I've just upgraded my computer hardware(cpu + motherboard + graphic card + memory + hard disk), so that install a new OS is needed. I tried to download debian-6.0.6-amd64-netinst.iso with wget command but the speed is so slow that I could not bear. 4Kb/s ~ 17 Kb/s, slow like a running turtle, or even more slower if I use Chrome.  I've read the help information of wget, it seems like there are no options could make it more faster.  Is there anyway to make wget faster? Or is it possible to make it multi-threading download?  PS: my bandwidth is 4M. I use this command:  wget -c url  http://hammurabi.acc.umu.se/debian-cd/6.0.6/amd64/iso-cd/debian-6.0.6-amd64-netinst.iso
How does Windows know whether it has internet access or if a Wi-Fi connection requires in-browser authentication? In Windows 7, the notification area networking icon will show an error indicator if there is no internet access , and the error icon goes away once there is a successful connection to the internet . Sometimes, if the WiFi connection requires an in-browser authentication step, like on many guest networks in hotels or universities, then the following pop-up bubble appears, saying as much:    How does Windows know whether or not it has a successful internet connection? Presumably it is checking some online Microsoft service to see whether it has a successful connection, gets redirected to some other page, or doesn't get any response at all, but I haven't seen anywhere that this process or the services used are documented. Can anybody explain how this works? I would prefer answers that refer to facts, rather than just guessing, but if you have a really good guess, then go for it.     This question was a .   Read the May 16th, 2011  for more details or  Question of the Week. What are the C++ rules for calling the base class constructor from a derived class? For example, I know in Java, you must do it as the first line of the subclass constructor (and if you don't, an implicit call to a no-arg super constructor is assumed - giving you a compile error if that's missing). Is there any Windows installer (wubi) for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS?  When I mount the .iso file with Daemon Tools and run wubi.exe, it just asks me if I want to reboot (I think that's useful only when the .iso  is burned on CD), so is there no "real" installation? example of a non differentiable manifold Take the manifold: The graph of $|x|$ on $(-1,1)$, with the induced topology from $\mathbb{R}^2$. This is a topological manifold, which is homeomorphic to $(-1,1)$ by projection. Is it a differentiable manifold? I believe it is, because we can take an atlas with only the projection, and then we will have only one transition map which is the identity, and therefore differentiable. But I'm not sure I get the definition of a differentiable manifold right...  Thanks! Can I run Ubuntu OS on a Android 4.0 tablet? Don't impose delay loading Close dialog when you haven't just loaded it Why does the right leg's bone in my rig move when I move the left? For some reason, when I moved the left leg's bone, the right leg has also moved and the bone of the right leg doesn't control anything at all.  I think this is because I used Mirror to make the model, but I'm not sure I'm a complete beginner. Order of "not" with infinitive What do you do when the bus bike rack is full? Sometimes I take commute via bike, other times on the bus, but I rarely plan on doing both because I worry about the possibility of waiting for a bus only to find that its bike rack is full and having to wait for the next bus, which may also have a full bike rack.  What do you do in this case? I asked a bus driver today on the way home and I couldn't really understand what he was saying, but he said something about a bike rack in the back and I think he was saying that were he not driving the rapid bus and were his schedule different, he would put any extra bikes in the back. Not sure though, he could have said something completely different. I'm trying to install  on my Ubuntu box (11.04).

Symmetrical twin paradox in a closed universe Take the following gedankenexperiment in which two astronauts meet each other again and again in a perfectly symmetrical setting - a hyperspherical (3-manifold) universe in which the 3 dimensions are curved into the 4. dimension so that they can travel without acceleration in straight opposite directions and yet meet each other time after time.  On the one hand this situation is perfectly symmetrical - even in terms of homotopy and winding number. On the other hand the Lorentz invariance should break down according to , so that one frame is preferred - but which one?  So the question is: Who will be older? And why?  And even if there is one prefered inertial frame - the frame of the other astronaut should be identical with respect to all relevant parameters so that both get older at the same rate. Which again seems to be a violation of SRT in which the other twin seems to be getting older faster/slower...  How should one find out what the preferred frame is when everything is symmetrical - even in terms of GRT?  And if we are back to a situation with a preferred frame: what is the difference to the classical Galilean transform? Don't we get all the problems back that seemed to be solved by RT - e.g. the speed limit of light, because if there was a preferred frame you should be allowed to classically add velocities and therefore also get speeds bigger than c ?!? (I know  is only a local theory but I don't understand why the global preferred frame should not 'override' the local one).  Could anyone please enlighten me (please in a not too technical way because otherwise I wouldn't understand!)  EDIT Because there are still things that are unclear to me I posted a follow-up question: How does atan2 work when getting angle of a vector? I know that atan2 gives me the absolute angle of any vector. But it doesn't give a value from 0 to 360 degrees. Instead, it gives a value (if I'm not mistaken), between 0 and 180, or between 0 and -180. For example, instead of giving angle 270, it will say -90.  This is a little confusing for me. Let me try to describe how I think this works, and please tell me if I'm correct. Actually, I'll draw it.    Is this correct? I'm having a little trouble understanding this. Thanks I have to format my entire disk and reinstall Ubuntu.  I have installed a lot of software on my current system. And I will have to reinstall all those updates, drivers and applications too.  Is there any way I can make an .iso image of my installed Ubuntu along with all the software, preferences, drivers etc in it ?  Is there any way I can back up my whole OS along with all its software, drives, updates and all ? Let $u$ be an integer of the form $4n+3$, where $n$ is a positive integer. Can we find integers $a$ and $b$ such that $u = a^2 + b^2$? If not, how to establish this for a fact? Can space expand with unlimited speed? just after the Big Bang and before inflation the currently observable universe was the size of a coin. One millionth of a second later the universe was the size of the Solar System, which is an expansion much much faster than speed of light. Can space expand with unlimited speed? I'm trying to identify a song by a female 80's pop group.

Not every boolean function is constructed from $\wedge$ (and) and $\vee$ (or) Why is uniq ignoring Unicode and lines with a single letter? I'm trying to combine both the American and British dictionaries into one large dictionaries, and I'm trying to remove all the duplicates from the superset, but it seems that uniq is not outputting words like, "épée" or single letters.  This is what I've tried using:  LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 cat american-english british-english |sort|uniq -u &gt; unique_sorted_combined_dict   If I just do this:  LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8 cat american-english british-english |sort &gt; sorted_combined_dict   "épée" and other such words do show up, along with single letters.  Is there something I'm missing here with uniq?  I should note that I'm using uniq from the GNU coreutils on Ubuntu 12.10, if that makes any difference.
