I wonder why Ubuntu chose to put the login forms at LightDM in the left instead of centering it. I find it totally ugly and a mental effort when I boot up and try to find the login with my eyes wandering from the center to the left.  Are there any reasons for designing it the way it is? (I could not find anything on the Ubuntu wiki.)   Would there be a super simple way to center everything?
I have a quite wide monitor and it's quite annoying to see the login dialog in the login screen on the far left side of my screen. I literally have to turn my head around to look at it!  Is there a way to center the login dialog?
Roth-IRA withdrawal penalty: 10% of what? Early non-exempt withdrawal from a Roth-IRA results in a "10% penalty". A 10% penalty on what amount: The amount withdrawn? The remaining balance of the Roth IRA? Both?   Insight appreciated For which positive integer values of $n$ does $a|mn-b?$ I am taking a number theory class, and I was not able to solve this homework problem.   Let $a,$ $b,$ and $m$ be constant positive integers. For which positive integer values of $n$ does $a|mn-b?$   I tried this out for a couple of values, and the values of $n$ satisfying this expression seem to occur in a cycle.  (For example, let $m=2019,$ $a=20,$ $b=19.$ The values of $n$ that work are $1,21,41,61,....$) However, I am not able to show that this always happens. mathpazo + siunitx: π turns into ß When I use mathpazo and siunitx (version 2.3h) together, if I use \pi inside the numerical argument to \SI, it will show up in the output as "ß".  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{mathpazo, siunitx} \begin{document}     $\pi + \SI{\pi}{\ohm}$ \end{document}   Produces:    But when I don't use mathpazo:    Why does this happen and how can I fix it? I have a sword that currently rotates around a pivot point thats off of the actual object.

Is there an intuitive reason the brachistochrone and the tautochrone are the same curve? The  asks what shape a hill should be so a ball slides down in the least time.  The  asks what shape yields an oscillation frequency that is independent of amplitude.  The answer to both problems is a cycloid.  Is there an intuitive reason why these problems have the same answer?  Proposed operational definition of "intuitive":  Imagine modifying the problem slightly, either to the  (tunnel through Earth), or by taking account of the finite radius of the ball.  If the answer to the original question is intuitive, we should easily be able  to tell whether these modified situations continue to have the same brachistochrone and tautochrone curves. I know that \: in LaTeX produces a space when rendered.  Are there any alternatives, because my LaTeX renderer doesn't support \: (it renders it as text), and there is no help / FAQ that I can find. Call java program from Node.js application What is bracketing? I have seen this term a lot and I was wondering what, in basic terms, what bracketing/autobracketing is.  Also, why would one want to 'bracket'?  P.S. - there are other questions asking what DoF and WB bracketing is but none asking quite the same as this. How did Newton discover the universal law of gravitation? I am having trouble comprehending how anyone could come up with this formula:  $$F = \frac{GMm}{d^2}.$$   Could someone walk me through this? Co-Buyer Automobile As a co-buyer on an automobile, can the other party take full possession? Both parties names are listed as the Purchaser's. Only one purchaser signed the retail order for the motor vehicle, and if so, how can one become a no co-buyer? So I understand the concept of gravity, in that it's not actually a force, but more of a displacement in the spacetime grid. An object with a big enough mass will bend the spacetime, causing smaller objects to "attract" to it (not really, but good enough for what I am trying to figure out)   Ok so that makes sense, but what I am not understanding is, how come planets don't just get engulfed by the Sun? There must be something acting against the gravity for the planet to be a certain distance away from the sun. Am I not understanding this concept correctly?

Why is it important to override GetHashCode when Equals method is overridden? Given the following class  public class Foo {     public int FooId { get; set; }     public string FooName { get; set; }      public override bool Equals(object obj)     {         Foo fooItem = obj as Foo;          if (fooItem == null)          {            return false;         }          return fooItem.FooId == this.FooId;     }      public override int GetHashCode()     {         // Which is preferred?          return base.GetHashCode();          //return this.FooId.GetHashCode();     } }   I have overridden the Equals method because Foo represent a row for the Foos table.  Which is the preferred method for overriding the GetHashCode?  Why is it important to override GetHashCode? How to import a module given its name as string? I'm writing a Python application that takes as a command as an argument, for example:  $ python myapp.py command1   I want the application to be extensible, that is, to be able to add new modules that implement new commands without having to change the main application source. The tree looks something like:  myapp/     __init__.py     commands/         __init__.py         command1.py         command2.py     foo.py     bar.py   So I want the application to find the available command modules at runtime and execute the appropriate one.  Python defines an __import__ function, which takes a string for a module name:     __import__(name, globals=None, locals=None, fromlist=(), level=0)      The function imports the module name, potentially using the given globals and locals to determine how to interpret the name in a package context. The fromlist gives the names of objects or submodules that should be imported from the module given by name.       Source:    So currently I have something like:  command = sys.argv[1] try:     command_module = __import__("myapp.commands.%s" % command, fromlist=["myapp.commands"]) except ImportError:     # Display error message  command_module.run()   This works just fine, I'm just wondering if there is possibly a more idiomatic way to accomplish what we are doing with this code.  Note that I specifically don't want to get in to using eggs or extension points. This is not an open-source project and I don't expect there to be "plugins". The point is to simplify the main application code and remove the need to modify it each time a new command module is added. How do you create product mock-ups? How to update to the latest numpy and scipy on Ubuntu 14.04LTS On my Ubuntu 14.04LTS, for python3, I have   &gt;&gt;&gt; import numpy  &gt;&gt;&gt; import scipy  &gt;&gt;&gt; numpy.__version__  '1.8.2'  &gt;&gt;&gt; scipy.__version__  '0.13.3'   I want to update numpy and scipy to the most , I tried with the following commands  sudo pip3 install --upgrade numpy sudo pip3 install --upgrade scipy   both commands ran successfully, but the version numbers didn't change to 1.9.2 and 0.16.0 at all for both python packages (after restarting the computer). Anyone knows how to update to the most version? Thank you very much!! Take a screenshot of a webpage with JavaScript? When should N-Gons be used, and when shouldn't they? I'm writing a thesis which is an aggregate of separate articles. I have the source code for the articles and I'm using \include to include them in the main document of the thesis. So in my main.tex (thesis document), I have  \include{article1} some pages in between the two articles \include{article2}   The problem that I'm getting is with the Appendix sections. In article 1, I have at the end:  \appendix \numberwithin{equation}{section} \section{Coefficients}\label{sec:Coeffic} \subsection{Good coefficients} then comes the first line of appendix   This gives in article 1 (when  compiled separately with the article class):     A. Coefficients      A.1. Good coefficients   and equation numbers in the Appendix A as (A.1), (A.2)  which is ok and what is expected.  When I put article 1 within main.tex, I use \include command. Also, I removed the document class for article 1 and put \chapter instead.  But when I compile main.tex (the thesis document), I get the appendix sections as:     .1 Coefficients      .1.1 Good coefficients   and the equation numbers in the appendix A as (.1.1), (.1.2) etc  My article 1 is treated as a chapter in the main thesis document (main.tex) and the title and section numbers, equation numbers are preceded by A in main.tex. This is what I want.  Maybe it would be ok to get the appendix in my main.tex as     A.A. Coefficients      A.A.1 Good coefficients   and the equation numbers in the Appendix as (A.A.1), (A.A.2) etc  to denote that it refers to appendix A of paper A. First A is for the first article and second A is for first appendix. How to get this?
