I want to install Ubuntu 18.04 alongside Windows 10 using a USB flash drive on an Asus K401UQ laptop - i7 6th gen, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD + 24GB SSD.  I have left enough unallocated space to install Ubuntu using the - diskmgmt.msc - Windows 10 application.  The problem is I can't find the hard disk when I try to install it as shown in the below screenshots.
I have just got a new laptop, It is running Windows 7 Home Premium.  I have shrunk the windows partition to give me some empty space and now I want to install ubuntu.  From Windows my partitions look like:   So now in the ubuntu live cd If I hit install and go manual the partitioner looks like   So I thought I could just select the empty space and be away laughing, but when I hit it I get
Increase close vote weight for gold tag badge holders In order to increase the efficiency with which poor quality questions are closed, it could make sense to have weighted close votes for a small subset of qualified users.   A very good way to measure the qualified users would be to leverage the tag badges. However, it needs to be rationally limited to a set of users that are knowledgeable with the subject. A very good way to measure the top users in a tag would be to look at those who have a gold badge in the tag.  If two users who have a gold tag badge pertinent to a question issue a close vote, the question should probably be closed (or probably will be very soon under the current system). I think it would make sense to allow users with a gold tag badge to have a 3x weight for close votes in those tags.  Please keep in mind, this isn't suggesting full moderator one click closure. It only adds weight to the vote. A single user could not do it on their own. These singular users cast close votes all the time, so that aspect would not change. Some will vote to close, some wont, but the ones who do should have a stronger weight to their vote. Even with 3x it will require 2 of said votes to accomplish, or still 2 other users (meaning 3 agreed it should be closed - which is the same amount of high rep users it takes to delete a question and that has a much greater impact than closure).  tldr;  Allow gold tag badge users to have a weighted close vote in their tag Many years ago I read a book or story where a group of people discover a dark city - maybe on another planet - which appears devoid of life but is in very good condition. As they gradually explore the city one of the them falls into a trap and is cut to pieces by something mechanical. This detail I can remember as it was a pretty gruesome idea. I don't know the ending but my guess is that none of them make it out alive. Mortarboard badges being awarded as a result of bounties after recalc I'm a bit surprised from my US Visa. I plan to go to a conference on 3rd of April. Amazingly though, the visa expiration date is written as April 3rd.  So what does that mean. Can I enter the US on April 3rd? or should I enter one day earlier? Which pseudo-$R^2$ measure is the one to report for logistic regression (Cox & Snell or Nagelkerke)? I have SPSS output for a logistic regression model. The output reports two measures for the model fit, Cox &amp; Snell and Nagelkerke.  So as a rule of thumb, which of these $R^²$ measures would you report as the model fit?  Or, which of these fit indices is the one that is usually reported in journals?    Some Background: The regression tries to predict the presence or absence of a bird (capercaillie) from some environmental variables (e.g., steepness, vegetation cover, ...). Unfortunately, the bird did not appear very often (35 hits to 468 misses) so the regression performs rather poorly. Cox &amp; Snell is .09, Nagelkerke, .23.    The subject is environmental sciences or ecology. Take the following function:  DataTable go() {     return someTableAdapter.getSomeData(); }   When I set a breakpoint in this function, is there a possibility to inspect the returned value? go() is directly coupled to a datagrid in an .aspx page.  The only way to inspect the returned datatable is to use a temporary variable. However, that's a bit inconvenient. Isn't there another way? SharePoint search not showing any results when searching partial name such as "frank" I have search service application configured.  Suppose my first name is "frankmartin" (no spaces)  When I search "frankmartin" then it displays search results in both "People" and "Site" search. But when I search "frank" it doesn't display any search result. Why is that?  EDIT  I am not using advanced search and have made this search results page using those search web parts which you can add in page to display results. I need to cite the journal "Sankhyā: The Indian Journal of Statistics" in a paper.  I would like to draw the ā character properly (i.e., I'd prefer, if possible, to avoid using some hack, such as \bar or \overline).  Question: How do I properly write ā in LaTeX?  I didn't have luck with  (after several attempts in both in capital and lowercase) nor The Comprehensive LATEX Symbol List (searching the file for "ā" and "india" revealed no hits). Define $S\equiv\{ x\in \mathbb{Q}\mid x^2<2\}$. Show that $\sup S=\sqrt{2} $. Triggered by a  I was wondering what actually would happen to a ship (e.g. the Enterprise-D NCC-1701) that collides with a stationary object such as a) another ship of a similar configuration or b) a gigantic structure like a moon or even a planet.  We know the deflector is supposed to keep interstellar dust (not to be confused with ordinary dust, which is a different thing) from ripping large holes in the ship.  At first, one thinks "Obvious. ." But does it really? Would the deflector manage to actually deflect both masses? If not, where is the threshold of what a deflector can handle? Would the ship maybe tunnel right through the object, because of wibbly-wobbly space wobblification by the warp field? It does do some weird things to the space right in front and behind the vessel.  