When I enter orcsolar@sweb-5130(235) perldoc swish.cgi No documentation found for "swish.cgi". I tried this in the cgi-bin directory I have as well as the one located in the original place on the solaris server where I had copied it from. How else might I access this? I've tried HTML, HTML2, and HTML* and understand that they are dependent upon the library referenced. I always error exactly the same no matter which one I use : (Indexing Data Source: "File-System" Bad directive on line #14: IndexContents HTML* .html Bad directive on line #15: StoreDescription HTML* <body> 100000) . I am awaiting a call back from my isp. I am going to ask them: What version of swish do we have? What library does it use? Where is the perl documentation for swish.cgi -There is no swish-e directory that I can see on their server. They had the swish executable & the swish.cgi file sitting in their cgi-bin directory (/usr/local/libexec/cgi-bin/). I couldn't find any other swish files. I have perl5 installed in my directory. I remember running something callled rbsetup --perl which copied perl into my home directory. Could this be interferring with the library it is using? Maybe when they call it will help a bit. I do not consider myself too able in installing swish myself on the server since I can barely understand the documentation. (thru no fault of its own, I think) Anyways, just thought I 'd say where I'm at in case anything looks suspicious to you.

Then you may want to ask specifics about their system from them. Or, if swish-e in installed in /opt/swish-e/bin/swish-e: % ldd /opt/swish-e/bin/swish-e If you see a line like libxml2.so.2 => /data/_g/lii/local/lib/libxml2.so.2 then you know that swish-e was linked with libxml2. Or if "IndexContents HTML .html" works but "IndexContents HTML2 .html" does NOT work then you can probably assume that it's not linked in. Of course, if you have shell access, which I assume you do, there's no reason you cannot build and install swish-e from source. >All this came about because I am trying >to customize the swish that our isp gave us.

Like I sait the other day, you can use HTML instead of HTML2, or just use HTML* to have swish automatically select (but only IF you have a 2.2 version of swish-e installed. The descriptions are NOT limited to only the HTML2 parser -- that is you can still store and display descriptions without libxml2 installed. I would strongly recommend following the step-by-step instructions shown with perldoc swish.cgi. -- Bill Moseley mailto:email@example.com on Mon Nov 25 19:33:49 2002

Rabbi Menachem Greenblatt (St. Louis, Missouri) mentioned at s'uda sh'lishis (Shabas parashas "Ki Setze" 5772) that the correct name for Sunday is echad b(a?)shabas, as is written in k'suvos and gitin (see Shulchan Aruch, Even Haezer 126:3), even though the other days are referred to with ordinals (sheni et al.), and wondered aloud in passing why we say in the introduction to the shir shel yom "hayom yom rishon" and not "echad". Anyone have a reason (preferably sourced)?

Echad, Shtayim, Shalosh (Cardinal numbers)
Rishon, Sheni, Shlishi (Ordinal numbers)
Ordinal makes more sense to me: You are ranking (enumerating) the days, not counting how many there are.
But Bereishis mixes the two types - which is explained here: http://www.ou.org/torah/tt/5769/bereishit69/aliya.htm
"The day is called YOM ECHAD (cardinal number) rather than RISHON (ordinal number), because RISHON has meaning only if there is a SHENI, which there wasn't yet."
When you are davening, the second day does already exist, so you use ordinal numbers (as would be expected).
A get is different because you say "On day one of the week", which sounds OK. In contrast with davening the translation would be "Today is one day of the week", which could mean any of them, and really only makes sense when there is just one day.
So it seems to me that when the grammar allows it you copy the Torah, but when it sounds awkward you change it, (since it's anyway not a direct quote).
On day one, day one was not the first in a series of days, it was the one and only:
אֶחָד — "Echad" means "the only one" or "alone", not "one". Shema Israel: YHVH our God! YHVH is the only one! Or "Shema Israel! YHVH is our God! YHVH alone!". You cannot count God. As well as we cannot count water, fire, air, light. So He created light in the first and "only day" (Yom Echad) of creation. This is why today we say "Yom Rishon", because it is no longer Yom Echad "the only day of creation", is the first of the week.

I've been working on a game in c++ for about a week and a half, and I've been using SDL. However, my current engine only needs the following from whatever library I use:
- enable double buffering
- load an image from path into something that I can apply to the screen
- apply an image to the screen with a certain x,y
- enable transparency on an image
- (possibly) image clipping, for sprite sheets.
I am fairly sure that SFML has all of this functionality, I'm just not positive. Will someone confirm my suspicions?
Also I have one or two questions regarding SFML itself. Do I have to do anything to enable hardware accelerated rendering? How quick is SFML at blending alpha values?

ITScriptNet OMNI has the same great design features of ITScriptNet Batch and Batch Plus while offering solution designers a choice of three data transfer modes from the Dolphin terminal: Batch, RF, and Hybrid. In Batch Mode, data is stored until the user initiates a wired or wireless data transfer. In RF Mode, data transfers immediately over a wireless connection such as 802.11b or GSM/GPRS. In Hybrid Mode, data accumulates until a connection is made; then, all accumulated records are transferred automatically.
ITScriptNet OMNI takes advantage of wireless connections to use remote validation files, perform remote data lookups, and run remote scripts on the server. These features limit the number of roundtrips through the server, which means users spend more time collecting data and less time waiting for responses.
ITScriptNet OMNI expands out-of-box functionality with value-added features such as IrDA printing support, auto-generation of validation files, ActiveX controls, and support for external device input. ITScriptNet OMNI also enables you to print to Bluetooth or 802.11b printers.
ITScriptNet OMNI enables developers to harness the multifunctional data collection capabilities of Dolphin terminals, including keypad and touch panel input, 1D and 2D bar code scanning, and image capture. In addition, ITScriptNet OMNI delivers powerful programming tools such as VB Scripting, conditional branching, indexed validation files and pick lists, and data formatting support for text files, Excel, Access databases, and ODBC data sources.
With the power, flexibility, and ease-of-use of ITScriptNet OMNI, you can create a wide range of data collection solutions for inventory control, asset management, warehousing, retail, meter reading, document tracking, and production tracking.

