How to overwrite only part of a file in c++ (Posted here as probably applies to all sites).  I was examining my reputation gain yesterday on Stack Overflow: 190. I believe I should have hit the 200 cap. Mainly due to         Respectively, I had 10, 7, 3, and 2 upvotes on those questions alone. There are a couple of other minnows in the list but the above alone should enable me to hit the cap.  There was a user removed sometime yesterday which knocked off 10 points (and possibly accounts for the disparity) but I think (1) the cap should have been recalibrated and (2) I answered (3) after this event before turning in for the night.  I checked all the usual suspects: the reputation graph on your profile and  the achievements tab, but they are all showing 190. NS list does not match list from parent zone I'm attempting to figure out an error message that I got from dnsstuff.com when examining my DNS records.  The error reads as follows.     NS list does not match list from parent zone. This should be addressed because queries for this domain may require an extra lookup (and more overhead) because there is no direct relationship between the NS records at the parent and the NS records at the authoritative servers. This can cause delays. The mismatched NS list is:      nameserver ns1.domain.co. | xxx.xx.xxx.xxx is missing NS2.domain.co. | yy.yyy.yy.yyy   There are a couple questions I have regarding this.   What is the difference between a parent and authoritative zone?  In other forum posts I've seen, the seem to be used interchangeably (although that could be my misperception). What does it mean for the NS list not to match the list from the parent zone?  What is "the list from the parent zone" to which they refer? How might you recommend that I resolve this?   In case this affects any answers, I'm running Virtualmin on Ubuntu 12.04.  Any help is appreciated.  Many thanks in advance! I have the following question:    $\textbf{Question}:$ Let $\mathcal{F}_1$ and $\mathcal{F}_2$ be two algebras. Is $\mathcal{F}_1 \cap \mathcal{F}_2$ a $\sigma$-algebra?  I believe the answer is no. I know the definition of an algebra and the definition of $\sigma$-algebra.    I'm assuming I need to show that the intersection of the finite unions of each algebra is finite, but then I get stuck trying to work out how to show it is not a $\sigma$-algebra.  All help is appreciated.  Many thanks, John We will call a matrix positive matrix if all elements in the matrix are positive, and we will denote the largest eigenvalue with $\lambda_{\max}$, what is exist because of the .  Theorem. Let $A$ be a positive square matrix. If any element increases in the matrix then $\lambda_{\max}$ increases.  My questions.    Is there a name for this theorem and can anybody say books or papers what refer to it? How to prove it? I'm aware that this one is far from yes or no question, but I'd like to know which techniques do you prefer in categorical data analysis - i.e. cross tabulation with two categorical variables.  I've come up with:    &chi;2 test - well, this is quite self-explanatory  Fisher's exact test - when n &lt; 40, Yates' continuity correction - when n > 40,  Cramer's V - measure of association for tables which have more than 2 x 2 cells, &Phi; coefficient - measure of association for 2 x 2 tables, contingency coefficient (C) - measure of association for n x n tables, odds ratio - independence of two categorical variables, McNemar marginal homogeniety test,   And my question here is: Which statistical techniques for cross-tabulated data (two categorical variables) do you consider relevant (and why)? Why is uniform prior on log(x) equal to 1/x prior on x? I'm trying to understand Jeffreys prior. One application is for 'scale' variables like the standard deviation $\sigma$ (or its square, the variance $\sigma^2$) of Gaussian distributions. It is often said that using a uniform prior over $\sigma$ is not really non-informative and instead one should either:   Use instead $\ln \sigma$ as the free parameter, with a uniform prior (this is often called a log-uniform prior) Or keep using $\sigma$ as the free parameter but use $1/\sigma$ as the prior (which is not uniform).   Why are the above two methods/priors equivalent? I feel it has something to do with the fact that the derivative of ln $\sigma$ is $1/\sigma$ but I can't take the next step.   Also, why does this even matter, in simple language with minimal jargon? I see all these complicated explanations online involving the Fisher information matrix but in the end all I see is that the above log-uniform or $1/\sigma$ priors preferentially weight lower values of $\sigma$ more highly. Why? If possible, a simple analytic example or python snippet would be very helpful. how to reduce DC voltage using resistors? How would one go about using a 12 V DC power source to power something which needs 4.5 V DC using resistors? Is there a way to determine how much adding a resistor would drop the voltage? How to create a bootable USB with multiple ISO images in it What I want is to create a bootable pen drive that shows GRUB menu and I can select any of the several bootable systems from there to install/run. I have several ISO images that I want to install in the USB like Ubuntu, Fedora, System Rescue CD, Windows XP and Windows 7 (The windows versions are optional, mostly am looking for a multi installer for Linux distros, specially Ubuntu version)  The default Startup Disk Creator only works with Linux Images and only 1 at a time (At least for the mean time. If it allows more systems and multiple ISOs it would be awesome)  What method exists that I can use step by step to create a bootable USB Drive with multiple images than can be booted from the USB and selected from GRUB. It must support Windows Images and Linux Images.  Alternatively, is there also a way to have multiple versions of the Ubuntu installation ISO on same USB Drive, such as, when booting from it, I get to choose what Ubuntu version and architecture to install, for example:     BOOT MENU   Ubuntu 12.04 32 Bit   Ubuntu 12.04 64 Bit   Ubuntu 12.10 32 Bit   Ubuntu 12.10 64 Bit   UPDATE: Wanted to add that the English version for the post mentioned by daithib8 is here: Broken "Network profile" link when Area51 is their only account Changing affiliation on publication How to delete all files in a current directory starting with a dot? Opposite of Alternatives I am having some issues with the hyperref package. I would like to create a Introduction chapter without a number so I use \chapter*{Introduction} and \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Introduction} because I want it in the table of contents (see example).

Set an alias on Bourne shell I am using a scrtipt with instruction 'SH -c command', where command is an alias from bash, this alias can not be interpreted into Bourne shell. ¿Do you have any idea for set this alias into Bourne shell and getting that it works in the new shell? Thanks everyone ! Symbols instead of numbers as footnote markers How can I make LaTeX use symbols (*, †, ‡, and so on) instead of numbers to mark footnotes?  (The numbers are confusing because I use superscripted numbers for citations.) Are film capacitors affected by DC bias? After looking around, I have found quite a few things about how DC bias reduces effective capacitance for a ceramic, or electrolytic capacitor, however nothing seems to talk about the effect on film capacitors. I've found a couple of papers about film caps (such as: ), and they mention frequency and temperature, but I can't find anything about DC bias reducing capacitance.  I have obviously checked the data sheet of the component I plan on using (), but there isn't anything about DC bias in that (unless I've just failed at spotting it).  This suggests to me that they aren't affected by DC bias, but that seems a bit of a bold claim, and I can't see that stated anywhere.  Are film capacitor values affected by DC bias? If so, can anyone point me to some data about what the roll off is?  I am planning to use some film capacitors in an application with 48-60V DC across the capacitors and a ripple current around 30 amps.
