I am working on a document in LaTeX, and when inserting pdf figures I get a weird black line down the right side.  This is not present in the original pdfs (I've checked).  I thought it might be some scaling issue, since several of my figures are large and I have to scale them smaller than actual size in LaTeX, but it also appears in this figure, which is actual size. My code for the figure is:  \begin{figure}[t] \includegraphics[height = 9.6cm]{"testschema"} \caption{Database Schema for test case, simulating results from a test suite} \label{fig:schematest} \end{figure}   And the output after compiling with pdflatex is:
Under TeX, when I write a line too long, it prints a fat black box at the end of the line.  That is probably a feature, but I dislike it.  How to turn that OFF? Is there a command-line option or something else?   I usually use LaTeX, but I have a complicated file which happens to be plain TeX.
(Posted here as probably applies to all sites).  I was examining my reputation gain yesterday on Stack Overflow: 190. I believe I should have hit the 200 cap. Mainly due to         Respectively, I had 10, 7, 3, and 2 upvotes on those questions alone. There are a couple of other minnows in the list but the above alone should enable me to hit the cap.  There was a user removed sometime yesterday which knocked off 10 points (and possibly accounts for the disparity) but I think (1) the cap should have been recalibrated and (2) I answered (3) after this event before turning in for the night.  I checked all the usual suspects: the reputation graph on your profile and  the achievements tab, but they are all showing 190. Conjugate subgroup strictly contained in the initial subgroup? Let $G$ be a group, $H\subseteq G$ a subgroup and $a\in G$ an element of the group. Is it possible that $aHa^{-1} \subset H$, but $aHa^{-1} \neq H$?   If $H$ has finite index or finite order, this is not possible. What does E mean in 9.0122222900391E-5? Travel to Romania with a residence permit of Germany I am a student in Germany and i have a residence permit here for 2 years, which is also a Schengen visa, I suppose. Do I need a separate visa if i wish  to travel to Romania? Why is this markdown for a link not showing properly? The Stack Exchange (Personal Productivity) markdown  is showing literally rather than as a named link. Don't know why. Can anyone help me with this limit problem without L'Hopital rule and Taylor series? $$\lim_{x\rightarrow\ -\infty}\left(-2\frac{\arctan(x)}{\pi}\right)^x$$ Can I fly back to Italy if my Italian residency card has expired and is being renewed? I have a residence permit (permesso di soggiorno) for Italy. I am currently in the Netherlands for an exchange. My permit expired on the 30th of November and I applied for a new one but I will get the card in January. I have the documents supporting that I have applied for the renewal of the permit. In the middle I want to travel to Italy for Christmas and come back to the Netherlands.    Would this be a problem? Does Google use the Meta Description Tag for Description of Page? A children's book series about a farm that grows massive food There was a series of illustrated children's books that I was introduced to as a child in the late 1980's early 1990's.  The main character was a farmer - I can't remember the name, but I think it was Mc or Mac something. He bought his farm from a sleazy character who was trying to cheat him. The farmland was originally some kind of swampy land, but this industrious character (and his family) discovered that the land would grow plants to a massive size - radishes the size of basketballs, etc.  There were some pretty fantastic stories and adventure that the character would get into, such as one winter the weather got so cold that the wind (not the air) outside froze. They went out and cut it up and stored it in the icebox and would thaw out some of the cold breeze later in the hot summer.  The sleazy character made a constant appearance, trying to swindle this family out of the farm.  My Google-Fu seems to fail me at every turn. Do you know what this series is? Multi armed bandit for general reward distribution I'm working on a multi-armed bandit problem where we do not have any information about the reward distribution.   I have found many papers which guarantee regret bounds for a distribution with known bound, and for general distributions with support in [0,1].   I would like to find out if there is a way to perform well in an environment where the reward distribution does not have any guarantees about its support.  I'm trying to compute a nonparametric tolerance limit and using that number to scale the reward distribution so I can use the algorithm 2 specified on this paper (). Does anyone think this approach will work?  If not, can anyone point me to the right spot?  Thanks a bunch! I accidently ran  sudo chmod 755 -R /   instead of  sudo chmod 755 -R ./   I stopped it after few seconds, but now there is some problems such as  sudo: must be setuid root   How can I revert permissions back? OSGi/Felix Declarative Services: How to filter the services to be bound? I am using Apache Felix and its Declarative Services (SCR) to wire the service dependencies between bundles.  