I'm downloading Mavericks on my Lion, but I don't know how to see the progress. When I go to the purchases tab on the app store, I see a blank button:
I've been try to download Xcode for work, but for some reason the Mac App Store is giving me a bit of trouble. Activity monitor shows some network usage, but in Launchpad it seems the download isn't moving.   When I go to the purchases panel of the Mac App Store, I see this.     No status, no pause button, in fact - the button has no text on it! I've tried restarting the App Store, restarting my computer, even removing the com.apple.appstore folder in /var/folders but alas, no luck.  Can anyone diagnose the issue? When I removed com.apple.appstore, Xcode still showed up on Launchpad, and clicking on it did nothing - it was frozen in time. So can I kill off this partial download and start new?
Is it possible to create .stp 3D model from Graphics3D ？ Proving that the sequence $F_{n}(x)=\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n} \frac{\sin{kx}}{k}$ is boundedly convergent on $\mathbb{R}$ Here is an exercise, on analysis which i am stuck.    How do I prove that if $F_{n}(x)=\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n} \frac{\sin{kx}}{k}$, then the sequence $\{F_{n}(x)\}$ is boundedly convergent on $\mathbb{R}$? Best way to save data on the iPhone I am writing an iPhone application, and need to save the state of my application (5K or so).  My main worry is data persisting across upgrades. Some of the applications I use clearly got this wrong, and I would prefer not to! Names of close-voters are not visible in the post notice but in the revision history and timeline I am not a user with close/reopen votes privileges on Travel Stack Exchange, therefore I can't see the names of the close voters :    However, they are visible when going to the revision history:    or the timeline of the post:    This also happens when I am not logged in: I cannot see the banner (and so if the question has been closed), but from the revision history/timeline of the post I can get that information.  Shouldn't names of close-voters be completely hidden from people without close/reopen privileges (even if the revision history is a little hard to find)? subequations and array in braces I'm working on this problem already, the domain and co-domain are the set of Rational Numbers. we see that setting $x = 1$ and $y = n$, we obtain $f(n + 1) = f(n) + 1$  But I'm trying to prove that $f(n) = n + 1$ for all $n$, the case when $n = 1, 2$ is obviously true, how do I approach this via induction? Boliviana de Aviacion (BOA) tariff codes I am trying to book one-way tickets on BOA on Jan 13 2015 from La Paz (LBP) to Buenos Aires (EZE) from their website.  Their website asks me to make a choice between 7(!) different tariff codes - they are SSEEOB, QEEOB, TMEEOB, VEEOB, HEEOB, BEEOB, YOW. The prices are different for every tariff, but other than that I cannot see any obvious difference and there is no explanation available. Also I am unable to find anything useful on their website  Could anyone from Bolivia or familiar with BOA explain what is going on there and what choice am I supposed to make? Number of connected components of the complement of a compact Let $X$ be a connected, locally compact space and let $K$ be a compact subset of $X$. Is the number of connected components of the complement $X\setminus K$ finite? If it is not, are there some hypotheses over $X$ for finiteness of connected components? Let us say I have added a PPA that has X package that I want but it also has Y package that I do not want to use or receive updates from. How can I, from the same PPA, receive updates for a specific package but deny updates from the same PPA for other packages.  A step by step example would be good since this has happened to me in several PPAs that have a particular package I want but also add a whole bunch of others that I do not yet want to update.

