Let's say I frequently visit www.mydomain.co.uk  Chrome quite rightly suggests this URL when I begin to type "myd"  Now, I am very often going to www.mydomain.co.uk/directory - Chrome presumably has recognised that recently, I visit this page more frequently than I visit www.mydomain.co.uk. Now when I begin typing "myd", the first URL suggested to me is www.mydomain.co.uk/directory with www.mydomain.co.uk having been pushed down the list.  I want for www.mydomain.co.uk to always remain at the top of the suggested list, is there a way I can manually re-order the suggestions or perhaps ensure that www.mydomain.co.uk is always the first suggestion?    I'm aware that you can delete things from the autocomplete list, that's not what I'm looking for.
I use Chrome as my default browser. This includes my browser for work.  We have a trac setup that uses folder paths (see example) for the different projects  Example:   main.employertracsite.com/projects/projectname   I want the ability to manually sort the results that are displayed in the auto-complete.  Chrome displays auto-complete based on the usage history of a web address. Which means that a project that isn't my main focus is displayed in the url instead of the one that I've been using more lately.  Example:   main.employertracsite.com/projects/alliance is the project that I'm not using all the time anymore and is showing up in auto-complete main.employertracsite.com/projects/horde is the project that I am using more often now and want to show up in the auto-complete   I don't want to delete the alliance from my history, but I do want the ability to be able to manually adjust which project shows up in auto-complete. This will be more usable for me in the future because I'm constantly on different projects full-time and they each have their own area.  I also do not want to delete my history.
What are some good books for learning general relativity? Windows 8 removes Grub as default boot manager I have a Sony VAIO S series with Windows 8 preinstalled, and I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on a new partition. When the PC boots Grub is display, and I can choose between Windows 8 (didn't worked at the beginning, had to change Grub settings) and Ubuntu 12.10. When I select Ubuntu 12.10 everything is OK, but when I use Windows 8, and I restart Grub isn't displayed anymore (Windows 8 boots immediately).  I booted a Ubuntu 12.10 LiveUSB, used efibootmgr, and found out that Windows 8 (each time it boots) changes EFI default bootloader from Grub to Windows Boot Manager.  How do I change this in Windows 8? I read something about bcdedit, but it does not work or I don't know how to use it... How to run a script without closing the terminal? I have a script in file bla.sh and it is executable. When I click on it, the script is executed and the window is closed. I'd like the window to stay open.  Something like command cmd /k** command in Windows.  P.S. I don't want to use pause, but I want to able to write more commands after the script was executed. Why do we need a Stack Overflow in Portuguese? I have noticed there is a Stack Overflow in language differs from English which is global and mostly used by programmers.  I think there is no need for a site in other languages. Otherwise we will end up with 127 StackOverflow sites. I am afraid that we will lose the amount of people sharing data. What is the easiest way to encode a PHP string for output to a JavaScript variable?  I have a PHP string which includes quotes and newlines.  I need the contents of this string to be put into a JavaScript variable.  Normally, I would just construct my JavaScript in a PHP file, à la:  &lt;script&gt;   var myvar = "&lt;?php echo $myVarValue;?&gt;"; &lt;/script&gt;   However, this doesn't work when $myVarValue contains quotes or newlines. How can I install the Google Apps Package (Play Store, ...) on my Android device? I have recently installed a custom ROM and cannot find the Play Store.

