I am looking for the common stock price of Anadarko Corporation for January 8 and May 26, 1983. Can anyone help?
With services like Google Finance or Yahoo Finance it is very convenient to find the historical stock price metric of a listed company, but if the company is not listed, I can't find the data.  For example, I want to see the price metrics for Macromedia, which had been listed in 1993 on NASDAQ (MACR), then acquired by Adobe in 2005. How could I find its historical price metrics?
How to resize partitions? Previously, I have installed Windows 7 on my 320 GB laptop with three partitions 173, 84 and 63 GB each. The 63 GB partition was where the Windows was installed. The rest were for file containers.  Now I changed my OS to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I installed Ubuntu by replacing the entire Windows 7 on the 63 GB partition. The rest of the partitions remain as an NTFS Windows partition and I can still access them both (the 173 and 84 GB partitions).  Now I want to change the two partitions of Windows into an Ubuntu format partitions plus most importantly, I want to extend the 63 GB partition to more than a 100 GB because at the moment I am running out of disk space. Whenever I try to install any application, especially using wine, it always complains for a shortage of disk space.  How do I do the extending activity before I entirely format my laptop again and lose all the important files on my partitions? Combining values in one column (or part) when values in another column (or part) match Determining the characteristic of a field "You should be well-organised" or "You should be well organised"? What is the difference between a homepage link with or without a trailing slash? I got a new laptop; it came with an existing Windows installation, but I wanted to migrate my current backup to the new machine. I dd-ed the new machine's partitions to an external drive:  /dev/nvme0n1p1 /dev/nvme0n1p2 /dev/nvme0n1p3 /dev/nvme0n1p4   and afterwards move my current partitions to the new machine. What followed was a medium-sized nightmare. The new machine would boot, but the wireless network drivers were not recognized and later found out (to the best of my knowledge) they couldn't be installed. I tried:   booting from the console and running:  sfc /scannow chkdsk C: /f /r /x   both seemed to have completed successfully, but now the machine would get stuck in a startup repair loop. I tried resetting the machine (whilst keeping my files), but this failed halfway through. now the machine's still stuck in the loop and decided to try and repair it externally using a bootable Windows&nbsp;10 . It's likely that I'll need the new machine's Windows&nbsp;10 key. I'm not sure if it's stored in the BIOS (it came with Windows&nbsp;10  preinstalled) or somewhere on the partitions.   How can I get the key from the partitions (if it's there at all) while booting from a Linux image? Don't count non-printing characters, HTML comments or other content not displayed toward minimum character requirements Smooth option sometimes produces incorrect arrow tips in PGFplots It seems that the smooth option applied to lines sometimes effects the arrow tips and produces incorrect results.  No problem with vertical lines, but any other seems to have a problem. Is this a known bug, or is there a reason why the smooth should not be applied to straight lines?  Updated: to show problem does NOT occur with TikZ, and problem also occurs with curves if smooth option is applied.  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{pgfplots} \begin{document}  \tikzstyle{MyStyle}      =[-&gt;, black, ultra thick,       ] \tikzstyle{MyStyleSmooth}=[-&gt;, black, ultra thick, smooth]  \begin{tikzpicture} \begin{axis}     % 'smooth' option seems to have no effect on lines '1' and '2'     \addplot [MyStyle      , green ] coordinates{(0,0) (0,1)} node [above] {1};     \addplot [MyStyleSmooth, blue  ] coordinates{(1,0) (1,1)} node [below] {2};     %     % But, can't seem to have the 'smooth' on lines, '4', '5' and '6'     \addplot [MyStyle      , orange] coordinates{(2,0)   (3,0)   } node [right] {3};     \addplot [MyStyleSmooth, red   ] coordinates{(4,0)   (2,0.5) } node [below] {4};     \addplot [MyStyleSmooth, red   ] coordinates{(2,1)   (3,1)   } node [left ] {5};     \addplot [MyStyleSmooth, red   ] coordinates{(3,0.8) (2,0.8) } node [right] {6};      % Similar problem with curves: "non-smooth" is ok, "smooth" is not     \addplot[MyStyle,       mark=none, domain=0:1,samples=50, blue] (x,x*x+1);     \addplot[MyStyleSmooth, mark=none, domain=0:1,samples=50, red ] (x,x*x+2);  \end{axis} \end{tikzpicture}  \begin{tikzpicture} % These are all fine     \draw [MyStyle      , green ] (0,0)   -- (0,1)    node [above] {1};     \draw [MyStyleSmooth, blue  ] (1,0)   -- (1,1)    node [above] {2};     %     \draw [MyStyle      , orange] (2,0)   -- (3,0)    node [right] {3};     \draw [MyStyleSmooth, red   ] (4,0)   -- (2,0.5)  node [below] {4};     \draw [MyStyleSmooth, red   ] (2,1)   -- (3,1)    node [right] {5};     \draw [MyStyleSmooth, red   ] (3,0.8) -- (2,0.8)  node [left ] {6}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Salesforce query on profile not working on user language change I have a query on profile like  profilename = [Select name from profile where id=:userinfo.getUserprofileid ].name  Now I have a check in  VF page  like  profilename  == 'System Administrator' . this works fine if the logged in user language is english. If the user language is different then profile name will be  'System admin' in that language . So how to prevent this beahviour?   Also  is there any particular field in profile which I can use  to identify the profile is system admin? so that I can have check on that field instead of checking for name which is causing the problem, for example I think modifyall filed is only checked for system admin. Mark or don't mark required fields if all are required? If all fields in a form are required should they be marked somehow (eg. with an asterisk)?  