I'm planning to go to Europe via Emirates that will have a 3 hours stop over in Dubai.... And I'm planning to bring my sex toys with me....  I'm kinda worried since I just learned that sex toys are not allowed in Dubai....  I wonder if luggages are scanned again at the airport in Dubai before being transferred to the next flight.... (I know that if they scan the luggage, they will confiscate it and it is embarasing if seen in public)  Hoping for a fast response.....
I will be traveling from Australia to Austria, transferring in Abu Dhabi. Is it alright for me to bring a vibrator in the check-in luggage, or are there laws against that?  It is approximately 17cm long. Are there any precautions to take?
What does "sudo apt-get update" do? Review of a proof for De Moivre's theorem using mathematical induction The following is a rigorous proof of De Moivre's theorem by means of mathematical induction. The theorem put simply is that:  Any complex number, $z = a+bi$, on a cartesian plane can be expressed in polar form, where $a=r\cos\theta$ and $b=r\sin\theta$ and $r$ is the absolute distance from the origin to the point $z$. In light of this, the expression for the complex number $z$ in polar form is $z=r(\cos\theta+i\sin\theta)$ In order to find the $n^{th}$ power of $z$, the following rule applies: $$\displaystyle z^n=(r(\cos\theta+i\sin\theta))^n=r^n(\cos n\theta+i\sin n\theta)$$ where $n\in\mathbb N$ (I have confined $n$ to the natural numbers given that I intend on using mathematical induction to prove the theorem.  Base step: We must prove that what is stated is true for $n=1$, hence $$z^1=r^1(\cos 1\cdot\theta+i\sin1\cdot \theta)$$ $$=r(\cos\theta+i\sin\theta)$$ which is true. Next we assume it is true for $n=k$, and therefore proceed to the inductive step. Inductive step: When calculating $z^{n+1}$, it's the same as calculating $z^nz$, hence $$z^{n+1}=(r^n(\cos n\theta + i\sin n\theta))(r(\cos \theta+i\sin \theta))$$ $$=r^nr(\cos n\theta+i\sin n\theta)(\cos\theta +i\sin \theta)$$ $$=r^{n+1}(\cos n\theta\cdot\cos\theta+\cos n\theta \cdot i\sin\theta+i\sin n\theta\cdot\cos\theta+i^2\sin n\theta\cdot\sin\theta)$$ from here, $i^2=-1$, and therefore $+i^2\sin n\theta\cdot\sin\theta$ becomes $-\sin n\theta\cdot\sin\theta$. In addition to this, the following trigonometric identities will be used: $$\sin(n\theta + \theta) = \sin n\theta\cdot\cos\theta+\cos n\theta\cdot\sin\theta$$ $$or$$ $$k\sin(n \theta+\theta)=k\sin n \theta\cdot\cos \theta + \cos n\theta\cdot k\sin\theta$$ $$and$$ $$\cos(n \theta + \theta)=\cos n\theta\cdot\cos\theta-\sin n\theta\cdot\sin\theta$$ by using these, the original equation has now become $$=r^{n+1}(\cos(n \theta + \theta) + i\sin(n \theta + \theta))$$ then, after factoring out $\theta$, the theorem becomes $$=r^{n+1}(\cos((n+1)\theta)+i\sin((n+1)\theta))$$ which completes the proof. Question: is this proof correct all the way through? Or have I missed any conditions? If all is well in the case of this proof, could somebody aid me in proving it for $\{n|n\in\mathbb R,n\geq1\}$ How do I setup an encrypted swap file? When I installed Ubuntu, I setup an encrypted home partition. Now I have come to an issue where I am running out of memory because I haven't setup swap. How can I setup an encrypted swap file?  A couple of times while booting I've seen some reference to cryptswap.

