How to do dual bootable installation for Acer F5-573G-59V4.
I'm absolutely new to Linux. I would like to know how to install Ubuntu alongside the pre-installed Windows 8+ OS.  Should I do it with Wubi, or through the Live USB/DVD?  What steps do I need to take to correctly install Ubuntu?
Lookup City and State by Zip Google Geocode Api Why does the question's closed status disappear when clicking to load a new edit? I've come across a small issue which occurs when a question has been closed but the question itself or one of its answers are being edited.  Steps to reproduce:   Visit a closed question. (even closed years ago)   In a different tab or browser, edit the question or one of its answers. "an edit has been made to this post; click to load" message will appear above the edited post in the first tab/browser, click it. The .question-status div becomes hidden, which includes the closed notice below a question and, for a duplicate-closed question, the list of duplicates above the question body. This gives the appearance that the question is no longer closed (until you refresh).   Some screenshots:                I know it isn't common/important but it did confuse me when looking at a particularly bad question - I thought it had been reopened.   Is this an intentional feature? If so, what was the thinking behind it?

My son is born on October 1st three years ago. My wife is pregnant again and the calculated delivery date is October 22nd. Both children are boys, 3 years apart. We might end in a situation where the delivery is earlier, for reasons irrelevant to this question.   I believe that around their birthdays is the only time in the whole year that the actual date matters. It really does boil down to practical considerations around patience (gifts) and planning. I think that if there is, say, a week or more between the birthdays then it's easy to separate but if the difference is only a very few days then it gets complicated, and that's the situation I'd like to avoid.  I know from friends that having the same birthday makes events easier to plan, from the parents' perspective. It would also remove the unhappiness of a small child saying "why does he get presents today and I don't." Being a twin, and married to one, I know that there's nothing problematic in sharing a birthday as long as both get their fair share of attention.    What are practical arguments for, and against, choosing the same birthday for the second child? What considerations apply when the second child's birthday is only a very few days after the elder sibling's? Why aren't my turtles breeding? 'was' versus 'had been' When I asked the driver/ to come with me to the temple/ he had been reluctant./ No error.   I think instead of 'had been', there should be 'was'. Even the answer key points that the error is in the 'he had been reluctant' part. But I am not sure why exactly is 'had been' wrong.  If we replace the first part with 'when I had asked the driver', would that make 'had been' in the third part correct? If I have multiple objects selected can I use scaling to make the objects closer together (without rescaling the objects)? How would you prove that the generating function of $\binom{2n}{n}$ is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-4x}}$?  More precisely, prove that( for $|x|&lt;\frac{1}{4}$ ):  $$\sum^{\infty}_{n=0}x^n\binom{2n}{n}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-4x}}$$  Background: I was trying to solve $$S=\sum^{\infty}_{n=0}\frac{(2n+1)!}{8^n(n!)^2}=\sum^{\infty}_{n=0}\frac{(2n+1)}{8^n}\binom{2n}{n}$$ Which if we let $f(x)$ be the generating function in question, would be simply $$f(x)+2xf'(x)$$ With $x=\frac{1}{8}$. Is there a simple proof of the first identity?  states it without a proper reference ( states it without proof). Is there an easier way of calculating $S$? (which is $\sqrt{8}$, by the way) How to define a bijection between $(0,1)$ and $(0,1]$?   Or any other open and closed intervals?   If the intervals are both open like $(-1,2)\text{ and }(-5,4)$ I do a cheap trick (don't know if that's how you're supposed to do it): I make a function $f : (-1, 2)\rightarrow (-5, 4)$ of the form $f(x)=mx+b$ by \begin{align*} -5 = f(-1) &amp;= m(-1)+b \\ 4 = f(2) &amp;= m(2) + b \end{align*} Solving for $m$ and $b$ I find $m=3\text{ and }b=-2$ so then $f(x)=3x-2.$  Then I show that $f$ is a bijection by showing that it is injective and surjective. Imagine that you want to develop a non-trivial end-user desktop (not web) application in Python. What is the best way to structure the project's folder hierarchy?  Desirable features are ease of maintenance, IDE-friendliness, suitability for source control branching/merging, and easy generation of install packages.  