How to stop page numbering from resetting for each chapter
Prevent abstract environment to reset pagenumbering
Need help identifying short story about retired military colonel who fought war at end of time I read this story in an anthology in the eighties or early nineties.  It was about an old man who lived outside a western-like town, though that might have just been how I imagined it.  He goes to town and some ex-military thugs are there causing problems.  Flaunting some odd interdimensional military tech of some sort.  He doesn't want to intervene as doing so would be bad but in the end he must.     By intervening, his military identity is revealed and that causes him (some paradox or causality law) to have to go back and fight the war again.   The war is at the end of time or the universe.  The man is maybe a colonel of the sky something... Not much to go on; I have been searching my collection and wracking my brain for years trying to recall the story. Why is a different dll produced after a clean build, with no code changes? When I do a clean build my C# project, the produced dll is different then the previously built one (which I saved separately). No code changes were made, just clean and rebuild.   Diff shows some bytes in the DLL have changes -- few near the beginning and few near the end, but I can't figure out what these represent. Does anybody have insights on why this is happening and how to prevent it?   This is using Visual Studio 2005 / WinForms.  Update: Not using automatic version incrementing, or signing the assembly. If it's a timestamp of some sort, how to I prevent VS from writing it?   Update: After looking in Ildasm/diff, it seems like the following items are different:   Two bytes in PE header at the start of the file. &lt;PrivateImplementationDetails&gt;{guid} section  Cryptic part of the string table near the end (wonder why, I did not change the strings) Parts of assembly info at the end of file.   No idea how to eliminate any of these, if at all possible... Is there a difference between a LED Backlit and LED HD  Display on laptop monitor? or are they the same that is good for the eyes is there any diffrence to use nonlinear or liner activation function in single hidden layer network When computing the covariance matrix of a sample, is one then guaranteed to get a symmetric and positive-definite matrix?  Currently my problem has a sample of 4600 observation vectors and 24 dimensions. Why should a CTE start with a semi-colon? I was just looking at a post on  where Aaron Bertrand proposes using a CTE instead of a numbers table, which is an elegant way of performing the task at hand.  My question is, why does the first line of the CTE begin with a semi-colon?    ;WITH n AS (SELECT TOP (10000) n FROM    (SELECT n = ROW_NUMBER() OVER     (ORDER BY s1.[object_id])     FROM sys.all_objects AS s1     CROSS JOIN sys.all_objects AS s2   ) AS x ORDER BY n ) SELECT n FROM n ORDER BY n; -- look ma, no gaps!   Is this to ensure the WITH statement does not get parsed into a previous SELECT or something?  I see nothing in SQL Server 2005 BOL about using a semi-colon prior to the WITH. Is FFmpeg missing from the official repositories in 14.04? At the beginning of my document, I have created a counter using \newcounter. Over the course of the document, this counter is increases using \stepcounter. How can I display the final value of the counter in a place prior to the the final occurrence of \stepcounter, such as at the beginning of the document? What do the numbers in a man page mean? Extrude and bevel an imported svg curve I exported an svg 1.1 file from Adobe Illustrator CS6. I joined all the shapes by pressing Ctrl+J. I set the curve shape to 2D. Then I extruded using the right hand side panel:    So far so good. But when I try to apply even a slight bevel, all hell breaks loose:    It does get less insane if I bring the bevel down by multiple factors of 10... But then I really don't have much of a bevel.  