Convert Plain Text to Hyperlink in Outlook
How to replace text in the body of an incoming message with a hyperlink in Outlook 2010?
When i put the code $(f_{\mathcal{X}},f_{\mathcal{X}}^{\partial})$ I get the following:  But I want the subscripts to be aligned. How can I do this? Does herd behavior influence the SO sites? Are you influenced by existing votes? That is, if a question or answer has a large number of up votes, are you more likely to vote it up (and similar for down)?  The reason I'm putting this question is this: on these sites we see how other people vote before we do. This almost certainly influences us (see resources, below) - just as we can be influenced by our  (people often naturally pick the busy one).  This trend may also be further influenced by rep - do we give more weight to the answer of someone with 10K rep than someone with 10 - even if they both have e.g. zero votes?  And if this does happen, is it even a problem?  I'm not looking here for solutions - right now I'm just curious as to whether this is something you recognise.  Clarification edit: I'm referring to voting here. Example: if you see a question or answer with 20 plus votes, are you more likely to vote it up than if it has no votes, or a negative number vote?  Bounty: I've been so impressed at the quality of answers and comments here that I'm offering a small bounty to encourage more great responses and discussion.  Wrapped up: Bounty awarded to the answer that received the most votes. In light of the question, it only seemed appropriate...  Resources: Why does this steam engine fail to run? What are the most common pitfalls awaiting new users? A real solution to ambiguous tags Introduction Even within a site's relatively focused range of topics (it's unlikely anybody on SO will think  refers to the solar system's star), some tags are inherently ambiguous. There are currently two unsatisfying options:  Declare that the tag is only to be used for one of the possible meanings, write a tag wiki explaining it, and link from there to the newly created tags for the other meanings, and keep cleaning up the tag whenever someone ignores the tag wiki popup explaining the tag. Use alternative tags for all meanings (e.g. cd-command and compact-disk, instead of cd), and keep removing the undesired tag whenever it pops up again. And it will. The  is not deterring users from creating unnecessary or redundant tags.  Blacklisting tags is a complicated ritual occurring once in a blue moon, at most, and involves a dragon, a team member, and sacrifices to be burnt. It also makes those other, unambiguous tags not easier to discover, if it were applied to ambiguous tags. I don't consider this to be a viable option in this case. Proposal Here's the proposed : Just like a tag can be declared a synonym of another tag, basically changing all references to the synonym to references to that other, canonical tag, it should be possible to make it a disambiguation tag (or ambiguous tag) for multiple other tags. It's a logical progression from &quot;You entered a term with the same meaning as this other term&quot; to &quot;You entered a term with the same meaning as one of these other terms, please choose the correct meaning&quot;. Use of the tag should force the user to choose one of the alternatives presented:  &quot;, did you mean  or ?&quot; &quot;, did you mean , , or ?&quot; &quot;You entered 'vm', did you mean  or ?&quot; &quot;You entered 'sas', did you mean  or ?&quot; &quot;You entered 'kvm', did you mean  or ?&quot; &quot;You entered 'mono', did you mean  or ?&quot; &quot;You entered 'dsl', did you mean  or ?&quot;  Not all of these examples might be good (I'm not sure e.g. about the first two SO examples), but that's not really the point here anyway — they should just convey how this could be used. Note how some of these tags would probably never be used if users had to type them, and yet everything shorter is ambiguous. This could probably be mostly solved by extending the synonym/tag wiki excerpt dropdowns shown when a user enters the tags, proposing the alternatives for an ambiguous tag entered by the user (like a synonym suggestion, but with multiple options). If ignored, the user could still be shown an error message like with blacklisted tags, but by designing the selection dialog well, it should be possible to prevent that in most cases.  Related topics   This topic is related, but the user seems to have accepted the inclusion of tag wiki excerpts in the tag suggestions drop-down as sufficient.   This requires extensive discussion and team involvement (i.e. the status quo)   This topic has no real solution, except manual retagging. breaking of output into new lines What do the symbols on the main menu mean? If you swipe all the way to the left on the menu and then some, this sequence of symbols appears. (Do not pay any mind to the white circles: it's where I was holding my finger. The space between the first few and the last three symbols is also not present in game.)    What gives? Grepping logs for IP addresses How can I re-enter the US after time in Canada on the VWP? I am an Australian citizen, currently studying in Canada.   I entered the United States In July 22nd for 3 days, where I stayed in Seattle before leaving to return to Vancouver. I then again entered the states on 11th of October and returned on the 18th of October.  On October 19th my original and first Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), expired. I was under the impression that if I was to travel into the United States again I would have to apply for another ESTA and start the 90 days again, which I was planning on around December the 10th. In addition to this I am flying into Los Angeles on the 17th of December 2014 (where I plan to travel around the USA until flying out of Los Angeles again on 18th of January back to Australia).  However, after speaking to friends and looking at the website I have become confused on what my next course of action should be.  