I am designing a tabular table (row/cell) containing 40 rows, 10 cells per row.  A requirement is that the rows be 7mm in height and cells 17mm in width.  The width I seem to have found.  I have not found a method (so far) to set an absolute/fixed row height.  Does such a mechanism exist, and if so, a pointer to the documentation would be most appreciated.   rob
I'm trying to create a multi-page table with all cells having the same height (as well as certain fixed widths) so that certain manual cut-and-paste operations are a lot easier.  One issue is that one column in particular is text-heavy and should line-break within the cell.  As I don't want it justified, I looked into alternatives such as .  This is doing exactly what I want for horizontal alignment.  For vertical alignment, I've looked at  and the \vphantom method detailed in the above link doesn't seem to be working.  Here's what I'm currently working with:  \documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage{array}  \newcolumntype{P}[1]{&gt;{\raggedright\hspace{0pt}\arraybackslash}p{#1}} \def\Z{\vphantom{\parbox[c]{1.7in}{\Huge Something Long}}}  \begin{document} \begin{tabular}{| c || P{0.5in} || P{0.5in} || P{5in} |}\hline  1.  \Z &amp;&amp;&amp; Long long long long long long long long long             long long long long long long long text  \\\hline 2.  \Z &amp;&amp;&amp; More long long long long long long long long             long long long long long long long text  \\\hline \end{tabular}   When I compile, the cells do not have a uniform height, and none of them are as large as 1.7 inches vertically.  So this suggests that somehow the \vphantom method is failing.  Does anybody know of a relatively straightforward solution to this problem?
Proof of "continuity from above" and "continuity from below" from the axioms of probability One of the consequences of the axioms of probability ($\sigma$ field and probability axiom) is the "infinite subset" and "infinite union" property, I can't figure out how it follows from them.  if $A_1 \subseteq A_2 \subseteq \cdots$ then   $$P\left(\bigcup_{i=1}^{\infty}A_i \right) = \lim_{k \to \infty} P(A_k)  $$  If $A_1 \supseteq A_2 \supseteq \cdots$ then   $$P\left(\bigcap_{i=1}^{\infty}A_i \right) = \lim_{k \to \infty} P(A_k)  $$ Are Canon EOS and Nikon DSLR lenses interchangeable? Can we use the lenses from, say a Canon EOS 550D kit (Canon EF-S 18-55mm) with a Nikon DSLR D5000 for example) ? Also, is the reverse possible ?  I'm looking at interchangeability between recent DSLR lenses only, and not with older lenses. Also, for "average" lenses, and not ultra wide/ultra zoom.  The reason for this question is that I'm trying to decide between a Nikon D5000 and a Canon EOS 500D. I like the Nikon better, but Canon is more popular here amongst people I can interchange lenses with :) Why is the colour picker displaying tinted colors? The colour picker is behaving not as I expect it to. I cannot move the selector towards most of the edges, setting the RGB to 1.00 for red and the rest to 0 just gets an orange colour. Also I cannot simply keep the "value" the same and select a different shade, the "value" resets.  I'm not sure if i've pressed something in error or there is a setting in the user preferences/elsewhere that needs changing. I'm using the cycles renderer. The issue occurs with any colour picking :- material, background etc. Quitting Blender and restarting does not resolve the issue. Version 2.79.6 Wrongly set chmod / 777. Problems? I was trying to run chmod -R 777 ./ but ended up typing chmod -R 777 / and set 777 on my entire machine. What can go wrong? How can I fix it? Why do you add +1 in counting test questions? So assume $Y$ and $X$ are exponentially distributed with parameters $y_1$, and $x_1$ respecitively.  assume c is a constant.  I am having huge trouble to understand the integration of the following expression.  $P(Y&lt;c/u(X))$  $=\int_{t}^{\infty}f_X(x)\int_{0}^{c/u(x)}f_Y(y)dydx +\int_{0}^{t}f_X(x)\int_{c/u(x)}^{\infty}f_Y(y)dydx$  where t is the cross-point that $u(x)$ change sign    here $c/u(x)$ is given by the plot below, t is the point crossing the zero:   Confusion:   I don't understand the second integration of the second term "$\int_{c/u(x)}^{\infty}f_Y(y)dydx$", this isn't right because Y an X only defined for y>0, and x>0. So it's the first quadrant in this plot. Typo in First Posts queue If you go to the First Posts review queue, and if there's an answer in the queue and if you hover with your mouse over "No Action Needed", then you get a tooltip "this answers seems to be valid":  But it should be "this answer seems to be valid". Other users have been leaving me angry and hostile comments accusing me of plagiarism and saying that I'm a liar and I should stop stealing answers. But I have only been copying content from other sites, not taking answers from other users.   