What is this icon depicting a phone and Wi-Fi together? When I view most glass from the side it's green which I've found out is due to impurities in the glass specifically from iron oxide. Why is it when I view the larger face from an oblique angle, it isn't nearly as green? I cannot personally notice any different on the piece I have next to me even when I hold it at an angle that would be almost looking at the edge of the glass. It is pretty small (about 2.5" x 5" x .0625" or about 61mm x 127mm x 2mm, l x w x h) but I feel like it's big enough that I'd be looking through enough glass to get the green. I've been asked the following question:  What five odd integers from the set  $\{1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15\}$ that when summed together equals to $30$? Note that any integer can be used more than once.   If my limited knowledge of maths is correct, there should be no answer, as no odd number of odd integers summed together can give an even number. Vertical spacing in floats I am using a float inside the text. As I found out, using \intextsep I could set space above and below the float and the texts. But when I am using \setlength{\intextsep}{5mm}, the space below the float is more than the one above it. Why they are not equal?  % Preview source code  %% LyX 2.0.0beta1 created this file.

On the left is the image with the features, on the right is the part of the object where I want it to be.    I tried to import the image as a plane, but matching the shape of the plane with the face didn't work, and the lines of the face left shadows on the head, and could be seen as a different object from some angles (although it's the closest I've gotten yet). It looked like this:    So , I tried selecting the faces of the head that the features should go over, and create a new material for it. Unfortunately, since the .png is transparent, the result produced was this:    (where it's impossible to tell the transparency from a black background default color, and where I wouldn't know where to start to adjust size and position).  I also tried UV mapping, but then the whole object became black with the features repeated all over.   Is it something I have to go into Nodes for? I'm kind of stuck here. Creating a new material and applying it is simple, but applying a material that is an image is a bit more complex it seems... Ideally, I would reproduce the same technique for the adhesive bandage on its arm (seen on the right of image 1). Why do universities have to spend money on journals? Obviously this is a question in the light of the recent Elsevier boycott. Currently we do have an arXiv, maintained by academia and where researchers regularly upload parts of their work. In such a case,   Why do universities spend lots of money to publish in third-party journals?   The question especially applies to journals that operate with a rigorous profit motive. The subscription is very high, so wouldn't publishing in such journals affect the paper's citation count and deter the spread of knowledge about the work within academic circles?   Why should not universities collaborate to create free, open access, peer-reviewed journals?   Moreover, given the need to conserve paper, why should journals spend on printing research papers? Wouldn't an online version suffice, as most people use only local computer printouts anyway? In other words, why can't we have a Wikipedia-like system of sharing research knowledge, having properly established standards for such journals? How do you setup a TeX document to self publish a book online? I am a casual TeX user. Mostly I have used it to type up some reports/homeworks for class in my graduate engineering work. In the past I have used document type "article". And then kept all the defaults.  I need to self publish something online. At the highest level I would like to know: How do you setup a TeX document to self publish a book online?  Some more low level questions:   Is there a document type for "book" and what is its name? I am looking at Amazon Createspace. : filetype=pdf, trim size, margins (gutter and outside margins). All of these various trim size, margins gutter/outside can be adjusted in the Tex document?   Has anyone seen any good TeX templates for Amazon Createspace? If you could demonstrate how to tweak a specific "book" document type that would be very helpful also.    Other than the above questions, please feel free to offer any other sort of help since I am completely new to this process (advice, links to good tutorials, links to wikibooks). How to manually parse a floating point number from a string This is a homework problem and I'm having trouble just getting a basic understanding.  I understand that $S_6$ is a symmetric group of degree $6$.  