I observed that everytime when I download something using apt it usually downloads below 1mbps, but my internet speed is like 1gbps(700-800 mbps) using wireless connection. How can I allow more bandwidth?
Downloading from the main Ubuntu archive is slow even when it's not release day, how can I get apt-get to automatically use a mirror that is close to me?

How large is it possible for a PC to get? How large is it possible for a PC to get?  For clarity, here are my parameters:   This is about size categories, not 'feet' or 'inches' or 'meters' or any other precise measurement. This is about Medium to Large to Huge to Gargantuan categories.  This is for an NPC charlatan using this to trick people. (It's an NPC but will have a full PC sheet, so the distinction between PC and NPC doesn't matter). Any means of size category enlargement works for this purpose, including magic spells, magic items, etc. Illusions do not count because it's about actually becoming larger, not just casting an illusion of a gargantuan giant version of yourself.  The character must remain the same physical structure. Polymorphing into a Gargantuan Dragon would not satisfy the need here. Consumable items are fine. This does not need to be permanent. I'm trying to determine if 1317 and 116 can be written as the sum of three squares?  I have the condition that if it is not of the form $4^{\alpha}(8k+7)$ then it can be written as a sum of three squares, but how do I use this condition to work it out?  Thank you Standard library sort and user defined types SE Android app for tablet has bad formatting on feed The lines wrap so much on v1.0.85 that only a few items can be displayed.  Edit: This is on the world's most low end tablet, Azpen A727.  Screenshots of the old:    and new, showing loss of quality I recently discovered that my computer is 64-bit. I have backed up my Home folder, and reinstalled Ubuntu. The reinstall wasn't nearly as painful as I thought. There is one thing that I can't quite seem to figure out: how do I get the 64-bit Firefox Beta build? I always get the Beta builds, but I want to take advantage of the 64-bit architecture of my computer.  says that Mozilla has come out with a 64-bit version of Firefox, but I can't seem to find it.  I do understand  of using a 64-bit browser, but I've decided to jump right in and do it anyway. (Flash and Java are already 64-bit, and who cares about Silverlight, since it's not for Linux anyway?)  There's only one issue, and it's a big one: I can't find the 64-bit Beta PPA!!! (I really hate using .tar.gz files, but I'd be willing to do that as long as I could still access Firefox via the Launcher. Oh, speaking of which, I don't understand .tar.gz files. Once, I managed to run one (the Dropbox Beta build,) but I have no idea whatsoever on how to install them: as in, click on the icon and go.) Unable to access outside service from inside LAN I have a weird port forwarding problem. I tried to open my port 22 to the outside network. I was able to access it as long as I am not inside the LAN. I can access it from my office for example. But from within the LAN, I can access the port using the local ip, but I can't access the port using the external IP. It's as if the router is blocking the loopback. I've check all my router settings, turned off anything firewall/filtering related. Any ideas? How can I know which radio button is selected via jQuery? Why does the Moon not revolve around the Sun directly? Why is there a factor of $4\pi$ in certain force equations? I mean to ask why there is $4\pi$ present in force equations governing electricity? Though all objects in universe are not spherical and circular, the constant of proportionality in both equations contain $4\pi$. Why? Okay the scenario I'm thinking of is as follows:   I control a ,  and 3 untapped lands (2 swamps, 1 Island to be perdantic). In my opponents turn he casts a burn spell to kill my duskmantle.   I activate his first ability in response.   The way I am hoping the following interactions will go is:   Duskmantles ability will hit the stack at the top and resolve The burn spell resolves dealing its damage to Duskmantle The burn spell card hits the graveyard and triggers the infinite loop for duskmantle and mindcrank killing my opponent Duskmantle perishes   Is this the way that the stack would pan out? Do I win in this situation regardless of the stack being correct or not above? (I am not fully familiar with how the stack really works in magic) You can see the cards from my deck . I wanted to use my android phone as a proxy server, meaning that I wanted to be able to use the IP on the phone as a proxy, so all request and response are received on the phone and forwarded back to the original requestor.

How come Dropbox gets a non-generic icon in Finder's sidebar, when other directories like Google Drive and Sites (native in OS X before Lion) all have the same generic one?    How can I customise the icons used by the folders in the sidebar? OS X used to show individual icons of all folders there — not any longer.
