BibLaTeX: Combine same author, different years into one citation In the MWE below, \citet{macdonald2015, macdonald2016} becomes "MacDonald (2015) and MacDonald (2016)". \citep{macdonald2015, macdonald2016} becomes "(MacDonald, 2015; MacDonald 2016)".

biblatex: Cite commands with the same author prints authors name twice I'm using biblatex 1.4b, and Biber 0.9. However, I think the problem is with my settings, not with the versions of those programs.  I'm trying to cite a single author, and produce their name, followed by the dates of two papers, using the authoryear-ibid style, and natbib compatability. Here's my biblatex preamble:  \usepackage[style=authoryear-ibid,natbib=true,backend=biber]{biblatex}   What I want is for the following command: The works by \citet{Blau81, Blau88} ... to produce: The works by Blau (1981; 1988) ... however, what I'm getting is: The works by Blau (1981); Blau (1988)...  I know that biblatex knows they're the same author, since in the bibliography they fall under the same name (i.e. after the first instance of the name, there's just a dash instead of the name)  What am I doing wrong here? I've also tried it with the commands \cite and \cites, and neither produces what I want.   (crossposted with comp.text.tex)
Adjust sound notification per chat room At the top right of a chat room, just above the room title, there is a speaker icon. Clicking on this icon brings up the settings for "Sound notifications":    Currently, a change to this setting affects all chat rooms. Selecting "visible room" means that an audio notification is given for any activity in any room that is currently open in a browser tab (regardless of whether that is the active tab).  It would be useful to be able to adjust audio notification settings for individual rooms. For example, The Nineteenth Byte is quite a busy room, so I'd like to be notified only when mentioned. The Cornell Box is a much quieter room, and I'd like to be notified any time there is activity regardless of whether I am mentioned. Currently I can set all rooms to notify me of any activity, or I can set all rooms to notify me only when mentioned, but I can't choose a different setting for each room.  This would also be particularly useful when setting up a room for a very specific purpose, such as discussion of a particular question. I have seen many articles that talk about a star's "habitable zone" as the ring around it which is just the right temperature for planets to have liquid water, which is necessary for life. My question is, why does a planet need to have liquid water in order to sustain life? Who says that extraterrestrial life can't live off of some other kind of sustenance?

What processing is done on RAW files in the camera? Recently I came across a debate about whether it's fair to call RAW 'unprocessed' or 'unaltered' sensor data of a DSLR. As far as I know, the analog sensor data is processed into a digital RAW file using the ISO setting, a process during which the Bayer-sensor data is demosaiced as well. However, those are just the necessary steps for saving a digital file while maintaining maximum quality.  Are those assumptions correct? If so, are there any additional steps that need to be performed between the sensor receiving light and the saving of the RAW file? And can those be reasonably be described as an 'alteration' of the sensor data, or is it fair to say that a RAW file holds the unaltered sensor data?

Complete view of where the PATH variable is set in bash Rooting Stock Firmware - GSII with NFC Is there a way to make sure that a deleted file can not be recovered?   As you know, deleting a file by pressing shift-del or using trash doesn't mean that file is gone forever. It resides somewhere in the computer.  In day to day life, law enforcement or thieves use recovery programs to reveal our private data or something else.   They can recover all data that resides on hard disk, in RAM, and even USB.  To protect us from these people, what should one do? Which program should one use?  Note: I don't want an answer like first use a recovery program then erase that file with shred. With just one program, I want to erase all unused/deleted files on my computer. I'm new to this website. I've checked the other topics and couldn't find the answer to my question. I've also tried to find the result with TI-CAS but the only thing it does is simplify the inequality which really doesn't help at all.  the equation is : $1000n^3 &lt; 2^n$ Now I've been trying to use log but it gets me nowhere (I haven't seen this form before), the answer is supposed to be 24 but I'm not sure. So my question is how to solve step by step this inequality for n. Could you guys help me with this one? Can a Linux user belong to more than one group?

Evaluation of $\int_{0}^{1}\frac{x\ln (x)}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}dx$ Evaluation of $\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1}\frac{x\ln (x)}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}dx$   $\bf{My\; Try::}$ Let $\displaystyle I = \int_{0}^{1}\frac{x\ln x}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}dx\;,$ Put $x=\cos \phi\;,$ Then $dx = -\sin \phi d\phi$  and Changing Limit, We get  $$\displaystyle I = -\int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{0}\cos \phi \cdot \ln(\cos \phi )d\phi = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \ln(\cos \phi)\cdot \cos \phi d\phi$$  Now Using Integration by parts, We get  $$\displaystyle I = \left[\ln(\cos \phi)\cdot \sin \phi\right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}+\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\frac{\sin^2 \phi}{\cos \phi}d\phi$$  So $$\displaystyle I = \left[\ln(\cos \phi)\cdot \sin \phi\right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}+\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\frac{(1-\cos^2 \phi)}{\cos \phi}d\phi$$  So $$\displaystyle I = \left[\ln(\cos \phi)\cdot \sin \phi\right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}+\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\sec \phi d\phi-\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\cos \phi d\phi$$  So $$\displaystyle I = \left[\ln(\cos \phi)\cdot \sin \phi\right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}+\left[\ln\left|\sec \phi+\tan \phi\right|\right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}-\left[\sin \phi\right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}$$  So $$\displaystyle I = \left[\ln(\cos \phi)\cdot \sin \phi\right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}+\left[\ln\left|\sec \phi+\tan \phi\right|\right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}-1$$  Now How can I solve after that, Help Required, Thanks When should I add another answer? I have been member of SO for 4 months. I have a question regarding some functionality. Whenever I give an answer to a question, there is functionality given Add Another Answer. I can comment on my answer at any time and also able to edit answer. Then   Why this functionality given on SO to add another answer?  When should I add another answer?  Why there is requirement of multiple answers? What is limit of adding answers to single question? Case insensitive 'Contains(string)' Is there a way to make the following return true?  string title = "ASTRINGTOTEST"; title.Contains("string");   There doesn't seem to be an overload that allows me to set the case sensitivity.. Currently I UPPERCASE them both, but that's just silly (by which I am referring to the  issues that come with up- and down casing).  UPDATE This question is ancient and since then I have realized I asked for a simple answer for a really vast and difficult topic if you care to investigate it fully. For most cases, in mono-lingual, English code bases  answer will suffice. I'm suspecting because most people coming here fall in this category this is the most popular answer.  answer however brings up the inherent problem that we can't compare text case insensitive until we know both texts are the same culture and we know  what that culture is. This is maybe a less popular answer, but I think it is more correct and that's why I marked it as such.
