I am getting very slow internet speed in the terminal. Whenever I try to install any software/package with apt-get install or do apt-get update, the internet speed is very slow, like about 20 kB/s (160 kb/s) while my internet speed is 10 Mbps. I have an ASUS FX-553VD-DM483 laptop, and I have Windows 10 and Ubuntu and several Linux distributions multiple booted. Screenshots are attached.  The speed on the terminal:   Actual Speed on browser:   I saw  of the same problem but it suggests to change the server to the best server. I have a personal computer on the same network which gives more than 1 MBPS speed on every terminal operation from the same Indian servers. So the problem lies in my laptop Ubuntu itself. I thought of drivers issue but if it was a drivers issue then browsers might have given slow speed, but browsers giving considerable amount of speed and all other applications like Tixati and torrent. Please help!  Note: I tried with both Wifi and Wired with my laptop; same problems occurs with both. Note:: I have installed kali repositories and some of the kali tools using the tool katoolin from github! I tried finding the best server and still the speed is same.
I just installed a fresh install of 32-bit 12.04 LTS Pangolin today. When I tried to install a few applications, it was really slow. But when I download a .deb or .tar.gz file from on my web browser, it is a lot faster.

My teacher told me that two parallel lines have a point of intersection, it is called Point at infinity. But I I can't understand how it can be true or how was it proved, can someone explain this to me?  Thank you. Proving that a number with digits 1...9 in some order, ending in 5, is not a perfect square. If "x" is a 9 digit number , which contains digits from 1 to 9 which ends in 5 . Prove that it can't be a perfect square ( digits are not to be repeated).  Please suggest the solution of this question. Set the size of pgf picture? I have a pgf picture which I insert with:  \input{m1.pgf}   But the image is too big. Instead of regenerating a smaller image, I'd rather take advantage of vector graphics, and have XeLaTeX scale it.

