Switch between materials within material
Can you use another material as input to material nodes in cycles?
When do we use "at" and "in" with "arrive" talking about place, not time? Is there a portable version of Chrome for Ubuntu? PostgreSQL, SELECT from max id Laplace transform of integral constant I am looking for a word that would describe being obsessed with the details of a larger entity such that the "looker" neglects to see the whole or (perhaps more importantly) the purpose of the whole.  Basically, "not seeing the big picture".  What can [more] succinctly describe this?  Edit: I just found this post: . I think I want the exact opposite. Fantasy novel: magic school, talking rabbit, character bites off another character's fingers The plotline as a whole is completely lost to me, but it was a big inspiration to my preteen self at the time and has shaped my creative development up to now. I'll list some of the big points that I can recall from it, if anyone has the vaguest idea what book I am referring to I would be so appreciative for any guess! I just want to reread it.   Main character is a delinquent of sorts, goes to a magic school. I don't remember there being any pictures in this book. There is a threesome between the main character and his two friends I believe it is a talking rabbit that says something along the lines of "My dear child, you are incensed", followed by one of the characters saying something like "Damn right I am!" A character that had been mentioned earlier but never made an appearance (he was banned for doing bad magic I think) shows up to fight and he bites off another character's fingers. Main character seeks out a magical white stag near the end of the novel because the stag can grant a wish if it's caught because he wishes to reset his timeline. The stag is able to speak. Wouldn't the thermodynamic cost of creating alternate universes make the Many Worlds interpretation implausible? I was thinking about the many interpretations of quantum physics, and one thing that never made sense to me was the many world's interpretation. Basically at any given moment for which something exists in a superposition, isn't this interpretation basically saying that there would have to exist a new universe for every possible discrete outcome that could result once the measurement is made?   So let's say an electron's location is a superposition of two distinct locations. Doesn't that mean there would at that moment have to be two distinct universes for each distinct location that is superposed? If so, then clearly the amount of universes being spawned every moment must be astronomical.   There could be trillions upon trillions of electrons(for instance) having superposed states, and then every moment in time (I suppose every planck time?), it seems there would have to be yet another set of universes spawning for every superposition.  How could this be? Surely there must be some kind of thermodynamic cost to replicate an entire universe. What would fuel or supply the additional mass and energy for every universe at every moment for every superposed state?  To my lay person's mind, this seems to be a very big weakness of this interpretation, but I needed to ask people with the physics background required to answer this question. Could there be some kind of loophole that could allow alternate universes to spawn so rapidly? Otherwise, doesn't this present a bit of a problem for taking this interpretation seriously? where does lspci gather its information from? In  I found "[The   latest   version    of   this   document   ". There I says: "… lspci is a synonym for cat /proc/pci".  Which isn't the case here, on a Crunchbang 10 system (Debian based). No such directory. I do get the basic idea and, as far as I  know, the content of proc is (mainly) created during runtime. (Wrong?). This made me curious:  Question: Where does lspci gather it's information from? And where is this documented? (Where did I miss something?)  &nbsp; Another difference I found: In kernel.org's documentation, under "Table 1-5: Kernel info in /proc"      pci &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Deprecated info of PCI bus (new way -> /proc/bus/pci/, decoupled by `lspci) How can I completely disable internal Mic and Webcam I want to disable the internal Microphone on my laptop and the internal Webcam completely that they're no longer selectable, and no longer available?  I will only use my external Webcam, and my external (USB) headset.  The internal audio should still be available for playback. rent a car, rent out a car, hire a car English not my native language. I'm trying to understand what would be correct in British English.  If I want to use a car for some time. I can say, "I want to rent a car". But from my knowledge there may be a  misunderstanding. I can say the same words if I want to give a car to someone to use for some time and I want to receive payment.  So what would be correct and not misunderstanding?   1) I want to use a car for some time = "I want to hire a car" 2) I want to give a car to someone to use for some time = "rent out a car"   Is my understanding correct?

Quake-style terminal with splitting in Gnome other than Yakuake The most common Quake-style terminal in Gnome seem to be Guake and Tilda, but they can't split to show several shells in single tab like Yakuake can. Is there any alternative which can do so? Getting video dimension / resolution / width x height from ffmpeg Rotate Geographic map I have two integers, x and y so that x &lt; y. How many prime numbers are there between x and y (exclusive). Is there a formula or algorithm to compute? I am new to TeX/LaTeX. How do I install TeX on Windows (7)? It seems that there are many different implementations, so which one is best for my OS? How does friction stop a car? I'm unable to understand how friction causes motion in cars and also is responsible for stopping them. When it starts the impending motion of tyres is in the backward direction that's why friction is in the forward direction and the car starts moving. But when the car engine turns off, the car stops after some time, but the condition of tyres are the same as in the previous case and friction must be in the forward direction. How do I study the "correlation" between a continuous variable and a categorical variable? Traveling to the US with new passport, visa on the old one I have a valid B1/B2 US visa expiring about a year from now. The passport it's in expired a few years ago, and I recently got a new one.   The passport number does not match, but the national ID number, mentioned in both, does (it used to be the same as your national ID, but not anymore)  Can I travel to the US carrying both passports? Or is it asking for trouble? (I read a few years ago that it was possible, but that might have changed)  Should I just get a new visa to avoid potential complications? How do I change a user name in Windows 7?
