This seems like a silly question but when I try to download the 64-bit lubuntu from the main website but I can only get the AMD version. When I tried to install, it did not get recognized by my machine. My machine has the following processor:  Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4590S CPU @ 3.00GHz  I would think the amd64 version would not run on an Intel machine as they are different architectures. But as I am perusing through their downloads page  I find the AMD 64-bit version is the only 64-bit available. I successfully installed the i386 version. Anyways, don't want to go to the trouble of downloading and trying again since I've already progressed with the i386 version for some time now so hopefully asking here will save some grief and gain some knowledge. What am I missing?
My processor is an Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 (2.40GHz). As far as I know that's a 64-bit processor - I'm a bit confused as the architecture is called AMD 64, is this a generic name given to 64-bit architectures? I've heard of x64 but can't see a release labelled with this.
Can I connect to SQL Server using Windows Authentication from Java EE webapp? I am currently investigating how to make a connection to a SQL Server database from my Java EE web application using Windows Authentication instead of SQL Server authentication. I am running this app off of Tomcat 6.0, and am utilizing the Microsoft JDBC driver. My connection properties file looks as follows:  dbDriver              = com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver dbUser                = user dbPass                = password dbServer              = localhost:1433;databaseName=testDb dbUrl                 = jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433   I have zero problems with connecting to a SQL Server database in this fashion when using SQL Server authentication.  Is there any way I can retrieve the credentials of the user's Windows Authentication and use that authentication for SQL Server?  UPDATE: I know in ASP.net there is a way to set up Windows Authentication for access to the webapp, which is exactly what I am looking for, except I want to pass that token off to SQL Server for access to the database. is that function must be constant under the following conditions I'm talking about complex function   $f$ is analytic function on a region $D$ that include the point $z=0$. for every $n\in N$ such $\frac{1}{n}$ is in $D$ , the function follows this condition $|f(\frac{1}{n})| \leq \dfrac{1}{2^n}$   is that function must be constant ?

Count the items from a IEnumerable without iterating? private IEnumerable&lt;string&gt; Tables {     get     {         yield return "Foo";         yield return "Bar";     } }   Let's say I want iterate on those and write something like processing #n of #m.   Is there a way I can find out the value of m without iterating before my main iteration?  I hope I made myself clear. There are many cases in maths where doing the same thing over and over again will bring you closer to a value. Derivation of polynomials is the striking example: no matter what you start with, you end up with 0. In a series expansion, the longer you continue the sequence the closer you get to the real value.  This concept applies in areas other than math (Wikipedia's everything-leads-to-philosophy phenomenon, for example). It's a little unrelated but it just proves the concept.  Hashing algorithms are just special math. Following logically, hash entropy supposedly decreases the more you hash a value. So is there a point at which any input value will give the same hash as any other?  (Let me just specify that we're not re-injecting any new data every time we hash, as if we're trying to increase the security of the hash by salting and re-hashing. It's strictly a matter of md5(md5(md5(... if that's the algorithm we're using.  I can see some problems with this already. Algorithms like md5 are designed to change their output radically when the input changes only by one bit of information. So even if a common hash for two values appears along the way, it itself will start changing. But then, does the fact that the output appears to be very different actually mean the possibilities are still many? How to fix slow wireless on machines with Intel wireless cards?

I switched to Ubuntu 11.10 from Windows 7 3 days ago so I'm new to the operating system. Modernist Cuisine recommends that for longer sous vide cooking (times greater than 36 hours) that bags are vacuum sealed rather than just using the water displacement method to remove the air from a ziploc bag.  What is the reason for this? Will I be losing something essential if I just use a regular ziploc bag without vacuum sealing? Someone wants to send me cash by DHL. How's this scam supposed to work? This raises a bunch of red flags (also confirmed by googling the email address it came from), but I don't quite understand how this scam is actually supposed to work. So, here it goes:   I put up an ad (for a guitar, 90€) on LeBonCoin (the French equivalent of Craigslist). Someone contacts me by text message (anonymous with no actual phone number), saying they want to continue by email. I then get an email, with roughly the following content (rough translation):     OK, I will buy it, but I need to send you cash by "express DHL letter". The DHL driver will pick up the item when he gives you the cash. I need the following information: full name, postal address, price of the item, and your phone number.    I'm guessing that this works by them requesting some "delivery fee" in advance, but does anyone know how this actually works? "(" or "\left(" parentheses?

(Grid view) I noticed that  has been changed, and by default sites are shown by balloons.  What is not clear to me is why some sites are shown with a bigger balloon than other sites. For example, WordPress Answers has less questions, answers and users than Programmers, but its balloon is bigger. What are the criteria used to show the sites on that page? Some class features, monster traits, and feats allow you to take a −5 to your attack roll in order to gain a +10 to your damage roll. At first glance this looks really good, but when will it deal more damage than not using it on average?  For instance if you have a total attack bonus of +8 and you deal 1d12 damage. You have to roll a 7 to hit an AC of 15. If you take the −5 that makes it where you have to roll a 12. That's going to reduce your average damage by a lot. Stop Edit/Rollback Wars: Limit Number Of Edits/Rollbacks Per User Per Post Per Day I came up with an idea for how to begin putting an end to the edit/rollback wars and then the ensuing comments battle...   What if you are only allowed to edit a post (not the author) once a day. What if you are also only allowed to rollback one edit to your post a day. There would not be a overall limit on the users ability to edit other posts other than the one edit per post per day. There would also not be a limit on the number of times a single post could be edited or rolledback (multiple users), but each edit/rollback would trigger the 24 hour wait... There is currently some threshold in place that allows a post to be edited after it is posted without calling it an edit.  This same threshold could apply to the edit in case a mistake is made (fat fingered, mis-tagged, etc.) which would allow the editor a window of time to correct a mistake before getting locked out.     If either the editor or rollerbacker feel that the current state of the post is not acceptable and they are out of mods for the day, then a moderator can get flagged through the current process. How to preserve non-ASCII characters in ogr2ogr import? I would like to cook frozen chicken breasts in a pressure cooker for shredding and making chicken mole.  I do not want to add anything except water, but I'm having a hard time finding specific guidelines on the time to cook frozen meats with no added ingredients or steps.   In my case, I have 3 pounds of frozen chicken breasts to cook.  What are the general rules to follow for frozen meats and, in my case, how long and at what heat should I cook this for? How can I do this fast?  Sure I can do this:  static bool ByteArrayCompare(byte[] a1, byte[] a2) {     if (a1.Length != a2.Length)         return false;      for (int i=0; i&lt;a1.Length; i++)         if (a1[i]!=a2[i])             return false;      return true; }   But I'm looking for either a  function or some highly optimized proven way to do this.  java.util.Arrays.equals((sbyte[])(Array)a1, (sbyte[])(Array)a2);   works nicely, but it doesn't look like that would work for x64.
