I am trying very hard to install Canon LBP2900b Printer in Ubuntu 13.10.  I have searched and googled a lot for the solution over fortnight but none of the site / link gave me the simple solution for me. How can accomplish my goal?
I seen many times how people describe how to's about LBP-2900, and 10-12 steps from start to end of how to download, unpack, build driver, fix driver, make it work... Could be there some .deb package with ready-to-go driver for Ubuntu? This printer is very popular...
diameter on a compact metric space I have troubles showing the following:  Let $(X,\rho)$ be a compact metric space and $F \subset X$ a closed subset. Prove that if diam $F &lt; \infty$, then there exist $x_{0}, y_{0} \in F$ such that diam $F= \rho(x_{0},y_{0})$.  It looks so trivial yet hard to find the trick. How can I specify a long list of math operators? The preambles of my LaTeX documents often include many many lines of \DeclareMathOperator instructions, e.g.  \DeclareMathOperator{\Rep}{Rep} \DeclareMathOperator{\Tet}{Tet} \DeclareMathOperator{\Maps}{Maps} \DeclareMathOperator{\Diff}{Diff}   Is there a nice way to map some macro over a list, so I could do this more concisely, and with less copying and pasting when I add a new math operator? why are the best questions the ones which have been closed? I frequently come across a really useful answer on StackOverflow which has been closed because it doesn't match the Q&amp;A format.  Examples include  ,  ,   ,  and there are others.  Where should this information be exchanged if it's not on stackoverflow?  It seems the moderators are often somewhat overzealous...  ---edit  When I say best, I mean they are informative and useful for someone who's looking for an answer to them.  Even if they do become a bit of a discussion, I value other people's opinions on the relative merits of the different JPA frameworks.  I come here looking to choose one and the answer helps me.  So what if it's not a definitive answer?  ---edit  I don't care how popular a question is, nor how interesting it is.  Users are interested in stuff that's useful to them.  Plenty of those were useful (as judged by the upvotes on the answers: 'This answer is useful'), but closed because they didn't have a definitive answer, as far as I can tell.  ---edit  Seems I'm not the first person to think this: there are various similar questions to mine like this one:   In it the user lists lots of other useful questions which have been closed:                    So isn't there a place on stackoverflow for these questions?  A discussion section, maybe? How to show  that $\mathbb{Z}[i]/I$ is a finite field whenever $I$ is a prime ideal? Is it possible to find the cardinality of $\mathbb{Z}[i]/I$ as well?  I know how to show that it is an integral domain, because that follows very quickly. How to change the name of an iOS app? I began an iPhone project the other day with a silly development code name, and now I want to change the name of the project since it's nearly finished.   But I'm not sure how to do this with Xcode, trying the obvious of changing the application's name in the info.plist file, causes the signing process to go wrong (I think...) and my app won't launch giving me a Launcher error.  I guess I could make a new project and copy paste everything over, but it seems so primitive that I'm hoping for a more civilized solution. Disable Tabbing in Firefox 3, Chrome 4 and IE8? Tabbed Browsing may be nice for reading news sites in one sitting, but I still think they are a usability nightmare if you need to keep the page open for a long time, e.g., for testing it while developing or as a reference for something.  The nice thing about the Windows Taskbar (before Windows 7 ) is that it's easy and natural to remember where things are. I can have 30 tabs in it, but because I know what each one is, I know where I have to click to open something - it's the most efficient way of working I've encountered so far.  Sadly, Tabbed Browsing completely breaks this efficiency because it is not possible to specifically click on a tab in the taskbar, I have to click on the browser, search the tab and then click it, which means at least 2 clicks.  Long story, short question: Is there an extension or setting to completely disable tabbing on Firefox 3, Chrome 4 and Internet Explorer 8 and have one Window/Taskbar entry for each open page? I know that in Chrome I can just drag a tab out of a Window to create a new one, but if there is a general way, that would be easier.  Edit: IE8 conveniently offers an option for that: Tools - Options - Tabs - Enable Tabbed Browsing. series of young adult science fiction books from early 1980s about last of a race of martial experts that sees the destruction of his home planet How did "When" become the customary answer to "say when"? When a waiter at a restaurant comes by with pepper or Parmesan cheese, he says, "say when" and starts putting it on your food.  Many people will say "OK" or "that's enough," but it seems that the customary answer is "when".  How did this become the customary answer?  Did everyone decide to make the exact same joke, until it became commonplace.  I thought it was funny when I was a kid, but even now as an adult, I still say it.  For evidence that this is indeed commonplace, see .  The answer "when" is used and is external to the joke of the strip. But even so, I'm curious as to just how commonplace this really is.  I see it a lot in the US.  Is it used elsewhere in the world?  (by the way, I'm new to asking questions on this site, and I have no idea what tags to put on this question) 'Should've seen it glow' or 'should've seen it glowing'? Which one of the following is the correct one?   I should have seen it glow. I should have seen it glowing.   Or are both correct? Would you parse them please? Is the expression      All women who are mothers of daughters are here.   correct? I mean every woman who has at least one daughter is here.

