I've recently started using blender, and was working with it just fine, when I accidentally changed how the scaling and rotating works. Now when I try to scale something, it scales as if the selector was the senter. Axis locked translations are also affected by this, as I have to find the selector to translate it.
I have a sword that currently rotates around a pivot point thats off of the actual object. Im new to blender and im not sure how i would go about changing it so that the sword rotates around the handle. Any help would be appreciated!
How do users get started on new Stack Exchange sites? How do users on the new Stack Exchange sites get started? Each user starts with 1 rep, and can't upvote until they have 15 rep.  It struck me that this creates a bit of a deadlock. If a new user asks a question and a new user answers, neither can upvote the other.  Are we relying solely on existing SE users to join these exchange sites (with their bonus 100 rep) so that they can get started? Question about probable fixed use of "what do you do?" and "how do you do?" Do we always have to use the question how do you do? fixed in greeting people? Can we ask it in other situations rather than greetings? Like when we are wondering how someone is doing the given task.  Do we always have to use the question what do you do? for asking about sojeone's job? Can we use it sonetimes instead of ** what are you doing?** Is there any way to recover deleted files which may have since been overwritten? I deleted lots of files &amp; folders on my laptop and then I put a new files in the same folders. I need to recover the deleted files. I tried a lot of recovery software and I couldn't recover my old files.   I read that if you refill the folders with new files after deleting old ones then I can't recover them again. Is that true?   What should I do? For $x$ and $\lambda$ complex, if $|x| \gt \frac{1}{2} + \sqrt{\frac{5}{4} + |\lambda|}$ then $|x^2+\lambda| \gt |x| +1$ Define $f(z) = z \ ^ 2 + \lambda$ and $V = \left\{x \in \Bbb C : |x| \gt \frac{1}{2} + \sqrt{\frac{5}{4} + |\lambda|} \right\}$, for some $\lambda \in \Bbb C$.   Then, if $x \in V$ then $|f(x)| \gt |x| +1$.   I tried the following :   Let $x\in V$ then $|f(x)| = |x \  ^ 2 +\lambda | \ge |x |  \ ^ 2 - | \lambda| \gt (\frac{1}{2} + \sqrt{\frac{5}{4} + |\lambda|}) \  ^ 2 - |\lambda| = 1.5 + \sqrt{\frac{5}{4} + |\lambda|} $.  But this doesn't get me anywhere. Let $G$ be a group and $c\in G$. Define $*$ on $G$ by: $x*y=xdy$ for all $x,y\in G$, where $d$ is the inverse of $c$. Prove $(G,*)$ is a group. Let $G$ be a group and $c$ be a fixed element of $G$. Define a new operation $*$ on G by:   $$x*y=xdy$$   for all $x$ and $y$ in $G$, where $d$ is the inverse of $c$. Prove that $G$ is a group under the operation $*$.    If you want to check, this problem is in the book “A Course In Group Theory”, by John F. Humphreys (problem $3$, page $28$)   I know what are the axioms that $(G,*)$ must obey in order to be a group and I did show that all the axioms where obeyed except the inverse axiom.  My problem is that, whenever I try to verify what would the inverse be for some element $x$, I get an equation where the $x$ is cancelled in both sides.  Can please someone guide me?  Thank you!  (P.S.: This is NOT a homework assignment, I’m studying Group Theory by this book and got problems solving this question) Does Metal have to be Hemalurgically charged for Ruin to control someone? I have two exchange accounts on my iPhone 4. One that connects to my gmail, the other connects to my work's Lotus Notes. There are no overlapping contacts in the two accounts. There are also no contacts saved locally on my phone.   When I enable contacts in both accounts, I get two identical entries for each of the contacts in my gmail. If I disable the Notes exchange account, then there are no more duplicates. If I have Notes contacts enabled, and gmail contacts disabled then I have no contacts at all.  Does anyone know what is going on? Is this a problem with having multiple exchange accounts or is it a Lotus Traveler problem? (I tend to blame Notes for all the trouble in the world, but that is just my bias)  Thanks all. A geometry question: Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral. Prove that AD is parallel to BC. Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral such that the length of the segment connecting midpoints of the two opposite sides $AB$ and $CD$ equals $\frac{AD+BC}{2}$ . Prove that AD is parallel to BC. I assume that AD is not parallel to BC but I can't find any contradiction. I need to delete some rows from one large table. The rows to delete shouldn't be in another table, example:  DELETE FROM LargeTable WHERE id IS NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT foreign_id from EvenLargerTable)  but my server can't handle such blunt query, because there are almost a million records in the LargeTable and few million records in the EvenLargerTable  How can I solve it? Best method for short time-series Ubuntu installation is slow, why? I am currently installing Ubuntu 12.04.3. Everything was going fine until I came across this...     Installing System   It is sssooooooo close to being finished! Like 1/6 of the way there! I just wanted to know if this is normal or if something is wrong. I'm installing it through a flash drive if that helps   Also,what will happen if I press the skip button that pops up when I click Installing System? I am trying to draw a cantor set in LaTeX and I am having issues doing this. I am trying multiple \put commands, but they just go to the right of one another. Does anyone know how to do this?

I know the  processors have been around for a long time and are mostly used in servers, but I am curious, why do people not use the Xeons in a high performance desktop?    As far as I know about the best desktop processor out there now is the  line. The i7's and Xeons are both quad-core processors, what is the main difference in these? I just saw that the MacBook Pro's are using the quad core Xeons instead of the i7's. Setting items to status-completed before they're deployed In several scenarios, including two today ( and ), we have had bugs set to  simply because the fix has been checked in. Just because the code portion has been completed does not mean the work is done, and this can be confusing for users who come across the same problem. Until then it really is  or maybe a tag that doesn't yet exist (status-checked-in?).  Particularly in times like this week, where the stability of the system is a priority, I don't think this status should be set merely because the code has been checked in - it should happen when the code is actually deployed and verified. Currently the devs are being very good about telling us that the code is done but they're not sure when it will be deployed, but I think that is because of the stability issue. Is $\mathbb{Z}[x]/(x^2+1)$  isomorphic to  $\mathbb{Z}[i]$?   My attempt is that try to define a mapping $g$ from $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ to $\mathbb{Z}[i]$ by $g(f(x))= f(i)$, for $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$. If it is possible then $\ker g$ is $(x^2+1)$? Am I on the right track? Please Help. "Software Updater" & "Software & Updates" not working I havent used my Ubuntu for quite a long time.  Today, when I booted Ubuntu (14.04 LTS), the software updater and Software &amp; Updates (from Settings) are not working.  The software updater's window will show up for around 1 sec, but it will close automatically. Software &amp; Updates is never shown, no matter how many times I click the icon. Note that neither of them show any error message.  Those 2 features were working perfectly the last time I used Ubuntu. I want to do some system upgrade and update.  For now, I use sudo apt-get update &amp;&amp; sudo apt-get upgrade. This command runs very fast, meaning (I think) my Ubuntu is not updated properly. The update from software updater always has a big size hence the download should be slower.  What should I do?   Can I just uninstall and reinstall both of them? If I can, how to do it?  Just to clarify, I don't want to upgrade my Ubuntu version (I want the LTS one), I just want to upgrade the software/packages I used.  Thanks for your time. The Node Editor won't work for the object selected Is the simulation hypothesis outside of science? On the question of the  (i.e. that reality is a simulation), a friend of mine once remarked he didn't accept it on the grounds of . To me (with my admittedly instrumentalist view of science) this seems a misuse of Ockham's razor in that all my friend is really claiming is that it isn't empirically necessary (and hence outside of science).  Is the simulation hypothesis outside of science? If so, then does it pose a problem for scientific realism? If not, is it falsifiable? Is it an empirical question? derivative under integral intuition
