I got a Dell Latitude D620 from work on condition it had to be DBAN DOD wiped prior to removal. It is a DuoCore 1.6GHz 1GB RAM machine which sounded like LUBUNTU would be good fit... All of it worked including wireless on MS XP SP3.   So I installed LUBUNTU today and am working on on wired connection but wireless does not show up... Tried iwconfig in terminal, which I would copy and paste here but copy{CTRL+C} in Xterm just results in ^C, however it shows lo which looks like a loopback and eth0 which is my wired... No Wireless...  In System Information:  Operating System reports Kernel "Linux 3.13.0-37generic (i686)"  Operating System reports Distribution "Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS"  In Kernel Modules I see a wl but its blank however several 802.11 modules show up...  In the PCI devices I see "Network Controller Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11a/b/g (rev01)"... That all said the LED is off and the hardware switch is on. On WinXP the blue light was on when the switch was on... Here in PCI Devices it knows its Dell and seems to have Broadcom driver...  Is there something like Device manager in windows? Or is System Information as close to that as there is?  I see a couple other Questions requarding this specific model and none seem to have a solution... Concerns me starting into UBUNTU... Hopefully there is a solution. Thanks,
I'm having serious problems installing the Broadcom drivers for Ubuntu. It worked perfectly on my previous version, but now, it is impossible.   What are the steps to install Broadcom wireless drivers for a BCM43xx card?  I'm a user with no advance knowledge in Linux, so I would need clear explanations on how to make, compile, etc.    lspci -vnn | grep Network showed:   Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:432b]      iwconfig showed:  lo        no wireless extensions. eth0      no wireless extensions.   NOTE: Answer below is updated every time new information is added and confirmed working.
How can I install Skype on 32-bit Ubuntu 14.04? Is there a way to install fonts on wine?   I'm looking to install fonts so i can use them to render text differently on various apps. Specifically myriad. What's the past participle form of the word exit? Is it exit (irregular, like set)? exited? exitted? On one page I found exited but if that's the case why isn't it exitted (double t) like with the word emit - emitted? Is there a rule when the consonant at the end is doubled and when not? SyntaxError: invalid syntax // SyntaxError: unexpected EOF while parsing How do I detect text inside of this, this is HTML &amp; this is XPath. I tried  HTML     &lt;span class="messageText"&gt;Hello.&lt;/span&gt; XPath     //*[@id="liveAgentChatLogText"]/span[22]/span[2]   I tried with this but it didn't work, it said no such element found.  driver.find_element(By.XPATH, '//*[@id="liveAgentChatLogText"]//*[contains(string(.), "Hello")]') Have you ever notice the sunset's image in the sea? It's like long light path to the end of the horizon! I've attached a sample of this:     How can we explain this? I know that it can happen even in wave less sea or lake! Why is this path so continuous? I expected that sea should act like a mirror! Often assignments (or even papers) have a word count limit. That is not a big deal when using Word, but I don't know how to do that using LaTeX. My solution has been so far to compile the document and then do a rough word count of my pdf file, sometimes even copying the contents of the pdf file and pasting in Word to get a mostly correct Word count.  Is there any tool (maybe even an online tool), package, script or software to do that directly from my .tex document and still get the right word count (i.e., ignore commands, equations, etc)? Should 'Hi', 'thanks', taglines, and salutations be removed from posts? How do I change the MAC address of my network card? I have a local network in a Windows system where the Admin gives permission to the PCs by their MAC address. But he is on vacations and I have a new PC.  How can I change the MAC address of my new PC to have the same MAC address as the old one?  I know this can be used for spoofing the address, but this is local, so I don't think I will have a problem. Floor function properties: $[2x] = [x] + [ x + \frac12 ]$ and $[nx] = \sum_{k = 0}^{n - 1} [ x + \frac{k}{n} ] $ I'm doing some exercises on Apostol's calculus, on the floor function. Now, he doesn't give an explicit definition of $[x]$, so I'm going with this one:     DEFINITION Given  $x\in \Bbb R$, the integer part of $x$ is the unique $z\in \Bbb Z$ such that $$z\leq x &lt; z+1$$ and we denote it by $[x]$.   Now he asks to prove some basic things about it, such as: if $n\in \Bbb Z$, then $[x+n]=[x]+n$  So I proved it like this: Let $z=[x+n]$ and $z'=[x]$. Then we have that  $$z\leq x+n&lt;z+1$$  $$z'\leq x&lt;z'+1$$  Then $$z'+n\leq x+n&lt;z'+n+1$$  But since $z'$ is an integer, so is $z'+n$. Since $z$ is unique, it must be that $z'+n=z$.  However, this doesn't seem to get me anywhere to prove that  $$\left[ {2x} \right] = \left[ x \right] + \left[ {x + \frac{1}{2}} \right]$$  in and in general that   $$\left[ {nx} \right] = \sum\limits_{k = 0}^{n - 1} {\left[ {x + \frac{k}{n}} \right]} $$  Obviously one could do an informal proof thinking about "the carries", but that's not the idea, let alone how tedious it would be. Maybe there is some easier or clearer characterization of $[x]$ in terms of $x$ to work this out.  