Blender 2.75 Windows 10 The most efficient method to obtain the total entries into a mysql table Let $f(z)$ be entire function. Show that if $f(z)$ is real when $|z| = 1$, then $f(z)$ must be a constant function using Maximum Modulus theorem Let $f(z)$ be entire function. Consider the functions $e^{if(z)}$ and $e^{−if(z)}$ and applying the Maximum Modulus Theorem, show that if $f(z)$ is real when $|z| = 1$, then $f(z)$ must be a constant function.  (We take $f(z)=u(z)+iv(z)$)  I am confused as so far I have $|g(z)|=|e^{if(z)}|=|e^{-v(z)}|$ and then since $f(z)$ is real, $f(z)=u(z)$ and $v(z)=0$ so I assumed it would follow that $|g(z)|=|e^{v(z)}|=1$.  Similarly, $|g(z)|=|e^{-if(z)}|=|e^{v(z)}|=1$.  Using Liouville I assumed one could say that both $g(z)$ and $h(z)$ are bounded entire functions, they are constant and so it follows that $v(z)$ is constant, meaning that both its partial derivatives are equal to 0 and, due to Cauchy Riemann, both of the partial derivatives of $u(z)$ are equal to zero.  It would then follow that $f(z)$ is constant.  I don't know how to go about the question using the Maximum Modulus Theorem, also I feel I am overlooking the importance of $|z|=1$ perhaps?

Here are my settings:  [ How to evaluate this infinite sum?  $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{2^n-1}$$ I have an iPhone with 100+ notes that I've collected over the last ten years (thanks to migrating from my PalmPilot). I realize that I can now synchronise these with Gmail, but that doesn't allow me to edit them from my computer. I'd rather switch to use a new app/website combo which allows for online editing of notes, automatic OTA syncing, etc.  It seems like Simplenote and Evernote are two of the better app/sites, as mentioned at  and from this , I think Simplenote is exactly what I'm looking for. The problem is, I can't figure out how to migrate all of my existing notes into whatever new notes app I choose.  How do I migrate my existing Apple iOS Notes into Simplenote or Evernote?  The best workaround I've found so far is to open each note, select all, copy, and create a new note in the iOS app but I'd rather not spend the time and hassle doing this for ~100 notes. First order differential equations with 2 varriables Does anybody know how to solve the following differntial equation?  $$w^2\cdot r+\frac{dw}{dt}\cdot r+\frac{dr}{dt}\cdot w=3g$$  where w and r are a function of time so $w(t)$ and $r(t)$. $g$ is a constant  EDIT: This equation came from a thought problem of mine which I will now explain since I still do not know how to approach the problem.  Basically I want to design a spiral track in which a vehicle will accelerate. However the total acceleration needs to be constant.   The vehicle will have 2 acceleration components, a radial component ($a_r$) and a change in speed component ($a_s$). Since we want constant acceleration: $a_r + a_s = constant$  From circular motion we know that $a_r = \omega ^2 r$ where $r$ is the radius, and $\omega$    Further we know that $v=\omega*r$, therefore: $a_s=\frac{d}{dt}(\omega r)$  For constant acceleration $a_{total} = a_r + a_s = \omega ^2 r + \frac{d}{dt}(\omega r) =constant$  Further usefull information: Length of the track covered at a certain time $l=v*t=\omega r t$  With all this the radius will be a function of time, $r(t)$ and the angular velocity will be a function of time, $\omega (t)$  Boundary conditions: $r(0)  = 0$ $\omega (0) = 0$  Now I would like to find a possible set of solutions to create a track by implementing end boundary conditions that i choose e.g. $v(t_{end})=100 [m/s]$ and $l(t_{end})=5000 [m]$  Here is a diagram for clarity: Singular or plural following a list Can anyone tell me if I should use inspire or inspires in this phrase?

In general what is the approach to switch the desktop environment or window manager on Ubuntu? The main difference between stock Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Lubuntu is supposedly the use of Unity vs. KDE vs. LXDE.  However, in order to try various desktop environments and window managers I don't want to have to reinstall the respective flavor from scratch just to get a particular desktop environments or window manager. There probably is an easier method than that.  The question: How can I easily test different desktop environments and respective compatible window managers (say KDE, LXDE, Unity, GNOME, XFCE and StumpWM)? How do I fix Outlook only showing the first line of every message? I'm experiencing a strange problem with Outlook 2019. When viewing a message it only shows the first line. On an HTML message, it stops at the first close paragraph tag. On a plaintext message, it stops at the first newline character. This is true if viewing a message in the reading pane as well as if double-clicking the message to open in its own window. I have the preview pane set to show 3 lines and it does show more of the message so it seems like Outlook can see more of the message than it's rendering in the reading pane. If I use View Source, the underlying data seems fine and the whole message is there. I've tried the following:  Deleting and re-creating the user's mail profile Uninstalling &amp; re-installing Office Creating a new Windows account &amp; connecting Outlook to a different Exchange account than the one that originally exhibited the problem Checked for Windows updates Checked for Office updates  Any ideas what might be causing this? I feel like I've tried everything obvious &amp; I'm striking out on Google.
