Turning off and on images in figures Is it possible to prevent the contents of a figure from being rendered? I have a large book document, and to speed up compiling while working on a draft, I would like to have some way of ignoring the content of the images, but ensuring that the figure size remains.  In several cases I am using a line like:  \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{figure.pdf}     so I do not know the actual size of the image. Partitions of $n$ into distinct odd and even parts proof If $f$ is a concave function and $f(0) \geq 0$ then $f(a+b) \leq f(a) + f(b)$ for all $a,b >0$ If you activated a free upgrade to Windows 10 or bought and activated   Windows 10 from the Microsoft Store, you have a digital license for   your device. This means you can reinstall the same edition of Windows   10 that your device has a digital license for without entering a   product key. During reinstallation, if you’re asked to enter a product   key, you can skip this step. Windows 10 will automatically activate   online after the installation is complete.   source:   Does MS digital license 'fingerprint' hardware information  during the free upgrade / activation and store it (at Microsoft) , so that the next re-install queries MS for the fingerprint and activates Windows 10?  Thought the disk drive may change, I expect that none of the other fingerprinted hardware will change. Why do a lot of questions from around 2008 seem to have really high upvotes? I have seen this a lot but i ran into this question today:    And the answer (while good) has 83 upvotes which seemed a little over the top.  I see dozens of answers of this caliber every week that only seem to get a few upvotes.    Was there some sort of SO policy that encouraged people to upvote more during this period?  Am I just imagining that answers from this period received more votes than comparable ones now? Can you find all classes in a package using reflection? Is it possible to find all classes or interfaces in a given package? (Quickly looking at e.g. , it would seem like no.) Is there a simple way to fill in a grungy font to make it solid? I'm looking to make the entire letter solid. I want to complete the grungy white space and fill it out with solid black. Is there a simple way to do this? Evaluating a PDF to find an unkown constant Evaluate the PDF to find K  $1 = \int_0^{\infty} \frac{k}{(1+x)^4}$  using u substitution I got:  $u=1+x$ and $du= dx$  $\int_0^{\infty} \frac{k}{u^4} \to \frac{k}{\frac{-1}{3} u^3}$   Since $u^4 du = \frac{u^{-4+1}}{-4+1}=$ $\frac{u^{-3}}{-3}$  which evaluating gives:  $1=\frac{k}{\frac{-1}{3(1+x)^3}} \vert_0^{\infty} \to \frac{-3k}{(1+x)^3} \vert_0^{\infty} = 0 -3k$   and $k= \frac{-1}{3}$  somehow though they came up with $\frac{-k}{3} \frac{1}{(1+x)^3}$ after integrating $\int_0^{\infty} \frac{k}{(1+x)^3}$   Was my approach correct to use substitution? Where does my work go wrong? Is "gift" accepted as a verb? I have always argued adamantly, as long as the issue has been around, that gift should never be used as a verb. However, someone whose English knowledge I quite respect disagrees.  I’ve done some searching and I haven’t found a consensus; should gifting be shunned? Let $A$ and $B$ be $n\times n$ matrices such that $ABAB=0_{n\times n}$.  Can we conclude that  $BABA$ must be  $0_{n\times n}$?   I fail to give a counterexample when $n=2$， so I guess the answer is "yes" In which scenario do I use a particular STL container? I've been reading up on STL containers in my book on C++, specifically the section on the STL and its containers. Now I do understand each and every one of them have their own specific properties, and I'm close to memorizing all of them... But what I do not yet grasp is in which scenario each of them is used.  What is the explanation? Example code is much prefered. How to Mount Guest DOS OS with HOST OS.? I am newbie to VM concept. actually i have installed DOS6.22 under virtualbox and using 32bit windows 7 OS as HOST Operating System, now i want to copy some folders/files from HOST OS to DOS6.22 Guest OS. how can i copy.? Find all polynomials $P:\mathbb{C}\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ such that $$P(x^2)=P(x)^2 .$$   Here is what I tried:  First, it is easy to see the constant solutions, namely $P\equiv 0,P\equiv 1$.  Let $r$ be a root of $P$ (i.e. $P(r)=0$). It follows that all terms in the infinite sequence $r,r^2,r^4,\dots,r^{2n},\dots$ are roots of $P$. To avoid a polynomial with infinite roots, we have to have the sequence be periodic. So it turns out that either $r=0$, or the roots of $P$ are roots of unity of degree $2n$ for some $n\in\mathbb{N}$.  In the first case, we get $P(x)=xQ(x)$. Plugging in, we get $$x^2Q(x^2)=x^2Q(x)^2\implies Q(x^2)=Q(x)^2 ,$$ i.e. that $Q$ satisfies the same condition as $P$.  In the second case, we have $P(x)=(x^{2n}-1)Q(x)$. Plugging in, we get $(x^{2n}-1)Q(x^2)=(x^{2n}-2x^n+1)Q(x)^2$. I was not sure how to proceed from here. Ubuntu installation is slow, why? How to "freeze" a cloth animation at X frame? How would one freeze a simulated body at frame X and use it as a static mesh?  Following a , I've been able to do a cloth animation to my model, now I'd like to have that made static, without the use of the timeline.   The thing is, I'm modelling something that's not going to be an animation, but a static object (something like a statue/figurine). So I don't need the animation, only the shape at a particular frame that I find convenient. I'd like eventually once this is done, to also modify that deformed grid.   I've tried to follow what was said , but couldn't figure out what chipmasque was saying. I'm quite new to blender (been using it on and off, just enough to forget everything).  I'm using blender 2.63, if it is of any relevance. biblatex in a nutshell (for beginners) Can you supply arguments to the map(&:method) syntax in Ruby? I am running Ubuntu 14.04 from Windows, using virtualbox 5.0. I tried several options to make size of Ubuntu in virtual box larger, but none helped so far.   I am using latest virtual box with latest guest add on installed. sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms virtualbox-guest-utils virtualbox-guest-x11 I went to Ubuntu 'software and Updates' and made sure that under 'Additional Drivers' tab, 'using x86 visualization solution...' is active. In virtualbox window, under view->virtual screen 1, all 'resize to' options are disabled.   None of these options helped. This is frustrating. Any comments or help? Can the problem be I am using 64 bit system? Does this problem occurs in earlier/later versions? If not, please suggest a 'good' version of Ubuntu for virtualbox. In The Dark Knight Rises, at the beginning of the film Bane kidnapped a guy from the plane, then he drew blood from the guy he kidnapped. And then throughout the movie I didn't see any news regarding this kidnap scene. But, before the end of the movie we find out that the guy kidnapped by Bane was Dr Pavel. Bane needed him to convert the fusion project into a nuclear bomb and Dr Pavel was the only guy who could have done it.   But I don't understand, why did he draw blood from Dr Pavel?