For example, if I need access to a java.util.Dictionary I can say the following to have SCR provide one:  /** * @scr.reference name=properties interface=java.util.Dictionary */  protected void bindProperties(Dictionary d) { }  protected void unbindProperties(Dictionary d) { }   Now, I have more than one Dictionary service available, and I want to filter them using the "name" service property (I only want "name=myDictionary"). I can do that with code (using a ServiceTracker), but I'd rather specify the filter in the @scr annotation instead. In-universe explanation for single line of planetary entry/departure in Star Wars Why are planetary blockades confined to a single point of a planet instead of being sphere shell shaped around the planet? (I know, it would take an awful lot of spaceships.)  Also, when a rebel ship wants to escape from a planet and there is a single star destroyer hovering in the atmosphere (or some more of them further up, like in the Empire Strikes Back) how come it's not a viable maneuver to fly low altitude for a couple of hundred kilometers horizontally (they would be out of the single-point blockade), then make a vertical dash upwards? Typesetting a full citation whose title ends with a word in braces I am using Biblatex and need to typeset full citations in my document text, so I'm using .  While it works correctly most of the time, it has trouble with Biber/BibTeX entries where the last word of a field is enclosed in braces (to force capitalization).  In these cases, \longfullcite may fail to properly capitalize the following word.  Take the following example:  \documentclass{article}  \usepackage{biblatex} \makeatletter \newcommand{\tempmaxup}[1]{\def\blx@maxcitenames{\blx@maxbibnames}#1} \makeatother \DeclareCiteCommand{\longfullcite}[\tempmaxup]   {\usebibmacro{prenote}}   {\usedriver      {\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{default}}      {\thefield{entrytype}}}   {\multicitedelim}   {\usebibmacro{postnote}}  \usepackage{filecontents}  \begin{filecontents}{test.bib} @inproceedings{blow2015,   author       = {Blow, Joe},   title        = {{GNU} loves me},   year         = 2015,   booktitle    = {Proceedings of Some Conference}, }  @inproceedings{blow2016,   author       = {Blow, Joe},   title        = {I love {GNU}},   year         = 2016,   booktitle    = {Proceedings of Some Conference}, } \end{filecontents}  \addbibresource{test.bib}  \begin{document} \nocite{*} \noindent \longfullcite{blow2015}\\ \longfullcite{blow2016} \printbibliography \end{document}   Here is the output:    Note the inconsistent capitalization of the word "In" produced by the two \longfullcite commands.  By contrast, the citations emitted by \printbibliography correctly capitalize "In" for both entries.  What is causing this inconsistency and how can I fix or work around it (preferably by changing the definition of \longfullcite rather than changing the .bib file)? I have a Minecraft 1.8.1 vanilla server and would like to reward certain users. I would like to /give some users a 99999/99999 durability renamed Diamond Pickaxe (with all enchantments on it). How do I use commands to change/repair the durability of items? If possible, using only one command and use /give. How do I disable X at boot time so that the system boots in text mode? What do you feel when crossing the event horizon? map to drive on server with bat file I have a web server that I want to map a drive to it. I want to do this in a .bat file. Pseudo ->   Check if a drive at an ip address has been mapped to a local drive.  If it has then progress with a reference to the drive If not map to a local drive and then progress with a reference to the drive  Is this possible and if so how can I achieve it? Great Theorem - Help name the Sci-fi book read long ago I'm trying to find a book I read long back. This book may have won a Hugo/Nebula (Trust me I've googled to death this one!).  Don't remember much of the story (that's why I want to re-read it). What I remember is that some of the powers in the book are called "Gods". And they have brains the size of the planets (or planets being their brains).  The protagonist in the climax, solves a theorem (The Great Theorem, perhaps) by remembering one of the obscure theorems (Jacuzi (?)) and incorporating it. This [Great] theorem helps spaceships helps find the shortest route from point A to B. He surprises the antagonist by reaching the vantage point quickly with the help of his new knowledge, and blasts his enemy's spaceship.  The ending of the book - as I remember it is - that the protagonist wants to become a God himself.  Please let me know the title &amp; author of this book if you've read it.  PS #1:  BTW, It's not Asimov's The Gods Themselves :) PS #2:  It's published at the least before 1998 How do I customize the context menu in Nautilus?
