Why does a query run slower in a Stored Procedure than in the Query window?
find out which program pops up a command line window I have windows 10 home and from time to time I see a command line window popping up for less than a second. I want to find out which process is causing that. It's not very often that this window pops up so I need some tool that can run for a long time.  Does anyone have a good idea?  Regards Tobias As Joel points out in , in  (aka: K &amp; R), there is mention of this property of arrays in C: a[5] == 5[a]  Joel says that it's because of pointer arithmetic but I still don't understand. Why does a[5] == 5[a]? Where should I put  tags in HTML markup? Person, Persons, People, Peoples What is the purpose of delayed suspend (Ctrl-Y) in Bash? Book about a town that is transported by an explosion into a freezing desert It starts with a town that was hit by a mysterious explosion which transports that town into a desert. The weather is cold and people burn coal but they soon run out and send out an expedition to look for signs of life - they navigate the desert for a couple of days and come across a glass dome covering a city. Apparently they have been transported far in the future.  And that's where I stopped reading and want to resume now. Don't remember the title or the author and it's at least 20 years old.

When I click on a link on a non-browser app (e.g. google search or google reader) it asks me which browser to choose (as expected).  Can I set a default browser for some pages and a different default for others? Poll on best VNC / remote desktop software for assisting others on Windows/Mac machines from Ubuntu?    I've heard good things about TeamViewer and Fog Creek Copilot, but I'm wondering if the included GNOME Vinaigre VNC client is good enough for this.  To specify, I'm looking for best option based on:   SIMPLEST ease-of-use for client to download/use on their end. See #1. Works cross-platform I am able to control client's mouse and/or keyboard from remote machine. Spoiler warning!  During the first escape attempt in Portal 2 (when GLaDOS is still in charge) she opens a door for you which you can choose to go through instead of following Wheatley (the blue-eyed ball). What happens if you go there? I would like to get all descendant text nodes of an element, as a jQuery collection. What is the best way to do that? What is the word for the order of succession in which son assumes the throne after father? It can be any son-younger son after elder son after father. Also, what can be the term for only a single family in power? Please answer. Show that when $BA = I$, the solution of $Ax=b$ is unique I'm just getting back into having to do linear algebra and I am having some trouble with some elementary questions, any help is much appreciated.  Suppose that $A = [a_{ij}]$ is an $m\times n$ matrix and $B = [b_{ij}]$ and is an $n\times m$ matrix and $BA = I$ the identity matrix that is $n \times n$.  Show that if for some $b \in \Bbb{R}^m$ the equation $Ax = b$ has a solution, then the solution is unique. I am a Chinese citizen holding a HK SAR passport. How long am I able to visit the UK within a 365-day period?  My stamp is for 6 months. Could I leave within 6 months but re-enter again a couple of weeks for another 6 months? Why is the t-test designed for small samples? Let $E$ be a Banach space, $\mathcal B(E)$ the Banach space of linear bounded operators and $\mathcal I$ the set of all invertible linear bounded operators from $E$ to $E$. We know that $\mathcal I$ is an open set, and if $E$ is finite dimensional then $\mathcal I$ is dense in $\mathcal B(E)$. It's not true that $\mathcal I$ is dense if we can find $T\in\mathcal B(E)$ injective, non surjective with $T(E)$ closed in $E$, since such an operator cannot be approximated in the norm on $\mathcal B(E)$ by elements of $\mathcal I$ (in particular $E$ has to be infinite dimensional).  So the question is (maybe a little vague): is there a nice characterization of $\overline{\mathcal I}^{\mathcal B(E)}$ when $E$ is infinite dimensional? Is the case of Hilbert space simpler? Should seemingly arbitrary things like "play piano for Church" or "intramural badminton" go on M.S. or PhD applications in sciences/engineering? And if they should, I assume that these things should go on a resume under something like "Activities and Community Service". I mean I consider being able to sight read music to play at my Church as a significant feat (how many people can do that?) and might sway one person on an admissions committee if he or she enjoys music and understands how hard one must have worked to accomplish this.   Badminton?.... perhaps not so much I have the following code for my masterpage:  &lt;%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="MasterPage.master.cs" Inherits="MasterPage" %&gt; &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;  &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt; &lt;head runat="server" style="position:relative"&gt;     &lt;title&gt;Masterpage&lt;/title&gt;     &lt;asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="head" runat="server"&gt;     &lt;/asp:ContentPlaceHolder&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt;     &lt;form id="main" runat="server" style="position:relative"&gt;     &lt;div&gt;         &lt;asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="MainContent" runat="server"&gt;         &lt;/asp:ContentPlaceHolder&gt;     &lt;/div&gt;     &lt;/form&gt;     &lt;br style="clear:both" /&gt;     &lt;form id="footer" style="position:relative"&gt;     &lt;div&gt;         &lt;center style="font-size:small"&gt;Footer content&lt;/center&gt;     &lt;/div&gt;         &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt;   My problem is that when the MainContent isn't filling up the page the footer is not at the bottom of the page. Is there a way to force the footer to stay on the bottom of the page if the main content isn't pushing it all the way down? When the main content is "big" enough it pushes the footer down with the content and displays on the bottom when scrolling down, but not if it is to small.  Anybody know how to fix this?