*Update as of 7:30 p.m.*
The parking lot is empty and the doors are locked at the BCS Asian Market on the corner of Texas and Harvey Mitchell in College Station.
The health department shut down the asian market because of evidence of rat droppings in this corner of the store and they also found teeth marks on bags.
The stores owner, Lee Tran, invited us inside to explain.
Tran said, "Some bag was cut that look like this one, same thing, look like mouse dropping."
He admits to having some droppings inside the market, but he also says pest control comes every month.
"I think its 95% rice," Tran said.
We asked some shoppers what they think about the nine infractions that shut it down.
"I wasn't entirely surprised because its not the most clean place in the world," said one consumer.
Another consumer said, "I've seen rats and droppings and I mean, I wouldn't shop here and bring it home to my kids, that's for sure."
"I hope I'm lucky because I didn't notice any problems before, otherwise, I will not shop here," another consumer said.
Brazos County Health Department Inspectors forced the grocery store to close its doors for 24 hours initially on Wednesday, but when they returned a few hours later, the BCS Asian Market had reopened.
"Our goal is not to disrupt business for anyone, but we need to ensure the public's safety and health and welfare," Dr. Charles Williams, with the Health Authority said.
Local police got the store to close its doors, and now they have to pay a $1,000 fine.
Dr. Williams said, "We are working with Mr. Tran to determine when would be an appropriate time to open back up."
For now, their business forecast is not so clear.
The health department says they will be making a visit over to BCS Asian Market Saturday at 4p.m.
If they have one more issue, their permit to serve food will be taken away.
A College Station store is closed down by the Brazos County Health Department only to reopen its doors to customers despite the mandatory shutdown.
The BCS Asian Market on the corner of Texas and Harvey Mitchell was shut down by inspectors on Wednesday after inspectors found a plethora of pest problems. Fresh rat droppings in the bulk food area along with eight other infractions shut down the grocery store.
Inspectors say the droppings were fresh and that even bags of food were found with gnaw marks on them.
The store was forced to close its doors for 24 hours, but when inspectors returned a few hours later, the BCS Asian Market had reopened for business.
The Brazos County Health Department called in local police and got the store to close its doors. But instead of the original 24 hour mandatory closing, the store will now be closed until Monday morning and will have to a pay a $1000 fine.
We'll have more on this story Friday on KBTX News 3.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE - The Wheeling Hospital Ohio Valley Athletic Conference Class 2A boys basketball championship game was an instant classic.
And Wheeling Central Catholic's Justin Hammers got to play its hero.
With 3.3 seconds left Hammers put in a lay up off a backdoor cut to give the Maroon Knights a 52-50 lead over Steubenville Catholic Central.

TO THE LINE — Steubenville Catholic Central's Michael Carapellotti gets fouled while going to the basket in the first half of Saturday's Wheeling Hospital Ohio Valley Athletic Conference Class 2A championship game against Wheeling Central.
The Crusaders called timeout to set up a play, but their desperation down court pass was intercepted setting off a Maroon Knights celebration.
"I've got to give a ton of credit to my kids," said Wheeling Central head coach Mel Stephens. "We were down eight or nine, and got in a little bit of foul trouble, but they keep playing.
"We made plays when we had to, we got a few stops, made some big plays on offense when we had to, and were just able to hang around to have the ball in our hands at the end for the win."

TOTALS: 17-49 12-17 50. 3-pointers: Fletcher (3), Carapellotti, Herrington, Martello. REBOUNDS: 16 (Herrington 6, Fletcher 4). ASSISTS: 8 (Herrington 3). STEALS: 8 (Barber 3).
Added Tucker of the final pass, "That last play of the game was drawn up for an out-of-bounds play. Not having a timeout, I would have liked to call timeout and call something different because they did a good job of taking away a pass Brenton (Colabella) was going to.
"That puts my kid in a bad situation to have my kid throw the ball on the break, and that falls on me. In that situation, with no timeouts, I have to have them ready with a different play if they go to that, and, quite honestly, I didn't."
The play leading to the Hammers' bucket looked to be going the Crusaders way at its inception. The Knights' leading scorer, Chase Harler, started with the ball in his hands, but a Crusaders' double-team knocked the ball away from the freshman. Unfortunately for the Crusaders, the Maroon Knights regained control and got the ball to David Park who dished to Hammers for the game-winner.
"What we were trying to do was double him (Harler)," said Tucker. "We clearly hit the ball, it could have went our way, and it bounced the opposite way because our guy's adrenaline was taking him to the other side of the floor.
"So he (Hammers) slipped back door and scored."
Steubenville Central kept control of the game defensively in the first half, holding the Maroon Knights to just 17 points in the game's first 16 minutes. Harler was forced to sit for the final 3:45 of the first half after picking up his third foul, and Stephens took his team out of their normal man-to-man defense and switched to a zone.
"They're very deliberate," said Stephens. "Sean does a great job with those guys. They're very deliberate against the man, and we got in foul which made us switch to the zone, and that slowed them down a little more. I thought we did fairly well in the zone.
"I thought where they hurt us was where they kept it to one side for a couple passes and then reversed it to the other side.
"They were able to knock those shots down. We made a little bit of an adjustment in the first half to get keep our wing guys out on that, and in the second half we had to go with our bread and butter. You have to be able to guard people man-to-man, and we basically tried to come out and not let them take shots without a hand in their face, or let them dribble-drive to the middle. I thought we did a good job of that, and if you can rebound on top of that you're doing a good job."
At intermission Ryan Fletcher led the Crusaders with nine points, Harler had six for the Maroon Knights, and Steubenville Central led 22-17.
Wheeling Central pulled back within two entering the final quarter after falling behind by as many as eight the third stanza. Harler led a balanced attack with five points in the quarter. Fletcher kept his team in the lead with a 10-point quarter.
The fourth quarter saw the two teams swing at each other like heavyweight prizefighters until the score was tied again for the first time since 2-2 when the Maroon Knights' Brandon Wallace knotted the action at 45 with 2:41 remaining.
David Park hit a three for Wheeling Central to give his team their first lead if the game at 48-45. Zach Herrington tied the game back up at 48 with a three of is own, and Park took the lead back at 50-48 with another bucket with 49 seconds left.
Herrington followed his own miss and was fouled on the attempt at a put back. He stepped to the line and calmly knocked down both shots at the 28.4-second mark setting up Hammers heroics.
"Neither team quit," said Tucker. "It's about both teams. I've heard all week about Wheeling Central, Wheeling Central. Well we're Steubenville Central.
"We came down here to earn respect. That's what we came here to do. These kids worked so hard. There is a team that played against Wheeling Central and that is Steubenville Central.
"These kids played their hearts out today. The outcome of this game, I don't want to point fingers, the outcome of this game should be going to these kids behind me. They played their hearts out. There were a couple breakdowns, but that happens with high school kids. As far as it goes this is Steubenville Catholic Central, they played hard today."
Harlan led the Maroon Knights with an 18-point, 10-rebound performance. Park joined him in double figures with 12 points and added five assists. Wallace added 10 points and five boards.
Fletcher led all scorers with 21 points while adding four rebounds. Herrington scored 11 and pulled down six boards. The Crusaders had eight steals with Michael Barber snatching three and Michael Carapellotti swiping a pair.
The Crusaders now get ready for sectional play. They take on Strasburg at 8 p.m. Feb. 27 at New Philadelphia High School.
"I can tell you this; it made these kids really mad," Tucker said of the loss. "It made these kids really mad, and I feel sorry for whoever we have to play next and from here on out. That's the type of kids we have at Catholic Central.
"They're hard-nosed kids, they're hard-coached, they play hard for me, and we have a great staff that works hard."

