I thought it might be cute to introduce notebook lines in my text.  Also it may help readers from straining their eyes.  Let's use the classic filler text:     Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.      Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.      But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.   Blah blah blah.  I could like this paragraph to appear as a notebook with  a faint line, perhaps - black!20!white underneath each line.   Is this styling possible?  Here is a cute html example on       Is it possible to add these lines without resorting to adding another package like background ?
I would like to print a document with text on lined paper like a notebook like   However, I would like to be able to edit the line colours.  I would like to put the header/title in the blank white space. Is there a way to do the document above without using the background jpg?  The document is also multiple pages.   I have looked at this question too and would like to have lines only and not a grid.   Thanks!
Active Web Site as Gnome Background Is there a way to put an active website, such as Gmail, as your Desktop background in Gnome, running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit? MS Win calls it "Active Desktop". Why do soap operas have the soap opera effect? The soap opera effect occurs when frame interpolation is used. For example, if a movie is shot at 24 frames per second and then shown on a TV screen which is capable of displaying 60 frames per second then it is possible to use a computer to do motion interpolation. In other words the computer can average (interpolate) two frames and create a synthetic third frame and stick it between the two real frames.  This interpolation makes the picture look unnatural and plastic, somewhat like soap operas look on TV, hence the name.  My understanding of why soap operas have the soap opera effect has something to do with the fact that many of them are shot using camcorders instead of film, but I am not completely sure.  Why do soap operas have the soap opera effect? Torque on a rod? I've learned that the torque on an object is just $ \text{perpendicular force}\times\text{radius}$ and that has worked well for things like seesaws but it doesn't take into account the torque of the object itself!    In the picture the rod has a total mass of 5kg, and by definition the torque on the right is greater than that on the left.  $$T=Fr$$   I am supposed to solve the question     What distance to the left of the fulcrum (triangle supporting the rod) would I have to put a 3kg weight to balance the rod?     I've tried calculating the net torque $T_{net} = I\alpha$ but I don't really know how to approach this. I'm looking for an explanation more than an answer. What makes a good entry level road bike? I've been riding a mountain bike for years, but I prefer to go longer distances on paved ground, so I think a road bike would be better. When I ask what is a good bike, I don't need brands or models - more like what components of the bike should I look for, and what should I avoid? Additionally, is it necessary to "go big or don't go at all" as far as spending - getting a real good quality road bike for $500 to a few thousand, or should I cheap out on a $100-200 road bike, as it is my first, then get a better one when I'm more experienced? I would like to say something like     The boy, Adam's, favorite toy was a bike.   What is the proper way to say this? Are $10\times 10$ matrices spanned by powers of a single matrix? Proof of an elementary property of Projection Operators I'm asked to show the following:  Let $X$ be a linear space, and let $P : X \rightarrow X$ be a projection operator. Restricted to the linear space $range(P)$, the projection $P$ is the identity operator, that is, $Px = x$ for all $x \in range(P)$.  If anyone could offer a hint for how to show this. I'm rusty with linear algebra so don't really know what I'm supposed to bring in outside of what's specified in the lemma/definition of projection. What is so special about the range of P that would make this so? Difficulty in creating macro '\newcommand' for the beginning and end of frames in Beamer ASP.NET MVC custom routing for search Here is my scenario.  For the example lets say that I need to return a list of cars based on a search criteria.  I would like to have a single View to display the results since the output will be the same, but I need several ways of getting there.  For instance, I may have a Form with a textbox to search by year.  I may have another separate page that contains a hyperlink for all red, Toyota cars.  How do I handle these multiple scenarios in the same View and Controller.  My dilemma is that the search could contain several options… year, make, model, etc but I don’t know where to put them.  What is the best approach for this?  Should I define the parameters in the routing or go with query strings, etc? $\exp(A)$ is orthogonal iff $A$ is skew symmetric Let $A \in M_n(\mathbb R)$ and $\exp(A)=\sum_{i=0}^{\infty}\frac{A^i}{i!}$. How to prove $\exp(A)$ is an orthogonal matrix iff $A^t=-A$?  I can get that $\exp(A)$ is an orthogonal matrix iff $\exp(A^t)=\exp(-A)$, but how to get $A^t=-A$ from it?  What's more, is $\exp(A)$ injective or not? I tried to use sudo cd name_of_dir but am getting the error message:   sudo: cd: command not found   Is there any other way to enter a directory owned by another user which has 700 permission? We can click the website mentioned by the users in their profile page. They can enter anything that  be .   But, in  profile page, the website link is not clickable. Why not? I know several questions were asked about the difference between "going to" and "will". Based on several answers (see, for instance, ,  and ), I understood that "will" is more spontaneous and "going to" is used with more planned actions.  So, it seems that everything is pretty fine. However, in , Kosmonaut has an answer in which he states: "Let's say that tomorrow you will walk your dog from 7 - 8 AM".  On the one hand, you probably planned to walk your dog long before and thus I should use "Let's say that tomorrow you're going to walk your dog from 7 - 8 am".   On the other hand, since I'm saying "let's say...", I'm deciding right now (thus, unplanned) that you will walk your dog. So, even though in this hypothetical situation you made a plan, I'm in a more spontaneous mood deciding right now that that's what you will do tomorrow, and, thus, I should use "will".  Which one (if any) of the above explanations is right? Comma after introductory words, phrases, clauses: unacceptable, obligatory or optional? I am no native speaker and always confused about the comma in introductory phrases, in particular in prepositional phrases. Is there any hard rule when a comma must be set? If I make a google search for certain phrases, I often find both variants. Typical examples where I am not sure whether a comma must be set are:        First[ly][,] I must phone mother   In this case[,] we must...   For simple problems[,] the algorithm...   From Lemma 1.2[,] we obtain...   For a typical user[,] the algorithm...   In our theory[,] we...   A dark line on the horizon[,] the mountain range we were headed for seemed somehow not as threatening as when we had started out on the trip.   Avidly reading her novel[,] Jane did not notice that her stop was approaching.   To be sure[,] it is not easy to see a solution.   When you get to Rome[,] give me a ring. How to describe a guy who is popular with girls? Perhaps I should make it clear:  - He naturally attracts girls.  - He doesn't chase girls and have no intention for any relationship.  - You just see him often together with girls. Can someone please explain the difference between the protected and protected internal modifiers in C#? It looks like their behavior is identical. Adjoint matrix eigenvalues and eigenvectors I just wanted to make sure that the following statement is true:  Let $A$ be a normal matrix with eigenvalues $\lambda_1,...,\lambda_n$ and eigenvectors $v_1,...,v_n$. Then $A^*$ has the same eigenvectors with eigenvalues $\bar{\lambda_1},..,\bar{\lambda_n}$, correct? How could a gap between array modifier created objects be closed?
