How to use BibTeX in thebibliography in LaTeX
biblatex in a nutshell (for beginners)
Decrease Backlight Below Minimum I have this laptop that doesn't handle the backlight very well.  In /etc/default/grub, I have added a acpi_backlight=vendor function to get it to work at all. Which is cool, and the backlight now actually works, but the minimum backlight setting is still pretty high.  Is there any way to decrease the backlight below minimum? I don't mind having to type in the terminal to do that, as I won't need to do it often (just at night etc.) How to extrude and scale with an even offset? Is there a printable version of a reference manual for all TeX primitives? A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client Every time a user posts something containing &lt; or &gt; in a page in my web application, I get this exception thrown.  I don't want to go into the discussion about the smartness of throwing an exception or crashing an entire web application because somebody entered a character in a text box, but I am looking for an elegant way to handle this.  Trapping the exception and showing     An error has occurred please go back and re-type your entire form again, but this time please do not use &lt;   doesn't seem professional enough to me.  Disabling post validation (validateRequest="false") will definitely avoid this error, but it will leave the page vulnerable to a number of attacks.  Ideally: When a post back occurs containing HTML restricted characters, that posted value in the Form collection will be automatically HTML encoded. So the .Text property of my text-box will be something &amp; lt; html &amp; gt;  Is there a way I can do this from a handler? Questions can be protected (i.e. marked "highly active").   What does it mean for a question to be protected? Why are some questions protected? Who can protect and unprotect questions? Who can answer a protected question? How are protected questions displayed? When should I protect or unprotect a question? When does the Community user protect a question? Do I have an SSD and a hard drive on my MacBook Pro? I looked at the details provided in  my system report/storage and I noticed that it appears I have a hard drive of 499.05GB and an additional SSD drive of 499.42GB. Does this mean I have 1TB of data? I only have 139GB available so do I have 500GB 'hiding' somewhere? (If so where??)  I am unsure how to interpret this information- why does it list both storage types? Is it duplicating the information?

I am creating a query that finds the shortest path from dangerous crossing nodes to hospitals (many-to-many). I have the proper output from pgr_dijkstra, with output as follows  seq | path_seq | start_vid | end_vid | node | edge | cost | agg_cost  -----+----------+-----------+---------+------+------+------+----------    1 |        1 |         2 |       3 |    2 |    4 |    1 |        0    2 |        2 |         2 |       3 |    5 |    8 |    1 |        1    3 |        3 |         2 |       3 |    6 |    9 |    1 |        2    4 |        4 |         2 |       3 |    9 |   16 |    1 |        3    5 |        5 |         2 |       3 |    4 |    3 |    1 |        4    6 |        6 |         2 |       3 |    3 |   -1 |    0 |        5    7 |        1 |         2 |       5 |    2 |    4 |    1 |        0    8 |        2 |         2 |       5 |    5 |   -1 |    0 |        1   I am trying to use st_makeline to create seperate lines for each individual node path, however thus far the function has been creating one big line SELECT  st_transform(st_makeline(t1.the_geom),4326)         FROM pgr_dijkstra(                 'SELECT osm_id as id, source, target, cost FROM spatial.melbourne_edges',                 array(select hospital_id from hospitals_in_vicinity),                  array(select crossing_id from dangerous_crossing_nodes), false) as route                 inner join spatial.melbourne_nodes t1 on route.node = t1.id --);  How am i able to make a column of all the different paths? What is 'Currying'? I've seen references to curried functions in several articles and blogs but I can't find a good explanation (or at least one that makes sense!) bibtex and genitive / possessive 's: the proper way to obtain "Kuran's (1989) model" Is there an automatic way to attach a genitive apostrophe or " ' s " to an author's name?  Currently I use:  \citeauthor{kuran1989}'s \citeyear{kuran1989}   But since this comes up regularily I'd like to know whether there's a general solution. Permission denied, are you root? I get this error whenever I try to install programs using the terminal:  home@ubuntu:~$ apt-get install myunity E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?   Also I'm unable to install updates using the terminal. Most properties of a single binary operation can be easily read of from the operation's table. For example, given $$\begin{array}{c|ccccc} \cdot &amp; a &amp; b &amp; c &amp; d &amp; e\\\hline a     &amp; e &amp; d &amp; b &amp; a &amp; c\\ b     &amp; d &amp; c &amp; e &amp; b &amp; a\\ c     &amp; b &amp; e &amp; a &amp; c &amp; d\\ d     &amp; a &amp; b &amp; c &amp; d &amp; e\\ e     &amp; c &amp; a &amp; d &amp; e &amp; b \end{array}$$ it is easy to check that it is closed (no elements occur in the table which don't occur as row or column index), commutative (the table is symmetric), has a neutral element (the row and column of $d$ are copies of the index row/column), and has an inverse element for each element (there's a $d$ in each row and column). In other words, almost all important properties can immediately be seen. The only part missing is associativity.  Therefore my question: Is there a simple way to see directly from the operation's table (i.e. without doing explicitly all the calculations) if an operation is associative? What happens 'internally' on a unstable/overclocked/undervolted CPU? When you undervolt or overlock an CPU, when it passes a certain limit it starts to make the system unstable, reboot, etc. But these are the effects of it.  What I'm curious about is what happens on the CPU. What happens? It gives wrong answers to instructions? Bits on cache flip? How to integrate $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}$ using substitution? How you integrate $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}$ using following substitution? $1+x^2=t$ $\Rightarrow$ $x=\sqrt{t-1} \Rightarrow dx = \frac{dt}{2\sqrt{t-1}}dt$... Now I'm stuck. I don't know how to proceed using substitution rule. How old is Chewbacca, anyway? Do Wookiees get gray fur when they are old? Unable to get force:inputField or force:outputField to render inside other markup in Lightning Component when used in Lightning Experience Correct usage of "see" vs. "watch" How to Highlight a Row on Active Status I have a column which should define in list if the issue is in status: -Not Started, Active, Completed.   I would like to ideally add some colour to this by the row for example if completed it is green or active it is red. Then it highlights the whole row, do you know if this can be edited within the columns settings or if there any step by step instructions that can be followed to make this change? (ideally for someone new to sharepoint)  Thank You
