I'm currently renting a house, with my lease up in a few months. The owner wants to sell, and I want to buy. Neither of us have real estate agents at this point. I live in CA.

He was going to sell to Open Door for a price that I know, say 500k. Open Door typically takes a minimum of 6%-- so I'm considering offering 6% less than that price (so, 470k), since I know he was willing to accept that amount. (And open door isn't currently purchasing anymore during COVID anyway, and I'm aware the seller is very ready to wash his hands of this property he inherited.)

Contingent on results of an inspection, I would be buying the house as is. Unless there are *major* repairs necessary, I already kno

I want to remotely run a script that needs root permissions. I don't want to allow root login with ssh though. How do I do this?

I just set up a server at home to host a small personal website (but mostly to learn how to do it). Now I'd like to be able to edit the site and add files to it from computers on or off the network. I'd also like to be able to set who can see these files.

I have some general questions:

• Can I do this with just the (LAMP) server setup I have, or does a server necessarily send information only one way?
• Do I use something like FTP for the file transfer, and SSH to change file permissions, etc?
• What if I want someone else to be able to upload something?
• As a side question, would it be possible as a future project to be able to upload images to the server directly from a cell phone?

I have a working (so far, I think) LAMP server which is assigned a static IP by my router, and I can access the server from other computers on the local network with "http://serverlocalip."

I configured port forwarding on the router to send the router's port 80 requests to the server's port 80 (and 443 to 443). Apache2 ports.conf has a "Listen 80" (and Listen 443) directive. An online port checker says my port 80 is open.

However, shouldn't I now be able to access the server by http://routerWANIP:80? All connection attempts time out. Do I still have a configuration/access problem? How do I fix this?

Thank you!

Edit (in case this matters): It's Ubuntu 10.10 on PowerPC; I install

I posted this in r/linuxquestions last night but haven't had much luck, and I can't find anything on the ubuntu forums about this specific problem, so I'll try my luck here :)

I have two questions...

Question 1: I created a bootable USB with Ubuntu 10.10 and have configured my old iBook G4's Open Firmware to boot from it. I think I've finally done this part correctly, as far as I can tell.

For some reason, after trying to boot from this, my screen resolution changes (or something) and I now appear to have four unreadably tiny command prompts at the top of my regular screen. I have no idea what I'm being prompted for, since I can't read it-- is this yaboot? The ubuntu installer? Any

I have no idea what I'm being prompted for, since I can't read it. Any ideas why this would happen, or how I can fix it?

Is the Pauli exclusion principle empirical, or derived from some more general principle?

Also (related), is there a more precise meaning to "two electrons can't share the same wavefunction?" Does can't mean that there are no same-wavefunction two-electron states, or that to put two electrons in this state would require such high energies that would make talking about 'exactly two' electrons invalid?

Edit: This is the PEP as I have always learned it (and as the Wikipedia page on the PEP states it 'rigorously'): "for two identical fermions, the total wave function is anti-symmetric." I am asking for an explanation of why, for fermions only, an antisymmetric wavefunction is required. I d

I am doing some experimentation with my kernel configuration, so I want to be able to make successive patches or .config changes. I don't want to run make-kpg clean each time, since compiling takes forever.

Is there a way to recompile with the changes without doing this?

From my understanding, all software installation on Linux is done with the same package manager which installs software; but in Windows (and Mac OS X?) the installer program is particular to each software package and is included with those files. Is that correct?

So I was wondering, what are the reasons you would want to do this one way or the other? (Edit: From a CS/technical point of view.)

My boyfriend suggested mixing our two open containers of milk to consolidate. I vetoed in mild disgust, but can't defend my position as logical.

Would this bother anyone else, or would you just mix and drink away?

I swear I remember falling down the basement stairs when I was about four. For some reason, I think I was also wearing a sombrero.

But I have this memory from the third person, from a 'camera angle' from above me and facing me.

OK, so this probably never actually happened for many reasons (the sombrero being a big one) but it feels as real as any other memory.

Here's the Wikipedia page.

It is such a great book, and I have never met anyone who has read it (except my Dad, who recommended it to me, and two people I got to read it). Anyone?
