I downloaded Ubuntu 15.10 desktop software from its official website which was in a winrar file. I have been having problems to convert to a iso disc image file. Is there a link where i can download the iso file directly.
I would like to see a full how-to guide on how to install Ubuntu.
Give read-only access to specific folders? How to exclude files from Visual Studio compile? I'm in the process of refactoring a project.  I've got an entire subfolder which is known to be broken.  Is there any declarative way to exclude that folder from the compile temporarily while I test the refactoring thus far?  I realize I could delete the folder, but I'd like to do this through configuration if possible. How do I write a short literal in C++? Very basic question: how do I write a short literal in C++?  I know the following:   2 is an int 2U is an unsigned int 2L is a long 2LL is a long long 2.0f is a float 2.0 is a double '\2' is a char.   But how would I write a short literal?  I tried 2S but that gives a compiler warning. Side-by-side source and output when documenting a style file How to force Wine into acting like 32-bit Windows on 64-bit Ubuntu? Why didn't Elizabeth get cursed? In Pirates of the Caribbean, whoever has the Aztec gold gets cursed.  But Elizabeth had the gold coin with her which Bootstrap gave to his son Will before he was tied to a cannon and dropped to the ocean floor.  Barbossa states that they were cursed because of Aztec gold.  Also in the fight between Jack and Barbossa, Jack takes a gold coin and he was also cursed.  Why didn't Elizabeth get affected? Or was she also cursed and nobody noticed? Can I move the Unity launcher? I pressed F2 to take a few Minecraft screenshots. Later I couldn't find them. Where are they stored on my computer? Automatically convert quotations in the form of "abc" to become ``abc" Proving that $S=\{\frac{1}{n}:n\in\mathbb{Z}\}\cup\{0\}$ is compact using the open cover definition Let $S=\{\frac{1}{n}:n\in\mathbb{Z}\}\cup\{0\}$ be a subset of $\mathbb{R}$. I have to prove using the open cover definition that this is compact. Could you help me, please? How to create a Geometric Polygonal Art portrait I've been interested in creating Geometric Polygonal art illustrations, i.e. making polygons and shapes with different color shading represent a face, or an object, see  set of .  How are they achieved? Is there some script for Illustrator which alters the image adding the shapes according to the colors or shades? How would I transform a normal image of Marilyn Monroe for example, to a polygonal illustration of her? Pointer to class data member "::*" I came across this strange code snippet which compiles fine:  class Car {     public:     int speed; };  int main() {     int Car::*pSpeed = &amp;Car::speed;     return 0; }   Why does C++ have this pointer to a non-static data member of a class? What is the use of this strange pointer in real code? While working in a Java app, I recently needed to assemble a comma-delimited list of values to pass to another web service without knowing how many elements there would be in advance. The best I could come up with off the top of my head was something like this:  public String appendWithDelimiter( String original, String addition, String delimiter ) {     if ( original.equals( "" ) ) {         return addition;     } else {         return original + delimiter + addition;     } }  String parameterString = ""; if ( condition ) parameterString = appendWithDelimiter( parameterString, "elementName", "," ); if ( anotherCondition ) parameterString = appendWithDelimiter( parameterString, "anotherElementName", "," );   I realize this isn't particularly efficient, since there are strings being created all over the place, but I was going for clarity more than optimization.  In Ruby, I can do something like this instead, which feels much more elegant:  parameterArray = []; parameterArray &lt;&lt; "elementName" if condition; parameterArray &lt;&lt; "anotherElementName" if anotherCondition; parameterString = parameterArray.join(",");   But since Java lacks a join command, I couldn't figure out anything equivalent.  So, what's the best way to do this in Java? Prevent a part of the caption from appearing in the list of figures I am using the 'article' class, 'figure' environment.  My captions are divided in two parts:   the information about the figure the credits of the figure (for which I use \textfff{})   In my list of figures, I would like to omit the second part. Would you have a solution, please? Pluralizing Noun Phrase? I need to run something as sudo without a password, so I used visudo and added this to my sudoers file:  MYUSERNAME ALL = NOPASSWD: /path/to/my/program   Then I tried it out:  $ sudo /path/to/my/program [sudo] password for MYUSERNAME:    Why does it ask for a password? How can I run/use commands as root with a non-root user, without asking for a password? This one has me kind of stumped. I want to make the first word of all the paragraphs in my #content div at 14pt instead of the default for the paragraphs (12pt). Is there a way to do this in straight CSS or am I left wrapping the first word in a span to accomplish this? Why can you see virtual images? I have no idea how to find this integral:  $$\int_0^1\frac{(x-x^2)^4}{1+x^2}\ dx\ ?$$  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. if recursively find ext, then, else on unix This is what I normally use. But I need to recursively find an extension with, then, and else.
