After trying in vein to get  and zgis working with my postgresql database in arcgis 9.3 and 10 , I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with these products.  My postgresql database has been serving geospatial data for 2 years through geoserver and can be edited in quantum gis fine....so why not in ArcGIS?  Does anyone have any other recipes for using postgresql data with arcgis but WITHOUT ArcSDE?
Has anyone used PostgreSQL with PostGIS successfully?   I am a semi-experienced ArcGIS user and want to build out a database and connect it to ArcCatalog.   I've scoured the internet for resources but nobody has really given a good walkthrough.
I'm developing a Custom Post Type plugin, which works fine in dev. Now that I've moved it to production, I'm getting a 404 when I try to display the template for the CPT.   So, two questions:  1- Is there some mechanism to determine the path WP took to get through the hierarchy?  2- Why wouldn't it just give me the single or index page?  I've dumped $wp_query and a stacktrace at the end of the 404. Here's part of what I found:  [query] =&gt; Array     (         [page] =&gt;          [pagename] =&gt; refletters/proximity     )  [request] =&gt; SELECT   wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts  WHERE 1=1  AND (wp_posts.ID = '0') AND wp_posts.post_type = 'page'  ORDER BY wp_posts.post_date DESC  [posts] =&gt; Array     (     )  [queried_object] =&gt;  [queried_object_id] =&gt; 0   And the stack trace:  2013-04-27 22:16:41 - 24.52.197.40 - TRACE - index.php - 404.php[39] -      wordpress/wp-content/themes/notoriousconsultant/404.php[39] - aaLog-&gt;logtrace     wordpress/wp-includes/template-loader.php[50] - include     wordpress/wp-blog-header.php[16] - require_once     wordpress/index.php[17] - require   Thanks for your help. openSuse, new user cannot login I am using openSuse 12.3.  I have created a new user using:  linux-amvn:~ # useradd -m -G users,dev -s /bin/bash -p pass123 harbir-PC   The user harbir-PC is not able to login, when I try to log using ssh. I went ahead and looked into the /etc/passwd file and I see the following:  harbir:x:1000:100:harbir:/home/harbir:/bin/bash kdm:x:489:487:KDM Display Manager daemon:/var/lib/kdm:/bin/false harbir-PC:x:1001:100::/home/harbir-PC:/bin/bash   There is a difference between the user harbir and harbir-PC.  I have no problem with the user harbir (who I have created during installation), but I need to login using the user harbir-PC.  I also checked the /etc/shadow, and passwords are encrypted. HTML table headers always visible at top of window when viewing a large table Definite integral, quotient of logarithm and polynomial: $I(\lambda)=\int_0^{\infty}\frac{\ln ^2x}{x^2+\lambda x+\lambda ^2}\text{d}x$ I was thinking this integral : $$I(\lambda)=\int_0^{\infty}\frac{\ln ^2x}{x^2+\lambda x+\lambda ^2}\text{d}x$$ What I do is use a Reciprocal subsitution, easy to show that: $$I(\lambda)=\int_0^{\infty}\frac{\ln ^2x}{\lambda ^2x^2+\lambda x+1}\text{d}x =\frac{1}{\lambda}\int_0^{\infty}\frac{(\ln x-\ln \lambda)^2}{x^2+x+1}\text{d}x \\ =\frac{\ln ^2\lambda}{\lambda}\int_0^{\infty}\frac{1}{x^2+x+1}\text{d}x+\frac{1}{\lambda}\int_0^{\infty}\frac{\ln ^2x}{x^2+x+1}\text{d}x \\ =\frac{\ln ^2\lambda}{\lambda}\frac{2\pi}{3\sqrt{3}}+\frac{2}{\lambda}\int_0^1\frac{\ln ^2x}{x^2+x+1}\text{d}x$$ But I hav no idea on process the remaining integral:( Anyone knows how to solve it?  THX guys! I came with another method might work for this: Recall the handy GF $$\frac{1}{x^2+x+1}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\sin \left(\frac{2\pi}{3}\left(k+1\right)\right)x^k$$ Then we have :  $$\int_0^1\frac{\ln ^2x}{x^2+x+1}\text{d}x=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{2}{\left(k+1\right)^3}\sin \left(\frac{2\pi}{3}\left(k+1\right)\right)x^k$$ With $$\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{\sin (kx)}{k^3}=\frac{\pi ^2}{6}x-\frac{\pi}{4}x^2+\frac{x^3}{12}$$ What can we arrived? How do I check if an object has a key in JavaScript?