I'm playing on a Survival world with cheats on, "easy" difficulty, and at night in-game. I didn't have a sword or anything to make a sword with, and I was starving, so I switched to Creative to give myself a stack of food and a bed to set my spawn point. When I switched back to Survival, I couldn't destroy or place blocks. I'm on single player, and my Internet is fine, and I can destroy blocks still if I switch to creative. I've tried resetting the button one, and reloading the map, and it still doesn't work. I've even tried deleting everything I gave myself in Creative. This happened before on a different world and I ended up deleting it.  This only happens on this world. How do I fix it?  If I know I'm in the correct game mode, what else can cause this?  Are there different causes in multiplayer? It's not clear to me how to choose Spells Known when creating a new character at a higher level.  Let's take the Bard as a working example first:  Bard level 2:   Spells Known: 5 Slots per Spell level: 1st &times; 3   Bard level 3:   Spells Known: 6 Slots per Spell level: 1st &times; 4, 2nd &times; 2   I'm interpreting this to mean that, if an existing 2nd-level Bard gains a new level (level 3), he's gaining 1 (one) new spell known. He can then choose the new spell known to be either 1st or 2nd, correct?  What I don't understand then, is the case of creating a new character starting at a higher level; say, creating a new Bard at level 3.  In that case you're forced to choose 6 spells, which must be from the list of 1st- and 2nd-level spells, correct?  When making this 3rd-level Bard from scratch, though, can I select 2nd level spells for all 6 spells known?  As another example, say you're creating a very high level Bard from scratch, starting at level 15. The book says your Spells Known is 19, and your spell slots are 1st × 4, 2nd × 3, 3rd × 3, 4th × 3, 5th × 2, 6th × 1, 7th × 1, and 8th × 1.  So, for those 19 Spells Known, you can choose any spells from 1st through 8th spell level. Am I free then to select as many spells as I can at 8th spell level (5 in number), working backwards, and in the end ignoring the 1st, 2nd, 3rd level spells entirely?  As another example, the Ranger doesn't know any spells at 1st level, nor have any spell slots, but the book says “You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the ranger spell list.” Does it mean at 2nd level and above?  Long story short: When choosing Spells Known for a spellcasting character created above 1st level, am I allowed to choose my Spells Known at whatever spell level I like, just so long as I have at least one spell slot of that level?  I'm working on a D&amp;D 5e character generator and need to clarify this. Can we have a system to submit potential robo-reviewers for moderators attention? Make mouse left-handed and touchpad right-handed I see that I can configure mouse and touchpad all in one panel (Ubuntu 13.10, defaults, Gnome). Which is to some extend. Namely, I want to have the touchpad differently configured then the mouse and ...  When I have an (USB) mouse attached I use it normally left-handed. Therefore I switch the buttons to left-handed. But when I use the touchpad I feel little bit lost with that kind of configuration. Therefore I wanna have it right-handed.  Is there a way to achieve the following: when I plugin a mouse (respectively when it is detected) automatically switch to left-handed and when I unplug it, switch automatically to right-handed? Are Stormtroopers paid or rewarded in any way for their service? I'd like to find out why  \begin{align} \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{n^2}{2^n} = 6 \end{align}  I tried to rewrite it into a geometric series  \begin{align} \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{n^2}{2^n} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^nn^2 \end{align}  But I don't know what to do with the $n^2$. Run a GUI program at startup I am using Ubuntu 14.04. I wrote a small script named trial. The contents of the script are as follows:   #!/bin/sh SHELL=/bin/sh PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin      sh -c firefox   I copied the script to /etc/init.d, modified permission using chmod +x trial and used update-rc.d trial defaults. The file made link but when I rebooted the machine. It did not run firefox. I tried cron @reboot but with no success. I tried rc.local too again failure. What is the first reference in Sci-Fi to a touch-screen computer interface? I know in TNG that all computer interfaces are now touch-screen, and that got me thinking: when was the first reference to touch-screen computer interfaces in Sci-Fi made? Is there a direct, elementary proof of $n = \sum_{k|n} \phi(k)$? Do we use abstract algebra in real life? Do we use abstract algebra in real life?   Is there any application of abstract algebra in real life? How can I make schematic of this board? Does the pilot of a rocket ship experience an asymptotic approach to the speed of light? A question has recently come up that goes beyond my knowledge of special relativity.  Suppose a pilot has his foot on the gas pedal of a rocket ship and keeps it applied to achieve a constant acceleration, and he has a magical engine that can maintain the thrust needed to accomplish such acceleration even as the vehicle acquires mass.  He measures his acceleration at periodic intervals and sums it up as he goes.  Observers perceive the rocket to increase in speed and gradually approach the speed of light (but never reach it). Two possibilities are being debated for what the pilot observes, and my preference is for the first:   Time dilation gives him the impression that the summation of his readings are approaching light speed at a constant rate, but there is an asymptote involved here even in the inertial frame such that he never actually perceives himself to reach, let alone exceed, $c$, because time slows down to a crawl (as seen from the reference frame) before this can happen. Although to observers he is only approaching $c$, it is possible for the summation of the measurements on his accelerometer to indicate that he has surpassed $c$ and is now traveling faster than light.  From the reference frame he is approaching $c$ and his instruments in the inertial frame tell him that he has surpassed it.   I assume (1) is true beyond a doubt?  If so, is there a straightforward explanation for this? Ubuntu 20.04 no sound out of Bluetooth headphones How do I declare and initialize an array in Java? The LOTR wiki  Eru Ilúvatar intervened in the history of Arda:   creating Elves and Men removing Aman from the spherical Earth resurrecting Gandalf making Gollum trip      In a letter written by Tolkien, he stated that Eru again intervened, this time in the Third Age, causing Gollum to trip and fall into the fires of Mount Doom while still holding the One Ring, thus destroying it.   Is this correct? If so, what letter is this, and exactly what did Tolkien say? I have a Dell XPS 12 running Ubuntu 13.10 and it doesn't appear to find it's wireless.
