I am using Dell Inspiron 15 R:   4GB RAM  500GB hard drive i5 processor   While using Android studio I generally use these three programs    Firefox browser Genymotion emulator Android studio   While doing this I end up using ~3.7 gb of my physical memory. Will adding more RAM make the system faster?
Apparently, you can speed up your computer by adding more RAM. Is the amount of ram to be added is directly or indirectly related to the amount of hard-disk  space, processor speed, Motherboard etc... Can the memory of a RAM be compared with Virtual Memory and Cache Memory?  Note: About my PC Configuration: Intel core i5 processor, Motherboard DP55WB 4GB RAM, 700 GB Hard-disk space.
Say $R$ is a commutative ring and $I\in R$ is an ideal. Let us consider the quotient $R/I$. It is created by taking every element $a\in R$, and adding all the elements of $I$ to it. The elements of $R/I$ are of the form $a+I$ and $b+I$, $\forall a,b\in R$.   Now $$(a+I).(b+I)=(a+i_{1}).(b+i_{2}),\forall (i_{1},i_{2})\in I \times I$$  $$(a+i_{1}).(b+i_{2})=ab+a.i_{2}+b.i_{1}+i_{1}i_{2}=ab+I$$  We know that $a.i_{2}+b.i_{1}+i_{1}i_{2}\in I$.   If $(a+I).(b+I)=ab+I$, then taking suitable $(i_{1},i_{2})\in I\times I$, we should be able to prove $(a+i_{1}).(b+i_{2})=ab+i_{3},\forall i_{3}\in I$. However, can every element in $I$ be generated by taking suitable $i_{1},i_{2}\in I$? And if not, is that the reason why $(a+I).(b+I)$ has to be defined as equal to $ab+I$ in violation of the distributive property of ring elements? This has confused me for a long time.   EDIT: I figured addition does not have to be defined as such because $(a+i_{1})+(b+i_{2})=a+b+i_{1}+i_{2}$, where $i_{1}+i_{2}\in I$. In fact, every element $i\in I$ can be constructed by taking $i_{1}=0$ and $i_{2}=i$. Hence, $(a+I) + (b+I)=a+b+I$ naturally. This is the logic I followed to determine that $(a+I).(b+I)$ doesn't quite work as nicey. I'm not sure if this logic is flawed or not as I haven't had the opportunity to ask anybody.   Thanks for your help in advance! Why didn't the Ministry use Veritaserum to question criminals? The truth potion (Veritaserum) is one of the most powerful potions that forces the drinker to speak truth. Then why didn't Ministry used it in any criminal cases instead of long discussions and proceedings? I know there are antidotes to the potion (Dumbledore tells Harry in the 6th book , "Slughorn might have been carrying antidote to veritaserum ever since I asked him about the memory"), but why don't keep criminals in custody until the effect of the antidote wears out and then make them drink veritaserum. Won't that result in perfect judgement? Unable to start Oracle database We have an Oracle database, one data file (users tablespace) of the instance got corrupt and another data file (containing application data) was deleted due to some issue.  The database is in ARCHIVELOG mode, but we neither have data file backup of both data files nor the pertaining archive logs. Hence, I guess we cannot go ahead with the recovery of data files. I am unable to open the database as the data files are not available and face.   ORA-01589: must use RESETLOGS or NORESETLOGS option for database open    I am just able to STARTUP MOUNT the database  I wanted to ask if we can somehow we can open the database by taking both the tablespaces offline after STARTUP MOUNT the database instance. Or if there is any other way I can start the database.   There was a power issue and the  server got abruptly shutdown. When we tried to restart the database and found that we were facing ORA-01589: must use RESETLOGS or NORESETLOGS option for database open. On further analysis we found that 2 of datafiles were creating problem as one got corrupt other deleted as mentioned. As of now if I try to restart the database it says one datafile which belongs to users tablespace need recovery. I wanted to confirm as if we can start the instance by bringing the tablespace offline.  I tried:  SQL&gt; select open_mode from v$database;  OPEN_MODE ---------- MOUNTED  SQL&gt; alter database open resetlogs; alter database open resetlogs * ERROR at line 1: ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent ORA-01110: data file 1: '/flowsystems/oradata02/flsta02/system01.dbf'   I don't have any archive logs. Setting a document in MS Word-12pt (12bp) Warning  If you're looking for advice how to make your document look like it's been written in Word, this is most likely not the question you're looking for. This question is mostly of theoretical nature, as it results in tiny differences, which will most likely not be noticed by someone who doesn't allow the use of LaTeX.  Questions that might be more helpful for this matter are:           Question  I learned that MS Word uses a slightly different version of the unit "point" (pt) than TeX does:     The 12 point of Word will be PostScript point, which in TeX would be called 12bp. A TeX pt is slightly smaller: it's 1/72.27 inch, while a bp/PostScript point is 1/72 inch. See also    ( in )  I'm writing a paper that would usually be expected to be "typeset" in MS Word, thus I want to use the same font size as Word would.  How do I set a document e.g. in the "12pt" font size that MS Word would use?  In case it matters, I'm using the article document class, Latin Modern (lmodern) as a font with the T1 font encoding and compile with pdfLaTeX, but input on different set-ups is more than welcome. Set value of textarea in jQuery I am attempting to set a value in a textarea field using jquery with the following code:  $("textarea#ExampleMessage").attr("value", result.exampleMessage);   The issue is, once this code executes, it is not altering the text in the textarea?  However when performing an alert($("textarea#ExampleMessage").attr("value")) the newly set value is returned?

