TeX definitions of `` and '' Where and how does TeX define the character sequence `` and '' ?  From the TeX * prompt, how does one "show" the definition?
What are the TeX definitions for the hyphen and dashes -, --, and ---? I've tried latexdef which does not handle --- as the operand. And \texemdash is defined as a character. So that leaves me once again leaning on the collective wisdom of the group :)
Position of a relative clause before/after a verb I'm not sure about the sentence structure below:  All kinds of problems arise that smaller animals or plants do not have to cope with.  It looks like that works as a relative pronoun for all kinds of problems, but I couldn't find such usage in my dictionary or online. This sentence could be divided into  There are all kinds of problems. Smaller animals or plants do not have to cope with all kinds of problems.  But, I can't figure out where 'arise' fits. If you have any thoughts, please share them. There are some .exe and .dll files belonging to some programs on my laptop which communicate with the internet without my permission (for self-update generally). I want to prevent those files one by one from accessing the internet. I don't want to install any external firewalls. I'm using Windows 7 Home Pro and if this can be done by Windows Firewall, it's OK. I took a look at Windows Firewall but couldn't find a setting to disable file access. What's the best way to animate an illustration for the web? I have a couple of illustrations done in Illustrator and I am planing to animate it for a website that I am working on, I've heard of  toolkit with flash, but is it the best way to go or is there another "better" way of doing it?  Here's an example of the kind of animations I am aiming for: How do I turn off some formats in GeoServer's WMS? I have published a couple of layers on my Geoserver.  To be complaint with the T&amp;C of my data provider, I need to block the access of some of those layers as Vector data. Hence I have already blocked the WFS services on these Layers.  I came to know that even on the WMS service, you can get Vector Data, if you use GeoRSS and some of the .   How do I block GeoRSS, SVG &amp; UTFGrid as formats in the WMS Service? Moving Around Other creatures      You can move through a nonhostile creature's space [but] you can't willingly end your move in its space.   Is that "end your move" at the end of your turn or if you stop to attack? I had a player who wanted to move into another friendly character's space, attack a hostile, then sidestep behind a wall. Is there a word to describe someone who tends to disagree with others only to upset them? What's the word to describe someone who acts arrogantly and always disagrees with others unreasonably in order to upset people around him/her?  [I'm not looking for adjectives like unpleasant, annoying, unfriendly, rude, I'm looking for a more specific term like opinionated, didactic, loquacious, gregarious ]  I think I'd come across it before but I've forgotten what it is.. How to align right within equation array Several badge descriptions contain raw HTML I was reading through some badge descriptions and noticed that Synonymizer's description needs to be updated. As it stands, there is raw HTML (an href) in the description:    EDIT: after reading comments by @ColeJohnson, I have come to the understanding that this post comes off as whiny. I want to make it very clear that I wasn't ever trying to complain. My first reaction was to fix the perceived error myself. When I realized I was unable to do so, I figured the best course of action would be to find someone who would be able to make the necessary edits. Hence the post here.

And now I am unable to chmod it back.. or use any of my other system programs. Luckily this is on a VM I've been toying with, but is there any way to resolve this? The system is Ubuntu Server 12.10.   I have attempted to restart into recovery mode, unfortunately now I am unable to boot into the system at all due to permissions not granting some programs after init-bottom availability to run- the system just hangs. This is what I see:  Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done [   37.062059] init: Failed to spawn friendly-recovery pre-start process: unable to execute: Permission denied [   37.084744]  init: Failed to spawn friendly-recovery post-stop process: unable to execute: Permission denied [   37.101333] init: plymouth main process (220) killed by ABRT signal   After this the computer hangs. The IPA symbol for the labiodental flap (ⱱ) Starting scheduled task by detecting connection of USB device I know it has been discussed that it is not possible to start an application from an usb drive upon connection due to limitations of autorun (or autoplay??) in Win 7. But it is possible to create a scheduled task having an event type trigger. Surely there must be an event occurring when the drive -- or any USB device, for that matter -- is connected.    Does anybody have the slightest idea which Event ID should I use? Or at least what type of event? Where can I find the event in event viewer? How can I break an align environment for a paragraph? I would like to have two displayed equations, broken by a short paragraph, but with aligned equal signs (as if using the align environment).  Is there some way to "break" the align environment temporarily? I am a total newbie to Ubuntu, and I'm not sure what to do here. I have a Toshiba Chromebook. I had a friend install the latest version of Ubuntu on it for me. For a while, the audio in Ubuntu was working fine, but now I can't hear any audio whatsoever.  How can I fix this? "Its" as a Possessive Pronoun Finding $\int^{\infty}_{0}\frac{\ln^2(x)}{(1-x^2)^2} dx$ What communication can be intercepted by network I'm connected over VPN to? I have to connect to client's network over VPN, and I was wondering if the client can intercept (and read) my Google Talk messages (or any other IM communication) while I'm VPN-ing.  My main concern is them having access to our internal conversations.  Suggest workarounds if you have any.
