Debugging using Nvidia Nsight 2.2 in Visual Studio 2010 Apt/Synaptic needs to reinstall package but can't find the archive for it Running Synaptic I get the following error message:  E: The package hl1440lpr needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.   Upon accepting the message, Synaptic quits. How can I add a new user as sudoer using the command line? After I add a user using adduser, I can't see it via System > Administration > Users and Groups unless I log out and then log in again. Is that normal?  Also, can I set a newly added user as a sudoer or do I have to change that only after adding it? How can I do that via the shell?  Finally, can I delete the original user that was created upon initial installation of Ubuntu, or is this user somehow 'special'? Does GTA V Online Network Merge Xbox 360 and PS3 players? How does the new automatic reference counting mechanism work? Help with proof that $\mathbb Z[i]/\langle 1 - i \rangle$ is a field. I have been having a lot of trouble teaching myself rings, so much so that even "simple" proofs are really difficult for me. I think I am finally starting to get it, but just to be sure could some one please check this proof that $\mathbb Z[i]/\langle 1 - i \rangle$ is a field. Thank you.  Proof: Notice that $$\langle 1 - i \rangle\\  \Rightarrow 1 = i\\  \Rightarrow 2 = 0.$$ Thus all elements of the form $a+ bi + \langle 1 - i \rangle$ can be rewritten as $a+ b + \langle 1 - i \rangle$. But since $2=0$ this implies that the elements that are left can be written as $1 + \langle 1 - i \rangle$ or $0 + \langle 1 - i \rangle$. Thus  $$ \mathbb Z[i]/ \langle 1 - i \rangle = \{ 0+ \langle 1 - i \rangle , 1 + \langle 1 - i \rangle\}. $$  This is obviously a commutative ring with unity and no zero-divisors, thus it is a finite integral domain, and hence is a field. $\square$ Pacman option to assume "yes" to every question? When installing software in debian systems we can put something like this:   sudo apt-get install -y chromium-browser  that way the installation occurs automatically, whitout asking to confirm installation [Y/n]. Can i do the same with pacman? Where's the BIOS on an Intel Mac? How to keep processes running after ending ssh session? Let's say I launch a bunch of processes from a ssh session. Is it possible to terminate the ssh session while keeping those processes running on the remote machine? How can I change the color of a part of a TextView? Seem to have lost 4 Silver badges and 10 Bronze badges Merging dictionaries in C# What's the best way to merge 2 or more dictionaries (Dictionary&lt;T1,T2&gt;) in C#? (3.0 features like LINQ are fine).  I'm thinking of a method signature along the lines of:  public static Dictionary&lt;TKey,TValue&gt;                  Merge&lt;TKey,TValue&gt;(Dictionary&lt;TKey,TValue&gt;[] dictionaries);   or  public static Dictionary&lt;TKey,TValue&gt;                  Merge&lt;TKey,TValue&gt;(IEnumerable&lt;Dictionary&lt;TKey,TValue&gt;&gt; dictionaries);   EDIT: Got a cool solution from JaredPar and Jon Skeet, but I was thinking of something that handles duplicate keys. In case of collision, it doesn't matter which value is saved to the dict as long as it's consistent. If $F:M\to N$ is a smooth embedding, then so is $dF:TM\to TN$. I need to configure my server to permit the http delete method.  currently, I get the following error when I attempt to make this call:    HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed Date: Mon, 11 Apr 2011 20:56:23 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.17 (Win32) PHP/5.3.5 Allow: GET,HEAD,POST,OPTIONS,TRACE Content-Length: 233 Keep-Alive: timeout=5, max=98 Connection: Keep-Alive Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1     I have searched far and wide and have not been able to come up with an answer as to how I can configure the server to allow this request.  Someone please help as it has put a stop to my project. Language hints for quoted code In  I tried to add  for syntax formatting to code blocks quoted from the question. However, it seems they won't be honoured if I write them as a comment in my own part of the post, and if I include the hint in the qutotation as well then I have some ugly empty space before the code block. There should be a way to write these things properly. When writing a book and referring to a female and male aged 18–25, what term would be most appropriate? Boy and girl seem too young, whereas man and woman seem too old.  Example sentence:     A boy/man emerged from the shadows.   Edit: I think the word I am looking for is similar to 'guy' but less American and colloquial. Any thoughts? What is the meaning of this senctence:Excellent answer. Delusions of grandeur. Folks have been institutionalised for less Can an atheist at least agree that existence is a mystery that is bigger than all of us?                                                       You’ve got it backwards. It’s religious people who try to fill the mysteries of the universe with beliefs based on nothing emprical. Where atheists say “I don’t know” religious people say “It’s God.” Atheists are comfortable with not knowing everything. They know humans are infinitesimal specks in the universe. Religious people think the entire universe was created for and about them. Talk about grandiosity. Comment:Delusions of grandeur.

Perfect set without rational numbers Sorry if this problem is repeated.  Is there a nonempty perfect set in $\mathbb{R}^1$ which contains no rational number?  Proof sketch: This set must be uncountable because any nonempty perfect set in $\mathbb{R}^k$ is uncountable.   We know that Cantor set (C) is perfect set on a line. If we take $E=C+\sqrt{2}=\{x+\sqrt{2}: x\in C\}$. Will this set be an answer to above problem?