Important remark: We cannot approach this with what we know about physics at all. For all intents and purposes, both ships must measure the other ship travelling faster than light, resulting in it having infinite (or rather undefined) mass and by extension momentum. If we start with that reasoning any ship jumping to warp would suck in the entire universe (it takes a moment, but think about it). So, obviously we cannot apply our intuition (even our relativistic intuition) here. How to model non-negative zero-inflated continuous data? I'm currently trying to apply a linear model (family = gaussian) to an indicator of biodiversity that cannot take values lower than zero, is zero-inflated and is continuous. Values range from 0 to a little over 0.25. As a consequence, there is quite an obvious pattern in the residuals of the model that I haven't managed to get rid of:   Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this? Everything I have read says that you do not need to soak lentils like you would beans.  Unfortunately the last several times I have cooked lentils they have seemed a little chalky.    Should I be soaking my lentils before I cook them? What happens if I unsubscribe from Apple Music, then resubscribe at a later date? The adverb "quite" has the following meanings :     1: wholly, completely ("not quite   finished")      2: to an extreme : positively "quite   sure" —often used as an intensifier   with a "quite a swell guy" "quite a   beauty"      3: to a considerable extent : rather   ("quite near")   My understanding is that #1 and #2 conflict with #3. For example, when you say "She's quite right", do you mean "She's completely right" or "To a considerable extent, she's right"? Notice that in the latter case you're not saying that she is completely right.  Another example is "I'm quite sure". Does it necessarily mean "I'm completely sure"?   Does the word really have conflicting meanings that can possibly cause ambiguity? Or am I missing something? I'd like to use a sequence of boxes to show how TeX works. I read some time ago that everything (or almost) in TeX are boxes.  So, how to show only the TeX boxes that surround each character, each line, each paragraph?  I'd like something similar to the image below, not fbox which contains blank space around it. apt-get cannot connect to Ubuntu archives How do I avoid checking for updates for a specific module? In a current project I have had to patch the life out of a few modules (node hierarchy, workbench access and a few more). These modules are now absolutely perfect for the project's needs and are very unlikely to break with future updates to core.  That being said, when the app is handed over the clients will have full (user 1) access to the system and will therefore be warned when these modules have available updates. And they will update them, no matter how many times I beg them not to (oh how easy life would be without clients!).  Is there a way (perhaps in the modules' .info files) to persuade the update manager not to check for updates for these modules?  EDIT  I'm aware of the project status url key that's available for the .info file so I guess I could set that to a non-existent URL but I'd much rather do this in a clean way if possible. My disk already has 4 primary partitions, how can I install Ubuntu? I would like to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7 on a HP G62 Notebook. Although I have installed  Ubuntu in a dual-boot many times before, I found out that this model has already four partitions.    Partitions:   SYSTEM (NTFS, 199MB, used 66.59MB) Partition without any tag: NTFS (579GM, used 129GB)  RECOVERY (NTFS 16.74 GB, used 2.42GB)  HP_TOOLS (FAT32, 103.34 MB, used 13.23MB)   Since I am not an expert with partitions I would like to get advice on how to do this.  My first idea is this one:   Free some space from /dev/sda2 (I don't know if could also free some other space) delete the HP_Tools partition (I have already created a backup) create an extended partition with the free space in #1 containing three parititions: swap (1gb); / (EXT4, 30GB);  /home (EXT4, 120GB)   Another option is to use wubi instead.  What do you think? Is there any other way to achieve this?  PS: I really think this HP policy of using 4 partitions is not a coincidence  PS: I tried using gparted from the live CD and I got a warning message saying that if I freed some space from /dev/sda2 I could create serious issues in the system Is there a way in Java to have a map where the type parameter of a value is tied to the type parameter of a key? What I want to write is something like the following:  public class Foo {     // This declaration won't compile - what should it be?     private static Map&lt;Class&lt;T&gt;, T&gt; defaultValues;      // These two methods are just fine     public static &lt;T&gt; void setDefaultValue(Class&lt;T&gt; clazz, T value) {         defaultValues.put(clazz, value);     }      public static &lt;T&gt; T getDefaultValue(Class&lt;T&gt; clazz) {         return defaultValues.get(clazz);     } }   That is, I can store any default value against a Class object, provided the value's type matches that of the Class object. I don't see why this shouldn't be allowed since I can ensure when setting/getting values that the types are correct.  EDIT: Thanks to cletus for his answer. I don't actually need the type parameters on the map itself since I can ensure consistency in the methods which get/set values, even if it means using some slightly ugly casts. About the point $P$ inside a square $ABCD$ satisfying $BP = BC$ and $\angle APD = 90^\circ$ There is a problem I'm trying to solve from the Polish XI Olimpiada Matematyczna Gimnazjalistów. It is question 2 from . (The deadline of 12 October 2015 has passed.)    So far I found $x^2$ and $y^2$ (that are $|AP|^2$ and $|PD|^2$).  In order to prove, that AP=2PD, can I just divide $$ \sqrt{\frac{x^2}{y^2}} $$ and show, that it equals $2$?
