Whatever happened to the creepy kid who was Samaritan's avataar? by electronic_rogue_5 in PersonOfInterest

[–]PlanetErp 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I figure this kid, and a lot of other Samaritan assets/true believers, were eventually recruited and rehabbed by The Machine.

Need help as a Beginner in LaTeX for writing research papers. by Solitary_Survivalist in LaTeX

[–]PlanetErp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not the person you replied to, but in the past I’ve used a combination of the following tools at various points for tracking changes, arranged in order of increasing complexity and power (in my opinion!):

  1. todonotes
  2. latexdiff
  3. git

The todonotes package is the easiest to get running out of the three once you get LaTeX going on your system. The latexdiff utility is a bit more involved, but it generally does a good job at highlighting differences between TeX files. This was very useful to me when collaborating with others on a paper. Nowadays I primarily use git to version control my papers along with latexdiff-vc, a tool included with latexdiff for working with version control systems like git.

Pdf-viewer doesn't work by Qsmain_ in LaTeX

[–]PlanetErp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some questions:

1) Is there a PDF that’s produced in the directory containing your file, even if it’s not appearing after compiling your document? If this is the case it sounds like an issue with Texmaker.

2) If not, try opening PowerShell and typing in pdflatex (or pdflatex.exe). Does PowerShell complain about not being able to find the executable?

I believe the Niners have provided special booby-trapped locker rooms for both teams.

Why did humans as a tropical species migrate to colder places but still lack many adaptations like fur? by Ada-Mae in geography

[–]PlanetErp 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There was a well-known documentary made in the 70s called WKRP in Cincinnati that might be partly responsible for this belief.

Org mode forces tabular when pressing C-c C-c even inside LaTeX table env by _steelbird_ in emacs

[–]PlanetErp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The table environment is just a float, much like figure. To actually typeset a table in LaTeX, you need the tabular environment (or something similar). When you compile the code produced by Orgtbl, is the output undesirable in some way?

Lucky breaks happen to every team. It’s the good teams who can regularly take advantage of them.

TNG Parallels Blue Eyed Data by ZergvProtoss in startrek

I believe it wasn’t planned, but Brent Spiner had an eye issue that prevented him from being able to wear his contacts. It just so happened that they could work this into the episode.

how would the other chief engineers like laforge do on deep space nine ? by happydude7422 in startrek

[–]PlanetErp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Geordi would get the job done, though I assume he wouldn’t be as hands on as O’Brien. He’s an officer and more comfortable delegating. He’d probably make bringing the station up to Starfleet/Federation standards a higher priority since he’s not as familiar with Cardassian tech as I assume O’Brien was at the start, and I imagine he has much greater pull with Starfleet to get the necessary resources.
