I have a strange problem when positioning table in a big file. I use the option h! to put the table exactly where the code is written.   \begin{table}[h!] ... \end{table}   The problem is, in the big file, I have 4 table, at different places 'supposodely' separated by pages (with a lot of text in between). At the end, all the tables are regrouped at the end of the chapter, sometimes 5 pages after their supposed placement!  This bothers me very much, and I don't understand why. With figure the option h! comes in handy, the figure is always placed as close as possible from the point where I put it... Does it not work in the same way with tables?  Thank you very much. Claude.
Is there any package or a method to force LaTeX to keep floating environments like table and figure closer to where they are declared?
Prove that if $\gcd(a,b)=1$ then $\gcd(a^m, b)=1$ How to convert Bedrock texture pack to Java Edition Minecraft I have the following reference:  @MISC{EX2012,   author = {{S}ingle {A}uthor {O}rganization},   year = {2012},   title = {Example} }   A citation for this is breaking after "Author", but extending beyond the margin, as shown in the following example layout in the PDF:  Demo text demo text demo to margin Demo text which cites it (Single Author Organization, 2012) and flows over the margin.   How can I solve this? I am using natbib and citing with \citep{EX2012}. Here is my problematic code:  \begin{tikzpicture} \draw  (0,0)  to [bend left=20] (3,3) node[midway] {midway label}; \end{tikzpicture}   I wanted to put a label midway of the line, but instead the label is at (0,0).  If I remove [bend left=20], the line is not bent, and the label still misplaced. If I remove to and replace it by --, then it works fine, but my line is not bent any more.  \begin{tikzpicture} \draw (0,0) -- (3,3) node[midway] {midway label}; \end{tikzpicture}   Works fine.  The problem occurs with MacTeX 2011 and MacTeX 2012. When is $2^n \pm 1$ a perfect power Is there an easy way of showing that $2^n \pm 1$ is never a perfect power, except for $2^3 + 1 = 3^2 $?  I know that   gives the result directly, but I'm hopefully for a more elementary method.    I can show that it is never a square, except for $2^3 + 1$.  Proof: Cases $n=1, 2, 3$ are easily dealt with. Henceforth, let $n\geq4$.  $2^n -1 \equiv 3 \pmod{4}$ hence is never a square.     If $2^n +1 =x^2$, then $2^n = (x-1)(x+1)$ and both of these are powers of 2. Thus we must have $(x-1) = 2, (x+1) = 4$. This gives the solution of $2^3 + 1 = 3^2$.    Let's now do an odd prime.  Say $2^n +1 = x^p$. Then $2^n = x^p - 1 = (x-1)(x^{p-1}+x^{p-2} + \ldots +1)$, so both terms are powers of 2. We have $ x = 2^m+1$ is odd. But the other term is the sum of $p$ odd numbers, hence is odd. Since this is clearly greater than 1, we get a contradiction.  Say $2^n -1 = x^p$. Then $2^n = x^p + 1 = (x+1)(x^{p-1} - x^{p-2} + \ldots -x +1 )$, so both terms are powers of 2. We have $x = 2^m -1$ is odd. But the other term is the sum of $p$ odd numbers, hence is odd. Since $x^p + 1 \neq x+1$ except for $p=1$, this means that the term is greater than 1. Hence we get a contradiction. Microsoft Edge missing in Start menu and pins Note: People have seem to have had issues doing this in Windows 10 pro, this could be because of Windows Updates. If the solution does not work, please use "Refresh your PC"  I have just upgraded to Windows 10 and had to switch to a Microsoft account while setting up Cortana.   Along the process, it asks me to sign out and sign back in, which I do. Then after signing back in, Microsoft Edge is missing. From the taskbar, and the "All Apps" section of the start menu.   This only occurs AFTER I have added my Microsoft account. And the only way is to open a .HTML file like this one:    (The name was from my Windows 7 Dualboot Install)  and please don't say "Just open the HTML file!" I need a proper solution to this. Why linear and logistic regression coefficients cannot be estimated using same method? I read in a machine learning book that parameters of linear regression can be estimated (among other methods) by gradient descent, while parameters of logistic regression are usually estimated by maximum likelihood estimation.  Is it possible to explain to a novice (me) why we need different methods for linear/logistic regression. a.k.a why not MLE for linear regression and why not gradient descent for logistic regression? The rule says if the order of two actions/events is clear then the past perfect is not necessary, i.e. you can use past simple. So if the sentence has before or after then the order is clear and therefore the rule applies.  says the first sentence is incorrect. Is he/she right? If so, how do you explain what appears, to me, to be contradictory?     If the Past Perfect is not referring to an action at a specific time,   Past Perfect is not optional. Compare the examples below. Here Past   Perfect is referring to a lack of experience rather than an action at   a specific time. For this reason, Simple Past cannot be used.      Examples:      She never saw a bear before she moved to Alaska. Not Correct      She had never seen a bear before she moved to Alaska. Correct   They say "a lack of experience rather than an action". Saying that just does not solve the problem I have which is the past simple fits the rule of order of events. Not seeing is a negative event with the verb "to see".  I hope the answer won't be this is how we speak or this is how English works or since when languages are logical! While modeling an Audi R8 I have the following problem. The thing I want to create is seen in this image:    I want to create a sharp crease (outlined in red) which starts around the first exhaust and then goes to the second.  Is there an efficient way to do this (I also use the Subdivision Surface Modifier for this model). I have a Linux CentOS server, the OS+packages used around 5GB. Then, I transferred 97GB data from a Windows server to two folders on this Linux server, after calculated the disk usage, I see the total size of the two folders is larger than the disk used size.  Run du -sh on each folder, one use 50GB, the other one use 47GB  But run df -h, the used space is 96GB. (50GB + 47GB + 5GB) > 96GB  Is there any problem? Those two folders contain lots of files (1 million+). Thanks. Heroes of Might and Magic VI seems to have installed a program called "Uplay", which it uses to launch (in addition to Steam, mind!)  What exactly is Uplay supposed to be? I notice that when I stop playing, it captchalogs the highlights of my past session (achievements earned, etc.) - which is kinda cool, but also kinda creepy and big-brotherish. Given that I value my privacy, is there anyway to play Uplay games without using Uplay?  Is this just Ubisoft's infamous "always-on" DRM? How to isolate the text from a bitmap logo? Removing duplicate rows from table in Oracle I'm testing something in Oracle and populated a table with some sample data, but in the process I accidentally loaded duplicate records, so now I can't create a primary key using some of the columns.

On the iPod Touch/iPhone, since it is tied to your iTunes account, I am quite sure you can have your bought apps on multiple devices you own (can't test though, iPod Touch was stolen).  However, now I have the Motorola Droid, and am waiting for a tablet, and am considering getting a Nook and rooting it to run my own apps.  Question is, if you buy an app on the marketplace, how is the security done:   Is it tied to your Gmail account so you can share it between devices you own? Is it tied to the device? (Don't break/replace your phone!) As long as it's installed, you're OK? (If you uninstall, or wipe your device, it's gone).   I assume 3 is highly unlikely, though a possibility, so leaving it here as a potential answer to my question. Is there a visual web editor based on bootstrap? Bootstrap is a great framework, and I want know if there is a tool that gives you the possibility of dragging html components, re-sizing and moving them, changing colours, all while generating the bootstrap html code.  I don't want to use Dreamweaver because you need to go and add classes and IDs to the html, which could be a pain sometimes.
