I've installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS recently on my laptop and I can't connect to the internet via WiFi. I've used Wireless Info Script recommended here:  And I got following results:   What should I do to make my WiFi work?
I'm new to Ubuntu. I installed it today, but the first thing I encounter is that I can only connect to the Internet through wifi.  Can someone help me?   iwconfig result :  eth0      no wireless extensions.  lo        no wireless extensions.   lspci:  00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor DRAM     Controller (rev 09) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor PCI Express Root Port (rev 09) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI Host Controller (rev 04) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 04) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 04) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev c4) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 2 (rev c4) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 4 (rev c4) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation HM76 Express Chipset LPC Controller (rev 04) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series Chipset Family 6-port SATA Controller [AHCI mode] (rev 04) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller (rev 04) 01:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF117M [GeForce 610M/710M/820M / GT 620M/625M/630M/720M] (rev a1) 03:00.0 Network controller: MEDIATEK Corp.

In classical logic, why is $(p\Rightarrow q)$ True if $p$ is False and $q$ is True? Ubuntu 18.04 - Dell XPS13 9370 no longer suspends on lid close MySQL Prepared statements with a variable size variable list How would you write a prepared MySQL statement in PHP that takes a differing number of arguments each time? An example such query is:  SELECT `age`, `name` FROM `people` WHERE id IN (12, 45, 65, 33)   The IN clause will have a different number of ids each time it is run.  I have two possible solutions in my mind but want to see if there is a better way.  Possible Solution 1 Make the statement accept 100 variables and fill the rest with dummy values guaranteed not to be in the table; make multiple calls for more than 100 values.  Possible Solution 2 Don't use a prepared statement; build and run the query checking stringently for possible injection attacks. How to Compact geodatabases in multiple directories using ArcPy? I am trying to write a script to walk through all folders in my workspace and find and compact all geodatabases in my workspace.  I feel like I'm on the right track but I am stuck.  import acrpy, os from arcpy import env  arcpy.env.workspace "C:"  for (path, dirs, files) in os.walk(arcpy.env.workspace)     for file in files         if ".gdb" in file:         workspaces = arcpy.ListWorkspaces("*", "FileGDB")             for workspace in workspaces:             arcpy.Compact_management(workspace)   I am using ArcGIS 10.2.2 for Desktop. Why is a stock that pays a dividend preferrable to one that doesn't? I understand that a dividend is a way for a company to return money to shareholders. But I'm not quite understanding why it is preferable to capital appreciation and putting the money to work increasing the earnings and revenue of the company. I get that people who buy stocks to get income from dividends, but the decrease in the price of a stock that correlates directly to the amount of the dividend seems to me like it's a zero-sum game.  Part of me thinks that I just fall into the Warren Buffet camp of thought that the money can be spent more wisely in house. But the other part feels like the desire for a dividend is to reinvest and add shares at a lower price (the price the stock goes to ex-dividend).   What am I missing here? Geometry dash lite to Geometry dash full version I currently have the Geometry Dash lite version and I want to buy the full version.

Inheritance in Java - creating an object of the subclass invokes also the constructor of the superclass. Why exactly? I have a question about inheritance in Java.  I have two classes A and B , and class B, inherits from A:  public class A {      public A() {          System.out.println("Hi!");      } }   public class B extends A {      public B() {          System.out.println("Bye!");      }       public static void main(String[] args) {          B b = new B();      } }   When I run program B, the output is:  Hi! Bye!      Question : why the constructor of class A is invoked, when I create and object of class B ?    I know that B inherits everything from A - all instance or class variables, and all methods, and in this sense an object of B has all characteristics of A plus some other characteristics defined in B. However, I didn't know and didn't imagine that when I create an object of type B, the constructor of A is also invoked. So, writing this:  B b = new B();   creates Two objects - one of type B, and one of type A.  This is getting interesting,   can somebody explain why exactly this happens? How did Luke know where to land on Dagobah? Automorphism group of the quaternion group Let $Q_8$ be the quaternion group. How do we determine the automorphism group $Aut(Q_8)$ of $Q_8$ algebraically? I searched for this problem on internet. I found some geometric proofs that $Aut(Q_8)$ is isomorphic to the rotation group of a cube, hence it is isomorphic to the symmetric group $S_4$. I would like to know an algebraic proof that $Aut(Q_8)$ is isomorphic to $S_4$. I love the subset of collective nouns known as the terms of venery. These are collective nouns specific to a particular group of animals. Some of the more inventive examples are: a murder of crows, a crash of rhinos, a mischief of mice, and a puddling of ducks (specifically swimming ducks).  Is there a standard for these group names and is there a central reference for them as with other zoological taxonomy?  I can see in the Wikipedia articles that the practice has its origins in Medieval Hunting tradition, but the Kangaroo (Mob), for instance would have been unknown at that time, so how do new collections come into being? I shifted to Ubuntu 10.10 now I am facing problem to have C/C++ compiler. What are the possible ways so that I can use C/C++ compiler using all the libraries (like graphic, math, conio, stdlib, etc) as in Microsoft Windows creating executable file? I'm unable to update nodejs, and I can't see why.  If I were to make a guess, I'd say that I have two repositories listed in apt-get, that both contain a nodejs package.  Here's what I've done:  Remove old version:  sudo apt-get remove --purge nodejs npm   Then, going by , I've run:  curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_5.x | sudo -E bash -   And then:  sudo apt-get install -y nodejs   I then run:  nodejs -v   Which returns:  v0.10.25   Can anyone explain what's going wrong? And how I can remedy this situation?  Many thanks. Problem with clickable archive.org URLs $f$ bounded but $f'$ isn't Converting time field omitting time and returning null values? I have a time field in my shapefile that is formatted as HH:mm:ss.s It is a text field, and I want to convert it to a date so I can calculate time elapsed across rows (if there's a better way to do this let me know). Basically, each row is a point on a route, and I want to use the time field to calculate the amount of time elapsed between the first and last points on the route.   I tried using the convert time field tool, setting the input format as HH:mm:ss.s, and the output type as DATE. The output field however only shows values of 01/01/2001 for some rows and  for other rows.   time is the input field and time_c is the output field  I'm not sure what's going wrong here, here is what shows up in the geoprocessing results window:    I tried adding the date data to the field as well to make the format yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.s, but it still didn't work: Seems like a stupid question, but I'm after a nice solid answer if possible.  I joined SO a while ago to ask the odd question, but recently I'm starting to use it more often.  I've been reviewing the 40 max items (20 first posts/20 late answers) per day, and editing anything I see wrong with them (lots of +2's)... flagging them... etc.  I've also been  per day.  But other than commenting where I can and answering the odd question, I'm only  (1k at the moment).  I might just be overeager, but I was hoping some high-rep users might be able to write a little something on how they earned their stripes?  I've , and to be honest I was hoping I'd get a hit, because it sounds like a stupid question... anyways, here you go!  Also, I'm not referring to how to gain rep on Meta, since it's a bit of a fluke I've earned the rep I have on here. I'm asking about main SO. i install ubuntu and followed a guide to put 20gb in '/' and the rest (150gb) in '/home'. Now i just found out that a lot of the things installed in ubuntu usually goes to '/' instead of '/home'. I have a lot more things to install.  So what is the point of '/home' ? How do I fix this ? Should I transfer 150gb from '/home' to / ?

Support for N-Gons (polygons consisting of more than 4 vertices) has been in Blender for a while now, but many of us still may not know when to use them, and how to do so effectively.  In what situations do N-Gons really come in handy? When should they be just plain left out? Do they have any place in finished models?
