I've just had a message today from Ubuntu 11.04 that I have only 100 MB left, so I cleaned up some files, and I got 200 MB. Then, after a couple of hours, suddenly I have only 26 MB?! I tried df, du via mount --bind, /forcefsck with reboot - nothing could should what the culprit is - finally I searched big files, realized /var/log/syslog is 100MB+ and /var/log/kern.log is 200MB+ - blanked them with sudo bash -c 'echo &gt; ...' and rebooted, and now I have some spare MB.  But now, I realize I have another problem with df:  $ df -h Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda5             9,7G  8,8G  385M  96% / none                  963M  696K  962M   1% /dev none                  969M   12K  969M   1% /dev/shm none                  969M  252K  969M   1% /var/run none                  969M     0  969M   0% /var/lock /dev/sda6             9,7G  8,1G  1,1G  89% /media/disk  $ df -h --block-size M Filesystem           1M-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda5                9845M     8960M      385M  96% / none                      963M        1M      962M   1% /dev none                      969M        1M      969M   1% /dev/shm none                      969M        1M      969M   1% /var/run none                      969M        0M      969M   0% /var/lock /dev/sda6                9845M     8235M     1110M  89% /media/disk   Note so for /, it says there are 9845M total; and Used 8960M - then remaining would be 9845-8960 = 885 M, however, here I have only 385M Available.  Also, for /media/disk, it says total 9845M, Used 8235M - then remaining would be 9845-8235 = 1610, however, here I have only 1110M Available.  In both cases, there is exactly 500 MB difference.  Where did this difference come from - and can I reclaim it?

On my Amazing 2GB EeePC Surf, I have no more space left!  This is quite normal, and it happens every now and then. Just delete a few large, unneeded files and everything should be good, right?  So I go and find a 2MB file in /tmp, and rm -rf it. Check free space again, and -- still nothing?!  I had to remove about 30MB of files before it registered some free space.  Now, my question is, what's up with this strange behaviour?
Blender worked fine before I installed a GPU to my PC. Is it the GPU? How can I fix this? I already reinstalled to the latest version. When I try to move a cube, the orange outline only moves but not the cube and I cant click it. Do resistances stack?

Deriving ordered statistics minimum cdf Assume ${{X}_{1}}$, ${{X}_{2}}$, ${{X}_{3}}$,...,${{X}_{n}}$  are i.i.d. samples from distribution with density f, and cdf F.  Let V=min( ${{X}_{1}}$, ${{X}_{2}}$, ${{X}_{3}}$,...,${{X}_{n}}$)  To find the minimum $${B}_{v}={\{V\ge{v}\}}=\{{X}_{1}\ge{v}\}\cap\{{X}_{2}\ge{v}\}\cap...\cap\{{X}_{n}\ge{v}\}$$  So, $$P(V\ge{v})=[1-F(v)]^{n}$$  The cdf is  $$F_{v}(V)=1-[1-F(v)]^{n}$$   The density is $${f}_{v}(V)=\frac{d}{dv}[1-F(v)]^{n}=nf(v)[1-F(v)]^{n-1}$$   To find the density, why did we use $[1-F(v)]^{n}$ instead of $1-[1-F(v)]^{n}$, shouldn't we used the cdf to derive the pdf?

My father explained to me how rockets work and he told me that Newton's Third Law of motion worked here. I asked him why it works and he didn't answer. I have wasted over a week thinking about this problem and now I am giving up. Can anyone explain why Newton's Third Law works?

