measurement doesn't match
Why do the measurements of this object seem erroneous?
I'm splitting a string by three different characters but I want the output to include the characters I split by. Is there any easy way to do this? Suppose that, for a real application, I have ended up with a sorted list A = {$a_1, a_2, ..., a_{|A|}$} of elements of a certain kind (say, Type-A), and another sorted list B = {$b_1, b_2, ..., b_{|B|}$} of elements of a different kind (Type-B), such that Type-A elements are only comparable with Type-A elements, and likewise for Type-B.  At this point I seek to count the following: in how many ways can I merge both lists together, in such a way that the relative ordering of Type-A and Type-B elements, respectively, is preserved? (i.e. that if $P_M(x)$ represents the position of an element of A or B in the merged list, then $P_M(a_i)&lt;P_M(a_j)$ and $P_M(b_i)&lt;P_M(b_j)$ for all $i&lt;j$)  I've tried to figure this out constructively by starting with an empty merged list and inserting elements of A or B one at a time, counting in how many ways each insertion can be done, but since this depends on the placement of previous elements of the same type, I've had little luck so far. I also tried explicitly counting all possibilities for different (small) lengths of A and B, but I've been unable to extract any potential general principle in this way. Notify-send ignores timeout? Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but shouldn't the commands (run separately) notify-send -t 1 &quot;test&quot; notify-send -t 1000 &quot;test&quot; notify-send -t 10000 &quot;test&quot;  have different timeouts? The first being nearly instantaneous, the second taking 1 sec and the third 10 seconds? In all cases it seems to take about six seconds for me. Is there a way around this behaviour? As the developers label this as a &quot;feature&quot; instead of a bug, I would like some alternatives. What happened to the ia32-libs package? The ia32-libs package is no longer present in Ubuntu 12.04 repositories for a 64bit system. Are there any available replacement packages available for download? Packages: graphics vs graphicx Different websites suggest using one of those two packages.  \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{graphics}   What are differences between them? Which is better? $\mathbb{Z}[X]/(X^2-1)$ is not isomorphic with $\mathbb{Z}\times \mathbb{Z}$ Export beamer slides to powerpoint/openoffice-impress/keynote editable format I usually prepare my talks using powerpoint/openoffice-impress/keynote, where I explaing programs, pseudocodes, etc. Recently I was thinking about creating text-only, code-only and pseudocode-only slides with beamer and then exporting them somehow to powerpoint where I modify them to add figures or some minor details for polishing the presentation, which are usually hard to do with beamer. I googled a bit around and found that beamer can export to PDF or PS but not to powerpoint. I wonder anyway if you know some possibility of conversion from beamer to on-screen editable powerpoint/openoffice-impress/keynote. What split-screen options are available in Battlefront? How many players can play split-screen, and what game modes are (or aren't) available?   How many players can play local co-op? How many players can play local multiplayer? How many players can play online multiplayer from a single console? Mavericks input source is set to US keyboard in login screen I'm from Belgium, and on my own user account, the input source is set to a Belgian (actually French) keyboard. The input sources menu is enabled in the menu bar, so I can switch it to the Belgian keyboard before entering my password, but how can I permanently change the input source used for login? I'm the system admin, and I know how to get root access if necessary.  It worked perfectly in Mountain Lion. Resizing or expanding a CoreStorage volume I bought a new SSD with 750 GB and made two partitions: 600 GB and 150 GB. The smaller one was thought to be a Bootcamp partition one day, but to date it was just another unused partition. When I needed more space, I decided to merge these two partitions. The partition was created with Mavericks, the merge was done with Yosemite.  I opened Disk Utility and the "minus" button. Disk Utility told me both partitions would be merged then. However it miserably failed. My main hard disc suddenly had errors which couldn't be repaired and even two of my other external hard discs could not be mounted any longer.  I eventually restored the hard disc from Time Machine, which worked well.  My second partition is now listed as free:    Unfortunately I can't resize the 600 GB partition nor can I create a new partition using the free space.

