I have an iPad 3, running iOS7. Following some articles I read, alleging to degraded performance undr iOS8, I decided to not upgrade (if anyone can contribute any experience to the contrary - I'd be thanklful).  Recently, when I connected the iPad to my laptop to transfer some files, the iOS8 upgrade file was downloaded off the internet and onto my iPad. I now have a permanent notification asking me to upgrade, not to mention a 3.3GB file stuck on my iPad.  How do I get rid of it? Is there a way to delete it on the device, or do I need to do it through iTunes?
I've downloaded the new iOS 8 update on my iPhone 5 but am getting second thoughts about actually installing it.  Is there a way for me to delete that download or am I at the point of no return?
Is the humanoid appearance of most alien species in the Star Trek universe ever canonically addressed? The vast majority of intelligent species in the Star Trek universe are bipedal, humanoid creatures.  From the lot I've seen of TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, and the movies, it seems that this coincidence goes largely unquestioned.  Metaknowledge grants that it is much easier to have human actors portray human-like beings, and so this was probably done due to budgetary/technological limitations.  However, I'm wondering if an in-universe reason for this was ever given or explored? How to properly write multiple authors in bibtex file? I have 6 images, and I want to align them in this way  (a)image1 (c)image3 (e)image5  (b)image2 (d)image4 (f)image6  Any one know how to do that?  The problem for me is how to make (a), (b),..., (f) in vertical direction. Completeness and Incompleteness I took a bunch of photos at my son's martial arts club using a D90 with a 50mm F1.8.  The club is lit with overhead fluorescent lighting, and I was getting some weird results where some shots are "white", others have an "orange cast", and still others are partly white and partly orange in the same shot.  I suspect it has to do with the combination of the frequency of the light flicker and with the camera shutter speed. Here is a sequence of 3 shots that show the problem.  The shots were taken with 1/500s at F2 and ISO-800 and with Auto-WB.  First shot ("white/normal"):    Second shot ("orange cast" at top):   Third shot ("orange cast" at bottom):   These were taken in burst mode within a second of each other.  Can anybody tell me what is going on?  And, how I can avoid this? Why is the relationship between atomic number and density not linear? String concatenation: concat() vs "+" operator Avoiding 'instanceof' in Java How can I efficiently generate a Set from a List structure? I have a bit of code where I've written a SOQL query that returns a list of SObject records, however I need a Set&lt;Id&gt; structure to pass to another method that I don't have control of (and thus can't change the method signature of).  How can I turn my returned List&lt;SObject&gt; into a Set&lt;Id&gt;? Is the best option just a for loop? When you reach 10k rep, you get to see other users deleted answers. I just think it's dishonest as a system to call a feature "delete," but show that to totally random strangers in the backroom. Due to the nature of the rep, given enough time, all of the regular users would eventually reach 10k rep, no matter how insensitive or jerk they are.  There's usually a good reason why people hit "delete" to their own work. They regret writing something totally bullshit or maybe they spoke too much about their own work that they shouldn't have.  First of all, is there really a practical reason why 10k rep user should view self-deleted answers? Does the benefit really outweigh the creepiness? (Imagine if total strangers could see your deleted messages in Gmail?)  What suggestions could we make to change it? Borrowing from the email metaphor, I think it makes sense for users to "empty trash" so the items gets seriously deleted. Imho, however the deletion is implemented is not important. It could be a soft delete, SQL Delete, or physical destruction of metal plates as long as the user or the 10k rep user no longer sees the deleted item.  What are the workarounds, if we can't change the behavior?  The least we could do is stop calling it "delete" if it's actually not a "delete." Call it "hide from public" or "actually not delete" or something.  Related user voice:        Edit: Recovery of a deleted-but-good answer is a practical benefit for the community, but I see that as creepy dangerous feature. IMHO, each user should have the rights to take back his or her perfectly good answer, and that the protecting privacy outweighs the benefit or creepiness.   I understand that it's all possible to find things out from Google cache or wherever, but why promote this as default behavior? As 10k rep user, I see others deleted answers by default. @codinghorror wrote:     But like any version control system, deletions are illusory.

At the moment I parse " jq -r '.[]["name"]" and I can filter the output from curl by name and I will get "BMA" and also 100 other names, but I need to filter only the ID where name is =BMA.

Gaussian-like integral : $\int_0^{\infty} e^{-x^2} \cos( a x) \ \mathrm{d}x$ Sylow Theorem Explanation The Sylow theorems say that all $p$-Sylow subgroups are conjugate.   Is that the only thing they are conjugate to? In other words could a $p$-Sylow subgroup also be conjugate to something that is not a $p$-Sylow group?   Or does the fact that every element with order dividing $p$ is in a $p$-Sylow group mean that that is never possible?

I am having trouble with this problem from my latest homework.  Prove the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality. That is, for two positive real numbers $x,y$, we have $$ \sqrt{xy}≤ \frac{x+y}{2} .$$ Furthermore, equality occurs if and only if $x = y$.  Any and all help would be appreciated.