The Village of Gays Mills lies in a valley among the steeply chiseled bluffs of the Ocooch Mountains located in the heart of the region known as the Driftless Area of Southwest Wisconsin. The area's unique topography is the result of escaping the land-flattening glaciers of the last ice age some 10,000 years ago, thereby earning the "Driftless" designation. Gays Mills also sits along the banks of the Kickapoo River which winds its way through the valley and gives the land its ambiance and appeal. The river also carried the area's first explorers and lured the first inhabitants.

WEIRTON - West Virginia lawmakers don't see a need to amend state code to specify what should be done with unspent tax dollars or equipment and properties purchased with them once a fire company disbands, saying that, with one notable exception, it hasn't been a problem in the Mountain State, Del. Randy Swartzmiller, D-Hancock, said Friday.
In December, after reviewing records for the now-defunct Weirton Volunteer Fire Department Co. 1, the West Virginia Legislative Auditor's Post-Audit Division said that in order to protect taxpayer interests, state code should be amended to force disbanded fire companies to return any unspent taxpayer dollars as well as assets purchased with those funds to the government entity that gave the money to them.
The auditors, who reviewed Co. 1 records from 2008 through 2010, also recommended that legislators:
Spell out exactly what to do with properties, equipment or other items that were purchased with state, county or municipal funds once a squad is decertified.
Require disbanded squads to return any unexpended, unencumbered state funds as soon as they are decertified by the State Fire Commission.
The audit identified more than $24,000 in taxpayer funds that it said shouldn't have been spent by Co. 1 officers after the squad was decertified in 2007 and recommended that its officers repay the money and formally disband.
According to documents on file with the Secretary of State's office, the Co. 1 officers also were the officers of the nonprofit North Weirton Storage Rental and the Phoenix Society. In 2007 another squad, Weirton Heights Volunteer Fire Co. 3, changed its name to the Phoenix Society.
The Phoenix Society was administratively dissolved on Dec. 21.
The audit report comes more than a decade after city officials, concerned with liability issues and duplication of services, had sought to bring the city's three volunteer units under the direction of the city's paid chief. Co. 1 and Co. 3 refused, prompting the State Fire Commission to withdraw their certification in 2002. While the state Supreme Court of Appeals eventually reversed that decertification decision for technical reasons, even with their certification restored, they no longer had a fire district and could not respond to fire calls in West Virginia.
The two squads eventually struck a deal with the county and new city administrators to bring back one of the two squads, Co. 1, which continued to receive state fire protection funds until 2007 when the State Fire Commission, this time with written rules and procedures the court required in place, again decertified them.
The audit of the group's books for 2008-10 found that the Phoenix Society had used the state fire protection funds to cover a myriad of bills, including fuel and vehicle expenses, vehicle repairs, towing, vehicle cleaning, batteries, insurance, stamps, utilities, snow removal, a computer, mowing, business registration, batteries, car washing, clearing brush, toilet paper and paper towels, supplies, door installation and an office heater, none of which auditors said were allowable after decertification.
The audit team also noted the Phoenix Society had written 35 checks totalling $3,500 from the department's state account to North Weirton Storage rental, the nonprofit subsidiary organized by Co. 1, and that it continued to use the Co. 3 firehouse even after they were no longer in the firefighting business.
Co. 1 isn't the only squad in West Virginia taken to task for how it spent state funds: Audits of other volunteer squads from around the state over the past year found several had made questionable expenditures and it was recommended that they, too, reimburse the state. Several squads also were chastised for bad or non-existent recordkeeping, missteps not cited in the Co. 1 audit report.
Co. 1/Phoenix Society President Joe Stankiewicz said the Weirton squads had an accountant monitoring their books for them and insists the $24,000-plus in state money referred to in the audit had been received and spent before the state fire marshal's cease-and-desist order was issued in December 2007.
"Nothing was done wrong, everything was done according to state guidelines and they received services for their money," said Stankiewicz, who describes the Phoenix Society as a social organization. "The fact is, we kept the corporation alive after the initial shutdown ... but that money (cited in the audit) was for a previous time people had received services."
He also acknowledged it had been years since the squad responded to a fire call.
Swartzmiller, meanwhile, said the audit team's recommendations are non-binding, leaving it to legislators to decide whether action is warranted. He said other squads that are no longer serving the taxpayers have returned tax dollars and turned over equipment and property as a matter of course, so he sees no need to push amended legislation through.
His counterpart, Del. Ronnie Jones, D-Hancock, said he'd received a packet of information from Weirton resident Dave Cline, at the heart of the decades-old drama surrounding volunteer fire department funding in Weirton, "but I haven't had a chance to look into it yet."
"I'm not sure we need to do anything with it right now," he said. "I need to (read it) before coming to any conclusions."
Stacy Sneed, director of the legislative post-audit division, has said it's in the Legislature's hands.
"At this point we have no authority to go in and seize any funds," she'd said in a recent conversation. "That's why we're recommending to the Legislature that they put something in the code that requires fire departments to pay the money back."
But with the 2013 legislative session nearing an end, Swartzmiller, House Speaker pro tempore, isn't expecting action.
"(There's) only one case I've ever known of where it happened," he said. "If it was a problem I was seeing out there on a regular basis, I would say 'yeah, we need it.' But it's just like if somebody does something out on the road one time, it doesn't mean we should change road laws. Does the law need to be changed because it happens one time? I don't think so. It would be a knee-jerk reaction if we did."
Sneed, too, said she's not aware of any community other than Weirton where it's been a problem. When the Hookersville-Muddlety Volunteer Fire Department in Nicholas County closed, for instance, she said the squad turned over its remaining government funding and equipment without incident.
"Usually when a fire department loses its recognition or closes its doors, they release all of the equipment to the local jurisdiction whether that's a city or the county, and if they have outstanding bills, the (county) usually sells the equipment to take care of the (debt) and whatever is left is dispensed between fire departments and municipalities," State Fire Marshal Sterling Lewis Jr. agreed, adding he can't explain why Weirton was the exception.
"Most of the fire departments that lose their certification or close on their own, usually they're in debt pretty well and everything's taken care of at the local level," he said. "I really don't know what the problems were up there."
Stankiewicz said their firefighting equipment was dispensed to squads in faraway places: a pumper that had a lien on it ended up in North Carolina, while a ladder truck was sold to an Irwin, Pa., squad. One rescue truck ended up in the Susquehanna Valley (Pa.) and another on a sugar plantation in South America. A couple pieces are in New Cumberland, he said.
"And in all, the city spent over $2 million to replace equipment they'd said was surplus or duplicated," he said.
Dave Cline, the Weirton resident who's spent more than two decades tracking fire levy funding, said it makes his blood boil "to think somebody may have my tax dollars in their account and there's no way to get it back, no rules to say they have to give it back or that it can only be spent a certain way."
Cline, who previously served on council as well as the county commission, said he has boxes of documents and stacks of computer disks full of information on fire department funding that he gathered through freedom of information requests, lawsuits and civil complaints. "It's about fixing things for the future," he insists. "This is what happens if you don't fix it. We don't want it happening anywhere else."
Even the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals has chimed in, upholding a lower court decision ordering the Phoenix Society to surrender the deed to the old Co. 3 fire station in Weirton's west end to Hancock County commissioners, concluding that the property had been purchased with taxpayer dollars and as such ought to revert to the county since it was no longer being used for firefighting purposes.
The Phoenix Society had argued at the Circuit Court level that the $123,000 loan for construction of the west end station had been repaid 13 years later through a mix of its own fundraising and fire levy money.
The high court, however, noted there was "a paucity of evidence from either party ... concerning how much each contributed financially toward the construction of the fire station through the repayment of this loan ..." In their December opinion, the justices pointed out that the Phoenix Society had not supplied adequate documentation of how much money they'd generated through fundraising activities over the years or how they'd spent it.
"The record supports the conclusion that the county commission funded the purchase of the subject property, even though it never held actual title to the property," the justices opined. "... It cannot be said that petitioner should be allowed to retain the subject property, which was purchased with taxpayer dollars and which was to be used solely for firefighting purposes, when petitioner is no longer providing firefighting services, simply because the parties' agreement did not contain a reverter clause. Any other conclusion would penalize the public ..."
Stankiewicz, in fact, said early working documents had stipulated the volunteers would retain ownership of the land, but concedes that language was omitted from the final agreement with the county. He insists the squad sold part of its land holdings and used the money - upwards of $70,000 - to help pay for the $120,000 firehouse.
He also characterized the volunteer community's long-running dispute with Cline as a philosophical dispute that's really about "personalities, and how much of government we want in our lives."
"Government is everything to David (Cline), that's his problem," Stankiewicz said. "As long as government is doing it, that's OK to him. It's just David's way, the way he thinks government should be."
But State Fire Marshal Lewis, for one, said he doesn't have a problem with adding language to the state code to prevent what happened in Weirton from happening ever again.
"It's one of those things where it's done differently from county to county," he said. "It probably would be good to have a set process for when a fire department loses its certification, that way everybody statewide knows (what's expected). And if there's money out there like that, it needs to be returned to the state treasury."
Swartzmiller, though, said he's satisfied that most squads in West Virginia honor the spirit of the law as it is now written, loopholes and all, and characterized what happened in Weirton over the past decade as an aberration triggered by a long-running feud between Cline and the volunteers. He said the state would "get into a whole gauntlet of different problems" figuring out who should get what if squads are required to return property to the original funding source, though he did say there ought to be a mechanism to do a lockdown right away if a squad is decertified.
"What Co. 1 did up there prior to commissioners (interceding) was wrong," he said. "They tried to hide fire trucks, that's not how it should work. But that said, a redistribution back to taxpayers (wouldn't resolve anything). To my knowledge, it hasn't happened since then. It was a one-time deal and the equipment was recovered, it was redistributed. There wasn't an issue until they ... got audited."
Cline said lawmakers tried to eliminate the loophole several years ago but the measure didn't make it out of committee.
"It needs to be approved so it's in all counties, so there's no confusion and taxpayer rights are protected," Cline said. "Most of the time it's not going to be a problem, but for the one's where it is ... it would be a way for taxpayers to get their money or equipment back. The driving point for me is if my delegates don't do something, they're giving $25,000 (in tax dollars) away. If they don't fix it, shame on them. ... The effort should be made to make sure the law gets changed so it never happens again."
Swartzmiller said it's unlikely at this late date that they'd ask the squad to refund the money, pointing out that after 10 years with no income, "it would be hard to get blood out of a turnip."
"They've been completely dissolved," he said. "I think everything we could get we've (already) got back.
"Ultimately, at the end of the day (the system) worked," Swartzmiller added. "The Supreme Court upheld (the county's position) and the (fire house) is going back to the county commission. ... At the end of the day, the taxpayers didn't get cheated: The equipment is out there with other departments, and the Supreme Court ruled a private entity couldn't end up with the property, so it's going back to the county commission."

