Return of getProperty() can't be used in if statement whereas same value as String variable works
How do I compare strings in Java?
I'm trying to display models that have shading drawn or baked directly on the textures, but I can't figure out how to disable Blender's default scene lighting. If there are no lights in the scene, everything is black, but I want to see the textured objects fully bright. How do I disable the lighting?  NOTE: Just before posting this, I found the "Shadeless" material property, which does more or less what I want. However, is there a way to globally toggle the default lighting? I have seen this a lot but i ran into this question today:    And the answer (while good) has 83 upvotes which seemed a little over the top.  I see dozens of answers of this caliber every week that only seem to get a few upvotes.    Was there some sort of SO policy that encouraged people to upvote more during this period?  Am I just imagining that answers from this period received more votes than comparable ones now? How to delete Windows.old in Windows 8 It seems to be a common thing that a Windows Update creates a Windows.old folder under C:\Windows.old My question is now, can it be deleted with Windows 8 and how can I do that?  If I try to manually delete it in Windows Explorer it does not let me, a permissions issue. The actual question was to find the area bounded by the curve $y=\int_{-1}^{1}(1-x^2)^ndx$ and coordinate axes. But I haven't came across these type of problems with power $n$. Embedding DLLs in a compiled executable Is it possible to embed a pre-existing DLL into a compiled C# executable (so that you only have one file to distribute)? If it is possible, how would one go about doing it?  Normally, I'm cool with just leaving the DLLs outside and having the setup program handle everything, but there have been a couple of people at work who have asked me this and I honestly don't know. I know I'm asking for the close-to-impossible -- as a real full-backup certainly requires root permissions. But still there are many folks around not wanting to root their devices -- afraid of voiding their warranties or bricking their devices, or just not having their devices supported by any rooting method.  I also know there were a lot of questions asked already on this topic, and I checked all of them having the backup tag -- none covers the entire topic, all just have pieces, and especially people new to Android (but other non-power-users as well) would have a hard time figuring out the best way.  So I want a detailed canonical answer to the question:  Not involving root-solutions, how to achieve a backup as close as possible to a full backup?  Please do not give simple one-liner answers like "Use app xyz [full-stop]." If mentioning an app (and I doubt a single app would be the answer here), include what parts are covered by it -- as well as ideas on how to fill the gaps it leaves. (And to make it absolutely clear: I know the first thing coming to mind is Titanium Backup -- I use it myself, but this does not apply here: This question is strictly about methods for non-rooted devices!) Moreover, the answer should be as generic as possible in terms of applying to a wide range of devices (i.e. it should not be restricted to one device or manufacturer).  I already mentioned having investigated all questions here tagged backup. These will certainly be helpful providing details for answers here, so I will list up the topmost ones concerning my question:            All these provide some details for my question (so feel free to get inspired by them) -- but I feel there are still details missing. Also it would be helpful to have a summary -- say, an answer including the full description of "the maximum possible".  A last criterium: While I'd consider cloud-based solutions legit, I'd favour local solutions. If you can provide both: all the better. But some people value privacy quite high (I'm one of them), and thus would not trust their data to some cloud service.    Thanks to Ryan, we now have a solution for a really complete backup of all apps and their data -- which I didn't dare to hope for! The only disadvantage: His solution only works for less than 10% of all Android users; namely those whose devices are running at least with Android 4.x.  So again, I ask the close-to-impossible: Any solutions applicable at least on Gingerbread (2.3.x) or, better, even Froyo (2.2.x) -- so they cover the majority of current devices? These solutions may involve multiple tools (try to keep it as simple as possible though; think of your mother to follow your instructions ;)  And keep in mind: NO ROOT!    To further motivate high-quality answers (and hopefully avoid low-quality ones), I will be a harsh one here: As I rarely do, I will down-vote answers not fitting the mentioned criteria on one end -- but on the other end, I will setup a bounty for the best answer (which cannot be done immediately, but earliest after 2 days).

Improving Review Queues - Design overview II: Changing review bans and other new features Do fontsize environments exist? Without any doubt there are fontsize switches in the form of control sequences (described  for instance.) But, from time to time I ran into code examples where environment versions of those were used, e.g. \begin{small}...\end{small}. After testing those successfully I began to incorporate them into my TeX vocabulary.  A few days ago @GonzaloMedina commented on one of my answers that those environments do not exists and constructions relying on them work by pure coincidence. Then I tried to find out more about those ominous environments. Ominous because they don't seem to be somehow documentated. (The only thing I found that tried to explain them in a somehow systematical manner was some Wikibooks resource.)  Are these environments real or not? How to search only unanswered questions with an open bounty ? I have a Python script that will need to be given to a client.   We are currently evaluating what license level the client will need in order to run the script for their software acquisition purposes.   We all have ArcGIS 10.1 Advanced license in our company.   I checked all the tools and extensions used in the script against the web help and found that they should work on the Standard license level.   Is there a way I can test the script against the Standard license level, when we have no Standard license level in or company (only the higher Advanced level)? Started new job.
