I have finally encountered an exciting TeX-related problem to post here: Using beamer slides with notes, certain parts of my slides disappear in the main slide when the option \setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=right} in combination with the pgfpages package is used.  When i disable the option / only compile the slides without notes, the output is fine. However, using the option, the main slide view is missing text inbetween two itemize-environments as well as an equation.  This is my MWE:  \documentclass{beamer}  \usepackage{pgfpages}  \setbeameroption{show notes on second screen=right}  \begin{document}  \begin{frame} \begin{itemize} \item content \item more content \end{itemize} \note{a note} \pause aaaand \begin{itemize} \item content \item more content \end{itemize} \begin{equation} A \mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b} \end{equation} \end{frame}  \end{document}   My question is: How can I make the annoted slides show the content that disappears when the notes are shown?    What I find exciting about his problem in particular is that for the preview above the nodes, the content missing from the slide is shown!
I have a Beamer presentation with note pages, in which everything renders just fine with pdflatex.   However, when the file is compiled using xelatex (I need to use fontspec), texts in frames after a note page are not visible -- they are rendered in white colour. This problem is reproducible when using Beamer v3.33.  %% Compile with xelatex \documentclass[handout]{beamer}  \mode&lt;handout&gt; { \setbeameroption{show notes} \RequirePackage{pgfpages} \pgfpagesuselayout{2 on 1}[a4paper,border shrink=5mm] }  \begin{document} \begin{frame} A test, A test! \note{ } \end{frame}      \begin{frame} This text does not appear! \note{ } \end{frame} \end{document}   While this problem can be solved by compiling with lualatex, I'm wondering if there's any thing one can do to make it work for xelatex?
My desktop look is empty so all I have is a nice wallpaper. My Windows taskbar has the "Taskbar Appearance" setting to "Auto-hide the taskbar". Although hidden, it leaves a thin top layer so you can still see it a bit, and where the pinned shortcuts are. Is it possible to totally have it hidden without a trace? This is a serious question. It really bugs m. How do I give players already enchanted Tools/Armour/Weapons I'm making a map where I want players to be able to choose there kits/classes. The problem I'm having with it though is giving players already enchanted Tools/Armour/Weapons.  I'm not sure if you can use the /give [player] [item] [amount] because you'll have to use the whole {} thing and I'm not sure how to make enchanted Tools/Armour/Weapons using that.  Can anyone help? Can space expand with unlimited speed? How do I pre-populate a jQuery Datepicker textbox with today's date? I have a very simple jQuery Datepicker calendar:  $(document).ready(function(){     $("#date_pretty").datepicker({      }); });   and of course in the HTML...  &lt;input type="text" size="10" value="" id="date_pretty"/&gt;   Today's date is nicely highlighted for the user when they bring up the calendar, but how do I get jQuery to pre-populate the textbox itself with today's date on page load, without the user doing anything?  99% of the time, the today's date default will be what they want. I am looking to set up Ubuntu Server as a headless NAS for my home. I would like to have file storage there, as well as a central hub for my MP3s and pictures.  What are the best packages out there to handle this? Can someone post a link to a good tutorial or post some tips?  One constraint I have is that it has to be Windows 7 friendly. By that I mean the shares and streaming should work for a Windows machine. Why does signing on to one site not sign me on to all of them? I've seen this question asked 3 times, but in none of those threads did I find a satisfactory answer.  I'm not asking about reputation: it makes sense that different sites should have different reputations.  However, consider the StackExchange drop-down menu at the top left of the screen.  When looking through the "Hot questions", the links are often to sister websites of StackExchange (programmers.stackexchange i.e.).  It doesn't make sense to me that if I go to one of those sister sites, I'm no longer logged in.  I feel like it's counterintuitive to click a link to go answer a question, only to find that you can't answer that question until you log in.  What is the reason for this?  