problem in dual boot
Grub rescue prompt, repair grub
How can I completely remove a objects (e.g. particle system or groups used in particle systems) in blender using python?  The problem is this: I have a script, with which I create a scene (e.g. adding some normal objects and some group of objects with a particle system). For a research study I would like to repeat that that several times, without restarting blender. So I can create a scene, delete everything, e.g. with a script like this:  import bpy scn = bpy.context.scene for obj in scn.objects:     obj.select = True bpy.ops.object.delete()   If I rerun the script to recreate the scene with objects using particle system, the latter is not shown in the scene anymore (only the placeholders of the particle system). Now I'm not sure where exactly the problem lies, but I guess not everything is immediately deleted, running the script above. Only the startup of blender helps (but that's not what I want) or pushing the purge button. The purge button seems to start the command:  bpy.ops.outliner.orphans_purge()   But I can't get this piece of code to run in the console. It says that "the context is incorrect". Is there a way to purge the unused data by python script? Thanks a lot for any help. Why was my "shopping list" question closed? My question was closed for being a "shopping list question", even though it was very much related to the topic of the site. Why? Copy every 512 bytes and skip next 8 bytes from Input file to a Output file I have an input file which is always a multiple of 520 bytes . i,e Input file 1- 1040 bytes Input file 2- 5200 bytes   I need to copy every 512 bytes from input file and skip the next 8 bytes from input files to output file i.e Output file data = Copy first 512 bytes of input file - Skip 8 bytes - Copy second 512 bytes of input file- Skip 8 bytes --.. Therefore, my output file should always be multiple of 512 bytes Input file 1- 1040 bytes        Output file 1 - 1024 bytes Input file 2- 5200 bytes        Output file 2 - 5120 bytes  I need to do this in shell script, any help here please. @online bibliography biblatex Academic papers using Stack Exchange data Can you make a seismograph with an accelerometer? Actual seismograph electronics are very expensive. I'm just wondering if a seismograph can be made with a adequately semsitive accelerometer. To be exact I want to bury the accelerometer based seismograph and have it sense footsteps.  So is this possible and what method would you reccommend for my needs and why? Prove that if $f$ is a real continuous function such that $|f|\le 1$ then $|\int_{|z|=1} f(z)dz| \le 4$ I've encountered the following problem in complex analysis:  Prove that if $f$ is a real continuous function such that $|f|\le 1$ then $|\int_{|z|=1} f(z)dz| \le 4$.  I've decomposed $f$ to it's real and imaginary parts and got that it's enough to prove that:  $(\int_0^{2\pi}cos(\theta)g(\theta)d\theta)^2 +(\int_0^{2\pi}sin(\theta)g(\theta)d\theta)^2 \le 16$   Where $g(\theta)=f(e^{i\theta})$.   But now I'm stuck. Any ideas?  Thanks What is the difference between apt and apt-get? What are Squirrel Girl's 'actual' stats? Is she truly the most powerful being in the Marvel universe? On the  ("The Definitive online source for Marvel super hero bios") Squirrel Girl is listed as having the maximum stats in her .  However in the  ("Comprehensive and exhaustive") she's listed as having lower stats.     Which one is correct and why is there a discrepancy? Schengen visa validity start date My Chinese in-laws intend to visit us in one month from now. Their visa is valid from Nov 23rd. Would it be possible for them to take the airplane on November 22nd in China and arrive in Schengen area on November 23rd?  Or does the visa already have to be valid upon departure?  In our particular case, they still need to transfer in Beijing first. The actual flight to Schengen zone effectively only departs on the 23rd so I guess that should be completely fine then? Displaying intersecting roads and creating multiple labels for long roads in QGIS? I am new to GIS and I am using QGIS 1.7.3 on Windows.  