HP pavilion g6 with Intel® Core™ i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz × 4  4gb ram,64bit
I have 14.04.5/16.04 or newer and an AMD GPU. I'm not getting the performance I want, and some programs say they need things like OpenCL.  I've heard about fglrx, but if I try to install it on my machine, it breaks and I have no GUI.  Is there anything I can do to get my AMD card working to its full potential?
Voldemort ordered Nagini to kill Snape in hopes of claiming the Elder Wand's ownership.  Let's suppose that Snape was indeed the owner.  In this scenario, would the Elder Wand's ownership truly pass to Voldemort?  I ask this because, after all, the one who overpowered Snape was Nagini, not Voldemort.   Voldemort ordered Nagini to kill Snape. However, this would be equivalent to ordering a Death Eater to kill Snape, in which case the Death Eater would gain the ownership - in a similar manner, Nagini is the murderer. Nagini isn't a "spell": remember how Draco summoned a snake to attack Harry back at CoS? If that snake kills Harry, I'd imagine that Draco gains the ownership (if Harry had the Elder Wand) because that snake was a "spell" casted by Draco - but this time is different, because Nagini isn't a "spell" casted by Voldemort, but rather an actual third-party creature.   The curious thing is that Voldemort did cast some sort of spell (he flicked his wand), which I think caused Nagini's barrier to break so Nagini could kill Snape. In some way, Voldemort did provoke Snape's death - however, it was mostly indirectly.  So, would the ownership pass to Nagini or to Voldemort? If it passes to Nagini, would the Elder Wand's "ownership cycle" end, or would it continue if Voldemort decides to kill Nagini?    The simplified version of this question is: if an animal kills the owner of the Elder Wand, what happens to its ownership? How to unlock gungeoneers I've seen on a wiki that there is a ghost gungeoneer and a robot gungeoneer but it didn't say how to unlock them, so how do I unlock more gungeoneers ? How are the file metadata stored in Windows? (I'm using Windows XP but I guess it's similar in all the recent versions of Windows.)  When you create for example a new empty text document, you'll find in its properties that it has size of 0 bytes. Zero bytes means no information. No data. But still, the file has some name, it can still carry the dates of last access, modification and creation. It carries the information whether it's hidden file or not, whether it's read-only or not...  So where are all the metadata stored? What was Tauriel doing during the events of The Lord of the Rings movies? [Yes, The Hobbit movies are nonsense. But how could I call myself a fantasy fan if I didn't demand my nonsense be as logical as possible?]  Tauriel is presented as a highly-skilled fighter and a combatant for the side of good. Despite this, she apparently did nothing during Sauron's war on the free peoples.  Was she somehow     still mourning Killi, after all these decades?   Was she dead? Or is there another reason she didn't participate? Using the expression "the same" for a previously mentioned item Coefficients change signs I have a dataset where there is a high degree of multicollinearity, with all variables correlating positively with each other and the dependent variable. However, on some of the models I run I get a couple of significant negative coefficients. Basically there are two coefficients that depending on what variables I include in the model, I can manipulate their signs.  My understanding is that if the variance-covariance matrix only contain positive values, then all coefficients should also be positive. Is this correct? Turn off automatic preview in apple mail I have a multiboot system set up. The system has three drives. Multiboot is configured with Windows XP, Windows 7, and Ubuntu - all on the first drive. I had a lot of unpartitioned space left on the drive and was reserving it for adding other OSes and for storing files there in the future.  One day I went ahead and downloaded Partition Wizard and created a logical NTFS partition from within Windows 7, still some unpartitioned space left over. Everything worked fine, until I rebooted the computer a few days later.  Now I'm getting:    error: unknown filesystem.   grub rescue&gt;   First of all I was surprised not to find any kind of help command, by trying:    help, ?, man, --help, -h, bash, cmd, etc.  Now I'm stuck with non-bootable system. I have started researching the issue and finding that people usually recommend to boot to a Live CD and fix the issue from there. Is there a way to fix this issue from within grub rescue without the need for Live CD?  UPDATE  By following the steps from , I was able to boot to initramfs prompt. But not anywhere further than that.  So far from reading the manual on , I was able to see my drives and partitions using ls command. For the first hard drive I see the following: (hd0) (hd0,msdos6) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1)  I now know that (hd0,msdos6) contains Linux on it, since ls (hd0,msdos6)/ lists directories. Others will give "error: unknown filesystem."  UPDATE 2  After the following commands I am now getting to the boot menu and can boot into Windows 7 and Ubuntu, but upon reboot I have to repeat these steps.    