Is there a way to move the launcher to the right side of the screen in 14.04? everything that pops up in searches is only for moving to the bottom.
I can’t get used to the new Unity system. I’d like to move the left Unity panel to the bottom of screen (like Windows 7 – more similar is better).  But I can't find a way. Is it possible?
Proof of the duality of the dominance order on partitions Could anyone provide me with a nice proof that the  $\leq$ on partitions of an integer $n$ satisfies the following: if $\lambda, \tau$ are 2 partitions of $n$, then $\lambda \leq \tau \Longleftrightarrow \tau &#39; \leq \lambda &#39;$, where $\lambda&#39;$ is the conjugate partition of $\lambda$ (i.e. the transpose of the set of 'dots' which $\lambda$ represents).   I feel like there must be a nice clever and concise/intuitive proof of this, but all I can come up with is an ugly brute force approach based on the definition of sums of the components $\lambda_i$. Could anyone suggest a particularly nice way to obtain this result? Many thanks. I want to append some data to a layer in my PostGIS DB using a shapefile, but when I use the Import layer/file tool in QGIS, it doesn't allow me to choose the append option.  Why is this and how do I get it to allow me to append? How to stop Gedit, Gvim, Vim, Nano from adding End-of-File newline char? Please refer the following questions asked elsewhere on this site:       I am a native Hindi speaker; Hindi has a plethora of terms referring to relationships. To take a trivial example, the term uncle may refer to father's elder brother, father's younger brother, mother's brothers, father's sister's husband, mother's sister's husband, all of which have specific addresses in Hindi.  I discussed the same with one of my teachers. She had the opinion that the development of language mirrors the cultural moorings of the society that uses the language. Now, since all of the above relationships have distinct status and reverence in the Hindi speaking society, that calls for different addresses. That may well not be the case in English speaking societies.  Is that correct? What other linguistic reasons may account for such a dearth of vocabulary in English in this area? Is a continuous function on a bounded set bounded itself? If $f\colon A\to\mathbb R$ is continuous and $A$ is a bounded set, does it necessarily follow that $f$ is bounded? Switch statement fallthrough in C#? Switch statement fallthrough is one of my personal major reasons for loving switch vs. if/else if constructs. An example is in order here:  static string NumberToWords(int number) {     string[] numbers = new string[]          { "", "one", "two", "three", "four", "five",            "six", "seven", "eight", "nine" };     string[] tens = new string[]          { "", "", "twenty", "thirty", "forty", "fifty",            "sixty", "seventy", "eighty", "ninety" };     string[] teens = new string[]         { "ten", "eleven", "twelve", "thirteen", "fourteen", "fifteen",           "sixteen", "seventeen", "eighteen", "nineteen" };      string ans = "";     switch (number.ToString().Length)     {         case 3:             ans += string.Format("{0} hundred and ", numbers[number / 100]);         case 2:             int t = (number / 10) % 10;             if (t == 1)             {                 ans += teens[number % 10];                 break;             }             else if (t &gt; 1)                 ans += string.Format("{0}-", tens[t]);         case 1:             int o = number % 10;             ans += numbers[o];              break;         default:             throw new ArgumentException("number");     }     return ans; }   The smart people are cringing because the string[]s should be declared outside the function: well, they are, this is just an example.  The compiler fails with the following error:   Control cannot fall through from one case label ('case 3:') to another Control cannot fall through from one case label ('case 2:') to another   Why? And is there any way to get this sort of behaviour without having three ifs? Dini's Theorem - Proof. I'd like to prove the following:  If $f_j$ are continuous functions on a compact set $K$, and $f_{1}(x) \leq f_{2}(x) \leq \dots$ for all $x \in K$, and the $f_j$ converge pointwise to a continuous function $f$ on $K$ then in fact the $f_j$ converge uniformly to $f$ on $K$.  Attempt:  Let $g_{j}(x) = f(x) - f_{j}(x)$ for all $j$. Then, since $f_j \rightarrow f$ pointwise, we see $g_j \rightarrow 0$ pointwise.  Now, let $\varepsilon &gt; 0$ . And examine { $x \in K : g_{j}(x) &lt; \varepsilon$ }.  I've been told that the next step should be to  show that { $x \in K : g_{j}(x) &lt; \varepsilon$ } is equal to the intersection of $K$ with some open set $U_j$. But I'm not certain why this is true?   Advice? Insight? Is the "Roman alphabet" what we use for English? I understand that the alphabet for the English language is not strictly English as languages such as French, Dutch and many more use the same alphabet, with few additions in other languages. Is Roman alphabet the common term to refer to this set of symbols for writing texts?