Am I doing something wrong? Am I using the wrong kind of object? Should I be doing this with meshes? Do my curves just need cleaning up? Check all dependencies of a Record Type in the Organisation before deactivating it Sign of Estimate (Coefficient) of Interaction Terms I create a linear regression model with interaction term in the model say: $$y=a_0+a_1x_1+a_2x_2+a_3x_1*x_2+e$$ where $x_1$ is continuous and $x_2$ is binary. Now, I have couple of questions:   If $x_1$ and $x_2$ both are significant and have positive coefficients, that means that if $x_1$ and $x_2$ increase, then $y$ increases. What can I say if $x_1*x_2$ is statistically insignificant? Does it mean that increase in. Does it mean that for $x_2=1$, the effect of $x_1$ on $y$ is not changed, i.e. increase in $x_1$ still leads to increase in $y$? What if the interaction is statistically significant? What can I say if the interaction term is statistically insignificant and negative? Does it indicate that if $x_2=1$, increase in $x_1$ actually leads to decrease in $y$?   Thanks. Integrating $\int\frac{x^3}{\sqrt{9-x^2}}dx$ via trig substitution What I have done so far: Substituting $$x=3\sin(t)\Rightarrow dx=3\cos(t)dt$$ converting our integral to  $$I=\int\frac{x^3}{\sqrt{9-x^2}}dx=\int \frac{27\sin^3(t) dt}{3\sqrt{\cos^2(t)}}3\cos(t)dt\\ \Rightarrow \frac{I}{27}=\int \sin^3(t)dt=-\frac{\sin^2(t)\cos(t)}{3}+\frac{2}{3}\int\sin(t)dt\\ \Rightarrow I=18\cos(t)-9\sin^2(t)\cos(t)+c$$ Which is where I'm stuck. I can substitute back in for the $\sin(t)$ terms but don't know hot to deal with the $\cos(t)$ terms and back out information about $x$.   edited: because I miswrote the problem, I am sorry. What is the status icon that looks like a house? Resume a process via a PID number I wanted a daemon to start on boot so I added a line to /etc/rc.local that ended in "&amp;"  I did that so it would run in the background.  The daemon is loaded and working fine but when the daemon is running you can press keys that do other important things.  When I am finally logged in I wanted to resume process or send it a terminal (tty2) so I can do a couple of things.  I'm new to linux and not sure how to do this.  I do a ps -aux |grep uox to work out which PID it is. But not sure how to resume. how many terms will there be once you collect terms with equal monomials? What is the sum of all the coefficients? If you expand $(x_1+x_2+\cdots+x_k)^n$, how many terms will there be once you collect terms with equal monomials? What is the sum of all the coefficients?  I'm kind of lost here. This came up with other questions on the topic of binomial coefficients, and i have figured those out. I have spent almost an hour trying to figure where to start and haven't made any progress. We already had multiple questions about unbalanced data when using , , ,  and a number of other similar questions, what makes it a very popular topic! Unfortunately, each of the questions seems to be algorithm-specific and I didn't find any general guidelines for dealing with unbalanced data.  Quoting , dealing with unbalanced data     (...) heavily depends on the learning method. Most general purpose   approaches have one (or several) ways to deal with this.   But when exactly should we worry about unbalanced data? Which algorithms are mostly affected by it and which are able to deal with it? Which algorithms would need us to balance the data? I am aware that discussing each of the algorithms would be impossible on Q&amp;A site like this, I am rather looking for a general guidelines on when it could be a problem. I have a bunch of SD cards that do not have the little plastic switch for the read only setting. so Windows thinks it’s write protected or something. The card is not write protected by the software lock present on the SD card standard.  I’m using one with tape over the notch and it’s ugly. Also, the Thinkpad slot drags on the tape all the time so I’m afraid it will might loose in there eventually.  So, is there any way to tell Windows to ignore this lame write-protect feature?  I’m not interested on the SD card itself as it’s irrelevant for the issue at hand. Read this question as being about a 5.25” floppy disk drive instead of an SD card if you wish. I’m pretty sure the Windows settings are the same for both, really.  I’m  that there are 3 ways to secure an SD card. I’m talking about only the mechanical switch, which is the responsibility of the host to handle. Is there a way to rename (or do away with the name of) the bibliography page that is output using BibTeX?  If so, is the name dependent on the bibliographystyle, or is it something inherent within the BibTeX functionality? Do you ever need to specify 'javascript:' in an onclick?
