How to get properties of object in python
Is there a built-in function to print all the current properties and values of an object?
How do you read C declarations? "E:Read error - read (5: Input/output error), E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened." So I keep trying to install things on my laptop and whenever I try to use sudo apt-get I get the same errors every  time,  SystemError: E:Read error - read (5: Input/output error), E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.   Also whenever I try to open software Center through my desktop Icon it will just freeze leaving me to force quit.  If I try to use the command software-center in my terminal I get the longest list in the world which is,   che.open() Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/GLib.py", line 629, in &lt;lambda&gt;     return (lambda data: callback(*data), user_data)   File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/db/pkginfo_impl/aptcache.py", line 261, in open     self._cache = apt.Cache(progress)   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 105, in __init__     self.open(progress)   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 150, in open     self._cache = apt_pkg.Cache(progress) SystemError: E:Read error - read (5: Input/output error), E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. 2013-10-13 10:13:52,685 - softwarecenter.db.pkginfo_impl.aptcache - INFO - aptcache.open() Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/GLib.py", line 629, in &lt;lambda&gt;     return (lambda data: callback(*data), user_data)   File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/db/pkginfo_impl/aptcache.py", line 261, in open     self._cache = apt.Cache(progress)   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 105, in __init__     self.open(progress)   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 150, in open     self._cache = apt_pkg.Cache(progress) SystemError: E:Read error - read (5: Input/output error), E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. 2013-10-13 10:13:57,365 - softwarecenter.db.pkginfo_impl.aptcache - INFO - aptcache.open() Traceback (most recent call last):   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/GLib.py", line 629, in &lt;lambda&gt;     return (lambda data: callback(*data), user_data)   File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/db/pkginfo_impl/aptcache.py", line 261, in open     self._cache = apt.Cache(progress)   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 105, in __init__     self.open(progress)   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 150, in open     self._cache = apt_pkg.Cache(progress) SystemError: E:Read error - read (5: Input/output error), E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.   That's only about one-tenth of the list which is too long to read. I need help, if anyone has an answer please respond In $\mathsf{ZF}$, for each set $A$ exists an ordinal $\alpha$ such that no surjection $A\to \alpha$ exists Interesting property of finite integer sequence with sum 1 Need to prove that $(S,\cdot)$ defined by the binary operation $a\cdot b = a+b+ab$ is an abelian group on $S = \Bbb R \setminus \{-1\}$.

Alternating sum of binomial coefficients: given $n \in \mathbb N$, prove $\sum^n_{k=0}(-1)^k {n \choose k} = 0$ Both sides differentiation expression with integral I have a problem with derivation of some function. This is related to computing the Poincare Map of Logistic Population model with Periodic harvesting. This function is:  $\phi(t,x_0) = x_0 + \int_{0}^{t} f(s,\phi(s,x_0)) ds $,  where $\phi(t,x_0)$ is a function: $\mathbb{R}  \times \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$.  I'm trying to differentiate  equation of this function both sides  with respect to $x_{0}$. In book from this equation comes from the result of this differentiation is:  $\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial x_0} (t,x_0) = 1 + \int_0^{t} \frac{\partial f}{\partial x_0} (s, \phi(s,x_0)) \cdot \frac{\partial \phi}{\partial x_0} (s, x_0)ds$.  I can't understand expression under the integral. In this book it is explained that it is clear from chain rule.Could someone explain to me this transformation in easy way? I will be grateful for your help Best regards Is it possible to see cp speed and percent copied? I'm having problems when copying large files using nautilus (it gets stuck). I need to copy, using cp. I would like to know if there are any parameters that shows the % copied and also the transfer speed. As the title, I was asked to show that $2^{44}-1$ is divisible by $89$.  My first attempt is to change the expression into $(2^{22}-1)(2^{22}+1)$.  Then further simplified it into $(2^{11}-1)(2^{11}+1)(2^{22}+1)$, I used my calculator and was able to show that $2^{11}-1$ is divisible by $89$ but then I don't know how to show it with modular arithmetic. I do think that it is quite similar to the form where we can use the Fermat's little theorem. $(\sqrt{2})^{88}-1$. (Though I do understand Flt can only be applied to integer.)  