I've installed Ubuntu 15.10 Mate edition perfectly fine. I've created a swap, root, home partition and I've used the 100MB partition that Windows create as the efi partition.  Everything seems to work fine, except the moment I boot into windows. For some reason my computer doesn't seem to boot into grub anymore, but straight into Windows.  I've look into my uefi bios to look for the boot order. at first it said Ubuntu, but now it says Windows Boot Manager.  I am clueless at the moment, maybe you guys could help me.
I have a Sony VAIO S series with Windows 8 preinstalled, and I installed Ubuntu 12.10 on a new partition. When the PC boots Grub is display, and I can choose between Windows 8 (didn't worked at the beginning, had to change Grub settings) and Ubuntu 12.10. When I select Ubuntu 12.10 everything is OK, but when I use Windows 8, and I restart Grub isn't displayed anymore (Windows 8 boots immediately).  I booted a Ubuntu 12.10 LiveUSB, used efibootmgr, and found out that Windows 8 (each time it boots) changes EFI default bootloader from Grub to Windows Boot Manager.  How do I change this in Windows 8? I read something about bcdedit, but it does not work or I don't know how to use it...
Show that $\left|\frac{\alpha - \beta}{1-\bar{\alpha}\beta}\right| < 1$ when $|\alpha|,|\beta| < 1$ This is the question I'm stumbling with:   When $|\alpha| &lt; 1$ and $|\beta| &lt; 1$, show that:  $$\left|\cfrac{\alpha - \beta}{1-\bar{\alpha}\beta}\right| &lt; 1$$    The chapter that contains this question contains (among others) the triangle inequalities:   $$\left||z_1| - |z_2|\right| \le |z_1 + z_2| \le |z_1| + |z_2| $$  I've tried to use the triangle inequalities to increase the dividend and/or decrease the divisor:  $$\left|\cfrac{\alpha - \beta}{1-\bar{\alpha}\beta}\right| &lt; \cfrac{|\alpha| +|\beta|}{\left|1-|\bar{\alpha}\beta|\right|}$$  But it's not clear if or why that would be smaller than one.  I've also tried to multiply the equation by the conjugated divisor $\cfrac{1-\alpha\bar{\beta}}{1-\alpha\bar{\beta}}$, which gives a real divisor, but the equation does not appear solvable.  Any hint would be much appreciated. Wrong hyperref with repeated counter I'm having an interesting problem with hyperref.  Apparently, when a counter is reset by \setcounter{mycounter}{0} then hyperref always links to the first possible instance of the counter and not the one where the respective label sits.   Check this MWE out:   % !TEX TS-program = xelatexmk \documentclass{article} \usepackage[paperwidth=6in,paperheight=3in]{geometry} \usepackage{hyperref} \hypersetup{colorlinks=true, allcolors=blue, } \newcounter{mycounter}\setcounter{mycounter}{0} \newcommand\countme{\refstepcounter{mycounter}\themycounter}  \begin{document}  First line \countme{} has some interesting text.  The second line \countme \label{onelabel} has \textbf{more} interesting text.  As we saw at line \ref{onelabel} ...  \newpage  A new page brings new numbers \setcounter{mycounter}{0}   A very different first line \countme{} has other interesting text.  The second line \countme \label{otherlabel} has \textbf{different} interesting text.  As we saw at line \ref{otherlabel} ... \end{document}   As you can see in the screenshot below, the pop up preview of the \ref on the second page doesn't refer to the second line with \label{otherlabel} but to the one on the first page (also has the tooltip "Go to page 1" -- in TeXShop).   Am I not understanding something fundamental about hyperref?      The context for all this is an environment that resets my counter to 0 at begin.  And all subsequent \refs to labels in a second or third iteration of the environment point to the very first instance of that environment, not the correct one where the label sits. There is a line in the middle of my stroke.

I am using Apache Felix and its Declarative Services (SCR) to wire the service dependencies between bundles.  For example, if I need access to a java.util.Dictionary I can say the following to have SCR provide one:  /** * @scr.reference name=properties interface=java.util.Dictionary */  protected void bindProperties(Dictionary d) { }  protected void unbindProperties(Dictionary d) { }   Now, I have more than one Dictionary service available, and I want to filter them using the "name" service property (I only want "name=myDictionary"). I can do that with code (using a ServiceTracker), but I'd rather specify the filter in the @scr annotation instead. Unable to login after password change, having home directory encrypted Arrows linking table cells I'm currently trying to add arrows in my synthetic division example to show people clearly how synthetic division works. I'm working on Overleaf.   The code for my synthetic division right now is:  \begin{tabular}{c |r r r r r}     &amp;1&amp; 4 &amp; -1&amp;16&amp;-20\\   1&amp;&amp; 1 &amp; 5 &amp; 4&amp;20\\   \hline    &amp;1 &amp;5 &amp; 4 &amp; 20 &amp;\rule{3pt}{16pt}\;0\\   \end{tabular}   How would I add arrows to this? For instance, a down arrow going from the first 1 to 1, then an upwards arrow pointing right from 1 to 1, then an arrow pointing down from 1 to 5, etc. Basically I would like to add arrows that look like this: Maximize window shortcut What is the keyboard shortcut to maximize a window on OSX?

How to manage a redirect request after a jQuery Ajax call I'm using $.post() to call a servlet using Ajax and then using the resulting HTML fragment to replace a div element in the user's current page. However, if the session times out, the server sends a redirect directive to send the user to the login page. In this case, jQuery is replacing the div element with the contents of the login page, forcing the user's eyes to witness a rare scene indeed.

A problem about Vandemonde matrix Why are you not able to declare a class as static in Java? This question is prompted by:  and .  Basically, some diamond moderators don't always want to diamond-hammer close questions.  A workaround is to create a new account, , then cast regular close votes from that account.  Question: May a diamond moderator utilize a second, non-diamond account e.g. to cast regular close votes?     It is not a problem to have multiple accounts, as long as they aren't voting for each other and doing other sockpuppet-y things.      I worry this might be considered "sockpuppet-y".  The diamond close hammer is sometimes excessive, particularly  where moderators are .
