My Laptop has 3 primary partition and 1 logical partition (which is common share among the 3 primary partition). 1st partition is with Windows 7, 2nd with Windows 8 and i intend to install 3rd with Ubuntu. I have a boot menu (using boot-us boot manager) to show this 3 partition separately when i switch on my laptop.  1) Please advise me the steps how to install Ubuntu into 3rd partition on only without damaging any of my other partition (E.g. 1st, 2nd and logical partition to be intact).  2) How do i change or fix the mac address (to a new one) in ubuntu (via menu or command line)?  Thanks in advance Saha
I currently have Windows 7 on my computer and I want to install Ubuntu alongside Windows safely.  Could someone please provide clear instructions?
How can the Xenomorph see? If you just look at a picture of one there are no eyes readily apparent but they clearly know where they are going. Could their screeching be some form of echo-location? Does there exist a surjective homomorphism from $(\mathbb R,+)$ to $(\mathbb Q,+)$ ? Does there exist a surjective homomorphism from $(\mathbb R,+)$ to $(\mathbb Q,+)$ ?  ( I know that there 'is' a   'surjection' , but I don't know whether any surjective homomrophism from $\mathbb R$ to $\mathbb Q$ exist or not . Please help . Thanks in advance ) Prove that $A+I$ is invertible if $A$ is nilpotent Possible Duplicate:          Given $A^{2012}=0$ prove that $A+I$ is invertible and find an expression for $(A+I)^{-1}$ in terms of $A$.

So I tried a few different answers that I found here, and I feel that this is possibly a duplicate question, but everything I have tried from the other solutions hasn't worked.  Basically I am trying to bake a material to a texture that will be used in Unity, but every test gives me a black background image.  In the image below, the top image texture is the mask (black and white, white being the leaves), and the bottom image texture is the colour. Changing TTY keyboard layout on a server? I use 12.04 Server in command line mode (no X installed), and I would like to change the keyboard layout. How can I do this? I have the following prompt in bash which shows the current git branch:  PS1+="$(git_prompt)" #git_prompt is a function in my .bashrc   which works when I source the .bashrc, but not when I change the branch, so the PS1 var gets only evaluated when I source the .bashrc, but it should be evaluated every time a new prompt is displayed. How can this be accomplished with bash 4.3 ? Legacy Debian versions and Bash Shellshock We are running Debian Etch, Lenny and Squeeze because upgrades have never been done in this shop; we have over 150 systems running various Debian versions.   In light of the "shell shock" of this week, I assume I need to upgrade bash.  I do not know Debian so I am concerned.   Can I merely execute apt-get install bash on all of my Debian systems and get the correct Bash package while my repository is pointed at a Squeeze entry. If not, what other course of action do I have? why normalize and the definition of directional derivative I'm not understanding how to solve this problem.  I think the problem lies in the fact that I don't understand why normalize and the definition of directional derivative... It's in Portuguese. The question would be: Determine the directional derivative of f in P in direction of vector u: Find $f$ where $f'(x) = f(1+x)$ Let $f \colon \mathbb{R} \rightarrow  \mathbb{R}$ be a smooth function such that $$f'(x) = f(1+x)$$ How can we find the general form of $f$? I thought of some differential equations, but not sure how to use them here. Thanks. #!/bin/bash - no such file or directory ls command very slow after deletion of thousand files on a directory I have a dir under /home/myuser dir which an application stores and deletes millions of temporary files. When I do ls on this dir (now it only has a hundred files only) it is too slow (actually I do not get any output for many minutes). After some google search and doing:  ls -dl ~/mydir/   I get this  drwxrwxrwx 2 myuser myuser 160108544 Oct 12 11:31 /home/myuser/mydir/   which basically means I have to re-index directory entries for this directory (if I understood correctly). How do I do force such a re-indexing on this dir? How to get the file name from a full path using JavaScript? If $x+{1\over x} = r $ then what is $x^3+{1\over x^3}$? If $$x+{1\over x} = r $$ then what is $$x^3+{1\over x^3}$$  Options: $(a) 3,$ $(b) 3r,$ $(c)r,$ $(d) 0$ I am kind of confused on the terminology of &quot;space&quot;. From  I am getting that  In mathematics, a space is a set (sometimes called a universe) with some added structure.  