I know that it can be done with graphics packages like TikZ, but it seems to be a bit of an overkill. And for those not already familiar with the TikZ system, learning it can be a bit of a barrier. So my question is     Assuming the advanced graphics capabilities are not necessary, and I just need a bare-bones flow chart (which should be implementable just using the picture environment), is there a LaTeX package for simply making a flow chart? Error "Power::infy: Infinite expression 1/0 encountered". Why do I get this? how to hide files from package explorer I am getting these warnings every time I update my initramfs image(-s) with  on my Dell PowerEdge T20 server running    10.0. Is there a fix?

Whilst I know that for now that only IE supports VML, I'd much rather detect functionality than platform.  SVG appears to have a few properties which you can go for: window.SVGAngle for example.  Is this the best way to check for SVG support?  Is there any equivalent for VML?  Unfortuntaly - in firefox I can quite happily do all the rendering in VML without error - just nothing happens on screen. It's quite hard to detect that situation from script. Why does a balloon spiral in the air instead of moving in a straight line? Does a polymorphed creature remember who his friends are? My web application has a login page that submits authentication credentials via an AJAX call. If the user enters the correct username and password, everything is fine, but if not, the following happens:   The web server determines that although the request included a well-formed Authorization header, the credentials in the header do not successfully authenticate. The web server returns a 401 status code and includes one or more WWW-Authenticate headers listing the supported authentication types. The browser detects that the response to my call on the XMLHttpRequest object is a 401 and the response includes WWW-Authenticate headers. It then pops up an authentication dialog asking, again, for the username and password.   This is all fine up until step 3. I don't want the dialog to pop up, I want want to handle the 401 response in my AJAX callback function. (For example, by displaying an error message on the login page.) I want the user to re-enter their username and password, of course, but I want them to see my friendly, reassuring login form, not the browser's ugly, default authentication dialog.  Incidentally, I have no control over the server, so having it return a custom status code (i.e., something other than a 401) is not an option.  Is there any way I can suppress the authentication dialog? In particular, can I suppress the Authentication Required dialog in Firefox 2 or later? Is there any way to suppress the Connect to [host] dialog in IE 6 and later?    Edit Additional information from the author (Sept. 18): I should add that the real problem with the browser's authentication dialog popping up is that it give insufficient information to the user.  The user has just entered a username and password via the form on the login page, he believes he has typed them both correctly, and he has clicked the submit button or hit enter. His expectation is that he will be taken to the next page or perhaps told that he has entered his information incorrectly and should try again. However, he is instead presented with an unexpected dialog box.  The dialog makes no acknowledgment of the fact he just did enter a username and password. It does not clearly state that there was a problem and that he should try again. Instead, the dialog box presents the user with cryptic information like "The site says: '[realm]'." Where [realm] is a short realm name that only a programmer could love.  Web broswer designers take note: no one would ask how to suppress the authentication dialog if the dialog itself were simply more user-friendly. The entire reason that I am doing a login form is that our product management team rightly considers the browsers' authentication dialogs to be awful. Where is .bash_profile? I want to put new aliases to my .bash_profile file, but I cannot find this file. Where is it supposed to be? I have a Python module installed on my system and I'd like to be able to see what functions/classes/methods are available in it. I want to call the help function on each one. In Ruby I can do something like ClassName.methods to get a list of all the methods available on that class. Is there something similar in Python? eg. something like: from somemodule import foo print(foo.methods)  # or whatever is the correct method to call Suppose Pat is male. Which one is correct?     I found out Pat is male.      I found out Pat was male.   Does the following change make any difference?     She said Pat is male.      She said Pat was male.   Suppose you created a mathematical model. When you are describing a result, which one (or neither) is correct?     The model analysis shows that the equilibrium is stable.      The model analysis showed that the equilibrium is stable. Equivalence Relation problem What is the correct formula for gravitational time dilation for a satellite in a circular orbit? In the Wikipedia article on  I see two formulae for the gravitational time dilation. One contains $\sqrt{1 - r_0/r}$ but the other $\sqrt{1 - 1.5 r_0/r}$. What formula should I use to calculate the time dilation due to gravity inside a satellite? The speed induced time dilation is of course just special relativity.  With the first of these two formulas I can perfectly reproduce the graphs on time dilation as a function of $r$,  I find that the two contributions to time dilation cancel at 1.5 Earth radii, all numbers are OK... But why not the second formula? Log4Net: Programmatically specify multiple loggers (with multiple file appenders) How to (programmatically, without xml config) configure multiple loggers with Log4Net? I need them to write to different files. Is it possible now to use microtype with opentype fonts? Can I use the "Scan" button with SANE? I have an HP Deskjet with integrated scanner. It has a "Scan" button on its top, but this button does not interact with the xsane program on my Debian machine: To get a page scanned, I have to initiate the scanning process from xsane.  Is there a setting (or a scan program) that allows me to press the scan button and cause the program to scan a page? Replicate data from one list to another list sharepoint I have a list A with columns Emp ID, First name &amp; last name and list B wih column name Emp ID, First name, last name , phone number and address.  I want functionality such that when i enter item in List A and save same data should get copied in 3 columns of list B. Can someone help me with the approach. Thnks What's the Best Way to Shuffle an NSMutableArray? If you have an NSMutableArray, how do you shuffle the elements randomly?  (I have my own answer for this, which is posted below, but I'm new to Cocoa and I'm interested to know if there is a better way.)    Update: As noted by @Mukesh, as of iOS 10+ and macOS 10.12+, there is an -[NSMutableArray shuffledArray] method that can be used to shuffle. See  for details. (But note that this creates a new array, rather than shuffling the elements in place.) What happens when a creature enchanted with Soul Link would deal lethal damage to a player? Player A has 3 life left. Player B attacks with a  that has been enchanted by Player A's . Does player B win, or does nothing happen?  On the one hand, "whenever" makes it sound like the trigger (dealing damage) and the effect (healing damage) happen simultaneously.  On the other hand, combat damage doesn't go on the stack, while most other things do. So, possibly the combat damage is dealt, state-based actions are checked, and now it's too late for the Soul Link effect to heal player A.  If anyone knows which way is correct, my thanks! How do I check if a list is empty?
