Vertical alignment in table: m-column, row size - problem in last column
I see that the code in many packages and examples contains percent signs % at the end of (many) lines. What are they used for? Do they affect the parsing of those lines? Please don't throw this one out as a duplicate of  I'm not asking about the plurality of the noun immediately following those two words - I'm interested in exactly why the example below is problematic (context: I have several children, one named John)...     1: One of my children's name is John.   I can't see any obvious reason why singular name there is completely unacceptable, but it certainly doesn't sit well with me. It seems to turn on whether one of my children can be treated collectively as the "subject" of the Saxon genitive 's, but I don't see a problem with...     2: It's actually one of my children's, but you can sleep in this bed.   I realise that in practice we'd normally pluralise names in the first example. But of course, this implies that one of attaches to my children's names, which isn't really the same construction.  So - is there some kind of "rule, principle" debarring #1 above? Or is it just "one of those things"?    (Apologies if my later switch from brothers to children invalidates any comments or answers.) Migrate database from Postgres to MySQL How do you check for whether a device is in a wifi deadzone? Can we calculate the standard error of prediction just based on simple linear regression output? The standard error of prediction in simple linear regression is $\hat\sigma\sqrt{1/n+(x_j-\bar{x})^2/\Sigma{(x_i-\bar{x})^2}}$.  My question is to calculate the standard error of prediction for $pop=1029$ just based on the following regression output. I can get all except $\bar{x}$. And I also know how to calculate the approximate standard error of prediction based on the standard errors of intercept and coefficient of $pop$, ignoring their correlation. Is it possible to have the dock in different positions in different desktop? Is it possible to have the dock in different positions in different desktops? In particular I'd like to change the settings between a normal desktop and a desktop where there's an app at full screen. In this way I'd keep the dock in lower side of the desktop when there's an app at full screen and vertically on the left side during normal use.  I have this problem that, sicne I usually have the dock vertically on the left, it pops out everytime i go to the far left in an app I'm using with full screen, and using this app I have to move the mouse to the left quite often. Largest Mass Diffraction Every time I install a new Linux kernel, it gets left in the grub_config, making the boot menu longer each time.    I know I can manually search through the installed packages and remove them.  Does Ubuntu provide any easier way to clean them up or keep them from showing in the boot list? Got problem with installation. "No root file system is defined." I'm very new with Ubuntu and generally with linux. I saw ubuntu and it seems like this OS is really good and stable, and so I decided to install it alongside my windows 7 OS.  I have a few problems with the installation. Here is what I did:   I downloaded the 64bit version from Ubuntu official website, and burned it on a dvd. I set the boot sequence to first load from my CD-Rom. Ubuntu installation started, and I chose "Install Ubuntu" in the menu. (where there is also a "Try Ubuntu" option) I clicked forward until I got into the installation type screen    As you can see, the installation wont show my actual details about my hard drive! I have 1 hard drive with 750 GB - 80 GB - My main drive with windows 7 OS 600GB - All of my stuff 20GB Free space that I saved for Ubuntu But the installation wont show that! Are amounts of money singular or plural? Are the two sentences correct or is one of them incorrect?     1) Five billion dollars is earmarked for the project.   2) Five billion dollars has been earmarked for the project.   I know dollars are countable. So I think both 'is' and 'has been' are correct here.   Also, do they differ in meaning? Clipping raster with vector boundaries using QGIS In QGIS I would like to clip a raster precipitation layer using an admin boundary layer that is vector data. However the Geoprocessing tools seem to be usable only for vector data. How can I clip this precipitation layer? This afternoon I set up a Win Server 2008 R2 system for use with Team Foundation source code control. In order to give my team-mates the right to connect, I had to create a user account for each person, 10 in total. (I can't, and I don't want to create a domain).  Now, after doing this, all user accounts are displayed in the login screen.  