Another property is $$[-x]=\begin{cases}-[x]\text{ ; if }x\in \Bbb Z \cr-[x]-1 \text{ ; otherwise}\end{cases}$$  I argue: if $x\in\Bbb Z$, it is clear $[x]=x$. Then $-[x]=-x$, and $-[x]\in \Bbb Z$ so $[-[x]]=-[x]=[-x]$. For the other, I guess one could say:  $$n \leqslant x &lt; n + 1 \Rightarrow  - n - 1 &lt; x \leqslant -n$$  and since $x$ is not an integer, this should be the same as $$ - n - 1 \leqslant -x &lt; -n$$  $$ - n - 1 \leqslant -x &lt; (-n-1)+1$$  So $[-x]=-[x]-1$ Best practice: card expiry date on checkout Merge pdfs sequentially I would like to merge 4 pdfs, pdf1.pdf, pdf2.pdf, pdf3.pdf pdf4.pdf together so that the pdfs are spliced, i.e. the first page will be the first page of pdf1, the second the first of pdf2, the third the first of pdf3, etc.  The pdf files are with plain images, no table of contents.  How would I accomplish this? It would be nice to do it from Terminal as well. Compare 1st column of the 1st file and 2nd column of the 2nd file and matching I see you have succussfully answered this question previously but it is not specific to my system.  I have downloaded your file and created the relevant dump file but I don't know how to analyse it. Can I upload it to you for some advice please? StandardSetController with History records I would have expected the correlation coefficient to be the same as a regression slope (beta), however having just compared the two, they are different. How do they differ - what different information do they give? "Not a COM32R image" error when trying to install from a USB key Not a COM32R image boot   is a message that the console infinitely keeps spitting out when I try to install Ubuntu 10.04 from a USB. I created the USB using the StartupDiskCreator in 11.04.  What is the reason for this behavior? What do I do to set it right?   I have followed the steps perfectly, as enlisted in the . I am trying to make a custom food recipe. I'm using spawn eggs with /replaceitem because spawn eggs are not obtainable in survival. This works fine when the player crafts only one spawn egg, but when I scroll over multiple spawn eggs, I receive only 1 of the custom food. BTW this food uses custommodeldata, so I can't simply add it into the crafting recipe. I cannot seem to find a way around this. If I make the item non-stackable, such as a piece of armor, mass crafting would be impossible. If I make an item.dropped scoreboard, the player could keep the item and use it to spawn mobs (griefing or for own profit.)  My command:    execute as @a[nbt={SelectedItem:{id:"minecraft:villager_spawn_egg"}}] run replaceitem entity @s weapon  minecraft:melon_slice{CustomModelData:10000101,display:{ Name:"{\"text\":\"Blue Melon Slice\",\"italic\":\"false\"}"}}     My problem is that the command does not see item count, as it is often used for weapons and armor only.    One way I thought to fix this issue is by storing the amount of custom food crafted in a scoreboard item and then giving the player that same count of the custom food, but I do not know how to do this; consequently, I don't know if this works.    Is there a way to do this method, or is there another, simpler method possible? Generic Parse Method without Boxing I am trying to write a generic Parse method that converts and returns a strongly typed value from a NamedValueCollection.  I tried two methods but both of these methods are going through boxing and unboxing to get the value.  Does anyone know a way to avoid the boxing?  If you saw this in production would you not like it, how bad is it for performance?  Usuage:  var id = Request.QueryString.Parse&lt;int&gt;("id");   Attempt #1:  public static T Parse&lt;T&gt;(this NameValueCollection col, string key) {     string value = col[key];      if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))         return default(T);      if (typeof(T) == typeof(int))     {         //return int.Parse(value); // cannot convert int to T         //return (T)int.Parse(value); // cannot convert int to T         return (T)(object)int.Parse(value); // works but boxes     }     if (typeof(T) == typeof(long))     {         return (T)(object)long.Parse(value); // works but boxes     }     ...      return default(T); }   Attempt #2 (using reflection):  public static T Parse&lt;T&gt;(this NameValueCollection col, string key) {     string value = col[key];      if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))         return default(T);      try     {         var parseMethod = typeof(T).GetMethod("Parse", new Type[] { typeof(string) });          if (parseMethod == null)             return default(T);          // still boxing because invoke returns an object         var parsedVal = parseMethod.Invoke(null, new object[] { value });         return (T)parsedVal;     }     // No Proper Parse Method found     catch(AmbiguousMatchException)      {     }      return default(T); } How do I pass a variable by reference? I have 50 servers. I manage them from a central management server on SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition. I don't use repository.  I could open a query and get result for each one at the same time. But I want to do it in an automated way, like a job, to collect data from each server and store/handle it locally.  Is this possible and if so, how?
