Disable auto-opening nautilus window after auto-mount Every time I plug a USB stick in, nautilus opens a new window with the contents of the drive. I would like to disable this auto-opening of the nautilus window, but I would like the actual auto-mount to keep working. Is this possible? Difficulty in creating macro '\newcommand' for the beginning and end of frames in Beamer A commercial airport being any airport that has regular scheduled passenger flights.  The mathematics of  got me thinking: is the network of scheduled flights a connected graph?  That is, is there a pair (or triplet or even larger set) of airports such that they only have scheduled flights with each other?  Or can you get from any airport to any other?  Ignore vagaries like cargo and general aviation. I'm looking for two airports that I can shuttle between, but would have to drive (or sail) to get to one or the other of them. Why can't Python's raw string literals end with a single backslash? Proving two entire functions are constant. Let $f$ and $g$ be entire functions such that $f^n+g^n=1$, where $n\geq 3$ is an integer. Prove that $f$ and $g$ are constant.  I suppose I should somehow prove that either $f$ or $g$ is bounded so that I can apply Liouville's Theorem, but I don't see how. I tried setting the derivative of the left hand side equal to zero and work with that but that did not seem to work. Privilege Notifications Integral representation of Euler's constant Prove that : $$ \gamma=-\int_0^{1}\ln \ln \left ( \frac{1}{x} \right) \ \mathrm{d}x.$$  where $\gamma$ is Euler's constant ($\gamma \approx 0.57721$).    This integral was mentioned in  as in  , but the solutions I've got uses corollaries from . Can you give me a simple solution (not using much advanced theorems) or at least some hints. What does a confidence interval with a negative endpoint mean? How to undelete a directory that was just deleted with "rm -R" command (in cloud drive)? I deleted an important directory with rm -R command. This is an very populer host data. It was located /var/zpanel/hostdata/ayrintilih After remove ayrintilih directory has gone everything.  I tried to undelete with ext4magic program. But it need to another hdd volume for recovery.  Error message:   ERROR: can not use "/root/recoveried" for recover directory. It's the same filesystem : "/dev/dm-0"   My ISP just replied my request:  Unfortunately there is no way to add another Volume to a virtual Instance.  If it would be a dedicated Server, we could do it, but not in a Cloudserver.  You could try to minimize the partition and create another one, that would  count as another Volume. We also recommend to have allways a  Backup for your Important files. What is the optimal distance function for individuals when attributes are nominal? I do not know which distance function between individuals to use in case of nominal (unordered categorical) attributes. I was reading some textbook and they suggest Simple Matching function but some books suggest that I should change the nominal to binary attributes and use Jaccard Coefficient. However, what if the values of the nominal attribute is not 2? what if there are three or four values in that attribute?  Which distance function should I use for nominal attributes? How do i create a linestring from points sort by date in PostgreSQL?  I tried:  SELECT observations.id,    ST_MakeLine(observations.geom ORDER BY observations.date) AS newgeom    FROM   observations     GROUP BY    observations.id;   This is going wrong. It returns me a linestring with same coordinates.  So, instead of a line from a to b, it gives me a to a.    What am I doing wrong? How to avoid the wrinkle at the poles of the UV sphere? When I create a UV sphere and add the subdivision surface modifier, the following wrinkle appears.    How can I avoid it?  I've read the article  but there seems to be no clear solution.  UPDATE 1  I've used the word 'apply' in the first sentence of the initial version of this question. It's misleading since I want to preserve the modifier without 'applying' it. Rather, what I meant is 'adding' the modifier.  UPDATE 2  I followed josh sanfelici's solution, but still there is an artifact at the pole.  Here is the screen: (A rendered view with a sun lamp)    Maybe it's the limitation of the general-purpose subdivision modifier.  BTW, when the cast modifier is added after the subdivision modifier, the sphere becomes perfect (even for my original wrinkled sphere).  But since I want to edit the resulting sphere (for example, scaling X, Y, etc) while modifier is added but not applied, it's not usable. I'm trying to find the name of a book I had as a kid back in the 80's/90's that was a collection of science fiction short stories and in particular one story in it.  The book: I remember the cover being mostly orange with the face of an alien taking up most of the cover. Scaly looking 'grey' style alien with hooded green eyes. They may have also been a 60's/70's style space ship in the background with a man and woman.  The story: Was set after all human life had ended in a great war and the story followed one of the many autonomous bombers still flying the skies carrying out their missions repeatedly bombing already leveled cities. At least that's how I remember it.  Any help/clues you can give would be much appreciated as I'd love to share these stories with my kid.  Some other stories it had, if any of these can be identified it might help me find the book:   Two guys talking in a room and one give the other a wooden carving of an apple and starts telling him the history of the object and how it's used to hypnotise people who hold it as they can't resist stroking it and it puts them in a catatonic state. A bunch of robots/machines wandering the post-apocalyptic country side, free of their duties to mankind. Their adventure comes to an end when they run into a hermit living in the country and their programming kicks in and they immediately become his servants. A story about first contact with an alien race, the aliens come to earth and land at the coordinates of an air-force base but upon arrival there is confusion as the humans cannot see the aliens and the aliens cannot see the humans. The aliens complain that they've been tricked and that their ship is sinking. The humans think this is strange until they realise the aliens are incredibly small and have landed in a puddle on the airfield. Java: Why does if statement never resolve to true?

How can we find the general formula about the convergence of the serie $\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(n!)^d}{(dn)!}$ for all $d\geq2$ ?  I tried using the d'Alembert Criteria but it doesn't simplify itself enough to prove the convergence. $V$ be a vector space , $T:V \to V$ be a linear operator , then is $\ker (T) \cap R(T) \cong R(T)/R(T^2) $? Let $V$ be a vector space , $T:V \to V$ be a linear operator , then is it true that   $\ker (T) \cap R(T) \cong R(T)/R(T^2) $ ( where $R(T)$ denotes the range of $T$ ) ?    I know that the statement is true when $V$ is finite dimensional as I can show that if $V$ is finite   dimensional , then $\dim (\ker (T) \cap R(T))=rank (T) - rank (T^2)=\dim R(T)/R(T^2)$ ,   but I don't know what happens in general . Please help . Thanks in advance