It said I couldn't recover because it wasn't created in a way it would support (sorry for missing the exact message).  I then have learned that Apple_CoreStorage might indicate my disk is encrypted, which might explain why I can't resize it. It doesn't explain why I can't create a new partition to me.  What are my options to make my hard disk available in a single partition with size 750 GB? I recently ran the iTunes 10 installer in Wine and everything seemed to go well. Then, when I tried to run it, it would constantly crash/and the appearance would be glitchy. After looking at the Wine website, it turns out that iTunes 10 has a 'garbage' rating of Wine compatability.  Now I'm trying to remove/uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, and the other applications that come default with installing iTunes (such as Bonjour, etc.). However, when I run the 'uninstaller' that wine provides for the programs, it instead executes what appears to actually be the original installer! I've tried deleting all the configuration/data files in my Wine's file-system, but to no avail.  Any help is greatly appreciated!  Edit1: After re-running the uninstall process and then rebooting, the program (iTunes 10) still remained installed. Name an Armor Stand using the Standard Galactic Alphabet The Standard Galactic Alphabet is what appears in the Enchanting Table. Is there a way to give a name to an Armor Stand using these character.  I know there is a LingoJam Translator that give ASCII characters that look like the SGA, but that is not what I'm looking for. Can I use the same characters as the Enchanting Table? I have accounts in Stack Overflow, Programmers, Unix &amp; Linux and Area 51. I don't want to continue my Area 51 account, so I planned to delete my Area 51 account. I have performed the following steps to delete my account, but I couldn't!  Case 1     If your account has votes or posts do the following steps:         Edit the "About Me" section of your profile to say “please delete me”.   Contact the SE support to request deletion.      I edited my "About Me" section to "please delete me". When I contacted SE Support to delete my account, I couldn't make a request. I am getting the following error:  This operation is incomplete. please do it in main site.   For deleting Area 51 account, when I do it main site, in link for deletion column I gave the Area 51 link. It says that:  it is not valid link!   Case 2     If the account has not interacted with the site yet (votes or posts), click on the delete button on your user page next to the edit link.   I am not eligible for this case!  Then how to delete my Area 51 account? Any help is appreciated! How do I iterate over the words of a string? Is there a way to add a timer to a Beamer presentation? Is time dilation an illusion? Can we get notification in the tab (change of title)? I'm usually running many different StackExchange sites in Firefox using tabs (using ReloadEvery to update every 5 minutes).  Right now to check for activity, I have to manually click on the tab to see if the envelope is lighted.  How about making the icon on the tab i.e. the title text change in some way, denoting that you have activity on the page?  We already add a message count for the chat tabs, so this shouldn't be very complicated.  Possible Example: Word to describe someone who goes to all the events in town! I'm looking for a short word that could describe people who are always going to every event in town. It doesn't need to be an existing word, feel free to create one of your own. It can also be made of words related to events and parties. (ex: club, event, guest list, etc.)  Edit  The word will serve as a new term to describ these people in a favorable way. It will probably be used for an app name so it need to be catchy and fun. ( Preferably ) Limit the post for differents custom post type in the same wp_query I have three custom post type:    books magazine videos   Now i want to limit the number of post for custom post type, for example:   books => 3 post magazine => 2 post videos => 1 post   I used a query post like this:  query_posts( array(     'post_type' =&gt; array(     'books',     'magazine',     'videos' ), 'paged' =&gt; $paged, 'posts_per_page' =&gt; 6,  )); $counter = 1; if (have_posts()) :     while (have_posts()) : the_post();   if (($counter == 2) || ($counter == 3) || ($counter == 4)) {         $div = 'alpha';     } elseif(($counter == 6)) {         $div = 'omega';     } else {         $div = '';     }   The problems is i cant limit the numbers by custom post type.  Any idea?  Thank you :) Is redirecting homepage to a page with keyword it's targeting helps in SEO?
