Is there any easier/different way to downgrade from 14.10 to 14.04 other than USB? I know it's a developmental branch which may make things different, but they want 14.04 now (LTS). A lot of data is riding on this machine which is part of a server cluster.  Any one have any luck using this?:

How to download/read only the first 80KB of a file? keep duplicates out of $PATH on source I have the following code that's source-d by my .shellrc  PATH="${PATH}:${HOME}/perl5/bin" PATH="${PATH}:${HOME}/.bin" export PATH   but if I make changes to other code and then source this file, my path continues to get longer and longer with each source, each time appending these when they're already there. What can I do to prevent this? Copy files and directory tree for filesize in specified range I would like to make a small script copying files from different directories example /pp/01 /pp/02/ etc... to another destination with the same directory design. But only those files within the directory with a size larger than 88MB but smaller than 93MB...   I would use a for loop and the find function. Are there more efficient ways? And how can I implement the find function exactly. How to find out what's accessing a particular hard drive on Windows? Is the cofinite topology on an uncountable set first countable? Let $X$ be any uncountable set with the cofinite topology. Is this space first countable?  I don't think so because it seems that there must be an uncountable number of neighborhoods for each $ x \in X$. But I am not sure if this is true. extracting energy from cosmological expansion This question is a more concrete reincarnation of an .  Are there mechanisms to extract energy from the cosmic rate of expansion? putting some extremely long ropes across the universe and extract work from their increase of separation?  assuming this is possible ( i don't see why it would not ), what form would take the back-reaction force? in all physics, every time you extract work from some system by some force, this system will exert a force back. Can we slow down cosmic expansion by variations of these mechanisms? Book: World covered in trees that are miles high Possible Duplicate:          I received two answers to a question I asked.

How does Lockable Suspension work? I recently asked a question about . There  told me about the “blow off” feature. Now, I am curious about how the whole system works.   So, can anyone tell me about how a lockable front suspension works, together with features like “remote-lock” and “blow-off”. How do I show that:  $$\frac{1}{\sin^{2}\frac{\pi}{14}} + \frac{1}{\sin^{2}\frac{3\pi}{14}} + \frac{1}{\sin^{2}\frac{5\pi}{14}} = 24$$  This is actually problem B $4371$ given at this . Looks like a very interesting problem.   My attempts: Well, I have been thinking about this for the whole day, and I have got some insights. I don't believe my insights will lead me to a $\text{complete}$ solution.   First, I wrote $\sin\frac{5\pi}{14}$ as $\sin\frac{9 \pi}{14}$ so that if I put $A = \frac{\pi}{14}$ so that the given equation becomes, $$\frac{1}{\sin^{2}{A}} + \frac{1}{\sin^{2}{3A}} + \frac{1}{\sin^{2}{9A}} =24$$ Then I tried working with this by taking $\text{lcm}$ and multiplying and doing something, which appeared futile. Next, I actually didn't work it out, but I think we have to look for a equation which has roots as $\sin$ and then use $\text{sum of roots}$ formulas to get $24$. I think I haven't explained this clearly.         $\text{Thirdly, is there a trick proving such type of identities using Gauss sums ?}$ One post related to this is:  I don't know how this will help as I haven't studied anything yet regarding Gauss sums.

It is really difficult for me to decide on this situation: when someone calls me and asks for work-for-hire for his/her thesis. I don't know what to do. I want to help and earn money but I think this way of earning money is unethical.  I think that receiving the title of thesis and giving back prepared manuscript is the intention that some people have, when asking for their thesis to be written.  There are plenty of websites offering such services!   The question is that: Is it legal and or ethical to write someone else's master's thesis as work-for-hire? Question about how to interpret arbitrary elements I have a question about how to interpret arbitrary elements. When we say:  &quot;let $x$ be an arbitrary integer&quot;  &quot;let $x$ be any integer&quot;  &quot;let $x$ be an integer&quot;   at the beginning of proofs, are we saying:  &quot;let the symbol $x$ represent one of the integers, although it is not clear which specific integer the symbol $x$ represents&quot;.  If not, please let me know how I should think about the above statements. Thank you for your time.  Edit: I had a follow up question to the one I asked earlier. What do mathematicians mean by “arbitrary element” or “any element”. I can understand when mathematicians say “let $x$ be $4$” as this means “the symbol $x$ represents $4$”. Could someone please elaborate on why the specific terms “arbitrary” and “any” are used?
