I installed Ubuntu 14.04 onto my Acer Aspire E15. The PC has a 500 Gigabyte HDD.   During the installation it divided the HDD into separate partitions. However every time I turn on the PC it goes directly into Windows 8.1. It doesn't allow you the opportunity to select which OS you want to use.   Question 1: How do I set the PC so it will allow me to select the OS?  Question 2: And if #1 isn't possible. How to I remove Ubuntu from the PC and recover the partition for Windows
I would like to be able to set a flag at the beginning of the main flag (say output) that tells if I want to produce a paper document or an electronic document.   Then I should check this flag to define or not empty pages, hypperref, oneside or twosides, etc.  How could I do that ? I am in the process of updating my CV. Since I often get labeled as "the bioinformatician" I get to play with many different languages and technologies, and similarly what people expect from a bioinformatician varies from person to person. So I figured it would be a good idea to indicate how much I feel I know in respective fields/languages.  Inspired by , I came to wonder whether or not its acceptable to have self-assessed ratings of your technical skills, such as: proficiency programming languages, familiarity with relevant software etc.   My own feeling is that such ratings are useful to indicate what you feel most confident or comfortable with. It would also be useful to show any potential future employer the level of competence you have in different fields. If you think about it a bit, it is common to have some type of rating for the languages one speaks, so I think an analogue to programming language proficiency should not be that alienating.  On the other hand there is the risk of rendering your CV like, as a friend of mine put it, a role-playing game character sheet.   Is it common to have such ratings on skills? Are there any potential problems with it?   Edit: What I was thinking is a small listing something like: How to uncover a table column wise in Latex beamer I have a table with 7 columns and want to show the first 5 at once, and then  the 6th and 7th on consecutive slides.

However, I don't seem to be able to apply its logic to my problem. :( Is anyone willing to help?   P.S. What are the meanings of &lt; and ! in columns specification? I just updated my iMac to Mojave, and am still trying to setup my preferences.  I tried dark mode, but did not like it (half of me apps seem to ignore it anyway).  I switched to light mode, but this too has problems. The File Save dialog shows a list of Directories and existing files, but the latter are very light grey, almost indistinguishable from the background.    I have searched the Preferences menu, but can't seem to find any setting to set normal contrast levels like in High Sierra. Port Forwarding to a VMware Workstation Virtual Machine Can I install Android on my non-Android device? Many people want to try/use Android without buying a new Android phone.  How can I install Android on my current phone or device running Nokia Symbian, Maemo, or MeeGo; Microsoft Windows Mobile or Windows Phone 7/8/10; Apple iOS (iPhone); RIM's BlackBerry OS; Palm's WebOS; Samsung's Bada; HP's WebOS; Mozilla's Firefox OS; or other phone / operating system? In a raster layer's Style Properties, I can choose pseudocolor render type, and choose a color ramp and classify the raster.      However, when I click the 'Apply' button, or click 'OK', the visualization of the raster never changes.  I was able to output a 'colorized' version of the same raster using GRASS plugin.  I also reinstalled QGIS 2.8, and was able to adjust and see a raster stylings using the steps I outlined above.  So, can anyone confirm this as an issue, or confirm that there's a mistake somewhere in my process?  I should note that I'm on a Mac, 10.10.4, and I'm using the QGIS provided by , 2.10.1-1 .  Update 1: Here's a screenshot of the rest of my settings.      I have Grayscale set to off in the Style setting.  Also, I don't believe grayscale/color-blind Preview is available on the Mac version of QGIS.  They're does't appear to be the option where it , in the Menu Bar under View / Preview / Photocopy (grayscale) etc.  Either way-- I added a shapefile to show color.  Update 2: I've experimented with setting color interpolation to discrete, linear, and exact, but still am not able stylize using Singleband pseudocolor.  I've also confirmed that the 'Render' box on the the main map view is checked.  Also, I am able to adjust Color Rendering settings, like Hue, Blending Mode, etc., and see the results when clicking 'Apply' or 'OK'.  Update 3: As other Mac users are confirming this, I think it may be a bug.

How to represent a list as a cycle Status-* tags - moderator only? Understanding a particular evaluation of $\prod\limits_{n=2}^{\infty}\left(1-\frac{1}{n^3}\right)$ I'm having a hard time understanding the following evaluation of the infinite product  $$ \prod_{n=2}^{\infty}\left(1-\frac{1}{n^3}\right).$$ In particular, I don't understand how you go from line 2 to line 3. Here $\omega = -\frac{1}{2}+ i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$, which is a primitive third root of unity.  $$\begin{align}\prod_{n=2}^{\infty}\left(1-\frac{1}{n^3}\right)  &amp;=\prod_{n=2}^{\infty}\frac{(n-1)(n^2+n+1)}{n^3} \\  &amp;=\lim_{m\to\infty}\frac{1}{m}\prod_{n=2}^m\frac{(n-\omega)(n-\omega^2)}{n^2} \\  &amp;=\lim_{m\to\infty}\frac{\Gamma(m+1-\omega)\Gamma(m+1-\omega^2)}{m(m!)^2\Gamma(-\omega)\Gamma(-\omega^2)(1-\omega)(1-\omega^2)(-\omega)(-\omega^2)} \\  &amp;=\frac{1}{3\Gamma(-\omega)\Gamma(-\omega^2)} \\ &amp;=\frac{\sin{\pi(-\omega)}}{3\pi} \\  &amp;=\frac{\cosh (\frac{\sqrt{3}\pi}{2})}{3\pi } \end{align}$$ EDIT: I think I'm starting to make sense out of this by writing out the terms. $$ \begin{align} \prod_{n=2}^{m} \frac{(n- \omega)(n-\omega^{2})}{n^{2}} &amp;= \frac{(2-\omega)(3-\omega) \cdots (m- \omega)(2-\omega^{2})(3-\omega^{2})\cdots (m- \omega^{2})}{2^{2} \cdot 3^{2} \cdot \cdots  \cdot m^{2}}  \\ &amp;= \frac{1}{(m!)^{2}} \frac{\Gamma(m+1-\omega)}{(1-\omega)(-\omega)\Gamma(-\omega)} \frac{\Gamma(m+1-\omega^{2})}{(1-\omega^{2})(-\omega^{2})\Gamma(-\omega^{2})} \end{align}$$ Now I have to figure out how to take the limit as $m \to \infty$.

During Windows installation I accidentally typed an accented name for my user name and my profile name is named after it. I already renamed my user to not have an accented character, but the profile folder is an other topic.  Basically I want this because I have some applications what have a problem with the accented character.  Is there a way to rename it? I know I have to make a copy from my profile, but how can I perform a relocation itself? I wouldn't like touch any other profiles on the machine just mine.