Solving $x\partial_x f = 0$ over 'normal' functions is the same as solving $\partial_x f = 0$, i.e. one gets $f(x)=c_1$ as the complete answer. But over distributions (if my calculations are correct), $$ f(x) = (c_2-c_1)H(x)+c_1 $$ is the complete solution (with H being the Heaviside step function). For another comparison point, $x^2\partial_x f=0$ has solution $$ f(x) = (c_2-c_1)H(x)+c_1+c_3\delta(x) $$ (with $\delta$ the Dirac $\delta$ function/distribution).
My main question: are my computations correct? Are these in fact the most general solutions? [I have 3 different arguments showing that these are indeed solutions, although I am not sure that any of these constitute proper proofs, the last time I did anything with distributions was almost 20 years ago].
Motivation: What I am actually trying to do is to get a differential equation for the density function for the Pareto Distribution (where 'distribution' here is used in a different sense). The only remaining problem is to properly take care of the 'jump' at $x_m$. The above should give me what I am missing to get there.

Will connecting several mic cables together impact the quality of the recording? Obviously with every additional cable there's an added risk of a loose connection, but assuming my cables and connections are good, is there a reason to avoid this?
migrated from avp.stackexchange.com Jan 27 '14 at 15:26
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
Every junction creates a point of high resistance, and alters the signal negatively. I don't know to what extent this affects audio quality, but in general it's best to use a single cable (barring the need to boost the signal power if the distance is really long).
While this is basically correct, and I know a few engineers that want to keep cable length as short and clean as possible, in my opinion the quality you lose by connecting two cables together (when good quality XLR cables with balanced signal are used) is of very little significance compared to the type of pre-amplifier you use and the rest of the equipment.
My experience has been that chaining cables together tends to raise the noise level, thereby reducing the signal-to-noise ratio. I try to avoid it whenever I can. It seems to get worse if I'm using an unbalanced cable or a poorly shielded cable. I haven't observed any difference using well-shielded balanced XLR cables.
However, use your ears, and your level meters - try it with just one cable, then try it with a chain of cables. See if you can hear a difference or see that the noise level raises. If you can clearly discern a difference, then you should avoid using such a chain.

