I just want to color the font of a single row and a single column in two different tables. I have found some example for how to do so. How to do row from  and how to do column from  (where I just changed gray to white and added the color green &gt;{\columncolor{white}{\color{green}}}).  But as seen in the examples below the text (for some reason I don't understand) is jumping a line. I have tried many different things, but I can't make it NOT jump a line and just stay in place.

How to programmatically remove a field from a node? Stars and pins are retained when chat messages are moved! In what order should the Star Wars movies be watched? Please don't lynch me, but I've never sat through an entire Star Wars film. I'm aware that the 3 (new) films are technically prequels, but I feel strange watching 3 new films then 3 old films?

Sort files alphabetically before processing I use the command  find . -type f -exec sha256sum {} \; &gt; sha256SumOutput   to hash every file in a folder hierarchy.

"I feel bad for you" versus "I feel badly for you" How to use different domains for multilingual sites and keep users logged in? I have a site that is in French and English. I am able to successfully setup so that users can switch back and forth between the two domains to view either language, however I cannot seem to keep users logged in. When they are logged into the english domain and then switch to the french domain they are required to login again. However if they switch back to the english domain they are still logged in.

I am submitting my first article to ArXiv and in the instructions they specify I have to include the .bbl file. Their instructions are:  "We do not run BibTeX in the auto-TeXing procedure. If you use it, include in your submission the .bbl file that BibTeX produces on your own machine; otherwise your references will not come out correctly. We do not run BibTeX because the .bib database files can be quite large, and the only thing necessary to resolve the references for a given paper is the .bbl file. The name of the .bbl file must match the name of the main .tex file for the system to process the references correctly."  My knowledge of LaTeX is basic, and I have not heard of .bbl file before. I am using TeXmaker. I have my tex file and my bib file. So what do I exactly do to obtain the .bbf file correctly and submit the article?  Thanks a lot!

Just spotted on one of the machines its rendering something different from the actual scene that I have setup.    Top window shows a different set of layers objects to whats actually being rendered in the rendering window below.  In my scene contents, layers objects 1-5 are not visible, but these are the ones that look like they are being rendered.  The only thing I can assume is that perhaps it might be because I did not save the document before clicking render, but I would not have expected that behaviour (you dont need to save your word document before printing it).  Can anyone confirm why this is happening? "died from" versus "died of" Why can't I say “She died from drinking 18 cans of Coca-Cola”? Instead, the correct sentence would be “She died of drinking 18 cans of Coca-Cola”. Why does that happen? I am trying to run a function from  in ArcMap 10.1; Sink evaluation. But before it can finish it returns an error message, that, frankly, I don't understand at all.  It goes System.runtime.interopservices.comexception (0x80004005): error hresult e_fail .  Can anyone help me solve this? I have tried all I can think of. Run the function from the toolbox instead of dropdown menus, shorten paths, restart ArcMap, reinstall AHT, open new map documents, restart my computer, wait till next day and see if it automagically have fixed itself...   After searching this forum I found a , although it's got no answers. Now I'm all out of ideas, can anyone please help me?!    I'm using ArcMap 10.1 SP1 basic license and Windows 7.    I think I have narrowed it down a bit, still not clear what's wrong though. Sink evaluation uses a series of functions in Arcmap, of which one is Zonal statistics as table. That's the one it gets stuck on. The input raster somehow does not exist, path unknown. I guess this is some intermediary raster.       After consulting the Arc Hydro team, I got the advice not to use grids stored in a gdb (which I didn't). I have also tried to change target locations, thanks to @G.Oxsen. Unfortunately neither of those solved the issue. According to the Arc Hydro team, GPL0 that I asked about earlier is an in-memory grid, so probably no problem there.   I am currently pursuing that it is related to the installation of SP1. Anyone out there using AHT with SP1 and got Sink evaluation working?    Uninstalling SP1 did not change anything, unfortunately. Still working on this, but with less intensity. Seems like I'll have to find workarounds...    By reducing the number of sinks in need of processing I managed to get Sink evaluation running. Having the files not stored in a gdb seem to help as well, as mentioned earlier, and using integer grids.  Changing the "Maximum number of unique values to render" in ArcMap Options (Customize menu), tab Raster --> Raster dataset is another tip that I got (from the Arc Hydro Team). Restarting ArcMap after running every one or two functions also helps keeping things stable. Coloring lines inside textarea Uninstall apps locked by phone vendor I'm using a Samsung I9000 and I have some annoying apps that came pre installed by the phone vendor, like a music store, a custom web browser and other memory leaking apps.

I would like to use a software to control which program may connect to the internet. I know that this behaviour is associated with the word "firewall", but some Linux users are very upset if somebody demands a Personal Firewall. I don't want to upset you by demand such a program. I don't want to "secure ports" or other stuff a Personal Firewall promises on Windows. I looked into iptables but it does not fit my requirements.  I saw an excellent answer here () but it's very uncomfortable to set this up.  Is there a software that asks for each program if it may access the internet?