Spec: Nexus 5 on Lollipop 5.1.1, SE App v1.0.66 (beta) Can we have discussions? Guys, I just wonder if people are allowed to have civilized discussion (on any IT topic) on this forum without actually being accused of starting a row. I'm asking this question for a reason that few days I've asked few questions referring to VM, JIT etc. and compared them to C++ way and despite the fact that I've explained myself that I'm not starting any agro with anyone, that I'm really just genuinely curious, my post was first closed and then removed. I'm asking: What's wrong with asking nonstandard questions which sometimes my be quite difficult to answer? Thanks Would a backpack or cargo rack be better for commuting? Right now I use a backpack to hold all of my supplies including spare tubes, pump, patch kits, tools, my change of clothes for work, etc.  This is the backpack I use:    It's about as comfortable as a backpack can get without getting into the hiking backpacks with frames. Altogether I would say it weighs no more than 10 lbs max. The muscles in my back get slightly irritated during my commute.  Would it be more comfortable to use a rear cargo rack on my bike instead? Will adding more weight to the bike change how the bike rides and feels?  EDIT: After doing some research I came across  that explains the different methods of carrying your gear on commutes and how it affects your body. It's worth a look.  EDIT #2: Having tried both for a couple of weeks now, I can say that (for me personally) the backpack is the better way to go given the relatively light weight I have to carry.  If you do use a backpack, make sure that the straps are tightened enough so that it's positioned higher up on your back and to the point to where there is little to no movement on your back. This makes a world of difference when it comes to comfort. Let $a$ be a non-zero real number. Is it true that the value of $$\int\limits_0^\infty \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{(1+x^2)(1+x^a)}$$  is independent on $a$? Inheritance of static members in PHP In PHP, if a static attribute is defined in the parent class, it cannot be overridden in a child class. But I'm wondering if there's any way around this.   I'm trying to write a wrapper for someone else's (somewhat clunky) function. The function in question can be applied to lots of different data types but requires different flags and options for each. But 99% of the time, a default for each type would suffice.  It would be nice if this could be done with inheritance, without having to write new functions each time. For example:  class Foo {     public static $default = 'DEFAULT';      public static function doSomething ($param = FALSE ) {         $param = ($param === FALSE) ? self::$default : $param;         return $param;     } }  class Bar extends Foo {     public static $default = 'NEW DEFAULT FOR CHILD CLASS'; }  echo Foo::doSomething() . "\n";  // echoes 'DEFAULT'  echo Bar::doSomething() . "\n";  // echoes 'DEFAULT' not 'NEW DEFAULT FOR CHILD CLASS'  // because it references $default in the parent class :( It's my understanding that a z-score can only be calculated and accurately used for data sets that are normally distributed.  Since "perfect" normal distribution almost never occurs in real-world data (where "perfect" normal distribution is defined as 1. The mean, median, and mode all equal the same number, 2. the distribution is perfectly symmetrical between all standard deviations on both sides of the mean, and 3. the distribution is asymptotic), how "close" can the distribution be to perfectly normal for the z-score to still be a valid statistical measure?  If the answer is it has to be a perfectly normal distribution, then my question is why is the z-score so important since it would seldom be a valid measure on real-world data? I'm looking for a short story from about 50 years ago about a robot who escapes after being slated to be melted down and discovers while in hiding that it has evolved to have some supernatural powers. Pluralizing Numbered Items Cartographic techniques for symbolizing routing data bilinear form - proof I have to prove that the mapping $f(x,y)={\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{n}}{\displaystyle \sum_{j=1}^{n}}x_{i}y_{j}{f}(e_{i},e_{j})$  is a bilinear form, that is, inter alia, the condition: $f(x+y,z)=f(x,z)+f(y,z)$  I have: $f(x+y,z)=f\left({\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{n}}x_{i}e_{i}+{\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{n}}y_{k}e_{k},{\displaystyle \sum_{j=1}^{n}}z_{j}e_{j}\right)=f\left({\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{n}}{\displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{n}}\left(x_{i}e_{i}+y_{k}e_{k}\right),{\displaystyle \sum_{j=1}^{n}}z_{j}e_{j}\right)=\ldots$  and what's next?

Get string after character Check to see if an email is already in the database using prepared statements Show all comments if there is just "1" extra comment to show When looking at a question or answer with comments, I think it would be better to just show that one extra comment if the threshold is "Show 1 more comment".  In other words, if there are 6 comments, show all 6 comments.  If there are 7 comments, then show 5 comments and the link "Show 2 more comments".  Etc for more comments.
