I use Ubuntu 14.04 on my desktop. I am considering upgrading to 16.04 so I looked at . I downloaded a 16.04 iso file and then used Startup Disk Creator to create a bootable 16.04 USB stick.  Part way through the process I received a message: "A volume with software packages has been detected. Would you like to open it with the package manager?"  This worried me as I thought it may install 16.04 on my hard disk and not on the USB so I aborted the process.  Will answering "yes" install 16.04 on my hard disk?
This comes up every time I login, how do I remove this or fix it.  Thanks.
Supersymmetric Localization (Mirror Symmetry) I'm reading Chapter 9 of . As you can see in eq. (9.30) his model for SUSY is  $$\begin{align} \delta_\epsilon X &amp;=\epsilon^1\psi_1 + \epsilon^2\psi_2\\ \delta\psi_1 &amp;= \epsilon^2\partial h\\ \delta\psi_2 &amp;=-\epsilon^1\partial h.  \end{align}\tag{9.30}$$  I understand that if $\partial h\neq 0$ it is possible to see that partition function vanishes, in particular, there is a total divergence:  $$ \int \mathrm{d}\hat{X}e^{\frac{1}{2}(\partial h(\hat{X}))^2}\frac{\partial^2 h(\hat{X})}{(\partial h(\hat{X}))^2}. \tag{*} $$  The implication that a total divergence yields vanishing integral, it is a bit strange, because, since every function that admit a primitive is a total derivative. What is the meaning of that implication? Then why $(*)$ vanishes? It seems to me that, in general, $$ \int \mathrm{d}(h')\frac{e^{\frac{1}{2}(h')^2}}{(h')^2}\neq 0. $$  Then, again, when he claims that if there is a $x_0$ such that $h'(x_0)=0$ we can use again the argument of the total divergence, why doesn't he keep in account that, removing a small neighborhood of $x_0$, give us some contribution at the border of that neighborhood (two points)? I'm wondering if it makes a difference in interpretation whether only the dependent, both the dependent and independent, or only the independent variables are log transformed.  Consider the case of  log(DV) = Intercept + B1*IV + Error    I can interpret the IV as the percent increase but how does this change when I have   log(DV) = Intercept + B1*log(IV) + Error   or when I have   DV = Intercept + B1*log(IV) + Error   ? UK visit visa: What documents prove genuine relationship with the visitor? In the UK immigration rules for visitor visa  it states if;      Funds, maintenance and accommodation provided by a third party      V 4.3 A visitor’s travel, maintenance and accommodation may be   provided by a third party where the decision maker is satisfied that   they:      (a) have a genuine professional or personal relationship with the   visitor;and      (b) are not, or will not be, in breach of UK immigration laws at the   time of decision or the visitor’s entry to the UK; and      (c) can and will provide support to the visitor for the intended   duration of their stay.   I'm a UK  citizen. I'm planning to invite my brother-in-law and another close friend to the UK. In my invitation letter, I have clearly mentioned that I'm going to provide them accommodation only. They have prove sufficient funds to support themselves. I have sent them an invitation letter along with a copy of my passport and tenant agreement.   What other documents do I need to provide to indicate that it is a genuine professional or personal relationship with the visitor? Can a multiclass character use either of its spellcasting modifiers for spells? Can I take a sex-toy on plane through UAE? 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? C# vertical label in a Windows Forms Google Voice Recognition on iOS I was trying to remove all the lines of a file except the last line but the following command did not work, although file.txt is not empty.  $cat file.txt |tail -1 &gt; file.txt  $cat file.txt   Why is it so? Vertical alignment in tabularx X column type I'd like to create a new column type which works exactly like a X column from tabularx but that also has the text vertically centered. I tried with the newcolumntype command but I can't figure out where to put the second column type? Example:  \newcolumntype{n}{&gt;{\centering\arraybackslash}X}   Where should I put the mto specify that the cells content should be vertically centered? Server socket program not executing after connection establishment How do I allow non-root access to /ttyUSB0? Since I updated from Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) to Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), I am unable to access the device connected in /ttyUSB0 if I don't have root access.  To be more specific, I use a USB-to-serial com port converter to access and configure Cisco equipment with software called . It happens that, since I upgraded to 12.04, PuTTY only sees the connected device when I run it as gksudo putty. If not, it says "unable to connect to port /ttyUSB0".  I have managed to change the permissions via chmod 666, and it works, but if I disconnect the USB device and reconnect, it goes back to root only. How do I permanently allow non-root access? I have a clue it might be via  rules, but I have no idea how to do it.  Obs.: Manufacturer and drivers are "PROLIFIC" Is it legal to run windows on a mac? I understand that it is Illegal to run OSx on a windows machine or PC for that matter, but is it illegal to do the reverse? Why or why not? How do you become friends with someone? The total number of subsets is $2^n$ for $n$ elements In my probability book, it says that to count the total number of subsets of n elements is a process of $n$ stages with binary choice of either adding this element to the subset or not to add it. Therefore, the total number is $$2^n$$  But, for instance, we have 3 elements, according to this formula, there are 2 to the power of 3 elements, namely 8, which are $${\emptyset},A,B,C, AB, AC, BC, ABC$$  However, I have a hard time of imagining the process or N stages binary choice that form this many subsets. Can anyone explain/help me to understand it? I mean, ABC, if we are making the choice of A, put it in or do not put it in, exactly which subset are we choosing to put in or not? Thank you. Create a table with LaTeX I need to copy a table from a pdf file to my LaTeX document. I know I have to do it by hand but still don't understand how to create a table with LaTeX. Irreducible polynomial is always separable in char 0 field Given the following groups, what is the maximum possible order for an element for   (a) $S_5$ (b) $S_6$ (c) $S_7$ (d) $S_{10}$ (e) $S_{15}$  My book justifies the answer as          (a) The greatest order is $6$ and comes from a product of disjoint cycles of length 2 and 3          (b) The greatest order is $6$ and comes from a cycle of length $6$      The other answers were justified exactly the same way, that is (c) 12, (d) 30, (e) 105  I do not understand how in (a) we even got the number "6" from $S_5$ and what disjoint cycles they are referring to. Could someone at least justify one for me? I think that  is pretty good prima-facia evidence that  is just facilitating the deposition of crap. I'm new to Linux and am trying to set up Python / Django on my machine!  I installed Python 3.3 from the source file and it was compiled into /usr/local/bin. Then I created a symbolic link between /usr/bin/python and /usr/local/bin/python3, so that whenever I invoke python from the command line it uses the latest version.

Pattern matching with LIKE, SIMILAR TO or regular expressions in PostgreSQL I had to write a simple query where I go looking for people's name that start with a B or a D :   SELECT s.name  FROM spelers s  WHERE s.name LIKE 'B%' OR s.name LIKE 'D%' ORDER BY 1   I was wondering if there is a way to rewrite this to become more performant. So I can avoid or and / or like?