I'm not sure how to start looking for elements. $A$ is normal and nilpotent, show $A=0$ Given a matrix $A \in R^{n \times n}$ which is normal ($AA^H=A^HA$ where $A^H$ is hermitian of $A$) and nilpotent ($A^k=0$ for some $k$). Now we need to show that $A=0$. (This is essentially exercise 5(b) in sec. 80 on p.162 of Paul R. Halmos' Finite-Dimensional Vector Spaces.) I tried to show in the following way, we know that, $AA^H=A^HA$ pre-multiply by $A^{k-1}\implies A^kA^H=A^{k-1}A^HA$ Now, we have $0 = A^{k-1}A^HA$, since $A$ nilpotent. I am not sure how to proceed from here to show $A=0$. Can someone help me in this problem? I wanted to switch to Xfce (I had KDE and GNOME installed), and I did this :    sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop sudo apt-get autoremove   but to my surprise, I could still pick gnome, kde plasma, etc during the log in.  So, how do I completely remove KDE and GNOME desktops? 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. It appears that on Server Fault and Super User, the navigation bar and question title have suddenly become misplaced. The same does not occur on SO and mSO, nor on any of the other SE sites I spot-checked.  This is being seen in both Chrome and Firefox and just began occurring within the last few minutes.      What it should look like:      While this was fixed for a few hours, it has returned as of 22:05. Missing "References" heading Best way to remove file extension from a string? So, I'm using a script I've made to convert videos to the webm format. A certain program calls the script, sending %f which is the full, absolute file name of the video, like this:  converter.sh %f   where %f has two possible extensions, .avi or .mpg.  # /bin/bash ffmpeg -i $1 `dirname $1``basename $1 avi`webm &amp;&amp; rm $1   It currently works perfectly when $1 contains a .avi file, because basename removes the .avi extension. When $1 ends with .mpg instead, the result is .mpgwebm.  How can I modify that script to be able to receive those two possible different formats?    Resuming: If $1 is /somedir/video.avi, the script should do:  ffmpeg -i /somedir/video.avi /somedir/video.webm   And if $1 is /somedir/video.mpg, the script should do:  ffmpeg -i /somedir/video.mpg /somedir/video.webm   I know this might be fool for some people, but I'm kind of new with the bash. If $2^p-1$ is a prime, (thus $p$ is a prime, too) then $p\mid 2^p-2=\phi(2^p-1).$  But I find $n\mid \phi(2^n-1)$ is always hold, no matter what $n$ is. Such as $4\mid \phi(2^4-1)=8.$  If we denote $a_n=\dfrac{\phi(2^n-1)}{n}$, then $a_n$ is , but how to prove it is always integer?  Thanks in advance! Why is the comma splice an error? It's always drilled into us that we shouldn't use comma splices. They're bad, to be avoided and poor form.  But why? What makes the comma a faulty choice in something like this:     I never liked school, it was boring and repetitive most of the time.   It could be replaced with a semicolon, dash, period or colon and be "correct." Yet to a fair amount of people, the comma seems fine. If it weren't, it wouldn't be found so often in online forums, text messages, emails and so on.  What makes the comma between two sentences an error? show that a distance function is continuous lsusb relevant output Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0bda:8812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8812AU 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN Adapter  Upon plugging the device it is recognized by lsusb, however when I go to wireless settings no adapter is recognized. The driver is installed (by going to software and updates -> addition drivers and selecting the open source driver). This is about a step in a derivation of the expression for the relativistic Doppler effect.  Consider a source receding from an observer at a velocity $v$ along the line joining the two. Light is emitted at frequency $f_s$ and wavelength $\lambda_s$. The frequency $f_0$ and wavelength $\lambda_0$ received by the observer will be different.  Some textbooks now argue that the wavelength received by the observer is given by $\lambda_0=(c+u)T_0$, where $T_0$ is the time period of the wave in the observers frame. The argument given is that the successive "crests" will be an extra distance $uT_0$ apart due to movement of the source. Upon relativistically transforming the time period in the source frame to the observer frame, the correct result $f_0=f_s\sqrt{\frac{c-u}{c+u}}$ is obtained.  But the argument for the wavelength seems reminiscent of the classical Doppler effect for sound. Is it really applicable here through this argument? And is there a way to show the same result for $\lambda_0$ mathematically?