I am trying to take 180 x 25 second exposures (changed down from 30 second ones) with say a 2 second interval, either with the internal Interval Timer or an external one. How would the menu read? Thanks to the previous reply to my first question regarding the same problem. On the 30 second exposure, the camera fired a shot and the green light flashed every 30 seconds for one hour or 100 shots.
Select shutter speed required in manual or check approximate auto shutter speed. In the menu select interval timing (camera date & time must be set) - go for "now" option it's easier. Select the interval period - this MUST - be longer than the shutter time - set number of intervals required and choose 1 shot per interval (experiment later!) that should work
First set your shutter speed to 25 seconds. Then go to Menu > Shooting Menu > Interval Timer Shooting to set it at 180 for the number for intervals you want. And you are done.
I give you a simple instruction, set 2sec for the interval time and then set the other parameters as 9999*9 no need for further calculation

7 Movies That Put Insane Detail into Stuff You Never Noticed
We've mentioned before how film directors occasionally go a little bit crazy when it comes to certain minor details, including ones that 99 percent of the audience are never even going to see. A horrifying amount of time and work go into things that will be forever unnoticed by everyone except a few members of the crew. So let's again take a moment to appreciate the awesomely obsessive ...
#7. The Lord of the Rings: Each Piece of Armor Has a Backstory
For any sci-fi or fantasy film, it's one thing to make the clothing and equipment look authentic onscreen, and another to add layers of detail that are physically impossible to notice, even if each frame of the movie is examined with a magnifying glass. For instance, in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, when you watched the massive Battle of Helm's Deep and the tens of thousands of bad guys storming the fortress, did you notice the handcrafted chain mail they were wearing?
If Michael Bay had directed this film, all those Uruk-hai would be explosions, and Helm's Deep would be a pair of tits.
What's that? You didn't, because it was a massive crowd and the entire scene was filmed at night, in the rain? And because the mail is what they were wearing under their armor, so that only a few inches of it shows even if you freeze-frame on an individual soldier?
Even that codpiece is Orc-accurate. Trust us.
Well, that chain mail that you didn't notice, that you couldn't have noticed, was created by the costume department by hand, link by link ...
... pinched finger by pinched finger ...
... working for two straight years, without stopping. They made 6 miles of the stuff (32,000 feet of it) this way, to lay unseen under the armor of the warriors of Middle-earth.
However, to truly appreciate the completely unreasonable level of detail director Peter Jackson insisted upon, you need to look at all of the armor and weapons featured in the films. Each race has specific traits and customs, and then within those races, each family has their own designs that are reflected in the equipment they wear. To quote the article sourced above:
Freeze on a scene in the Elf land of Rivendell and appreciate the bronze detailing of Legolas' quiver, crafted with the lost-wax process. Pause in an Orc battle scene and notice the varieties of helmets, some representing a family's standing within the Orcan culture, others illustrating that Orcs were scavengers who gathered armor and weapons that were dropped on battlefields. Stop on a closeup of a Dwarf and observe the belt buckles with squarish, angular designs that reflect Dwarven architecture.
His loincloth celebrates the proud Orcan tradition of covering your junk with filthy rags.
All right, let's just take a look and judge for ourselves. For starters, here's Legolas' quiver, which you might briefly have noticed during some blurry split-second shot of his back:
We don't own furniture that well-crafted.
OK, that is admittedly a ton of detail, but that's for a main character. Legolas probably has six hours of screen time in the entire trilogy, of course you would want his gear to look great. But the idea that the Orc armies all had different armor that represented "a family's standing within the Orcan culture"? Why? Because Peter Jackson is insane, that's why. Behold what the masses of anonymous arrow fodder were wearing:
Are those jaw guards Chanel?
Most of these ended up issued to New Zealand's military.
More than 48,000 pieces just as detailed as these were made for the first film alone, to please the four people in the audience who would notice/care. And even crazier, each one of these helmets has a backstory like a G.I. Joe filecard -- rough leather and cracked metal for Orcs of low standing, long and misshapen for Orcs with (more) physical deformities; light helmets for scouts, and heavy bladed ones for berserkers. All this effort just to be strapped onto an anonymous stuntman as he sprints toward a bludgeoning with prop swords.
They also crafted 10,000 hand-forged Orcish belt buckles that are virtually impossible to see in the middle of a sprawling CGI-enhanced melee. People don't even notice belt buckles in real life unless they're hanging out at the Double Deuce, so they can't be serious about that "squarish, angular design" nonsense about Dwarf belts.
Sean Bean can't even see Gimli's belt, and he's in the damn movie.
And here is where you find out that Hollywood costume people are out of their goddamned minds. Another example ...
#6. Coraline: The Clothes Were Hand-Knitted With Tiny Needles
We know what you're thinking: Of course stop-motion movies put insane effort into detail. Filming those things takes like 20 months, because you have to move each miniature by hand to shoot a single frame at a time, typically finishing an entire day with only a few seconds of the movie actually filmed.
"Well, it took nine days, but we've successfully animated four blinks."
And yes, you're right, 2009's Coraline was no less of a pain in the ass to make, but for many more reasons than just the simple tediousness of frame-by-frame animation. For instance, there's the clothing. Sure, if you wanted a little sweater for the Coraline miniature to wear, you could, oh, go buy some doll clothes ...
"Just glue some stars on a Barbie sweater, there's a cocaine buffet at the craft service table!"
... or you could have the production staff hand-knit each individual stitch in each piece of clothing. And by "production staff" we mean a single person. Althea Crome made every article of clothing you see in the movie, using knitting needles as thin as human hair. You can watch the process if you want, because holy shit.
Someone get this woman the world's smallest violin!
"When we're done filming, this will help some poor gecko survive the winter."
Althea Crome hand-made (fingertip-made?) every last costume change for every last character:
Indiana Public Media
Yes, those are made to fit a doll's goddamned fingers.
She even made undergarments, which generally speaking nobody can see:
Blue, Green, Orange
But it's nice to know those dolls never suffered from the cold.
If for some reason that doesn't blow your mind, consider some of the more extravagantly dressed characters in the film, and realize that one solitary lady sat for hours in a room sewing fucking pockets onto a 10-inch doll's jacket.
But what a jacket.
#5. V for Vendetta: The Letter "V" Is Hidden Everywhere
Last time, we mentioned Edgar Wright's obsession with cramming numbers into the background of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. But he certainly didn't invent the idea; the letter "V" and the number "5" ("V" being the Roman numeral for "5") are hidden in almost every frame of V for Vendetta.
You probably noticed the more blatant ones:
It's in the part that's exploding.
But some of them are subtle. For example, when we first see them, the characters Creedy and Finch are separated by a "V," foreshadowing what happens later in the film (Creedy wants to stop V, while Finch eventually decides to help V):
Also foreshadowing: One of these men is going bald.
When Natalie Portman wakes up in V's bachelor dungeon, she has a tiny cut on her head in the shape of a "V":
The character Gordon has a contraband Quran lying open on a pedestal. When books are open on a dais, they're typically flat, but not in this movie, sir:
You just got V'd in the F.
There's also a "V" prominently displayed in the hands of the clock behind the evil talk show host in every single frame of his program:
Also, he has the world's most punchable tie. Just thought we'd bring that up.
During the final fight, V throws two daggers at a time, which cross over each other in a "V" shape:
And then the daggers form five distinct "V" shapes while spinning through the air:
Because the symbolism here wasn't clear enough.
Then, Creedy fires exactly five shots at V, leaving a "V"-shaped bloodstain on the wall.
But, hey, you're perceptive. You probably caught all of that the first time you saw it. OK, so let's take it down to another level:
There's Evey's (Natalie Portman's) name: "E" is the fifth letter of the alphabet, "V" is the fifth letter if you're counting backward and "Y" is the 25th letter (five squared). Finch, who later helps V, has exactly five letters in his name. When V attacks the villain Creedy (whose name is also replete with "E"s and "Y"s), Beethoven's 5th just happens to be playing in the background.
Also? His hat brim makes a "V." And there are five "V"s on the wall behind them.
But wait, it gets even more obscure. V's favorite phrase is "By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe," which translates into Latin as "Vi veri veniversum vivus vici," or "five goddamned words that all begin with 'V'."
Finally, in what is perhaps the most mind-blowing detail of all, one of the film's major characters is actually named V.
#4. Shaun of the Dead: Full of Zombie Easter Eggs
Shaun of the Dead is an unapologetic homage to every zombie/horror movie and video game ever made. If you've seen it, you probably already know that there are hidden jokes throughout (for example, if you listen carefully to the news reports that play in the background, they mention things like the Rage virus from 28 Days Later and a crashed probe from Night of the Living Dead). But that's barely scratching the surface, so let's move past the obvious references and go straight for the "so impossibly obscure they shouldn't have bothered" stuff.
There are 170 Easter eggs in this frame alone.
For instance, when Shaun walks into a local shop to buy an ice cream, you can faintly hear the DJ on an Indian music station announce that the dead are coming back to life ... in Hindi.
And hey, remember the restaurant Shaun tries to book a table at, the one that you can't read the name of unless you pause it like we did? It's called Fulci's, a reference to famed Italian horror director Lucio Fulci.
It's a little known fact that Fulci was a giant sentient fish.
And Mary, the zombie in the garden that gets impaled on a pipe? If you freeze-frame at exactly the right moment, you can see from her name tag that she works at a place called Landis, which is a reference to An American Werewolf in London director John Landis.
Don't feel bad, it took us like five or six times, and you can still barely read it.
Did you ever wonder why Shaun owned so many vinyl records and had such a predilection for techno music? Well wonder no more, because if you look over Shaun's shoulder during this scene, you'll see a poster that says "Shaun Smiley Riley" on it, alluding to the fact that Shaun used to be a DJ, as well as telling you his full name, something that is never mentioned in the film itself (although it is referenced in a deleted scene).
Never referenced was Nick Frost's character's former career as Nick Frost.
Throughout the scenes where the cast is holed up in the Winchester, you can hear zombies clawing steadily at the windows. Although this easily could have been done in the sound mix in postproduction, Edgar Wright had extras stand outside and actually paw at the windows for several days, because realism.
But the ultimate act of attention to detail comes in the very first scene: When Ed and Shaun are having a drunken conversation after Shaun gets dumped by his girlfriend, Ed actually reveals the entire plot of the film:
A bloody Mary [Mary the garden zombie] first thing, a bite at the King's Head [Shaun's stepfather is bitten], couple at the Little Princess [meeting David and Diana at Liz's flat], stagger back here [pretend to be zombies] and bang ... back to the bar for shots [the final scene at the Winchester, where they shoot their way out].
Ironically, Ed was unable to see this coming.

