Is there a simple method for calling shell command line arguments (like ls or pwd) from within python interpreter?
How do you call an external command (as if I'd typed it at the Unix shell or Windows command prompt) from within a Python script?
External program from our Java program How can I write a program in Java that will execute another program? Also, the input of that program should be given from our program and the output of that program should be written into a file.  This is my small set of code to get its output:  Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\j2sdk1.4.0\bin\\helloworld.java"); BufferedReader input =         new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream())); while ((line = input.readLine()) != null)    System.out.println(line);  input.close();   This was my set of code but this throws an IOException. Is there PvP in Diablo 3? How does it work? On-shell and off-shell transformations in Noether's theorem For any transformation of the fields,  $$\varphi\to\varphi'=\varphi+\delta\varphi$$ the change in the Lagrangian can be written as  $$\delta\mathcal L = \text{EoM} + \partial_\mu j^\mu\tag{1}$$where "EoM" represents the equations of motion (Euler-Lagrange equations) and all other terms can be written as a total derivative of some function $j^\mu$, which is a known function in terms of the Lagrangian.   I would like to distinguish the different realizations of transformations. Let's assume that the transformation (1) leaves the action invariant, $\delta S=0$.    $\delta\mathcal L=0$   EoM $=0$, "on-shell": Noether current is conserved, $\partial_\mu j^\mu=0$. EoM $=\partial_\mu b^\mu\neq0$, "off-shell": modified Noether current $J^\mu = j^\mu+b^\mu$ is conserved, $\partial_\mu J^\mu=0$.   $\delta\mathcal L =\partial_\mu a^\mu \neq 0$, "quasi-symmetry"   EoM $=0$, "on-shell": modified Noether current $J^\mu = j^\mu-a^\mu$ is conserved, $\partial_\mu J^\mu=0$.  EoM $=\partial_\mu b^\mu\neq0$, "off-shell": modified Noether current $J^\mu = j^\mu-a^\mu+b^\mu$ is conserved, $\partial_\mu J^\mu=0$.     Is this listing correct?      What roles do the terms "on/off-shell" and "(quasi) symmetry" play in Noether's theorem?   Related: , , , , .

For example on a card like  the text reads:     Nahiri's Wrath deals damage equal to the total converted mana cost of the discarded cards to each of up to X target creatures and/or planeswalkers.   For the remainder of this question, let's fix X at 2 to keep things simple.  Should the "and/or" be interpreted such that the effect is applied to a combination of targets the player chooses. That is to say for Nahiri's Wrath the player could perform one of the following options:   Nahiri's Wrath deals damage to each of two target creatures. Nahiri's Wrath deals damage to each of two target planeswalkers. Nahiri's Wrath deals damage to each of one target creature and one target planeswalker.   Or should the card's effect be expanded and applied to both sides of the "and/or". With this interpretation the player would have to the following two options when playing Nahiri's Wrath:   Nahiri's Wrath deals damage to each of X target creatures and Nahiri's Wrath deals damage to each of X target planeswalkers Nahiri's Wrath deals damage to each of X target creatures or Nahiri's Wrath deals damage to each of X target planeswalkers   The confusion stems from  (which was formerly formerly worded using the same phrasing) where some commenters have said things like:     So this lets you do a total of 12 damage? 3 each to 2 target creatures AND 3 each to 2 target players, one of which could be a planeswalker? That's how the "and/or" works, right? You can choose. Otherwise it would just be "or"...

How to select (highlight) text in Skype chat without using a mouse? Recently I started learning to use keyboard shortcuts almost for everything I'm doing on the laptop, but soon enough after I started, I bumped into the problem of being unable to highlight (select) simple text in Skype chats.  I did some research and I couldn't find any solution to my problem. Have I missed an already answered question that is the same like mine or if not what solution can you suggest in order to achieve the results I want without touching mouse or touchpad or any cursor moving device? Prove that: $(f(x))^{2} + (f'(x))^{2} \leqslant \max(a,b)$ where $(a,b) \in \mathbb{R}^2$ Let $f\in C^2(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})$.   Assume there exist  $(a,b) \in \mathbb{R}^2$ such that  $\forall x \in \mathbb{R}, (f(x))^{2} \leqslant a$ and $(f'(x))^{2} + (f''(x))^{2} \leqslant b$.   Prove that: $$(f(x))^{2} + (f'(x))^{2} \leqslant \max(a,b)$$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$.   I tried to use taylor lagrange with the integral form of the remainder but I did not succeed.

How do I install Ubuntu? I would like to see a full how-to guide on how to install Ubuntu. Are there any subtle differences between "somebody" and "someone", or can they be used completely interchangeably? Similarly, can you imagine a situation in which you would prefer "anybody" to "anyone" or vice versa? Quote unquote (or end-quote), unseparated by the actual quotation In spoken English, people often say "quote-unquote" (or "quote-endquote") to indicate that part of what they are saying is a quotation (scare or otherwise). Sometimes the quoted material will go between quote and unquote, and occasionaly it will precede the quote-unquote. Often, though, "quote unquote" introduces the quoted material.  Why does quote unquote precede the quotation?  It would seem that quote opens the quoted text and that unquote closes it, but then why would we close the quotation before actually providing it. It would be the equivalent of writing your quotation marks together, "", rather than around the quoted text.  What are the origins of this construction?  Three years ago ChrisR asked  on whether it is correct to use quote, unquote. The answers did not deal with origins, but one commenter suggested that quote-unquote is a corruption of quote-on-quote, but he provided no evidence, nor any real explanation. How can I prove that if $G$ is an Abelian group with elements $a$ and $b$ with orders $m$ and $n$, respectively, then $G$ contains an element whose order is the least common multiple of $m$ and $n$?  It's an exercise from Hungerford's book, but it's not homework. I could not solve it when I take the course on groups and I think it should be easy. There is a hint that says to first prove when $m$ and $n$ are coprimes. I did this part. But I have no idea how to solve the general case.  Thanks.
