Early in a dangerous encounter we were able to save our bacon by trapping an Archmage with a Bead of Force, effectively removing him from the fight for 1 minute.  We managed to eliminate his allies several rounds later and then started to gather around the sphere that the Archmage was trapped in so that we could cut him to pieces as soon as the sphere disappeared. There were two rounds left before the sphere was gone.   DM decided to have him cast Time Stop and ruled that doing so would give him time to wait out the sphere and then cast Teleport in order to escape, all while we were frozen in time.   We all disagreed, saying that, because the passage of time is stopped for all but the Archmage, we and the sphere would proceed normally from our perspective and the Archmage would just have more time to write his last will and testament before the sphere disappeared and we dog piled him.   If water kept flowing, if sand dials kept pouring, if spheres of force marched closer to expiration, then time didn’t stop, did it? In that scenario, sentient life was frozen while time kept passing, and that’s not what the spell says. It’s Time Stop, not Life Freeze.  What do you think? Was the DM correct in his ruling, or should the Archmage have been ripped apart by ravenous adventurers?
The  spell says time stops for other creatures.  What all is affected by the spell? Is gravity affected? Air movement?  I know that the spell only does what it says, and nothing else, but just wondering.   In addition, is it saying that the other creatures are not affected by environmental effects and the like while time is stopped?  For instance, if a wind blew really hard at one of the creatures you're fighting, would it affect that foe while time stop is active? If you were to place a bear trap behind the person, and a hard wind blew enough to tip them, would they then fall over onto the bear trap and be damaged without the spell ending?  This is a very curious spell...
using this command I changed root password   mysqladmin -u root password fg$pkh@567fghu   And now I cant access mysql. Is this because mysql parse the chars other than what I expect?

Make gedit embedded terminal colours the same as the default terminal I've just updated to 11.10 and now my embedded terminal in gedit does not match my default terminal. I hate looking at a white and black terminal. Does anyone know how to make the embedded terminal match the default terminal?

Retrieve the position (X,Y) of an HTML element relative to the browser window How can I easily encrypt a file? Is there any simple (IE: right click in Nautilus) way to password protect a particular folder/file in Ubuntu? I've got a few files containing sensitive info and I'd much prefer that if/when I leave my computer alone, they aren't accidentally accessed by someone else.  The secruty does not have to be extremely tight. My only concern is that when family/friends come over, I don't really like the idea of them looking at my bank details, accounts or, you guessed it, porn collection.  A simple, effective way to let me put my machine in the hands of someone else knowing that said machine can not cause me embarresment is the sole reason why I'd like to see this in Ubuntu. I have been attending a number of academic / professional conferences recently and one thing that really awed me was the flawless and natural way in which the speakers presented on their topics.  Sure, they had the occasional mispronunciations or awkward pauses but they spoke with authority and confidence.   Some of them used powerpoint slides but were not reading from the slides; they were just talking on the points and they had so much to say on each point that I felt they could not do it without notes, but they were not even looking at their notes most of the time.  (The advantages of not looking at their notes too much was that they could maintain eye contact and could use very interesting slides that were not crammed with the dot points of their speeches.)  I hate to think that they had memorised their speech notes but some of the presentations went for more than an hour.  I know rehearsal is important but I wonder how could anyone remember so much in a nervous situation. (Its one thing to know everything on your topic; its another thing to present that 'everything'!)  Question:  What background / foreground things do presenters do that make their presentations flawless and natural? How to Sort a 2D array? The API Sandbox This is the same concept as .  Why do we need more than one? this is in order to test the API, some methods support vectored ids (for example /questions/id1;id2/comments) and for that two sandboxes are needed.