Does it mean something like this - If the bodies were not there on the ground, it would have appeared to be a normal day at the oasis.  Can anyone also explain the structure of this sentence and example of some similar sentences? I made up an idiom that I think describes what I want to say quite nicely:     "If one shoots enough arrows at the target, one is sure to hit the bull's eye."   An actual English idiom I know of that is close in meaning is:     "Throw enough mud at the wall and some of it will stick"   However, the conceptual image is not as matching, and according to  it has a second meaning:     If enough (perhaps false or reckless) accusations are made against someone, his reputation will suffer, whether or not this is deserved.   But I want the idiom to paint a positive image. For example, I would say the idiom when I help someone remember something by giving it a shot in the dark and getting it right miraculously after some guesses.

Prevent sent emails treated as junk mails using php mail function How to find a real solution Windows executables are started with archive manager I have Wine installed and several Windows applications installed there run fine, if I start them using the right mouse menu "Open with Wine program loader". But if I try starting an .exe file by just double clicking instead, the archive manager tries to open the executable.  How do I fix that?  And something like a bonus question as a former Windows user: Can this be done easily for a single file I currently see in the file manager (similar to the "Open with..." context menu in Windows) and for many file types together (like in Windows, using the menu "Folder settings" in the Explorer)? This is a question you can read everywhere on the web with various answers:  $ext = end(explode('.', $filename)); $ext = substr(strrchr($filename, '.'), 1); $ext = substr($filename, strrpos($filename, '.') + 1); $ext = preg_replace('/^.*\.([^.]+)$/D', '$1', $filename);  $exts = split("[/\\.]", $filename); $n    = count($exts)-1; $ext  = $exts[$n];   etc.  However, there is always "the best way" and it should be on Stack Overflow. Which command should I use for textual subscripts in math mode? Textual subscripts like in W_{total} should be typeset in an upright text font (so that code isn't good practice), as has been  in   . Now there are several ways to achieve this, and I'm somewhat confused which I should use:   W_{\rm total} is nice and short, and appears to work in all circumstances, but I expect LaTeX people will frown upon it :-) Is there any good reason against this? W_{\mathrm{total}} &ndash; is this the LaTeX equivalent of the \rm approach? W_{\textnormal{total}}  as total is text and not math&nbsp;... In , Ulrike Fischer suggests a more complicated approach. Even W_{\operatorname{total}} appears to work, but it seems inappropriate.   Note: I always assume here that amsmath is loaded.  I've already asked some questions above, but my main question is: which of these options is the best practice for textual subscripts?    Let me point out why I haven't mentioned \text, \textrm or \textup above. Those commands (mostly) keep the font of the context they're used in, e.g., in an italic context, \text and \textrm would give italic subscripts, and all three yield bold subscripts in a bold context.  Final note: This question is similar to, but not the same as all those  about the  between , , , ,  that have been asked before. Maybe it's still a duplicate&nbsp;... Book series with college students finding a way to open portals to other planets I got the storyline of this book series (I believe it was a series) told to me by a colleague at a former workplace but I can't remember the name of the author or of any of the books in the series. The first book is about a couple of college students who find a way to relatively easily open portals to pretty much wherever they want to go. One day, NASA(?) finally succeeds in sending astronauts to Mars(?). When they have just left the spaceship, one of them suddenly gets a tap on the shoulder, and when he/she turns around, these college students stand there in their homemade space suits, chuckling. I believe these students later also start a company that helps other organizations establish themselves on other planets, or perhaps even &quot;conquers&quot; and sells planets to other organizations. A later book in the series also describes a system that lets people upload their minds to the cloud. Some people choose to live solely in the cloud as virtual creatures, only deciding to &quot;descend&quot; into a &quot;flesh&quot; body when they need to perform some task that requires them to be in physical form. Some people also choose to live in physical form but as several entities, or clones, and sync their mind between the clones through this system, basically allowing them to, for example, run a one-man company with several &quot;instances&quot; of the same human who all share their knowledge and all know exactly what all other clones know in the same moment, effectively creating a super-efficient team of workers. My actual WhatsApp back total size is 474Mb but when I go to I cloud back up it is showing 10GB, how is it possible? I mean I have deleted all media files from my WhatsApp and in WhatsApp application the total space is 474MB and also in iCloud storage it is 474MB, but when I entered further in to Backups and then choose my phone, it shows total backup size is 14GB and WhatsApp itself is taking 10GB.
