I've found that many manpages uses the quotation : &ensp;`c/s' i.e quoting character or sting inside grave accent(`) &amp; apostophe(').  Example visit manpage of ,  etc. and you'll find the quotation under `':  Example:     OPTIONS   &emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;The -H, -L and -P options control the treatment of symbolic links.  Command-line arguments following these are taken  to  be  names of files or directories to be examined, up to the first argument that begins with `-', or the argument `(' or `!'.  That argument and any following arguments are taken to be the expression  describing what is to be searched for.  If no paths are given, the current directory is used.  If no expression is given, the expression -print is used (but you should probably consider using -print0 instead, anyway).      &emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;This manual page talks about `options' within the expression list.  These options  control  the  behaviour  of find  but  are  specified immediately after the last path name.  The five `real' options -H, -L, -P, -D and -O must appear before the first path name, if at all.  A double dash -- can also  be  used  to  signal  that  any remaining  arguments  are  not options (though ensuring that all start points begin with either `./' or `/' is generally safer if you use wildcards in the list of start points).   See the quotation used for emphasized characters. I've to use escape character () to avoid undesired formatting in above quoted text (visualize it by hitting edit button!)   So, I am curious to know about the usage of this quotation used. What is the usage of such quotation or when &amp; why such quotation is used?
I've noticed that man pages and other documents formatted by Unix utilities often use double backticks `` followed by double single quotes '' to wrap quoted phrases instead of the double quote character ". Single quotes are similarly replaced. Why is this?  Here are a couple examples, from the man page for grep:   To find all occurrences of the pattern `.Pp' at the beginning of a line:         $ grep '^\.Pp' myfile   The apostrophes ensure the entire expression is evaluated by grep instead  of by the user's shell.  The caret `^' matches the null string at the  beginning of a line, and the `\' escapes the `.', which would otherwise match  any character.   The grep utility is compliant with the IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1'')  specification.
Can blender use the Alpha channel of an image as transparency on a plane? Why don't researchers request payment for refereeing? Why would I want to use Interfaces? I understand that they force you to implement methods and such but what I cant understand is why you would want to use them. Can anybody give me a good example or explanation on why I would want to implement this. How fast a (relatively) small black hole will consume the Earth? This question appeared quite a time ago and was inspired, of course, by all the fuss around "LHC will destroy the Earth".   Consider a small black hole, that is somehow got inside the Earth. Under "small" I mean small enough to not to destroy Earth instantaneously, but large enough to not to evaporate due to the . I need this because I want the black hole to "consume" the Earth. I think reasonable values for the mass would be $10^{15} - 10^{20}$ kilograms.   Also let us suppose that the black hole is at rest relative to the Earth.  The question is: How can one estimate the speed at which the matter would be consumed by the black hole in this circumstances? Office 2016 Advanced Setup I just started the Office 2016 Setup/Installation on my Windows 10 PC. The installation worked fine and started automatically showing only this dialog:    But there are no additional settings possible! I need to choose which programs I want to install and also add additional tools that are often missing when doing a default installation.  How can I change the Office Installation Settings?   Choose programs to install Add/Remove Office Tools (Maybe) Office installation directory   When I check after the installation in the the windows settings, the Office can only be uninstalled - no modifications available: $C^1[a,b]$ is closed in $C[a,b]$ Proof that for $a,b,c\in \mathbb{R}$, hold that $\left |\sqrt {a^2+b^2}-\sqrt {a^2+c^2}  \right |\leq \left |b-c  \right |$. Give me a clue, I don't have any idea to work with that inequality. Bookmark panel in Chrome/Chromium like in Firefox I know, it's been asked before but I couldn't really get a satisfying answer for some details/backgrounds and I guess it's an important question for many.    Some application seem only to be running with Adobe Flash 15 (or at least I know it does, because I have that version on my Windows Partition).  The official Adobe website says:     NOTE: Adobe Flash Player 11.2 will be the last version to target Linux as a supported platform. Adobe will continue to provide security backports to Flash Player 11.2 for Linux.   Some search on the web like "Ubuntu Adobe Flash 15" or similar does not return any good websites.  I found something that says   (using a "pepper-based version"), and  .   Is it impossible to use this for Firefox too? Would it be a privacy risk?  Are there no alternative projects (I know it's closed source but there are so many so very bright people out there using something similar to wine but just for the plugin....)?  How about the Mac-Version? Shouldn't someone be able to port that one to Linux? I have 1-band GeoTIFF file. The color interpretation for band is gray. I want a color table in order to transform my Col.tiff to Col.jpeg or Col.png.  I tried putting a color table in this tiff via a .vrt:  gdal_translate -of VRT  Col.tiff Col.vrt   then adding in the .vrt:  &lt;ColorInterp&gt;Palette&lt;/ColorInterp&gt; &lt;ColorTable&gt;    &lt;Entry c1="0" c2="0" c3="255" c4="240"/&gt;    &lt;Entry c1="0" c2="0" c3="254" c4="240"/&gt;    &lt;Entry c1="0" c2="0" c3="253" c4="240"/&gt;    &lt;Entry c1="0" c2="0" c3="252" c4="240"/&gt; &lt;/ColorTable&gt;   And translate again :  gdal_translate Col.vrt Col.tiff   But it answered:  Warning 1: Unable to export color table to GeoTIFF file.  Color tables can only be written to 1 band or 2 bands Byte or UInt16 GeoTIFF files.   How can I do it?  For information, there is gdalinfo for the Band:  Band 1 Block=55x18 Type=Float64, ColorInterp=Gray   Description = Something   Metadata:     GRIB_COMMENT=Something[p]     GRIB_ELEMENT=TMP     GRIB_FORECAST_SECONDS=0 sec     GRIB_REF_TIME=1401926400 sec UTC     GRIB_SHORT_NAME=SMTHG     GRIB_UNIT=[p]     GRIB_VALID_TIME=1401926400 sec UTC Prove $(x_1+.....+x_n)^2 \leq n(x_1^2 + .....+x_n^2)$ Prove that  $(x_1+\dots+x_n)^2 \leq n(x_1^2 + \dots+x_n^2)$  for all positive integers n and all real numbers $x_1,....,x_n$  I am attempting a proof by induction but wasn't sure if i need the Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality or perhaps another way other than induction to prove this.  Proof   $n=1$ true  assume true for $n=k$  Now for $n= k+1$  $(x_1 + \dots +x_k + x_{k+1})^2 \leq \dots$ My directory (in Linux) looks like com/com/{various,files} where com and com are folders of the same name and the second com holds the various files.
