On my system, the time zone is set to Kolkatta, India, but it is not showing the correct time on the clock, it's 5:30 hour behind actual time. In System Settings if default system country is US, even after Kolkatta, India has been selected, the time remains behind by 5:30 hour.   Can anyone suggest what I should do?
Dual boot system Windows XP Pro and Ubuntu 12.04.  I have the bios set for the correct time and Ubuntu set for US Eastern time.  Ubuntu will boot up and the time will be off by -4 hours.  If I correct the time in Ubuntu then when I boot up in Windows XP the time will be off by + 4 hours.  This is a fresh install of 12.04. I did not have this problem before reinstalling Ubuntu.
Why do wheels appear to revolve opposite to the direction they are rotating? When viewing cars that are driving along side of us, sometimes their wheels appear to be turning backwards even though they are traveling in the same direction as our car. Why do they look that way? What happened to /etc/apt/apt.conf? I was browsing through the apt folder to try my proxy settings and I was unable to find the apt.conf file in Ubuntu 11.04. Is there any alternative file for it?  Adding proxy settings to 99-synaptic in apt.conf.d does not help as it gets overwritten everytime I restart the system. Now, that Adobe has stopped issuing new releases for Linux desktops, the only option for users is to use Google Chrome, for those who want to use the latest Flash updates. I use Chromium. Is there any way to get Chromium use the Flash from Google Chrome? The reason I as this question is that I have noticed both these browsers run in the background, so technically, the browsers' plugins are available to use. How to add a progress bar to a shell script? When scripting in bash or any other shell in *NIX, while running a command that will take more than a few seconds, a progress bar is needed.  For example, copying a big file, opening a big tar file.  What ways do you recommend to add progress bars to shell scripts? Can White Walkers talk? Through all the five seasons of Game of Thrones we had never seen a White Walker talking.  Does this mean they can't talk human language (e.g. they have their own language) or we will never see them talking (i.e. they can't talk at all)? Custom post type - posts list - white screen of death I'm currently working on a scene containing 1000+ objects which all need to be set to a different draw type to save on computationally expenses in the viewport. But doing this for every object separately is really tedious. Therefor I'm wondering if there's a way to change the maximum draw type of multiple objects simultaneously. Preferably only the selected objects. How to stop mysql from running at boot time? Currently, my MySQL server starts on every server boot. For a couple reasons, this is undesirable behavior. Is there a way to disable this behavior? Back in Europe I have a N64 console. As I am currently living in Japan, I find myself tempted to buy some old N64 games in Japanese. However, the articles about the N64's region locking usually assume Japanese games on an American console...  My question thus is: Can you play a Japanese N64 Game on a European console? How to install tzdata on a ubuntu docker image? I have the following line in the Dockerfile.  RUN apt-get install -y tzdata   When I run it, it asks for my input.

It is an area where there are tons of businesses but unless I drive about a mile from my work area there are no Pokestops.   I want to add one since we have 1000's of people in the work area, a lot of them play Pokemon Go, and we all can't leave work to drive a mile away to get to a Pokestop area.   Plus it would be nice to be able to capture Pokemon on our breaks. The question is as follows.  Imagine we have two closed geodesics on a surface, where these two geodesics bound a cylinder together and the geodesics are diffeomorphic to circles.  Can the cylinder have $K&gt;0$ everywhere or $K&lt;0$ everywhere?  Here $K$ is Gaussian Curvature.   What's confusing me about this question is that a cylinder has Gaussian Curvature of $K=0$ everywhere, so wouldn't the answer to both questions be no?  But then I don't get the point of the question with the geodesics.  