I see this done a lot and find it redundant?  There could be a difference in big forms and small forms, but in big ones I would add a note at the top that all fields are required, but I wouldn't necessarily do that on small ones.  What do you think is the right approach? ViewPager as a circular queue / wrapping I was trying to prove this question.   Q. If G is a group of even order, prove that it has an element a, such that a$\neq$e satisfying $a^2$=e.   I tried solving it using Principle of mathematical induction.  So, Let O(G)=2m, where m$\in$ $N$.   We proceed by induction on m.   For m=1, O(G)=2, $\therefore$ G contains two elements.  G=$\{{e,a}\}$. Now, e has order 1. So, a can not have order 1. $\therefore$ a has order 2. So, it true for m=1.  Now, let it be true for m=k.  Then, we have a group G of order 2k, where $\exists$ an element a$\in$ G, whose order is 2.   We wish to prove it for m=k+1.   Then G has order 2k+2.   I don't know how to proceed further. In a script I'm trying to find the Terminal.app window containing a specific tty device and raise that window to the top. Here's what I have in Applescript so far:  tell application "System Events"   set foundWin to false   if (name of processes) contains "Terminal" then     tell application "Terminal"       set theTabs to first tab of every window where tty is "$(tty)"       repeat with theTab in theTabs         if class of theTab is tab then           set theWin to (first window whose tabs contains theTab)           set selected tab of theWin to theTab           set foundWin to true         end if       end repeat     end tell   end if   if foundWin then     --RAISE THE WINDOW?!   end if end tell   Where I'm getting stuck is the "raising the window" part.  Here are some things that are not quite what I want:  set frontmost of theWin to true -- this brings the window to the front of the group of Terminal.app windows but doesn't raise it above any other windows.  tell application "Terminal" to activate -- this brings every Terminal window to the front in a big stack. I just want the one window.  tell application "System Events"     set theSysWin to first window of process "Terminal" whose name is (name of theWin)     perform action "AXRaise" of theSysWin end tell   This almost does it, but what it does is to raise the terminal window to the #2 position, still underneath the active window (if the active app is something other than Terminal.app.)  click theSysWin at {10,50} -- doesn't seem to do anything.  click first static text of theSysWin -- doesn't seem to do anything.  Is there a way to do this? It doesn't have to be in Applescript.  EDIT I did find this web page (  ) quoting an Obj-C/Cocoa call:  SetFrontProcessWithOptions(&amp;psn, kSetFrontProcessFrontWindowOnly);  I'm not familiar with either ObjC or Cocoa, and this is (ultimately) getting invoked from a shell script, so not sure where to go from there.

How do I clean up my dconf database? Extreme learning machine: what's it all about? I've been thinking about, implementing and using the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) paradigm for more than a year now, and the longer I do, the more I doubt that it is really a good thing. My opinion, however, seems to be in contrast with scientific community where -- when using citations and new publications as a measure -- it seems to be a hot topic.  The ELM has been introduced by  around 2003. The underlying idea is rather simple: start with a 2-layer artificial neural network and randomly assign the coefficients in the first layer. This, one transforms the non-linear optimization problem which is usually handled via backpropagation into a simple linear regression problem. More detailed, for $\mathbf x \in \mathbb R^D$, the model is  $$ f(\mathbf x) = \sum_{i=1}^{N_\text{hidden}} w_i  \, \sigma\left(v_{i0} + \sum_{k=1}^{D} v_{ik} x_k \right)\,.$$  Now, only the $w_i$ are adjusted (in order to minimize squared-error-loss), whereas the $v_{ik}$'s are all chosen randomly. As a compensation for the loss in degrees-of-freedom, the usual suggestion is to use a rather large number of hidden nodes (i.e. free parameters $w_i$).  From another perspective (not the one usually promoted in the literature, which comes from the neural network side), the whole procedure is simply linear regression, but one where you choose your basis functions $\phi$ randomly, for example  $$ \phi_i(\mathbf x) = \sigma\left(v_{i0} + \sum_{k=1}^{D} v_{ik} x_k \right)\,.$$  (Many other choices beside the sigmoid are possible for the random functions. For instance, the same principle has also been applied using radial basis functions.)  From this viewpoint, the whole method becomes almost too simplistic, and this is also the point where I start to doubt that the method is really a good one (... whereas its scientific marketing certainly is). So, here are my questions:   The idea to raster the input space using random basis functions is, in my opinion, good for low dimensions. In high dimensions, I think it is just not possible to find a good choice using random selection with a reasonable number of basisfunctions. Therefore, does the ELM degrade in high-dimensions (due to the curse of dimensionality)? Do you know of experimental results supporting/contradicting this opinion? In the linked paper there is only one 27-dimensional regression data set (PYRIM) where the method performs similar to SVMs (whereas I would rather like to see a comparison to a backpropagation ANN) More generally, I would like to here your comments about the ELM method. How to uncover a table column wise in Latex beamer I have a table with 7 columns and want to show the first 5 at once, and then  the 6th and 7th on consecutive slides.

I'm trying to solve the following by natural deduction:  ~(P → Q) : P &amp; ~Q  It's a trivial problem if identities are used, as can be seen by the following:   {1}      1.   ~(P → Q)                    Prem. {1}      2.   ~(~P ∨ Q)                   1 Mat.
