Can I use multiple regression when I have mixed categorical and continuous predictors? It looks like you can use coding for one categorical variable, but I have two categorical and one continuous predictor variable. Can i use multiple regression for this in SPSS and if so how? thanks! Failed review audit - for me quite clearly off-topic, can it be removed from the audit set? 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. I would like to use Flash Player to show web contents but since today (12 Jan 2021) Adobe is blocking it. Is there a way to use it? I've tried Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Brave browsers. If my power supply is 700w, do I need a 700w UPS? if my power supply is 700w, do I need a 700w UPS?  I am running dual 20" dell LCD's, a i7 quad core system with a radion 4870 1gb video card, 2 hard drives. Negative R squared contradicts ssa/sst? I understand from this question -    that the R squared value of a linear regression model can be negative if the intercept is constrained. And this makes sense if you define R squared as -   $$R^2 = 1-\frac{SSE}{SST}$$  One says $SSE&gt;SST$. But then,  $$SST = SSA + SSE $$ Total Sum of squares  = Sum of squared errors + Sum of squared residual. And with this we get -  $$R^2 = \frac{SSA}{SST}$$ And now it is hard to imagine how $R^2$ can be negative. Aren't SSA and SST >0 always? What is serial voting and how does it affect me? I just noticed that I lost a bunch of points from my reputation score, and I used the "reputation" tab on my user profile page to try and track down the cause.  During my investigation, I noticed there was an unusual event of type "reversal". In the normal place of a question title, it says "voting corrected".     What does this mean, and what caused it?  Did I do something wrong? Why did I lose all of that reputation? Is the system punishing me for leaving too many good answers?  Is there any way to earn it back? Uninstall apps locked by phone vendor I'm using a Samsung I9000 and I have some annoying apps that came pre installed by the phone vendor, like a music store, a custom web browser and other memory leaking apps.  Those crappy apps can't be uninstalled neither by Manage applications tool, nor by editing the apps tiles in the front menu.  I guess I have to be a root user or something to get rid of those apps, but I don't know how. Number of publications needed to get into a computer science PhD program? I've looked at the resumes of the type of candidates that get into computer science PhD programs at the top few universities (e.g. Stanford, MIT etc.) and a lot of them seem to have multiple publications (2-4) done during their undergraduate years. Is this representative of the entire pool? Or is this just a self-selected group that puts their resumes online.  I currently have one first-author workshop paper (5 pages), and I wonder how this might affect my chances at entry into these top universities. What is LINQ? I know it's for databases, but what does it do? Resetting Ubuntu to factory settings How to specify a short int literal without casting? How to show that this binomial sum satisfies the Fibonacci relation? The binomial sum   $$s_n=\binom{n+1}{0}+\binom{n}{1}+\binom{n-1}{2}+\cdots$$   satisfies the Fibonacci relation.   I failed to prove that $\binom{n-k+1}{k}=\binom{n-k}{k}+\binom{n-k-1}{k}$... Any hints or suggestions? When I format a drive to NTFS under Windows and plug it into the Ubuntu machine it is perfectly usable, but when I format it under Ubuntu using Disks (delete all partitions and create one single partition with NTFS) it does not show up when plugged into the Windows machine. Please note that in both cases the USB drive contains only one, primary partition formatted to NTFS, for example: /dev/sdb - the actual device /dev/sdb1 - the only, primary partition I've observed this behaviour both with a solid state USB pen-drive as well as an external USB magnetic HDD. How to (re)format a USB HDD or a stick to NTFS under Ubuntu so it is usable under Windows? Removing files matching a numeric range regular expression I have a folder which has many files. Some of the data files are labelled 1, 2, 3, ..., 300  I want to remove these data files using the terminal. How do I do this?   I want to do something like   rm some-regular-expression-giving-numbers-from-0--300 Because of a former error in our ASP.Net application, created by my predecessor and undiscovered for a long time, thousands of wrong URLs where created dynamically. The normal user did not notice it, but Google followed these links and crawled itself through these incorrect URLs, creating more and more wrong links.  To make it clearer, consider the url     example.com/folder   should create the link     example.com/folder/subfolder   but was creating     example.com/subfolder   instead. Because of bad url rewriting, this was accepted and by default showed the index page for any unknown url, creating more and more links like this.     example.com/subfolder/subfolder/....   The problem is resolved by now, but now I have thousands of 404 errors listed in the Google Webmaster Tools, which got discovered 1 or 2 years ago, and more keep coming up.  Unfortunately the links do not follow a common pattern that I could deny for crawling in the robots.txt.  Is there anything I can do to stop google from trying out those very old links and remove the already listed 404s from Webmaster Tools? I have got myself a dxf which is built with units in the wrong scale. How do I upscale that in QGIS?   Note it does open in QGIS, just in the wrong map units and location. Evaluate $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \left( {{1 \over {{{\sin }^2}x}} - {1 \over {{x^2}}}} \right)$ I tried l'Hospital but that will require a lot (and I mean A LOT!!!) of differentiating  Is there a shortcut? $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \left( {{1 \over {{{\sin }^2}x}} - {1 \over {{x^2}}}} \right)$$  Thanks in advance select all rows with a minimum value how to add a custom lock for the recovery and/or bootloader? Unlocking the bootloader and/or the recovery is very popular discussion across many devices. But doing so exposes a very obvious and inevitable issue with security!  An unlocked recovery means that no matter how secure you make your android lock screen, someone can easily reset phone to restore the phone to a fully functional (and lockless/insecure) state and the worst part, they don't have to erase your data(meaning they can access all your personal files and folders)!  It is almost hilarious! In fact if the phone supports insertion of external SD cards, you can even flash your own software into the phone and maybe bypass the lock screen without wiping any data.  For example: One possible loophole is using the 'Tasker' app which has a feature that can temporarily disable the keyguard. And the best part is that Tasker can be flashed using the recovery!  So is there any method by which I could add a security measure that prevents complete access to my recovery and/or boot loader that will make my phone less insecure?!  Expected answer: Method by which a custom pin/password must be entered before entering the bootloader/recovery. So that my bootloader/recovery is still technically unlocked but simply requires authentication to use (this also ensures that conventional unlocking methods won't work as the phone is not really locked!). This also means that one does not have to lose root access to ensure security!