Can any one tell me how to display a map from line shapefile with these two characteristics:   Roads are displayed with borders at the sides and intersect at crossroads Name label for long roads are duplicated at specified intervals   Here is the link to an image that illustrates my idea:    (The map was taken from underdark's blog)  This is the best I can achieve by drawing lines with two overlapping simple line, one slightly bigger than the other: Prove the following in $S_n$:  Let $\alpha = (a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_s)$ be a cycle and let $\pi$ be a permutation in $S_n$. Then $\pi\alpha\pi^{-1}$ is the cycle $(\pi(a_1),\ldots,\pi(a_s)).$     I'm not sure where to even start. How to create immutable objects in Java? Beginner Physics Resources? I'm interested in learning physics. I do realize that the subject is large and that it would be easier if I had a specific area of interest. However, I do not. I suppose I want to learn about the fundamentals of it all; the axioms that combine all physics fields. Or, in other words, a high school physics class.   Specifically, a book or series of videos would be helpful. I looked over MIT and unfortunately the material wasn't for me. I don't mean to be "picky" so I am not completely ruling out any resource just yet.   Thanks in advance. Why did Obi-Wan allow Leia to get adopted by such a high profile figure? I wonder whether it is possible to draw the three following quadric surfaces (cone, hyperboloids)  x^2+y^2-z^2=0  x^2+y^2-z^2=1  x^2+y^2-z^2=-1  (and the axis)   using pgfplots 3d or TikZ as it is done in the following image Show that all horses are of the same color. Im trying to understand the solution about this, and all the other solutions are.. a bit weird for me and dont answer all my questions!  Reference :   Im using the answer there as reference, but my understanding is a bit different!     Find the error in the following proof that all horses are the same   color. CLAIM: In any set of h horses, all horses are the same color.      PROOF: By induction on h.      Basis: For h = 1. In any set containing just one horse, all horses   clearly are the same color. Induction step: For k > I assume that the   claim is true for h = k and prove that it is true for h = k + 1. Take   any set H of k + 1 horses. We show that all the horses in this set are   the same color. Remove one horse from this set to obtain the set H1   with just k horses. By the induction hypothesis, all the horses in H,   are the same color. Now replace the removed horse and remove a   different one to obtain the set H2 . By the same argument, all the   horses in H2 are the same color. Therefore all the horses in H must be   the same color, and the proof is complete.   Here's what i have come up with :  Suppose a set of 1 horse. $H_a = { horse_{1} }$  Obviously, all the horses in set $H_a$ are the same, since theres just 1 horse.  So using that as the Basis of the induction we can proceed and try to prove its true for $N$ horses.  -- I dont fully understand the part below   As an example : set $H_0$ :   $H_0 = { horse_{1}, horse_{2}, horse_{3}... horse_{n} }$  In my understanding, its because, I can make a subset  formed by 1 horse :  $K_1  = {horse_{1}}$ $K_2  = {horse_{2}}$ ...  I don't get it. I clearly know that this proof is a lie.  And for me, its because you cant claim theres a relation on a set with size $&gt;= 2$ , since :  $H_1 = { horse_{1}, horse_{2}}$  Theres nothing that says $horse_{1}$ equals $horse_{2}$. The basis was for one horse. But that alone is not a proof.  So what should I do ? pgfplots and using axis cs to add points I am trying to mark two inflection points using a foreach loop in a pgfplot, but it isn't working.  \documentclass[tikz]{standalone} \usepackage{pgfplots} \pgfplotsset{compat = 1.10}  \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}   \pgfmathsetmacro{\infx}{1/sqrt(2)}   \pgfmathsetmacro{\infy}{exp(-.5)}   \begin{axis}[     xmin = -3,     xmax = 3,     ymin = -0.1,     ymax = 1.05,     domain = -4:4     ]     \addplot[blue, samples = 500, smooth] gnuplot {exp(-x^2)};      \foreach \x/\y in {\infx/\infy, -\infx/\infy}{       \draw[red] (axis cs: \x, \y) circle[radius = .025];     }   \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture} \end{document}   I am being told:  Undefined control sequence.^M &lt;argument&gt; axis cs: \x ^M                        , \y ^M l.34   \end{axis}^M Let $\varphi:G\rightarrow H$ be a group homomorphism from group $G$ to group $H$.
