We use an application called IntraMaps Roam.  Our guys go out in the field, mark up their maps with GPS points, and then bring them back to the office.  They will copy their shapefiles to the server and the script will combine them at night.  The next morning they will download the new maps.  How can I accomplish this task?

I had this problem a week or two ago and I posted here but nothing from the suggested solutions seemed to work. I have managed to get some more details on it, in case anyone can help me, because this issue is causing me huge productivity problems and I really want it solved.  So I'm using Linux mint distribution, and I've installed Lyx via the software manager. Every time that I open a new document, I get an error claiming that some files are missing, and until they are installed, compiling the files or exporting them as pdfs is not possible. The file in question is called "extarticle.cls". Additionally, under Document->Settings->Document Class, every document class is marked as unavailable.  Here is the thing though.. this file is not missing... I have located it inside a folder associated with Lyx. It's definitely not missing.  I really need help with this one guys... It's been weeks since the problem came up and I really just want to be rid of it.. Why does this thing not work? Any help? Any open subset of $\Bbb R$ is a countable union of disjoint open intervals Let $U$ be an open set in $\mathbb R$. Then $U$ is a countable union of disjoint intervals.    This question has probably been asked. However, I am not interested in just getting the answer to it. Rather, I am interested in collecting as many different proofs of it which are as diverse as possible. A professor told me that there are many. So, I invite everyone who has seen proofs of this fact to share them with the community. I think it is a result worth knowing how to prove in many different ways and having a post that combines as many of them as possible will, no doubt, be quite useful. After two days, I will place a bounty on this question to attract as many people as possible. Of course, any comments, corrections, suggestions, links to papers/notes etc. are more than welcome. Induction on a sum The left hand side has terms involving  $\binom{n}{m}= \dfrac{n!}{(n-m)!m!}$    $$1+\dfrac{1}{2}\binom{n}{1} +\frac{1}{3}\binom{n}{2}+...........+\frac{1}{n+1}\binom{n}{n} = \dfrac{2^{n+1}-1}{n+1}$$  I've done induction and proved $P(0)$ holds and also $P(1),P(2)$ holds (Just in case)  Now I've found $P(K+1)$ so the sum on the left is going to equal $\dfrac{2^{n+1}-1}{n+1}$ + $\dfrac{1}{n+2}$  and the right hand side is going to equal $\dfrac{2^{n+2}-1}{n+2}$  My problem is coming with the algebra though. I can't get those sides to equal. I can't get rid of the $n+1$ in the denominator.   Anyone have any ideas for me? They'd be much appreciated!  P.S. Someone gave me a hint and said that you can use the binomial theorem to solve this. Chosing a reference frame in which the Earth is at rest and doesn't rotate How does the "this" keyword work?

