I've been trying to fill those lidar scan lines in my dem with no avail. Is there any way to interpolate those "gaps" to get a clean dem? I used las2dem to create the dem from .laz file
I've created a series of DEM files using the  tool from LAStools; however since I don't have a licensed version they have black streaks running across them. Does anyone know a good method for removing these streaks?
How to use an optimization solver to get t-stats and p-values for the estimates? After trying (and failing) to install better ATI drivers in 11.10, I've somehow lost my grub menu at boot time.  The screen does change to the familiar purple colour, but instead of a list of boot options it's just blank solid colour, and then disappears quickly and boots into the default entry normally.    How can I get the bootloader back?  I've tried sudo update-grub and also various different combinations of resolutions and colour depths in startupmanager application with no success (640x480, 1024x768, 1600x1200, 16 bits, 8 bits, 10 second delay, 7 second delay, 2 second delay...)   edit:   I have already tried holding down Shift during bootup and it does not seem to change the behaviour.  I get the message "GRUB Loading" in the terminal, but then the place where the grub menu normally appears I get a solid blank magenta screen for a while.  Here are the contents of /etc/default/grub  # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update # /boot/grub/grub.cfg. # For full documentation of the options in this file, see: #   info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'  GRUB_DEFAULT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2&gt; /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" vga=798 splash"  # Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs # This works with Linux (no patch required) and with any kernel that obtains # the memory map information from GRUB (GNU Mach, kernel of FreeBSD ...) #GRUB_BADRAM="0x01234567,0xfefefefe,0x89abcdef,0xefefefef"  # Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only) #GRUB_TERMINAL=console  # The resolution used on graphical terminal # note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE # you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo' #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480  # Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux #GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true  # Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries #GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"  # Uncomment to get a beep at grub start #GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1" What are all the correct answers to the Squirrel's questions, and what is the reward when I get them all correct? After the latest Win8.1x64 Updates, my system got stuck restarting or shutting down.. When I installed the last Windows update, all seemed fine except it got stuck doing the restart.  I waited about 5 minutes then used the power button.  Startup was normal.    But then when I told it to shut down it closed the programs then went to the "Shutting Down" screen and just stays there.    Disk activity lights aren't showing any activity.  Here is a screen grab of the most recent updates:    Before I do anything I wanted some input.  Question:  Any ideas of how I can figure out how to fix it? Using Illustrator CS6 to create shape out of multiple paths I am very new to Illustrator, in fact I am only experimenting with it in an attempt to help my friend develop a logo for a new business venture. I managed to draw out the shell of the logo using the line tool and modifying the lines with the anchor tool to get the shape I wanted.  However, I would like to somehow take all of these paths and create one object, or symbol which I can then apply a drop shadow, fill and various other effects too. Currently when I try to do this I get unwanted effects...  I'd appreciate any help on the subject.

Viewshed Analysis With GDAL I am looking to perform a simple (one observer location) viewshed analysis on a standard DEM using GDAL (either python or .NET bindings).

We got a recorded call with a message claiming to be from the IRS.  It said they were giving final notice and preparing to file a lawsuit against us.  In our case, the message went to voicemail so the end was cut off, but it seemed like a scam all the way. (We don't have any pending problems with the IRS as far as we know.)  The question was whether this is a known scam? Please add a system to allow file uploads attached to questions and answers Keyboard backlight not working on an Asus N56V See .

Planck quantised the energy of light in order to solve the black body radiation problem. However, I am confused as to exactly what he quantised. On one hand, I have seen that he quantised the energy of oscillators in the black body (source below).     However, the second version of the story I've heard is that it is simply that light energy is given off in discrete chunks (where every photon itself can have any value of energy it likes depending on frequency and is not quantised).   To me, the first idea doesn't make sense because $E=hf$ and as $f$ can be any real number that means the energy of each photon can be any real number. I would believe the second version, however I don't understand how this version of quantisation leads to reducing the number of high frequency waves emitted and thus solving the UV catastrophe. Could you please explain exactly how releasing energy in chunks (of arbitrary size themselves) means less will be released in the higher frequencies?

The Earlier today, the below sections and the post title are not visible.  There is no exact steps to reproduce. It doesn't happen when the app is initializing.

I have Google Forms where users enter information, some of which contains leading zeros (e.g. zip codes, ID numbers).   However, when this data is saved to the Google Sheet, it doesn't treat it as plain text and strips the zero. The form fields are text fields with no validation.   I have tried to format the range of cells containing these values as plain text, but it seems Sheets does not set the formatting as plain text unless there is already text in a cell. So I can format a column as plain text, submit the form, and the leading zero will still be stripped.   I tried writing an apps script to deal with this but there's no good way for me to deploy it to the users who would need it.   How can I get around this without having to instruct users to prepend a single quote to their form entry? This is such a small thing, but I can't find a good simple solution to what it seems must be a common problem. If I can't get this to work I may have to drop Google Forms/Sheets altogether.
