Sometimes I want to play games without other people bugging me. In the Steam client it possible to appear offline to your friends while playing. Does the Blizzard game client offer this same functionality?  If not, is it possible to just hide the fact that I am in a game from my status?
I have a number of friends on my battle.net account. However, sometimes I don't want to appear online to some (or all) of them. Is there a way to be hidden from your friends on battle.net?
Render Glass like materials with Alpha Channel to composite in external app Hope you can help me with some issues I've been dealing these days.  As I'm rendering products, most of the time I need to render some transparent materials in order to do a post-pro in Photoshop, change the backgrounds, superpose images, etc.  I've been looking for an answer but yet I've couldn't get a solution for this problem.  I need to render materials with transparency and no background in Cycles.  I've found that there are two ways to do this:   Render with transparency in the materials.  Render and get two renders, the original and another one only with the alpha channel to edit in Photoshop.   For the first option, I've achieved to render a glass-like material, as PET plastic using this node tree:    For the second option, I haven't found a way to get the alpha channel in cycles that includes the object with transparency and, if possible, the shadows in the background| but without the background. Possible Duplicates:             I'm wondering whether or not I should use a plural form noun with a collection name. For example, which one is correct, bookList or booksList (obviously they are variables in a programming language)? What are the rations Rey eats? In The Force Awakens, we see Rey pouring some flour-like polystarch rations into water so that the flour amazingly transforms into something that looks like bread. What are these rations? Is there any documentation of the fictional chemistry and biology that makes the starch rations behave as they do? A question on limsup A text says:     The surface tension of a liquid results from an imbalance of intermolecular attractive forces, the cohesive forces between molecules:   A molecule in the bulk liquid experiences cohesive forces with other molecules in all directions.   A molecule at the surface of a liquid experiences only net inward cohesive forces   If this is the case: Why is surface tension considered or experienced as a force parallel to the interface while it is so obvious that it must be perpendicular to it? The question is, what elements on a DM screen are essential? I'm new at playing and DMing, altough a lot of experience watching games, just got a group to play with now. Started with the starter set in 5E and the Lost Mine of Phandelver adventure, however I've noticed the game can come to a stop when checking the rules or how to do something, while getting the books and stuff like that. So I thought to make a DM screen with some cheat sheets, of the most usual things new players, and new DM's have doubts on, and how to make the game flow well without long rule-checking breaks. What are the essential things to have on that screen? So far this is what I found  but not sure if it has all I need or so much stuff that'll also make the game stop a lot while cheking it out. Compute $\int_0^\infty\frac{\cos(xt)}{1+t^2}dt$ Let $x \in \mathbb R$  Find a closed form of $\int_0^\infty\dfrac{\cos(xt)}{1+t^2}dt$ .   Let me give some context: this is an exercise from an improper integrals course for undergraduates. My teacher was not able to give a valid solution without  resorting to Fourier series.   He actually wanted to prove first that the function is a solution of the ODE $$ y-y'' =0$$ without succeeding in proving it.   Anyway the result sould be $\dfrac{\pi}{2}e^{-x}$  Thanks for any help on this subject. XML to CSV Using XSLT I have the following XML document:  &lt;projects&gt;   &lt;project&gt;    &lt;name&gt;Shockwave&lt;/name&gt;     &lt;language&gt;Ruby&lt;/language&gt;     &lt;owner&gt;Brian May&lt;/owner&gt;     &lt;state&gt;New&lt;/state&gt;     &lt;startDate&gt;31/10/2008 0:00:00&lt;/startDate&gt;    &lt;/project&gt;   &lt;project&gt;    &lt;name&gt;Other&lt;/name&gt;     &lt;language&gt;Erlang&lt;/language&gt;     &lt;owner&gt;Takashi Miike&lt;/owner&gt;     &lt;state&gt; Canceled &lt;/state&gt;     &lt;startDate&gt;07/11/2008 0:00:00&lt;/startDate&gt;    &lt;/project&gt; ...

I'm using .net in case that matters. How to validate an email address in PHP How to use an ESC I'm new to RC related modules. Today I got my 's Skywalker 20A brushless esc. Manual is .    I also have a brushless outrunner motor (HL3512)    I don't have any device to program the esc's (even the seller hasn't mentioned about such requirement).   The  talks about programming by listening to the beep patterns. But for that it seems that the esc should be connected to a flight controller (it talks about throttle positions etc...). But I don't have any flight controller.  Can some one tell me how to use the esc with what I have? (I have 2200mAh LiPo and  too) Assigning Multiple Cores to a Python Program I am a Saint Lucian and will be traveling to Manchester, UK soon about which I am a bit nervous.  Run Down:   I own a small business in my country (in the Caribbean), I have a certificate mentioning the details of the business from my Government. I pay rent in my country, but I do not have any loans (I hate owing). I pay life insurance in my country. I have a US B-1/B-2 visa (Visitor &amp; Business). I have visited the US once (last year November) on my US B-1/B-2 visa.   What I will be doing in the UK:   I plan to spend three months out of the six months which would be granted if I get leave to enter stamp. I plan to skydive in the first week and spend a few nights at an Airbnb. I plan to visit the Manchester Football Club stadium, I'm not the biggest of football fans but since I'm in Manchester, why not! I plan to do some more sightseeing and enjoy my time there. After the first week I will be staying with my female friend who owns an apartment for the rest of the time showing me around and helping me experience the UK lifestyle until June.   Why I'm leaving in June:   I am a WordPress enthusiast (I'm a Programmer) and WordCamp EU will be happening in France this year so I plan to fly from the UK to Paris where I will spend three days then take another flight from there to my country.   How my flights will be:   I will be taking a one-way Thomas Cook flight from my country to Manchester but will be purchasing my ticket for Manchester to France ahead of time so I could show Thomas Cook as well as Immigration that I don't plan to stay.   My concerns, could someone address them point by point please?:   I have a bank account but I just use it for collecting easy payments from my clients and pay for expenses. I store my savings in a credit union because of higher interest rates paid than the bank. When I applied for my US visa I showed a credit union statement showing my total balance. I'm seeing online that I should provide statements but these statements would look very bad since I my bank account is just for expenses... I mean it sometimes gets as low as $30 then, when my monthly earnings come in from clients, I withdraw savings to the credit union and leave what I need in the account for expenses. I read another post and it said people with bank statements showing poor spending might have difficulty but it's simply because the account is used for expenses not savings. For the later stages of my visit (after the first week) I will be staying with my friend. I will simply be staying with her to save on cost of Airbnbs for the next two months three weeks, even though they could be cheap, free is better right? I will be booking the Airbnb, skydiving and tours prior to traveling to the UK, will that help? Is my stay too long for staying with someone? I won't be depending on her for anything since I have my own funds...it's just convenient that she has a place where I could stay. If it is then I don't have a problem shortening my stay to 1-2 weeks and just head back to my country and take a separate flight to Paris in June.   I am nervous because I really want to visit the UK and see my friend, I am also not sure if the minimum amount of time that could be given to a visitor is six months? What if I get a round trip for two weeks and the Immigration officer gives me exactly two weeks stay, is that possible? Or is the minimum they could give six months?  Your help is very much appreciated, I want soon to try backpacking (nomad life) but I don't think my poor heart could take the stress of worrying about immigration :(  Update  Since people in the comments are asking about my relationship with the friend I plan to stay with even though she's from my country originally but now a UK citizens and we are simply friends. I'm getting the following error when i try and install MSSQL 2008 on Windows Server Standard 2008 R2: Can the milky way actually be photographed ? I know the image is manipulated, and is probably a composite, but how do you capture such contrast in the milky way? Is an equitorially mounted scope required? Any advice or pointers are welcome, thanks.  I'm heading out towards much less light polluted areas middle of next week and I want to try some nighttime sky captures with my 7D.  Additional info: I just found  on wikipedia that says: 54s, tripod mounted 5D, 16mm lens, f/2.8, ISO800. What else do I need to be aware of? My 7D is only an APS-C and the widest lens I have is 19mm. I'm thinking that might not be wide enough to capture an interesting shot? Restrict the scope of a command to the execution of another command I hope somebody has already figured this one out. I just installed Geoserver 2.9 on a vanilla Ubuntu 16.04 distro. The Geoserver 2.8 method of enabling CORS with the shanbe.hezoun class does no longer work with Jetty 9.2.13.  There are mentions that CORS support is already packaged with Jetty 9.2.13 in the jetty-servlets.jar.  The Jetty lib which is compiled with Geoserver contains a jetty-servlet-9.2.13.v20150730.jar in geoserver/lib but not jetty-servlets.9.2.13.v20150730.jar. Are these supposed to be the same jar with a different name?  It should be possible to enable CORS either in geoserver/etc/webdefault.xml or in geoserver/webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/web.xml.  My understanding is that the webdefault.xml is applied first and the web.xml thereafter.  I have tried following filter in both xml. I haven't got as far as adding a filter mapping. Adding the filter alone will cause the Geoserver/Jetty service to not start proper.  &lt;filter&gt;     &lt;filter-name&gt;cross-origin&lt;/filter-name&gt;     &lt;filter-class&gt;org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CrossOriginFilter&lt;/filter-class&gt; &lt;/filter&gt; Manga where the protagonist need to solve girl's quests Can someone tell me the manga in which the protagonist is teleported to an alternative world where he needs to make the girls fall in love with him, then he gains some skills like an invisible sword. Then, when he finishes these &quot;quests&quot;, he will be able to bring one of them to the real world. He has the ability to save and load like checkpoints of games. Prove that the union of the interior of a set and the boundary of the set is the closure of the set I'll denote closure of A with $\overline{A}$, $A^\circ$ as the interior of A, $\partial A$ as the boundary of $A$ and $A'$ as the accumulation points. I'm trying to prove the following:   $$\overline{A}=A^\circ \cup\partial A$$  Is this a valid proof?  Take $x \in A^\circ \cup \partial A$ then $x \in A^\circ$ or $x \in \partial A$   if $x \in A^\circ$ then $x \in \overline{A}$  if $x \in \partial A$ then $x \in \overline{A} \cap\overline{(X\setminus A)}$ thus $x \in\overline{A} $ so $A^\circ\cup\partial A\subset\overline{A}$  Take $x \in \overline{A}$ then $x \in A' \cup A$ thus $x \in A'\setminus A$ or $x \in A^\circ$  if $x \in A'\setminus A$ then $x \in \overline{(X\setminus A)}$ so $x \in \overline{A}\cap\overline{(X\setminus A)}$ and $x \in\partial A$ so $x\in A^\circ\cup\partial A$  if $x \in A^\circ$ then $x \in A^\circ\cup \partial A$ so $\overline{A}\subset A^\circ\cup\partial A$ Detecting an undefined object property What's the best way of checking if an object property in JavaScript is undefined?
