I'm having trouble exporting an SVG(or a PDF for that matter) from the QGIS print composer. I have a relatively simple map that should, when exported as an SVG, be maybe around 1MB in size, tops. But QGIS is exporting a 450MB file that's way too large for me to do anything with. I'm assuming it's somehow including a whole lot of data that isn't on the page but I can't verify because the file is too large for my computer to open in Inkscape.  I've exported good, small SVGs in the past where everything that didn't show on the print composer page was simply not included. Any ideas what's going wrong this time? Thanks!
I have put together a map using the British OS Strategi data set which is pretty densely detailed. It is surveyed at 1:250,000 and so contains roads down to track level, rivers, villages, railway lines - you name it. There's a lot of data.  When I try and export an image version of the map (at about 1m x 1m), I always get an 'Exception: bad allocation' error. This happens when I try to export as a raster image or PDF. I have tried printing to a PDF generator (CutePDF) but the same thing happens. The print spooler shows the file size at 1.6Gb.  I am running QGIS on a dual core 2ghz Windows 8 system with 4Gb of RAM. Is it just a case of the file being too big? Is there anything I can do? Or is there an alternative, free GIS package that would do a similar job?
SF novel -- the only human on a space station full of aliens Some things I remember:   Pretty sure the author was female The novel had won some award or other The title was one word (I think) and it started with "I" (I think) It would have come out in the mid to late 90s or early 2000s It was a paperback or trade paperback, in English.  The book was originally written in English as far as I know. The cover, if I remember correctly, had an orangish background.   The plot involved a sole human representative to what was effectively an alien "United Nations" type of organization.  There were myriad types of aliens, many of whom were completely biologically incompatible.  Even the ones that could live in the same conditions generally found each other either repugnant or incomprehensible.  The main character ended up feeling incredibly lonely and was "set up" with a superficially similar humanoid female, but found their pheromones were incompatible and it was still difficult to communicate. Let $Z_i,Z_2,\ldots$ be IID Random Variables with density $f$. Suppose that $P(Z_i&gt;0)=1$ and that $\lambda=\lim_{x \to 0+} f(x)&gt;0$. How can I show that $X_n=n \times \min\{Z_i\}$ has a limiting exponential distribution with mean$1/\lambda$?  I know that the CDF of the first order Statistic is for $t&gt;0$  $$F_{min \{ Z_i \}} (t)= 1- \left[ 1-F(t) \right]^{n}$$  Convergence in distribution requires that $F_n (t) \to F(t)$ for some distribution function $F$ but I cannot quite take the limit of the above, with $t$ replaced by $x/n$, as the distribution is not known. I guess I have to insert the second piece of information somewhere but I do not recognise where.  Could you please give me a hint or two?  Thank you. Why isn't the gamma function defined so that $\Gamma(n) = n! $? How to mount a virtual hard disk? Is it possible to mount a virtual hard disk (VHD, HDD, VDI, VMDK) on Ubuntu? How can this be done? Error installing virtualbox-dkms on Ubuntu 20 Ubuntu 20.04. I installed virtualbox using package; it worked, I created and ran a RM. But then stopped to work after software update.

It may be very cold in winters.   What is the difference between these two sentences?  People say when may is used then it means that it may be cold in winters or it may not be cold in winters. In other words, may means 'not sure'.  So does that mean if can is used then it is 100% sure that it will be cold in winters? What does the "RW" logo mean in a DVD+R? If you look at this product:    you can clearly see that it is a DVD+R, i.e. once it is written, it cannot be erased/rewritten.  Then what does the "RW" logo (in the lower right corner) mean? I thought it stood for ReWritable, but experimenting with the medium shows that it is not. How to ask for "Save Changes?" on Lighthing Component form when user tries to navigate away We have a Lightning Community and would like to prompt the user to "Save Changes" if they try to click one of the community's navigational components (home link, or other menu item) but they have unsaved form changes on a custom Lightning component.  Ideally, we'd have a window.confirm popup asking if they want to leave without saving their changes, and if they click Cancel, the URL navigation would be aborted.  Is this possible via custom Lighting Components and Lighting Communities, and if so, how? If not, are there any patterns to work around this? doGet and doPost in Servlets Automatic code reindent button Infiniteness of non-twin primes. Well, we all know the twin prime conjecture. There are infinitely many primes $p$, such that $p+2$ is also prime. Well, I actually got asked in a discrete mathematics course, to prove that there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that $p + 2$ is NOT prime.

How to install with Wubi when it says "Could not retrieve the required disk image files"? Why can my keyboard only digest 6 keypresses at a time? When I slam my hand onto my keyboard, only a maximum of 6 keys will be registered, I've tested this for the past few minutes and was unable to get more than 6. Is this the same on all keyboards? If not, what would be the distinguishing factor, If yes: why 6 specifically?  For clarification: I do not have a usecase for this, I am simply curious Is it possible to associate non-blend files with Blender? Is there a way to make Blender auto import files that are not .blend when you open them?  For example if you open a .fbx file by double clicking on it, and you have Blender set as default application, then import it to a new .blend.  Is it possible to make Blender import this .fbx file just like you would do it manually by using File > Import > FBX?  By default, Blender just opens up and loads default new scene when you open anything that is not .blend file. Example of non-isomorphic structures which are elementarily equivalent I just started learning model theory on my own, and I was wondering if there are any interesting examples of two structures of a language L which are not isomorphic, but are elementarily equivalent (this means that any L-sentence satisfied by one of them is satisfied by the second).  I am using the notaion of David Marker's book "Model theory: an introduction". Replace a long string with the sed command: Argument list too long error I'm trying to execute this command  sed -i -e "s/BASE_64/$BASE_64/" FILE_NAME   where $BASE_64 is a base 64 representation of a file content.  sed gives me an error since the string is too long.     Argument list too long   How is it possible to avoid this error? Is there a thumb-rule for designing neural-networks? I know that a neural-network architecture is mostly based on the problem itself and the types of input/output, but still - there's always a "square one" when starting to build one. So my question is - given a input dataset of MxN (M  is the number of records, N is the number of features) and a C possible output classes - is there a thumb-rule to how many layers/units should we start with?