Thank you in advance Is it possible for information to be transmitted faster than light by using a rigid pole? How to prove $\sum\limits_{r=0}^n \frac{(-1)^r}{r+1}\binom{n}{r} = \frac1{n+1}$? Cauchy-Schwarz inequality proof (but not the usual one) Before you downvote/vote-to-close, I am not asking for a proof of: $$\sum^n_{i=1}a_ib_i\le\sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^na_i^2}\sqrt{\sum^n_{i=1}b_i^2 } $$ Which is what EVERY link I've found assumes is the inequality (for a proof of that see:  )    I am reading a book that claims the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality is actually: $$\vert\langle x,y\rangle\vert\le\Vert x\Vert\Vert y\Vert$$ where $\Vert x\Vert :=\sqrt{\langle x,x\rangle}$  with the additional claim: equality holds $\iff\ x,y$ are linearly dependent  I cannot find a proof of this claim (only proofs for the dot product inner product). My question is: what is the simplest way to prove this (I define simplest to mean "using as few definitions outside of the inner product itself as possible" - so that's not including Gramm-Schmitt orthonormalisation, for example.)  I've just found some possible answers in the links on the right (annoyingly) but fortunately I have a second, albeit softer, question:  What inequalities that are common for say $\mathbb{R}^n$ are actually based on the inner product?   (In future I will check this site first, I was targeting lecture notes and such in my search)  Addendum: I want to use this on not-finite dimensional vector spaces. I've found one proof that relies on finite-ness. Proving normality of affine schemes One of the exercises in Ravi Vakil's algebraic geometry notes, Ex. $5.4.$I(b), is to show that    $$ \operatorname{Spec}\left(k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]/(x_1^2 + \cdots + x_m^2)\right) $$   is normal, where $k$ is any field of $\operatorname{char}(k)\neq 2$, and $n \geq m \geq 3$.    I have absolutely no idea how to get started on this. Is there anyone that could give a hint as to how one would approach this problem? I have tried reading up on WMS on wiki and other sources but haven't managed to get my head around a couple of points.   1) Using WMS is it possible to get a local copy of the raster data (say a tiff image tile). The reason, I ask is, I need to use his raster data in a secondary process that needs a local copy of the file.   2) I am primarily interested in allowing users the option of downloading orthoimagery and elevation from the USGS repository. I've tried using the Seamless viewer but I am thinking more along the lines of user specifying a coordinate (or four corner coords) and getting the orthoimage and elevation data corresponding to that. I thought WMS (Geoserver being my first option) is the way to go for this, but not certain. So wanted to get your advice.  Thanks in advance.  Sincerely, ST. Algorithm over 2 pages I am writing a few rather large pseudocode functions using algorithm and algorithmic, i.e. my code looks something like:  \begin{algorithm}                      \caption{Coolest Algorithm ever}           \label{findme}                           \begin{algorithmic} [1]                   % enter the algorithmic environment \REQUIRE    Here are a few variables \\             variable 2 \\             variable 3  \ENSURE     this is the output \\             output 2  \STATE $some cool code here$ \STATE $some cool code here$ \STATE $some cool code here$ \STATE $some cool code here$ \end{algorithmic} \end{algorithm}   Unfortunately this code does not fit on one page and I am definitely not able to split it into some subfunctions or so (I already did that as far as possible).  So now I need to split up the algorithm into two pages, but I have no idea how.  The easiest way I can imagine is just to start a new algorithm on the new page, but this time letting the line counter start at line 35 or so instead of 1. But how can I do that?  Please not that there is already a similar question here on this site, but it deals with the package algorithmicx. Is it completely against the Java way to create struct like objects?  class SomeData1 {     public int x;     public int y; }   I can see a class with accessors and mutators being more Java like.  class SomeData2 {     int getX();     void setX(int x);      int getY();     void setY(int y);      private int x;     private int y; }   The class from the first example is notationally convenient.  // a function in a class public int f(SomeData1 d) {     return (3 * d.x) / d.y; }   This is not as convenient.  // a function in a class public int f(SomeData2 d) {     return (3 * d.getX()) / d.getY(); } Does there exists an Isomorphism between $\mathbb{C}^* $ under multiplication with $\mathbb{C}$ under addition.  Attempt In my opinion It does not exists.  If there exists such an isomorphism say $\phi :\mathbb{C}^* \to \mathbb{C}$ then, from the fact that Isomorphism takes identity to identity we have $$\phi \left( 1 \right)=0$$  From the fact      Given $\phi:G \to H$ be an isomorphism, then For a fixed integer $k$ and a fixed group element $b$ in $G$, the   equation $x^k=b$ has the same number of solutions in $G$ as does   the equation $x^k=\phi\left(b\right)$ in $H$.   We have $x^4=1$ and $x^4=0$ must have same number of solutions, but the solutions to these equations are 4 and 1 only.