What can I do so that all the accounts are not displayed there? Missing settings in GNOME control center installed in Ubuntu MATE I installed GNOME Control Center following  to access Google Drive in Ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS (MATE desktop environment 1.12.1)   The problem is GNOME Control Center is only showing language support, printers, firewall setup and backups... not online accounts or other settings.  This is what I get:  ~$ gnome-control-center gnome-online-accounts   ** (gnome-control-center:5744): WARNING **: Ignoring launcher landscape-client-settings (missing desktop file)  ** (gnome-control-center:5744): WARNING **: Invalid categories System;Settings; for panel software-properties-gtk.desktop  ** (gnome-control-center:5744): WARNING **: Ignoring launcher ubuntuone-installer (missing desktop file)  ** (gnome-control-center:5744): WARNING **: Could not find settings panel "gnome-online-accounts"   Any ideas?  Thanks! is a simple way to script small GUIs.  Can anyone give a nice example with a button and a text widget. When the button is pressed should a shell command be executed and the output piped to the text widget.  If you have other nice and clean examples for useful tasks, please add them too. how to change a pose lib using script I want to make a button that changes the active poselib to another one from the list, a specific one. I look in the console and can't see any operator. any ideas? Which is more correct:     Apropos of your earlier comment, I decided to....   or      Apropos your earlier comment, I decided to...   Actually, apropos is so fancy a word, even I, a word maven if I do say so myself, am not entirely sure when to use it.  If I may add to my preposition question, are there any constructions where it would be appropriate to use something like with regard to and not apropos? Double-blind review with four references in a row? I've read a lot of answers here about double-blind reviews and thesis or single articles.  My problem comes from having four self-references in my article. I feel that if I include them all, could be very easy to infer that this is the fifth one (It's a 4-year granted project and I have been collaborating in a number of software components inside a bigger architecture, now it's the time to use them all to interact with other applications) . But if I ommit some of them, I could end being accused of self-plagiarism. The other articles have been published in the proceedings of conferences that didn't require double-blind reviews, this is the first submission I make to a conference that asks for it (Maybe because of being CORE A) Also not worthless to mention that I'm going to send it as a short paper, so actually it'd be very helpful to cite rather than to repeat past texts.  What should I do? Here is my situation: I know almost nothing about Perl but it is the only language available on a porting machine. I only have permissions to write in my local work area and not the Perl install location. I need to use the  Perl module from CPAN   How do I use this Parallel::ForkManager without doing a central install? Is there an environment variable that I can set so it is located?  Thanks  JD Traditional statistical tests, like the two sample t-test, focus on trying to eliminate the hypothesis that there is no difference between a function of two independent samples. Then, we choose a confidence level and say that if the difference of means is beyond the 95% level, we can reject the null hypothesis. If not, we "can't reject the null hypothesis". This seems to imply that we can't accept it either. Does it mean we're not sure if the null hypothesis is true?   Now, I want to design a test where my hypothesis is that a function of two samples is the same (which is the opposite of traditional statistics tests where the hypothesis is that the two samples are different). So, my null hypothesis becomes that the two samples are different. How should I design such a test? Will it be as simple as saying that if the p-value is lesser than 5% we can accept the hypothesis that there is no significant difference? Overlapping text in Database Schema SEDE Over at , there is overlapping text in the Database Schema under Close-As-Off-Topic-Reason-Types:  that makes it really hard to read.  This is also happening underneath &quot;Pending Flags&quot;, and seemingly with every long line in the schema.  This would be fine if you could increase the width of the list as you can with the height, which would in theory separate the lines, but you can't.  Can we fix this, please?  UPDATE: I have found that  post is almost exactly the same as mine, but steady on with duplicate votes.   comment says that it will be fixed, but that question was asked more than five years ago, and in that time the problem has not been resolved.  UPDATE 2: It seems that  would help.  I changed a little CSS/HTML, and came up with this:  Although mine is a little cruder than it could be.  This is just an example.
