I'm running OTA-13 on a Nexus 4. I have a Y OTG cable. When I plug power into the Y and then the Y into the phone, it shows power. Then, when I plug a USB thumbdrive into the USB, it doesn't mount nor show any activity in the syslog. I've read elsewhere that this should work. Is the problem with my particular cable, or the micro-USB connector on the phone, or ? What should I try? Thanks.
I would like to connect a USB Mouse, Keyboard or Storage Device to my Nexus 4. So far I know, for this USB OTG must be supported. Unfortunately I can not find any actual information about this.  Does anybody know whether USB OTG is supported by Ubuntu-Touch? If yes, does anybody know if it would work with a Nexus 4 device?
Prove that the product of four consecutive positive integers plus one is a perfect square I need to prove the following, but I am not able to do it. This is not homework, nor something related to research, but rather something that came up in preparation for an exam.     If $n = 1 + m$, where $m$ is the product of four consecutive positive   integers, prove that $n$ is a perfect square.   Now since $m = p(p+1)(p+2)(p+3)$;     $p = 0, n = 1$ - Perfect Square      $p = 1, n = 25$ - Perfect Square      $p = 2, n = 121$ - Perfect Square   Is there any way to prove the above without induction? My approach was to expand $m = p(p+1)(p+2)(p+3)$ into a 4th degree equation, and then try proving that $n = m + 1$ is a perfect square, but I wasn't able to do it. Any idea if it is possible? The title word filter is one of the worst ideas ever implemented on SO There are numerous (, , ) questions concerning this problem. I realize this is a borderline duplicate, but I'll re-iterate the futility of this particular filter and why it should be outright removed from Stack Overflow.  Do you know how effective this is in preventing users who just don't care from posting questions with bad titles? 100% ineffective. What do these users do?   Replace it with a synonym: "issue," "trouble," "predicament," "botheration" or what have you. Or worse, they simply work around the filter by deliberately misspelling the word or inserting space or punctuation:    () ?    and the coup de grâce:      I mean, even Jeff . This adds zero value to the title. In fact, it looks worse. Why, oh why are people  to scrap a bad feature? All this does is:   Prevent people who have a  to use the word "problem" in the title from posting questions with an appropriate title. Break the search feature because of workarounds or the need to use less descriptive titles than the error itself   This is an extraordinarily useless (and harmful) feature. Please, for the love of Cthulhu,  remove, eliminate, abolish, eradicate, extirpate this "feature" from Stack Overflow.    Bonus:     So I can't mention the Halting Problem in the title? – Keith Thompson Nov 1 at 19:05      @KeithThompson Maybe it's a "Halting Issue". Or "Need help with Halting". Or the "Halting thing in Computability Theory". – slhck Nov 1 at 19:14 While googling, I see that using  can be slow.  has a  method that is available as well.

How I can prove this inequality?  Any hint will help. Thanks I'm making a game where you see a spaceship (in 3rd person) travelling at high-speed between planets (it takes 2-3 seconds move between them).  What effect could I use to convey the effect of extreme speed? I already know about the usual effects, change in FOV, white lines around the subjects, etc..   I'm asking about some things that are more space-like, I mean even if it's not how it would be perceived in real physics, I need it to look like it's fast and it's in space.  Don't hesitate to ask for clarification, my English is nowhere near being perfect, maybe I didn't convey my thought perfectly. I want to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch.   I have read ( and ) that it is recommended to have 3 partitions for the desktop installation: root, home and swap as having a separate home and root can simplify the process if you want to upgrade or reinstall Ubuntu (if you break something by mistake).  But there is no type of formula (that I can find) on how big each partition should be. I know this is somewhat dependant on what you plan to install. I want to have flexibility down the line to install new software without having to worry about shifting the partition sizes around.  Does anyone know of a formula or percentage breakdown that they have used to successfully calculate partition sizes?  i.e. x% of space will be allocated to the swap, y% of space to the root partition and z% of space to the home partition An equivalence relation is defined by three properties: reflexivity, symmetry and transitivity.  Doesn't symmetry and transitivity implies reflexivity? Consider the following argument.  For any $a$ and $b$, $a R b$ implies $b R a$ by symmetry. Using transitivity, we have $a R a$.

When may adjectives precede determiners? (E.g. too difficult a task) The expression too difficult a task sounds a little pompous, but it doesn't sound ungrammatical. According to my folk-beliefs about English grammar, determiners precede adjectives. However, the expression too difficult a task seems to controvert that belief.  Additionally, the expression too difficult of a task seems grammatical too.    Under what conditions may determiners precede adjectives? Are there conditions under which too difficult of a task would be a more grammatical expression than too difficult a task would be?   (This question does not ask what the question “How big of a problem” vs. “how big a problem” asks. That question does not pertain to determiners.) Let $V$ be an n-dimensional vector space over $\mathbb{R}$ and $T:V \rightarrow V$ be linear. Call a vector $v \in V$ cyclic if $V$ is spanned by $\{v, \ Tv, \ T^2v,..\}$.  Question:  Show that $v$ is cyclic for $T$ then there is some $k \geq 1$ such that   $$B=\{v, \ Tv,..T^{k-1}v \}$$ is linearly independent in $V$ and that $T^kv$ lies in  the span of $B$.  Thoughts:  If we suppose that no such $k$ exists, then every subset of the form $\{v, \ Tv,..T^{l-1}v \}$ is linearly dependent, or it is linearly dependent with $T^lv$ not lying in it span.  There are in effect then two cases to consider.  Suppose every subset of the form $\{v, \ Tv,..T^{l-1}v \}$ is linearly dependent. Then $T^{l-1}$ can be expressed as a linear combination of $v,...,T^{l-2}v$. Now, $\{v, \ Tv,..T^{l-2}v \}$ is also linearly dependent by assumption and so we can express $T^{l-2}$ as a linear combination of  $v,...,T^{l-3}v$ etc... Continuing in this way, we show that $T^{l-1}v= \lambda v$ for some $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$. Thus $$B=\{ \mu v \ | \ \mu \ \text{is an eigenvalue of} \ T^mv \ \text{for some} \ m \}$$ This is 'at best' countably infinite, and therefore could not span $V$ even if it were 1-dimensional, wince our base field is $\mathbb{R}$, which is uncountable.  Suppose then that $B$ is linearly independent for some $k$ but that $T^kv$ does not lie in its span. I can't see how to progress this argument.  Note: This question is for second year Undergraduates, and I think there must be some more simple approach; even the first part surprises me if we need to argue using the uncountability of $\mathbb{R}$, so any alternative approaches are also appreciated.

Click for larger view  When I checked the wiring it registered 120V when the switch was on, and right around 50V when the switch was off.  Why would power still be getting to the light (I'm guessing there is a problem with the switch) and why would it only be 50V?

I'm using tikz to attempt to make a book cover, and I have a "wallpaper" image that looks like leather (not that I've handled that many leather-bound books). I'm using the node command to place text over the top of it, but none of the colors I've experimented with look decent.  Can I use an image of gold-leaf as the fill/stroke for the text? Or for that matter, for the path lines as well?  I've tried googling for this, but I can't figure out a set of keywords non-generic enough to pull back useful results.
