I've downloaded the daily Ubuntu 12.04 iso.  I currently have windows 7 x64 operating system installed.  How can I make a bootable usb from the Ubuntu iso?
I am typing to get a sale amount (by input) to be multiplied by a defined sales tax (0.08) and then have it print the total amount (sales tax times sale amount).  I run into this error. Anyone know what could be wrong or have any suggestions?   salesAmount = raw_input (["Insert sale amount here \n"]) ['Insert sale amount here \n']20.99 &gt;&gt;&gt; salesTax = 0.08 &gt;&gt;&gt; totalAmount = salesAmount * salesTax  Traceback (most recent call last):   File "&lt;pyshell#57&gt;", line 1, in &lt;module&gt;     totalAmount = salesAmount * salesTax TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'float' How do I halt an android phone using adb command? I can reboot, but I don't know how to halt.  I tried shutdown -k wait command, but it did not work. Where are the images from  coming from?  Where are they being saved on my system?  Is there any way for me to point this at my own source of images? I've searched the net for such information and found different command lines, like these ones:  sudo apt-get remove application sudo apt-get remove application*  sudo apt-get remove --purge application sudo apt-get remove --purge application*  sudo apt-get purge application sudo apt-get purge application*   So, what is the correct way? Is it necessary to use that "*"?  After that, I also found these commands:  sudo updatedb sudo locate application sudo rm -rf (file/folder name) How to use regex in String.contains() method in Java Geometric intuition of improper integrals I am aware that the area under the curve of $\frac{1}{x}$ is infinite yet the area under the curve of $\frac{1}{x^2}$ is finite.   Calculus and series wise, I understand what is going on, but I can't seem to get a good geometric intuition of the problem. Both curves can be shown to converge to $0$ (the curves themselves, not the area), and on the interval from $1$ to infinity, the two curves have nothing intrinsically different. Can someone please provide me with an good geometric intuition of what's going on? I can't find anything on the web, people seem to not want to explain it geometrically. What packages will let me use Cyrillic characters in math mode? Note I'm not actually planning on writing any, for instance, Russian prose or even any Russian words. It's just that, on paper, I've always had the habit of denoting sets by uppercase roman letters, sets of sets by script letters and, when the need arises, sets of sets of sets by uppercase Cyrillic letters. Is there some package I can load which will allow me to typeset (in LaTeX math mode) Cyrillic letters much as I would typeset Greek letters? ie. $\Zhe$ to produce an uppercase zhe. Thanks! To Find Large Powers in C++ Web-mapping with editing capabilities? Prove that for real number $p\geq  0$ we have   $$\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{(1^{1^p} \cdot2^{2^p}\cdots n^{n^p})^\frac{1}{n^{p+1}}}{n^\frac{1}{(p+1)}} = \exp\left(\dfrac{-1}{(p+1)^2}\right).$$ Parameterize an SQL IN clause How do I parameterize a query containing an IN clause with a variable number of arguments, like this one?  SELECT * FROM Tags  WHERE Name IN ('ruby','rails','scruffy','rubyonrails') ORDER BY Count DESC   In this query, the number of arguments could be anywhere from 1 to 5.  I would prefer not to use a dedicated stored procedure for this (or XML), but if there is some elegant way specific to , I am open to that. Simpler proof - Non atomic measures Suppose that $(X,\mathcal{E},\mu)$ is a non-atomic finite measure space (i.e. for every $E \in \mathcal{E}$ with $\mu(E)&gt;0$ there exists $F \subset E$ measurable such that $0&lt;\mu(F) &lt;\mu(E)$.)  a) Prove that for every $ \varepsilon &gt;0$ there is a finite partition of $X$ in measurable subsets $X_1,..,X_n$ such that $\mu(X_i)\leq \varepsilon$.  b) Prove that for every $\alpha \in [0,\mu(X)]$ there exists $E \in \mathcal{E}$ with $\mu(E)=\alpha$.    I guess that a) is given to prove b) more easily. I have the following idea of solution for a) (inspired from , which proves b)  )  Denote  $$ \Gamma = \{ (X_1,..,X_n) : n &gt;&gt; \mu(X)/\varepsilon, X_i \text{ are disjoint }, \mu(X_i)\leq \varepsilon \}$$ ordered by componentwise inclusion. Totally ordered parts $(Y_\alpha)$ of $\Gamma$ have an upper bound element $(\bigcup Y_\alpha^i)_{i=1}^n$ which is still in $\Gamma$.   By Zorn's lemma $\Gamma$ has maximal elements. If a maximal $(X_1..X_n)$ element is not a partition, then we can replace it with something better, of the form $(X_1,..,X_n\cup A)$ where $A \subset X \setminus (X_1 \cup..\cup X_n)$ and $\mu(A)&gt;0$.     My questions are:  1) Is my solution of a) correct? I feel that the part with the upper bound element may not work, since there might be noncountable unions.  2) What is a simpler solution of a)? How do I diagnose the source of focus problem in a camera? Probably a novice question, but how do I correctly diagnose from a photo for what reason that camera wasn't able to focus properly?

I want to be able to connect to it via Remote Desktop without a password, so I can login with the original user. (I don't want to add another user just for the mstsc)  Is there a way of doing that?  The OS is Windows 7, 32bit. Prove $\chi(G)\chi(\bar{G}) \geq n$ for chromatic number of graph and its complement There are several ideas on hard determinism, but the core seems to be that in an interconnected existence, there can be no "actions" (free will), but only "reactions" (determinism). An action of free will would have to be a separate entity outside of existence, so we'd say it can't occur.   Now fast forward to Joe Schmo the robbing/murdering/rapist.  Joe wasn't born in some infinite bliss utopia, then decided one day to invent the concept of scumbaggery.  He's a product of an incomprehensible number of variables - maybe some are apparent like his dad was a violent alcoholic or whatever, but most likely it's far more complicated than that.    So that's fine - I get all that - but if that's the case, then how can you ethically deal with people like that?  You can't hardly let them do what they please at the expense of society, but then how can you get medieval on them when they're basically riding a wave?  I think that's a big reason why people fight concepts of determinism that mitigate or eradicate the concept of free will - now everyone has a license to do what they want and how can you punish them, it's not their fault!  How would/could/should you consolidate hard determinism with responding to criminal acts? How to disable grub menu at boot time in Ubuntu 20.04? echo "-e" doesn't print anything I'm using GNU bash, version 3.00.15(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu). And this command:  echo "-e"    doesn't print anything. I guess this is because "-e" is one of a valid options of echo command because echo "-n" and echo "-E" (the other two options) also produce empty strings.  The question is how to escape the sequence "-e" for echo to get the natural output ("-e"). How is Starkiller Base's beam visible from Takodana in The Force Awakens? On Takodana,      the main characters and various bar patrons can see the planet Hosnian Prime being destroyed by Starkiller Base with their (respective) naked eyes. How did they see this? Is the Hosnian system close enough to see? If it's not very close and they could just see the explosion, how did the light from it reach them so quickly? How to rsync files between two remotes? I would like to transfer files between two remote hosts using on local shell, but it seems rsync doesn't support synchronisation if two remotes are specified as follow:  $ rsync -vuar host1:/var/www host2:/var/www The source and destination cannot both be remote.   What other workarounds/commands I could use to achieve similar results?
