How do I sign up for a Yahoo! email account without a mobile phone? Can't afford one on SSD.
I'd like to create a Yahoo! account. The signup page won't let me proceed without entering a cell phone number, and it won't recognize my Google Voice number as a valid cell phone number. Is there a workaround to be able to create a Yahoo! account without having a cell phone that can receive SMS messages?
Let's say there is a user who has found a satisfactory answer to a common question asked on Stack Overflow (or other Stack Exchange website).  This answer may be a snippet of code, or an addon, or a framework, or something else.    Is it acceptable for this user to formulate an answer for one question, find every related question and then copy the exact answer to each of those questions?  And, if not, what should  users who finds themselves in this situation do? Is  && statement() the same as if() statement()? Checking if file is checked out through CSOM Is there a way to check if a file is checked out by another user? I am going trhough a list file by file and would like to avoid the "file is opened by another user" error. Something like this would be nice:  Guid id = new Guid(slideLibrary); // ID of Slide-Library. List list = ctx.Web.Lists.GetById(id); ListItemCollection items = list.GetItems(CamlQuery.CreateAllItemsQuery()); ctx.Load(items); // Loading all the fields System.Security.SecureString pwd = new System.Security.SecureString(); foreach (char c in "pwd".ToCharArray()) pwd.AppendChar(c);  ctx.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(login, pwd); ctx.ExecuteQuery();  // Iterating through all the entries. foreach (var item in items) {     String currentID = item["ID"].ToString(); // Getting the ID of the current item.      if (!item.IsCheckedOut()) // This is the part I am looking for.     {        // Do stuff     }     else     {        Console.WriteLine("Item is blocked, skipping it.")     } }   I have yet not been able to find something fitting. Prove $kf(x)+f'(x)=0 $ when conditions of Rolle's theorem are satisfied . Prove that if $f$ is differentiable on $ [a,b]$ and if $ f(a)=f(b)=0$ then for any real $k$ there is an $ x \in (a,b) $such that $$kf(x)+f'(x)=0 $$  As all the conditions of Rolle's theorem are satisfied one can say that there is at least one  $c \in (a,b) $ such that $f'(c) =0$ How should I proceed furthur ? How can I use this to get to the required equation ? I am talking about when you click on the icons in the dock This command gsettings set org.compiz.unityshell:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/ launcher-minimize-window true  which works for Unity Launcher, (obviously) does not work.  Related to: iPhone 5S, LTE does not work AES Mix Column Transformation Section 3.4.3 "The MixColumns Step"(page 39) of , it states     The columns of the state are considered as polynomials over   $\operatorname{GF}(2^8)$ and multiplied modulo $x^4 + 1$ with a fixed polynomial $c(x)$.      The polynomial $c(x)$ is given by   $c(x) = \mathtt{03} \cdot x^3 + \mathtt{01} \cdot x^2 + \mathtt{01} \cdot x + \mathtt{02}$      Let $b(x) \equiv c(x) \cdot a(x) \pmod{x^4 + 1}$. Then         How this polynomial multiplication modulo $x^4+1$ is converted to Matrix Multiplication? How do the radian have a unit? The radian is defined as the ratio of the circumference and the radius. Both are measured in meters. So there should not be a unit for that. But we use 'rad' as the unit of the radian value.   The coefficient of static/kinetic friction also the same, it is a ratio of both forces. Therefore it doesn't have a unit.  So, is there a special reason to have a unit for the radian value? Rocket Altitude Calculation Assignment Basic data I was launching a rocket model and I tried to calculate the reached altitude.  The engine (C6-0) impulse is 10 Ns Total weight is 65,7 g (includes the engine)  I calculated speed = 152 m/s $$\vec F \cdot t = \Delta m \vec v$$ Then I calculated the altitude 1007 m which seems too much to me. I guess something about 200 m (you may see the video) $$y_{\max} = \frac{v_0^2 \ }{2 g}$$ Drag I guess, I have to consider drag  Diameter of rocket 2,5 cm Drag coefficient 0,05 (I guess)  $$F_D\, =\, \tfrac12\, \rho\, v^2\, C_D\, A$$ But what about now, what is really achieved altitude?