I am told that I cannot apply for another ESTA and be granted another 90 days visit into the USA, whilst I am in Canada and thus not be able to take any of my flights.  What would be the most appropriate action so that I can take my flights leaving North America and also travel the United States? Upgrading from Yosemite to El Capitan, but not Sierra We have an older iMac (Model A1311, Mid 2011). It has been running Yosemite. We have run into some of the WIFI issues associated with Yosemite.   Is it possible to upgrade to El Capitan but not Sierra?   El Cap has been out longer. Its my wife's computer, its older, and I really don't want to be debugging Sierra until a few  more "dot" releases come out. I am wondering how to recreate some kinds of effects (you can easily do in Photoshop) in Blender.  I want to create the gradient textures like ones pictured below, should I render objects and blur them in compositor? Or can I achieve it using only material nodes? Cannot connect MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) (10.13.3) to the internet through my Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. I am receiving this error under System Preferences/Network:   "Apple USB Ethernet Adapter has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet." IP Address: 169.254.59.248 Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0   I can connect to the internet with the same ethernet port on my Windows 10 machine. When I replace the IP address with a the Wi-Fi IP address I use to successfully connect to the same network under "Using DHCP with manual address", the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter icon is green and displays the message "Apple USB Ethernet Adapter is currently active and has the IP address xx.xx.xx.252." However there is no actual internet connection (i.e., I cannot visit any website).  According to  to a similar problem, I can:   Find and disable whatever firewall is intercepting the DHCP return traffic. According to System Preferences/Security &amp; Privacy/Firewall, my firewall is off. Is there anywhere else I can check for additional firewalls? Would firewalls somehow impact ethernet and Wi-fi differently?  Inspect the network traffic or the router logs to see if and why the Mac DHCP broadcast packet is being ignored. How do I check network traffic on my Mac? I am comfortable using the terminal.   I have also tried steps listed as potential solutions in :   To reset the firewall, go to the /Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/ folder and remove the file called "com.apple.alf.plist," and then restart your computer. On my computer I went to /Library/Preferences/ and ran sudo rm com.apple.alf.plist If that was already set, try the "Advanced" button, then "Renew DHCP Lease" Removing their "Ethernet" config from the Network settings and then re-adding   Does anyone have other suggestions? Thanks in advance LaTeX templates for writing a thesis Aside from CTAN, what are good resources/repositories for Latex templates? In particular, I'm looking for some pretty Thesis templates (I'm familiar with classicthesis) How do I reset the Windows XP Administrator password? Difference between force.com and salesforce.com? What the difference between the two?  This description seems to be a bit out of date and underspecified. How can I make Windows Paint save by default as JPEG format? Every time I want to save an image I've pasted into the  application, it chooses a BMP/DIB format (which is the worst for saving things from the clipboard).  How can I hack Paint into defaulting to the JPEG format when saving images?  I am using Windows XP SP3 and Paint 5.1 at the moment. I hope though that any hacks might be generic and I'd be able to use them across all my Windows machines.

I am not sure if it holds in this case, but I have tried to apply the idea that proves it in representation theory (see for example Theorem 4.3  that uses Maschke's theorem or in questions  and ).  The converse of Schur's Lemma in finite dimensional vector spaces is:     Let $V$ be a finite dimensional vector space over the complex numbers. Let $S$ be a set of endomorphisms of $V$ and assume that every endomorphism $A$ of $V$ such that $$AB=BA\text{ for all }B\in S$$ is of the form $\lambda I, \ \lambda\in\mathbb{C}$. Then $V$ is a simple $S$-space.   (*an endomorphism of $V$ is a linear operator from $V$ to $V$  *$V$ is a simple $S$-space if the only $S$-invariant subspaces of $V$ are $V$ itself and the zero subspace)  What I've tried so far:  Assume to the contrary that $V$ is not a simple $S-$space. Then, there exists a subspace $W$ of $V$ such that $W\not =\{0\}$, $W\not= V$ and $W$ is $S$-invariant. Let $W'=V\setminus W$. Then, since $V$ is finite, we can easily prove that $V=W\oplus W'$ (this is my attempt to translate Maschke's theorem in vector spaces). Consequently, for every $v\in V$, there exists unique $w\in W$ and $w'\in W'$, such that $v=w+w'$. Define the projection $P:V\rightarrow V$ by $Pv=w$ for every $v\in V$.   What is left to prove is that $PB=BP$ for all $B\in S$. Then $P$ is clearly not a scalar and thus we have the contradiction we are looking for.  There is a difficulty in showing that $PB=BP$ for all $B\in S$, because $W'$ might be $S$-invariant or not. More precisely:   Let $v\in V=W\oplus W'$ and $v\not =0_V$.  If $v\in W$ then $Bv\in W$ because $W$ is $S$-invariant, therefore: $PBv=Bv$ and $BPv=Bv$.  If $v\in W'$ then $Pv=0$, hence $BPv=B\cdot 0=0$, and  (i) if $Bv\in W'$ then $PBv=0$.  (ii) if $Bv\in W$ then $PBv=Bv$ and this is where the problem occurs.  Any hints, ideas or counterexamples would be very helpful. What is tail recursion? Whilst starting to learn lisp, I've come across the term tail-recursive. What does it mean exactly? Diff is a great tool to display the changes between two files. But how to display the similarities of two text files (while ignoring the differences)?  I.e. sample input:  a: Foo Bar X Hello World 42  b: Foo Baz Hello World 23   Pseudo output (something like this):  @@ 2,3 =Hello World   Just sorting both files and using comm is not enough, because in that case the line information is lost.
