Why would a cuboid with seams as shown unwrap as a cube? I eventually found one tutorial example of a cuboid rather than a cube being unwrapped. Its result as illustrated in the article was as expected but in 20 attempts I could only reproduce it once. All the other attempts with different seams, different unwraps, renders etc produced a cube's unwrap.
I'm having problems using the UV mapping in blender 2.67. Specifically, I am trying to unwrap a really simple mesh, but the UV map is still giving me a net where some of the boxes are completely out of proportion to the others, which causes the texture to stretch horribly. Here is a picture to illustrate:    The mesh only has those three faces you can see in the picture, and the single seam on the front corner. It's a trivially simple mesh, so I really don't understand why the two side faces are being stretched in the UV map to be the same size as the top face. I've tried clicking the average islands scale button as suggested by some of the answers to other questions but that has no effect. It's frustrating because it seems so simple.  Hopefully someone can show me the presumably simple mistake I am making!  Edit: Just to make this clearer, I have already added a seam as the first answer suggests i do. Hopefully this picture will make that clearer, the yellow arrow is pointing to the edge i seamed. The mesh is only three faces so should only need this single seam. The image shows the mesh from infront and behind/underneath so it should make more sense.    Double Edit: One more picture for clarity on the seam issue. The mesh is unfolding correctly, it is just the scale of the unfolded map that is incorrect (in relation to one another)
Windows 10 high memory usage (unknown reason) When adjusting the volume in Windows 8.1, a box appears at the top left corner of the screen. This box sticks around for ~13 seconds before it fades away. If you attempt to dismiss it by click on it, it switches to the music app.  How do you disable or dismiss this annoying box? At the very least, can the time visible be adjusted? More times than not, it's in the way. Which tag is used in the title of a question?   It does not seem to be the most popular It does not seem to be the first in the tagging order:   This question   is prefixed with NGINX (which is actually completely fine)  And it is tagged with "php nginx fastcgi magento" in the order of popularity.  Can we choose the tag to use in the title manually? Running two independent instances of Chrome I use Chrome as my main browser.  I also spend a lot of time on a particular webapp that my company uses.  I'd like to keep those two things separate.  I can run the webapp in a separate window - but I'd like to go further than that.  I'd like to have it be identified by a different task in the Win 7 taskbar; ideally a different icon; and ideally a different title in Process Monitor.  How can I run a second, independent instance of Chrome, with a different title and icon, that won't merge with my main Chrome browser.

Drag and drop not working inside Nautilus on Ubuntu 17.10 I'm having a strange problem on Ubuntu 17.10: when I try to drag and drop something inside Nautilus it simply doesn't work, it doesn't even select the item, it seems like it's ignoring the action... Also, I cannot select things inside nautilus by drawing rectangles with the mouse.  All of these actions work only on the Desktop. Here is a demo:    I'm using the Xorg session with nVidia proprietary drivers. I also noticed that Nautilus seems to hang when I try to copy, paste or cut a file...  EDIT 1: I solved the problem for the slow copy/paste by disabling the clipboard sync plugin of KDEConnect. I also discovered that if I open Nautilus as root, I can drag and drop or select whatever I want... Is there a guideline about when to end expressions with semicolons?

I'm wondering why we use encrypt-decrypt-encrypt (EDE) sequence in 3DES (also known as DES-EDE, TDES or TDEA) with three keys instead of three times encryption (EEE) with three different keys?

Baby Rudin Theorem 1.20 (b) Proof I have a question about Rudin's proof of Theorem 1.20 (b) in his book Principles of Mathematical Analysis.  Theorem 1.20 is stated as follows:     (a) If $x\in R, y\in R$, and $x&gt;0$, then there is a positive integer $n$ such that $$nx&gt;y.$$   (b) If $x\in R, y\in R$, and $x&lt;y$, then there exists a $p\in Q$ such that $x&lt;p&lt;y$.     I understand Rudin's proof of (a).  The beginning of Rudin's proof of (b) is given below:     Since $x&lt;y$, we have $y-x&gt;0$, and (a) furnishes a positive integer $n$ such that $$n(y-x)&gt;1.$$  Apply (a) again, to obtain positive integers $m_1$ and $m_2$ such that $m_1&gt;nx$, $m_2&gt;-nx$.  Then $$-m_2&lt;nx&lt;m_1.$$  Hence there is an integer $m$ (with $-m_2\leq m\leq m_1$) such that $$m-1\leq nx&lt;m.$$   I don't understand the justification for this last sentence beginning "Hence...."  How is $m$ found, and why are $m_1$ and $m_2$ needed to find $m$? What is the relativistic calculation of travel time to Proxima Centauri? It has already been  how fast a probe would have to travel to reach Alpha Centauri within 60 years.  NASA has done  into a probe that would take 100 years to make the trip.  But I am interested in this question from a slightly different perspective.  I would like to know how long the trip from our solar system to Proxima Centauri would take for both a ship and for an observer on Earth while accounting for the effects of general relativity on a .  The following assumptions may be made:   The ship starts and ends at 0 km/s relative to the Earth observer. The ship experiences a constant force of acceleration of 20 g until the half-way point and then a constant force of deceleration of 20 g until the destination. The path traveled is such that accleration is in only one spatial direction. The distance traveled is 4.25 light years.   Calculate (accounting for general relativistic effects):   Time of trip for Earth-based observer. Time of trip for ship-based observer. Maximum speed.   You don't need to consider mass, or life-support systems, or method of propulsion; I am really only interested in the effects of relativity on the perceived time of the trip. What do the slashes mean in the character tables? I've been reading the PF core rulebook, but confused over some of the data in the Character tables, and not found anywhere in the book that explains it, so wondering if someone could explain it?  Taking the Monk class table for example:     Level | Base Attack Bonus | ..... | Flurry of Blows Bonus      1st       |       +0          |   ....    |        -1/-1      2nd       |       +1          |   ....    |        +0/+0      ...      ...      16th  |       +12/+7/+2   |   ....    |        +14/+14/+9/+9/+4/+4/-1      17th  |       +12/+7/+2   |   ....    |        +15/+15/+10/+10/+5/+5/+0      18th  |       +13/+8/+3   |   ....    |        +16/+16/+11/+10/+6/+6/+1   What do the slashes between the bonuses mean?