Hello I can't find the option to reassign shortcuts in xfce4-terminal 0.6.3. I'd like to reassign ctrl+c to copy, ctrl+v to paste and ctrl+shift+c to kill process. I know I can do that easily under gnome-terminal but since I'm using xfce I would like to avoid installing all the dependencies for gnome-terminal. Any idea on how to achieve that ? Bug Identification: Tiny Bugs Is it possible to run Android apps on Ubuntu? And I don't mean inside an emulator, but natively, as you would with any other application installed using the Ubuntu Software Center. Get users to use the download button instead of right-click save As part of our system, a web application, we have an image viewer. Previously we always displayed the full resolution image but scaled down with CSS to fit the page. For performance reasons we now display a properly scaled version of the image with the option to download the full resolution image with a button under the image.  As part of the users' workflow, they sometimes need to download this full resolution image to submit to another system. The problem is that many users just right-click the image and press "save image as". This used to work fine but now it will instead provide them with a low resolution image. The users don't notice this and this causes problems further down the line. How can we force users away from this behaviour? Sure, we could tell them not to do it but that doesn't feel very scalable. My least bad idea so far is to hijack the right-click in the browser but this is A) not super nice UI and B) not sure to cover all cases.  In short: How can we get users to use the download button instead of saving the low-res thumbnail? Very specific paragraph shape How to "flatten" a multi-dimensional array to simple one in PHP? It's probably beginner question but I'm going through documentation for longer time already and I can't find any solution. I thought I could use implode for each dimension and then put those strings back together with str_split to make new simple array. However I never know if the join pattern isn't also in values and so after doing str_split my original values could break.  Is there something like combine($array1, $array2) for arrays inside of multi-dimensional array? Server login attempts NOT blocked after configuring fail2ban So, I installed (and configured) fail2ban on three Ubuntu VPS servers. I configured (imo) a maximum of 3 failed login attempts (via Putty as root) within 2 minutes. Then I restarted the fail2ban service (according to ).    But when I look at my auth.log files in /var/log/ I still see 4, 5 or more failed attempts from certain IP's. So obviously I did something wrong as the IP is not blocked after 3 failed attempts.   It might have to do something with iptables, but that's where it gets a bit "foggy" for me..   Not sure how to setup a max-three-failed-login-attempts rule..  Additional: I see that the login attempts mostly have different ports for every attempt. Does that influence the count to max-three?  Because I see a port being "poked" twice and then no more attempts. Then the IP tries a different port (again 2 times). (all bots of course) Describe in English a Turing machine that semidecides the following language - Is this solution correct? The language being L, which is described as follows:  $L$ = { $&lt;M&gt;$ | $M$ accepts the binary encodings of at least 4 odd numbers } .  My solution:  M generates the binary encodings in $\Sigma_M*$ in ascending order and uses dovetailing to interleave the computation of M on those binary encodings. As soon as four computations accept, M halts and accepts.  Is this correct? What corrections would have to be made if not? I am not sure if I am providing enough details in my solution which may cause it to be incorrect. I was just wondering whether or not there have been mistakes in mathematics. Not a conjecture that ended up being false, but a theorem which had a proof that was accepted for a nontrivial amount of time before someone found a hole in the argument. Does this happen anymore now that we have computers? I imagine not. But it seems totally possible that this could have happened back in the Enlightenment.   Feel free to interpret this how you wish! In chapter 2, the section on bitwise operators (section 2.9), I'm having trouble understanding how one of the sample methods works.  Here's the method provided:  unsigned int getbits(unsigned int x, int p, int n) {     return (x &gt;&gt; (p + 1 - n)) &amp; ~(~0 &lt;&lt; n); }   The idea is that, for the given number x, it will return the n bits starting at position p, counting from the right (with the farthest right bit being position 0). Given the following main() method:  int main(void) {     int x = 0xF994, p = 4, n = 3;     int z = getbits(x, p, n);     printf("getbits(%u (%x), %d, %d) = %u (%X)\n", x, x, p, n, z, z);      return 0; }   The output is:     getbits(63892 (f994), 4, 3) = 5 (5)   I get portions of this, but am having trouble with the "big picture," mostly because of the bits (no pun intended) that I don't understand.  The part I'm specifically having issues with is the complements piece: ~(~0 &lt;&lt; n). I think I get the first part, dealing with x; it's this part (and then the mask) that I'm struggling with -- and how it all comes together to actually retrieve those bits. (Which I've verified it is doing, both with code and checking my results using calc.exe -- thank God it has a binary view!)  Any help? Can you cast a spell at a higher level, even if it doesn't have an "At higher levels" entry? Many spells have "At higher levels" that provides for more targets or more damage.  For example Magic Missile can be cast as a second level spell and shoot 4 missiles instead of it's 3 as a first level spell.  Can a spell without that verbiage, such as Firestorm be cast in higher level slots for the same effect as the lower level spell?
