Best way to transfer files from Windows to Windows via Internet
I have a song that Windows can't play because there is a question mark in the name of the file.  "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?.ogg" // as an example   So I try to rename it and Windows complains whether I try it in Explorer or from command prompt.  Error I get when trying to copy, rename, or move is:     The Filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect   Is there a Windows way to force a rename in this case?   Update  I'll keep an eye on this question, but after 13 answers and many attempts (aside form 3rd party solutions) it seems that Windows can't do this (or at least my windows can't, no short names). So I'm accepting the answer which was my original solution anyway of using Linux. It would be nice to see Windows handle this somehow, so don't stop just because I've accepted this answer, the question still stands! Uniform convergence of $f_n(x)=nx^n(1-x)$ for $x \in [0,1]$? I want to decide whether or not $f_n(x)=nx^n(1-x)$ is uniformly convergent or not. I have shown that $\lim_{n\to\infty} f_n(x)=0$ for $x \in [0,1]$.  Now $f_n(0)=f_n(1)=0$. And in $(0,1)$, we have $f'_n(x)=n^2x^{n-1}-n(n+1)x^n$. Putting this to zero gives $x=\frac{n}{n+1}$. Also $f_n(\frac{n}{n+1})=(\frac{n}{n+1})^{n+1}$. But that tends to $\frac{1}{e}$ as $n$ tends to $\infty$ which is not $0$ so we don't have uniform convergence, right?  Nonetheless we have $\lim_{n\to\infty} \int_0^1 f_n(x)dx=\lim_{n\to\infty} (\frac{n}{n+2}-\frac{n}{n+1})=0=\int_0^1 \lim_{n\to\infty} f_n(x)dx$.  Is all this right? I have some doubts, I mostly doubt my intuition in analysis... Thank you! Magnitude of standardized coefficients (beta) in multiple linear regression Being aware of , I am curious about the question how big standardized coefficients can get. I had a discussion with my professor about that issue and she was arguing standardized coefficients (beta) in multiple linear regressions can not become greater than |1|. I have also heard that predictors with standardized coefficients greater than 1 should not be be included/appear in multiple linear regression. When I recently estimated a multiple linear regression in R using lm(), I estimated the standardized coefficients with lm.beta() function from the package 'lm.beta'. In the results I could observe a standardized coefficient greater than one. Right now I am just not sure about what is the truth.  Can standardized coefficients become greater than |1|? If yes, what does that mean and should they be excluded from the model? If yes, why?  I would be very thankful, if somebody could make this issue clear for me. Can we create a subsection of the References Cited section with different reference numbering? Reading the question posted  left me with a more general question:  Given the professional title and name: Dr. (First Name)(Last Name), is there some way to differentiate between the holder of a philosophical doctorate and a medical doctor? Wouldn't it be more appropriate for a PhD holder to have the title (First Name)(Last Name), PhD? Graph vertex chromatic number in a union of 2 sub-graphs $G_1$ is graph on the set of vertices $\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8\}$, $G_1$ vertex chromatic number is 5. $G_2$ is graph on the set of vertices $\{7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,17,18,19,20\}$, $G_2$ vertex chromatic number is 7. We know $G_1$ and $G_2$ have an edge between vertex 7 and vertex 8. (We already used 2 different colors on them both). $G$ is graph on the set of vertices $\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20\}$, and its set of edges is the union of the edges set of $G_1$ with the edges set of $G_2$. The vertex chromatic number of $G$ is: 5 / 7 / 12 / we can't know without further information Prove the answer. I think I got it, can someone approve? After the union to $G$, we copy the colors of $G_2$ to 7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20, obviously, $G$ vertex chromatic number is 7 and can't be less. We go through the vertices 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. We look for a vertex that doesn't connect to a different vertex. (There must be one, because if only one edge was missing in $G_1$, our chromatic number of $G_1$ was 7, but it's 5). Once we find a missing edge, we color both its vertices in the same color. We go through vertices 1-6, and color each vertex that doesn't have a color, with the colors of $G_2$ that we didn't use in $G_1$ (there should be 4-5 of them). What's wrong with this demonstration?:  $$A \iff 1 = 1^1$$ $$A \implies 1 = 1^\frac{2}{2}$$ $$A \implies 1 = (1^2)^\frac{1}{2}$$ $$A \implies 1 = ((-1)^2)^\frac{1}{2}$$ $$A \implies 1 = (-1)^\frac{2}{2}$$ $$A \implies 1 = (-1)^1 = -1$$  So finaly we get  $$1 = -1$$ Gaussian/Normal plots from a data distribution in scientific notation I am new to Tex and trying to plot a gaussian distribution from a set of values.

