how to pass module/method name as command line argument python 2.7.10
Calling a function of a module by using its name (a string)
How do I root my Nexus 7? I am wanting to gain root privileges on my Google Nexus 7 tablet, running Android 4.1-4.2.1. How can I do this? What is the center of $D_{2n}/Z(D_{2n})$ What is the center of $D_{2n}/Z(D_{2n})$. I see that when $n=2^k$ then I have a $p$-group so the center is not trivial. But when $n$ is not power of $2$ how can i know what is the center of this group?. Surely when $n$ is odd then the center is trivial. Inequality similar to the Schwarz-Pick theorem I need to build a function which parses the domain from a URL.  So, with   http://google.com/dhasjkdas/sadsdds/sdda/sdads.html   or  http://www.google.com/dhasjkdas/sadsdds/sdda/sdads.html  it should return google.com  with   http://google.co.uk/dhasjkdas/sadsdds/sdda/sdads.html  it should return google.co.uk. iMac with 8GB RAM -- memory always almost full I have a 27'' iMac (Late 2012, OS X 10.9.2) with 8GB RAM. The usage of memory is always above 7GB, even though I don't think I am running that much stuff. This leads to the occasional hanging of a program and occasional feeling of the computer being lagged.  The heaviest thing I am running is a Parallels virtualization of a defunct Windows laptop (for my Windows-only programs; work-related). Then I mostly surf with Chrome (10-20 tabs, some with youtube videos). Of course I have other things opened, like Mail, Evernote and a few more. But I don't think a 8GB RAM computer should be overwhelmed by that. I could be wrong.  I am willing to provide an export of processes from the Activity Monitor. I tried looking into it, of course, and I am running A LOT of small processes (unknown to me) -- system stuff I presume. I am a long-time PC user and I know my way around process management in PCs, but not on Mac.  What do you think? Do I just need more RAM or it doesn't feel like it?  Regards, Is the Stack Overflow source code available? I generally defrost meat on the kitchen counter. A friend of mine suggested that this was dangerous and suggested that I defrost meat in the refrigerator. I am no biologist but it seems to me that as long as the meat doesn't get warm defrosting it on the counter should be safe.  Generally, I remove the frozen items from the freezer and place them on a plate on the counter in the packaging they were frozen in. When they are mostly / completely thawed I place the meat in the refrigerator.  Am I wrong and should I be defrosting in the refrigerator? Cartoon in a world with magic stones wielded by four children which combine to become stronger, and can summon creatures Can you please help me find this animated show? There is a four member team with two boys and two girls. The boys can summon, with their stones, a rock golem (black wearing summoner) and a robot (orange wearing summoner). The two girls can summon something like a dragonfly (green wearing summoner, little girl) and the blue girl, I don't remember what she can summon.  I don't know where the animated show comes from.  By throwing the stone, they activate the stone's power. Each stone has different characters on it. When you don't match them correctly, you get a rebound effect. Quadratic Formula in Complex Variables Let $a$, $b$, and $c$ be complex numbers with $a\neq0$. Show that the solutions of $az^2+bz+c=0$ are $z_1,z_2=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$, just as they are in the case when $a$, $b$, and $c$ are real numbers. I can't see my background image in the 3D view I try to set up an image as background for a basic blender tutorial, but it isn't visible.  This is the image I try to have as background: How to create old looking/ cracked glass I am looking for old looking cracked glass for a window in a shack scene. I have looked everywhere but can find a tutorial or material or model on this please can someone help me on this thanks Just for curiosity, sometimes while installing software throught apt-get install software_name the terminal prompt me for a confirmation "type Yes or No", but not allways.  I dont mean the sudo password prompt, but the message "Will be downloaded and configrated XXX Kb, continue?" (or something similar)  Why? I am learning basics of the category theory (CT).  I do understand that CT is a modern powerful framework to describe various branches of mathematics in a unified way.  I do admit that category's definition tells a lot about the whole thing and focuses on the most important properties, shadowing unnecessary details. However, the more I go forward, the more it feels like it should explicitly require a notion of morphisms equality (like it does with morphism composition). It feels so because equality or inequality of morphisms arises everywhere, since the very beginning: any commutative diagram eventually reduces to an equality of two different paths and many other things involve equality as well. Even composition is defined grounding upon an (implicit) equality!  