SQL Server replication subscriptions marked as inactive Is there any way to force SQL Server NOT to mark subscriptions as inactive, ever?  It happens sporadically when there are connection issues and I don't want to have to reinitialize the subscription every time.  Note, I'm not talking about the subscriptions being marked as expired...just as inactive.  We have retention set to 0 (infinite). I'd rather have a big distribution database than have to reinitialize a 15GB database to a subscriber over the WAN. Anyway, the real issue here is that they are getting marked as inactive within just a few hours sometimes...or sometimes a few days...it seems sporadic. Is there any way to tell WHY SQL decided in its wisdom to mark them inactive? Is there a value that can be assigned to my time, i.e. an hourly rate, so that I can be given a receipt to remit to CRA come Income Tax Filing time?  I live in Canada. Minecraft webpage links in chat? Git for beginners: The definitive practical guide How to include jQuery and JavaScript files correctly? I'm doing it right now with the following code:   function uw_load_scripts() {     // De-register the built in jQuery     wp_deregister_script('jquery');     // Register the CDN version     wp_register_script('jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js', array(), null, false);      // Load it in your theme     wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' ); } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'uw_load_scripts' );   This works, but should I do this for everyone, like this, or for everyone but admin (so that backend uses the WordPress version?):  if (function_exists('load_my_scripts')) {   function load_my_scripts() {       if (!is_admin()) {       wp_deregister_script( 'jquery' );       wp_register_script('jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js', array(), null, false);      wp_enqueue_script('jquery');        }   }   }   add_action('init', 'load_my_scripts');   This version doesn't work at all actually, I get the WordPress jQuery-version and not the Google one.  Therefore, should I deregister the jQuery that is included in WordPress at all?    Also, how do I add my own scripts (slider scripts, modernizr and my own custom.js) the correct way? I guess I should do this via functions.php as well and not in the header like I'm doing it now, but I'm unsure of how I would do that. I know references are syntactic sugar, so code is easier to read and write. But what is the difference between a pointer variable and a reference variable? Can I use my Schengen visa for a completely different purpose and entry point? How to enable exFAT in Ubuntu 14.04 How to change the date format? Is this WUBI? What is "Installation size" setting for? I'm new to Ubuntu... I went to the downloads page and downloaded the Windows Installer as I am hoping initially to have a dual boot on my currently Win 7 PC (I would consider preserving my Win7 install as a VM under Ubuntu instead - advice?)  It's asking me to choose an "Installation size" but there's no explanation as to what the significance of this is. Is this a disc partition?  Can I increase it easily later if it's too small?  I came here to ask these questions and now I see a bunch of threads about 'WUBI' and possible downsides of installing Ubuntu this way. Is the Windows Installer I just downloaded going to give me WUBI? Error in updating to ADT rev 23 for Eclipse Verbatim in beamer showing error: "File ended while scanning use of \@xverbatim." I am using Texmaker and MiKTeX on Windows 7. I have the following beamer code,  \documentclass{beamer} \theme{AnnArbor} \begin{document} \begin{frame} \begin{verbatim}     \begin{frame}[&lt;alignment&gt;]    \frametitle{Frame Title Goes Here}    Frame body text and/or LATEX code    \end{frame}  \end{verbatim} \end{frame} \end{document}   I was expecting the following output,         \begin{frame}[&lt;alignment&gt;]        \frametitle{Frame Title Goes Here}        Frame body text and/or LATEX code        \end{frame}   But instead I got the following Error Message,  File ended while scanning use of \@xverbatim.   Can any one please point out the error here. As far as I know verbatim can have anything inside it.  Also when I tried the following code,  \begin{verbatim}  \ begin{frame}[&lt;alignment&gt;]  \frametitle{Frame Title Goes Here}  Frame body text and/or LATEX code  \ end{frame} \end{verbatim}   I got the following output,      \ begin{frame}[&lt;alignment&gt;]      \frametitle{Frame Title Goes Here}      Frame body text and/or LATEX code     \ end{frame}   But I don't want space between \ and begin and \ and end. Is there a page listing all fields? "Yesterday" time specification shown when it was actually the day before yesterday Looking at , I see "asked yesterday" (which I really hate; I'd like to see an exact time specification rather than this vague one, especially in the list of questions). But it was not asked yesterday! When I hover over it to show the exact time, it shows it was actually the day before yesterday!  