Usually, it is the other way around...so this might be the first from what I researched.  lets say i log on to my server venus as willc86. When I su root, it lets me in. however, lets say I ssh venus -l root, it wont let me. access denied. if I ssh venus -l willc86 it works, but I have to su root in order to switch  is this a ssh problem?
I´d like to enable the ssh root access on Ubuntu 14.04. Editing the /etc/ssh_config (PermitRootLogin yes) didn't affect anything.
What is the meaning of 'though'? Okay, of course I've used different popular online dictionaries and the translation makes sense in the most cases.    Sometimes I find usages of 'though' where I don't get the meaning of the word.   An example I've found on twitter     That face, though. [Image of a dog looking weird]   The tweet came without any context or conversation.  When I translate this example to my native language - german - this makes absolutely no sense. At least for me.  So is the above usage some kind of slang? What is the meaning of though in this case?  For the completeness an example that makes absolutely sense for me     Though he tried very hard, he failed the course. I want to determine the set of natural numbers that can be expressed as the sum of some non-negative number of 3s and 5s.  $$S=\{3k+5j∣k,j∈\mathbb{N}∪\{0\}\}$$  I want to check whether that would be: 0,3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and so on.  Meaning that it would include 0, 3, 5, 8. Then from 9 and on, every Natural Number. But how would I explain it as a set? or prove that these are the numbers in the set? 8 bits representing the number 7 look like this:  00000111   Three bits are set.     What are algorithms to determine the number of set bits in a 32-bit integer? Forward/Inverse Search Does Not work on certain tex files What are bitwise shift (bit-shift) operators and how do they work? I've been attempting to learn C in my spare time, and other languages (C#, Java, etc.) have the same concept (and often the same operators) ...   What I'm wondering is, at a core level, what does bit-shifting (&lt;&lt;, &gt;&gt;, &gt;&gt;&gt;) do, what problems can it help solve, and what gotchas lurk around the bend? In other words, an absolute beginner's guide to bit shifting in all its goodness. This question isn't so much about how to achieve the effect of making a scene look like it's modelled in miniature, but why tilting the focal plane creates the effect. What is it about photographing miniatures that makes them look like miniatures, and how is this replicated by tilting the focal plane?  I can understand how when photographing a model of a scene, you have a much higher magnification, which leads to a shallower depth of field compared to when capturing the real-sized scene, but how does tilting the focal plane help? Is it just that you have the focal plane tilted relative to the plane that most of your subject is on, so that you can achieve a narrower depth of field for the focal length and aperture, or is there more to it than that? How can I tell which version of Windows 8 I am running? Standard, Pro, Enterprise, or RT? I have searched everywhere but cannot find how to tell which version of Windows 8 I am running.  I have the system properties on the screen but it just says "Windows 8," nothing else.  Is this the standard edition?