And from topological and metric spaces, I know that we a space is a a tuple of a set and a structure, e.g. $(X, \tau)$, $(X, d)$, where $\tau$ and $d$ are a topology and a metric respectively. On the other hand, in machine learning the term &quot;features space&quot; is used a lot for sets like $\mathbb R^n$, e.g.  and although it often refers to the set underlaying set itself, not the tuple of set plus the added structure. In fact, I have done the same in a previous publication (which the peer-reviewers accepted), but I would like to be both correct and precise in what I research, write, and submit. Is it just that machine learning researchers are imprecise in their terminology? Is it just an ? I think, what some people are doing, might be they consider a space to be a set, which is somewhat structured, instead considering the set with the structure (so, the tuple), to be the space.  I am not sure how to think about this. How do I deal with this in my writing? Especially since, what happens a lot is that I need subsets and element out of the underlying sets of all kinds of spaces.  Of course it would greatly help if there was a general name for a set that is the underlying set of a space, , but it seems that there is no dedicated name for such a set. Let's say there was a features space $(X, \cdot)$, (where I am not even sure, what structure we would add). Then it would be great to have a name for the set, let's call it an asdf. So we could say the feature asdf.  Afterthoughts: What makes it worse for me is that it seems ( and ) I am not even using the word &quot;structure&quot;, right, since it is about operations, so we are talking about an &quot;algebraic structure&quot;, while &quot;geometric space&quot; is... something else...? So apparently a &quot;vector space&quot; is actually not a &quot;geometric space&quot;, but an &quot;algebraic structure&quot;. I can understand that point, but the language gets even more confusing. virtual methods I'm getting the following error when trying to update a taxonomy field value via REST api:  {   "error": {     "code": "-1, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.ClientServiceException",     "message": {       "lang": "en-US",       "value": "Cannot deserialize data for type Microsoft.SharePoint.Taxonomy.TaxonomyFieldValueCollection."     }   } }   The request:  https://server/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/Shared Documents/file.txt')/ListItemAllFields  {   "__metadata": {     "type": "SP.Data.Shared_x0020_DocumentsItem"   },   "Title": "some title",   "Project": {     "results": [       {         "Label": "Term1",         "TermGuid": "897bdf7f-08d6-44b9-a71a-ddc4cf131664",         "WssId": 5       }     ]   } } Looking for old book, SF, artificial world, different zones for different species that visitors "inhabit" Proper subspaces of $ R^n $ I'm trying to prove that proper subspaces of $ R^n $ are closed and have empty interiors.  To prove that they are closed I'm trying to use the fact that inverse images of closed sets are closed sets by continuous functions. So I'm trying to find a linear map such that a proper subspace of $ R^n $ is its Kernel but I don't know how to express it so that it would work on all dimensions.  Regarding the fact that they have empty interiors, I really don't know what to do.  Thanks in advance. How to manage a redirect request after a jQuery Ajax call A number of times I have encountered in text-books and articles that neutrinos might contribute only a small fraction to dark matter. The reason has to do with the fact that if all of the dark matter consisted of neutrinos, then small-scale structures in the Universe could not have formed yet, because, as they say, neutrinos "wash out" small fluctuations. However, none of these texts provided a reference to any specific sources explaining in detail what is meant by "washing out". After all, neutrinos are notorious in their weak interaction with baryonic matter, so if there is a small-scale fluctuation of baryons, then how background neutrinos can prevent it from growing further if they practically do not interact with baryons? I guess the question boils down to calculating cross-sections of interactions at specific temperatures. I would appreciate comments and references to sources addressing this particular issue.
