I bought a used Windows computer which was reset to stock with the default Administrator user named "John Doe".  I have changed my "username" to what I want but the user's account folder still retains the name "John Doe".  I've researched this and found a number of registry changes (which I'm not comfortable doing).  I've read I can create another user, move all the contents to the new one, and delete the old account...but then will my applications continue looking for the old account's folder?  Please help.  I'm simply trying to change the name of the root user folder to my name in lieu of "John Doe".  Thanks!
During Windows installation I accidentally typed an accented name for my user name and my profile name is named after it. I already renamed my user to not have an accented character, but the profile folder is an other topic.  Basically I want this because I have some applications what have a problem with the accented character.  Is there a way to rename it? I know I have to make a copy from my profile, but how can I perform a relocation itself? I wouldn't like touch any other profiles on the machine just mine.
Inverse images of images, images of inverse images of a set of vectors What can be said about$\ f^{-1}(f(S))$ and$\ S$, where$\ f(S):=\{f(x):x \in S\}$?   I feel as if$\ f^{-1}(f(S))$ will be smaller than or equal in size (number of elements) to$\ S$.  For example, if$\ f(x)=x$, then$\ f(\{-1, 0, 1, 2\})=\{-1, 0, 1, 2\}$and$\ f^{-1}(f\{-1, 0, 1, 2\})=\{-1, 0, 1, 2\}$ (same size).  But if$\ f(x)=x^2$, then$\ f(\{-1, 0, 1, 2\})=\{0, 1, 4\}$ and$\ f^{-1}(f\{0, 1, 4\})=\{0, 1, 2\}$, which is a little bit smaller than$\ S$.   What can be said about$\ f(f^{-1}(U))$ and$\ U$, where$\ f^{-1}(U):=\{x \in X:f(x) \in U\}$?   The same size as each other? Always?? What Application Indicators are available?

I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on one of my systems and I am using the Unity interface. Unity is working quite well so far but I really miss panel applets for net speed, cpu temp, and system monitor.   These applets are useful for viewing quick info. Unlike 10.10, there is no other way to get this info onto the panel or unity launcher. There are solutions like screenlets and conky but they don't feel appropriate for a clean desktop look.  If you know one then please list out any third party indicators with links so that they can be found. Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined? Since multiple inheritance is bad (it makes the source more complicated) C# does not provide such a pattern directly. But sometimes it would be helpful to have this ability. For instance I'm able to implement the missing multiple inheritance pattern using interfaces and three classes like that: public interface IFirst { void FirstMethod(); } public interface ISecond { void SecondMethod(); }  public class First:IFirst  {      public void FirstMethod() { Console.WriteLine(&quot;First&quot;); }  }  public class Second:ISecond  {      public void SecondMethod() { Console.WriteLine(&quot;Second&quot;); }  }  public class FirstAndSecond: IFirst, ISecond {     First first = new First();     Second second = new Second();     public void FirstMethod() { first.FirstMethod(); }     public void SecondMethod() { second.SecondMethod(); } }  Every time I add a method to one of the interfaces I need to change the class FirstAndSecond as well. Is there a way to inject multiple existing classes into one new class like it is possible in C++? Maybe there is a solution using some kind of code generation? Or it may look like this (imaginary c# syntax): public class FirstAndSecond: IFirst from First, ISecond from Second { }  So that there won't be a need to update the class FirstAndSecond when I modify one of the interfaces.  EDIT Maybe it would be better to consider a practical example: You have an existing class (e.g. a text based TCP client based on ITextTcpClient) which you do already use at different locations inside your project.  Now you feel the need to create a component of your class to be easy accessible for windows forms developers. As far as I know you currently have two ways to do this:  Write a new class that is inherited from components and implements the interface of the TextTcpClient class using an instance of the class itself as shown with FirstAndSecond.  Write a new class that inherits from TextTcpClient and somehow implements IComponent (haven't actually tried this yet).   In both cases you need to do work per method and not per class. Since you know that we will need all the methods of TextTcpClient and Component it would be the easiest solution to just combine those two into one class. To avoid conflicts this may be done by code generation where the result could be altered afterwards but typing this by hand is a pure pain in the ass. Prove that $\sum^{n}_{r=0}(-1)^r\cdot \large\frac{\binom{n}{r}}{\binom{r+3}{r}} = \frac{3!}{2(n+3)}$ Catch Regex too complicated when splitting a string in salesforce If every compact set is closed, then is the space Hausdorff? I am getting an 'access is denied' error when I attempt to delete a folder that is not empty. I used the following command in my attempt: os.remove("/folder_name").

Generators and relations for $\text{PSL}(2, \mathbb{F}_q)$ Is there a nice presentation for the group $\text{PSL}(2,\mathbb{F}_q)$, for every prime $q$?

