I use Ubuntu on desktops and laptops and am making a custom script to set things up for my school. I just discovered  to improve power comsumption for the laptops and want to include it in my script. Most of what I hear is great.  and  seem to recommend it. Yet, it is not included with any version or derivative of Ubuntu that I know of. , but Ubuntu requires adding a third party PPA. So, this leads me to believe that is has enough issues or is too new to include by default or even in the default repositories.    Am I asking for trouble by installing it on desktop hardware, or will it just stay in the AC mode and have no effect? Will I likely see any kernel freezing or instability with Ubuntu 12.04 and TLP? Has anyone had any cause to remove TLP?
All the info about TLP on the surface looks more like advertisement and marketing to me, I can't see any detailed comparison to default configurations. What are the precise differences compared to default (K/L)Ubuntu installs under the hood, are they really effective?  Update: And if they really are, why aren't they a part of a default config?

Seeking point cloud (LiDAR) data? Is there any freely available pointcloud data?   I'm especially interested in dense clouds of small areas(5m to 100m radius) but anything else would be fine too.

Thank you very much for any help! I have the following code:  \documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article} \usepackage[margin=2cm]{geometry} %showframe \begin{document} \tableofcontents \newpage \section*{Abstract} \section{Introduction} \newpage \bibliographystyle{apacite} \bibliography{references} \end{document}   And when I create the table of contents it adds the "References" in the TOC, how can I remove this to not be included in TOC?

Why is that? I started to read about Diffie-Hellman exchange and I encountered a problem which I don't know how to solve.  Given $g=3$, $p=131$, $g^x\bmod p=112$, $g^y\bmod p=74$, compute $g^{xy}\bmod p$   $113$ $110$ $112$ $111$   How could I compute $g^{xy} \bmod p$? Or at least verify which one is correct. Any idea? Creating a link using an 18 character ID I have an 18 character SFDC ID. I was under the impression that I should be able to create a link to that record using the following pattern: https://&lt;org server&gt;.salesforce.com/&lt;id&gt;  For example: https://na12.salesforce.com/00TU000000Nf5NP  That link works fine for me. However, when I try to link to the same object using the 18 character, case insensitive ID (ex. https://na12.salesforce.com/00tu000000nf5npmaz), I get the following error:     Insufficient Privileges      You do not have the level of access necessary to perform the operation   you requested. Please contact the owner of the record or your   administrator if access is necessary.   What exactly is the problem? If all I have is the 18 character ID, how can I create a link back to the correct SalesForce record? My professor has stated the following lemma:  Let $U$ and $V$ be two vector spaces and $B$ a basis for $U$. If $f:B\rightarrow V$ is a map, then there exists a unique linear map $A: U \rightarrow V$ such that $A(x)=f(x)\ \forall\ x\in B$  How can I prove this lemma? (This is not a homework problem.) Facing an error "*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (fast)" Do I require airport transit visa at Frankfurt? Do conjugate priors just lead to a posterior that is a modification of the parameters of the prior? We know, for example, that the conjugate relationship between the classic beta-binomial is as follows:  \begin{align}  y &amp;∼ \mathcal{Bin}(n,\ θ)  \\  θ &amp;∼ \mathcal{Beta}(α,\ β)  \\ θ|y &amp;∼ \mathcal{Beta}(y + α,\  n − y + β) \end{align}  Notice how the posterior is just a change in parameterization compared to the prior. Is the posterior of conjugate priors just a change in parameters? On some pages of my document LaTeX introduces a lot of spacing between my headline/paragraphs (around 5 times more than usual).  What is the reason for this and how can I avoid it? It seems it is trying to fill the page until the next chapter starts. Java. Splitting a multiple word string into two word strings every space how does LEA and several instruction work? The value of $\lim_{n \to \infty}\int_{0}^{1}nx^ne^{x^2}dx$ is _____ I tried by taking the odd $n$ values as in that case, the integral I suppose was easier to calculate. So, denote $I_n=n\int_{0}^{1}e^{x^2}x^ndx$, then we have : $I_1=\frac{e-1}{2},\\I_3=\frac{3}{2},\\I_5=5(\frac{e}{2}-1),\\I_7=7(3-e)$ Then I tried calculating (random) values using calculator as integration was getting cumbersome. $I_{31}=2.488$, $I_{51}=2.57$. I do not see any kind of recurrence so that I can find a general term for odd $n$. I also tried the method given . The idea was that since integral doesn't depend on $n$ considering $I(n)=\int_{0}^{1}e^{x^2}x^ndx$, then $I'(n)=\int_{0}^{1}x^n\ln(x)e^{x^2}dx$, but this also doesn't lead me to any conclusion as well. I believe I couldn't get to a proper approach to tackle this question. Can someone please help with the idea that involves in solving these type of questions?
