How can I access/copy unselectable text from windows (in Windows 7)?  For example, when a warning/error/info popup box (or window) appear, is there a way to access the text of it (when the text is unselectable)?  I'm wondering if there's a utility or method to possibly access such, sort of like a "DOM Inspector" for a web browser.  Note:  The text is in the form of a label, and not any sort of textbox or inputtable text element.
Here are two examples of what I mean:   I am sure you all too have experienced this frustration before. A dialog box opens that displays only part of a long string (e.g. a file path), but won't allow you to select the text so you can read the full string. Neither text container will resize upon window resizing. (By the way, you can force windows —specially dialog boxes— to resize with tools such as , but helps little in this case, since controls are fixed-width.) The text is hidden, period. Copying a very long drop-down list control contents to a text file.   Do you know any way to solve these problems?
Trouble with gradient intuition Difference between standard error and standard deviation I'm struggling to understand the difference between the standard error and the standard deviation. How are they different and why do you need to measure the standard error? Enable Careers and Jobs in app Story about a time-traveler living backwards in a capsule I'm hunting for the title of a short story where a senile old man appears in a capsule in a laboratory.  They eventually realize time is passing backwards for him. After years he helps them build the machine he's in, and he changes places with the him that has been aging normally in the timeline. When a land becomes creature, can you kill it? Some lands have an ability to become a creature, but they usually say they are still a land. If a land is a 3/3 creature and a land, can you target and kill it with a  to send it to the graveyard, or does it remain in play as a land? I have an unusual problem with Chrome when I try to open PDFs. If I have already downloaded a PDF and try to download it again, I can open it by tapping its name; in the screenshot below, I could tap "pdf.pdf" to open the file.   The issue is that tapping this link actually opens RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic! If I choose to download again, Chrome redownloads and opens the PDF correctly, so it's not a huge issue, but still an inconvenience.  In Settings, it says that RollerCoaster Tycoon Classic has no defaults, and I am unable to change the "open supported links" setting.    How do I stop RollerCoaster Tycoon  trying to be a PDF reader? There are many cards that can put multiple permanents onto the battlefield simultaneously, such as , , or .  How do these interact with the following types of abilities?

This question is intended to be a canonical question and answer to all questions such as:      Note to moderators: three of these five questions have already been marked as duplicates pointing to this one.  Can we do the same for the remaining two? I think it would be super if, in my LaTeX editor, I could click on the name of package...  \usepackage{blob}   ... and the corresponding style file, blob.sty, would be opened.  Do any LaTeX editors have this feature? I mainly use Aquamacs/AucTeX myself, but am interested in other editors too. I reckon it would be mildly challenging to implement, because blob.sty might be    in the current working directory,  in the system texmf directory, or  in the user's texmf directory. Graph for relationship between two ordinal variables What is an appropriate graph to illustrate the relationship between two ordinal variables?  A few options I can think of:   Scatter plot with added random jitter to stop points hiding each other. Apparently a standard graphic - Minitab calls this an "individual values plot". In my opinion it may be misleading as it visually encourages a kind of linear interpolation between ordinal levels, as if the data were from an interval scale. Scatter plot adapted so that size (area) of point represents frequency of that combination of levels, rather than drawing one point for each sampling unit. I have occasionally seen such plots in practice. They can be hard to read, but the points lie on a regularly-spaced lattice which somewhat overcomes the criticism of the jittered scatter plot that it visually "intervalises" the data. Particularly if one of the variables is treated as dependent, a box plot grouped by the levels of the independent variable. Likely to look terrible if the number of levels of the dependent variable is not sufficiently high (very "flat" with missing whiskers or even worse collapsed quartiles which makes visual identification of median impossible), but at least draws attention to median and quartiles which are relevant descriptive statistics for an ordinal variable. Table of values or blank grid of cells with heat map to indicate frequency. Visually different but conceptually similar to the scatter plot with point area showing frequency.   