Cannot Add, Remove, Move, or Drag icons from Dock I'm using OS X Yosemite (10.10.2) and recently I have been unable to drag or move any items on the dock. Right clicking them gives no option for "remove from dock", and the icons cannot be rearranged. New icons cannot be added, old icons cannot be deleted.  I have tried restarting, and resetting dock preferences to default, and killall Dock, as suggested by earlier askers. None of it works.  I heard about problems with PushBullet - but I do not have PushBullet. Just in case, I deleted a lot of random applications. Still nothing works.  I've tried various commands from lots of answerers on other questions. I've consulted the Mac Help pages. Nothing.  Does anyone know how I can resolve this? After resetting my Dock in an attempt to fix it, it is now filled with the default icons too. This is really limiting my productivity. Print box drawing characters with pdfLaTeX I need to print some unicode characters (of box drawing family) in my document. I found this  that is very similar to mine but is valid only for XeLaTeX. There is a valid way to do this with pdfLaTeX or I have to use XeLaTeX instead? Why doesn't the command "ls | file" work? I've been studying about the command line and learned that | (pipeline) is meant to redirect the output from a command to the input of another one. So why does the command ls | file doesn't work?  file input is one of more filenames, like file filename1 filename2  ls output is a list of directories and files on a folder, so I thought ls | file was supposed to show the file type of every file on a folder.  When I use it however, the output is:      Usage: file [-bcEhikLlNnprsvz0] [--apple] [--mime-encoding] [--mime-type]         [-e testname] [-F separator] [-f namefile] [-m magicfiles] file ...     file -C [-m magicfiles]     file [--help]   As there was some error with the usage of the file command SF Story about human adapting to alien environment This is a story that was read on BBC radio about thirty years ago, and this is about as right as I can remember it: The human pilot of a spacecraft is doing some reconnaissance on an alien planet. He crashes but survives. For some reason, no one will know where to look for him. He sees something in the distance that looks like a building of some sort. When he gets there, it seems to be a home. Very much like a human home. There's furniture, but it's strange and uncomfortable . There's food, but it's inedible. There's a faucet but what comes out of it seems more like acid. Everything looks as though it should be right, but it's not. He leaves the house, wanders and after a few days is desperate for water. But there isn't any water anywhere. He's close to death, crawling on the ground and then something happens. There are cracks in the soil and there appears to be water bubbling up from perhaps some underground stream. The water revives him. He goes back to the house and tries the food again. It's delicious and he eats enough to gain back his strength. Then he decides to try the water again. It's pure and wonderful. He takes a shower and the last line of the story is how refreshing the water is on his skin and something about him lifting his tail. Manual/automatic line breaks and text alignment in TikZ nodes Suppose $X,Y$ and $Z$ are multivariate normal with means and full covariance matrix. The conditional expectation $E(X | Y)$ is well know. What is the conditional expectation of $E(X | Y,Z)$ if $Y$ and $Z$ (and $X$) are correlated? Standard textbooks only seem to cover the case when $Y$ and $Z$ are uncorrelated. Here's a situation that came up during a back lot league softball game a few weeks ago. (Note: While our league has some of its own rules we try to defer to MLB rules in all causes that aren't specifically addressed.)  There is a runner on second (R2) and a runner on first, with no outs. A ground ball is hit to the third baseman (3B) who cleanly fields the ball away from third base. Seeing that R2 is running toward him, 3B does not go to third and instead waits to tag the incoming R2. R2, in an attempt to buy some time for the other runners, stops advancing to third base. As soon as R2 stops, 3B declares R2 is out (without making a tag) and throws the ball to first to make a play.  During the discussion after the play, the 3B claimed that any player advancing on a force cannot stop moving toward their next bag or they are automatically out (the same way a runner leaving the baseline to avoid a tag is considered out). Our rules don't have a specific clause that addresses this situation and I couldn't find anything in official MLB rules (though it's possible I missed something, as 3B claims it is an MLB rule).  So, is 3B’s claim correct? That if a runner who is forced to advance to their next base stops (in particular to avoid/delay a tag) they are automatically out? I've just upgraded to Ubuntu 17.10 and am missing the Ubuntu Dock settings, i.e. in gnome-control-center the dock settings are blank:    I think I might be missing the "ubuntu-dock" package, but can't find this anywhere in the software centre.  Also the gnome-control-center was completely missing after the update, and I had to install this separately - not sure if this is related.  I think this is different from  because changing the type of GNOME session doesn't fix the problem. If I go for GNOME* I get no Dock settings section at all, and if I got for Ubuntu* I get the blank Dock settings section described above.

I'm trying to avoid this so if I suspect being "charged" I try to touch something that does not conduct electricity (such as a wooden table) as soon as possible, in the belief that this will "uncharge me".   Is it true that touching wood will uncharge you? How and when do I get charged? I noticed that it happens only in parts of the years, and after I get out of the car... How can I remove fonts that I never use, from libreoffice and linux in general? There are a lot of extra fonts that all seem to look alike and just annoy me in the drop down list.
