How to install flash payer in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ? Also how to get the root permission ?...
I have had significant problems with watching flash video in 64-bit Ubuntu.  Does anyone know of a good way to get flash running on the platform?
Can we modify "Ask question" to automatically suggests tags based on your question content.   So instead that user needs to type "team-foundation-server" or "TFS" or "TeamFoundationServer" he will see list of tags auto-populated with ajax which he (or she) can then select and it will be associated with the question. So basically only thing we need is code which will cross-match question content with list of known tags while user is typing and display results in some nice ajax-enabled list/cloud/whatever UI control. This should be separate control for tags suggestions so user still has option to use standard tag list input to type-in tags.  In this case, instead of three (or more) tag variations we would have only one tag for Team-Foundation-Server. How to remove app which is greyed out, can't be deleted, won't open and doesn't appear in apps list? I have this app with a greyed out icon which I'm trying to delete.    I tap and hold, and it asks me if I want to delete it and its data. I confirm and nothing happens.  I try to open it and nothing happens.  I go to Settings>General>Usage and it's not in the list.  I reboot the device and it's still here.  Is there another way to force deletion of this (ghost) app? Cooking steak in frying pan, problem with oil splatter I was using canola oil and put the stove top setting on "high - 9". I read plenty of guides suggesting there will infact be oil splatter, but it was pretty excessive and burning my arm with one drop getting near my eye before I stopped. I turned the heat setting down to "medium - 4", where the oil splatter seemed to drop substantially. Before I try to make steak again I'd like to get some clarification  So my questions are:   Which heat setting am I supposed to use? Is that type of oil splatter normal or should I try using a different oil, and if so, what oil? Should oiling the meat instead of the pan help the problem? How do I call a .NET assembly from C/C++? Suppose I am writing an application in C++ and C#.  I want to write the low level parts in C++ and write the high level logic in C#.  How can I load a .NET assembly from my C++ program and start calling methods and accessing the properties of my C# classes? I used to have an icon on the Windows Vista taskbar showing the battery amount remaining (laptop). It has mysteriously vanished.  How can I get it back?  I followed the Windows  (see How can I hide the battery icon in the notification area? - hoping to reverse the instructions) but the Power checkbox on the Notification Area tab was greyed out and could not be checked or unchecked (it is currently unchecked). Can I store the .git folder outside the files I want tracked? I have an unusual idea to use git as a backup system. So let's say I have a directory ./backup/myfiles and I want to back that up using git. To keep things clean I don't want to have a .git directory in the myfiles folder, so I thought I could create ./backup/git_repos/myfiles. From looking at the git docs, I've tried doing this:  $ cd backup/myfiles $ mkdir ../git_repos/myfiles $ git --git-dir=../git_repos/myfiles init Initialized empty Git repository in backup/git_repos/myfiles/ $ git --git-dir="../git_repos/myfiles/" add foo fatal: pathspec 'foo' did not match any files   You can see the error message I get there. What am I doing wrong? Starters on Stack Overflow tend to lose interest as soon as their first question starts getting downvotes. Their first question also sometimes gets closed because it was either not framed properly or it missed some very common things.  There should be way to cope with this for instance give some starter bonuses to new users. Where can I see my full list of Questions and Answers in my profile page of Stack Exchange Android App?

Is there a common way to output the final value of some counter in the middle of the document?  Edited after answering: I have asked a more specific question before, "How to output the number of bibliographic entries referenced in the document?", which is now deleted because the answer to this one covers also this case.

I just finished backing up my system and when I try to upgrade to Utopic Unicorn, I get the error "Cannot Calculate the upgrades." I ran the upgrade by sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, sudo do-release-upgrade after the GUI method failed, they all gave the same error.  The feedback gives some recommendations:  This can be caused by:  * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu  * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu  * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu    I am not upgrading to a pre-release version nor coming from one, I'm going from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to 14.10. I have no broken packages and I have unchecked all my non-official software sources in the 'Software &amp; Updates' manager.  My guess left is the Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu. If anyone could give any help as to how to check for unofficial packages using Synaptic or another, my appreciation.  Are there any other factors that may be causing this error and how would I go about checking/fixing those?  Thanks.  Edit: I have no broken or held packages. Everything is up-to-date, and restarting everything or anything has no effect. I am running an analysis on the probability of loan default using logistic regression and random forests.    When I use logistic regression, the prediction is always all '1' (which means good loan).  I have never seen this before, and do not know where to start in terms of trying to sort out the issue.  There are 22 columns with 600K rows.  When I decrease the # of columns I get the same result with logistic regression.   Why could the logistic regression be so wrong?  **Actual from the data**  0 :   41932  1 :   573426  **Logistic regression output**   prediction for 1 when actually 0: 41932 prediction for 1 when actually 1:573426  A**s you can see, it always predicts a 1**   **Random forests does better:**  actual 0, pred 0 : 38800  actual 1, pred 0 : 27  actual 0, pred 1 : 3132 actual 1, pred 1 : 573399 How could I go about detecting (returning true/false) whether an ArrayList contains more than one of the same element in Java?  Many thanks, Terry  Edit Forgot to mention that I am not looking to compare "Blocks" with each other but their integer values. Each "block" has an int and this is what makes them different. I find the int of a particular Block by calling a method named "getNum" (e.g. table1[0][2].getNum(); Why is a nonstop flight sometimes more expensive than multiple connections? Usually I find a flight I like that uses one or more connections with the same or different companies. In these cases, if the distance between the first and the second connection is not too large, I prefer to go by bus or train and then take the flight. The problem is that sometimes it is more expensive to take the flight in the second airport than to take the flight from the first one. I mean, I'm wondering why sometimes it is more expensive to take only a flight than to take the same flight and another one.  A practical example (and real, you can check with SkyScanner). Imagine I am in Madrid (Spain) and would like to go to Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) on April 1st. The cheapest flight I have found is this:     TAM airlines: MAD -> GRU -> GIG : 507 €   Fantastic! GRU is one of São Paulo's airports. That's perfect for me! I'll go on to Rio traveling overland. But then, I look for this flight (MAD -> GRU, non-stop):     TAM airlines: MAD -> GRU : 597 €   It's the same flight, 90 € more expensive! I've found this kind of behavior a lot of times and I'm intrigued to know why it happens. This is an attempt to write a canonical QA for this issue, as per the Meta post:   I expect it to be periodically edited with the goal of becoming a comprehensive information resource.  I have a MacBook Pro that has a key(Shift, Return,   Command, P, etc.) that doesn’t respond when pressed or is stuck in the down position.    It's possible that my favorite beverage was spilled (or some other liquid damage).  It's also possible that I have no idea what happened.  It was working yesterday and suddenly today it's no longer working.  Is there any way to bypass or remap the key?  Can I  have the system ignore it completely?  (This question can also apply to external USB keyboards or the Bluetooth keyboards) Why is the field inside a conducting shell zero when only external charges are present?