In particular:   Where do you put the source? Where do you put application startup scripts? Where do you put the IDE project cruft? Where do you put the unit/acceptance tests? Where do you put non-Python data such as config files? Where do you put non-Python sources such as C++ for pyd/so binary extension modules? The derivation of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation using canonical transformations is typically done involving a type-2 generating function.  Is it possible to use a another type of generating function, namely type 1, 3 or 4? How to delete directories with path/names too long for normal delete Prove that $ m_{a} \geq m_{g} \geq m_{h} $ using strict inequalities unless $ a = b $. $ m_{a} = \frac{1}{2} (a + b) $   $ m_{g} =  \sqrt{ab} $   $ \frac{1}{m_{h}} = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b})$   Attempted Solution:  I believe I have shown the first step, which is $ m_{a} \geq m_{g} $ but i'm stuck on showing $ m_{g} \geq m_{h} $  $ \frac{a + b}{2} &gt; \sqrt{ab} $  $ (\frac{a + b}{2})^2 &gt; (\sqrt{ab})^2 $  $\frac{a^2 + 2ab + b^2}{4} &gt; ab$  $a^2 + 2ab + b^2 &gt; 4ab $  $a^2 -2ab + b^2 &gt; 0 $  $(a - b)^2 &gt; 0 $   so if $a = b$ we have $(a -b)^2 \geq 0$  Therefore, $m_{a} \geq m_{g} $  Now, i'm not sure if that is correct or not, if not can you please guide me to the complete solution or if I am correct on this part, provide a solution for $m_{g} \geq m_{h} $ /boot full of kernels – what to delete? We have some Ubuntu 16.04 servers. unattended-upgrades are automatically enabled since 16.04 and /boot is a separate partition. Due to the automatic security updates, the boot partition is running out of space with new kernels. We can't reboot the systems (for availability reasons), so the machine is still using the penultimate kernel. Which kernels should I remove? All but the current, the oldest and the newest? Do you guys have some recommendations? I have also noticed that the newest kernel has the status &quot;Half Configured&quot;. This kernel would probably not work, so should I remove this one and use an older kernel?

However, 19.10 does not have a tool icon.  How can I go to settings now? Dimensional analysis, and the notion that quantities with different units cannot be equal, is often used to justify very specific arguments, for example, you might use it to argue that a particular formula cannot possibly be the correct expression for a particular quantity. The usual approach to teaching this is to go "well kids, you can't add apples and oranges!" and then assume that the student will just find it obvious that you can't add meters and seconds.  I'm sorry, but... I don't. I'm not convinced. $5$ meters plus $10$ seconds is $15$! Screw your rules! What are the units? I don't know, I actually don't understand what that question means.  I'm specifically not convinced when this sort of thing is used to prove that certain formulae can't possibly be right. Maybe the speed of a comet is given by its period multiplied by its mass. Why not? It's a perfectly meaningful operation - just measure the quantities, multiply them, and I claim that the number you get will always equal the current speed of the comet. I don't see how "but it doesn't make sense to say mass times time is equal to distance divided by time" can be a valid counterargument, particularly because I don't really know what "mass times time" is, but that's a different issue.  If it's relevant, I'm a math student and know extremely little about physics. Using separation of variables to solve the wave equation I'm trying to teach myself separation of variables and have been following some notes for the wave equation, but there's one part which really confuses me and I'm not exactly sure how it makes the step.  For the wave equation   $$u_{tt} - c^2 u_{xx} = 0$$   with length $l$ and fixed ends, $u(0,t)=u(l,t)=0$ we seek a solution in the form $$u(x,t)=v(x)q(t)$$  and substituting this into the equation gives $$\frac{1}{q(t)}\frac{d^2 q}{dt^2}=c^2 \frac{1}{v(x)}\frac{d^2 v}{dx^2}=-\omega ^2$$   and I understand all of this so far. But when solving the equation  $$q''+\omega ^2 q = 0$$ the general solution is $$q(t)=A \cos(\omega t +\alpha)$$ where $A$ and $\alpha$ are constants - which is the part which I'm not exactly sure on how it gets to.   Could someone explain this step to me? Thanks! Let $K=F[x]/(p(x))$, where $F$ is a field, $p(x)\in F[x]$ is an irreducible polynomial.  What are all the maximal ideals in $K[y]$?  Attempt: I have an attempt, but not entirely sure it is correct.  Since $(p(x))$ is a maximal ideal in $F[x]$, this means $K$ is actually a field.  Thus $K[y]$ is a PID.  So maximal ideals in $K[y]$ are $(g(y))$ for irreducible polynomials $g(y)\in K[y]$? Characterizing Dense Subgroups of the Reals We are doing research on monitor human activities to avoid adverse events. In part of it, we did an experiment in our MoCap lap to detect the human motion to monitor his activities. We have f-curves from that motion. But we need all the xyz coordinates values for that motion for that given time (just say about 2-3 minutes) to do a scientific analysis of the data.  Do anyone have an idea how to get xyz values from f-curves?
