How can I install Ubuntu without removing Windows?
How does negation affect the use and understanding of "or" and "and" I'm trying to make more sense of how negation effects how a sentence is parsed and understood if and's and or's are used within them.  Pop quiz: You are trapped on a bus with a bomb going 50 MPH. You have a radio... (okay enough Keanu Reeves references) :-)  Let's say the bomb expert says "Don't cut the red or green wires." I think that means "Do not cut the wires colored red. Do not cut the wires colored green."  Now, let's say the bomb expert said on the radio "Do not cut the red and green wires", instead. Do I take that to mean:     "Do not cut the wires colored red. Do not cut the wires colored green."   OR     "Do not cut the wires whose insulation has red and green stripes." ?   OR     "It's okay to cut the wires colored red or the wires colored green, as long I don't cut one of each color."   Which meaning should I take if the radio breaks and I can't ask follow up questions? Is there a way to get the name of the currently executing method in Java? Non-uniform distribution of p-values when simulating binomial tests under the null hypothesis I heard that under the null hypothesis the p-value distribution should be uniform. However, simulations of binomial test in MATLAB return very different-from-uniform distributions with mean larger than 0.5 (0.518 in this case):   coin = [0 1]; success_vec = nan(20000,1);  for i = 1:20000     success = 0;     for j = 1:200         success = success + coin(randperm(2,1));     end     success_vec(i) = success; end      p_vec = binocdf(success_vec,200,0.5);     hist(p_vec);   Trying to change the way in which I generate random numbers didn't help.  I would really appreciate any explanation here. How to get IOS "tossing feature" in Wolfram IOS Player to work in Mathematica The characteristic and minimal polynomial of a companion matrix of a monic polynomial $f \in \mathbb F\left[x\right]$ in $1$ variable $x$ over a field $\mathbb F$ plays an important role in understanding the structure of finite dimensional $\mathbb F[x]$-modules.  It is an important fact that the characteristic polynomial and the minimal polynomial of $C(f)$ are both equal to $f$. This can be seen quite easily by induction on the degree of $f$.  Does anyone know a different proof of this fact? I would love to see a graph theoretic proof or a non inductive algebraic proof, but I would be happy with anything that makes it seem like more than a coincidence! counting with max and min restrictions $$x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 = 10$$ But $x_1 \ge 1$ and $x_2 \ge2$.  Finally, $x_1&lt;6,  x_2&lt;6, x_3&lt;6$ and $x_4&lt;6$.  I started off by finding the total amount that you can get for the original equation. That would be $C (13, 3)$. Then i calculated for the cases of numbers being greater than or equal to 5. I dont know how to incorporate $x_1\ge1$ and $x_2\ge2$. Any help?  $x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4$ are all integers that could be >= 0(But $x_1$ and $x_2$ have their own restriction). Evaluation of Differentiation and Integration I was having some thought about what would be the syntax to make the end point evaluation of derivatives or integrals. Such as making the | with the two end points of evaluation on the top an bottom of the line. Any suggestions would be wonderful. Converting date to specified format and two date comparisions A term for words that change pronunciation with part of speech I'm talking about words like:   construct: CON-struct(n.), cun-STRUCT(v.) present: PRE-sent(n.), pre-SENT(v.) record: RE-cord(n.), ri-CORD(v.)   They are pronounced differently based on whether they are a noun or a verb.  Here are the terms I DON'T think would apply:   Homograph: same spelling, different meanings: for example, bark (the sound of a dog) and bark (the skin of a tree). Homophone: same pronunciation, different meaning: for example, to and two Homonym: same pronunciation and spelling, different meanings: for example: bank (river bank or savings bank) Heteronym: same spelling,  different pronunciations and meanings: for example bow (the front of a ship) and bow (a ranged weapon)   Bow is particularly interesting. It is a heteronym based on the two nouns I described. But in the sense of the body movement, the noun and the verb are pronounced alike (rhyming with wow), thus, not belonging to the category I've explained.  In fact none of the terms explained  satisfy my requirement.  I'm looking for the term for words that have same (or related at best, NOT different) meanings, same spelling and different pronunciation.  Specifically, different pronunciation depending on the part of speech. As against the words which have the same pronunciation in different parts of speech like bill, turn, case (or bigger ones like manoeuvre)  TL;DR:  Fill in the blank:     The noun and verb forms of construct are pronounced differently   because the word construct is a _____   or      The noun and verb forms of construct are pronounced differently   because they are _____s. Can you filter out certain SE sites from the hot questions list? Is it possible to filter out Stack Exchange sites from the hot questions list? Why are we using the squared residuals instead of the absolute residuals in OLS estimation?  My idea was that we use the square of the error values, so that residuals below the fitted line (which are then negative), would still have to be able to be added up to the positive errors. Otherwise, we could have an error of 0 simply because a huge positive error could cancel with a huge negative error.  So why do we square it, instead of just taking the absolute value? Is that because of the extra penalty for higher errors (instead of 2 being 2 times the error of 1, it is 4 times the error of 1 when we square it). My interest in Blender comes from wanting to use it to model physical structures and produce architectural drawings; what I have so far is really impressive, but there doesn't seem to be too much information about my particular interest.   Are there any (Blender-) resources that would be particularly useful for architects? E.g. packages of standard 'elements' like windows, doors, roofs or whatever, or perhaps a discussion group specifically for architects? bash regex with quotes? Bound for the correlation of three random variables Prove that $\mathbb{Z}[\omega]$ is an integral domain Whenever Ubuntu boots up, a dialogue pops up asking me to unlock my default keyring. Is there some way this can unlock automatically through PAM or some other magical way? How can I compute $\mathrm{Aut}(\mathbb{Z}/4\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}/6\mathbb{Z})$? In the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry and Lupin could practice the patronus on the boggart, but when Harry was in the final task in the Goblet of Fire, he tried to use the patronus on the boggart, it didn't work and he then moved on to use ridikkilus.  Why could he use a patronus against the boggart, but then not in another? Where are Steam games installed? I want to buy a new notebook in the near future to play games on it. I'm looking forward for the new Steam for Linux client. My question is that where does the Steam install the games, on the home partition, or in the usr folder, or somewhere else? I do not use pre-release (i.e. beta) versions of either Steam or Ubuntu. Stack Overflow has HTTPS in some places! However, this breaks most existing image links. Could those be made protocol-relative, or react to the requesting protocol, or just always use HTTPS?  The same applies to .sponsor-tag-img.
