdf viewer, evince. I don't know if other pdf viewers have the same issue. Regardless, I would like to have my pdf file look good in common pdf readers) When, if ever, should voting override answer acceptance for answer sorting? The accepted answer always appears at the top of the list, regardless of sort order. This can be misleading if the question author accepted an invalid solution and a better solution was proposed later, and eventually got more votes. I have seen somewhat obscure questions where the accepted answer has a negative score and the next answer has 10 or more up-votes.