I don't understand what is wrong here. Shouldn't we be focused on building all the content and knowledge in a single place, much like Wikipedia does?  What does it matter that I copy and paste content I've found elsewhere so long as the question gets an answer? I am going to put an additional (non-USB) hard drive in my system. I already have Ubuntu on my other hard drive so I do not want to install Ubuntu on the additional drive but only use it for storage. How do I add the additional hard drive to my Ubuntu system, e.g. make Ubuntu recognize it and mount it properly? I understand the idea of a focal length for a single lens, i e the distance from the lens to the point at which parallel rays of light converge. However, in the case of a photographic lens with multiple lens elements, where exactly is the focal length of the lens as a whole measured from? How to do seperate render passes in blender? I a lot of VFX breakdown that uses something they call "render passes". From what I see, they are rendering the clip in seperate ways (like rendering the ambient occlusion, specular, shadows, depth of field, etc individually and then combine it). Is there any way I can do this? When can we use 'much' in affirmative clauses? Double Range for Storm Sphere with Spell Sniper Spell Sniper says:     When you cast a spell that requires you to make an attack roll, the    spell’s range is doubled.   Can I apply that to the part of Storm Sphere that says:     Until the spell ends, you can use a bonus action on each of your turns   to cause a bolt of lightning to leap from the center of the sphere   toward one creature you choose within 60 feet of the center. Make a   ranged spell attack. You have advantage on the attack roll if the   target is in the sphere. On a hit, the target takes 4d6 lightning   damage.   The spell itself does not require the caster to make an attack roll. But there is the option to make a spell attack. I'm not sure if the Spell Sniper feat could be applied here.  Would the lightning attacks of the Storm Sphere benefit from the Spell Sniper feat? During the 'Hard Answers' Thieves Guild quest, Karliah asked me to meet her at the Ragged Flagon.  However, it seems that she doesn't show up at the rendezvous point.  Where do I find her? Can a hyphen be used without anything on the right side? Can "Wow!" be a sentence? The question is clear. Can "Wow!" be a sentence?  Imagine a hypothetical context where I'd utter something like this:     Wow! What an amazing idea! I should think about a way to push this fix.   We see "wow" in casual speech often. It bears punctuation marks (typically an exclamation mark, denoting the rising intonation) and a capital letter &mdash; just like all "regular" sentences.  On the other hand, neither Wow! nor What an amazing idea! contain any verbs. These certainly don't have any parts of speech in the other sentence, so what are they? Are they sentences or clauses? In other words, can "Wow!" be a sentence despite its lack of [any implied] verbs, and subsequently lack of any distinguishable predicates?  Please back up your answers with references. Prove by induction: $$\frac1{n+1} + \frac1{n+2} + \cdots +\frac1{3n+1} &gt; 1$$  adding $1/(3m+4)$ as the next $m+1$ value proves pretty fruitless. Can I make some simplifications in the inequality that because the $m$ step is true by the inductive hypothesis, the 1 is already less than all those values? raw_input in python without pressing enter Update #2: Seems that it was my secondary screen the one that didn't show the color! Tried with another screen and I could see the progress clearer... perhaps a stronger color will make it easier to see across different devices?  Update: Seems to be an issue in Firefox, as I tried on Chrome and the progress is visible.    I just noticed that the badge progress on your user profile had it's style changed (don't know when but it seems that recently).  However, seems that the progress of gold badges is not working properly. If we see the Bronze and Silver badges, they are "filled with color" as you progress on the badge, however golden ones are not colored (just the border).   Here a picture illustrating what I say:    Is there a reason for this behavior? S tabular with alignment