Bevel is not symmetrical I would like to know if the same Minecraft account used on a computer can be used on a different platform like the Xbox 360? I am not asking about playing on each simultaneously as each platform has been purchased - I am asking if you can cross play on multiple platforms with the same account. Basically I would like to know if all the saved stuff and settings from one platform will carry over to another. How to space columns evenly in a table with multicolumns? How to make the BibTeX reference list visible in a LaTeX document Im very new at LaTeX and I would appreciate some help solving this problem. I have created a BibTeX file containing all references to a document. In this text file BibTeX items are inserted and no other text are written, for instance @article{...}. When I call for this bib file from the main.tex file I use the commands:  \bibliographystyle{plain} \bibliography{thebibliography}   Now to my question. All i get when I compile this main.tex is the title (bibliography) for this chapter, otherwise the textfield is blank. Is this error occurring because I should write anything in the bib file or have I missed any lines in the main.tex file. Making a HUD/GUI with OpenGL (LWJGL) Prove that: $ \cot7\frac12 ^\circ = \sqrt2 + \sqrt3 + \sqrt4 + \sqrt6$ How to prove the following trignometric identity? $$ \cot7\frac12 ^\circ = \sqrt2 + \sqrt3 + \sqrt4 + \sqrt6$$  Using half angle formulas, I am getting a number for $\cot7\frac12 ^\circ $, but I don't know how to show it to equal the number $\sqrt2 + \sqrt3 + \sqrt4 + \sqrt6$.  I would however like to learn the technique of dealing with surds such as these, especially in trignometric problems as I have a lot of similar problems and I don't have a clue as to how to deal with those.  Hints please!  EDIT:  What I have done using half angles is this: (and please note, for convenience, I am dropping the degree symbols. The angles here are in degrees however).  I know that $$ \cos 15 = \dfrac{\sqrt3+1}{2\sqrt2}$$  So,   $$\sin7.5 = \sqrt{\dfrac{1-\cos 15} {2}}$$ $$\cos7.5 = \sqrt{\dfrac{1+\cos 15} {2}} $$  $$\implies \cot 7.5 = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\sqrt2 + \sqrt3 + 1} {2\sqrt2 - \sqrt3 + 1}} $$ How to change desktop background from command line in Unity? I have a script that updates my desktop background every day with the NASA APOD. Since upgrading to 11.10, that script stopped working, presumably because I'm using gconftool-2 to actually update the desktop background. Is there a new way to do this under Unity? I have some Python code that makes Raster Attribute Tables for GeoTiffs using GDAL.    In ArcGIS I can see these attribute tables fine and they behave how I like (as classifications) but in QGIS the whole concept of an attribute table seems to be missing.    Is there any way to access a RAT in QGIS? How do I troubleshoot high 'svchost.exe' usage in Windows 7? I'm having a problem with Windows 7 64-bit. I thought it was slow and all, but then I saw that the CPU usage was always around 80% and started searching for a solution.  There are two svchost.exe's consuming around 30% each and in the resources monitor there's a system interrupts consuming 45% all the time. I tried closing the applications, but it makes no difference.  I tried some other things that I've found on Google, like disable system updates, but it didn't work.  I don't know if it will help but here's my specifications:  Core 2 Duo 4400 ATI Radeon 4850 4 GB DDR2 RAM     EDIT  I ran the suggested program and got this information; did I get it right?      EDIT  As you asked here it is, did I get it right now? The other TCP/IP there's nothing.    EDIT  I ran msconfig and took the services that one of the svchost.exe processes was using out of the startup and now my CPU is around 50%, but I still would like to improve it further. I can't lose that much CPU power just because of Windows...    EDIT  Yeah, there's nothing I can do here. I am going to reinstall Windows&nbsp;XP soon, it's really weird... Render Glass like materials with Alpha Channel to composite in external app Hope you can help me with some issues I've been dealing these days.  As I'm rendering products, most of the time I need to render some transparent materials in order to do a post-pro in Photoshop, change the backgrounds, superpose images, etc.  I've been looking for an answer but yet I've couldn't get a solution for this problem.  I need to render materials with transparency and no background in Cycles.  I've found that there are two ways to do this:   Render with transparency in the materials.  Render and get two renders, the original and another one only with the alpha channel to edit in Photoshop.   For the first option, I've achieved to render a glass-like material, as PET plastic using this node tree:    For the second option, I haven't found a way to get the alpha channel in cycles that includes the object with transparency and, if possible, the shadows in the background| but without the background. In a linear program, I have a variable $y$ that must obey $y=\max(x-a,0)$ where $x$ is a linear combination of the other variables and $a$ is a constant. $x$ and $y$ and $a$ are always non-negative. If the objective function decreases w.r.t. $y$, then adding the constraint $y\geq x-a$ makes it work. Are there any way to add dummy varibles and contraints such that $y=\max(x-a,0)$ when the objective function increases w.r.t. $y$? I can't say $y\leq x-a$ because if $x-a&lt;0$ it contradicts the non-negativity of $y$ whereby the solution might no longer be in the feasible region or the problem might even be infeasible.