text: Message from the Dean: How we're raising the bar How does one educate outstanding, reflective practitioners? The legal academy has been grappling with that question for decades. We know that a great law school combines theory and practice. And we also know that a law school can truly excel when it's embedded in a comprehensive national research university that's on the move. Last, but hardly least, we know that a premier law school can set a new standard and model exemplary behavior by adapting to change. Since we opened our doors, we have offered an exceptional and accomplished faculty, a challenging curriculum and a variety of experiential learning opportunities in a vast range of practical settings. We have more recently launched offerings that include an accelerated 2-year JD option, an LLM and a Master of Legal Studies program that will serve those interested in developing a knowledge base that will serve them in the rapidly growing compliance arena. We have also implemented a professional practice requirement for all JD students. To support our students' efforts to launch their professional networks and find jobs, we created a Professional Development Fund that provides each with up to $250 toward the cost of bar association dues, registration for career fairs, CLEs and other activities. Fortunately, we are located in Philadelphia, amid a legal community unmatched in richness and quality. The Kline School of Law students engage with practicing lawyers through cooperative education and pro bono programs. Our curricular concentrations in Business and Entrepreneurship Law, Criminal Law, Health Law and Intellectual Property Law mirror the strengths of the bar and our region's economy. In a few short years, we've assembled an outstanding faculty, all deeply engaged scholars and impressively accomplished practitioners. Alongside law students and staff, our professors have created a real sense of community. Our peers in the legal academy have acknowledged the excellence of scholarship produced by our faculty, as reflected in the fact that the Association of American Law Schools approved our membership just five months after we received full accreditation from the American Bar Association. Every day, our commitment to raising the bar grows stronger. If you want to know more about our approach, I invite you to contact me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.

