It has been known that USB Storage functionality was removed in Android 4.4.x and subsequent version of Android.   PTP doesn't work very well on cross-platforms, not to mention it restricts files to certain media types.   MTP works in Windows and in some Linux distributions with certain tweaks. However, it is not very stable and breaks often when transferring huge files (on all of my three Android devices).  The question is to suggest some good alternatives for file transfer between Desktop and Android without compromising data transfer speed (via USB cable). It implies that no data transfer apps using hotspot/wifi should be suggested like Airdroid, WeLine, Webkey et al.    Note that the solution should work on at least all of the Android 4.x.x versions and possibly on 5.0 too. A similar question was asked  but its limited to Android 4.0.x.
Since the latest versions (ICS+?) no longer have mass storage, is there any viable alternative to MTP?  The protocol seems inherently broken and the decision to regress to this format seems like a very 'iphone-esque' move (dumb things down, take away power from the users).  There seem to be numerous problems  with files not showing and it seems to me that transferring a file should be simpler than requiring a system reboot - I am unreasonably demanding that way.  I'm aware of tools like Wi-Fi file transfer but often I find myself in areas without wifi, with just my laptop, phone and a usb cable. The other day, for example, I was one a plane, which is an environment decidedly non-conducive to using a wireless system.
More section headings? I am a novice in LaTeX and I have one question.  Can someone tell me what if you want more heading's in LaTeX. Like 5 or 10 or even 15. Is there a package for that? How are Clash of Clans multiplayer battles determined Are battles determined by level or trophies? Just curious. Will my software work on the next version of Windows I have some software and I'd like to know if it works on the next version of Windows (Windows 10). I am making the check for update script for my theme  I have 2 text files. First one is called "current.txt" and contains the current version. There is 4.1.1 string in that text file.  Second one is called "latest.txt" and contains the latest version. There is 4.2 string in this text file.  So here is the code  echo "Checking update"; x=$(cat ./current.txt) y=$(cat ./latest.txt) if [ "$x" -eq "$y" ] then        echo There is version $y update else        echo Version $x is the latest version fi   What it mean is if current.txt is NOT the same with latest.txt then it will say "there is version 4.2 update". If not, it will say "version 4.1.1 is the latest version"  But when I try to run it. I get this error  Checking update ./test.sh: line 4: [: 4.1.1: integer expression expected Version 4.1.1 is the latest version   So what am I doing wrong with this? Rings' second isomorphism theorem I am thinking about the proof of the second isomorphism theorem, and something isn't very clear to me.   Let $R$ be a ring, $S\subset R$ a subring and $I\subset R$ an ideal. We have the natural homomorphism $f:R\rightarrow R/I$. The theorem states that $\mathrm{Im}(S)=(S+I)/I$. My question is why not simply $\mathrm{Im}(S)=S/I$?  I understand that it is not true (for starters, $S/I$ need not be a subring), but I cannot explain that to my self in a convincing way. Is there a way to have Cycles skip rendering alpha? If I wanted to create an animation, each frame would have several seconds of rendering a completely transparent part, which adds up obviously. Is there a way to eliminate this waste of time? Find a parabola touches the line $y=x$ and $y=-x$ at $A(3,3)$ and $B(1,-1)$ If a parabola touches the line $y=x$ and $y=-x$ at $A(3,3)$ and $B(1,-1)$, then find the focus, axis of the parabola and its directrix.   What I thought: Since the 2 tangents are perpendicular,the origin must lie on the directrix and the line joining A and B is a focal chord. Don't know how to proceed from here.. If $a$, $b$, $c$ are the roots of $x^3-6x^2+3x+1=0$, find all possible values of $a^2b+b^2c+c^2a$ Let $a$, $b$, $c$ be the roots of $$x^3 - 6x^2 + 3x + 1 = 0$$ Find all possible values of $a^2 b + b^2 c + c^2 a$. Express all the possible values, in commas.  I've already tried to bash out all the roots, Vieta's Formula, and try to manipulate the equation to become easier to work with. However, Vieta's didn't get me anywhere, and I couldn't find a way to make the equation simpler or anything. Any hints to start this problem? Python provides the "*" operator for unpacking a list of tuples and giving them to a function as arguments, like so:  args = [3, 6] range(*args)            # call with arguments unpacked from a list   This is equivalent to:  range(3, 6)   Does anyone know if there is a way to achieve this in PHP? Some googling for variations of "PHP Unpack" hasn't immediately turned up anything.. perhaps it's called something different in PHP? On every boot up I get this:    For about 10 seconds (or more) before the "normal" Ubuntu Gnome loading screen and the login screen comes up.  I've read some questions and a bug report about this already, but this problem was dismissed as a minor inconvenience or there were no real solutions (that worked for me). For me, this problem leads to an unacceptable slow boot compared to Ubuntu (Unity) or Windows.  Does anybody know how to fix this or is this a "feature" of Ubuntu Gnome and not a bug?

Change hanging indent in description list I'm trying to get a description's list hanging indent to lie flush with the first line of text.  I have a description list such as the following:  \begin{description}  \item[Label the first] Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing                         elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et                         dolore magna aliqua.  \item[The longest label] Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation                           ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo                           consequat.  \item[Shrtlbl] Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse                 cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. \end{description}   This produces the following output:    I would like to have each paragraph indented so that the following lines are flush with the first letter of the list item's text, the way it's laid out in my TeX.  For instance, the "s" of "sectetur" should be right under the "L" of "Lorem".  I've tried looking through the documentation of , but I can't seem to find a good option.  I tried specifying [leftmargin=3cm, style=sameline], but this results in the following:    This isn't quite right: I'm trying to get each item lined up differently, so that the "L" of "Lorem" is not necessarily flush with the "U" of "Ut" or the "D" of "Duis".  Does anybody know a good way to do this? Proof that the largest eigenvalue of a stochastic matrix is $1$ How do I set up a Cron job? When I've worked a bit with my source code, I did my usual thing commit and then I pushed to a remote repository. But then I noticed I forgot to organize my imports in the source code. So I do the amend command to replace the previous commit:  &gt; git commit --amend   Unfortunately the commit can't be pushed back to the repository. It is rejected like this:  &gt; git push origin To //my.remote.repo.com/stuff.git/  ! [rejected]        master -&gt; master (non-fast forward) error: failed to push some refs to '//my.remote.repo.com/stuff.git/'   What should I do? (I can access the remote repository.) Any complete group (that is, with trivial center and outer automorphism group) is isomorphic to its automorphism group. The inverse is not true, as the dihedral group of order 8 is isomorphic to its automorphism group but isn't complete.  Problem 15.29 in the Kourovka Notebook asks to find another exemple of a p-group, but I was wondering, is any other exemple known? Is there any other finite (or even infinite) group (not necessarily a p-group) which is isomorphic to its automorphism group but isn't complete? Display solution/file path in the Visual Studio IDE I frequently work with multiple instances of Visual Studio, often working on different branches of the same solution.   used to display the full path of the current source file in its title bar, but Visual&nbsp;Studio 2005 doesn't appear to do this. This makes it slightly more awkward than it should be to work out which branch of the solution I'm currently looking at (the quickest way I know of is to hover over a tab so you get the source file's path as a tooltip).  Is there a way to get the full solution or file path into the title bar, or at least somewhere that's always visible, so I can quickly tell which branch is loaded into each instance? Reset lightning:input textbox Field Value to Null I am trying to create a button which will update a field value to null (RESET it). However, it's not working and not even giving any error.
