How does Windows know whether it has internet access or if a Wi-Fi connection requires in-browser authentication? In Windows 7, the notification area networking icon will show an error indicator if there is no internet access , and the error icon goes away once there is a successful connection to the internet . Sometimes, if the WiFi connection requires an in-browser authentication step, like on many guest networks in hotels or universities, then the following pop-up bubble appears, saying as much:    How does Windows know whether or not it has a successful internet connection? Presumably it is checking some online Microsoft service to see whether it has a successful connection, gets redirected to some other page, or doesn't get any response at all, but I haven't seen anywhere that this process or the services used are documented. Can anybody explain how this works? I would prefer answers that refer to facts, rather than just guessing, but if you have a really good guess, then go for it.     This question was a .   Read the May 16th, 2011  for more details or  Question of the Week. Getting shapefile of river from OpenStreetMap? I do not want to download the whole map of an area. I just want rivers and other waterbodies present in an area in shapefiles so that I can use them in QGIS. I tried geofabrik but it is giving whole map and that also of full country while i need data of a city. Right now I am trying JOSM. will update you when it will works. Getting JavaScript object key list This is probably a dumb question. I guess what I'm trying to ask is if radio waves travel the same speed as gamma rays, how do gamma photons carry more energy than radio photons? Do they spin faster? What other energy sources could they carry if they are moving the same speed through space? "Show desktop" keyboard shortcut in Mac OS X I am using a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.5. Is there a similar function to "show desktop" (shortcut is WIN+D) on a Mac?   It should hide all applications and show a clean desktop. Outlier Detection on skewed Distributions Under a classical definition of an outlier as a data point outide the 1.5* IQR from the upper or lower quartile, there is an assumption of a non-skewed distribution. For skewed distributions (Exponential, Poisson, Geometric, etc) is the best way to detect an outlier by analyzing a transform of the original function?  For example, distributions loosely governed by an exponential distribution, could be transformed with a log function - at which point is it acceptable to look for outliers based on the same IQR definition? How to find basis of intersection of 2 vector spaces with given basis? Suppose we have vector spaces $\mathbb W$ and $\mathbb V$.  A given basis for $\mathbb W$ is $\{(1, 1, 0, -1), (0, 1, 3, 1)\}$, and a given basis for $\mathbb V$ is $\{(1, 2, 2, -2), (0, 1, 2, -1)\}$.  How to find a basis for $\mathbb W\cap\mathbb V$? PHP - Get rid of notation Automatic coloring of numbers according to size Scientific talks have their own culture, reporting the results, typically for me, in a table of the following form  1.7333    1.6472    1.5418    1.4682    1.5740 1.1525    1.2878    1.2652    1.3511    1.5102 1.2181    1.1500    1.2220    1.2425    1.5699 0.9786    1.1051    1.1472    1.3096    1.6757 0.9569    0.9190    1.0433    1.2924    1.4867   There is clearly a(n almost perfectly) monotonic pattern for rows and columns. Now for the naked eye, this is not the most quick way of capturing informing.  I would like numbers that bigger in absolute value, to appear differently (either green vs red or light vs dark) than smaller numbers, such that the pattern becomes clear instantly.  Is there a way of programming this in LaTeX? I want my Qt application to be able to save simple vector graphics to clipboard in a compatible way. On windows I want to be able to paste the graphics into Microsoft Word or Powerpoint. On Linux I want to be compatible with the Open Office.   Which format would you recommend? Can Qt generate EMF in an easy way? Is SVG an option?  Update:  My current plan is to add a piece of native win32 code to render the graphics to emf on windows. This code will not be available on linux. I just noticed . Hey! I'm there! But that's beside the point.  The point is that Nick Craver is there too. Nick seems to like really long tag names, so his profile shows up like this:    Akk! Diamonds everywhere!  It seems that the page is optimized for only two lines of tags per user. One tag per line means three lines. Three lines means that Nick's reputation (tag) is cut in half.  Let's not cut Nick's rep (tag) in half on the Users page, no? Nested amsmath environments with \newenvironment I can already scroll left and right with two-finger swiping, however, in Windows I can use the same gestures to go forward and back in browsers and such. Is this possible in Ubuntu? I'm trying to use the \citep command in Latex and my document class is elsarticle. The problem is that it displays numbers not authoryear citations in the text which is what I'm looking for. Here are related parts of my code:      \documentclass[preprint,11pt]{elsarticle}      \usepackage{natbib}   ...      \bibliographystyle{plainnat}      \bibliography{ML}   And I'm obviously using the \citep command like this:      I once read \citep{edelman1993magnetic}   And my .bib file looks like this:  @article{wolf2009regional, title={Regional brain activation changes and abnormal functional connectivity of the         ventrolateral prefrontal cortex during working memory processing in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder}, author={Wolf, Robert C and Plichta, Michael M and Sambataro, Fabio and Fallgatter,     Andreas J and Jacob, Christian and Lesch, Klaus-Peter and Herrmann, Martin J and     Sch{\"o}nfeldt-Lecuona, Carlos and Connemann, Bernhard J and Gr{\"o}n, Georg and others}, journal={Human brain mapping}, volume={30}, number={7}, pages={2252--2266}, year={2009}, publisher={Wiley Online Library} }   The result looks like:  I once read[1]   I'm looking for a result like this:  I once read(wolf., 2009)   Elsevier is actually looking for:  Text: All citations in the text should refer to:    Single author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication;  Two authors: both authors' names and the year of publication;  Three or more authors: first author's name followed by 'et al.' and the year of publication.    Thanks in advance Getting the starting shortcut in c# Simple example of non-arithmetic ring (non-distributive ideal lattice) Can anyone provide a simple concrete example of a non-arithmetic commutative and unitary ring (i.e., a commutative and unitary ring in which the lattice of ideals is non-distributive)? Is it possible to see own 'review queue audits' results? I completed recently a few review audits, some of them I passed, some I failed.  Is there a place I could (easily) find these results? Shape of confidence interval for predicted values in linear regression I have noticed that the confidence interval for predicted values in an linear regression tends to be narrow around the mean of the predictor and fat around the minimum and maximum values of the predictor. This can be seen in plots of these 4 linear regressions:    I initially thought this was because most values of the predictors were concentrated around the mean of the predictor. However, I then noticed that the narrow middle of the confidence interval would occur even if many values of were concentrated around the extremes of the predictor, as in the bottom left linear regression, which lots of values of the predictor are concentrated around the minimum of the predictor.  is anyone able to explain why confidence intervals for the predicted values in an linear regression tend to be narrow in the middle and fat at the extremes? Check Constraint with Case Statement I want to add a check constraint on a column if entered value for column is greater than 3 than it should be saved as 1 else entered value. For that scenario I am using below query but on insertion of data it shows an error message.  create table tblTestCheckConstraint  ( id int, NewColumn int )   alter table tblTestCheckConstraint add constraint chk_tblTestCheckConstraint_NewColumn1 CHECK   (     CASE         WHEN NewColumn &gt;4 THEN 1         ELSE NewColumn     END = 1 )   Insert Statement:   insert into tblTestCheckConstraint values ( 1,5) insert into tblTestCheckConstraint values ( 1,2)   Error Message:   Msg 547, Level 16, State 0, Line 1 The INSERT statement conflicted with the CHECK constraint "chk_tblTestCheckConstraint_NewColumn1". The conflict occurred in database "DBName" , table "dbo.tblTestCheckConstraint", column 'NewColumn'. The statement has been terminated. If I have a 18-55mm lens, is there a point in buying a 35mm prime lens?