ls ls (hd0,msdos6)/ set root=(hd0,msdos6) ls / set prefix=(hd0,msdos6)/boot/grub insmod /boot/grub/linux.mod normal   UPDATE 3  Thanks Shashank Singh, with your instructions I have simplified my steps to the following. I have learned from you that I can replace msdos6 with just a 6 and that I can just do insmod normal instead of insmod /boot/grub/linux.mod. Now I just need to figure out how to save this settings from within grub itself, without booting into any OS.  set root=(hd0,6) set prefix=(hd0,6)/boot/grub insmod normal normal   UPDATE 4  Well, it seems like it is a requirement to boot into Linux. After booting into Ubuntu I have performed the following steps described in the :  sudo update-grub sudo grub-install /dev/sda   This did not resolve the issue. I still get the grub rescue prompt. What do I need to do to permanently fix it?  I have also learned that drive numbers as in hd0 need to be translated to drive letters as in /dev/sda for some commands. hd1 would be sdb, hd2 would be sdc, and so on. Partitions listed in grub as (hd0,msdos6) would be translated to /dev/sda6.  UPDATE 5  I could not figure out why the following did not fix grub:  sudo update-grub sudo grub-install /dev/sda   So I downloaded  based on an answer from  post. That seemed to do the trick after I picked the "Recommended Repair (repairs most frequent problems)" option. $P(X<Y)$ where X and Y are exponential with means $2$ and $1$ Close/minimize/maximize button not appearing I was playing around with compizconfig. I don't remember what exactly I clicked. Since then, the close/minimize buttons and the sidebar vanished. I use 12.10 version. Please help me out. My document should be letterpaper and my attachments should be a4paper. I had high hopes for the \newgeometry command from the geometry package, but the documentation says      \newgeometry is almost similar to   \geometry except that \newgeometry   disables all the options specified in   the preamble and skips the   papersize-related options: landscape,   portrait and paper size options (such   as papersize, paper=a4paper and so   forth).   Any help is appreciated! I need to build a function which parses the domain from a URL.  So, with   http://google.com/dhasjkdas/sadsdds/sdda/sdads.html   or  http://www.google.com/dhasjkdas/sadsdds/sdda/sdads.html  it should return google.com  with   http://google.co.uk/dhasjkdas/sadsdds/sdda/sdads.html  it should return google.co.uk. In MySql, find strings with a given prefix pm-hibernate freezes and/or fails to resume on Dell XPS 13, 14.04, 3.19 kernel I'm running 14.04 on a new XPS 13. In order to support the newer hardware, I'm running a mainline 3.19 kernel.   Hibernate resume has been iffy with the entire 3.19 kernel line, but recently (3.19.5) pm-hibernate no longer works at all. The screen will either a) switch off momentarily, then back on with all inputs frozen or b) switch off entirely, and fail to resume upon power on (despite displaying the correct resume-from-uuid message).  I have enough swap space (and it has worked in the past), I have checked that the uuid is being correctly referenced, and nothing seems particularly amiss in /var/log/pm-suspend.log (last 200 lines here: )  Thanks for your help. Commutator of a group Why must a field whose a group of units is cyclic be finite? Let $F$ be a field and $F^\times$ be its group of units. If $F^\times$ is cyclic, then show that $F$ is finite.  I'm a bit stuck. I know that I can represent $F^\times = \langle u \rangle$ for some $u \in F^\times$ and that we must have that $|F^\times| = o(u)$, where $o(u)$ denotes the order of $u$ in $F^\times$.  I tried assuming $o(u) = \infty$, but I'm not sure exactly where to go from there. I was wondering if I could get a hint. Keep the same field headers after joining a table to a shapefile in QGIS I noticed that after joining a table to a shapefile the headers of each fields in the table used for the join are changed by QGIS and they are attributed to a different name.  For instance, I had a shapefile with vegetation_codes and a table with vegetation_codes and veg_definition (these were the headers). After joining the table to the shapefile and also saving the shapefile and creating a new one, the vegetation_classes header was changed into vegetati_1.  Is there a way to keep the original headers?  I am using QGIS Dufour on Windows 7 and the table that I join to the shapefile is CSV (tried with dbf as well and the problem is the same). Longest line using awk Does each new Horcrux take half of Voldemort's remaining soul, thus taking a smaller piece each time? When you commit a murder and create a Horcrux, you split your soul. It’s been talked a lot about Voldemort splitting his soul in 7/8 parts. But I think his remaining soul was not 1/7 or 1/8 but far more weaker than that because he did not create all Horcruxes at once.  When he created his first Horcrux, his soul was split into 50-50 (diary). But when the second Horcrux was created, it was created by Voldemort only and the first Horcrux soul should have remained intact. Hence it would have been a 25-25 split of Voldemort's main soul. And so on for every split.  Am I right? What's the best blog post/video/tweet/whatever to explain how the Stack Exchange system works to regular people? I am trying to gauge interest for a new Stack Exchange site, but I want to explain it to people as best (and preferably) as visually as I can. Any YouTube clips breaking it down?  anyone?  Note: I am fully aware of , but mine is about Stack Exchange, not Stack Overflow.  Most people think I'm describing traditional forum software, which they know sucks. Is there some way to describe the magic of how the design of the Stack Exchange system actually produces useful results very quickly? I can describe generally that it is a Q&amp;A site that users vote on the answers, but Stack Overflow feels like so much more. Am I perhaps thinking too big about this?