Why rationalize the denominator? In grade school we learn to rationalize denominators of fractions when possible. We are taught that $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ is simpler than $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.  says that "there is a bias against roots in the denominator of a fraction". But such fractions are well-defined and I'm failing to see anything wrong with $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ - in fact, IMO it is simpler than $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ because 1 is simpler than 2 (or similarly, because the former can trivially be rewritten without a fraction).  So why does this bias against roots in the denominator exist and what is its justification? The only reason I can think of is that the bias is a relic of a time before the reals were understood well enough for mathematicians to be comfortable dividing by irrationals, but I have been unable to find a source to corroborate or contradict this guess. I am not a administrator and I would like to find the administrator password. I would not like to reset it however. Is there anyway to find and not reset the administrator password? What is a Seaman's book, and can it really replace a passport? What is a "Seaman's book", and can it really replace a passport for some or all immigration purposes?  Even Wikipedia the all-knowing does not seem to know, although it contains many tantalizing references.  :     Seaman deserters may not have a passport but rather hold a Seaman's Book, (a national identity document issued to professional seamen that contains a record of their rank and service career).   :     Possession of one of the following documents is sufficient to demonstrate [right to abode] ...         Hong Kong Seaman's Identity Book For aer.bst, citations with 3 or more authors are listed using et al. I need to modify the bibliography so that citations with 4 or more authors are listed using et al., but that citations with 3 authors have all the names written out. For example, I want "See Adams, Brown, and Clark (2003)" as opposed to "See Adams et al. (2003)." I'm using natbib with LaTex: \usepackage{natbib,har2nat}  In order to do that, I need to modify the function format.lab.names.abbr.  Might someone know how to do this?

But it is possible to create a scheduled task having an event type trigger. Surely there must be an event occurring when the drive -- or any USB device, for that matter -- is connected.    Does anybody have the slightest idea which Event ID should I use? Or at least what type of event? Where can I find the event in event viewer? Some questions about Hilbert matrix This Exercise $12$ page $27$ from Hoffman and Kunze's book Linear Algebra.     The result o Example $16$ suggests that perhaps the matrix      $$A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 &amp; \frac{1}{2} &amp; \ldots &amp; \frac{1}{n}\\  \frac{1}{2} &amp; \frac{1}{3} &amp; \ldots &amp; \frac{1}{n+1}\\ \vdots &amp; \vdots &amp;  &amp; \vdots \\ \frac{1}{n} &amp;\frac{1}{n+1} &amp;\ldots &amp;\frac{1}{2n-1} \end{bmatrix}$$      is invertible and $A^{-1}$ has integer entries. Can you prove that?   I will copy their words before that example:      Some people find it less awkward to carry along two sequences of   matrices, one describing the reduction of $A$ to the identity and the   other recording the effect of the same sequence of operations starting   from the identity.   In this , Adrián Barquero says:      If your linear algebra textbook is Kenneth Hoffmann and Ray Kunze's   Linear Algebra book then I was in the same situation you're right now   a few years ago, but I was adviced at the moment that this particular   exercise wasn't as easy as one might expect at first.      The matrix you have is called the Hilbert matrix and the question you   have was already asked a couple of times in math overflow  and   . They have excellent answers so I will just point you to them.   My question: Is it possible answer the question made by the authors without using high techniques?  I am not allowed to use determinants here.  PS: Those answers in MO don't answer the question above. I apologise if this question is unappropriated or if I was unable to understand their answers. C/C++/Assembly Programatically detect if hyper-threading is active on Windows, Mac and Linux I want to have a page-filling and -breaking longtable, so I decided to try xltabular. Unfortunately xltabular seems to screw up the booktabs rules in the normal tabular environments, see:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{booktabs, xltabular} \usepackage[active,tightpage]{preview} \PreviewEnvironment{tabular} \begin{document} \begin{tabular}{ccc}     \toprule     col1 &amp; col2 &amp; col3 \\     \midrule     row 2: &amp; more and moooooooooooore &amp; test \\     \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{document}     Not loading xltabular resolves the issue.  Did I miss some package option or some incompatibilities? Is there a better package than xltabular which doesn't break booktabs?  (I am using TeXLive 2019 and compile with lualatex)    EDIT (by Skillmon)  I reduced the bug to the following MWE (which doesn't make much sense on its own), it looks like booktabs tries to be smart detecting something, but fails badly.  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{longtable} \let\xltabular\relax \usepackage{booktabs}  \begin{document} \begin{tabular}{ccc}     \toprule     col1 &amp; col2 &amp; col3 \\     \midrule     row 2: &amp; more and moooooooooooore &amp; test \\     \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{document}   It seems to suffice that longtable is loaded and \xltabular is defined (even if it's just \relax). i have a huuuuge problem.  Created a snapshot and image from my instance...instance has 1000GB of disk.  Now i need to reduce it but everytime i try to create an image or a snapshot from that, i get the same error "Disk need to be at least 1000GB".  There is a way to reduce disk size directly on instance? Some workaround?
