Over the past week or so, I've been trying to create a bootable USB on Xubuntu for Windows. It seems like everything has more or less been unsuccessful, with varying degrees of success.   Using the dd command doesn't make the .ISO file bootable on the usb, and UNetBootin isn't able to create windows bootable USBs. I've tried to run Wine to run Rufus, a program that creates bootable USBs on Windows, but it was unable to find my USB while it was mounted. I've tried CrossOver to install a multitude of ISO burning programs, but none have worked so far. I'm at the end of my rope,  and I'm wondering if there's anything else I should be doing or something I may have missed.   I am running Xubuntu 16.04 LTS.
I'd like to create a Windows bootable USB stick, but I don't have a Windows machine with me at the moment to do so. How could I achieve the same using Ubuntu?
Difficulty in finding a counterexample Inline suggested edit reviews are truncated in medium-width windows When reviewing a suggested edit inline (not from the queue) on a site with the new “responsive” design, at a window width where normal content does fit, the diff window is truncated on both sides, as is the edit window after cliking “Improve Edit” or “Reject and Edit”.    This is from  which happened to have a pending suggested edit at the time, after clicking the edit(1) button. Note how the scroll bar is all the way to the left, but there's content that vanishes to the left of the window. That's in Chrome 67.0.3396.87 on Linux at zoom level 100%, with a window width of 800.  Note that I'm not complaining that the user interface isn't responsive yet (although now that this has been deployed to SO I'd expect it to be), but that the interface is completely unusable even with scrolling. In sites with the old UI, you can see all the content even if it requires scrolling.  Reviews done from the suggested edit review queue are ok (not responsive, but you can see the content by scrolling). Inline edits are ok. The problem is specific to inline suggested edit reviews.

Making some tests in Windows XP for customizing a user interface in QGIS 1.8 (see ), I have unchecked, among other options, the Settings Menu. This means that, after restarting QGIS, there's no way of recovering the older settings because there is not already a Setting Menu. So, I cannot reload any ini file.  For your information, as a precaution, previously I have saved in a folder both the original ini file, with all the options, and the customized ini file with only some options (of course, not included here the necessary Settings Menu).  Before reinstalling QGIS (version 1,8), I would like to try other smarter options if there's any. Where and what does QGIS look at where this applications starts? This bug was found on a couch in . The couch, and the two beds in the room show no signs of other bugs. Is this a bed bug that I should worry about or something harmless? It was slightly larger than a common tick. Export iMessages in human readable form for archival I have a long (several months' worth) iMessage conversation with a contact.  He lost these messages when he re-installed his OS, but I still have the archive.  There is some important information there that we'd like to keep.  Is there a simple way to export this conversation for archival in a human readable form, and also keep any images?  I can select parts of the conversation, copy it to the clipboard and paste it into a rich text document, but this discards all images.  I'm looking for a way that keeps the images.  Note: I use iMessage on OS X only, not iOS.  (Ideally I'd also like to export all non-image file attachments, but I'm not expecting that this will be possible.) I was told that the Galilean relative velocity rule does not apply to the speed of light. No matter how fast two objects are moving, the speed of light will remain same for both of them.   How and why is this possible?   Also, why can't anything travel faster than light? Skip empty rasters in ArcGIS I'm trying to write some code to skip over empty raster sets when converting rasters to point (the empty sets stop the conversion, leaving me with a half complete model run).  I know that I can identify empty rasters using the ALLNODATA result from "Get Raster Properties" .  I know I can delete rasters using the Delete.management tool.  I know I should be able to create a branch using calculate value.  But I'm inexperienced with python and modelbuilder, and haven't been able to put this all together. Could someone help me figure out what I am doing wrong? My code and an image of the modelbuilder setup are below.  def fn(Property):  #Import modules      import arcpy  #ifelse statement if Property == "1":             return "true" elif Property == "0":            return "false" Can a PC with the Alert feat alert his friends? I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 with GNOME 3. How can I show all open windows of a certain application using the sidebar (aka Ubuntu Dock)? Right now I have to right-click and select "all windows" to see my other open windows.   Is there a quicker way to do this? Accourding to ,   We often use "been to" when we refer to completed visits to a place:  Have you ever been to Budapest?  Not: Have you ever gone to Budapest?  If the visit is not complete, we use "gone to".  Joan’s just gone to the shop. She’ll be back in about ten minutes. (Joan has not yet returned from the shop.)  Joan’s just been to the shop. She bought some cakes. Would you like one? (Joan has returned from the shop.)  Now, does that rule apply to the  "Have been on a trip" &amp; "Have gone on a trip"?  So, "I have been on a trip" (I completed the trip &amp; currently I am staying at home)  "I have gone on a trip" (I haven't completed the trip &amp; currently I am on the trip)  And what about "gone crazy" &amp; "been crazy".  Does "He has gone crazy" mean now he is still crazy?  Does "He has been crazy" mean now he is not crazy any more?  Are there any differences between "Have been on a trip" vs "Have gone on a trip" and "Have been crazy" vs "Have gone crazy"?  Note: I am not asking about "been to" or "gone to". I am asking about "been on a trip" &amp; "gone on a trip". Do we apply the same rule of "been to" or "gone to" to "been on a trip" &amp; "gone on a trip"?  Note2:  seems to prove that my thinking is right. Plugin or brush for transforming a photo to a fractal in gimp? Folks,  I've been looking all over for a plugin or brush that will help me take a photo and reduce it to that 'electric look' (or fractal?) that i'm seeing in various places. I'd vastly prefer one for Gimp.  Does anyone know how these are being done? I'm seening references to fractalius for photoshop, but what about gimp?  Examples: In SQL Server, how do I generate a CREATE TABLE statement for a given table? I've spent a good amount of time coming up with solution to this problem, so in the spirit of , I'm posting it here, since I think it might be useful to others.   If anyone has a better script, or anything to add, please post it.  Edit: Yes guys, I know how to do it in Management Studio - but I needed to be able to do it from within another application. If $a, b$ are positive real numbers and $a+b = 1$, prove that :  $$\left(a+\frac{1}{a}\right)^2 + \left(b+\frac{1}{b}\right)^2 \geq \frac{25}{2}$$  I can see that the value $\frac{25}2$ is attained for $a=b=\frac12$. But I do not know how to show that this is the minimal possible value.  Thank you. Heartbleed: What is it and what are options to mitigate it? How can I run a Minecraft Server on multiple CPU cores? I am working on setting up a Minecraft server on a machine I have at home. This particular machine has two quad-core CPUs running at 2.0Ghz so I would like to take advantage of the number of cores and run a server with 4 or 6 of the cores. My server of choice is CraftBukkit, the latest version of which is craftbukkit-1.4.7-R1.0 and launched with a start-up script of:  "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -Xms1G -Xmx8G -jar craftbukkit-1.4.7-R1.0.jar"   The  says:     Minecraft servers, as of 1.1.0, can use multiple cores, so now they will not sit idle.   but does not really expand on this.  My questions, then:   Is it possible to set the number of cores the server uses? How do I do it - via start-up options, or other methods? Is it really worth it and would it make that much of a difference with a lot of players? Does a single photon's energy depend on frequency?