Is there an option to do as I'm suggesting? Fast(est) and intuitive ways to look at matrix multiplication? Can I download the Winter Bash hats for use as profile picture? Can I download  and use them as my profile picture?  I actually like some of them, and want to keep them for future use. How to wait in a bash script for several subprocesses spawned from that script to finish and return exit code !=0 when any of the subprocesses ends with code !=0 ?  Simple script:  #!/bin/bash for i in `seq 0 9`; do   doCalculations $i &amp; done wait   The above script will wait for all 10 spawned subprocesses, but it will always give exit status 0 (see help wait). How can I modify this script so it will discover exit statuses of spawned subprocesses and return exit code 1 when any of subprocesses ends with code !=0?  Is there any better solution for that than collecting PIDs of the subprocesses, wait for them in order and sum exit statuses? Incremental (delta) backup of a encrypted data I have several files that I need to keep encrypted on my home hard disk.  I currently use a TrueCrypt file container, currently around 100MB in size. I need to backup this file daily, and I'm looking for an incremental backup solution.  I read that on encrypted volumes even a small change in a file would change the whole volume and prevent the use of an efficient incremental backup solution. Any ideas how to backup in this case in an efficient way which would allow incremental solution?  I currently use TrueCrypt as my backup solution and CrashPlan as my backup utility, but I'm willing to experiment with alternatives. Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory for $f\in L^1[0,2\pi]$ define $$\hat{f}(n)=\int_{0}^{2\pi} f(t)e^{-int} dt$$ for $n\in\mathbb{Z}$, $X$ is a closed linear subspace of $L^1[0,2\pi]$ such that $\sum_{n} |\hat{f}(n)|&lt;\infty$ for each $f\in X$, we need to show that there is $M&lt;\infty$ such that  $\sum_{n} |\hat{f}(n)|\le M\int_{0}^{2\pi}|f(t)|dt$ for each $f\in X$  please tell me how to solve this one, I have no clue. This works just fine:      protected void txtTest_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)     {         if (sender is TextBox) {...}      }   Is there a way to check if sender is NOT a TextBox, some kind of an equivalent of != for "is"?  Please, don't suggest moving the logic to ELSE{} :) Why do some tests have a (nonzero) minimum score? An English book tells me that the following sentence is correct:     This publication is made from paper from sustainable forests.   Shouldn't it be of paper instead? As a non-native speaker, I cannot grasp any difference between the expressions "here we go" and "there we go": both expressions seem to underline an event that is going to happen immediately.  Is there any subtle usage detail that I am missing? In the simple harmonic oscillator model, we talk about the angular frequency and I understand that this tells something about the instantaneous angular velocity of the object. For example, a simple pendulum. But what does this mean when we apply this concept to an object attached to a spring that behaves as a simple harmonic oscillator? There is no instantaneous circular motion for the object, so how can we relate the angular frequency to a system like this? Resizing an Image without losing any quality Is it a scam if the person only wants to deposit into my account, not make a withdrawal? How can I check whether a variable is defined in JavaScript? How to check whether a JavaScript variable defined in cross-browser way?  I ran into this problem when writing some JavaScript utilizing FireBug logging. I wrote some code like below:  function profileRun(f) {     // f: functions to be profiled     console.profile(f.constructor);     f();     console.profileEnd(f.constructor); }   It works fine in FireFox/FireBug, but it reports error in IE8 RC1. So, I'd like to do some checking whether console variable exists in the execution environment.  Below code works fine in FireFox, but not in IE8 RC1.   function profileRun(f) {     if (console != undefined) {         console.profile(f.constructor);     }      f();      if (console != undefined) {         console.profileEnd(f.constructor);     } }   However, if I do it this way. It works in IE8 RC1. Why?   function profileRun(f) {     if (window.console != undefined) {         console.profile(f.constructor);     }      f();      if (window.console != undefined) {         console.profileEnd(f.constructor);     } }   Is there any cross-browser way to check it?