Limits of Poisson's ratio in isotropic solid Determine if a set of tiles on a grid forms an enclosed shape Custom right-click action in Unity Launcher keeps cursor busy for 20 seconds To have a "minimize window" option through right click on an icon in the Unity launcher (Ubuntu 14.04), I followed the detailed instructions  about changing a .desktop file and made a custom Firefox launcher in ~/.local/share/applications/ folder. The relevant part of the .desktop file is:  Actions=NewWindow;NewPrivateWindow;Minimize  [Desktop Action NewWindow] Name=Open a New Window Exec=firefox -new-window OnlyShowIn=Unity;  [Desktop Action NewPrivateWindow] Name=Open a New Private Window Exec=firefox -private-window OnlyShowIn=Unity;  [Desktop Action Minimize] Name=Minimize Windows Exec=sh /home/myusername/Documents/xdotool_sh/minimize.sh firefox OnlyShowIn=Unity;   The desktop action "Minimize" invokes a simple shell script, minimize.sh that has the following content:  #/bin/bash name=$1 for i in $(xdotool search --class "$name"); do     xdotool windowminimize $i done   The script uses xdotool, that can be installed from the official repositories, to find all the firefox windows, iterate over them and minimize them.  The script works and the launcher right menu option "Minimize Windows" works as well, but as soon as the windows are minimized, the mouse pointer gets in "busy" mode and stays like this for about 20 seconds (although the mouse actions are still responsive).   Does anyone know why starting a shell script from a right menu option in Unity could lead to this behaviour?  EDIT: Apparently the wait period is inevitable, as explained in Jacob Vlijm's answer. Since the mouse remains responsive, avoiding the transformation of the pointer in the spinning wheel is a partial esthetic workaround, as explained on .  EDIT2: giving the system a fake window is a better solution, as explained by Jacob below. I can print with printf as a hex or octal number.  Is there a format tag to print as binary, or arbitrary base? I am running gcc. printf(&quot;%d %x %o\n&quot;, 10, 10, 10); //prints &quot;10 A 12\n&quot; print(&quot;%b\n&quot;, 10); // prints &quot;%b\n&quot; The X button stopped working on one of my PS3 controllers. It's hardly through abuse, the controller isn't a year old and I don't play a lot.  The button doesn't stick, it presses like the others, only the system isn't aware that I'm using it. I tried resetting it with the tiny reset button in the back, to no avail.  What can I do? QGIS3 - Clipping polygons to a hemisphere for azimuthal orthographic projection I'm a bit of a novice with QGIS, so this is really throwing me for a loop.  For the maps I'm intending on making, an azimuthal orthographic projection would be my preference.   For example, one map I'm trying to recreate is this map of the Pacific islands :    I've been using the NaturalEarth Quick Start package, which has been a really good launching-off point, but I'm running into some issues at the horizon of the orthographic projection.  I've tried adding a custom projection:  +proj=ortho +lat_0=0 +lon_0=170 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +a=6371000 +b=6371000 +units=m +no_defs   But that gives the following map:    Which certainly is close to being right, but the ocean is obviously being cut off in the Arctic and on the southern horizon.  I understand the issue is that naively mapping layers described in WGS 84 to an orthographic projection leaves you with artifacts at the horizon, but how do I fix it?    I first tried to use the Clip to Hemisphere plugin described in , but it seems incompatible with QGIS 3; when I try adding the plugin, QGIS3 gives an error message and places it in the "Invalid" section of the Plugins window.    I then tried both solutions presented at  Again the issue is with QGIS 2/3 incompatibility.    For Solution 1, both Numerical Digitize and CAD Tools are again incompatible with QGIS 3 and give the same result as Clip to Hemisphere.    For Solution 2, I can't disable on-the-fly-reprojection in settings since that setting was removed in QGIS 3. Integration of $\int\frac{1}{x^{4}+1}\mathrm dx$ Upon answering the telephone, the person calling asks if Joan is available. If Joan is the person who answered the phone, should she say "This is her" or "This is she"? Evaluating $\int \frac{1}{{x^4+1}} dx$ I am trying to evaluate the integral  $$\int \frac{1}{1+x^4} \mathrm dx.$$  The integrand $\frac{1}{1+x^4}$ is a rational function (quotient of two polynomials), so I could solve the integral if I can find the partial fraction of $\frac{1}{1+x^4}$. But I failed to factorize $1+x^4$.   Any other methods are also wellcome. Four tasks in parallel... how do I do that? I have a bunch of PNG images on a directory. I have an application called pngout that I run to compress these images. This application is called by a script I did. The problem is that this script does one at a time, something like this:  FILES=(./*.png) for f in  "${FILES[@]}" do         echo "Processing $f file..."         # take action on each file. $f store current file name         ./pngout -s0 $f R${f/\.\//} done   Processing just one file at a time, takes a lot of time. After running this app, I see that the CPU is just 10%. So I discovered that I can divide these files in 4 batches, put each batch in a directory and fire 4, from four terminal windows, four processes, so I have four instances of my script, at the same time, processing those images and the job takes 1/4 of the time.  The second problem is that I lost time dividing the images and batches and copying the script to four directories, open 4 terminal windows, bla bla...  How do that with one script, without having to divide anything?  I mean two things: first how do I from a bash script, fire a process to the background ? (just add &amp; to the end?) Second: how do I stop sending tasks to the background after sending the fourth tasks and put the script to wait until the tasks end? I mean, just sending a new task to the background as one tasks end, keeping always 4 tasks in parallel? if I do not do that the loop will fire zillions of tasks to the background and the CPU will clog. Newton's third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. That is the reason we do not sink into the earth, because when our weight exerts a force on the earth it also exerts an equal and opposite force on us.  But when we stand on quicksand or on fluids we can sink in. How is this possible? Does it not exert an equal and opposite force on us? Or are Newton's laws different in the case of fluids and substances of low densities?