I  buy mussels at Pusateri and Whole Food Market for a year in Toronto. They sell them on ice and dry, not in running water.      , Bart teaches add salt to cold water and  soak for 20 mins. But I repeat 6 times...so 20 mins x 6 times = 120 mins of soaking!!! Mussels exudate less black grime every next time, but even after 6 times, water still has much black grime! See my pic under! Why?

Suppose we are in $\mathbb R^n$. What can we say about the sign of $\Delta u(\vec x)$ if u($\vec x$) has a local max/min at $\vec x$? I've tried looking at the reverse of the second partial derivative test and it seems to suggest that $\Delta u(\vec x) \leq 0$ if $\vec x$ is a min and $\Delta u(\vec x) \geq 0$ if $\vec x$ is a max. However, I'm not convinced of this result. Can somebody point me towards a statement (theorem, etc.) involving the above.

Thanks So I decided to install my copy of Ableton (v9.1) on my computer now that I've upgraded to a machine that isn't ancient. HOWEVER Despite WineHQ reporting that Ableton is platinum-certified, I can't get the dern thing to open.  It crashes out just as the splash screen pops up.  Sometimes I see it, sometimes not.  It tells me that some catastrophic error has occurred, and it needs to close.  I've tried this on two different systems running two different versions of wine  (One runs the up-to-date public distro 1.6.2, while the machine I actually want to install it on is running the 1.7.19)  I don't know what to do.  I'd really just like to get this working, as my friends really like the look and feel of Ableton, and I really don't like LMMS (Linux-y free Audio Software).  Any idea what's going on here? I've found a couple of other people who seem to be having the same problem as me, but no dice on any solutions.  None provided, really.

Maxing out gear with maxed out smithing, enchanting and alchemy What is the difference between public, protected, package-private and private in Java? I am a graduate student in economics who recently converted to R from other very well-known statistical packages (I was using SPSS mainly). My little problem at the moment is that I am the only R user in my class. My classmates use Stata and Gauss and one of my professors even said that R is perfect for engineering, but not for economics. He said that many packages are built by people who know a lot about programming, but not much about economics and therefore are not reliable. He also mentioned the fact that since no money is actually involved in building an R package, there is therefore no incentive to do it correctly (unlike in Stata for example) and that he used R for a time and got some "ridiculous" results in his attempts to estimate some stuff. Moreover, he complained about he random number generator in R which he said was "messy".  I've been using R for just a little more than a month and I must say I have fallen in love with it. All this stuff I am hearing from my professor is just discouraging me.  So my question is: "Is R reliable for the field of economics?". How can I extract a page range / a part of a PDF? Do you have any idea how to extract a part of a PDF document and save it as PDF? On OS X it is absolutely trivial by using Preview. I tried PDF editor and other programs but to no avail. I would like a program where I select the part that I want and then save it as a PDF file with a simple command like CMD+N on OS X. I want the extracted part to be saved as PDF and not as JPEG, etc.
