SQL Server Linked Server to Microsoft Access How to instantiate polymer component programmatically in dartlang? I can’t get used to the new Unity system. I’d like to move the left Unity panel to the bottom of screen (like Windows 7 – more similar is better).  But I can't find a way. Is it possible? Java - Splitting a CSV file into an Array Allow the author to delete their own question after closure, if other rules permit it I've read through a few "I want to delete my own question" threads on  already, and haven't found any that particularly cover this case.  I asked a question recently on :    This was voted closed as a duplicate of this question:    Since the latter question was obviously an appropriate duplicate, and my question had no votes or answers whatsoever, I decided I would just delete it.  But then, I was greeted by this error:     To allow for possible reopening, you may delete in 2 days     This all happened within hardly 20 minutes of me posting the question in the first place.  I fail to understand the point of this.  Perhaps if there were some up-votes or answers to the question, it might make sense.  However, as it stands, we now have a question with:   No votes whatsoever (up or down). No answers. Only a single (and largely irrelevant) comment not made by the OP. Five 3k+ rep users agreeing it is duplicate and therefore superfluous. The OP expressly desiring the question to be deleted, implying:   The OP has probably reviewed the duplicate question, and found their answer there. The question holds no further value to the OP. The OP agrees (with the close-voters) that the question provides no added value to the community.    At this point, what good reason could there be for disallowing the OP to delete their own question?  Could the system be modified to permit this? I am having a problem running the CDC change capture job against some of my test databases.  The error message I'm getting is the following:     Executed as user: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE.

How can I fix this? How to put small numbers outside the pie slices without making a mess I'm new to LaTeX and need some help with my figures.

Thanks in advance :) Do electrical devices "take what they need" One concept of electronics I have a hard time understanding is if things like motors, actuators, solenoids etc. use as much power as they need or what you give them.   If a motor needs 12 volts and 500ma and I supply it with 12 volts and 3000ma will it only consume 500ma? Also, if I supply it with 15volts and 500ma what will happen?   It seems logical that an LED and a DC motor are way different when it comes to requiring/using electric where as an led has to be completely regulated and (I assume) a DC motor doesn't.   Is my understanding wrong? Moving all files to a new computer, my concern is links I'm moving all files to a new computer, via an external hard drive. I am certain that broken links will be a concern. What can I do to fix this? Is there a 'Best Practices' kind of way to prevent this problem beforehand? I have many hundreds of .blend files, and of course, I fear losing them. Should I keep my swap file on an SSD drive? I'm considering getting an SSD drive to run as the primary OS partition.  As I understand, this should provide a substantial improvement in performance.     My question is this: Should I leave the swap file on that drive?     The swap partition will be largely random seeks and so should benefit from the speed.  On the other hand, it will be constantly written to which will wear out the drive faster. For example,      I like chocolate, vanilla, and lemon and orange ice cream.    Indicating "lemon and orange" is a combined flavor, as an item in the list needing an initial and. As per the following example, and as in  In bash, where has the trailing newline char gone?, I want to know "why" it happens    x="$(echo -ne "a\nb\n")" ; echo -n "$x" | xxd -p  # Output is: 610a62  # The trailing newline from the 'echo' command #   has been "deleted" by Command Substitution   I assume there must be some very significant reason for a shell action, namely Command Substitution, to actually delete some data from the command output it is substituting... but I can't get my head around this one, as it seems to be the antithesis of what it is supposed to do.. ie. to pass the output of a command back into the script process... Holding back one character seems weird to me, but I suppose there is a sensible reason for it...  I'm keen to find out what that reason is...

Linearlayout order is reversed on some devices How do wizards cast spells which appear on their spell list when it has a divine focus component? What does a wizard do to cast a spell which contains a DF component? Take  for example,  Components V, S, DF    A divine focus component is an item of spiritual significance. The divine focus for a cleric or a paladin is a holy symbol appropriate to the character's faith. The divine focus for a druid or a ranger is a sprig of holly, or some other sacred plant. If the Components line includes F/DF or M/DF, the arcane version of the spell has a focus component or a material component (the abbreviation before the slash) and the divine version has a divine focus component (the abbreviation after the slash).  So do wizards have holy/unholy symbols in their spell components pouch or what?

Different ways to execute a shell script There are several ways to execute a script. The ones I know are: /path/to/script # using the path (absolute or relative) . script        # using the . (dot) source script   # using the `source` command  Are there any other way? What are the differences between them? Are there situations that I must use one and not another?
