How to calculate the dimension of a space that is defined by symmetric matrices
Dimensions of symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices
Access server by host name? I have a mixed network with mostly Windows machines, a Mac, and a few Linux boxes.  There is no DNS or WINS server, and adding one is outside of my control.  If I put a clean install of 10.04 desktop on a computer, then all other machines on the network can get to that machine by hostname just fine.    However, if I put 10.04 server on the same computer, then the other machines can only get to it by IP address.  The hostname does not resolve.  What do I need to do on the server so that all the other machines on the network can get to it? Can't move/snap Nautilus window to occupy left or right half of the 1366x768 screen - is it just me? Where does the curve $x^y = y^x$ intersect itself? This problem is quite easily solved by using logarithms and derivative and forming the function $f(x,y) = x^y - y^x$, however there are assertions that this problem can be solved without using either of the two. I can not see how one would proceed to solve this problem in the absence of logarithmic manipulation and differentiation. Can anyone shed some light on this? File and directory comparison tool? I'm looking for something that will compare directories and files like Beyond Compare does for windows.  Its mainly for use of source control, but I need to use it for deployment as well. How many generator has a cyclic group of order n? Filter "Hot Network Questions" by excluding sites I was going to make a filter for the &quot;&quot; by excluding some sites from it.  I noticed  which talks about &quot;negative filtering&quot; but does not explain how one can do it or if it is possible.  There does not seem to be a way to do this, though.  On the filter page, my only options are:  So how can I do &quot;All sites except [list]&quot;? It would also be nice if this could include similar functionality with the meta checkbox.  Something like &quot;All main &amp; meta sites except...&quot; Need hint: Determine whether the series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}(\frac{n}{n+1})^{n^2}$ is convergent or divergent. Determine whether the series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}(\frac{n}{n+1})^{n^2}$ is convergent or divergent.  I've tried applying all the basic tests to no avail. I need to find out what the "trick" for this particular series is. One may not always know the Type of an object at compile-time, but may need to create an instance of the Type.    How do you get a new object instance from a Type? WPF ComboBox without drop-down button Okay. If I wanted to redirect the output of a program to a file, I'd do something like this  prog &gt; file   If I wanted to redirect both stdout and stderr to that file, then I'd do  prog &gt; file 2&gt;&amp;1   This is all well and good if you want the output to go to the file. But what if you want the output to go to the file and yet still go to stdout/stderr? So, the output is saved in the file, but you can still see it on the console as the program is running. Is there a way to do that? And if so, how? How to fix very slow Ubuntu booting? When is it better to use String.Format vs string concatenation? Query Activity for ORDER BY xxx DESC LIMIT I'm trying to create a query activity in order to show, from a Data Extension, only the last 5 articles ids. I tried with the formula ORDER BY xxx DESC LIMIT 0,5 as in SQL but it is not working and it is returning this exception:     The ORDER BY clause is invalid in views, inline functions, derived tables, subqueries, and common table expressions, unless TOP or FOR XML is also specified   How can I use ORDER BY in a Data Extension? Powerset of set with empty sets I am working on a problem with the following set:  $$S =  \{\varnothing,\{\varnothing\}\}$$  My solution was: $P(S) = \{\varnothing, \{\varnothing\},\{ \varnothing , \{ \varnothing \}\}\}$, but the solution on the textbook shows: $P(S) = \{ \varnothing , \{ \varnothing \}, \{\{\varnothing\}\}, \{ \varnothing , \{ \varnothing \}\}$  Where does the $\{\{\varnothing\}\}$ come from?  Thanks Can't connect to Android device My Android device won't connect. I've never got MTP to work, I've only ever got it to connect by USB mass storage, which was how it was working most recently. But now, since 13.04, it seems that option has been taken away entirely.  I need to be able to connect by USB to transfer files.  When I plug in the device I get an error that says Unable to open MTP device '[usb:002,003]':    After some web searching, I found that I might need a program called go-mtpfs, so I tried that, and it failed:  $ go-mtpfs /media/MyAndroid 2013/07/16 16:41:43 compiled against libmtp 1.1.5 Device 0 (VID=04e8 and PID=685e) is a Samsung Galaxy Y. 2013/07/16 16:41:43 found device Samsung: Galaxy Y (04e8:685e) @ bus 2, dev 3 :  LIBMTP PANIC: Unable to find interface &amp; endpoints of device 2013/07/16 16:41:43 rdev.open failed: open: open returned nil   How do I get my USB device to just connect, automatically, like it used to? Alternatives to Dmitri Bertsekas' Introduction to Probability and Sheldon Ross' A First Course on Probability I have Ross' A First Course on Probability and Bertseka's Introduction to Probability book. However these two books do not exactly give me what I am looking for. The problem is  Bertsekas' book is introductory, while Ross' book explains expression $E[\ E[X\mid Y] \ ]$ just by briefly saying it is a function of $y$ if I remember correctly. I need a probability book which will make me feel comfortable with the symbols and letters rather than ready made formulas. I want to be able grasp when a random variable is a constant or when it is not. I want  to be able to read and understand equations involving both random variables and constants and when are interpreted as a rv. when they are not etc. How do I ensure that figures appear in the section they're associated with? Often floats may land quite a bit later in the document than the point they are created, sometimes after a section break.  Is there a way to force a new section to start on a new page, after any unplaced floats? Solving of a seperable differential equation How do you solve this equation:  $$\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} + \frac{1}{xy} = y^3$$  I've tried to multiply everything by $y$ but I can not get all $x$'s ($\mathrm dx$) on one side and $y$'s ($\mathrm dy$) on the other. How to change default viewport shading in 2.8? Is it possible to change the default mesh color/shading in 2.8 to be more like 2.79? I'm finding it hard to see finer detail in 2.8. On the left is 2.8 and the right is 2.79 Show that $(p \to q) \lor (q \to p)$ is a tautology I tried to prove that $(p \to q) \lor (q \to p)$ is a tautology.  I used $p$ and $¬q$ as conditions. (Premises 1 and 5)  I managed to get to a solution, but I'm not sure if it's right.  Can you please check it?   Thank you!!!:)