Toggle Switch to swap the connections of two buttons I am trying to mod my arcade stick so I can switch two commonly swapped buttons on the controller.  Essentially they are simple 2 terminal momentary switches connected directly to the controller PCB. I would like to switch their responsibilities, so in my case the Back button and the LB button on the XBox pcb I would like to swap so the Back actuates the LB button on the PCB and the LB actuates the Back button.  My assumption is that I would need a switch with 8 terminals, 4 in 4 out.  What type of switch am I looking for? MTG: Sideboard if maindeck has more than 60 cards I need to purchase my first ever lens. So far I've only used lenses that were built into a camera. This specific lens is for the BlackMagic Deign Pocket Cinema Camera (a video only camera, but one that uses photography lenses). I would prefer this to be a prime lens.  I have tried to find the exact way to calculate the focal length of the lens I need but I have not been able to find a good resource to make this simple enough for my limited optics knowledge. Can you please explain a simple way to calculate the focal length of a lens given the following inputs as an example:    I would prefer a simplified mathematical explanation so that I may use it to make similar determinations in the future using a "" method.  I have . Using that method, I came up with:  Required lens focal length = 7.02mm sensor height x (77in / 36in) = 15mm   Is that correct? How do I restore a Places folder I accidentally deleted in Nautilus? Given an alphabet of size $n$, how many strings of length $c$ contain every single letter of the alphabet at least once?  I first attempted to use a recurrence relation to work it out:  $$ T(c) = \left\{ \begin{array}{cr} 0 &amp;\mbox{ if $c&lt;n$} \\ n! &amp;\mbox{ if $c = n$} \\ T(c-1) \cdot n \cdot c &amp;\mbox{ if $c &gt; n$} \end{array} \right. $$  As there's no strings that contain every letter if c &lt; n, and if c = n then it's just all permutations. When c > n you can take any string of size (c-1) that contains all letters (of which there are $T(c-1)$ to choose from), you choose which letter to add (of which there are $n$ choices) and there are $c$ different positions to put it. However, this gives out results that are larger than $n^c$ (the total number of strings), so it can't be right, and I realised it was because you could count some strings multiple times, as you can make them taking different inserting steps.   Then I thought about being simpler: you choose n positions in the string, put each letter of the alphabet in one of those positions, then let the rest of the string be anything:  $$ {c\choose{n}} \cdot n! \cdot n^{c-n} $$  But again this counts strings multiple times.  I've also considered using multinomial coefficients, but as we don't know how many times each letter appears in the string it seems unlikely they would be much help. I've also tried several other methods, some complicated and some simple, but none of them seem to work.  How would you go about working out a formula for this? I'm sure there's something simple that I'm missing. Can a jar that has had botulinum food in it be cleaned If a home canned jar has botulinum in it can the jar be cleaned and saved? If so what is the correct way to clean the jar? $\|h(x)-h(y)\|\geq 3\|x-y\|$ prove that image of open is open How do I complete the square from the point I have left off at, and is this correct so far?   I have a normal prior for $\beta$ of the form $p(\beta|\sigma^2)\sim \mathcal{N}(0,\sigma^2V)$, to get:  $p(\beta|\sigma^2)=(2\pi\sigma^2V)^\frac{p}{2}\exp[-\frac{1}{2\sigma^2}\beta^T\beta]$  where $\beta^T\beta$ is   $\sum\limits_{i=1}^p \beta_i^2$.  My likelihood has a normal distribtuion for the data points y of the form $p(y|\beta,\sigma^2)\sim\mathcal{N}(B\beta,\sigma^2I)  $  $p(y|\beta,\sigma^2)=(2\pi \sigma^2V)^\frac{n}{2}\exp[-\frac{1}{2\sigma^2}({\bf y}-{\bf B}{\bf \beta})^T({\bf y}-{\bf B}{\bf \beta})]$  (Note that $\beta$ is a matrix/vector too, \bf does not work.)  To get my posterior for $\beta$ I combined the above, took the exponential parts only, and then expanded to get:  $\exp[-\frac{1}{2\sigma^2}({\bf y}^T{\bf y}-{\bf y}^T{\bf B}\beta-\beta{\bf B}^T{\bf y}-\beta^T{\bf B}^T{\bf B}\beta)]\exp[-\frac{1}{2\sigma^2}({\bf \beta}^T{\bf B})]$.  I dropped the $({\bf y}^T{\bf y})$ term, as is not a function of $\beta$.  Putting into one expression without the exponential:  $-\frac{1}{2\sigma^2}(-{\bf y}^T{\bf B}\beta-\beta{\bf B}^T{\bf y}-\beta^T{\bf B}^T{\bf B}\beta+{\bf \beta}^T{\bf B})$.  I know I need to combine the similar terms and get into the form of the multivariate normal distribution, which is what I am aiming for, but I am unsure how to do this? I probably have to add an extra term to the expression to get it into the correct form?  Note: This is not homework, it's a project, but my Bayesian working knowledge is not good at all and so I need to understand the working out. I intend to integrate out the $\beta$ and then the $\sigma^2$ after getting into the multivariate form. Set Snap Mode with PyQGIS I am trying to set snap mode within QGIS plugin.  So far, I have tried:  QgsSnappingUtils().setSnapToMapMode(QgsSnappingUtils.SnapAdvanced)   and  QgsSnappingUtils().setSnapToMapMode(2)   without success.  QGIS Snapping options (Settings>>Snapping Options...) continue with:  Snapping mode = Current layer  Any hint? (Using v 2.14.0) I am using QGIS and I created a vector grid on a crop field in order to cut it into plots. I want to save each grid cell into individual polygon shapefiles automatically.  Here is an example of a vector grid I would like to split into 117 shapefiles:    Eventually, I did it manually with the selection tool and "Save as" but it is really time-consuming when there are more than 100 plots to save.    Is there any way to do it faster and more automatically?  Each plot as an attribute named "Plot" that can discriminate against them (basically being id + 1). It's the attribute used here to label them. sudo credential caching on by default Why is an untranslated string not showing up? In my module I have some custom strings.

How would you explain why $e^{i\pi}+1=0$ to a middle school student? Hi I was asked by a friends child who is in middle school why $e^{i\pi}+1=0$. Now I couldn't think of a way to explain it so he would understand. Albert Einstein once said “If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough” so how would I explain it. Ubuntu Won't Boot After Install on Samsung NP915S3G: error "All boot options are tried." So yesterday I went ahead and bought the Samsung NP915S3G (ATIV Book 9 Lite) and installed Tahr in hope that everything would go smoothly. For the most part it; everything necessary seems to work off the bat. Unfortunately when I restart it, nothing boots. I erased Windows so that's obviously not an option, but the computer seems pretty dead certain that there's nothing there to boot. I think this might have a lot to do with UEFI which is a field I have next to no experience with. There also seems to be a fat32 partition that consistently reappears when I delete it.   Any help is much appreciated, thanks. I process all my photos to black and white. Although I use a polariser where possible, I often find myself wanting to drop the luminance of the sky further which I do using a Black and White adjustment layer (in Photoshop). This usually results in a lighter halo following the line of the horizon, where the blues of the sky meet whatever the colour of the land is.  My current solution to this problem is to run a brush along this margin with a colour set to the same as the sky and the blend-mode set to Darken. This effectively paints in the lighter band with the sky colour while not laying down the colour on top of the darker horizon. Whilst this is effective, it is very time consuming.  Is there a better approach to dealing with these halos?  Here is a video that illustrated the Darken solution that I mention: Glucagon stimulates glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, thus increasing the plasma glucose concentration — so that tissues get enough glucose in the fasting state. However glucagon also inhibits glycolysis. In this case, what is the point of having high blood glucose if it cannot be catabolized?