Thanks! Print programs with its proper syntax The usual example of unitary ring without the  property is the ring of column finite matrices, and in this case we have $R\simeq R^2$ as (left) $R$-modules. (See also .) In particular, we have $R^2\simeq R^3$.      I wonder if there is an example of unitary ring (without the IBN property) such that $R^2\simeq R^3$, but $R\not\simeq R^2$ (as $R$-modules). Prove that $ S=\{0\}\cup\left(\bigcup_{n=0}^{\infty} \{\frac{1}{n}\}\right)$ is a compact set in $\mathbb{R}$. Prove that $ S=\{0\}\cup\left(\bigcup_{n=0}^{\infty} \{\frac{1}{n}\}\right)$ is a compact set in $\mathbb{R}$, but $\bigcup_{n=0}^{\infty} \{\frac{1}{n}\}$ is not a compact set.   (Can we use definition of compact set for this problem? ) This one never ceases to confuse me. When to use 'such as' and when to use 'like' while giving examples? Is there any clear rule?        Metros like Mumbai, Delhi and Karachi are unsafe after dark.    Metros such as Mumbai, Delhi and Karachi are unsafe after dark.       (Before anyone points out, Delhi and Karachi are unsafe round-the-clock, but it's just an example.) Why is Earth's gravity stronger at the poles? Many sources state that the Earth's gravity is stronger at the poles than the equator for two reasons:   The centrifugal "force" cancels out the gravitational force minimally, more so at the equator than at the poles. The poles are closer to the center due to the equatorial bulge, and thus have a stronger gravitational field.   I understood the first point, but not the second one. Shouldn't the gravitational force at the equator be greater as there is more mass pulling the body perpendicular to the tangent (since there is more mass aligned along this axis)? I've just set up a new machine with Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10 and then run  apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get install git   Now if I run git --version it tells me I have git version 1.7.5.4 but on my local machine I have the much newer git version 1.7.9.2  I know I can install from source to get the newest version, but I thought that it was a good idea to use the package manager as much as possible to keep everything standardized.  So is it possible to use apt-get to get a newer version of git, and what is the right way to do it? The question,  was closed at 04:50  And yet I was able to  at the time of 08:41 some four hours later.  The question was later reopened at 08:57 What does the 'cosmological constant' represent? Newtons theory of gravity involves a gravitational constant $G$, however one does not refer to it directly, we speak instead of gravity or the force of gravity.   Now Einsteins introduced a  in his equation for GR, and ever since it's been referred to as such; however, this usage seems strange to me, given the above parallel; it seems to me we ought to be referring to something physical, which can then be quantified and whose quantification involves the cosmological constant.   Does the cosmological constant then refer to a cosmological force? A force that is, contra gravity, repulsive? And which is even weaker than gravity, kicking in on the scale of galaxies rather than solar systems? I've always managed my iPhone/iPad/iPod Manually, I recently updated to iTunes 11 and now I can see no way to get my music onto my device.  I used to be able to just drag songs from my library to my device, now there is seemingly no way to do this.  I can view the music on my device by clicking on it on the top right corner of iTunes, but I can't seem to get to a state where I can drag music from my computer onto my device.  I'm using iTunes 11.0.1.12 for Windows if that makes a difference. How do camera body motors compare to in-lens motors for focusing? What is the difference between using a motor on the camera body and the motor built into lenses?   Aside from how both compare in terms of speed, what differences would I notice if I use a body with a motor and motor-less lens, and a lens with motor on a body that lacked one?  A comparison chart outlining the various lens motor types would be a great help as high end USM motors for Sigma lenses are faster then their regular versions. I am stuck with a rather irritating problem I ran into after installing 11.10 on my macbook pro 5,5.  I did a clean install efi booting into the setup using the desktop cd. Upon the first reboot I was presented with the "invalid arch independent ELF magic" and grubs rescue console.  I have read  but the solution is no solution for me since installing grub via live cd only means installing the mbr version and I can't seem to find any manual on how to install grub-efi while booted into the live cd.  So my question is: How can I either edit the grubx64.efi file in my EFI Partition, reinstall grub-efi with a live CD / DVD or use grub rescue commands to fix this issue? Trying to Remember a Book that explored evolution of Dinosaurs to intelligence and then encountering humans Many, many years ago, I read a book where dinosaurs were assumed to have suvived the K-T event (or it never happened), and they evolved to intelligent species that used not only language (which combined sound, posture, and colour changes on their skin) but also used technology.  In the series, a human is captured or somehow gets integrated with one of the evolved dinosaur groups.  Again, from a very faint memory, the dinosaurs had a level of technology that would be about middle ages, and the humans were much more analogous to American Indian.  That's really all I can recall about the book, and I am trying to find it for my daughter to read.  Can anyone help me out?
