I have a mac mini a1347  (Oct 2012 ) model. In the spec it says "64-bit enabled". What does 64-bit enabled mean?
What is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit Ubuntu? I've heard the 64-bit platform performs better and can detect more than 4GB of RAM. Also, while some apps haven't ported to 64-bit yet, ia32-libs lets a 64-bit machine run them.  If so, why not promote 64-bit over 32-bit?
Make mod_wsgi use python2.7.2 instead of python2.6? i am running Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS  and it came pre-packed with python2.6 but i need to replace it with python2.7.2.   (The reason is simple, 2.7 has a lot of features backported from 3 )  i had installed python2.7.2 using  ./configure make make altinstall   the altinstall option installed it, without touching the system default version, to /usr/local/lib/python2.7 and placed the interpreter in /usr/local/bin/python2.7  Then to help mod_wsgi find python2.7 i added the following to /etc/apache2/sites-available/wsgisite  WSGIPythonHome /usr/local   i start apache and run a test wsgi app BUT i am greeted by python 2.6.5  and not Python2.7  Later i replaced the default python simlink to point to python 2.7  ln -f /usr/local/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python   Now typing 'python' on the console opens python2.7 but somehow mod_wsgi still picks up python2.6  Next i tried,  PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH export PATH   then do a quick restart apache, but yet again its python2.6 !!    Here is my $PATH  /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games   contents of /etc/apache2/sites-available/wsgisite  WSGIPythonHome /usr/local   &lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;      ServerName wsgitest.local     DocumentRoot /home/wwwhost/pydocs/wsgi     &lt;Directory /home/wwwhost/pydocs/wsgi&gt;         Order allow,deny         Allow from all     &lt;/Directory&gt;      WSGIScriptAlias / /home/wwwhost/pydocs/wsgi/app.wsgi  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;   app.wsgi  import sys  def application(environ, start_response):     status = '200 OK'     output = sys.version      response_headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain'),                         ('Content-Length', str(len(output)))]     start_response(status, response_headers)      return [output]   Apache error.log  'import site' failed; use -v for traceback [Sun Jun 19 00:27:21 2011] [info] mod_wsgi (pid=23235): Initializing Python.

Has anybody ever managed to make mod_wsgi run on a non-system default version of python ? How to get the location of a program in Ubuntu? For example I have Oracle, how to get the folder racine (location) of Oracle? I'm using Ubuntu and I'm trying to connect to another machine in a different network using remote desktop.   In Windows7 I have made the following in order to activate remote desktop:   I've gone to computer -> properties -> remote settings I've selected the option: "Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop I've opened "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" In inbound rules I've enabled the rules for remote desktop (public and domain)   I have also installed Remmina in the Ubuntu machine.  For configuring it I did the following steps:   Selected the RDP protocol In the server input I have written the Windows machine public IP. In username / password I have typed my login credentials (the same as my Windows admin account)   But when I try to connect I get this error message:  "Unable to connect to RDP server 89.130.251.160"  If I ping my Windows7 machine, I have a correct response.  Any suggestions? How to restrict some websites in Ubuntu 14.04 I would like to restrict some websites to be surfed. I mean I want to prevent access to some websites. Please guide me on how to do the same in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. A question I'm struggling with is to prove or disprove that the automorphism group of a finite cyclic group must be cyclic. I think the statement is false but have not been able to come up with a counterexample.  Thank you for any assistance you can provide. How do I sort a list of dictionaries by a value of the dictionary? I have a list of dictionaries and want each item to be sorted by a specific value. Take into consideration the list: [{'name':'Homer', 'age':39}, {'name':'Bart', 'age':10}]  When sorted by name, it should become: [{'name':'Bart', 'age':10}, {'name':'Homer', 'age':39}] When to use “that” and when to use “which”, especially in relative clauses When is it appropriate to use that as opposed to which with relative clauses? When cutting/copying some cells to paste them into another sheet/page, sometimes Excel freezes/locks up and fades out. At the top toolbar it says in brackets "not responding".  Eventually, I must click 'X' to close the program. It offers to wait for the program to respond, but never does – it just does nothing until I finally close it, where it offers to recover files etc.   Is there an issue with memory here? What can I do to stop it locking up? Implement a Selective Comment Ban I have a character playing a multiclass Barbarian/Monk.

Rules for "on", "at", and "in": preposition of time Do all droids have a four alphanumeric character name and does this have any significance? So a company decides to raise money by selling shares of its stock. The stock is offered at an initial price of their determination. The stock is then traded in a market where forces of supply and demand, as well as speculation, affect its price.  When a company performs well (or makes decisions that will likely increase the company's earnings in the future), more people want to buy that stock than do people wanting to sell it. This creates demand for that stock which causes its sell/bid prices rise. When a company performs poorly, the opposite occurs; more people want to sell the stock than want to buy. This creates a surplus that causes sell/bid prices to fall.  Understanding this, people speculate over company performance to determine the future behavior of a stock, and attempt to "buy low, sell high" or "borrow high, return low" in order to make a profit.  But my question is regarding the first part of that process. What is it about company performance that causes the perceived value of its stock to rise? This is especially perplexing since I would guess that most people don't exercise their voting rights, and many stocks don't pay dividends.  It's not like a shareholder has any direct financial gains from increased company earnings (speculative stock pricing notwithstanding).  What is the intrinsic value of the stock?  It seems to me that all participants in a stock market tacitly agree that stock price will have a direct correlation with company performance. So another way of asking the question is, would an opposite agreement hold? What financially (this isn't a question about logistics, communication, or feasibility) stops all participants in a market from agreeing to value a particular company's stock inversely with respect to the company's performance?  Since I feel like I can't quite nail down my question, another form of it would be, why is stock market behavior driven by company performance?

NetworkOnMainThreadException Trying to install Atom. Unable to start Clangd language server I have a new computer with a Seagate ST500DM002 SATA internal hard drive.  I am trying to install Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit on it but the installer does not recognize/detect/see the hard drive. When I reach the Installation type step, the panel which is supposed to show devices and partitions looks empty.  sudo fdisk -l shows only /dev/sda1, the USB drive from which I am running the installation. I have already tried the following two solutions without any success:   sudo apt-get remove dmraid Switch the SATA mode in the BIOS from IDE to AHCI   I am sure it's not a hardware related problem as I have already successfully installed another operating system on the same computer.

How to scale and shift voltage signal? I want to scale and shift my voltage signal by below relation:  $$ V_{out} = \frac {10} {12} \cdot V_{in} - 10 $$  Indeed my primary voltage is from 0v to 24v and I want to put it from -10v to +10v.  I try to use the below circuit but its gain is always greater than 1.    Image from SLOA097 TI.  Does anyone know how I can achieve my goal? I have ±12v and 5v power lines.  EDIT: According to the innovative solution by scorpdaddy, I thought it would be valuable to edit my question:   High input impedance is required to decrease load effects. How can it be achieved? How can I achieve the more and more accuracy? It seems that a number of the statistical packages that I use wrap these two concepts together. However, I'm wondering if there are different assumptions or data 'formalities' that must be true to use one over the other. A real example would be incredibly useful.
