I'd like to know if there is anything for this in English which is roughly:      Shoot many arrows, one will fit.    I am from India and we have an idiom dedicated to it in Hindi but I, literally, searched the whole internet but failed to get anything similar in English. It can meaningfully be said as:      Try every option available, one will surely succeed.    Do you have any magical idiom/proverb or magic word for it that Google is trying to hide from me?
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.  What is the English idiom I'm looking for?
How can I transfer large files from Linux to iPad over a cable or wifi? I am looking for a way to transfer large files to the iPad without using iTunes or pushing to and pulling from a remote server.  I run an Ubuntu laptop as my only OS at the moment and want to be able to transfer movies to my iPad.  I currently transfer most of my files by way of the dropbox app which works well for small files but is quite slow for larger files and eats up my bandwidth.  Ideally I'd like to be able to transfer over a cable or through WiFi.  Thanks for any tips. So, floor is a function that converts a real number to an integer. It rounds down. This makes sense; however, what about complex numbers? I know that depending on the number, it can be split linearly. However, I do not know what $\lfloor i\rfloor$ equals. Is there a clearly defined definition of $\lfloor i\rfloor$? How far do you go with const?  Do you just make functions const when necessary or do you go the whole hog and use it everywhere?  For example, imagine a simple mutator that takes a single boolean parameter:  void SetValue(const bool b) { my_val_ = b; }   Is that const actually useful?  Personally I opt to use it extensively, including parameters, but in this case I wonder if it's worthwhile?  I was also surprised to learn that you can omit const from parameters in a function declaration but can include it in the function definition, e.g.:  .h file  void func(int n, long l);   .cpp file  void func(const int n, const long l)   Is there a reason for this? It seems a little unusual to me. com.google.android.trichromelibrary causes many Android apps to crash Exclude one pattern from glob match Evaluation of $\sin \frac{\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{2\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{3\pi}{7}$ Evaluation of $$\sin \frac{\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{2\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{3\pi}{7} = $$   $\bf{My\; Try::}$ I have solved Using Direct formula::  $$\sin \frac{\pi}{n}\cdot \sin \frac{2\pi}{n}\cdot......\sin \frac{(n-1)\pi}{n} = \frac{n}{2^{n-1}}$$  Now Put $n=7\;,$ We get   $$\sin \frac{\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{2\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{3\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{4\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{5\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{6\pi}{7}=\frac{7}{2^{7-1}}$$  So $$\sin \frac{\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{2\pi}{7}\cdot \sin \frac{3\pi}{7} =\frac{\sqrt{7}}{8}$$  Now my question is how can we solve it without using Direct Formula, Help me  Thanks In some cases, questions and answers that have been deleted are still showing up on /review pages.

When I downloaded Ubuntu onto my USB stick, it won't start up.  Do I first have to download Ubuntu onto my chromebook hard drive, open Ubuntu and then make USB stick bootable? And then return back to chrome?  Or is there a way to download directly onto USB and make the stick bootable?  I appreciate any help. Add default syntax highlighting for the [dart] tag I just approved several edits from a user adding  to questions with the  tag. Apparently , Google Code Prettify has added support for Dart.  I suggest it's time to follow suit and update the default syntax highlighting associated with the  tag. Adding it manually to every question sounds like way too much work, even if I all I have to do is click the "Approve" button. Is it possible to run the Windows 10 Command prompt on Windows 7?

Installing Ubuntu on one of two hard drives I'm entering the world of Linux and at work I'm using grep more and more.  By doing that I'm figuring out that sometimes it's not adequate for what I want.  I was struggling with grep a few days ago and a colleague of mine who is a senior Linux admin, told me to use awk. I was stunned by how fast I got a result.  So my question is when do you choose to use one over the other? What questions can I ask myself before going to work with grep and spending a lot of time, when I could have done it with awk and saved time? Why is the ampere a base unit and not the coulomb? I always thought of current as the time derivative of charge, $\frac{dq}{dt}$. However, I found out recently that it is the ampere that is the base unit and not the coulomb. Why is this? It seems to me that charge can exist without current, but current cannot exist without charge. So the logical choice for a base unit would be the coulomb. Right? Why is the potential energy equal to the negative integral of a force? If $$\tan(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\theta}{2})=\tan^3(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\alpha}{2})$$, then prove that $$\sin \theta=\frac{3 \sin \alpha+\sin^3 \alpha}{1+3\sin^2 \alpha}$$  I tried using the fact that  $\frac{\cos A}{1-\sin A}=\tan(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{A}{2})$ but now not able to eliminate $\cos \alpha$ and $\cos \theta$. How should I proceed?
