Labeling custom path in TikZ
When using custom path style in a tikz graph the quotes label isn't printed
Using OPENQUERY to execute a script I have a SQL Server 2008 instance which I want to use to import data from an Oracle server.  I have set up a linked server that works correctly when running simple queries like SELECT * FROM table. However, if I declare a variable or loop through the rows in a table or anything else inside the OPENQUERY, I get errors.  Is it possible to do this using OPENQUERY? Do I need additional permissions? Let's say it again, we all make mistakes, and I have just made one.  A brief history: I was doing some stuff on a VPS (Debian) I'm renting, when I noticed some strange behaviour. Using the netstat command I saw an non-authorized connection through SSH. I didn't know what to do, so I decided to close his connection using iptables:  iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport ssh -s IP -j DROP   But I am tired, and I wrote  iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport ssh -j DROP   and I kicked myself (and everyone else) out...  How do I fix this? Blender Freestyle : Vertical lines On Blender , a picture is shown with two Suzannes made of vertical/horizontal lines.

How to change from csh to bash as default shell I have csh as my default shell, as shown by echo $SHELL. I want to switch to bash as my default shell. I tried the following approaches to no avail:   With chsh I get:  chsh: can only change local entries; use ypchsh instead.  With ypchsh I get:  ypchsh: yppasswdd not running on NIS master host ("dcsun2").    I only have .chsrc in my home directory and I cannot find any .profile files in /etc. How can I change my default shell to bash? Can't connect ad hoc network to Windows 8.1 Pro I would like AUCTeX (that is, Emacs with auctex loaded) to suggest more LaTeX macros when using completion (M-Tab or C-Ret) than it does by default. I would like to have macros from packages I have downloaded on CTAN and macros I have written. I would also like it if it would complete \section or other macros that can be accessed via C-c C-s, C-c C-e etc.  Solution: I could not make the code quoted by  work. i get an error on loading emacs but did not looked much further in because I ca bear the nuisance of appending a few lines to my files.  The link given by Ben ( contains a working solution, thus I accept his answer. I had come across this page in my researchs but somehow messed up things. What eventually worked for me was using TeX-auto-generate TEX AUTO to create a bunch of .el files in the ~/.emacs.d/auctex/auto direcoty. Note that this directory must be created beforhand. For some reasons TeX-macro-private did not achieve the wanted result. Diamond moderators  . In the second section from the top—entitled &quot;Ask questions, get answers, no distractions&quot;—that takes us to an opportunity to select one of a page full of questions from the site as the example question used on the about page. The selections currently available on physics are a little idiosyncratic. Is there some rhyme or reason to these? I suppose that we want a good example question to:  Be accessible to the intended audience (perhaps even to the newest and most naive person in that audience) Be judged at least decent by the community (positive score) Have more than one answer which are also judged acceptable (again positive score)  What else? How does a question end up on the list? If the subject of a sentence is separated by "and/or", should the verb be pluralized, as with "and", or agree with the rightmost subject, as with "or"? For example:     His co-workers and/or his boss was at fault.   vs.     His co-workers and/or his boss were at fault. Does JPA support mapping to sql views? I'm currently using Eclipselink, but I know now days most JPA implementations have been pretty standardized. Is there a native way to map a JPA entity to a view? I am not looking to insert/update, but the question is really how to handle the @Id annotation. Every entity in the JPA world must have an ID field, but many of the views I have created do not conform to this. Is there native support for this in the JPA or do I need to use hacks to get it to work? I've searched a lot and found very little information about doing this. Proving that 1- and 2-d simple symmetric random walks return to the origin with probability 1 How does one prove that a simple (steps of length $1$ in directions parallel to the axes) symmetric (each possible direction is equally likely) random walk in $1$ or $2$ dimensions returns to the origin with probability $1$?  Edit: note that while returning to the origin is guaranteed $(p = 1)$ in $1$ and $2$ dimensions, it is not guaranteed in higher dimensions; this means that something in a correct justification for the $1$- or $2$-d case must fail to extend to $3$-d (or fail when the probability for each direction drops from $\frac14$ to $\frac16$). Can domain masking be used to move content from a subdomain to a subdirectory? example.com is hosted on IP address c.c.c.c at host1, no access any windows server admin at all blog.example.com is  on IP a.a.a.a at host2, full access to Linux server admin, using WordPress   So basically, I can fiddle with subdomain all I want.  I can't 301 redirect because the content on host 1 is an eCommerce site that I have no server control over. Can't put WordPress on it, can't run scripts, can't do anything on the server period.  Is there a method to "mask" all the URLs on root blog.example.com so they appear as example.com/blog/ folder?  They can't actually be sent to example.com/blog/ as that doesn't exist. It just needs to look to the surfer as if they are there.  Can this be done with some kind of masking or something?  Will this be better for SEO as hopefully search engines will see the blog in a directory on the main domain? My DOM looks like this:  &lt;div id="d1"&gt;    &lt;div class="c1"&gt;             &lt;a href="#"&gt;&lt;img src="img1_on.gif"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;             &lt;a href="#"&gt;&lt;img src="img2_on.gif"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;   When someone clicks on an image, I want the image src to change to &lt;img src="imgx_off.gif"&gt; where x represents the image number 1 or 2.  Is this possible or do I have to use CSS to change the images? How can I prevent iPhoto from opening everytime I plug my iPad/iPhone?

Quite often, the phrase "x for x's sake" is used in English, and so one could describe someone as being "argumentative for argument's sake" to describe someone who is arguing for the sake of arguing.  However, is there an adjective that means the same thing?  For example, it could be used in the context:     I don't want to be [X], but [argument...]   ... indicating that your argument is necessary and not intended to irritate.

Answer index: How can I stitch a panorama correctly if I moved the camera along the horizontal axis? Here in Argentina, we have . All the houses and walls on that street have some kind of mosaic stuck to it, and it's very cool. It was made by a local artist .  Because to this piece of urban art is two blocks long, I've decided to make a panorama of it, by moving myself on an horizontal axis while taking photos. I mean, I took one photo, walked one step deeper along the street, took another photo, and so on.  When I tried to stitch it in AutoPano, the following deformed thing came out:   ()  And the other side of the block:   ()  After this, I've learned about parallax error and why you have to avoid moving when making panoramas. I mean, there are a lot of connection errors on both images. Especially in the second one, the part with the corner is quite problematic to stitch because to as I moved, the perspective of the view changed a lot.  So, is there any way to stitch this kind of panorama correctly? Would this only work on plain walls? Hello,  I'm getting this error every time when I boot my computer.

"To work for" vs. "to work in" vs. "to work at" Is the preposition in universal in conjunction with the verb ‘to work’ and can it be used with any organizations and businesses?  For example:        He works as a cook in a local hotel near here.   He works in an office in Chicago.   She works in a big company.   She works in the emergency unit at the hospital.   She works in a shoe repair shop.   After leaving school, he worked in a restaurant for a year. military hospital.   His sister works in a bank.   She works in a shoe factory.   He works in a steel plant.   She works in a gift store on weekends.   Ann works in a research institute.      When should the prepositions at and for be used? For example:        Barbara works at a travel agency.   She works at the local supermarket.   Now he works for a bank.   I work for a small non-profit organization.      I’ve never heard:     She works for a shoe factory.   But with a law firm it’s OK:     She works for a law firm.   Why? UK Visa in an expired Nigerian passport - what to use?
