I have an external hard drive that I used to install programs on, I have since formatted my c drive and use the external drive as a storage only drive. There are however two remnants left over from the previous install on the external hd.  One is a folder full of Windows update files and the other is a Program files folder. I tried to delete the folder but it would give me the "need permissions" dialogue box and would then tell me I need permissions from user "S- ... #####". I did an ownership change on the folder and sub folders/files but that didn't work. Its still says I need permission from the new owner, even though I am the owner ... it does not make any sense. I cannot format the drive either as I have other files on it.   How can I force these folders to deletion?
I have an external HDD and I kind of messed up the file permissions but when fixing it I thought it is ok bc with my username I can access the files perfectly fine. Now that I use this with two PC (actually ATM I don't have access to my other PC) I can't access these files.  The problem is this directory has hundreds of folders with no permission for "everyone". I would like to give it the default permissions including have all access for the user "everyone". How do I do that via command line for these hundreds of folders?
Are there idioms or expressions in English that describe going from one bad situation to one that's even worse?  I heard "between a rock and hard place" but this describes a dilemma not really a transition. I am looking for an expression that describes someone trying to get out of a bad situation but after much effort, the situation only got worse. How do I get a block with data to place myself?

What’s (not) spam? Somebody asked the following :    Clearly this is just a troll post so I (and other users) flagged it as spam. The spam flag was subsequently disputed (which I think simply means that a moderator rejected it):    Huh?

Please describe exactly what's wrong.      Of these, only a few are applicable at all: “spam”, “should be closed for another reason”, “low quality” and “requires moderator attention”.  But:   it shouldn’t be closed (it has no value – it should be deleted), it’s not “low quality” (the description seems to fit actual, albeit bad, questions), and it doesn’t require moderator attention (I certainly didn’t want to bother a mod with this worthless post).   So I still think “spam” is the most fitting reason. Maybe it would help to have a more apt reason “troll post”, or maybe we could explicitly subsume this under one of the other points?

I have this problem I'm working on.

Thanks! Periodically, my MacBook Pro 17" stops recognizing my headphones. No amount of unplugging and replugging seems to help. The sound settings never show headphones as an output device. How can I fix this? The only thing I can find elsewhere on the Internet are people saying, "Reboot!" This works, but is impractical and annoying. Suppose that $f$ is differentiable on $\mathbb{R}$ and $\lim_{x\to \infty}f'(x)=M$. Show that $\lim_{x\to \infty}f(x+1)-f(x)$ exists and find it. I've been stuck on this question for a long time now and was wondering if anyone could show me how it's done. So far I have done the following: Since $\lim_{x\to \infty}f'(x)=M$ then $\forall \epsilon ,\exists A &gt;0$  s.t. if $x&gt;A$ then $|f'(x)-M|&lt;\epsilon$. So we have that $M-\epsilon&lt;f'(x)&lt;M+\epsilon$. By MVT on $[x,x+1]$ for $x&gt;A$, $\exists c\in (x,x+1)$ s.t. ${f(x+1)-f(x)\over 1}=f'(c)$. Therefore, $M-\epsilon&lt;f(x+1)-f(x)&lt;M+\epsilon$. However, I do not know what to do after this. How can I disown a running process and associate it to a new screen shell? I have a running program on a SSH shell. I want to pause it and be able to unpause its execution when I come back.  One way I thought of doing that was to transfer its ownership to a screen shell, thus keeping it running in there.  Is there a different way to proceed? I have a dual boot of Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04. Recently I upgraded it to 18.04. As soon as I did it, it started showing DISK IS LIKELY TO FAIL SOON (37° C / 99° F).    I checked the status of my disk via Windows and it shows it’s perfectly healthy. I assumed the error occurred because my partition size of Ubuntu was 64GB (which I now increased to 86GB). Please help me out with this.

Prove that  $$\displaystyle\lim_{p\to 0} \left[ \int_{\Omega}|f|^pd\mu \right]^{\frac{1}{p}}=\exp \left[ \int_{\Omega}\log|f| d\mu  \right],$$  where $\exp[-\infty]=0$. To simplify the problem, we may assume $\log|f|\in L^1(\Omega).$ I am currently working my way through "A Concise Introduction to Pure Mathematics" by Martin Liebeck, and have been stuck on an excersise for a couple of days now. The question reads:  "Show that for an integer n $\geq2$, the period of the decimal expression for the rational number $\frac{1}{n}$ is at most $n-1$."  I've been trying to solve this without making any substantial progress. And yes, I have seen explanations that when performing a long division the decimal expression either terminates to $0$ or eventually repeats. But I haven't seen any proof of this that I've been satisfied with, even less do I know how to formalise this type of proof. I've tried to write out long division with arbitrary digits, but that obviously turns out to be too much of a hassle and basically impossible to draw any conclusions from.

Why are people still so convinced nothing can travel faster than light when we are perfectly aware of something that does? How can I ensure testNG test method does not abort if any assert fails I know there is a difference between assert and verify in Junit; the assert results in a runtime exception, causing test method execution to abort. To overcome this problem, we can have verify which will make test case fail, but allowing test execution to proceed rather than getting aborted.  I doubt there is any such built in approach in testNG. I do understand that best practices say, there should not be multiple asserts in same test case.  But, in practical world, we do come across scenarios where we need to have multiple checkpoints in one test case and we don't want our test method to abort because of one check point failure (test execution should proceed despite failure).  How can we use a soft assert mechanism, similar to verify, which will not abort test method when there is a checkpoint failure.  Example:  @Test(dataProvider = "getMailUrl") public void testMail(email,subject); Assert.assertFalse(subject.isEmpty);//1st checkpoint Assert.assertNotNull(email); //2nd checkpoint Assert.assertEquals(email, "feedback@yoursite.com"); //3rd checkpoint   Now, I want test execution to proceed, even if the 1st checkpoint (validation of subject being not empty) fails. Definitely we will be not be using assert (hard assert). We will need concept of soft assert similar to verify (facilitated by Junit).   I understand, we have to build a customListener implementing TestNG interfaces or extending existing listeners such as TestListenerAdapter. I am still struggling - how can we do this?