I am getting a settlement from a business over a suit but most of the settlement will go to the attorney to cover their fees incurred on contingency.  If the 1099 reports the full settlement, will I have to pay taxes on the full amount or if not, how do I tell the IRS it is not all taxable. Otherwise, I could easily end up owing more in taxes than I get for my small portion. How to add spaces at every X digit in a binary or hexadecimal number? I would like to format binary or hexadecimal numbers with a space separator at each 2 or 4 digit (or any other value like 8 digit or more).  A small picture is better than a long explanation, here is what I would like to do:    As you can see in this mwe, I use the fmtcount package with padzeroes:      \documentclass{article}     \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}         \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}               \usepackage{fmtcount}     \begin{document}             Binary value : {\padzeroes[16]\binarynum{129}}$_{(2)}$ %             should display 0000 0000 1000 0001$_{(2)}$              Hexadecimal value: {\padzeroes[8]\Hexadecimalnum{65000}}$_{(16)}$ %             should display  00 00 FD E8$_{(2)}$     \end{document}   What I want to do is displaying numbers with various radix (2, 3, 7, 8, 10, 16) given a decimal number and format these numbers correctly with spaces and leading 0 (without having to perform the conversion by myself).  I already found some posts with similar questions, but none of them achieve this (they display number with thousand separators, like the numprint package, every 3 digits; or they do not make it automatic). Here are these posts :         EDIT two other linked questions:       I also prefer to use pdflatex. Is there a way to get the path for the assembly in which the current code resides?  I do not want the path of the calling assembly, just the one containing the code.   Basically my unit test needs to read some xml test files which are located relative to the  dll.  I want the path to always resolve correctly regardless of whether the testing dll is run from TestDriven.NET, the MbUnit GUI or something else.  Edit: People seem to be misunderstanding what I'm asking.  My test library is located in say      C:\projects\myapplication\daotests\bin\Debug\daotests.dll   and I would like to get this path:     C:\projects\myapplication\daotests\bin\Debug\   The three suggestions so far fail me when I run from the MbUnit Gui:   Environment.CurrentDirectory gives c:\Program Files\MbUnit System.Reflection.Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(DaoTests)).Location gives C:\Documents and Settings\george\Local Settings\Temp\ ....\DaoTests.dll System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location gives the same as the previous. What limits a motherboard from supporting more memory? My specific question is with the ASUS M3N78-VM motherboard that my home server uses. I currently have 4x2GB installed for a total of 8GB but I was hoping to upgrade to say 16GB (4x4GB). The official specifications of that motherboard says it only supports up to 8GB but it was released back when only 2GB sticks were available. What, if any, would prevent it from working with 4GB sticks now that 4GB sticks are available?  My general question is with motherboards in general... what would prevent a motherboard from working with bigger sticks if its all just the same type (DDR2 for example and same speeds) of memory? Basic mathematical induction regarding inequalities These are just the examples from my textbook, but I don't think it did not explain well.  One of the problem was to prove the inequality   $$n&lt;2^n$$  for all integers $n$.  I understand we assume if $P(n)$ is true, $P(k+1)$ is true.  Thus $k+1&lt; 2^{k+1}$  But in the text book, they added one more line that I don't understand:  $$k+1&lt;2^k+1 \le 2^k+2^k=2\cdot2^k=2^{k+1}$$  I understand  $$k+1&lt;2^{k+1}$$  But how do I know $2^k+1$ is larger than $k+1$, and smaller than $2^{k+1}$?  I have one another example just in case,  proving $2^n&lt;n!$ using induction.  $$2^{k+1}=2\cdot 2^k&lt;2\cdot k!&lt;(k+1)k!=(k+1)!$$  I understand we should start with $2^{k+1}&lt;(k+1)!$, but  Where did $2\cdot k!$ come from? Textbook says it came from inductive hypothesis, but I still don't get it.  Please advise. A3 pages within A4 doc Coloring arrows in \xymatrix How do airlines determine ticket prices?

Fit mixture of distributions to your time-series data in R I have time-series data containing 1440 observations and the plot of the data is   I want to fit the Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) to the above plot, and for the same I am using Mclust function of  package. Finally, I want a fit somewhat like this:   On using Mclust function, I do get following statistics     mclus_data &lt;- Mclust(givendataseries)    &gt; summary(mclus_data) ---------------------------------------------------- Gaussian finite mixture model fitted by EM algorithm  ----------------------------------------------------  Mclust E (univariate, equal variance) model with 8 components:   log.likelihood    n df      BIC      ICL        9525.438 1440 16 18934.52 18183.67  Clustering table:    1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8  1262    0    0    0    0   13  114   51    In the above statistic, I can not understand following:   Significance of log.likelihood, BIC and ICL. I can understand what each of them is, but what their magnitude/value refers to? It shows there are 8 clusters, but why cluster no. 2,3,4,5 has 0 values? What does this mean? From the plot it is clear that there must be two Guassians, but why Mclust function shows there are 8 Guassians?   Update: Actually, I want to do model based clustering of time series data.
