I am using QGIS 2.8.5 Wien and I am trying to install LAStools toolbox. I followed the instructions in  to install it.  I did everything said on the link, but when I tried to run it, it said:     missing dependency. this algorithm cannot be run :-( lastools folder is not configured. please configure it before running lastools algorithms.
To be honest I'm not sure how to run LAStools from within QGIS 2.8. I'm trying to learn by experimentation.  QGIS shows all the LAStools in the toolbox  If I double click on a LAStool in the toolbox I get the following message:     Missing dependency. This algorithm cannot run :-(   LAStools folder is not configured. Please configure it before running LAStools algorithms.   I can't find any LAStools *.exe files anywhere within my QGIS Wien file structure.  That makes me wonder how I could have LAStools show in the toolbox.  Could it be a *.dll somewhere?  What am I doing wrong?
How to search for email of a particular date from years ago in Gmail There are similar questions and several answers. I tried to follow the methods provided in the answers.  They did not work. So I am going to ask it again with more specifics.  I only knew the date of the email in the in-box in 2012 and the content of it but did not know the exact wording of the subject. Is it possible to find this email? What should be taken into consideration when mixing fluxx sets?   I played a game of Stoner and Zombie fluxx mixed the other day, and I found it super fun. It add variance to the theming, and especially with the Stoner fluxx (if you're playing with the, ahem, special rules) and stretches it out.   What are the potential pitfalls of mixing sets, and what else should be taken into consideration? How to show only hidden files in Terminal? I have a directory that contains thousands of files, some of them are hidden.  The command ls -a list all files, including hidden ones, but I need just to list hidden files.  What command should I use? Are there constants in JavaScript? Is there a way to use constants in JavaScript?  If not, what's the common practice for specifying variables that are used as constants? In Uzbekistan I was stopped, searched and questioned six times in one day.  At the border with Tajikistan, one official tried hiding my paperwork to elicit something from me.  In Kyrgyzstan, I was physically harassed and detained by the police, and about US$30 taken while they searched everything on me and a Dutch backpacker I was going to get food with.  I'm not particularly dodgy looking - it's happening to a lot of backpackers I meet.  Tourists are apparently a prime target for corrupt officials.  Any suggestions or tactics for avoiding these occurrences?  Aside from carrying only photocopies of your passport so that they can't hold your passport ransom, I've not heard many successful tips... Compile and install rtl8192cu driver Can someone help me with this problem ? I am new to Linux, so I do not know commands and I never did something like installing or compiling with command-line.  I bought WiFi adapter from Edimax, model EW-7811UN for my PC (not laptop, so I do not have wifi card, only ethernet). When I go through guide on CD, I came across a version of kernel. It said I need version 2.6, but I have 3.5.0-22-generic.   I got errors like I do not have file or folder etc. Can someone tell me where I can download compiled driver and where I need to put it? Or some other advice. I don't want downgrade kernel when it is not necessary. When should I use the new keyword in C++? If you draw two cards, what is the probability that the second card is a queen? We had this question arise in class today and I still don't understand the answer given. We were to assume that drawing cards are independent events. We were asked what the probability that the second card drawn is a queen if we take two from the deck. The answer given was 4/52, which seems counter-intuitive to me. How is the probability still 4/52 if there was a card drawn before it? What if the first card drawn was a queen? Whenever I am given a system type with a certain transfer function, I am always asked to proceed to find out the 1. impulse response and 2. step response of the system. My question is, what is so special about these two response types that other responses, like for example parabolic response, is not what I am asked to find out? Best choice between using \\ or leaving space after each paragraph to end the paragraph How can I parse dates and convert time zones in Perl? We have a SQL Server 2012 instance that contains a database with data for many product lines.   We are looking for a way to take subsets of this data into another database on the same instance.  This doesn't have to be continuous as we are looking for ways to make it easy to export backups of the subsets that we can send out to vendors (we have a company that loads this data into their own sql server to produce a product we sell, naturally its huge and we want to trim it down to just the product lines they work with on a regular enough basis) or use to load SQLite DB's for use with offline applications.  ProductDB - the superset of all product line data.  ProductLine1DB - A subset identical in structure to ProductDB, but with data only relevant to product line 1.  ProductLine2DB - A subset identical in structure to ProductDB, but with data only relevant to product line 2.  This can be done nightly, weekly, as often as we need to but not a continuous replication.  We don't want to add in distributor servers or even extra subscriber servers. We would like the replication to happen on the same server with the subscriber databases being on the same server.  Is this a good candidate for transactional replication?  Why or why not?  We obviously have other options to load this data, but it seems like this might be a good case to use something like transactional replication. I've heard its powerful but prone to issues when not setup optimally.  Note: I am not a DBA, simply a developer, but we are currently looking for a new DBA and some of us are taking over duties like this temporarily. In Ubuntu 13.04 there was an option to use the PPA by Relan in order to get ExFat functionality. Seeing that in Ubuntu this functionality is now available from the repositories without the PPA I tried this but failed to make it work.  So my question is how do I enable exfat support? When do you use POST and when do you use GET? Class imbalance in Supervised Machine Learning Suppose I am given a $2$x$2$ matrix $A=$ \begin{pmatrix} a &amp; b \\ c &amp; d \end{pmatrix}  And an initial vector $x_n$ = \begin{pmatrix} x_0 \\ y_0\end{pmatrix}.  Under repeated iteration $x_{n+1} = Ax_n$, we find that $x_{n+1}$ converges to a line in the direction of the $eigenvector$  of $A$ of the form $X$= $[u,mu]$ where $m$ is the slope of the line.  I know that this process somehow also involves the largest $eigenvalue, \lambda,$ of $A$, though I am unsure how it connects.  My question is: How does the largest eigenvalue connect to this repeated iteration, how do I find the slope of the line of convergence $m$, and what is meant by the "direction of the eigenvector"? gedit "cannot open display" , on remote computer , using ssh - Ubuntu 12.04 Possible Duplicate:          I am getting the following error message when using ssh to log into a remote machine:      gedit: cannot open display   I am using ssh in - Ubuntu 12.04. How to enable/disable a specific graphic card? Suppose that $a_1,a_2, \cdots, a_n$ are $n$ different integers. Then $[(x-a_1)(x-a_2) \cdots (x-a_n)]^2 +1$ is irreducible over $\mathbb Q$.