I use a lot of garlic in my cooking, especially minced garlic.  But lately I've been doing some more recipes with crushed garlic and while I love the texture of cooked garlic, I can't see how it could be better than minced garlic for the overall taste.  Is there an advantage to crushed garlic over minced garlic, beyond texture? Using Inclusion/Exclusion to solve $x_1+x_2+x_3=15$ with $x_1,x_2\leq 5$ and $x_3\leq 7$ for non negative integers $x_1,x_2,x_3$ I want to solve for:     Number of integers solutions to the equation $x_1+x_2+x_3=15$ with $x_1,x_2\leq 5$ and $x_3\leq 7$ for non negative integers $x_1,x_2,x_3$   How can this be done using the principle of inclusion/exclusion? How can I move my /home directory to another partition if it's already part of the / partition? CSV parser with low memory footprint for iPhone How do you square an ideal? For some of you, this question is going to seem extremely basic.  I think I understand what an ideal is. Such as $\langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle$, it consists of all numbers in this ring of the form $2a + (1 + \sqrt{-5})b$.  But then what is $\langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle^2$? My first thought was $\langle 4, -4 + 2 \sqrt{-5} \rangle$, but that seems wrong somehow. I also had something in the back of my mind saying $\langle 2 \rangle$, but I'm not sure about that one either.  Then I thought about trying to figure out $\langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle \langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle$ when I realized I don't actually understand how to multiply ideals to begin with.  I'm only using $\langle 2, 1 + \sqrt{-5} \rangle$ as an example (though that does draw in one question identified as similar that looks much more relevant than all the questions identified as "Questions that may already have your answer"). In a principal ideal domain, would it be correct to think that $\langle a \rangle \langle b \rangle = \langle ab \rangle$?  Any help would be much appreciated. Seasonal Loan Amortization Exactly half of the elements of $\mathcal{P}(A)$ are odd-sized I have a 2-D probability distribution along the lines of this plot:  I know how to find the confidence interval for a 1-D probability distribution (by the definition of standard deviation or the 68-95-99 rule) but I don't know how to generalize that to 2-D to get a confidence region. I've been looking at Principle Component Analysis and covariance matrices, but most explanations or examples are for a 2D distribution of random vectors rather than a probability distribution so I'm not quite sure how to generalize it. How would I find the 1-$\sigma$/2-$\sigma$ regions for a 2D probability distribution? Edit: The question that was linked in the duplicate message refers to random vectors, whereas what I have is a probability distribution from data, with a continuous 2-D probability function as opposed to random vectors. As such, I cannot find the covariance matrix between two vectors because I DO NOT HAVE TWO VECTORS, and therefore cannot apply the process described in the linked question. If I were to analogize to 1-D, my issue is the difference between the standard deviation for a random distribution of samples, $\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{1}{N}\sum (x_{i}-\bar{x})^{2}}$, and the standard deviation for a probability distribution $\sigma=\sqrt{\sum (x_{i}-\bar{x})^{2}P(x_{i})}$. As far as I can tell, the method involving the covariance matrix is a generalization of the former. I need a generalization of the latter. If I'm wrong in my understanding, please let me know, but I don't think the other question gives me what I need. Well, this might be a really simple one. But still... What will be the soln. to --- \begin{aligned} \int\frac{1}{1+x^n} dx \end{aligned}  Is substituting \begin{aligned} 1+x^n \end{aligned} by tan z the correct step?  Thanks for the Help. Deseasonalizing count data I used stl() in R to decompose count data into trend, seasonal &amp; irregular components. The resulting trend values are not integers anymore. I have the following questions:   Is stl() an appropriate way to deseasonalize count data? Since the resulting trend is not interger valued anymore, can I use lm() to model the trend components? How to understand the combination formula? I'm reading an algorithm book. In which it mentioned:     Imagine (once again) you have n people lined up to see a movie, but   there are only k places left in  the theater. How many possible   subsets of size k could possibly get in? That’s exactly $C(n,k)$, of   course,  and the metaphor may do some work for us here. We already   know that we have $n!$ possible orderings of  the entire line. What if   we just count all these possibilities and let in the first $k$? The only   problem then is  that we’ve counted the subsets too many times. A   certain group of k friends could stand at the head of  the line in a   lot of the permutations; in fact, we could allow these friends to   stand in any of their $k!$  possible permutations, and the remainder of   the line could stand in any of their $(n–k)!$ possible  permutations   without affecting who’s getting in. Aaaand this gives us the answer!       $$C(n,k)= \frac{n!}{k!(n −k)!}$$      This formula just counts all possible permutations of the line (n!),   and divides by the number of  times we count each “winning subset,” as   explained.   I'm not quite understand why the reminder can in any $(n-k)!$ permutation, if he stands at the end of the queue, won't he let all these people in?  And why I should use $n!$ to divide by $k!(n-k)!$ ? Didn't see that consequence from the metaphor.  If you have better ideas to explain this formula, you can use them of course.