Trying to get casperjs running on Ubuntu 12.04. After installing it when I run I get:   09:20 $ ll /usr/local/bin/casperjs lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Nov  6 16:49 /usr/local/bin/casperjs -&gt; /opt/casperjs/bin/casperjs  09:20 $ /usr/bin/env python --version Python 2.7.3  09:20 $ cat /opt/casperjs/bin/casperjs | head -4  #!/usr/bin/env python  import os import sys  09:20 $ casperjs : No such file or directory  09: 22 $ python Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2013, 20:03:06)  [GCC 4.6.3] on linux2   So Python is present and runnable, casperjs is pointing to the right place and it is a python script. But when I run it I get "No such file".   I can fix it by changing the first line of the casperjs python file from:    #!/usr/bin/env python   to:   #!/usr/bin/python   Result:   $ casperjs --version 1.1.0-DEV   I managed to fix it, but I'm wondering why it didn't work with #!/usr/bin/env python, since that seems to be a normal interpreter line. Do I have something configured wrong?   Here are the steps to get casperjs:   $ git clone git://github.com/n1k0/casperjs.git $ cd casperjs $ ln -sf `pwd`/bin/casperjs /usr/local/bin/casperjs $ casperjs : No such file or directory Add-on for blocking sites in Google Search I want to block Yahoo Answers from Google searches. As there is no option from Google for that, are there any extensions for Chrome or add-ons for Firefox that can block sub-domain results from Google search? Kernel panic after update to 4.4.0-108-generic In the context of topological spaces, I see the following major countability properties:  A space is:   "separable" iff it has a countable dense subset "second countable" iff if has a countable basis "first countable" iff the neighbourhood system of every point has a countable local basis.   (Definitions taken from Counterexamples in Topology by Steen and Seebach, 2nd ed. 1978 -- there may be differences in wording from other sources.)  The question I have is: "separable" into what, exactly? By which I mean to say: what is the thinking behind calling such a condition "separable"?  It appears not to be related to the concept of "separation axioms", which do immediately and obviously invoke an intuitive notation of separation, neither does it seem to have anything to do with "separated sets".  (Anyone using the spelling "seperable" or "seperated" will be immediately downvoted. :-) ) What's the bad magic number error? What's the "Bad magic number" ImportError in python, and how do I fix it?  The only thing I can find online suggests this is caused by compiling a .py -> .pyc file and then trying to use it with the wrong version of python. In my case, however, the file seems to import fine some times but not others, and I'm not sure why.  The information python's providing in the traceback isn't particularly helpful (which is why I was asking here...), but here it is in case it helps:  Traceback (most recent call last):   File "run.py", line 7, in &lt;module&gt;     from Normalization import Normalizer Surface area inside cylinder Find the surface area of the part $\sigma$: $x^2+y^2+z^2=4$ that lies inside the cylinder $x^2+y^2=2y$  So, the surface is a sphere of $R=2$. It looks there should be double integral to calculate the surface, but how, which way? Schengen visa refusal on threat to public policy, security, health I applied for German Schengen visa as a medical escort to my relative in a different country from  where I reside, but my visa application was refused and the refusal letter  was written in German as the following:        Ein oder mehrere Mitgliedstaaten sind der Auffassung, dass Sie eine Gefahr für die öffentliche Ordnung, die innere Sicherheit, die   öffentliche Gesundheit gemäß Artikel 2 Absatz 19 der Verordnung (EG)   Nr 562/2006 (Schengener Grenzkodex) oder die internationalen   Beziehungen eines oder mehrerer Mitgliedstaaten darstellen.      I was in Germany for nearly a year with my relative during his treatment; I extended my stay there 3 times; and I returned back home two months ago in order to renew my passport. I applied again using the same documents that I used for my extension in Germany.    First, can anyone tell me what the refusal means? Next, is there any possibility that there is a mistake in the assessment?    Note: In English this reason is...     One or more member state(s) consider you to be a threat to public   policy, internal security, public health as defined in Article 2(19)   of Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 (Schengen Borders Code) or the   international relations of one or more of the member states). New passport and entrance Schengen I am from Brazil and travel a lot in Schengen countries. Under the rules of Schengen visa (3 months stay in a 6 months period). In my passport are the entrance and exit stamps, also to chec the days I stay in Schengen.  I need a new passport and will get this in Brazil. So in this new passport are NOT the stamps. Does this mean I start new with the Schengen visa rule? I seems like. The new passport is empty. Or do I miss something? It would be great because I am almost on my 90 days stay in the period of 180 days. I find myself constantly looking up the syntax of  find . -name "FILENAME"  -exec rm {} \;   mainly because I don't see how exactly the -exec part works. What is the meaning of the braces, the backslash and the semicolon? Are there other use cases for that syntax? Formula for completing the square? My math teacher said that this was the formula for completing the square.  Original function: $$ax^2 + bx + c$$ Completed square: $$a\left(x + \frac{b}{2a}\right)^2 - \frac{b^2}{4a} + c$$  However, using this formula I'm not getting the same answers that I would get just by determining the stuff myself.  Is this correct? reconfiguration issues with dpkg I ran into some problems installing a package with apt. The terminal hung up during an install and I saw no other choice but to close the terminal. The problem, however, is that I can't seem to solve the issues that this has caused.   As is typical, I get:  E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?   This gets me nowhere and I'm locked out until I run sudo dpkg --configure -a. Makes sense. However, this process spits the following out and then hangs on the last line:  Setting up virtualbox-dkms (5.2.10-dfsg-6) ... Removing old virtualbox-5.2.10 DKMS files...  -------- Uninstall Beginning -------- Module:  virtualbox Version: 5.2.10 Kernel:  4.15.0-23-generic (x86_64) -------------------------------------  Status: This module version was INACTIVE for this kernel. depmod...

When I try to fix the broken packages (sudo apt install -f), the system also hangs on the same line, although the output is different:  Reading package lists...

Loading new virtualbox-5.2.10 DKMS files... Building for 4.15.0-23-generic Building initial module for 4.15.0-23-generic   I am unable to get out of it unless I kill the process. This I do by checking what is currently running related to apt (ps aux |grep apt), and then I kill the relevant processes with sudo kill -9 process_number_here.  If I try to run things after that, it tells me I still need to reconfigure dpkg.  I tried looking around for more solutions to dpkg and all I really see is the nuclear option:  sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock   I also delete the files in /var/lib/dpkg/updates because when I did some digging one of the files inside had the exact same text as the above long output... but I fully admit to being out of my league here and I don't know what to do.   Taking a look at the error messages, I recognize that it hangs on building something related to the kernel. But I have no idea where to even start solving that. Any help is appreciated. My system is ubuntu 18.04
