Best practice to do a table and a longtable in landscape mode over the full width of the page
My table doesn't fit; what are my options?
In The Force Awakens, we see Rey pouring some flour-like polystarch rations into water so that the flour amazingly transforms into something that looks like bread. What are these rations? Is there any documentation of the fictional chemistry and biology that makes the starch rations behave as they do? Is a time series the same as a stochastic process? A stochastic process is a process that evolves over time, so is it really a fancier way of saying "time series"? Edit Mode Transparent Objects Start new chapter on same page I am reading Boyd &amp; Vandenberghe's Convex Optimization. The authors use curved greater than or equal to (\succcurlyeq)  $$f(x^*) \succcurlyeq \alpha$$  and curved less than or equal to (\preccurlyeq)  $$f(x^*) \preccurlyeq \alpha$$  Can someone explain what they mean? Every once in a while I see users having issues to update due to errors like this:  E:Type 'ain' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/some-ppa.list'   with varying types/line numbers/source list files (often after removing a PPA).  How can such an error be fixed? How to remove the association between two Gmail accounts? I want to remove that other account. Both of them are Gmail accounts. How could I do? Find the volume of the tetrahedron with the vertices $P(1,1,1)$, $Q(1, 2, 3)$, $R(3, 1, 2)$, and $S(2, 3, 1)$. How do I set the grub timeout and the grub default boot entry? In Ubuntu 12.04 (or above), how do I set the GRUB time and the default OS (that I see at boot time) as I'm dual-booting Windows (7/8) and Ubuntu (12.04 or above)? How to fight off Google Analytics referrer spammers? Last months I have lots of referrer spammers in my GA statistics. Their count is ~10x higher than count of legit visitors (my site is not very popular yet). I've turned on an option to hide known spammers in GA settings, but it didn't help at all. It seems these spammers are using scripts to spam directly to GA (i.e. they are not logged in my IIS).  Is there anything I can do to stop these spammers?    UPD 10 months later, and they started spamming using fake target page names... and Google is still doing nothing about it. I've set up an Ubuntu 14.04 Server (from an Ubuntu 12.04 Server) but today I wanted to look in the auth.log but this file is not used. It seems that ´syslog´ was deleted.  How does Ubuntu 14.04 log? I need this for a server.  Thank you. How does the 2009 Star Trek film mesh with Enterprise canon? All of the events in the 2009 Star Trek movie would have taken place after the adventures of Captain Johnathan Archer and company.  So, unless J.J. Abrams and friends decide to completely hand-wave that bit of history as well, all of the events in Enterprise should (in theory) still be able to line up with this new timeline.  Are there any points of conflict in this?  How about any time-travel episodes in the Enterprise series which may have happened differently after the interventions of Nero?  Are there possible good explanations for such conflicts, or are there some which are irreconcilable?  NOTE:  I'm not arguing here whether or not ST2k9 is a part of Star Trek canon.  In fact, this question is specifically granting that it is.  I just want to know if there's any conflicts between the new movie and the existing Star Trek history that remains applicable to it.

How can I check the existence of an element in jQuery?  The current code that I have is this:  if ($(selector).length &gt; 0) {     // Do something }   Is there a more elegant way to approach this? Perhaps a plugin or a function? Noetherian property for exact sequence Let $0 \to M' \xrightarrow{\alpha} M \xrightarrow{\beta} M'' \to 0$ be an exact sequence of $A$-modules. Then $M$ is Noetherian is equivalent to $M'$ and $M''$ are Noetherian.  For the ''$\Leftarrow$'' case:  I guess if we let $(L_n)_{n\geq 1}$ be an ascending chain of submodules of $M$, then $(\alpha ^{-1}(L_n))_{n\geq 1}$ is a chain in $M'$, and $(\beta(L_n))_{n\geq 1}$ is a chain in  $M''$. For large $n$ both these chains are stationary. Then why we know the chain $(L_n)$ is stationary?   Thanks! How can I fix "unbalanced brackets" in my data tag? Looking for the title of an old sci-fi book, pretty sure it is a Baen or Del Rey imprint. Basically, mankind has reached the stars and expanded throughout the galaxy. Suddenly, an unknown race appears and begins a war of extermination against man. Finally, the galaxy is desolate, and one man remains. He is in a starship with an AI and becomes injured in the battle.  The ship's AI takes over and speeds out into the unknown, followed by the last remaining member of the unknown alien race. As all speeds are at tremendous multiples of the speed of light, the man cannot get away, but the alien cannot catch up.  Finally, communication is opened, at which point the man asks "why?" The alien tells him that man had discovered immortality, but that it required the death of a member of a race known as the Flower People for every human who achieved immortality. The alien says that Man would have found the answer eventually, but that genocide was so intolerable that the aliens came from another dimension, to which they could never return, to stop Man, which resulted in the war of extermination.  Finally, the light speeds become so great that the two remaining living beings in the universe approach the Big Crunch. As the Man begins to dive into the singularity, with the alien hot on his heels, he says that maybe there will be room in the next universe for both races to live in peace, and the final line is "not with a whimper, but with a roar of triumph"!

The adept helps him open his mind by using a cube. One of his powers, I believe, is to go into dreams of people that  he knows. He helps his young female neighbor friend by doing this, opening a door in her mind. He tries to open the mind-door of a local older bully, but finds out the young man can't be helped because he has been abused mentally and physically. I don't believe the book I read is past 1995. It might have the word "adept" in it. Linux - why do the su and sudo binaries need to be set-UID root? I am trying to find the correct reason for the stated question. My understanding is that:   sudo needs to read the /etc/sudoers file which is only readable by root, which is why it needs to be set-UID root su is going to create a new shell with a different real and effective UID, and needs to check the password. To check the password, it needs to read /etc/shadow, which is why it needs to be set-UID root. After checking password, it would need to call setuid() on the forked process, and to use an arbitrary UID argument, its parent process must have root as effective UID, so this also makes another reason.   Are the above reasons correct ?