So it is relatively easy to show that there exists only one smooth structure on the real line $\mathbb{R}$. So here are 2 natural questions:
Q1: Up to equivalence, is there only one real analytic structure on $\mathbb{R}$? If so, then do we have a simple proof of that?
Q2: Where can I find the simplest proofs that there exists only one smooth structure on $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $\mathbb{R}^3$?
So I've heard that on $\mathbb{R}^4$ there are infinitly (in fact uncountably) many non-equivalent smooth structures, so what about real analytic strucutres? Is there some kind of moduli space of smooth structures on $\mathbb{R}^4$. if so, in how many ways is it possible to deform a smooth structure into a real analytic one?

We're going to "The Show"!
2011's event at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center was all about "Going to The Show." That's baseball lingo describing the storied leap from the Minors to the Major Leagues, and all the excitement, anxiety, hard work and joy involved in achieving a long-sought dream.
Dream Gala guests entered the cocktail/silent auction reception area through our signature "Nationals Arch" framed with dreamy white curtains, palm trees and other Hollywood touches. The guests were later ushered into the Maryland Ballroom, passing through a fanciful movie theater entrance complete with custom-designed coming attraction posters featuring our stars ("Mr. Werth Goes to Washington"; "Livan Los Vegas"; "Some Like the Hot Corner" to name a few!) The movieland décor extended to the ballroom where guests were seated at tables draped in silver lamé and topped with white orchids as spotlights cut through the misted ballroom. Fresh from a victory in a Beltway Battle with the Baltimore Orioles, The players and coaches made their entrance on an elevated red carpet with introductions by the MASN broadcasting team. Several players reminisced about their first game in the Majors in a short film which debuted at the gala on a giant video screen elaborately framed in the style of an old fashioned movie theater. Following the player introductions, guests were updated on the Dream Foundation's grants to local non-profits and the recent groundbreaking of the Washington Nationals Youth Baseball Academy. A video feature profiled ten recent Dream Foundation grantees and offered guests a glimpse into the various local organizations that work relentlessly to provide our children with recreation and education opportunities.
This year's event netted more than $350,000 which will benefit our cornerstone programs.

The Boston Conservatory Ranked Safest College Campus in Massachusetts
StateUniversity.com Annual Survey Analyzes Campus Crime Statistics
The Boston Conservatory, the nation's oldest performing arts conservatory, has been named the safest college campus in Massachusetts, according to research completed by StateUniversity.com, a leading website for college information. The annual rankings are based on reported incidents of crime on campus.
Each year, StateUniversity.com utilizes Cleary and FBI data to analyze 1,407 colleges and universities across the country to assign safety ratings. The ratings are based on reported campus crimes that include number of weapon occurrences, drugs, burglary, vehicle theft, arson, larceny, robbery, forcible and non-forcible rape, murder and non-negligent manslaughter, and aggravated assault.
"Since our campus is in an urban environment, the safety of our students is the highest priority and we work hard to ensure that procedures are in place so students can focus their efforts on learning," said Carmen Griggs, Ph.D, dean of students at The Boston Conservatory. "More importantly, the Conservatory fosters a strong sense of community where students look out for one another. This is critical to reducing incidences of crime on campus."
The 2013 rankings are compiled from crime reports submitted by college and university law enforcement between January 1 and December 31, 2012. Other schools listed in the top ten ranking for Massachusetts include Amherst College, The New England Conservatory, Fisher College, American International College, Mount Ida College, New England School of Law, Williams College, Holyoke Community College and Assumption College.

I know I'm a few days later on this, but, since Saturday's debate didn't bring anything quite so memorable, I wanted to find out what you thought about the situations that arose during last Wednesday's Republican GOP Presidential candidate debate.
For starters, Texas Gov. Rick Perry drew laughs - and incredulous criticism - when he couldn't remember the three departments he said he'd abolish if elected. He remembered two, then looked at Ron Paul, then looked at the moderators, then looked at his notes, then finally admitted, no, he could not name the third. On the one hand, I think many people can relate. Think of the times you knew the word you wanted to say or the name of a person or that event or fact -- and it just won't come out of your mouth! And for it to happen in such a public venue - yikes! On the other hand, the man is running for President of the United States and this is one of his major policy proposals and he can't think of it?! Yikes again!
Another item getting much discussion was Herman Cain's reference to Nancy Pelosi as "Princess." Some say he was simply making a point about how she tried to reign supreme over policies and debates. Others say it was a derogatory term to use for a woman who once held the third-highest position in the country. And yet another train of thought was that perhaps someone else could have gotten away with using the term to make a point, but not a man in the middle of sexual harassment allegations.
Speaking of those allegations, did you hear the audience boo when moderator Maria Bartiromo asked Cain a question about it? Those critical of the question said it was out of line because it was off-topic from the forum's focus on the economy. However, defenders say it would have been irresponsible to igore a situation that had so dominated the headlines in the days leading up to the event.
What did you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts on any or all of the issues!

I was looking at the Unity site, and I was a bit confused with the pricing. It says it's free, but for iOS/iOS Pro or Android/Android Pro. I need to shell out $400 minimum each. So if I want to develop with Unity for Android and iPhone, I need $800 to do this? (not saying that it's a lot of money, actually seems reasonable, just wondering)
At the time of this posting, the basic iPhone and Android licenses will cost a total of $800 along with the free version of Unity. For future reference, here are the Shop and License Comparisons:
Yes, the engine is free for Win/Mac/Web. But if you want to release on Android/iPhone you have to buy some extra license. But I agree with you. It is a bit confusing, because on the download page it says "Free Full Version for Windows with Unity Pro and Android." They don't mention that it is a 30 day trial. At least, that was the case some time ago...
There are certain restrictions in regards to commercialization of products that apply to the free version of Unity. I believe you are allowed to profit up to $50,000 for a product produced by Unity before you need to purchase additional licensing.
It is pretty steep to purchase Unity Pro and the additional add-ons if you are just starting out and your on a shoe string budget. There are also some student licensing options to consider. The student pricing is for annual licenses and they only cut the current prices down by half, which if you are planning to be developing in Unity for longer than two years it is not really worth it.
Best solution is to download Unity and get your game up and running to near perfection, then download the free trial and spend the next month perfecting your game on your platform of choice. When you have completed your test deploy and your trial runs out, your best bet is to decide whether to bite the bullet and purchase the license. If you decide to try your luck then you can try to recoup your investment by selling your application (400+ friends at 99 cents should do the trick), but there is lots of competition on the app stores.

