I switched from Windows to Ubuntu. The sound level is very low in Ubuntu. Please help me to solve the problem.
I have two laptops: Dell xps M1210 and Dell vostro 1400. On MS windows the output volume is so loud that I just need to set volume to around 20% to listen music and watch videos. I use Bose TriPort In-Ear Headphones most of the times. On ubuntu, even if I set 100% volume on the multimedia player, on the desktop volume manager as well, and also on the ncurses GUI of alsa mixer, I get very low volume output. Sometimes while playing some vidoes the volume is so low that I barely hear any words. I have struggled for two years since I started to use ubuntu to solve this mystery. The same sound card which gives excellent sound on MS windows fails miserably on GNU/Linux. Few weeks back I bought an Asus 100PX EEE PC. To my surprise even it also has the same issue. I have tried many versions of ubuntu and also I have done manual compiles of alsa modules without any success. I have asked and read about it in every possible forums and howto's. Nothing has helped me to address the issue.

"Pupil" or "Student", what is the correct use? CSS selector for first element with class I unplugged my USB stick from Ubuntu 16.04 without the save remove option, but exfat should be fine doing so. No read write was happening, the partition does not use journaling. What I end up with is an unmountable USB stick with checksum error.   What tools are there to recover the partition table or at least the data on the USB stick? What I am doing now is scanning via parted. Has anyone experienced the same problem with exfat and recovery options? Unfortunately parted probably won't detect the partition because .  I also tried to use Partition Wizard on Windows but it failed to detect anything, just showing unallocated space. How do I proceed? are there helpful tools under Windows or Ubuntu?    I also tried to use gpart -v /dev/sdb but it failed to detect anything. On OS X there is a tool called fsck_exfat, is there any on Windows?  update The disk is preinstalled with Parted Magic. After quick search no partition shows up. Assume I have the following list:  foo = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']   What is the simplest way to retrieve an item at random from this list? Neural network references (textbooks, online courses) for beginners I want to learn Neural Networks.  I am a Computational Linguist. I know statistical machine learning approaches and can code in Python.   I am looking to start with its concepts, and know one or two popular models which may be useful from a Computational Linguistics perspective.  I browsed the web for reference and found a few books and materials.   Ripley, Brian D. (1996) Pattern Recognition and Neural Networks, Cambridge Bishop, C.M. (1995) Neural Networks for Pattern Recognition, Oxford: Oxford University Press. some links, like ,  (University of Toronto Psychology Department),  (University of Wisconsin Computer Science) and  (Facebook Research).   Coursera courses are generally nice, if anyone knows anything relevant from them. I prefer materials with lucid language and ample examples. How do I install the latest stable version of Firefox?

Good 1st PDE book for self study What is a good PDE book suitable for self study?   I'm looking for a book that doesn't require much prerequisite knowledge beyond undergraduate-level analysis.  My goal is to understand basic solutions techniques as well as some basic theory. Error while running Quickly Prove $\sup(f+g) \le \sup f + \sup g$ Suppose $D$ is a nonempty bounded subset of reals. Let $f:D \to \mathbb R$ and $g:D \to \mathbb R$. Define $(f+g)(x)=f(x)+g(x)$. Prove $\sup(f+g)(D) \le \sup f(D) + \sup g(D)$ (also prove that $\sup (f+g)$ exists).   I understand why this is the case, just not how to prove it. Left side is pretty much $\sup  (f(x)+g(x))$ and right side is $\sup (f(x) + g(y))$ for $x,\,y \in D$. Basically $f+g$ has to use the same variable and $f(D)+g(D)$ use different ones. But I don't know how to go about proving this.     The second part of the question is to find a specific example where strict inequality holds.    Let $D=\{a,b\}$ and $f: a \to 1,\, b\to 0, \,g: a \to 0,\, b\to 1$. $\sup f(D) = 1,\, \sup g(D) = 1,\, \sup f(D) + \sup g(D) = 2.$ $\sup (f+g)(D) = 1$ (if we choose a, $f+g = 1+0,\, b,\, f+g=0+1$). Extract float/double value How do I extract a double value from a string using regex.  import re  pattr = re.compile(???)     x = pattr.match("4.5") In every keyboard that I have used, the keys are arranged so that the keys are staggered a small increment to the left from the previous row. Q is above and slightly to the left of A, and A is above and slightly to the left of Z. This pattern continues across the entire board. Case in point:    What is the motivation behind this design? I would think that a column layout would be easier to type on - and indeed, many ergonomic keyboards seem to go with a column layout, where Q is directly above A and so on. My employer didn't send me W-2 for December 2015. In fact, he told me that I wasn't on payroll for the two months(Dec/Jan) I worked for them so I am not sure whether he will be able to generate W-2 for me or not. I am wondering should I call IRS and inform them about the same, and probably they will call the employer? Or should I report my December 2015 earnings as Miscellaneous and report to IRS while filing taxes? Or what other options do I have? I am a non resident alien on F-1 Visa. My employer also has not paid me full salary as promised, which I am discussing with him.  Also, I got paid by check in January month for my December payment, so I am wondering does this apply for 2015 tax filing as I got paid in January 2016?