Are there other ideas, or thoughts on which plots are preferable? Are there any fields of research in which certain ordinal-vs-ordinal plots are regarded as standard? (I seem to recall frequency heatmap being widespread in genomics but suspect that is more often for nominal-vs-nominal.) Suggestions for a good standard reference would also be very welcome, I am guessing something from Agresti.  If anyone wants to illustrate with a plot, R code for bogus sample data follows.  "How important is exercise to you?" 1 = not at all important, 2 = somewhat unimportant, 3 = neither important nor unimportant, 4 = somewhat important, 5 = very important.  "How regularly do you take a run of 10 minutes or longer?" 1 = never, 2 = less than once per fortnight, 3 = once every one or two weeks, 4 = two or three times per week, 5 = four or more times per week.  If it  would be natural to treat "often" as a dependent variable and "importance" as an independent variable, if a plot distinguishes between the two.  importance &lt;- rep(1:5, times = c(30, 42, 75, 93, 60)) often &lt;- c(rep(1:5, times = c(15, 07, 04, 03, 01)), #n=30, importance 1            rep(1:5, times = c(10, 14, 12, 03, 03)), #n=42, importance 2            rep(1:5, times = c(12, 23, 20, 13, 07)), #n=75, importance 3            rep(1:5, times = c(16, 14, 20, 30, 13)), #n=93, importance 4            rep(1:5, times = c(12, 06, 11, 17, 14))) #n=60, importance 5 running.df &lt;- data.frame(importance, often) cor.test(often, importance, method = "kendall") #positive concordance plot(running.df) #currently useless   A related question for continuous variables I found helpful, maybe a useful starting point: $\text{Tor}_0^R(M,N)\simeq M\otimes_R N$ I'm trying to understand why $\text{Tor}_0^R(M,N)\simeq M\otimes_R N$.  Let $\dots\to F_1\to F_0\to M\to 0$ be a free resolution of $M$. Then $$ F_1\to F_0\to M\to 0$$ is exact. Hence $$ F_1\otimes_R N\to F_0\otimes_R N\to M\otimes_R N\to 0$$ is exact. Call the left map $f_1$ and the right map $f_0$. Then $M\otimes N\simeq F_0\otimes N/\ker (f_0)\simeq F_0\otimes N/\text{im}(f_1)$.  But if I understand the definition correctly, to show the result we need that $M\otimes N\simeq H_0(\mathcal F)=\ker f_0/\text{im}(f_1)$. But why does $\ker f_0=F_0\otimes N$? If it does at all...

My husband is a teacher in New Jersey; 61 years of age. He has a pension plan listed on w-2 in box 14 (other). It is coded as 414(h). He asked the tax advise person at the school if he could still contribute maximum yearly amount to an individual Ira and was told yes. An accountant we know told us this was incorrect. Can he deduct the amount placed in individual Ira? Increasing the maximum number of enumerate environments? I know that to better balance paragon and epic level players against similar level monsters, WotC changed the math used for monsters for MM3, and I believe that they changed some of the types of powers they gave monsters.   If I want to update monsters from MM1 or MM2 to be in line with MM3 era monsters, what changes should I make? Nuclear Binding energy The nuclear binding energy, is the energy that is needed to seperate the nucleons in a nucleus. And binding energy is also defined as the energy given out when a nucleus forms from nucleons.   Also the larger the nucleus is, the more energy is required to break it apart, so why doesn't that mean that larger nuclei are more stable? I mean Uranium has a lower binding energy per nucleon than Iron, but there are many many more nucleons in Uranium that Iron so the total binding energy is going to be much greater.   Basically I don't understand why whether an element gives out energy by fusion or fission (why the lighter element provide energy by fusion not fission and vice versa for heavy elements) depends on binding energy per nucleon and not "total" binding energy 80s: the "Eighties"   90s: the "Nineties"   00s: the ???   For that matter, what is the second decade called? The "tens" just doesn't sound right. Each number in a subset $S\subseteq \{1,\ldots,2n\}$ does not divide another one. Then $\max |S|$? This problem comes from a seemingly innocuous question from a professor during a lesson for a Math Olympiad course. [A part of this question is really a classic of number theory/combinatorics]  Problem: Let $S$ be a a non-empty subset of $\{1,2,\ldots,2n\}$. It is clear that if $|S|$ is "enough large" then, independently from the choice of $S$, there are for sure some distinct $a,b \in S$ such that $a$ divides $b$.  Then, what is the maximal $k$ such that, for some $S$ with cardinality $k$, if $a,b$ are distinct members of $S$ then $a$ does not divide $b$?  [Ps. I know the solution]