Just Hand the Trophy to Barcelona Now
Indications Are That La Liga Has Already Found This Season's Titleholder
Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho spent his Saturday night fuming at the referee who denied his side a clear penalty and the incorrect linesman who cost him a goal. If either one of those calls had gone in his favor, then he almost certainly wouldn't have left Real Betis's stadium with a 1-0 defeat, Madrid's third of the young season.
And perhaps it would have made Sunday night a little easier on him, too.
Twenty-four hours later, Barcelona was parading around, knocking off milestones in yet another joyous rout, this one a 4-0 shellacking of sixth-place Levante.
Basking in its own glory, reinforcing its own faith in the Barcelona way, the Catalan club fielded 11 graduates of its famed youth academy at La Masia to match the best start ever by a La Liga side—12 wins and one draw.
More important, Barcelona stretched its lead over Real Madrid, the other contender in Spain's perennial two-horse race, to 11 points.
Now, barely a third of the way through the 38-game La Liga season, the race in Spain may already be over—no matter what the more diplomatic players have to say about it.
"The difference with Madrid is certainly not definitive," Barcelona defender Gerard Pique said after Sunday's game. "You can never count Real Madrid out."
The past five years suggest otherwise. Since 2007, Spain's leader after 13 games—inevitably Real or Barcelona—has gone on to lift the La Liga trophy five months later.
At this point last year, for instance, Real led by six points and went on to win by nine. The three seasons before that, it was Barcelona nosing ahead at the 13-game mark and you can guess what happened in each of those.
Mourinho's analysis of the situation was more confounding than anything else, but he seemed to accept the possibility Saturday night that Barcelona could run away with the title—just as his own team threatened to do last spring when it led by as many as 13 points.
"Last season we had 10 more points than our opponents in March and then we drew twice and the situation became more complicated," he said, referring to Real's 2011-2012 run to the title. "Maybe at the end of the year we are 11, 13, nine, eight or 12 points behind. We are not going to be four, five or three points behind."
"But let's not be too optimistic or too pessimistic," Mourinho added.
Wherever Real ends up will depend heavily on whether it can turn around its form on the road where it has performed like a sputtering caricature of its normally fluid, freewheeling self.
Within the confines of the Bernabeu Stadium, Real is undefeated and has outscored opponents 20-3 in six games. Away from home, the club has lost three of its seven games, conceding more than twice as many goals.
Of course, Real was the last team to overcome a deficit after the unlucky 13th round of games, but the circumstances were friendlier then.
In 2006-2007, Real Madrid trailed Barcelona by a single point in December and finished the season level on points. Real only won the league on the strength of its head-to-head record.
Predictably, Barcelona manager Tito Vilanova insisted that the club wasn't clearing space in the trophy cabinet just yet.
"We still have 75 points left to play for and Atletico Madrid is only three points behind us," he said. "We have a long way to go."
Indeed, Real's crosstown rival is lurking in second place, though it probably doesn't have the depth to maintain a serious challenge into the spring.
Still, in the short term, Atletico could keep creating problems for Real as early as this weekend when the two clubs meet in the Bernabeu Stadium for the Madrid derby.
Although Real has won the last seven home games against its neighbor in red and white, Atletico is more dangerous than it has been in years.
Its biggest weapon, the Colombian striker Radamel Falcao, is one of only three players to have bagged 10 goals already in La Liga this year, joined only by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
So with 25 games left to play and Barcelona showing no signs of slipping up any time soon, Mourinho could be forgiven for shifting his attention to more promising competitions, like the Champions League, where Real Madrid has booked its spot in the second round.
After all, that's what then-Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola chose to do last year when a late-season defeat in the Clasico left his side seven points adrift.
Mourinho, however, maintained that he could do no such thing, at least not now—Guardiola had made his decision in April, not November.
"It's complicated, but I can't focus on just one competition," Mourinho said. "It's impossible. I think from one match to the next and the next match is the Spanish Cup, then La Liga and then it's the Champions League.
"But at this point last season our fans were optimistic, it's understandable that now they are pessimistic and think we can't go on to win."

Is there a way for me to run Adb shell as root without typing in
su? I want to be able to have root access without going into the shell.
Is there a way for me to run Adb shell as root without typing in
If I'm understanding your question correctly, you're asking how to get root access automatically when you run
This is controlled by a flag in your boot partition, which most custom ROMs have modified to allow root permission by default. If you get dropped to a
Number 2 is actually not that difficult, but it can be somewhat dangerous if you're careless. There is a wiki article here which explains the process and includes a couple of Perl scripts to help you. These instructions assume a Linux/Unix environment. I have personally used these instructions on Fedora Linux and can tell you that they work, but I do not know about other *nix environments like Macs. I also do not know of any similar Windows instructions, but I could try to track some down if you are on Windows. The exact commands will vary somewhat from phone to phone since different devices use different partition tables.
Generally speaking, though, you need to pull your current boot.img from your phone, unpack it, extract the ramdisk, and find the default.prop file. This is a plaintext file, which you need to open in a text editor and then find the line that contains the value
Alternatively, if you are using a custom ROM but it doesn't have this modification, you can just unzip the ROM and modify the boot.img that is included with it using the above steps. Then you can zip up the ROM with the newly modified boot.img and flash the zip file as you normally would.
This probably goes without saying, but be careful when doing this. Messing with your boot partition can quite easily wreck your phone and force you to recover via HBoot. I would highly recommend testing Fastboot to makes sure you can use extended Fastboot commands and perform a recovery. This varies a bit based on your model, but most phones have some sort of desktop software that can be run to reflash the phone as well.
The third option is that in many cases it may be possible to restart
Well if you phone is rooted you can run commands with the "su -c" command.
Here is an example of a cat command on the build.prop file to get a phones product information.
This invokes root permission and runs the command inside the ' '
Notice the 5 end quotes, that is required that you close ALL your end quotes or you will get an error.
For clarification the format is like this.
Make sure you enter the command EXACTLY the way that you normally would when running it in shell.
Give it a try, hope this helps.
Simply install adbd Insecure.
What are you trying to run as root for? You're saying that you want to run ADB shell with root but you don't want to use ADB shell? Can you clarify?
If the application requests for root access, then the SuperUser application on your phone should handle giving it permission or not. The process in which you rooted your phone should have included a SuperUser application.
As an alternative, you could write your script on the phone and simply have adb execute it, for example:
The script can elevate itself without your intervention (assuming SuperUser is set to remember the approval), for example:
I just did this on my phone with success, the only problem being that I haven't quite figured out how to cleanly end the adb shell session. I have to Ctrl-C in my Windows shell to return to the Windows command prompt -- otherwise adb just sits at the

adb devices
adb shell su -c
adb root shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "INSERT INTO secure (name,value) VALUES ('device_provisioned','1');"
adb kill-server
You can also set the suid bit on your 'sh'. I'm using BusyBox so instructions may not match your setup:
