How to link properties between the original and duplicated object?
Copy Physics To Multiple Objects
How can I easily switch audio output in Ubuntu 17.10 and later with GNOME? What is the difference between g++ and gcc? What is the difference between g++ and gcc?  Which one of them should be used for general c++ development? Let $P(x, y, 1)$ and $Q(x, y, z)$ lie on the curves $$\frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{4}=4$$ and $$\frac{x+2}{1}=\frac{y-\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{z-1}{2}$$ respectively. Then find the square of the minimum distance between $P$ and $Q$.  My Attempt is:  I tried to find minimum distance between the points $(-2,\sqrt{3})$ and $(6\cos \theta,4\sin \theta)$. This may be a stupid or trivial question, but I am new to Ubuntu, and have two unsolved problems (flashplayer doesn't play, and scanner doesn't work - in virgin install 13.04), so I started to search in documentation. In the 13.04 specific web site I was browsing the hardware section, and came across something like this: "Open Dash, and select Disk Utilities".  So what is Dash, and where is Disk Utilities?  The application finder could not find any of those. In terminal the "dash" command seems to invoke some sort of a shell. How do I run Python code as a script? I am using Ubuntu 11.10 (64 bits) and I do not want to mount automatically USB thumb drives in my system. I tried the command dconf-editor and gconf-editor but there isn't the icon to disable it in nautilus preferences (apps|nautilus|preferences|media_automount).  Thanks. BAD signature when trying to verify SHA256SUMS for Bionic Beaver ISO I am attempting to verify my download of Bionic Beaver on Windows 7.  I feel like I am missing something very obvious.  I went to  and clicked on both SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.gpg  It seems like this does not download the files, but opens the text in the files in new tabs.  I used Ctrl-A and then copied the text into Notepad, naming the files SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.gpg.  I made sure that windows didn't add any weird extensions when saving.  I manually downloaded both keys I used from https://keyserver.ubuntu.com, one with fingerprint  C598 6B4F 1257 FFA8 6632 CBA7 4618 1433 FBB7 5451   and the other with fingerprint  8439 38DF 228D 22F7 B374 2BC0 D94A A3F0 EFE2 1092   After I downloaded both keys I certified them with my personal key using Kleopatra, after verifying the key fingerprint with those at .  When I ran   gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.gpg SHA256SUMS   I got   gpg: Signature made 11/29/18 16:27:43 US Mountain Standard Time gpg:                using DSA key 46181433FBB75451 gpg: BAD signature from "Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Signing Key &lt;cdimage@ubuntu.c om&gt;" [full] gpg: Signature made 11/29/18 16:27:43 US Mountain Standard Time gpg:                using RSA key D94AA3F0EFE21092 gpg: BAD signature from "Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Signing Key (2012) &lt;cdimage@u buntu.com&gt;" [full]   When I ran   gpg --verbose --verify SHA256SUMS.gpg SHA256SUMS   I got  gpg: armor header: Version: GnuPG v1 gpg: Signature made 11/29/18 16:27:43 US Mountain Standard Time gpg:                using DSA key 46181433FBB75451 gpg: using pgp trust model gpg: BAD signature from "Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Signing Key &lt;cdimage@ubuntu.c om&gt;" [full] gpg: binary signature, digest algorithm SHA512, key algorithm dsa1024 gpg: Signature made 11/29/18 16:27:43 US Mountain Standard Time gpg:                using RSA key D94AA3F0EFE21092 gpg: BAD signature from "Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Signing Key (2012) &lt;cdimage@u buntu.com&gt;" [full] gpg: binary signature, digest algorithm SHA512, key algorithm rsa4096   I tried copying the data from SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.gpg tabs over TOR instead, in case it was a local network problem, but no dice either.  What am I missing here? Is there some way to download the SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.gpg files directly, as opposed to copying the data into a text editor and saving it?  Any help would be very appreciated. I am very confused and frustrated at this point. In C#, I want to initialize a string value with an empty string.  How should I do this?  What is the right way, and why?  string willi = string.Empty;   or  string willi = String.Empty;   or  string willi = "";   or what? Casting two cantrips, both modified by metamagic? Can you cast one cantrip, modifying it with "Twinned Spell" (Fire Bolt) to target 2 creatures, and then cast another cantrip as a Bonus Action (Fire Bolt), using "Quickened Spell" to target one of the previous creatures or another creature? I would like to ask for some simple examples showing the uses of &lt;div&gt; and &lt;span&gt;.   I've seen them both used to mark a section of a page with an id or class, but I'm interested in knowing if there are times when one is preferred over the other. Page layout assignments with XML metadata API How do I define page layout assignments for different record types via metadata XML files? I'd like to have Ubuntu installed on a USB stick, that I could plug in (almost) any computer and boot from it, and that I could use (almost) normally, as if it was installed on that computer. I'd also like to have a data partition on it that could be used by (almost) any computer, mostly to store some portable apps, just in case.    I've been told that if I installed Ubuntu in BIOS mode, I wouldn't be able to boot from a computer in UEFI mode, and vice versa.  Since I'd like to be able to boot on any computer, it's a big problem.  What can I do to be able to boot on computers in BIOS or UEFI modes in my case?  I've been searching for solutions but most of them are for specific needs that are different than mine, so it's difficult to extract the minimum requirements from those solutions to apply them to my problem.  Is there a simple, "clean" and quite generic solution to this problem?  I'd appreciate some explainations about the reasons why a specific solution is good or a specific step is needed.    My current setup:   USB stick:  OS: Xubuntu 16.04 i386 installation: full install (from a Live USB built with Rufus) drivers: none proprietary file systems:    partition table:    2: , /boot/efi, 128 Mio, FAT32, [boot,esp] 3: , 128 Mio, HFS+ 4: , 2 Mio, [bios_grub] 5: swap, 512 Mio 6: , /, 24 Gio, ext4, defaults,errors=remount-ro,lazytime,commit=60 1: , /media/data, ~3.6 Gio, FAT32, defaults,lazytime,check=strict  RAM:   /tmp, tmpfs, defaults,nosuid,nodev,noexec,mode=1777   swap:    vm.swappiness=5 swap partition: 512 Mio, for emergency zRAM swap files:    /var/swap/hib.swp: same size as RAM, for hibernation, generated by a script at startup /var/swap/opt.swp: if needed, generated by a script   overprovisioning: ~5.6%   built-in: ~1.2 Gio (apparently) added: 512 Mio  scheduler: deadline Compilers and argument order of evaluation in C++ Okay, I'm aware that the standard dictates that a C++ implementation may choose in which order arguments of a function are evaluated, but are there any implementations that actually 'take advantage' of this in a scenario where it would actually affect the program?  Classic Example:  int i = 0; foo(i++, i++);   Note: I'm not looking for someone to tell me that the order of evaluation can't be relied on, I'm well aware of that. I'm only interested in whether any compilers actually do evaluate out of a left-to-right order because my guess would be that if they did lots of poorly written code would break (rightly so, but they would still probably complain). Which programs can I use to edit PDF files? I know that there is a very similar question, but I'm not interested in highlighting. What I'm looking for is some tool in Linux to edit pdf files. I've tried pdfedit which did the work for me, but if freezes after a few edits. I've tried this tool under Ubuntu 9.10 and under KDE Fedora 14 and the same thing happens. I've tried Okular but the notations are too big to fill out exercises from pdf workbooks.    Is there any tool that suits this job? I don't care whether it is open source or I have to pay a reasonable price for it. Why do Unix man pages use double backticks in place of double quotes? I've noticed that man pages and other documents formatted by Unix utilities often use double backticks `` followed by double single quotes '' to wrap quoted phrases instead of the double quote character ". Single quotes are similarly replaced. Why is this?  Here are a couple examples, from the man page for grep:   To find all occurrences of the pattern `.Pp' at the beginning of a line:         $ grep '^\.Pp' myfile   The apostrophes ensure the entire expression is evaluated by grep instead  of by the user's shell.  The caret `^' matches the null string at the  beginning of a line, and the `\' escapes the `.', which would otherwise match  any character.   The grep utility is compliant with the IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1'')  specification. Why is there something instead of nothing? A simple but fundamental question.    The "something" means the whole Universe (known and unknown), it could be represented as the reality version of the set of all sets, which is itself . It includes all the  and such.  A better version of the whole Universe could be described with a .  The "nothing" means an absence of the whole Universe, not a particular void or emptiness in the whole Universe but a nonexistent whole Universe. How can I do a Cache Refresh in Google Chrome? I don't know what exactly it's called, by cache refresh I mean, refresh the page after clearing its cache. I don't want to clear the entire browser cache.  I can't seem to cache refresh my pages. In Firefox, I know it to be Shift+Refresh.  In Chrome, I've tried Ctrl+R, Ctrl+Refresh, Alt+Refresh, Shift+Refresh but none of them work. How can I set the drawableRight resource via code? Prove that $\lambda = 0$ is an eigenvalue if and only if A is singular. On thanksgiving day a woman posted in a facebook group that her father had just passed away (left her money) and in good deed because it was thanksgiving she was offering to pay people’s debts. Well I inboxed her and she pretty much wants me to open up a bank account with First Tech Credit Union and give her my log in and password info. Ofcourse its sketchy!   So I questioned her and asked why she wanted that instead of her sending me the money directly from her bank to mine. She then responded because she wants to keep records of my debts. (She asked for proof and I sent her screenshots ONLY of my outstanding balances) I heard about the depositing checks scam so I questioned her about how she would deposit the funds and she said cash.  Her facebook page is 100% legit, I screenshotted her pics and family profiles etc. We came to an agreement that I would only accept her help if she sends me a picture of her ID before me sending this info.   She literally just wants to deposit the money to me, She isn’t asking me to send nobody money from that account or anything. Of course the account will be empty when I provide it to her. When she does deposit the money I am planning to immediately change the password and obviously stay watching my account activity while she deposits the funds.   She actually also provided pics of other accounts she funded. My question is, is this a scam? And if so how could she possibly scam me? Specially if i have her information and A pic of her ID. She is a christian lady and looks like she has a good heart, We talked about my struggles and she actually looked into why I needed to be assisted with the money. By no means was she pushy or anything. I want to believe that she just wants to help me but I am also too skeptical.
