This question , but I hope that new QGIS features may have produced an anwswer.   In the new QGIS version, are there new raster features  similar to the vector features "action button", label menu or Qt Designer form, that may allow  to display a raster label (not band value) ?
I have been struggling for one hour with this simple problem (QGIS 1.8.0-Lisboa, Windows 7) :  I have a raster layer. I would like to display the label and not only the band value when I use the Identify Features button. Is it possible?
I read about Java's type erasure .  When does type erasure occur? At compile time or runtime? When the class is loaded? When the class is instantiated?  A lot of sites (including the official tutorial mentioned above) say type erasure occurs at compile time. If the type information is completely removed at compile time, how does the JDK check type compatibility when a method using generics is invoked with no type information or wrong type information?  Consider the following example: Say class A has a method, empty(Box&lt;?&nbsp;extends&nbsp;Number&gt;&nbsp;b). We compile A.java and get the class file A.class.  public class A {     public static void empty(Box&lt;? extends Number&gt; b) {} }     public class Box&lt;T&gt; {}   Now we create another class B which invokes the method empty with a non-parameterized argument (raw type): empty(new Box()). If we compile B.java with A.class in the classpath, javac is smart enough to raise a warning. So A.class has some type information stored in it.  public class B {     public static void invoke() {         // java: unchecked method invocation:         //  method empty in class A is applied to given types         //  required: Box&lt;? extends java.lang.Number&gt;         //  found:    Box         // java: unchecked conversion         //  required: Box&lt;? extends java.lang.Number&gt;         //  found:    Box         A.empty(new Box());     } }   My guess would be that type erasure occurs when the class is loaded, but it is just a guess. So when does it happen? Why is lock(this) {...} bad? The  says that public class SomeObject {   public void SomeOperation()   {     lock(this)     {       //Access instance variables     }   } }  is &quot;a problem if the instance can be accessed publicly&quot;. I'm wondering why? Is it because the lock will be held longer than necessary? Or is there some more insidious reason? Is this correct? "One of the things that makes him great is..." One of the things that makes him great is he brings it every night.   I'm pretty sure it should be that make him in the plural, because one of the things is referring to a lot of things and a lot of things should take a plural verb. But I always hear native speakers in America say it in the singular, so with an s.  Another example:     This is one of the responsibilities that comes with greatness and he understands that.   Native speakers always use the verb in the singular (here, comes) even though [I believe] it is grammatically incorrect to use the singular form of the verb there.

When I try to sync my iPhone with my computer, I get the following message:       iTunes could not back up the iPhone "iPhone Name"   because the backup was corrupt or not compatible   with the iPhone.

Flag apron shows superfluous closing anchor tag I awoke this morning to a spam flag on a site I moderate, and noticed this when I went to read the post.

It is obvious a proper spell is needed for completing a Horcrux. Voldemort could have made a thousand Horcruxes, as he had already murdered a thousand people. But, how on earth did Harry become a Horcrux, with Voldemort murdering his mom and not using the Horcrux-making spell? Certainly Avada Kedavra is not the spell used for making a Horcrux.

The  spell has a duration of instantaneous, which implies that the familiar itself is not an ongoing magical effect. However, the spell provides a number of ongoing features that are definitely supernatural:    The familiar disappears when it drops to 0 HP. The wizard can temporarily or permanently dismiss the familiar. The wizard can communicate with the familiar telepathically. The wizard can observe through the familiar's eyes and ears. The familiar can deliver touch spells on behalf of the wizard.   Which of these features are considered magical? For example, would any of them show up to a detect magic spell or be suppressed by an antimagic field? In addition, is my assumption above correct that the familiar itself is not considered magical?
