I have QGIS 2.10.1 Pisa and GDAL 1.11.2, and I can't open MrSID (.sid) images en QGIS, I have lost three days trying to make it work, but I can't make it.   My Linux is 14.04 trusty tahr.
I need some help importing MrSID Raster files in QGIS. I am running 2.6.0 on Linux Mint 17. After an internet search I have found a couple of resources that are perhaps outdated. The most promising is found here :    However when I attempted to follow the instructions my terminal and I could not find the file "libgdal-mrsid-src" on either the stable or unstable Ubuntu GIS repos. Has anyone had success or could lead me in the right direction?
Is there Markdown to create tables? It seems like a lot of people try to display tables in Stack&nbsp;Overflow questions, but don't do a very good job. Is there Markdown syntax that supports creating a proper table? I need to make a small correction in a video I uploaded to YouTube. Googling shows that this is not possible. However, I remember seeing it done before. I posted a comment on a video saying that a certain part of the video was missing. I got a reply back that it was fixed, and when I went to see the video again, it was changed. How was this done? Concurrent and Blocking Queue in Java Using the Limit definition to find the derivative of $e^x$ Is it possible to search for punctuation/special characters? I tried to find a related question here, but was unsuccessful.  Someone on SO asked ... I tried searching SO and was presented with the search options page. Even Google fails at this search.  So my question is, is there some way to search for an exact word (in quotes) that won't cause it to fail? Omitting "is", like in "I think it strange" What is the grammar behind the construction "I think it strange/necessary that ...", and when can and cannot this apparent omission of the copula be used? Do we always need the "that" clause?  Also, this seems to be only allowed when the object is a pronoun (it in the above example). That is, we don't say "I think this method strange", correct? Do I need Transit Visa to visit London for 4-5 hours during layover? Running two independent instances of Chrome I use Chrome as my main browser.  I also spend a lot of time on a particular webapp that my company uses.  I'd like to keep those two things separate.  I can run the webapp in a separate window - but I'd like to go further than that.  I'd like to have it be identified by a different task in the Win 7 taskbar; ideally a different icon; and ideally a different title in Process Monitor.  How can I run a second, independent instance of Chrome, with a different title and icon, that won't merge with my main Chrome browser. I have a question:     Suppose $f$ is continuous and even on $[-a,a]$, $a&gt;0$ then prove that   $$\int\limits_{-a}^a \frac{f(x)}{1+e^{x}} \mathrm dx = \int\limits_0^a f(x) \mathrm dx$$   How can I do this? Don't know how to start. Is there a way to find out if I need a transit visa for a layover in the UK? Is there a website or some other way to find out if I need a transit visa for a short stop in the UK on my way somewhere else? Ideally this should give me the answer for all nationalities, and take into account any other visas I may have. How to read from two input files using while loop I never want my PNGs to be interlaced. So I wish I could set a bunch of option defaults in the application so that I am saving time when outputting a lot of images as PNG over the course of a day working in Photoshop.  Does anyone know if this is possible in Photoshop without using Actions OR the Save-for-Web option? Game State 'Stack'? I was thinking about how to implement game states into my game. The main things I want for it are:   Semi-transparent top states-being able to see through a pause menu to the game behind Something OO-I find this easier to use and understand the theory behind, as well as keeping orgranised and adding more to.    I was planning on using a linked list, and treat it as a stack. This means I could access the state below for the semi-transparency.  Plan: Have the state stack be a linked list of pointers to IGameStates. The top state handles its own update and input commands, and then has a member isTransparent to decide whether the state underneath should be drawn.  Then I could do:  states.push_back(new MainMenuState()); states.push_back(new OptionsMenuState()); states.pop_front();   To represent the player loading, then going to options, and then main menu.  Is this a good idea, or...? Should I look at something else?   Thanks. Packages: graphics vs graphicx Different websites suggest using one of those two packages.  \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{graphics}   What are differences between them? Which is better? I want to programmatically create a site using custom web templates in sharepoint 2010.  In 2007 I used to get a   SPWebTemplate template = site.GetCustomWebTemplates(LCID)[number];   and used this SPWebTemplate in  SPWeb newSite = web.Webs.Add(url, title, description, LCID, template, true, false);   This worked quite well for 2007. But in 2010 the site templates are saved into the solution store  SPSite.Solutions   which only returns SPUserSolution objects and not SPWebTemplates.  So my question is: How can I programmatically create sites using the site templates from the solution store.    UPDATE: I tried to use  SPWeb newSite = web.Webs.Add(url, title, desc, LCID, templateName, true, false);   where templateName is a string like '{Template-GUID}#TemplateName', but it still does not work. It throws the following error:  Critical error: File or arguments not valid for site template '{4a2d8952-a0af-49a6-8f55-46a59c8d68a2}#CustomerSiteTemplate'. Parameter name: WebTemplate    Any other ideas how to create a site based on a SPWebTemplate? You'd think that as soon as Harry met someone who was friends with his dad, he'd have asked about his family.  Certainly Lupin or Sirius could have told him something of his family, given that they were James' closest friends, and Sirius was "always welcome at the Potters".  Obviously there's nothing in the books, but did J.K. Rowling ever explain why there was no mention of any living relative other than Aunt Petunia, or even what happened to Harry's grandparents? Limit problem arctg (1 ^ infinty) Can anyone help me with this limit problem without L'Hopital rule and Taylor series? $$\lim_{x\rightarrow\ -\infty}\left(-2\frac{\arctan(x)}{\pi}\right)^x$$ Why can't I change directories using "cd" in a script? I’m making a little movie with using multiple computers. I can't use the network so I've divided the frames of the animation over the computers. Unfortunately now there are frames missing. What I'd like to do is using 1 machine to render all the missing frames. For example: 4-24-35-64-143 but ideally in such a way that I don't have to re-start blender multiple times. Is this possible somehow? Torque relationship to speed in a DC motor I have a conceptual doubt about torque-speed relation in a DC motors. It's probably a gap in my thinking but I'm posting this question anyway.  Torque and speed in a DC motor are said to be inversely proportional. But doesn't an increase in torque result in increase in Angular Acceleration and consequently, angular speed?  I know that back EMF/counter-EMF is responsible for the inverse relation but it seems counter intuitive to me. What happens to the angular acceleration, angular speed when the torque is increased and where does all that work go?