Can someone tell me whether I can take square root in modular arithmetic as well? I am still pretty new to the modular arithmetic. Thank you very much. Why doesn't 'find' show this file? Regular expression to match DNS hostname or IP Address? If I want to add more RAM to my computer, how can I buy something compatible? What kinds are there? How do I determine which kind my computer will accept and how much I can add? Should my canonical URLs have only the ID with no slug so that they don't change? Our URLs will be created by the user's content.  Eg:  www.example.com/bar-1234/i-went-to-baz-4321  The "i went to baz" portion is user generated, included with the aim of being helpful to the person viewing the URL and also to possibly contain useful keywords for search engines.  However, the string that forms that portion is user editable. So it could become:  www.example.com/bar-1234/we-drove-to-baz-4321  AFAICT the canonical URL should be:  www.example.com/bar-1234/4321  The string portion is discarded by the controller, which means that there's potential for duplicate content from limitless URLs!  So, my question is, does it matter if my canonical URL is 'non SEO friendly'?  It seems logical to me to provide search engines with the "id only" version of the URL which is always consistent, but the canonical URL is the one that appears in search results, so is there any benefit from trying to use more 'SEO friendly' URLs? I'm struggling with my lab report. I have a questionnaire which contains Likert responses (1-7) as well as questions that require only yes or no answers. I want to see if there is a correlation between higher scores on the likert scale and responses to the binary answers to the other questions.   Specifically - the likert response is about anxiety levels. The binary (yes/no) answer is about negative consequences due to alcohol use. I want to just run the one ordinal likert item with all the negative consequence responses to see if there is a relationship. Can anyone help me?     Thanks so much for the fast comments. It definitely assures me that Spearman's Rho can be used but my main problem is the fact that i am mixing binary and ordinal variables together in the one correlation matrix.  I have one ordinal variable (anxiety - 1-7 on likert scale) crossed with 13 dichotomous (0 or 1 representing yes or no) to answers ("have you ever been hospitalised due to your alcohol use?). I get statistically significant answers (&lt;.05 and &lt; .01 but the Correlation coefficients are tiny (i.e o.2) at best.   the hospitalisation is the DV an the anxiety levels the IV.   I just think i'm doing something wrong here. should i collapse the 13 binary variables in to one some how?   i can't see how SPSS will recognise the values between 1-7 when correlating with binary answers. i keep thinking it will just read that there is something in that box (ordinal) but not recognise the value (i.e 1-7) . but people keep saying that SPSS does in fact recognise this difference and account for it. Consequences of a master thesis with errors I finished my master thesis 6 years ago, since then I gained a lot of experience on my field and also in academia. I can say that in that time I was a "child" , very inexperienced. I think that also my advisor did not help a lot, and I tried to do  a lot of things by my own, without someone to really review my things. Despite that, I still received a good mention by the master committee on final results.   Some days ago, I just decided to read part of master thesis, and I just realized a big nightmare coming. I identified a lot of typos, some references errors, and some improvements that I should do, but I did not. The worst thing is that I wrote a paper to a conference with my master thesis results (and some errors are there). The conference is not a high impact conference, but still the paper has my name and is available for everyone...   As I am finishing my PhD studies for now, I am concerning a lot that situation. My dream and goal is to pursue a Professor career. So, my questions are: What are (or could be) the consequences of a master thesis and paper with errors (some minor and some major) in academia? Revoke degree after years by errors in master is possible ( I am concerning a lot this situation that I thought on it)? How can I minimize it (I thought that I can put a fixed version of my thesis and paper in the future, for instance on my personal website)? How those errors can impact me in a Professor recruitment process?  Sorry for the long text, I am blaming myself all the time, and really afraid about the possibilities since I know that Academia career is really competitive.

So, I'm in a situation were I want to install ubuntu in my laptop (currently running windows 8) but I don't happen to have pendrives, CDs or the like available. The only "external" device I have with me is a samsung galaxy s2 with a micro SD-card in it.   Is it possible to use the phone as a pendrive to install ubuntu from it somehow? (without damaging the phone's OS and data) Words that mean ''to say something unintentional'' I have binary data in an unsigned char variable. I need to convert them to PEM base64 in c. I looked in openssl library but i could not find any function. Does any body have any idea?
