Is there a convenient way to not typeset a particular column in a tabular environment by modifying only the preamble of the tabular? That is, without modifying the body of the tabular itself?  My first idea was to do @{}&gt;{\nullfont}c@{} to zero out the spacing around the ignored column (here, a c column) and typeset it with a null font. I also tried several difference sizes of space inside @{}.  This works, but the spacing between columns is not the same as it would be if I'd just left out the column entirely. See the following MWE, where I've committed a deadly sin with vertical rules (doubled, even! ) to show the difference clearly:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{array}  \begin{document} \begin{tabular}{c|@{}&gt;{\nullfont}c@{\,}|c}   a &amp; b &amp; c \\   d &amp; e &amp; f \end{tabular}  \begin{tabular}{c||c}   a &amp; c \\   d &amp; f \end{tabular} \end{document}     What should be inserted so the spacing matches? I've tried various combinations of the standard spacing commands.   Or, is there a more convenient way to do this than what I've proposed?
I have a set of 10 tables and each has an extra column that I don't want. Specifically, these tables are descriptions of database tables exported by phpMyAdmin, and they all have a "MIME" column that I would like to remove. Is there a way to do this other than using string manipulation / find and replace?   I have tried setting the column to p{0in}, but the column title still remains.
How to get the full executable name of a running process in Linux What do you call a person who "shuts down" ideas? I don't want to use the Super for that, I want to use Alt+Space instead. Background Nowadays, I see &quot;them&quot; used to mean &quot;those&quot; a lot. I don't know if it was as common in the past. For example, take &quot;one of &quot;. On researching about it, I found some people say it comes from a dialect of British English. Some others say it is a &quot;non-standard&quot; usage. I see this usage in Canadian English also, and it seems some people use it in a sarcastic way. Moreover, I have seen a song titled &quot;one of them days&quot;. I also read, in the book called &quot;A Broken Promise&quot;, &quot;&quot; Finally, Wikipedia says that it is a usage in  (a common name for the Southern Midland dialect of American English):  Pronouns and demonstratives &quot;Them&quot; is sometimes used in place of &quot;those&quot; as a demonstrative in both nominative and oblique constructions. Examples are &quot;Them are the pants I want&quot; and &quot;Give me some of them crackers.&quot;    Question(s): What would you say about the usage of this word? Is it correct? Could we use it in daily speech? Could this usage go beyond a specific dialect and be used in other dialects, regions, etc.? Does it really originate from Appalachian English? Why did this usage become popular among other English speakers? Note: I have already seen a similar question:  However, it only says, &quot;ungrammatical,&quot; there. This question is specific to this situation only, and there is more to it. How can blackbody radition be explained by quantization? I don't understand why quantization makes a peak on the blackbody radiation curve (so there is no ) and the relationship between that peak and quantization concept.  When the blackbody is heated, it starts to glow. All atoms start to vibrate. Total heating energy must be divided and equally shared by all atoms of blackbody. Right?  But what happens next?  Do some atoms get much more energy to radiate at higher frequency and waste the energy? What happens at the atomic level, so quantization can explain it? What does classical physics claim, so it can not explain the radiation curve? Proof that $\frac{a^2}{b} + \frac{b^2}{c} + \frac{c^2}{a} \geq a+b+c$ I've tried getting everything on the left side and transforming it into something squared so that I can prove it's bigger or equals to 0 but I've been unsuccessful. Several responses to a question  suggested I try Opera kiosk mode, so I decided to download it and give it a try. Once the download had completed and the disk image was being verified, Safari hung for over a minute and there were periods where Safari used a very high %CPU:    In Mac OS X 10.5, I was accustomed to seeing Safari freeze, but it never used up more than 200% CPU (2 cores x 100%). Is this a bug in Activity Monitor? Or does this mean that %CPU is now more akin to ? With powershell get exactly the same application list as in Add/Remove programms Discrete and compact subset must be finite Is there a word for capitalizing in the middle of a word, as in "eBay"? Usually this sort of word is a trademarked name, such as eBay or BlackBerry.  Is there a word that describes capitalization mid-word? 8 GB RAM installed, only 7.5 GB usable. Windows 7 64-bit I just upgraded my computer's RAM, adding another 4 GB to the computer.  Windows 7 acknowledges that 8 GB is installed, but says only 7.5 GB is accessible.  Any idea why? I thought since I had the 64-bit Professional version this wouldn't be an issue. What are Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione's professions? After the end of the Second Wizarding War Harry Potter later married Ginny Weasley, and the couple had three children of their own: two sons James Sirius, Albus Severus, and one daughter Lily Luna. What are Harry and Ginny's professions? I heard that Harry became an Auror, but what about Ginny, Ron, and Hermione? I am getting the error:   touch: cannot touch `/opt/tsrm/compliance/cme/log/20121207.log`: No such file or directory   on the touch command: touch $LOGFILE  I also checked the link: , But I didn't understand the answer.   Note: I was also getting mkdir: cannot create directory; I fixed this by adding the -p option.   Could this be something with the version of Linux I am working in? Are there any security risks using a single key-pair for both key-exchange and signing?  I'm mainly interested in using Curve25519 for key-exchange and Ed25519 for signing. But similar combinations, such as EC-DH and EC-Schnorr or even EC-DSA with the same key pair would be interesting too.   Curve25519 hashes the output of an x-coordinate only Diffie-Hellman key exchange Ed25519 is a slight variant of EC-Schnorr signatures.   I saw some recommendations to avoid using a single key for multiple purposes, but I couldn't find anything concrete. How can we move an object with zero velocity? Consider there is a box of mass $m$ at rest on the floor. Most books give an example that we need to do a work of $mgh$ to lift the box $h$ upward.  If we analyze this work done, the external force acting on the box by us should be equal to the weight of the box. Therefore the net force is zero which in turn there is no acceleration. If there is no acceleration and the initial velocity of the box is also zero, how can the box move upward? How to install Wireshark I am new to Linux and have a need to install Wireshark 2.0.0 on VirtualBox's Xubuntu 14.04. I have already downloaded .tar.gz package and extracted it.

When I tried to print the following in visualforce page,  i am able to get the profile name  &lt;apex:outputText value="{!$Profile.Name}"/&gt;    But when i tried to print in the Apex class using System.debug(Profile.Name), I couldn't. Stop setInterval call in JavaScript I am using setInterval(fname, 10000); to call a function every 10 seconds in JavaScript. Is it possible to stop calling it on some event?   I want the user to be able to stop the repeated refresh of data. I have scene that looks like this:   And I want to add volumetric lighting to it so that light forms a rays of light when it go through the trees like on this example that I found in youtube:   But the problem is that all of these tutorials show how to make this lighting coming from windows, but when I try to replicate it in my forest scene it looks like big ugly fog with cubical shape. Also the light is coming from the back of the camera (as you can see) and there are some spots that needs this special lighting (like places where light goes through trees) and some that don't (like big bright are on the bottom left corner) so I can't just add a giant cube to all of the scene. How to download, modify, build and install a Debian source package? If I want to make minor changes to the source code of a Debian package, how do I go about downloading, incrementing the package version, building the (modified) source, and installing it on my computer?
