My bank's website insists that I use Internet explorer &gt; v7. I have however disabled internet explorer from windows features and use Firefox instead.  How do I get firefox to identify itself as IE for that particular site? I'm running windows 7 with firefox 13 right now.
I have to use a particular web site for work, but this web site checks to see whether I'm using Internet Explorer and, if not, won't allow me to log in.  I can switch my User-Agent header using the  Firefox plugin and the web site works fine, but I really don't want to switch the header every time I go to the site and also don't want my User-Agent header to perpetually say I'm using IE.  I'm on Linux, so actually switching to IE unfortunately isn't an option.  Is there any way to define a particular User-Agent for a particular web site in either Firefox or Chrome?
I'm trying to search and replace a string in all files matched by grep: grep -n 'foo' * will give me output in the form: [filename]:[line number]:[text]  For each file returned by grep, I'd like to modify the file by replacing foo with bar. How do I reset my Unity configuration? I've been messing around with Unity and broke something, how do I "start over"? How to get full query text from performance_schema.threads? According to : Access to the threads table does not require a mutex  and has minimal impact on server  performance. The other sources have negative performance consequences because they require a mutex.   So yes, I want to use threads table to examine running queries. The trouble is, the PROCESSLIST_INFO column does not contain the full query. It just contains a truncated version of the query. There is a flag viz performance_schema_max_sql_text_length which controls how many bytes are allocated for the SQL query. But it seems to affect the events_statements_history_long table. There is no change in the thread table output. There is also the events_statement_current table. But it is not clear if accessing that table affects performance or not.

It is commonly stated that there are four fundamental forces, or interactions, in nature. It is natural to consider which of those is responsible for the normal force we meet in elementary physics. What is the nature of the force exerted on a body by the floor on which it rests?  Of the four forces, the only one that seems relevant is the electromagnetic force, and I always assumed the repelling force in question is ultimately the EM one. The Wikipedia article on  seems to agree:     Molecular and quantum physics show that the electromagnetic force is the fundamental interaction responsible for contact forces.    An alternative explanation is that the force results from Pauli's Exclusion Principle; however, reasonable as it may seem, it doesn't seem to answer the question of what force is actually at play here. The exclusion principle isn't a force, or at least it's not normally described as such.  I've recently come across a rather forcefully presented argument that states that the normal force is a macroscopic force that is not directly reducible to the EM force, or to any of the other forces; rather, it does indeed result from Pauli's Exclusion Principle by way of interaction of electron wave functions. The argument further claims that attempts to correct the Wikipedia article have met with the usual "source needed" objections, and that this topic is either misunderstood by or poorly covered in the standard texts.  (The argument can be found ).   Which way is it? "Thus" vs. "Thusly" I read an article that used "thusly" and was wondering if there is any grammatical credence to it.   The :     The issue started when Sokolowski quickly ran out of storage capacity in his 32GB Surface after adding media files. After poking around, he realized that while the device has a 32GB drive, only 16GB of that capacity is available for users’ data. Thusly Microsoft is being sued for false advertisement, with the suit seeking class action status.   Is thusly an outmoded form of thus, or does it have a different meaning altogether? How can I use Bengali script in an English document? I know that python has a len() function that is used to determine the size of a string, but I was wondering why it's not a method of the string object.  Update  Ok, I realized I was embarrassingly mistaken. __len__() is actually a method of a string object. It just seems weird to see object oriented code in Python using the len function on string objects. Furthermore, it's also weird to see __len__ as the name instead of just len. Let's say that there exists some "true" relationship between $y$ and $x$ such that $y = ax + b + \epsilon$, where $a$ and $b$ are constants and $\epsilon$ is i.i.d normal noise. When I randomly generate data from that R code: x &lt;- 1:100; y &lt;- ax + b + rnorm(length(x)) and then fit a model like y ~ x, I obviously get reasonably good estimates for $a$ and $b$.  If I switch the role of the variables as in (x ~ y), however, and then rewrite the result for $y$ to be a function of $x$, the resulting slope is always steeper (either more negative or more positive) than that estimated by the y ~ x regression. I'm trying to understand exactly why that is and would appreciate it if anyone could give me an intuition as to what's going on there. How can I convert a string to boolean in JavaScript? Can I convert a string representing a boolean value (e.g., 'true', 'false') into a intrinsic type in JavaScript?  I have a hidden form in HTML that is updated based upon a user's selection within a list. This form contains some fields which represent boolean values and are dynamically populated with an intrinsic boolean value. However, once this value is placed into the hidden input field it becomes a string.  The only way I could find to determine the field's boolean value, once it was converted into a string, was to depend upon the literal value of its string representation.  var myValue = document.myForm.IS_TRUE.value; var isTrueSet = myValue == 'true';   Is there a better way to accomplish this? I have a list of requirements for a program, but I don't know what program meets these criteria. That's about general-purpose software, for example, not a programming IDE or statistical workbench, questions about which would certainly go to respective sites.  Is this question appropriate on Stack Overflow? Where should I ask about it? On Super User or elsewhere? Can you use a readied action to teleport out of the way of a weapon attack? Let's say that a player uses the ready action and says "If a character aims at me with a weapon, I'll use Teleport to move behind cover."  What happens? Does this work? If not, please cite the rules to explain why not. How can one differentiate between Dr. (PhD) and Dr. (MD or DO)? 401k withdrawal abroad and state taxation? From what I know about 401k's, when it's time to retire, we take our 401k money and pay federal and state tax. Some states don't have taxes on 401k's — Florida is a good example. So many people move to Florida for a retirement, not to pay taxes (that's why people call it heaven's waiting room). The question is - how does it work if a US citizen permanently moves to another country for a retirement (retaining citizenship, but not living in any of the US states)? Are there any state taxes? If yes, then why? For you that have tested this, should we use Ubuntu and install different Desktop Environments (KDE/XFCE...) or we should install different distributions (Kubuntu/Xubuntu...). Are there any notable issues in performance / CPU consumption?  PS:  I know how to install them (already did), I wanted to know if anyone has any problems regarding the performance and what is better to install the desktop or to use the ditribution Ignored and watched tags seem broken For the longest time my ignored tags have been working but today they are not. They work on the home page but not the /questions page. However, if you choose the &quot;Gray out questions&quot; option then that fails. Arqade is the only site I've ever had a long-standing ignore list so I don't think I can blame cache. The same behavior seems to be exhibited on Stack Overflow but I added those ignore tags just moment ago so cache could be an issue. If it matters, I am using Chrome x64 v91.0.4472.77 on Windows 10 Via comments, this issue has been confirmed for Watched Tags as well. Ubuntu 18.10 gnome extensions stop working after hibernation After upgrading to 18.10 I am experiencing very strange behaviour of gnome extensions. After my laptop goes into hibernation they all switch off and enabling them back on  doesn't help: nothing changes and when I refresh the page they are disabled again.   The only way to turn them back on is to reinstall them.
