How do I compare 2 rows from the same table (SQL Server)? I need to create a background job that processes a table looking for rows matching on a particular id with different statuses. It will store the row data in a string to compare the data against a row with a matching id. I know the syntax to get the row data, but I have never tried comparing 2 rows from the same table before. How is it done? Would I need to use variables to store the data from each? Or some other way? (Using SQL Server 2008) I've always had a LOST.DIR folder on my external SD card, which until now has been empty.  Today my phone complained that my SD card was damaged and wouldn't mount it, so I pulled it out and looked at it on my computer.  There's now a 70237 file inside LOST.DIR which is 128 MB.  It starts with something like "&euml;&lt;MSWIN4.1", seemingly to indicate that it's a dump of a  (which makes no sense).  What did Android dump here and and why?  (I think I may have disconnected my phone from my PC yesterday without ejecting the drives first, so that might be the "why", though it was from Windows XP and not Windows 98.)  Is there a simple way to recover the information in this file? I'm trying to deactivate/remove/uninstall a default Client Side Web-Part (the Yammer one) in modern pages and I don't find a way to do it:    I would like the Yammer option to be not visible in the menu.

ApexPages.currentPage.getParameters().put('Id',myId) Give moderators the ability to mark reviews as "bad" From what I've seen, many SO moderators trawl completed reviews and watch out for robo reviewers; and manual banning them when they see enough (>= 3?) bad reviews. This is inefficient because:   It doesn't integrate into the audit system. There's no "memory" to it. If mod A finds that user X has made two (any number less than the threshhold) bad reviews, he may make a mental note but there probably won't be any permanent/shared memory of this. If moderator B finds this user at a later date, he will have to look through the entire history, including stuff that mod A has already checked.    What I propose is that moderators get the ability to mark individual reviews as "invalid" from the completed review page. This is only to be used for reviews where any reviewer who is paying attention (and knows the rules) would choose the opposite reason (spam and other low quality stuff).   These bad review flags are treated like audits for a user -- if the number of failed audits and bad reviews is enough, the user gets autobanned. The nice thing is that this system should (probably) easily be able to , fixing the "Why was I manual banned?" problem.  This could also be integrated well with . If $Y|X \sim \mathcal{N}(0,1)$ then is $Y^2|X \sim \chi^2(1)$? Suppose we have random variables $X$ and $Y$ such that $Y|X \sim \mathcal{N}(0,1)$. Can we then say that $Y^2|X \sim \chi^2(1)$? If we can, then what about when $Y|X \sim \mathcal{N}(0,\sigma^2/4)$, can we use the results of  to say that $Y^2|X \sim \frac{\sigma^2}{4}\chi^2(1)$?

Solution  Full solution for producing PDF/X compliant document can be found in MWE and answer to this question:   Adapted MWE and compilation method are taken from Leonid's answer to this question.  Please note that solution requires compilation with TeXLive 2015 (or later).  Original question  I am trying to compile my source with XeLaTeX to produce PDF/X-1a:2001 compliant document. Getting PDF/X-1a:2001 is possible with pdfx package (while using up-to-date TeX distribution), but only when document is compiled with pdflatex.  Since I am using OTF and TTF fonts in my document, I have to use XeLaTeX to compile it. This is MWE:  \documentclass{book} \usepackage[x-1a1]{pdfx} \begin{document} Some text \end{document}   When I try to compile this document with MiKTeX's 2.9 xelatex I get following error and compilation halts:  ! Undefined control sequence. l.111 \pdfminorversion                       =4 %  assumed for PDF/A ;  options may change this for...  ?    Is there any way to compile PDF/X-1a:2001 with XeLaTeX, either using pdfx or different package?  Ps. I used MiKTeX 2.9, because I don't want to update my TeX Live 2013/Debian distribution I normally use. With MiKTeX I get most recent version of pdfx package.  EDIT: Since it isn't obvious from Leonid's answer and is mentioned only in comments, please note that you need TeXLive 2015 in order for Leonid's answer to work fully. TeXLive 2013 (installed by your system's package manager) or MiKTeX 2.9 won't do the trick (this is true as of March 2016; it might change by the time you read this).    I also tried to compile this MWE with LuaLaTeX to see if this works. It didn't. I get following error:  ! Undefined control sequence. \pdfx@findUUID ... \pdfx@tmpstring {\pdfmdfivesum                                                    {#1}} \expandafter \pdfx@e... l.360 \pdfx@findUUID{\jobname.pdf}  ?

When you view a Stack Exchange site without being logged in, you see a friendly banner, prompting you to take a tour and understand the features of the site:    This links off to a high quality resource that can help new users understand how the site works. However, the moment a user signs up to the site, this banner disappears from immediate view and hides itself as a link under the help menu.  My proposal is to continue showing this banner until one of the following conditions are met;   The user gets the "Informed" badge The user reaches a set amount of reputation (250 or 500 should be sufficient) The user chooses to hide the banner   This should increase the exposure of the tour to new users, who are the people who need the tour, rather than hiding it the moment a user signs up. keyboard hard remap keys?

Schengen Visa Expiration I have a multiple entry 90 days Schengen visa (category C) from 15 March 2014 till 21 Dec 2014.    With this visa I entered The Netherlands on 4 April 2014 and left there on 13 April 2014.

Why are vias placed this way on a PCB? I used to check complex commercial PCBs specially those of graphics cards to see how professional PCB designers do their layout and learn from their techniques.

What's the role of all of these? I think they're connected to ground to act as a shield, if that's true, I can't understand technically how by this placement they achieve this shield?