I'll try to give an example of my concern. Consider $\mathbb{SET}$. Its objects are sets and morphisms are functions. Now, let's recall that functions are sets as well - to be more precise, a function $f : A \mapsto B$ is a subset of a $A \times B$ obeying certain properties, which I omit. Thus, one could argue that $f$ is both a morphism between objects $A, B \in Obj(\mathbb{SET})$ and an object defined as a set of pairs $\{ (a_1 \in A, b_1 \in B), ..., (a_n \in A, b_n \in B) \}$ and those are equal because both are essentially exactly the same thing.  I hope my concern is clear and I need some kind of "conceptual insight" from knowledgeable people to move forward. Please give me the right perspective. What is a Generic Handler in asp.net and its use? how to solve $\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{-x^2-x{\tau}} \cdot x\ dx$? I often find myself in the following position: I've started typing a long command at the bash prompt, but half-way through I find out I need to check something with another command. This is a problem when I'm at the console (no X), which is often the case, because then I only have the following unsatisfactory ways to do it, that I know of:    Hit ctrl+alt+F2 and log in on another virtual console, and find out what I wanted, then go back and continue  ctrl+a, type echo + space + enter, find out what I wanted, press ↑ until I find my command, ctrl+a, del x 5, ctrl+e, and continue  Highlight what I've typed so far with my mouse (if gpm is running, which it usually is), press ctrl+c to interrupt, find out what I wanted while being careful not to use my mouse to highlight stuff, then press middle mouse button on a new prompt and continue  Pray to the command line gods that the half-written command will have no adverse effects but simply fail, and gingerly press enter, then find out what I wanted, press uparrow until I get my command back, and continue  Jump into my time machine, travel back in time and remind myself to start screen before starting to type command, travel back to the present, press ctrl+a c, find out what I wanted, press ctrl+a ctrl+a, and continue   So what I want to know is, is there some more elegant way of doing this? A sort of subshell-command or similar?  I'm most interested in methods that do not require any preparations or setup to work. Fastest Gun in the West Problem I feel like there's a problem with Stack Overflow, as the number of people prowling it increases.  Each question's answers are sorted by descending score and then by descending time of posting. This means that if a person sits down and answers a question in a long, thorough way, going through every nook and cranny, once they post their answer, it will already be one of about seven different ones, some of which have already been upvoted. This wouldn't be a problem if those answers were as thorough as the one this guy's posting, but they usually aren't. Some of them are downright wrong, some aren't even answers to the question asked because their poster didn't bother to read the question all the way through.  This causes a problem I like to call Stack Overflow's Fastest Gun in the West Problem. I've come to a point where I'd rather just send a short, simple, correct explanation, than to go and do some proper research, write a whole blog post about it or even make sure the code I post even compiles, just so it will be noticed, as opposed to the incorrect ones.  I'm sure I'm not the only one doing this and that it despairs many people from even trying to answer questions.  I've long ago learned to try to always raise a problem with a solution in hand, rather than just say "This is a problem, handle it," so my question, after this long tirade, is:     How do you think this can be changed? What would you change in Stack Overflow to make this problem go away without hurting the site?   I promise to vote on answers I like, even if it takes you a long while to post them. :) Custom cursor in WPF? I want to use an image or icon as a custom cursor in WPF app. What's the best way to do it? Let $\mu$ be a general measure, suppose $f,g$ has compact support on $\mathbb{R}$, when does the integration by parts formula hold $$\int f'g d\mu = - \int g'fd\mu?$$ I know in general this is false, we can take $\mu$ to be supported on a point, say $0$, then it is not necessarily true that  $$f'(0)g(0) = -g'(0)f(0).$$  If $\mu$ is absolute continuous w.r.t. Lebesgue measure, we have $\frac{d\mu}{dx} = h$ $$\int f'gd\mu = \int f'gh dx = -\int f(gh)'dx$$ where $(gh)'dx$ might be a measure. but we can not recover the form $\int g'fh dx$.  Thank you very much! Why am I getting zero divergence of function $\vec{f} = \frac{1}{r^2} \hat{r}$, where $r$ is the distance from the origin and $\hat{r}$ is the unit vector in the radial direction. The divergence of this function over a sphere of radius $R$, which includes the origin.  $$\nabla \cdot f = \frac{1}{r^2} \frac{\partial}{\partial r}(r^2 f_r) = \frac{1}{r^2} \frac{\partial}{\partial r}(r^2 \frac{1}{r^2}) = 0$$