This snapshot was taken at 2012-03-31 15:00 UTC (plus or minus a few minutes):    Whatever different opinions you may have on the implementation, yesterday is a word with a certain meaning. Redefining it is not a good idea. At least rephrase this as "1 day ago" or something. A couple of weeks ago I was travelling in a car (120 km/h approximately) and I saw a  flying in front of me (inside the car, near my nose, windows closed). I wonder how was that possible.   Does it mean is really flying at 120 km/h or the fly is being affected by some kind of gravity/force? Prove that if $\gcd(ab,c)=1$, then $\gcd(a,c)=1$. Symbolizing layer with graduated colors by date/time field? I've got a layer of polygons where each has a date associated with it.  I want to color the polygons with graduated colors, but I want the colors to start with the newest polygons and fade to the oldest polygons.  So far I haven't been able to find a way to do this in ArcMap (&lt;= 9.3.1) other than to create a new field and calculate some integer or float value based on the date.  Is it possible to use a date or time field directly?   The data is natively a date-time value There are far too many records to use any unique-value renderer Converting the date to a numerical field is an answer for a different question. I know how to detect when resistors are arranged in parallel or series arrangement and I can also find their equivalent resistance in simple circuits or when resistances are connected in form of triangle but what happens when the arrangement is complex like this :   Which resistors are parallel and which are in series ? How can I find the equivalent resistance in such cases ? Is there rule or method for figuring this out ? Approximation of real number to the power of irrational Say I have two numbers, $c\in\Bbb R^+\,,q\in\Bbb{R\setminus Q}$.  Is there a way to approximate the value of $c^q$?  This question bugging me because of how simple it sound in compare to how complicated it is. First I want to understand what a power of irrational number is, when talking about $\Bbb R^+$(I use this domain for sake of simplicity) we have very well defined actions for power a rational number, we can even use some theorems to get $c^{a/b}=\sqrt[b]{c^a}$, but when I am dealing with irrational number I can not do this.  I know that we have some definition for this because the solution of the equation $2^x=3$ is irrational.  So what exactly does it mean to take something to a irrational power and is there a way to approximate a numeric value for this? Show a connected metric space (X,d) is $\epsilon$-chainable for $\epsilon &gt;0$       $\epsilon$-chainable Definition      (X,d) is $\epsilon$-chainable if given any two points $a,b \in X$, $\exists$ a finite set $\{ x_0,x_1,...,x_n\}$ of points in X with $x_0 = a$, $x_n=b$ and $d(x_{n-1},x_n)&lt;\epsilon$, $\forall$ n      Clopen Definition      A set is clopen $iff$ its boundary is empty      Connected Metric Definition      Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space. It is connected $iff$ it has no proper subsets which are clopen      The following are equivalent:         $X$ is connected   The only subsets of $X$ that are clopen are $\emptyset$ and $X$   $\nexists$ non-empty, disjoint, open sets $A$ and $B$ such that $X=A\bigcup B$   $\nexists$ non-empty, disjoint, closed sets $A$ and $B$ such that $X=A\bigcup B$         Theorem      Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space, and let $S$ be any subset of $X$. Then $S$ is closed $iff$ $S^c$ is open.     So how would someone show this exactly?  Let the set $A$ be the set of all elements in $(X,d)$ that can be reached from $a\in X$ in a finite number of steps with length less than $\epsilon$.  Does this mean that there should be no isolated points? (an isolated point would be at distance infinity from any other point, or distance zero from itself, since $\epsilon &gt;0$ we don't want this?)  Knowing that $X$ is connected $\implies$the only subsets of X that are clopen are $\emptyset$ and $X$  Also, by construction of A;   A is the set of all $\epsilon$-chains between any element and $a$  And, so $A^c = \emptyset$ if $A$ was $\epsilon$-chainable (because A has to have a path from all elements to a, for this to be true, the complement wouldn't have anything in it)  Leaving only $A$ as the remaining clopen set  Does this make any sense? Or should an alternative be used, and how to formalize it.  Thanks.
